Here Comes The Bride

I have to laugh at the Lord, and the way He chooses to give me insight that yields his peace.

I have started hearing the wedding march in the air.

It is not about the decision the courts made yesterday.

It is about the emerging Bride.

There is going to be a wedding. Oh that we would anticipate it the way the lesbian/gay rights movement has anticipated theirs. Can we learn from that?

Can we judge that? Have we made them jealous for our heterosexual marriages? have we stunned them with our passion and love?

It takes some shaking to reveal the weaknesses in the structure. Let us look upon our own cracks in this hour.

Suppose…we have withheld legitimacy from a gay or lesbian couple and thereby have prohibited them from finding where all true marriage is birthed- in the heart of God?

If we have problems with gender here, what are we going to do in heaven when genderless beings are all around?

Suppose, the cry for marriage is really a cry for intimacy, for God, and his blessing? Can God separate a person’s behavior from the desires of their heart? If he does not do that the way we want him to, is that still okay? Doesn’t he do that with me? Isn’t that what I call mercy?

Suppose the Bride would not emerge the way she is suppose to without the fervency a perceived counterfeit produces?

Have we had an agenda all along, to love them so they would see things our way?

Isn’t the conviction of sin Holy Spirit’s job?

Are we setting ourselves up, as Christians, to be seen as ridiculous zealots and bringing our own prejudice upon us?

yes, my Bible reads- in 1 Cor 6- Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. And such were some of you. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.

So if a person chooses the Bible I choose, and believes in the same Jesus that I know, and they choose to not inherit the kingdom of God, what is that to do with me? If there is a washing or a sanctification done, it is done by Jesus, not by me. How then do I condemn?

I think it is important that the sounds of heaven are louder in my ears than the sounds of earth. I hear the wedding march- the Bride is making herself ready.

While it was before the courts, my job was to fast and pray, as David did when his baby yet lived. But when the baby died, he arose, washed and anointed himself and went into a meal with others.

There is a marriage on the earth that transcends the earth and portrays the marriage anticipation in heaven. That cannot be legislated by man. Only God knows the fullest definition of that. I am not the expert.

The joy of my God is able to save the heart that wants salvation. The light from my King can open the eyes of the blind. The power of my God can keep those who belong to Him. The breath of my God is freely given and contains grace towards me. So my internal rest is not dependent on external fluctuations and change. It is by grace, I am saved, through faith- not of works- lest any man boast.

I went to some meetings in the spiritual realm before Ireland took her vote.

My King is on the move, he has a plan, and he is love. I rest there in confidence. My house is built on nothing less. Selah
