HEAR YEA! HEAR YEA! HEAR YEA!
The voice of one and the voices of many in the streets crying out…
PREPARE THE WAY OF THE LORD!
Make yourselves ready for the Lord of lords and the King of kings comes. He comes ablaze in His Glory. Riding the clouds of His return, His eyes sweep the earth for His beloved. Are you ready to receive your King, your Bridegroom? Are you one of His beloved? Is Jesus your beloved?
Holy and Righteous is His name and there is none like Him. The radiance of His Glory shines forth, blinding the darkness as He draws His Bride to Himself. Are you one of the wise virgins waiting with heart anticipation for your beloved? Is your lamp lit? Have you trimmed the wick of your lamp? Do you have extra oil?
His angels trumpet His approach and there are the sounds of Heaven making ready the Great Wedding Feast. Great joy abounds in the ceremonial preparations. Is there a seat reserved in your name? Have you circled your heart with love only for Jesus. Is He your beloved? Have you made Him first in your life?
In Splendor our Lord and King is clothed. His raiment is whiter than snow and His beauty surpasses even the most brilliant of gems. His love reaches out to His Bride arms of Grace as He draws us nearer to Him. We are His Beloved and He is ours. Is your wedding garment spotless? Have you repented of your sins? Are you cleansed by the Blood of the Lamb?
The Presence of our Lord shines forth, more intense than the noon day sun and holds us in His rays of love. Stay in The Light. For the gaze of our Lord will hold you in His embrace and His love will transform you into His image and likeness.
His Light shines in the darkness and reveals all. Let him who has eyes see. Come into The Light where nothing of darkness can touch and defile you. Remain in The Light for always the darkness flees The Light. If your eye is single, then your whole body will be filled with His Light. Do you have your heart set on Jesus? Does your life honor His Father? Do you love all the saints? Do you hold unforgiveness toward anyone in your heart?
Truly I tell you, our Lord draws near. Can you not hear the sound of His approaching footsteps and the swish of His garment? Silence all around you and still your being. He is not afar off. The day of His return for His Bride is upon us. Are you prepared? Are you watching? Have you told others so they too may prepare and be ready and watching for our Lord’s arrival? What has been freely received needs be freely given.
Though time is short, there is still so much to do. The Lord approaches, the Wedding Feast is being made ready and there are still so many souls lost in the world of darkness yet to be saved. We are God’s extended hand of Grace to them. From the darkness they see us in Christ like fireflies flickering in the night air for the light of God burns bright within us. We are their hope and the salvation of their souls is our gift of love to our beloved Jesus. As His Bride-to-be, it is fitting that we gift our Beloved with that which His heart desires most – SOULS ADDED TO HIS KINGDOM. Let us therefore, like Jesus, be about our Father’s business. For it is our Father’s desire that none should perish. It is written, “Be not hearers of the Word only, but doers also.” Let us therefore ensure that we are cleansed of our sins through repentance; for our lives need burn brightly, unsullied from sin. Many lives are in need of saving. Let us therefore in love labor for our Lord’s heart’s content.
