Become the Bride of Christ
Let it be known that all men must serve and obey the voice of the Father. You are created in His image and your life belongs to him. Have you truly given your life over to the Father, then obedience must come from within you.
Many have sacrificed their lives because of their commitment to God their Father. They did not suffer in vain and their life is remembered as a martyr. Can you say the same? Can you lay your life down and let the Spirit lead you? Can you sacrifice your needs for what the Father wants for you? Have you truly given your life to him?
Sacrifice is what is needed in today’s world. Not many of my children know what it means to live a sacrificial life unto the LORD. Many do their own thing and call it work of the LORD, but that is not approved by God. What is needed is daily sacrifice unto the LORD letting him lead you day by day. What is the difference between honoring the Father in obedience and doing whatever pleases you? One is obedience and the other is negligence.
Can you see what has taken place in the body of my Bride? Can you see that many do not want to even listen to my voice. Do you shut your eyes to their indifference or do you pray for their hearts on their behalf? It should matter how the Bride of Christ functions because you are all one in me. Not one of my children are disconnected from each other and your hearts all belong to me.
Take a good, hard, look at my Bride and note the differences between those who love me and those who are indifferent. Does it matter that my Bride is not on fire for me and that there is no passion burning within their hearts? Do you even see the apathy corrupting their lives? Let your eyes be opened to see as I see and be concerned for your fellow man. These are your brothers and sisters who don’t even know me.
How can you say you serve me and not even know me intimately? How can you be ready to lay down your life for me when you truly haven’t experienced my power in your life? Do you even know me and what I have done to make all things possible for you? Your happiness lies in the things of this world rather than in the life I can only give.
Come to me and let me search your heart. Let me evaluate the thoughts that flow through your mind. Let me illustrate to you how to serve me more effectively and to bring your life back into proper alignment with me. Let me show you how to live each day and how to walk in the ways of YAHWEH. Carry me with you night and day searching to know the heart of God. Let me prepare you to become the Bride of Christ.
