Are you ready?

The Book of Revelation paints a vice picture of a wedding in the sky; a beautiful Bride, an excited Bridegroom with the choruses of angels singing praises to God. Chapter 19, verse
7 says, ” Let us rejoice and exult and give him glory, because the wedding celebration of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready.” What does that look like? How do prepare for this mystical union with our Beloved?
First of all, we need to see ourselves as God sees us; the perfect choice for His Son. We were always made to be in heaven, to marry the Lamb, to be His Bride. I truly believe that if more people knew what they were born for, if they knew their tue destiny it would not be so hard.
The moment you say yes to Jesus, you’ve said no to to hell, and yes to eternity in love. Every step in your relationship with Jesus is all in preparation for the Marriage. When you give your life to Jesus, it’s the beginning of your engagement, you know how it will end. The amazing difference between Jesus and any other groom is that He’s not backing out of this deal. Ever!
He plans on spending the rest of eternity with you.
Focussing on eternal things means that you rest in the confidence that your Lover, laid down His life just so that He could be with you, all you have to do is love Him in return. 1 John 4:
18 There is no fear in love, but perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears punishment has not been perfected in love. There is no need to be afraid of this love, it’s perfect, pure and holy. Too often, we feel that we need to pray more or sin less to be worthy of His love. The fact is, in a healthy relationship, you are yourself 100%. You walk together, honouring each other. That’s why, once you’re saved, you are dead to sin. In fact, let’s erase sin from the equation, just live your life with the view to please you Man and you’ll find that sin is far from you.
Bill Johnson puts it like this; “Jesus is coming back for body that’s in proportion with His head.”
A Bride that knows she’s worthy of this Man.
A Bride that is secure in the love between them.
A Bride that is a laid down lover and holds nothing back.
A Bride that knows, beyond a shadow of doubt that there is nothing that can stop Him from loving you.
A Bride that knows your Lover will never betray your heart.

An anointed singer/songwriter in our generation ends his song “Beautiful” with these glorious lyrics; When we arrive at eternity’s shore
Where death is just a memory and tears are no more
We’ll enter in as the wedding bells ring
Your bride will come together and we’ll sing
You’re beautiful.

Yes. He is, and nothing is holding us back from Him.
