A CALL TO HOLINESS PART 6

THE INVITE

LEAVING THE OLD BEHIND TO BE A PURE BRIDE

YAHWEH wants a bride that is willing to leave the place of “the old”. He is preparing a bride for His Son that will leave everything behind to give themselves to the Bridegroom and to live in His Kingdom.

Abraham wanted a bride for Isaac from his country, even from his own family, because YAHWEH wanted his bloodline to be pure. If Isaac took a wife from the Canaanites, he would have defiled the bloodline.

Rebekah was a pure, humble woman who was a virgin, who kept herself pure and who walked after YAHWEH’s ways. YAHWEH looked upon her and saw that she was worthy to be Isaac’s wife. We need to be like Rebekah. She was pure and she had a pure bloodline. YAHWEH will take a bride for His Son who has His blood, a bride that walks in His image. YAHWEH needs His children’s blood to be pure so that they can be called a “Pure Bride”. YAHWEH want His people to come before Him in repentance so that He can purify their blood in order for them to be righteous in all their ways, like Rebekah. Because of her pure blood, she is not defiled by the sins of her generations.

WHO IS THE REMNANT?

YAHWEH is looking for the remnant who is willing to let go of themselves, their selfish ambition, their own desires, plans, idols, thoughts, mindsets, and way of life. He is looking for those who will follow Him to where He will lead them. He wants to teach us to operate in His Fountain of Understanding and not in the land of “self” where you are your own gods. He is looking for those like Rebekah that will draw near to Him like she drew water for the servant.

Rebekah was Chosen and so are you!

She forgot about her own water, she laid aside herself to serve the man out of pure humility. She did not know that his intentions were to take her to another land to marry Isaac, the son of the man who was promised that nations will be born of his seed.

ARE YOU A LOVE SLAVE?

When a slave was free to go after 6 years of working for his master and if he did not want to go, because he loved his master, then the master and the slave would go and stand in the door and his ear would be pierced (blood was spilled). This action declared that he was now a “love slave” by choice and not by force.

YAHWEH wants us to be like a love slave that enters into a covenant with Him, willingly and declares that we love Him and that we will stay committed and faithful to Him. YAHWEH need people to grow in character and fruitfulness and not just to operate in gifts that He give, not just to claim to get everything they want.

There are not many love slaves who choose to obey YAHWEH with a pure heart. There are not many walking a love walk of intimacy with YAHWEH, where they allow themselves and the flesh to be pierced by His words and His ways.

While I was writing this, I heard Yahweh’s heart:

YOUR INVITE

“I AM a Sovereign Elohim, always standing with arms wide open wanting to embrace you. My desire for you is that you may want that with every fibre of your being, to love Me and obey Me at any cost because that is what someone does that is in love. They lay down their lives for each other.

I will not force you, you are free, but you will receive according to the choices you make. I want you to choose, to be a *love slave for Me*, purely because you know Me and you love Who I AM.

I want your ears to be *pierced through My words*, I want you to listen because a walk with Me starts with listening, because listening runs into hearing and hearing turns into faith. Faith turns into a walk with steps of obedience and those steps of obedience lead to abundant life and blessings. You will have to be a love slave to walk this journey with Me daily. Are you willing to be pierced for the sake of love?”

LEAVE THE OLD WAYS BEHIND

You are also called like Rebekah; you are called to be the bride of the Bridegroom who is called the Prince of peace. You also have an uncomfortable journey ahead of you to get to your Bridegroom where you will meet Him at the marriage feast.

Always remember YAHWEH is more interested in your character than your comfort, YAHWEH is more interested in making your life holy through walking in His ways than in making your life happy. All things considered; you are going to have to leave the old ways behind. You will have to embark on this uncomfortable journey with the Holy Spirit. It will be a desert journey and you will be humbled on your journey to the marriage feast, but YAHWEH want you to do one thing like Rebekah did: He wants you to think about your Bridegroom; He wants you to focus on your Bridegroom because this will take you through and bring you to the place YAHWEH leads you ….to this prepared and promised place.

You will not be able to tell YAHWEH that you will go if you do not put your entire focus on Him. If you live for yourself, you will hinder YAHWEH from preparing you and you will stay behind when YAHWEH gather the bride to meet the Bridegroom. If you delay through not committing yourself through a covenant relationship, you may be late, and you might miss the marriage feast.

“My bride, I said you are worthy to be Mine, now tell Me because I AM waiting for you…. Will you go or will you stay?”
