being made ready

Yes, it hurts. No, its’ not always pretty. This being made ready.

Yes, it burns. No, its’ definitely accomplishing something good. Being made ready.

Yes, there’s more. No, we’re not nearly done yet. Still being made ready.

Yes, brokenness runs deep. No, His love must run deeper. In order to be made ready.

Yes, its’ time for judgment to begin in the house of God. No, not yet the world. We’re not ready.

Yes, the veil has been torn. No, not only that veil - the one over the darkness in our hearts. Ready?

Yes, it is wisdom to fall on the Rock. No, don’t think you don’t have to go there. All must be ready.

Yes, its’ easier not to get our hands dirty. No, we can’t avoid it forever. We must make ourselves ready.

Yes, the stumbling blocks are being removed. No, we don’t know all the details. But He’s quite ready.

Yes, gather to stand and hear the voice of the Bridegroom. No, not just them. Altogether already.

Yes, He is returning soon. No, much sooner than that. And His prayer is that He’d find us ready.

Yes, ready or not, here He comes. No, not halfway - all the way down. And so must we - to be ready.

(Rev. 19:7 - “Let us be glad and rejoice…for the Bride has made herself ready.”)

let us never forget

We are the church of light.

We are the church of the firstborn from the dead.

We are the church of the resurrection unto eternal life.

We are the church of Jesus Christ.

We are the nation born from above.

We are the nation of priests who minister life.

We are the nation that will transcend to another age.

We are the nation of Jesus Christ.

We are the people born of undying love.

We are the people deeply connected to love Incarnate.

We are the people connected by communion.

We are the people of Jesus Christ.

We are the body that is whole yet broken for love.

We are the body who walks not by the Spirit of this age.

We are the body that stands firm amidst the onslaught.

We are the body of Jesus Christ.

right now is the right time

Right now is the right time. Do you want to see?

Right now is the right time. Do you want to hear?

It’s for you. It’s for me. The door is opening, and the light is shining through.

It’s the entrance of light. It’s the entrance of His Word.

It’s the entrance of His Word that brings light.

The light that brings understanding. The light that brings insight. It’s for you. It’s for me.

Right now is the right time. Woe - for many are turned aside.

Right now is the right time. Whoa - turn aside! Behold a bush, aflame of fire but not consumed.

I want to get down low, crawl close to the cracked door that is opening.

I want to get down low, cover my ears to what others are turned aside to and listen to the Word.

Tenderly calling. A voice - I can hear through the opening door. Who will come? Who will listen?

Gently whispering. A voice - I can hear through the light and flame. Who will understand the strategy?

Come up here, come up now, my beloved, and I will show you what must take place after this.

For now is the right time. Am I listening?

For now is the right time. To whom or what am I turned aside?

Blessed is the man who meditates on this Word, this light, in the day, and in the night.

(Psalm 119:130; Revelation 4:1; Psalm 1:1; Daniel 2:21)
