There was this one time in Dallas Texas, in a meeting when I saw in the Spirit and with my own eyes that victory over the earth is a reality for the Bride of Christ. I remember in that meeting crying over the beauty and power in the Bride. I had for years trusted in the Lord, but on that day I saw so much of the glory, wonder, power of God in the Bride, that I knew the world could not stand before her. I saw this wonder on the earth as the people there entered into that place of one heart, one mind and one voice to the Lord. It was not that everyone there was saying or doing all the same thing, it was that everyone (or so it seemed) was in Christ.
I am writing this from the International House of Prayer, prayer room in Kansas City MO. Last night in the Encounter God meeting I saw, once again, the beauty of the Lord in the Bride that makes her beyond the control of this world. Even as our Lord has taught us, we can live holy, loving, free lives.
Last night, as the evening progressed, there were invitations to pray for the needs of others. Times of prayer were given to pray for those with cancer, in need of healing or a number of other issues. People climbed over chairs to lovingly and fearlessly pray for others. As I watched my heart was stirred as in this community there seem to be no fear. It seemed as if they lived in the reality that nothing was to difficult for God. Beyond that inner resolve of faith they also seemed to delight in the asking, seeking and crying out.
It was like entering a room filled with people so in love with God, so real in living and loving Him authentically, that they were just an extension of the nature and love of God on the earth. Hundreds and hundreds of happy, loving and smiling faces seeking to be fully living in the embrace of God. It is happening here – hopefully too in Peoria IL, Homestead FL, or Rapid City SD. May that holy splendor of Christ fill the Bride and fill our earth.
Like Simeon in the Gospel of Luke who was able to see the Lord’s Christ as a Baby, I too trust that we will see the maturity of our Lord’s Bride in infancy.
