Ok so here are somethings I have really been growing in my spirit lately. I always have understood the concept of the Bride and the Bridegroom references in the bible. It has never really clicked in my heart until about a few months back when I went to a womens conference. It wasn't the conference that made it click it was God wooing me to something much much much more than just a regular church mentality. It was simply amazingly wonderful.
I was simple in love for a few days with the lover of my soul. yes it showed in my attitude and everything else. But then I began to fade a little bit and revert back to my old ways. Then I feel like something fell out of the sky and hit me on the head as to say wake you sleepy head its time to prepare for the wedding day is at hand. My soul awoke and I began what I call wooing, pursuing, and longing to see my King.
You see life is not about, all the problems, events, and troubles we are facing. Its not about going to church to get something or to receive kudos for following a commandment. Its about going past the outer courts and into the Holy of Holies. We take for granted what this means.
I have read through again the God chasers book by Tommy Tenny and I have recently found another one of his books called Finding Favor with the King. I was unsure of reading it for I have heard the Story of Ester soooo many times that I was like I am unsure. Well just so ya know this was the only book by Tommy Tenny which I was looking for his other God chasers, but this was the one for this time. I hate reading but when I started reading I became engaged and yearning to read more and more.
It was also about pursing the kings heart and not his palace and so he will favor you as his bride. Which I just finished Completely His and few months back which was also on the Bride and some traditions of the Jewish custom.
In reading this book T. Tenny I find that this book is about the modern church and how Esters life really pursues the fact that the church today has gotten lost in the glory of the palace rather than the glory of the king himself as a lover of our soul. We pursue the glory of the place in the blessings, the fame, the I need God to do something for me. I am sick I NEED to be healed, I Need to Sell a House or Ill face forclosure, etc etc the list is endless, We get lost in the outer courts that we never really ever enter the holy of holies because we have not done the proper perpareing to meet the king. We come and complain about sister Margaret is not doing this or that, or she sat in my chair, or what in the world was she yelling like that, or why did they choose this song, or I dont like, this isnt right, etc etc.. You know what I am talking about because I have done the same exact thing. We literally give off an oder in Gods nostrils and smells so bad that he cant even come in the door. We forget the process and the preparation it takes for our hearts to truly seek him for who is he is not what he can do for me.
Church is about God's agenda not about our agendas and plans, Sorry friends my heart is yearning to seek the gaze of his eyes into mine. I want to be held by the King and listen to his heart speak. See when we are totally intune with his heart our hearts beat as one and what we do is what he would do and there is no need for justification when we truly beat with his heart.
Cloth your self with praise adorn yourself with worship, put on his favorite color, and cry tears and passionate longing from your heart and He will be moved by desire to see his face.
Becoming his bride, once we get this and it truly clicks, the rest of everything else fades, yes life storms around us and things happen, but gazing on his face will guide us to the right place, The wedding supper of the lamb.
