Journal Entry: February 19, 2007
Abba, this idea, this model, this living, breathing organism, this bride, this body; made up of many human bodies, Your Church is truly a beautiful living, breathing being…
Through your Spirit she has endured persecutions both from insiders and outsiders; she has endured splits, division-schisms and been brought to life through revival; she survives and out lives doctrinal differences; perverts and perversions; she survives and thrives in spite of my own personal wickedness; in spite of the self-righteous, legalistic Pharisees.
How? How? How?
She has a supernatural Father; and Bridegroom, Jesus. She is powered by the very power that creates something from NOTHING, and breaths life into that which was once dead! God-the Holy Spirit!
She cannot be destroyed; she cannot be contained; she cannot be maintained. She is living and breathing. Your church, body, bride has and will endure all treachery. She thrives in what seems like death to man; she continues through the ages, no man can stop her, nor can any power!
She is the Church Powered by God Almighty!
She is beautiful, majestic, and mysterious…
She is gentle, kind, patient and loving…
She is a refuge, a place of rest and safety…
She is a place where the lost and the broken find redemption, resurrection and new life…
She is strong, powerful and advancing…
She is the Bride of Christ, the Church of God, a hospital to the sick, a family to the lonely, She trains up and sends out… She is Your Church…
May you fall in love with the one... The Father... He who prepares the beautiful Bride for her Bridegroom.
May you become a lover of His Son...
