Awaken The Bride

I believe that the Bride of Christ, His Church as a whole is about to awaken and become the Bride He meant for us to be. He is beginning to take us back to our roots. The traditional Church has been asleep for the most part, but He is coming to rouse us with His kiss of love. He is coming to heal us and restore us. Together with our Bridegroom, the Great King, we shall take back the nations for God, defeating the enemy as we go. I believe our greatest weapon is love in this final hour.
The Church has tried to use head-knowledge and programs to reach people, shoving canned scripture down their throats and trying to fit them in their own self-centered and shallow programs, thus causing more damage than good. The Church has been looking for what it can get out of people instead of what it can give to people. This is not His message. His message is a message of love, calling forth their dreams and destinies. He is love. Love is the two-edged sword that will cut through their chains and set them free to rise up and fulfill their destiny and purpose in Him.
My heart is for the Church to become more organic, less of a Sunday morning programmed event and more a way of life. Church is not a day of the week, church is not a building, the Church is who we are. It's our very life. We are the Church. We are the Bride of Christ. The time has come for us to stand and take our rightful place of authority in the earth. We will rise up as an army of love, as living worship to the Lord. We must discover our lost identity. We must have a revelation of who we are. We must redefine our vision in accordance with His heart. This is our only hope.
The only way this will happen is if we continually abide in the flame of His love. We must be branded by His presence. We must be saturated in His glory and be melted by His fire. We must become a true reflection of Him and all that He is, becoming His very hands, eyes and voice in this land.
Until this great awakening comes into it's fullness, we His watchmen must continually cry from the wilderness, calling forth His Bride. We must make known the revelations of the Lord and His great love. We must awaken the Bride. |
