THE ETERNAL PURPOSE OF GOD - TIME OUT MINISTRIES

A few years ago I had a conversation with the heavenly Father which was
so real that I did not question the reality of it. It was a coversation that
was to have profound implications and one that was to change the emphasis of
my ministry from that moment on.

I was reflecting on the oddity of God in choosing the Jews from all other
nations as His chosen people…As the saying goes....'How odd of God to
choose the Jews’.  I realise of course that God did not chose the Jews
from all the nations that already existed but created or formed them from the
seed of Abraham.

I asked Him that question and He responded by asking me the same question
myself.

I replied by given the answer I had gleaned from university, the Christian
books I had read and sermons I had heard.

“Because You are a God of love. Love has to be expressed and so must
have an object for its love. There has to be both a Lover and a Beloved. You
needed to create the Jews as your people so that you could lavish your love
upon them.” His response was devastating!
“How dare you! ……I
need nothing! The relationship of love between Myself, My Son and the Holy
Spirit is perfect. We need nothing else. We are complete! No! Nothing I do is
out of need but is out of GRACE!

There are three things that have always been at the centre of My eternal
purpose.

Firstly, I have always wanted to live with my creation. I have always
wanted a home, a home on planet earth.

Secondly, I have always desired a family. In fact I created the Jews so
that they and the adopted Gentiles whom I call, would be formed into a
family, my family. I have always wanted a family who would love Me and whom I
could love and express that love so very deeply.

Then, thirdly and most importantly, out of this company of people of every
tribe and every race, My son the second Adam, would birth a Church, which
would be His Body on earth. And I, the Eternal Father, would bring forth a
woman, a second Eve, out of His rib when on the cross that spear pierced His
side.

This would be My greatest gift of all. It has always been my desire to
give a love gift of a Bride to My Son. She is the ultimate purpose of all my
creation. In that sense She is the central theme of all scripture and the
culmination of all natural history”

Yes my friends, WE ARE THAT CORPORATE BRIDE and He the Lord Jesus, is our
Bridegroom King.

Let us love Him, adore Him, wait for Him and prepare ourselves to be
worthy of Him at His coming.

Come Lord Jesus. Come!
