“Glory to the Precious name of our Lord Jesus Christ”

Revelation 21: 7 He who overcomes shall inherit all things, and I will be his God and he shall be My son.

May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen

How the victorious bride, the church is being comforted

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, God has kept some precepts as laws for those who have borne male children or female children when they should come in the holy presence and how they should come. Only if we follow them God will cleanse us and will enable us to partake in his holy place. Also, when we say male child is shows the church which is victorious and bearing a female child is the weakness in faith. Therefore, for those who are bearing male children forty days and for those who are bearing female children eighty days will be their days of purification.

The bearing of male children is a pattern of Christ who overcame the worldly life. Our soul because of the resurrection of Christ, because of grace is saved and rises up as the church of Christ. That is why, those who have borne male children, which is the first fruit should submit the child to God and that is the law of God. That is why, Hannah is submitting the first fruit as an offering to God. How she is submitting is that 1 Samuel 1: 26 – 28 And she said, “O my lord! As your soul lives, my lord, I am the woman who stood by you here, praying to the Lord. 

For this child I prayed, and the Lord has granted me my petition which I asked of Him. 

Therefore, I also have lent him to the Lord; as long as he lives, he shall be lent to the Lord.” So, they worshiped the Lord there.

After she submits the child to the Lord in this manner, I Samuel 2: 1- 10 And Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; My horn is exalted in the Lord. I smile at my enemies because I rejoice in Your salvation.

“No one is holy like the Lord, for there is none besides You, nor is there any rock like our God.

“Talk no more so very proudly; Let no arrogance come from your mouth, For the Lord is the God of knowledge; and by Him actions are weighed.

“The bows of the mighty men are broken, and those who stumbled are girded with strength.

Those who were full have hired themselves out for bread, and the hungry have ceased to hunger. Even the barren has borne seven, and she who has many children has become feeble.

“The Lord kills and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and brings up.

The Lord makes poor and makes rich; he brings low and lifts up.

He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory. “For the pillars of the earth are the Lord’s, and He has set the world upon them.

He will guard the feet of His saints, but the wicked shall be silent in darkness. “For by strength no man shall prevail.

The adversaries of the Lord shall be broken in pieces; from heaven He will thunder against them. The Lord will judge the ends of the earth. “He will give strength to His king and exalt the horn of His anointed.”

When we are meditating on these verses, what Hannah bore is the salvation of the soul and because of that she is rejoicing in the Lord and speaking about God’s mercy coming upon us, she is praising God. Also, 1 Timothy 2: 15 Nevertheless she will be saved in childbearing if they continue in faith, love, and holiness, with self-control.

When we meditate about these facts’ childbearing means it is a pattern of salvation. Also, Isaiah 66: 7 – 14 “Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before her pain came, She delivered a male child.

Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? Or shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children.

Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord. “Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.

“Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her; Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;

That you may feed and be satisfied with the consolation of her bosom, that you may drink deeply and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.”

For thus says the Lord: “Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a flowing stream. Then you shall feed; on her sides shall you be carried and be dandled on her knees.

As one whom his mother comforts, so I will comfort you; And you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.”

When you see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like grass; The hand of the Lord shall be known to His servants, and His indignation to His enemies.

Before she was in labor, she gave birth; before her pain came, She gave birth. These two facts cannot be heard by anyone and cannot be seen. In the same way, what God is asking us shall the earth be made to give birth in one day? It will not. That is, earth means it is us. No one can receive the fullness of salvation of the soul in one day. But for as soon as Zion was in labor, she gave birth to her children. The meaning of this is that even though Christ was in labor together he is giving birth to his children. That is, on the cross along with suffering unto death it is written that he shall see His seed and he shall prolong His days. That is why, God is telling that he shall not bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery. The God who is causing us to give birth will not cause the delivery to stop.

Therefore, let us all take in the word of God well, obey and live along with him and receive glory in the soul and rejoice says the Lord. If we will be in this manner, peace will flow like a river. We will drink the word of God, which is the milk. Also, he is carrying us on his hips and is dandling us on his knees. 

Keeping us on his hips and carrying us means sitting at his feet and listening to the word of God and dandling us on his knees means that if we will stand on our knees at his feet and pray Christ will dandle us and make us grow, and so that we do not fall we will grow in grace every day. As a mother comforts her child, when our difficulties come, he will comfort us. Then our heart will rejoice. Our bones, which is our soul will flourish like grass. All these are the testimonies regarding the church of God.

God is blessing his servants in this manner. Let us also submit ourselves for these blessings.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly.
