Book excerpt: Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the LORD has risen upon you. For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise upon you, and his glory will be seen upon you. - Isaiah 60:1-2 In the midst of thick darkness, in a time of fear, uncertainty, stress, and confusion, the Lord is going arise upon us and express His glory through us. But is only going to happen with our active participation. Now is the time to get ready. The glory of God is not primarily seen in His power but in His love. If we are to be a part of the spread of His glory throughout the earth, we need to enter into a whole new realm of love. We need to arise and take our place as the Bride of Christ. We become children of God by right of our new birth through faith in Jesus. However, we only become the bride of Christ by right of the marriage covenant--an exclusive commitment to love Jesus with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. This is not a covenant for the casual believer. It costs us everything, but the reward it brings is a life of selfless love, joy, and unity with our Bridegroom. This book contains 30 devotional chapters that reveal God's passion to bring us into wholehearted love and intimacy with Jesus. Each chapter has reflections that are designed to connect readers with their Bridegroom. If you are hungry for the love of God; if you are willing to seek Him as your Bridegroom, then you will see your life forever transformed. This transformation will not come only from what you learn, but from encountering Jesus and receiving His glorious love. Jesus is waiting. If you can hear His call to arise and come away, this book is for you. Testimonies After spending seven years enslaved, Sarah escaped. Yet years later, she still constantly struggled with the pain of her past. One day she was given a copy of Bride Arise. As Sarah read the book, Jesus became real for her. He poured out His love upon her and took her on a rapid journey of radical transformation. Read inside to hear Sarah's testimony of overcoming tragedy and discovering Jesus as both her Healer and her Bridegroom! From the Author The whole of Scripture reveals a God of unimaginable love; One who created us as expressions of His love and who wants to share His love with us. The highest call for each of us-men and woman alike-is to accept His will and choose to love God with our entire being. If we are willing, He is able to make it a reality. This commitment to keep the greatest command is the covenant of the Bride. In our relationship with God, becoming the bride of Christ has nothing to do with our sexuality, but rather speaks of coming into a life of the wholehearted love, intimacy and unity with God. May the Lord give you a Spirit of revelation in the knowledge of His love. May He become more real to you than ever before. May He inspire you with His love and overwhelm you with His beauty. And may you find the thrill of discovering Jesus as your Bridegroom! I would love to hear about how God uses this book to bring you deeper into His love. So after you read this book, please feel free to email some feedback or leave your testimony in a review. All blessings and love in Christ! - Geoff (Jeff) Woodcock, author.

Download or read book The Bride of Christ Goes to Hell written by Dyan Elliott and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 2011-11-16 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The early Christian writer Tertullian first applied the epithet "bride of Christ" to the uppity virgins of Carthage as a means of enforcing female obedience. Henceforth, the virgin as Christ's spouse was expected to manifest matronly modesty and due submission, hobbling virginity's ancient capacity to destabilize gender roles. In the early Middle Ages, the focus on virginity and the attendant anxiety over its possible loss reinforced the emphasis on claustration in female religious communities, while also profoundly disparaging the nonvirginal members of a given community. With the rising importance of intentionality in determining a person's spiritual profile in the high Middle Ages, the title of bride could be applied and appropriated to laywomen who were nonvirgins as well. Such instances of democratization coincided with the rise of bridal mysticism and a progressive somatization of female spirituality. These factors helped cultivate an increasingly literal and eroticized discourse: women began to undergo mystical enactments of their union with Christ, including ecstatic consummations and vivid phantom pregnancies. Female mystics also became increasingly intimate with their confessors and other clerical confidants, who were sometimes represented as stand-ins for the celestial bridegroom. The dramatic merging of the spiritual and physical in female expressions of religiosity made church authorities fearful, an anxiety that would coalesce around the figure of the witch and her carnal induction into the Sabbath.

Download or read book Rising to Royalty written by Bishop Audrey Drummonds Ph.D. and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-08 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rising to Royalty is a prophetic message of hope and inspiration to the body of Christ to seek out their divine calling of being the bride of Christ Jesus while in their natural body in earth. Jesus said in John 14:12, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.” Rising to Royalty shares the secrets of the Father that he gives to his prince and princesses to rule and reign on the earth as he promised in Proverbs 25:2–3: “It is the glory of God to conceal a matter; to search out a matter is the glory of kings. As the heavens are high and the earth is deep, so the hearts of kings are unsearchable.” Does your heart long to know the height, the depth, and the hidden promises of your Heavenly Father through your relationship with Jesus Christ? It is time for you to shake off the old you and begin to be the bride who prepares herself to reign with her king. “I, John, saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband” (Rev. 21:2).

Download or read book The Bride Bridegroom written by Riaan Engelbrecht and published by Riaan Engelbrecht. This book was released on 2023-06-06 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Lord is our Bridegroom, and those who belong to Jesus Christ are His Bride. Those who believe have been included in Christ when they heard the message of truth, the gospel of our salvation. The moment we hear the message of the gospel and receive salvation we are betrothed to Christ. Such a Bride is sold out for the Bridegroom, seeking to be with Him and to love him for all eternity. This church—the Bride of Christ—is not one specific local church or denomination but the entire body of believers throughout the ages. All who have trusted the Lord and received salvation by grace through faith are collectively His Bride. As the Bride, we are called to have only one true eternal love – Christ. The Lord Jesus is our Bridegroom, the Lover of my soul. It means that we share His love. It means we bear His Name. We are called to uphold the name of Jesus. Through our actions, words, behaviour and conduct, we must bring honour to the name of our Bridegroom! We are His Bride, and as such, we must bring honour to our Bridegroom. We must not put Him to shame. What He loves we must love. He must be ours and captivate our attention day and night. In any true marriage, the bridegroom and the bride give themselves to each other, unreservedly and forever; and in this holy relationship of the saved sinner and the Saviour, it is the same. We are called to shine the light of the Bridegroom, to be ready for His coming, and to be without spot or wrinkle when it happens. We must make every effort to be found pleasing unto the Bridegroom, for the marriage feast in heaven will outshine any grand wedding that has ever been held on earth! The Bridegroom is indeed glorious, so let us prepare and remain consecrated unto holiness. May the Bridegroom find a pure and faithful Bride at His blessed coming!

Download or read book When He Appears written by Ron Auch and published by New Leaf Publishing Group. This book was released on 2000-08-01 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A study of the Song of Solomon, exploring how the romantic language is really symbolic of Christ and His bride, the Church, as it awaits a wonderful future in heaven. The message is really that, as the Bride, we the Church should be anxiously awaiting His soon return.

Auch’s special insight into this difficult and often overlooked book will prove to be a rich vein of hope for the Church.

Download or read book The Liberated Bride written by A. B. Yehoshua and published by HMH. This book was released on 2004-10-04 with total page 576 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Israeli professor and an Arab student join forces in a witty novel that “tells a simple story about a region that complicates all it touches” (The New Yorker). Yochanan Rivlin, a professor at Haifa University, is a man of boundless and often naïve curiosity. His wife, Hagit, a district judge, is tolerant of almost everything but her husband’s faults and prevarications. Frequent arguments aside, they are a well-adjusted couple with two grown sons. When one of Rivlin’s students—a young Arab bride from a village in the Galilee—is assigned to help with his research in recent Algerian history, a two-pronged mystery develops. As they probe the causes of the bloody Algerian civil war, Rivlin also becomes obsessed with his son’s failed marriage. Rivlin’s search leads to a number of improbable escapades. In this comedy of manners, at once deeply serious and highly entertaining, Yehoshua brilliantly portrays characters from disparate sectors of Israeli life, united above all by a very human desire for, and fear of, the truth in politics and life.
