Bride of Holy Fire

 Holy Spirit is preparing the bride through worship, a worship that is deeply rooted in our hearts.  The Spirit is blowing on the smoldering coals within us and producing flames of desire to be with our Eternal Bridegroom.  It is not just knowledge of Him as Savior and what He has done for us, but a deep desire to be with Him.  This worship of the heart speaks His name as we open our eyes from sleep and is our last thought as we drift off to sleep at night.  It is a desire that causes us to search for Him in our everyday experiences.  It prompts us to look for Him in every circumstance.  It is worship that sings throughout our days, in the best and the worst of times.  This depth of worship will bring about the return of the Bridegroom.  Only God the Father knows the hour of His Son’s return and He is waiting for a bride who will be ready for His Son.  A bride who loves Him, desires Him and desires for Him to be her husband.  His bride is dressed in His righteousness and adorned with His holiness.  Worship is our preparation.  As we open our hearts to more of Him the darkness in our lives flees.

Are you ready for the Holy Spirit to awaken your heart?  Has the Spirit blown the wind of passion for Yeshua/Jesus on your smoldering coals and washed you with the Word.   Are you ready to be ruined for the things of this world and be passionately in love with all that God is?  Are you willing to be a bride of Holy Fire?

For those of you who are married your marriage can be lived as worship unto the LORD.   To walk out your days as husband and wife requires the self-sacrifice of both partners.  To live as one is no easy task especially in a culture that is so centered around self and personal fulfillment.  A marriage built with Yeshua as the center is a blessing to God.  It is a representation of God’s love for us.  It is a demonstration of God’s grace as we walk through the ups and downs of life together as a couple and seek the mind of Yeshua together.  As we stand together in the midst of life’s temptations and failures we are a testimony to God’s faithfulness and provision.  It is earthly preparation for God’s eternal marriage of the Yeshua and His bride.

For those of you who have been in a marriage that has failed, understand we live in a sinful world and we as sinners fail a lot in this life.  Israel did not succeed in keeping her vows to the LORD.  She failed over and over.  Her history of failure and reconciliation is throughout the Old Testament.   Remember though, God never gave up on her or the nations of the world.  He pursued Israel, disciplined her and redeemed her.   No matter what has happened in your marriage or a divorce it is how you choose to live out your life that is important.  Will you apprehend the grace of God and move forward in peace, forgiveness and love?  Will you journey with Yeshua as your center and let the Holy Spirit guide you? 

A life that is submitted to the LORD is a testimony to Him in all circumstances.  A life submitted to the LORD is worship.  Yeshua is our perfect Bridegroom and in Him we are complete.  We are encompassed by His flames but we are not consumed.

Elohim The Unbroken

Elohim (Strong's # H-430) is the first name of God that appears in scripture in Genesis 1:1.   In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Elohim is translated as God.    The name Elohim comes from the root, elah or el meaning, “strong or mighty.”   Elohim is associated with the idea of a “strong creator.”    The ancient meaning of El is “one who holds authority over others.”     The ending added to the word elah or el makes this word plural yet it is used with singular verbs and adjectives.    Elohim is plural but used as singular thousands of times in the Old Testament.   When elohim is used in the plural sense it is usually in reference to pagan gods and not referring to the God of Israel.  From a Christian perspective we can see the trinity expressed in this name (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) but the corporate Godhead was also part of the Hebrew understanding from the Tanakh (Old Testament Scr...

Yaveh/Yehovah/LORD

In the Old Testament, in most translations you will notice that the word Lord will appear in all capitals, LORD or with the first letter capitalized and the following letters in lower case, Lord .    The translators have done this to delineate between the two Hebrew words translated as, Lord.   The later is a general title and the other is the personal name of God revealed by God Himself to man.     Yahveh/Yehovah   Strong's #  H- 3068        The Hebrew word for LORD first appears in Genesis, Chapter 2 just before the creation of man.   Prior to that time the name Elohim was used.    In Genesis, Chapter 2 the writer uses the name LORD God or Yahveh Elohim .   Some Christian writers will attribute this change in name to the creation account being pieced together from many sources.   The more traditional Christian and Jewish view is that Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible or Torah and there is...
