An
Everlasting Wedding
Revelation
19:6-9
6 And I heard, as it were, the voice of a great multitude, as
the sound of many waters and as the sound of mighty thunderings, saying,
“Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! 7 Let us be glad
and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and
His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And to her it was granted to
be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the
righteous acts of the saints.9 Then he said to me,
“Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper
of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of
God.”
Are
you ready church? We have a wedding celebration that is prepared for us by
Jesus Christ. There is only a little time left to get ourselves ready for this
glorious day to come. Have you received your invitation? If so, have you rsvp’d
yours? Stop right now with whatever it is you’re doing and handle your business
and affairs because this is a one-time only invitation, and you don’t want to
miss it!
The
saints of God must understand the true nature of this crucial wedding that they
are getting prepared for. You see the day when we accepted Jesus Christ as Lord
and Savior that bind us to Him. Our journey started there at that moment for us
to join Him and begin a love relationship with Him through His Word and
Spirit.
As
our old mind sets and ways start to shift by the reading of the Word of God we
are being transformed and renewed into being a new creation in Christ. The Holy
Spirit makes His presence known to us by an encounter of His choosing e.g.,
dream, vision, prophecy, or place, etc. However, He does it you are the only
one that knows when your spirit and life changed.
Now
that the journey has begun our hearts and minds are now being renewed daily to
follow Christ and obey His Word. He’s weaving a love relationship with us that
we’ve never known before, and the joy of the Holy Spirit fills us with this
hope and peace it’s far greater than a beautiful diamond ring. Yes, the Holy
Spirit seals us to Christ till the day of redemption. We are set apart to be
used for God’s glory and because we are His bride- the church.
The
things that we used to do we don’t want to do them anymore. Now that we have
found someone whose love is stronger and who loves us even more is a love worth
fighting for. There is no time or room for any more loves, idolatry, falling
back in love with sin, picking up our old ways, sneaking out at night to see
old boyfriends, no more pillow talks and late-night phone calls to stir up lust
and passion.
Our time
is now being spent doing the things of the Lord. We’re praying and praising
Jesus for saving us, interceding for loved ones and others to get saved,
reading the Word of the Lord, going for walks, and talking with the Lord as we
go about our day. Thanking the Holy Spirit for being our helper and for guiding
us through the journey.
Although
life is still going on and the enemy is always operating in people that we
either love or are acquainted with to distract us from our time with the Lord.
That’s why the Lord sent us the Holy Spirit to help us and to teach us the Word
of God, so that we could see the things that are happening in the spirit and
natural world. This is to equip us to be able to walk in the Spirit for the
Holy Spirit is the Spirit of all truth.
We must
continue to pursue our relationship with Jesus and grow to understand His
nature and how He wants to be loved by us. He demonstrated His love for us by
dying on the cross for the sins of the world. He has a plan for us to not harm
us to give us hope and a future. Now that we are united with Him through the
Word and Holy Spirit and the Father our intimacy must remain active. Truly a
marriage is only beautiful and pure as your love for each other flows back and
forth.
Christ
has done the work to prove His love for His bride when He gave up His life for
the church to be His only bride forever. Now that we are being prepared through
our service to God daily and being washed and clean with the Word our hearts
and minds should be focusing on our wedding day.
Quietly
ponder if you will on the day how amazing it will be to sit at the table as a
bride of Christ. All hearts and spirits will be new, and the heavenly hosts
will all partake in worshiping our King of kings – Jesus Christ our Savior
forever lives.
An Everlasting Wedding
While
you wait in obedience
As
you pray to the Lord with faith
His
will is always the best
He
knows every single thought
As
He works it out for your good
Open
your soul as He fills it with love
When
you smile know that you are His
He
hears every single prayer that you moan
He
has all the power and blessings to rain
You
will never be without His love
As
you walk down the isle of grace
Take
His hand and don’t look back
