The Time of Love

By Rev. Lonnie C. Crowe

In these days, God is revealing in great depth “the Spirit of the Bride” to His Church. Indeed, now her time is “The Time of Love” (Ezekiel.16:8). God is calling the Bride of Christ to make herself ready as she awaits the return of her Bridegroom (Revelation 19:7). His desire is for her to come into the depth and full significance of His love and to reveal that love in our daily lives.  God wants to see His people healed and delivered, and able to walk in the fullness of who they were created by their Heavenly Father to be. He desires maturity in the Church.  The Father’s heart yearns to see us living our lives out of a place of purpose, divine fullness, abundance and faith.

 

Father God is raising up mature Sons of God in this hour who are willing to be carriers of His marvelous light, who exist to carry on the ministry of Jesus Christ and further advance His kingdom by undoing all works of darkness.

Christ Jesus is coming back for a glorious Bride, without spot or wrinkle, a people that hear His voice and walk in the unity of the faith and the knowledge of the Son of God.

Mature Christians are called to encourage, equip and activate the Body of Christ in our gifting, calling and destiny. God desires for us to know Him more intimately and to make Him known to a lost and dying world.

 Walking in the joy and peace of the Lord in spite of the circumstances in our lives is a powerful testimony to a confused and seeking world. Because joy and peace are fruit of the Spirit, they are part of our spiritual DNA.  They are developed in our lives when we understand our identity in the Lord and accept the truth that we are radically loved by our Creator.  Just as nothing can separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus, nothing can separate us from the joy and peace that spring forth from that love.  When we receive that into our lives, we can move into ministry that will change the lives of others.
