Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St. Paul's Letter to the Ephesians is a bold declaration of love. We were in the ruminations of Abba before the stardust formed into galaxies and the earth coalesced into its present shape. Indeed, Abba's dream for his people already existed in those primordial days. Today we have the opportunity to wake up and embrace his dream with enthusiasm and intentionality. As members of his church, individually and collectively, we want to embrace God's desire for a dynamic people infused with his passionate love. The church as the bride of Christ is a powerful metaphor engaging the apostle as he writes his letter. Paul's passion becomes ours as we meditate on his words, which evoke spiritual desire. It is in this relationship of love that the central purpose of our lives is found. As we gratefully receive Christ's amity, and as his bride returns it, so the entire earth is enflamed with the fires of his love. At the same time, we recognize it is a mystery--this love between Abba and his church. When we receive and reflect Christ's overtures of love as a community of faith, a synergy is created and released through the interconnectedness of our gifts, talents, and zeal. The church contains the spiritual energy of a nuclear explosion, and when it detonates, it releases a fallout of love, mercy, and compassion, bringing healing to the world and drawing others to the divine presence.

Book excerpt: Jesus promised He would come again to take us to be with Him to a place He has prepared for us, and scripture states it is an incredible place and life He has for us, beyond our comprehension. We can begin to experience this abundant life and walk in these Kingdom blessings here and now. As we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, to lead, convict, teach and empower us to live for Christ we will be prepared for His coming. The real question is not when is He coming, but who is He coming for and will I be among those He receives to Himself? Concerning these end times and His coming, Jesus said though we wouldnt know the exact hour or day, but that we are to be looking for the signs of His coming to watch, pray and be ready for Him to come at any moment. As we watch, pray, and then do whatever He asks us to do, we will be ready for His coming or our going to be with Him, whichever comes first. The Bride has made herself ready! He is coming to take a prepared people to a prepared place, so what does it mean to be ready? In light of the possible imminent return of Jesus, what manner of persons ought we to be/how would we want to be found by Him? What sort of Bride does Jesus desire/deserve and will He accept? Who is He soon coming for? A Passionate Bride not cold or lukewarm but deeply in love with and devoted to Him; one looking and longing for His coming, preparing for His arrival, and desiring only to spend every minute in His presence. It is the essence and key to everything we are and do for the Lord. Everything comes down to loving God and others.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bride Made Ready is the New Covenant prospective for keeping the Feasts of the Lord, not by the letter of the law, but by God’s Holy Spirit. Keeping these feasts is more than acknowledging and receiving Jesus’ redemptive work on the cross for the salvation of our spirit. It penetrates our lives far more deeply. It is learning to yield to the refining and defining work of the Holy Spirit for the progressive salvation and maturation of our souls while yet here on earth. As we are transformed into His very image from glory to glory, we will become truly one with Him. Jesus is not returning for a toddler bride, but a radiant, holy, mature bride of Christ who lives and moves in His full stature and mindset. The reader will learn how to permit the work of the Holy Spirit upon us individually and corporately that the church may arise to shine forth God’s glory in character and in works before a lost and dying world. She will express and release His love locally and globally. Christ’s beloved and obedient bride who has been made ready will graciously reach out in glory and expand the family of God throughout the earth by the radiant light of Christ within her before He takes her away to celebrate the supper of the Lamb together.

Book excerpt: An unexpected promise . . . an everlasting passion. An accomplished musician, Dorothea Flammel has refused more proposals than any London debutante; her only true love is her music. Dory’s shimmering talent and beauty have long been adored from afar by Thomas Wheel, an untitled gentleman who can only dream of asking for the hand of a nobleman’s daughter. But when her father, the insolvent Lord Flammel, arranges for Dory to marry a lecherous Earl in order to pay off a debt, she runs to Thomas—and proposes marriage to him. Eloping to Scotland saves Dory from a disastrous fate, but what is for her a mere marriage of convenience proves more passionate—and more complex—than either imagined as rumors, scandal, and buried emotions come to light. And when a vengeful challenge from a drunken and embittered Lord Flammel puts Thomas’s life on the line, will the fragile trust between husband and wife be enough to save them both?

Download or read book His Bride Has Made Herself Ready written by Debra Webster and published by . This book was released on 2015-11-30 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Bridegroom Lamb's heart cries out in this day yearning for the readiness of the bride. Some in the bride company have not yet discerned the depth of His passion not only in His death, but also in His yearning for His bride now. Others think they have to perform in some way and are falling short. Still others are so wounded by the process of coming to know Him they do not know which step to take next. How does one get ready? How can a wounded warrior ever be ready for the Bridegroom God? How can those unaware of the depth of His passion understand the urgency? Are there things we can do to fulfill His desire? The phrase "His bride has made herself ready." is from the book of Revelation. This book describes the triumph of the Bridegroom Lamb. Every enemy is conquered including the Harlot. Since the Harlot is the counterfeit for the bride and exists not only in the world, but also in the church this victory is necessary in order for the bride to come forth. The wheat and the tares grow together until the end. Immediately following the judgment of all that is against God, we are told the bride has made herself ready. This means that the book of Revelation is not only about the Lamb's victory, but it is about His great passion being fulfilled, the readiness of the bride. This understanding is important if the bride is to learn how to respond to His unparalleled sacrifice and immense passion. He is Prince Charming seeking Cinderella. But He needs no glass slipper to find her. He courts her with great love and He raises her from the ash heap to be His beloved. He is the romantic fulfillment of every woman and man who has ever loved. He gives us instruction throughout the scriptures so we might know how to receive His love and ultimately become ready. This book instructs the reader on the key attributes of the mature bride. A contrast is drawn between those who think they are ready and those who are truly ready. There is a wedding rehearsal the bride must take part in. She is a warrior dancer bride and she must understand that this is part of her preparation. She cannot get ready without this training and rehearsal. She will also never be ready without understanding His unlimited love. Readers will gain a new depth of understanding of the love of their Bridegroom as they read. Bride City Of God The King reigns and His glory shines from the city of His heart. The focal point of heaven Is this city. His throne dwells there. His light illuminates every corner. The emerald rainbow lights her. The sea of glass illumines her. Glory shines from her Refined as pure gold Purified as transparent gold. The King her only light. She carries His heart. Forever, She always has, From before time began She was His. Forever His
