The Bride of Christ - WHAT ARE WE DOING?

One evening (5 April 2017), I was standing in my kitchen making tuna salad. While doing that I was praying and worshiping the Lord. I prayed for the Holy Spirit to speak to me and while I was praying I saw the following:

A bride was getting ready for her groom. She was doing her best to look and be her best for the groom. I saw all the time that was put in to prepare for this moment, the moment the bride will meet her groom and she will be ready.
And then the words: WHAT ARE THE BRIDE OF CHRIST DOING?

The Holy Spirit then reminded me of the verse about the 10 virgins with oil lamps (Matt 25).
5 were wise and made the necessary preparations by taking extra oil, the other 5 were foolish. When the time came that the Groom was coming, the 5 foolish girls did not have enough oil in their lamps and had to go back to get more. While they were gone, the Groom came and the 5 girls who had prepared and had the extra oil went with the Groom into the marriage fest and the doors were shut.

The oil in the lamps were used to make light. Jesus is the WAY, the TRUTH and the LIGHT.
To me, the OIL symbolizes the Holy Spirit but do we have His Light, His Holy Spirit in us?
We are the BRIDE OF CHRIST.... Are we preparing and getting ready for the day that our Groom is coming? Or are we waiting until it's too late? Are we going to wait until the end to see if someone else might share some oil (light - Holy Spirit) with us?

As the BRIDE OF CHRIST we should be preparing ourselves for the Groom and the marriage feast and we shouldn't wait to start preparations. We don't know when our Groom is coming. Start your preparations and get ready for your Groom.

ARE YOU READY?

Prayer Walk through your Home

Image
This morning I got up and started praying in our bedroom, (I usually start praying here the moment I wake up as I like to start my day with Jesus) and as I was praying I remembered something I saw on Pinterest - a Prayer walk through your Home. When I saw this post a few days back, I scanned through the content and then I just kinda forgot about it again... until this morning. I became quiet and thought about what I can specifically pray for in our bedroom. I asked the Holy Spirit to come over me and give me the words so I can pray in and through the Spirit. I prayed for many things as I did the Prayer Walk through our home and I would like to share some of those things with you... So, as I mentioned, I started in the... Bedroom Here I prayed for: Peaceful Nights Rest for our bodies and minds To be protected as we unwind Dreams where our Lord speaks to us Spiritual Growth Blessing in our marriage As my husband and I showcase our love towards eachother, that we wil...

We serve a God of Healing and Miracles

Image
I haven't posted since May 2014 but I felt that I needed to share this. It has been a tough week for me and my family. But we are all keeping our heads high because we serve an awesome God. Here is the story: On 19 November 2015, my Grandfather had a heart attack in the early morning hours. He was taken to the hospital where they treated him and later transferred him to the Medi-Clinic Heart Hospital in Pretoria where they performed an angiogram to determine what is going on with my grandfather’s heart. The result was this: The double coronary artery bypass graft the Doctors performed in February 2015, have disappeared. The doctors cannot explain this at all because “there is no way it can just disappear, also, one of his other arteries started flowing again...” HALLELUJAH! PRAISE THE LORD for the miracle of healing! I firmly believe it is the hand of God because He has a different plan. I visited him that same evening and prayed for healing in his body and for t...

"Patient Fruit" - Take a bite

Image
“Patience is power. Patience is not an absence of action; rather it is "timing" it waits on the right time to act, for the right principles and in the right way.” ― Fulton J. Sheen Patience - it is a gift that allows you to accept or tolerate problems without becoming irritated or angry. Patience is also a fruit... Mmmm fruit is not usually the first thing to come to mind when we think of patience but I like the idea of thinking patience as a fruit. The fruit can either be bitter or so very sweet depending on how much you have - the more "patient fruit" the better. Have you ever felt that growling pain on your tummy when you are hungry? Some people get very irritated or whiny when they are hungry but if you have something to eat for example - fruit - the chances of becoming irritated are decreased. Psalm 37:7-9 (NIV) 7 Be still before the Lord and wait patiently for him; do not fret when people succeed in their ways, when they ca...
