Dear Friends,
For the past six thousand years the Father has been calling out various persons to have a part in the collective Bride of his Son.
Beginning with Abel many individual persons have been called to a direct personal relationship with, and in espousal to Jesus Christ; to learn of him and his ways and to learn to become LIKE HIM in thoughts and deeds; to change our very nature into HIS nature, so that we will be fit to spend eternity with him in peace' as a cooperative, faithful, loyal Bride; of ONE mind with her Husband.
As any bride is responsible for her part in her relationship with her husband; each called out person, has the personal responsibility of preparing with all their diligence to become a part of the collective bride.
The resurrection to spirit of the bride, is a resurrection to spirit of all of those individuals who have properly prepared themselves for an eternity of marriage as a fit Help Meet to Jesus Christ.
NO modern COG group is the bride of Christ!
The collective bride is made up of individuals called out over the past six thousand years; who have worked diligently to learn and keep the whole word of God, the word of our collective espoused Husband! and to enthusiastically and passionately follow and obey HIM forever!
Jesus tells us in Revelation that the bride has made herself ready. This does NOT mean that some corporate entity has been perfected! It means that all those individuals called over the past six thousand years, and who have overcome worldliness to become of ONE mind and nature with our espoused Husband will be resurrected to become the full bride of Christ as the marriage Feast!
It is up to each one of us to take personal responsibility to make ourselves ready to become a part of the resurrected bride!
If your read our Statement of Purpose you will find that helping people to prepare themselves to become a part of the bride is the foundational purpose of this work.
Of course I cannot prepare anyone, each person must prepare themselves; but I can encourage and help others to become zealous for the whole word of God, to learn and to keep it, to immerse themselves in it, so as to prepare THEMSELVES.
Today I wanted to encourage you with what is actually happening in this work towards helping and encouraging the zealous for the Eternal.
Each month we receive more than 13,000 unique IP visitors to the COG Blog. Some of these IP's represent only one person while many represent whole extended families.
Most of them visit only a few times a month to see what's up, but are fence sitters and fearful yet curious; because the doctrine and prophecy are different than they have been taught.
However there are a few hundred who have been visiting nearly every day, sometimes more than once a day and often for years.
This work is about preparing the called out for the resurrection and marriage of the bride; and part of that is about the coming split between Laodicea, and the pillars to be taken to the place God has prepared.
Make no mistake God's two servants will be coming in power and will announce that the time has come and the faithfully zealous shall remove themselves before Laodicea is corrected in great tribulation; just as they fled Jerusalem to Pella in the first century.
This work is an unfolding process;
1. The warnings and restoration of sound doctrine.
2. Warning of the various events and trials, preparing the way for the setting up of the miracle working abomination, the false prophet.
3. The setting up of the abomination the final miracle working pope and his call for the new Europe while peace and safety are achieved at least on paper.
4. The revealing of God's two servants who will tell the faithful what to do.
Part One of this work, is about warning the Laodicean organizations and people, so that when they are in their time of trouble, they will remember that they were warned, and will be humbled to RUN to the Eternal in sincere repentance.
I have no doubt that the vast majority of the Ekklesia today are Laodicean. I also have no doubt at all that many of these people are sincere in their error like Saul in his day; and that they will do mighty deeds of righteousness in the tribulation, after they are turned back to the Eternal! Just like Paul later did after he was turned to the Eternal!
Part Two of this work, is to encourage and strengthen the pillars as much as possible to prepare them for this coming test of faith to obey God and leave; or to stay as a Laodicean. And to prepare them for the time in the wilderness when they will continue to prepare themselves to become a part of the Chosen Bride!
Several hundred have been studying intensively on a daily basis for more than a year; while many hundreds [perhaps a few thousand others] are going to wake up when they see these things happening.
When they actually see the coming war; which is prophesied in the term of wars and rumors of war! When they actually see the false prophet set up performing miracles! When they actually see the new Europe rising! When they actually see a peace deal made and ratified! When they actually see God's two servants in their power, opening the way for those who are willing to obey and leave! Many who were fence sitting will respond!
That poses a problem!
If they did not take the doctrine and prophecy seriously until the last minute; then they will go into the wilderness not understanding these things and not be ready to be chosen as a part of the bride!
Therein lies the calling and responsibility of many of those who have been studying seriously and learning these things with a wholehearted zeal for a long time.
There are a few hundred, or perhaps a few less or more; who have been diligently studying because they sincerely love the truth of God's word; not realizing that at least some of them are being prepared to lead and teach others in the wilderness!
My dear dear friends, who wholeheartedly love the word of God! God will need good loyal folks in the wilderness who have been well prepared to lead and teach those who respond and take a decision come, only after seeing these scriptural signs, and are not strongly founded on sound doctrine yet.
Some of you are being prepared to teach these others who have not been zealous, but who will awake and believe when these things come to pass.
What! You say that you are old, or ill or weak? God's servants will come in great power; and they can heal as well as destroy! There is no healing today because there is no zeal for God and his word which brings about a lack of faith.
What are the signs of the disciples of Christ?
Mark 16:16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Are these signs present in the COG today? They will be present in God's two servants!
Consider that Jesus taught his twelve and the seventy; and sent them out to teach others.
Over these past few years some have been prepared, perhaps without even realizing it; to teach others and help prepare those who will be in the wilderness!
The Laodiceans who do not respond now, will be humbled by what they have fallen into and will remember, and with the teachings of God's two servants many will begin to turn to the Eternal with a passion and do a powerful personal witnessing of their own!
Brethren, everything is going according to the Master Builder's plan!
Solomon built the temple in other places; a part here and a part there; and then he fit them all together in one place.
Jesus Christ the Master Builder is building a spiritual temple; some here and some there, over six thousand years; and when he comes to get his bride, the spiritual temple; they will all be properly prepared and will fit together perfectly to make a perfect bride and a perfect spiritual temple!
Those who have been diligently preparing themselves over the past years, should redouble their efforts as the time approaches; so that in the wilderness they can help others to prepare also, by encouraging them, setting a godly example and expounding sound doctrine.
