Preparing the Bride by James A. Cousineau Pdf

Jesus promised He would come again to take us to be with Him to a place He has prepared for us, and scripture states it is an incredible place and life He has for us, beyond our comprehension. We can begin to experience this abundant life and walk in these Kingdom blessings here and now. As we allow the Holy Spirit to work in us, to lead, convict, teach and empower us to live for Christ we will be prepared for His coming. The real question is not when is He coming, but who is He coming for and will I be among those He receives to Himself? Concerning these end times and His coming, Jesus said though we wouldnt know the exact hour or day, but that we are to be looking for the signs of His coming to watch, pray and be ready for Him to come at any moment. As we watch, pray, and then do whatever He asks us to do, we will be ready for His coming or our going to be with Him, whichever comes first. The Bride has made herself ready! He is coming to take a prepared people to a prepared place, so what does it mean to be ready? In light of the possible imminent return of Jesus, what manner of persons ought we to be/how would we want to be found by Him? What sort of Bride does Jesus desire/deserve and will He accept? Who is He soon coming for? A Passionate Bride not cold or lukewarm but deeply in love with and devoted to Him; one looking and longing for His coming, preparing for His arrival, and desiring only to spend every minute in His presence. It is the essence and key to everything we are and do for the Lord. Everything comes down to loving God and others.

From the Heart of God by Margaret Robinson Pdf

“From the Heart of God” is a book that parallels the events that surrounds the preparation of a natural bride, with the spiritual events that affect the “Bride of Christ”, the church. The book starts off with the proposal for the natural bride to be and parallels it with the proposal as it relates to a member of the Body of Christ, the local body, and the corporate body. In a world where the sacredness of marriage is minimized, this book reminds the reader of how the natural union of a husband and wife is symbolic of the spiritual union of the Body of Christ with the Bridegroom (Christ). This book is a wake-up call to the Body of Christ in particular, and to the world in general. It is intended to remind the Bride-of- Christ to prepare for the Bridegrooms return.

Beyond Da Vinci by John Ingram Pdf

The History of mankind is very cyclical. How often has it been said, "history repeats itself." Since time immemorial a repetitive theme in the human drama is Gnosticism, a teaching that special hidden knowledge leads to spiritual enlightenment. Gnostic myths have also focused on the sexual union of gods or goddesses with humans. The recent furor over the fictional novel and movie, The Da Vinci Code, has once again challenged the authenticity of the Christian Gospel, and brought new focus on Gnostic myths. Readers and movie-goers are encouraged to accept the dubious writings of "lost gospels" and reject the canonical teachings of the Bible. In those 2nd and 3rd century sources, the real Jesus who interacted with leaders, cared for the weak and sick, even loving the dregs of society, is exchanged for a strange creature that only appears to be human and bears no likeness to the Jewish man who died on a cruel Roman Cross. Beyond Da Vinci presents the real Jesus through the rich nuptial imagery of the Old and New Testaments. The reader meets the true Bride of Christ and learns of the incredible consummation of Bride and Bridegroom that is yet to come. Are there false Brides? Was Jesus of Nazareth married? Was he just a man or was he divine? Come partake of this incredible journey through the greatest romance of history; a journey to the truth.

Unveiling the Mystery of the Bride of Christ clears up the mystery of the bride by leading you on a journey through the scriptures, showing without a shadow of a doubt who the bride is and what her preparation is all about.

This special group is the bride of Christ, and understanding the mystery of the bride will captivate and motivate believers into achieving their destinies as ordained by Creator God. In this book, you will discover: The plan of God for mankind Why you were born for such a time as this What role the Bride will play What makes the Bride special What is covenant relationship Who are the jewels of God Why God must send Elijah in these last days What Torah is all about Why obedience is so important How the love of God is perfected in the believer The meaning of firstfruits What the key of David is all about The true meaning of the parable of the 10 virgins

A Bride Made Ready by Mollie Brown Pdf

Many books have been written concerning the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ. Theologians debate whether His return will occur pre, mid, or post tribulation, but is it as important to discern when He will return as it is to be ready when He does? New Testament scriptures ascribe Jesus as the Bridegroom and Church age believers as His bride. The bride is eagerly awaiting her Bridegroom to carry her away from this present age of evil, but God’s Word tells us this will not happen until the bride is made ready. The Bible teaches three characterizations of the true bride of Jesus Christ. The true bride has left the world behind to become a follower of Jesus. The true bride places God first before self and others. The true bride lives a holy life and waits expectantly for her Bridegroom’s return. Jesus taught perilous times would come, and apostacy (abandonment of faith) would precede His return. It is God’s will that all men come to a saving knowledge of His Son, but scripture tells us this will not happen. Only those who have persevered in faith and look to the completion of their salvation will escape the future events of the great tribulation. Come, journey with me into ancient history to examine the rituals of ancient Jewish marriage customs and their prophetic meaning to the Lord Jesus and His second coming. God has given us His Word so we not only know who He is, but know who we are.

Perfect Love Casts Out All Fear by Victor S. Torres Pdf

Fear is a killer in our society. It maims, destroys, and shows no mercy to its victims. Like a hurricane that can’t be stopped, a towering inferno that can’t be quenched, and a deadly plague that kills at an alarming rate, it leaves you helpless, hopeless and crying for mercy. Fear forces you to hide behind negative coping mechanisms, imaginary walls and powerful mind-games that steal your health, wealth and emotional freedom. To survive, you make a pact with them to weather life’s horrifying storms. But when you choose to face the pain from your past with honesty, courage and faith, you experience emotional healing, enter into the Promised Land of peace and rest and taste revival rather than survival. You are not destined to merely exist in a desert wasteland and emotional graveyard all of your life. You were created to live in a paradise that embraces abundant living, peace and joy. Once you learn how powerful love is, you’ll learn to thrive and realize you’ll never have any reason to dwell in a prison of fear again because it is your mission to slay fear and embrace pure love in your relationships. The Promised Land today can be found in a pure heart and it awaits you if you choose to die to your fears and dare to love with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. I encourage you to choose the way of love, not fear, because perfect love casts out all fear! You have a rendezvous with your divine destiny and it’s waiting for you here within the pages of your life that follow. I commission you now to go after your emotional freedom, my friend, and do not allow anyone or anything to stop you. Enjoy the journey!
