A Word for the Body of Christ

Disclaimer: I do not claim to be a prophet or even prophetic.

I believe that God has words for the church.

Awake my love. I believe that God is trying to awaken the church. Song of Solomon 2:10-14 " My lover spoke and said to me, "Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, and come with me. 11 See! The winter is past; the rains are over and gone. 12 Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land. 13 The fig tree forms its early fruit; the blossoming vines spread their fragrance. Arise, come, my darling; my beautiful one, come with me."

It's time to prepare in two ways. #1 Prepare for the return of the bridegroom, Jesus Christ. The time of His return is getting closer. Just as John the Baptist went before Christ, the church must prepare the world for the return of Jesus Christ. #2 It's time for the Bride to make herself ready. Jesus is returning for a bride without spot or wrinkle.

There is a shifting in the spirit, a shifting in the atmosphere. A change in worship. A renewing of singing of lovesongs to our Lord, Saviour and Bridegroom. This comes from the secret place, the intimacy between the church and Jesus. New songs of declaration as the church learns to take her rightful place. As she learns to move in the authority Jesus gave to her. As we, the church, rise up and seek for righteousness and justice, new declarations will be spoken and sung. The mouth of the church will speak forth into being what God desires to be done on the earth.
Awake! Awake! Rise up, o church! Rise up Bride of Christ! Brush off the dust, wipe the slumber from your eyes.

I see the body of Christ sitting up, stretching and preparing for the battle that is ahead.
