Journey of Faith

10 Listen to me, O royal daughter; take to heart what I say.
Forget your people and your family far away.
11 For your royal husband delights in your beauty;
honor him, for he is your lord.
12 The princess of Tyre[c] will shower you with gifts.
The wealthy will beg your favor.
13 The bride, a princess, looks glorious
in her golden gown.

16 Your sons will become kings like their father.
You will make them rulers over many lands.
17 I will bring honor to your name in every generation.
Therefore, the nations will praise you forever and ever.

- Psalm 45

The The Bride of Christ is the church, the men and women of GOD who walk with Him and worship Him in Spirit and in Truth. Why does GOD compare our great union with GOD like that of a Wedding? Calling that great day the marriage feast of the Lamb. GOD's return to earth to take away His followers and all those that love HIM will be as wonderful as a wedding day. His feelings for every one who seeks His face and desires His love everyday is like what David writes about in this book in Psalm 45. GOD delights in the beauty of you and He wants to take you on a journey. This is a beautiful invitation to take GOD's hand and be in a glorious adventure with Him.

When you step out in faith and heed to His words and respond to His calling, your blessings will overtake you left and right. Favor upon favor from both man and the heavens will come upon you. His purpose to take you on a journey is to refine you and make you even more glorious than you are already beautiful. Soon He is coming for us, are we on a journey with Him? Our faith cannot remain stagnant as GOD emphasizes that we move from strength to strength and glory to glory. We are going upwards in the Spirit, until He meets us in the clouds.

The Spirit & Bride say Come!

14 How blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they have the right to eat from the Tree of Life and go through the gates into the city! 15 Outside are the homosexuals, those involved with the occult and with drugs, the sexually immoral, murderers, idol-worshippers, and everyone who loves and practices falsehood. 16 “I, Yeshua, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the Messianic communities. I am the Root and Offspring of David, the bright Morning Star. 17 The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come!’ Let anyone who hears say, ‘Come!’ And let anyone who is thirsty come — let anyone who wishes, take the water of life free of charge.” 

- Revelations 22: 14-17

History records that the book of Revelations was written on 96 A.D. The book of Daniel was written on 165 BCE. Both books were written almost 3 centuries apart. But what is the difference between the two books? Both books talk about prophetic messages, about what will happen in the last days. They talk about events in human history that will change the whole world, especially in the last days. In Daniel 12:4 GOD tells Daniel “But you, Dani’el, keep these words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end. Many will rush here and there as knowledge increases.” GOD instructs Daniel to seal the Book which HE has written, keeping it a secret because nobody will be able to understand during that time what GOD was saying because it was still a long way to go.

But it is written in Revelations 22:10 Then he said to me, “Don’t seal up the words of the prophecy in this book, because the time of their fulfillment is near. Now, just how close are we to the fulfillment? Nobody can measure the time because GOD did say that nobody knows the time or the hour. But it is very clear then from this chapter that the time is near! There is no need to argue when, it is near! It's been 2100 years since the death of our loving Savior, and still HE hasn't come but the words in Revelations are already coming to pass. If you are watching the signs and waiting for the return of Your LORD, then the events in our time will greatly excite you. GOD reminds us to continue to keep ourselves Holy by remaining in JESUS. When we remain close to Yeshua our Savior, we are made holy by Him. Only those whose hearts do not belong to GOD will be outside the gates of HIS City. Every follower of Jesus has unified longings in their hearts, His great return. So, with everyone who has the Spirit of GOD is also called the Bride of Christ, male or female, we cry out to Him with one heart, one desire, "Come!".
