Vision of Bride, Jesus perspective!

 Sunday, October 29, 2023

During the morning service this past Sunday, I had a vision of the Bride of Christ from the Lord's perspective.  I saw the Lord descending and stop, as he caught a glimpse of his bride that filled the sky with her stunning gown and bridal veil, representing the righteousness of the saints, as she had made herself ready.   He was filled with inexpressible joy, love and wept from the sight of her!  At last the day he had longed for had finally arrived and here she was waiting in the clouds, gloriously transformed, now finally together for ever, ready for the marriage supper and the place he has prepared for her.  

This reminded me of my own wedding day as my husband stood for about 45 minutes at the alter, waiting for his bride to walk down the isle. My parents had gotten lost on I-285 so we all waited for their arrival [no cell phones either!] so my father could walk me down the isle to be joined to my soon to be, very handsome husband.  When I joined him at the alter, he stood there crying as I was finally handed over to him, finally to be joined together, as the waiting was now over. This is what I thought about as I experienced this glorious vision, l I felt was from the Lord's view point. 

SCRIPTURES:

[Rev 21:1-11 KJV] 1 And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. 2 And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God [is] with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, [and be] their God. 4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away. 5 And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. 6 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. 7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son. 8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. 9 And there came unto me one of the seven angels which had the seven vials full of the seven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, Come hither, I will shew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 10 And he carried me away in the spirit to a great and high mountain, and shewed me that great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, 11 Having the glory of God: and her light [was] like unto a stone most precious, even like a jasper stone, clear as crystal;

[2Co 11:2 KJV] 2 For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present [you as] a chaste virgin to Christ.

[Jhn 3:29 KJV] 29 He that hath the bride is the bridegroom: but the friend of the bridegroom, which standeth and heareth him, rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom's voice: this my joy therefore is fulfilled.

[Rev 22:17 KJV] 17 And the Spirit and the bride say, Come. And let him that heareth say, Come. And let him that is athirst come. And whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely.

[Rom 12:5 KJV] 5 So we, [being] many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.

[1Co 12:12, 18 KJV] 12 For as the body is one, and hath many members, and all the members of that one body, being many, are one body: so also [is] Christ. ... 18 But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him.

Prophetic Word for Body of Christ – 

Nanci , my niece, and I were praying together this morning regarding a women’s prayer group, consisting of 16+ ladies that text each other and support through text messages.  While most have never met each other, a retreat is happening this weekend for this precious group of intercessors to join together and meet for the first time.  Instead of a prayer when it was my turn, the Lord spoke the following (which I feel applies to the world wide body of Christ) so I am sharing it with all who will take the time to prayerfully ponder:

The Lord says:  My Word says that when two or three are gathered in my name, I am among you.  Do you not recall when I said, and they said: Lord, when did we see you hungry, when did we see you thirsty, and when did we give you drink? It is written when you have done it unto the least of these my brethren, you have done it unto me.  You are going to see ME in this body of believers in a different way then you see when you go to Sunday morning when you go to your church, because this is My body, it is collected from all aspects, from all different places – but this is what I see, when I look at my body.  It’s not just this church, it’s not just that church, its not that our fellowship is the best in this corner.  What you are going to see is MY Body – what you are going to see … you are going to see ME, you are going to hear ME, and you are going to hear me in places that you didn’t expect to see.  I am going to show you ME and the parts of this body as you come together, you are going to see ME as the head, and you are going to see the many parts of that body because I am going to show you – ME in this group.  You are going to have revelation, you are going to have discernment, and everyone that is there is getting ready to see what I see when I look at MY body.  You are going to see me move, you are going to feel it, sense it.  When you leave, you are going to know that this is the true body of Christ.  It does not depend upon a church building and a name.  This is the true body that I see when I look upon the earth in the times that you are living in right now.

[Mat 25:31-46 KJV] 31 When the Son of man shall come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the throne of his glory: 32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth [his] sheep from the goats: 33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left. 34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed [thee]? or thirsty, and gave [thee] drink? 38  When saw we thee a stranger, and took [thee] in? or naked, and clothed [thee]? 39  Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done [it] unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done [it] unto me. 41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink: 43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee? 45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me. 46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.
