An Exhortation To The Bride

It's funny how world events have unfolded before my very eyes. Israel has sealed the pact with the devil by giving in to Hollywood-style soft core porn for its tourism industry, Iceland declared bankruptcy, California is in need of monetary "backups" for its budget (being Federal means that their funding is within the state, and not centralized, like here in the Philippines), the earth is getting depleted of oil the way an emergency case is hemorrhaging from a puncture wound, we are seeing the plummeting of the world's economies, and we still don't get it.

Artists create concerts like Save the Earth, asking for help... From whom?! From the Martians?! From other people?! OTHER PEOPLE CAN'T SAVE YOU! Oil can't save you! MONEY can't save you!!!

And neither does conserving the owls. Or the crocodiles.

Only JESUS can create new OWLS. Only Jesus can bring back the crocodiles and let them be restricted to areas where they won't eat people.

Why can't we get it?! The very PERSON we spurn, JESUS, is the ONLY person who can save us!!!

Oh yeah, so while the world parties on to the one world economy, and people forget to be wary of the RFID chips and the one-world citizenship, I pray that we Philippine Christians will rise up for JESUS and take hold of our destiny as MISSIONARIES WHO WILL GO OUT INTO THE REST OF THE WORLD AND WIN IT FOR JESUS, WITH JESUS, AND BY JESUS!

And if, in the event that we have gone out there and we get missing-in-action, martyred, or, be happy about it, RAPTURED, it's a glorious thing, because GOD will welcome us with a martyr's honor when we reach Heaven.

Gird your swords and shields, kids, now is the time to walk this world with an aching awareness. Awake, sleepers, for your Bridegroom is at the door. Tremble with fear of Him and how He moves, because He comes in His full glory, and it to the world, the BRIDE's walk will be a path of thorns. But to us, the Bride, we will be walking on flowers.

Remember Stephen as he beheld Jesus' glory and took the stones. Remember Peter as he got crucified upside down. To those who have dreams of following God and marching after Him, only JESUS can give you the anesthetic you need.

You won't feel the pain, though it would look painful to most, because Jesus holds you throughout what you will go through. It will be a season of joy, as we battle for our destiny's worth.

Fight with honor worthy of the GOD who called you. These are the days where Biblical truths will be retranslated into our context. These are the days when the apostles will be martyred as Paul, Stephen, Peter, and the rest of them were martyred and persecuted.

Rejoice, because the end-of-days battles are beginning. The Bride is stirring, and the Bridegroom is eager to fight for her as He awaits receiving her.
