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

Revelation 22: 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let him who hears say, “Come!” And let him who thirsts come. Whoever desires, let him take the water of life freely.

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

Hallelujah

Where is the bride, the church situated? In our soul

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, in the portion of the Bible that we meditated upon in the past days, we meditated regarding how the bride, the church should worship God and they should leave all the traditions and should carry only our Lord Jesus Christ as our personal saviour in our soul. God is speaking all these words to Moses and is telling him to write it.

Exodus 34: 27 – 35 Then the Lord said to Moses, “Write these words, for according to the tenor of these words I have made a covenant with you and with Israel.” 

So he was there with the Lord forty days and forty nights; he neither ate bread nor drank water. And He wrote on the tablets the words of the covenant, the Ten Commandments.

Now it was so, when Moses came down from Mount Sinai (and the two tablets of the Testimony were in Moses’ hand when he came down from the mountain), that Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone while he talked with Him. 

So, when Aaron and all the children of Israel saw Moses, behold, the skin of his face shone, and they were afraid to come near him. 

Then Moses called to them, and Aaron and all the rulers of the congregation returned to him; and Moses talked with them. 

Afterward all the children of Israel came near, and he gave them as commandments all that the Lord had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. 

And when Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face. 

But whenever Moses went in before the Lord to speak with Him, he would take the veil off until he came out; and he would come out and speak to the children of Israel whatever he had been commanded. 

And whenever the children of Israel saw the face of Moses, that the skin of Moses’ face shone, then Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with Him.

Then God is making a covenant with Moses and the Israelites. But Moses was on the mountain for forty days without eating or drinking and He wrote the Ten Commandments on the tablets of the covenant, and then he took the two tablets of the Testimony and he is coming down from Mount Sinai. When Moses was coming down in this manner from Mount Sinai because God spoke to him, he did not know that the skin of his face shone. But when the children of Israel saw, they saw his face shining, and they were afraid to come near him.

My dear people, the reason why God has showed this thing as a pattern is that Mount Sinai is Christ and when we sit with fasting and prayer for forty days and as people who have left the traditional life we should be as those where his commandments are written in our heart of flesh. Only if we have such fasting and prayer in our life, we can write his words, that we hear from God, in our soul by the Spirit. Therefore, surely, we must wait in the presence of God and receive the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Those who have received it should renew it every day.

Isaiah 40: 28 – 31 Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the Lord, The Creator of the ends of the earth, neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable.

He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength.

Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall,

But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.

My dear people, who are reading this, if we wait in God’s presence he is the everlasting God, he neither faints nor is weary  and protects us day and night and gives us heavenly food and shows us the path that we must walk and leads us everyday and he does not become weary and gives strength to him who becomes weary and to those who have no might He increases strength. Only if we wait in God’s presence, we can receive new strength. Without being faint, without being weary whatever sufferings may come we must bear them, be united with God, and live by receiving grace. 

Regarding this 2 Peter 3: 12 – 14 looking for and hastening the coming of the day of God, because of which the heavens will be dissolved, being on fire, and the elements will melt with fervent heat?

Nevertheless we, according to His promise, look for new heavens and a new earth in which righteousness dwells.

Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;

When we meditate upon the above-mentioned verses, if he is telling that for hastening the coming of the day of God, wait looking for it means only then we will be able to safeguard ourselves so that our traditions, sinful customs and habits will not have a place in us again. Also, when the day of God comes our old traditional sin, iniquity, transgression all these God burns with fire, to cleanse us he descends in our soul as a consuming fire.

Regarding this, it is written in God’s word which says in that day the heavens will be dissolved, and the elements will melt with fervent heat. Then God’s promise, which is righteousness will dwell. This is written regarding receiving the strength of the Holy Spirit. But you may have heard many people preaching about this in a different way. Therefore, once again search, analyze and work accordingly.

2 Peter 3: 16 – 18 as also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which untaught and unstable people twist to their own destruction, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures.

You, therefore, beloved, since you know this beforehand, beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; 

but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory both now and forever. Amen.

Therefore, meditate upon the above-mentioned verses beware lest you also fall from your own steadfastness, being led away with the error of the wicked; but let us all grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

If we grow in this manner 2 Peter 3: 14 Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without spot and blameless;

As a bride, the church in this manner let us be prepared and we who are waiting for the bridegroom to come to take us let us be without spot and blameless in his presence let us be careful and receive it. God is using Moses and showing this as a pattern. On that day, because of the shine that was in the face of Moses no one could go near him. Therefore, when Moses was telling the Israelites everything that God said he put a veil on his face. But this veil is being removed by Christ.

Regarding this 2 Corinthians 3: 14 – 18 But their minds were blinded. For until this day the same veil remains unlifted in the reading of the Old Testament, because the veil is taken away in Christ. 

But even to this day, when Moses is read, a veil lies on their heart. 

Nevertheless, when one turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. 

Now the Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty. 

But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.

When one repents and turns to the Lord, the veil is taken away. That is why Jesus Christ is telling Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand. That day, it was shining outside, in these days it is shining in our minds. In this manner, let us submit ourselves for our soul to be blessed as the bride, the church.

Let us pray. May the Lord bless you all abundantly
