Welcome to the Bridal Journal
This page is dedicated to sharing my thoughts regarding being a part of the Bride of Christ. The Bride and the Church are not synonomous terms. Throughout this blog, I will be sharing more on this controversial matter,but for now, just a few introductory comments.

Everyone who becomes a member of the church of our Lord Jesus Christ by experiencing the "new birth" then has the option of making choices that will qualify him/her to be a part of the glorious Bride of Christ, the Lamb's Wife, who will rule and reign with Him through all of eternity.

It would be wonderful if attending Women's Retreats where on the final night, everyone wears their wedding gown, was a "pre-requisite" for this rather "exclusive" (but without the spirit of "elitism") club. It would also be wonderful if being part of the present "Intimacy" movement could qualify us. Truthfully, these things won't be a hindrance, but neither are they part of God's Bridal Training School.

In a nutshell, what qualifies you to be part of the bride of Christ is bringing your soul (mind, will and emotions) under the Lordship of Jesus Christ, and the rule of the Spirit of God. Coming into a walk of perfect obedience in the soul realm is what qualifies you to be a part of the Bride of Christ, and articles and blogs on this website will bring scripture to bear upon this subject matter.

God's dealings in your life to qualify you to be a mature son of God has to do with your spirit. The spirit is masculine.

God's dealings in your life to qualify you to be a part of
His Bride, has to do with your soul. The soul is feminine.

I believe if there is a reason for God "delaying His coming" at all, it's because with longsuffering and patience, He is waiting for His Bride to make herself ready.

A "technical note". I may disable comments until there is more developed content here on this page, as I don't want to use time debating issues when I wish to present here the truth I believe God is making real to me at this time regarding His Bride.

This blog will produce scriptural evidence for what I have shared in this introductory post, and I trust the Lord will lead you back here, and that you'll be encouraged in your pursuit of Him who calls you Himself.
