I SHALL MAKE FOR MYSELF A BRIDE FROM MY PIERCED SIDE

     Is My name not The Word of God? (‭‭Revelation‬ ‭19:13‬). Then I have this to say. Neglect not My Word. Meditate on it day and night. And for those who neglect not My Word, is it not also written: “BLESSED are those whose ways are blameless, who walk according to the law of the LORD.” (Psalms 129:2)? For is it not My desire to PROSPER you? Am I not a Father who desires the very best for all His own? That you may be complete, lacking nothing (James 1:4)? For is this not the true heart of a father? For is this not the essence and substance for why I have said that BLESSED is he whose DELIGHT is in the law of the LORD, and who MEDITATES on My law day and night. (Psalm 1:2)? For as One who truly sees the end of a matter from the beginning, have I not said, “This Book of the Law shall not depart from your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do according to all that is written in it. FOR THEN you will make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success. (Joshua 1:8)? And is a way that is both prosperous and of good success then not a very good end to a matter? For in this, have I not clearly said, for then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you will have good success? Is this not the chief desire of One who has a heart and a mind to prosper you, not to harm you, a plan to give you both a future and a hope?

 

     And of this golden matter of neglecting not My Word, does My Word not also say, “Come as you are”? For in Isaiah 1:18, do I not offer the invitation to come, though your sins are as scarlet, and I will make them white as snow? Is this not a clear invitation to come as you are? Does this then not reassure you that you need not clean yourself before you come? And if you come as you are, and if I make your sins as white as snow, is this also not a clear declaration that I will make for you your way prosperous? For was My side not pierced for you? And did not water and blood flow FREELY from My side? For have I not given you both the water of My Word and the blood of My covering FREELY? For is it not written, “This is the One who came by water and blood, Jesus Christ; not with the water only, but with the water and with the blood” (1 John 5:6)? For is not the water that pours from My pierced side not the water of the Word that washes as white as snow? Is not the blood that pours from My rent side not the blood that sanctifies and saves? For is it not written, “how much more will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without blemish to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?” (Hebrews 9:14)?

 

     And of this Word that I urge and encourage you to never neglect, is it not written: “Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from THE MOUTH of God.’” (Matthew 4:4))? And is it not also written that of the words THAT I SPEAK, that they are SPIRIT, and they are LIFE? (John 6:63). Am I not the living Word? For is not the water that flows through the rent in my side not the Spirit of My Word? For have I not called all who are thirsty to drink of the water of My Spirit in John 4:14? And does 1 Corinthians 12:13 not call all “to drink of one Spirit”? Which is of Me, the water of life, the bread of life, the breath of life? And is not the blood the life of My Word? For if you neglect not My Word and come as you are, shall My blood not cover your iniquities and therefore give you life? So then, from My pierced side, is it not true that SPIRIT (water) and LIFE (blood) will flow for my Eve? For is it not true that My Father has said of the first Adam that, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make for him a suitable helper.”? (Genesis 2:18). And so too shall the LORD God then not also make for Me, the last Adam, a suitable helper that I too may not be alone? And just like Eve was made from the side that was opened of the first Adam, will not My bride be made from the side of the last Adam that was opened? For will the water of my Word not wash you that you will be made suitable? And will My blood not cleanse you that we shall not be unequally yoked? For is it also not written, “Be not unequally yoked”? (2 Corinthians 6:14).

 

     And does My Word not say if thou shalt knock on the door it shall be opened? (Matthew 7:7). And am I not the door? (John 10:9). And if you knock, shall I not open My pierced side for you? That you may wash yourself with the water of My Word, and may drink of the blood of My abundant life? For did not the first Adam go into a deep sleep so that the Father may pierce his side and from his rib produce for him a bride? And did not the last Adam also go into a deep sleep so that from His side the Father may produce for Him a bride suitable and worthy to marry His Son? For have I not said “Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood remains in Me, and I in him.” (John 6:56). For is it not written: “Christ so loved His church that He gave Himself up for her so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water by the word” (Ephesians 5:26)? For I shall make for Myself a bride from My pierced side. And what are the conditions for being made worthy and suitable? Simply that you come as you are and that you never neglect the Word of God. That you meditate on it day and night. For then, as surely as I have said it, you will surely make your way prosperous, and then you will surely have good success.

 

     Is this not why David was inspired by the Spirit to write, “I rejoice in following your statutes as one rejoices in great riches. I meditate on your precepts and consider your ways. I delight in your decrees; I WILL NOT NEGLECT YOUR WORD. Be good to your servant while I live, that I may obey your word. Open my eyes that I may see wonderful things in your law. I am a stranger on earth; do not hide your commands from me. My soul is consumed with longing for your laws at all times.” (Psalm 119:14–20). For then you shall be found worthy of betrothing yourself unto the King of kings and the Lord of lords. And am I One who marries merely for a season? Or am I not the One who marries for all eternity? And if you are My bride for all eternity, is that then not a way that shall make your way immensely prosperous? And of good success?
