Enjoying Christ in His word

Lord Jesus, we love You as our dear Bridegroom! Amen, Lord, we are Your bride! Amen! For us to be the bride of Christ in reality, we need to have the readiness of the bride, which comes from the maturity in life. Oh, how we need to grow in life unto maturity for the bride of Christ! We really need to grow unto maturity and allow the Lord bring us on with Him, forgetting what is behind and stretchi...

O, Lord Jesus, we love You and we thank You for Your sovereignty in using all things to transform and mature us to be Your bride! Amen! It is amazing to see from the story of Jacob how God sovereignly uses persons, things, and events to empty us of everything that has filled us and also to take away every preoccupation so that we may have an increased capacity to be filled with God! He wants to tr...

Lord Jesus, grow in us unto maturity so that we may have an increased capacity to enjoy God and be filled with God! Amen! God wants us, His people, to grow in life unto maturity, and for this He has come into us as the inner anointing and He also operates around us as the Holy Spirit with His discipline.

How was the church produced to be the bride of Christ? According to Genesis 2 and John 19, the church as the bride, the wife of Christ, was produced by Christ's death and resurrection (typified by Adam's sleep and Eve being built out of his rib by God). Wow, when Christ died on the cross, He shed His blood for our redemption and He released His divine life to produce and build up the churc...

Did you know that Christ died on the cross not only to redeem us but also to produce the church through His redemption and the impartation of His life?

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for...

It is amazing to realise that, just as it was not good for Adam to be alone but he needed Eve as his counterpart, so it is not good for God to be alone - He needs the church as His counterpart! Wow! God is eternally perfect, but He is not complete without His counterpart, the church as His bride. Lord Jesus, we love You! We give ourselves to You! Make us part of Your counterpart, Your bride, to ma...

Suntem în durerile nașterii și ne ostenim să-L administrăm pe Cristos altora până când Cristos este format în ei În Galateni 4:19, Cristos este prezentat ca fiind Cel care este format în credincioși; Cristos este format în noi, căci El vrea să fie exprimat prin noi, iar noi putem coopera cu El prin travaliu, astfel încât Cristos să poată fi format și în alții, administrându-L pe Cristos lor. Amin!...

Have you ever seen the central thought in the Bible! Have you ever seen that God wants to gain His building, which is the bride of Christ?

Have you ever wondered what is the wedding garment which we need to have in order to enter the wedding feast of the Lamb? Without this garment we can't get into the wedding feast, but what is this garment? In Revelation 19 we are told that this is fine linen, bright and clean, the righteousnesses of the saints. This means that we need to live an overcoming life by living out Christ as our subj...

Amen, Lord Jesus, we love and we...

What kind of work do we do for the Lord? What kind of Spirit directs us, guides us, instructs us, and constitutes us?
