THE BRIDE NEEDS TO READY HERSELF NOW! – Elizabeth Marie

On 10/7/24, I had a dream vision that was very beautiful, and symbolically very prophetic!  In this dream, I saw the back of my mother, standing at the kitchen sink, scrubbing, and cleaning, ferociously!

I then noticed the kitchen that she was in…..and it looked HEAVENLY…..almost ‘out of this world’ different!  It was so BRILLIANT WHITE and SHINY!!  It was radiant with BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT pouring forth!  The floors….the ceiling….the walls….the countertops…the appliances….and the cabinets…. were all made of some kind of material that I had never seen before. I can only describe it as a porcelain/marble type of material.  The ‘LIGHT’ emanating from the room was almost blinding!

Then I woke up!

INTERPRETATION: When I woke up, I really didn’t understand the meaning…..though I knew that I was definitely prophetic in some way.  After asking the HOLY SPIRIT, I was amazed what HE showed me!

MY MOTHER:

In the WORD, the church is represented as a WOMAN.  Therefore, my ‘mother,’ represented a nourishing part of the Church, that takes care of the people, which is SHOULD be the job of the pastor….to be a ‘shepherd’ to the sheep!

They are to help keep the church CLEAN from sin, heresies, and deceptions—as well as to help the brethren learn how to WATCH for HIS COMING, while becoming BLAMELESS and SPOTLESS!

“Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.

“…..that you keep this commandment without SPOT, BLAMELESS until our Lord Jesus Christ’s appearing” 1 Timothy 6:12;14

“Therefore, beloved, looking forward to these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, without SPOT and BLAMELESS” 2 Peter 3:14

KITCHEN:

The kitchen is where FOOD IS PREPARED.  The SPIRITUAL FOOD that keeps us nourished is the WORD OF GOD.  In this dream, the PURE WHITE kitchen represented WORD OF GOD, in its PUREST FORM…..without any distortions, misinterpretations, or false doctrines.  It is a BRILLIANT LIGHT that is a LAMP unto our feet!!

“Your word is a LAMP to my feet
And a LIGHT to my path.” Psalms 119:105

 BRILLIANT WHITE:

This is where it gets interesting!  WHITE in Scripture stands for PURITY, LIGHT, RIGHTEOUSNESS, and HOLINESS.  In the Book of Revelation, we see that WHITE is a HEAVENLY COLOR that exists in the KINGDOM OF GOD:

• JESUS’S WHITE HAIR (Revelation 1:14)
• A WHITE STONE (Revelation 2:17)
• A WHITE THRONE (Revelation 20:11)
• JESUS’S WHITE HORSE (Revelation 19:11)
• WHITE CLOUDS (Revelation 14:14)

However, I believe that most significant color of WHITE applies to the GARMENTS OF THE SAINTS! In many places in the Bible, especially in the Book of Revelation, it mentions how the SAINTS are wearing WHITE GARMENTS:

“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.”And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” Revelation 19:7-8

“After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white robes, with palm branches in their hands” Revelation 7:9

WHITE GARMENTS:

So, how did the saints get their WHITE GARMENTS that are mentioned in the Book of Revelation? In Revelation 7:14, it says that they are made WHITE with the BLOOD OF THE LAMB:

“And I said to him, “Sir, you know.” So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.”

These are the garments that JESUS gives HIS saints who live for JESUS, and walk in HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS, proclaiming the BLOOD OF JESUS—-which overcomes satan!

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.” Revelation 12:11

I love the verse where JESUS compares our clothing (garments) to the LILIES OF THE FIELD:

“So why do you worry about clothing? Consider the LILIES OF THE FIELD, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin;” Matthew 6:28

SUMMARY:

Putting this all together, I believe that this dream-vision represents the BRIDE, (the remnant church), needs to be cleaning herself up—by scrubbing, and diligently preparing herself for the return of CHRIST.

We are the ones that NEED TO GET READY FOR HIS COMING…..and not be caught asleep, like the 5 unwise virgins from Matthew 25.

Notice that the verse below says that the WIFE makes HERSELF READY—and then she was granted ‘clean and bright’ linen!!!

“Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and HIS WIFE HAS MADE HERSELF READY.“And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.” Revelation 19:7-8

These ‘garments’ represent what we do here on earth for the LORD…..our RIGHTEOUS ACTS!

Once HE comes, HE will adorn us in the most beautiful WHITE GARMENTS, that will shine like the light!  What we do here on earth matters…..everything little thing! Therefore, it is imperative, as children of the MOST HIGH, that we serve HIM, according to the WORD of GOD, to the best of our abilities, and with the gifts that we have been given by the HOLY SPIRIT!

TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS:

The other way that we get prepared, for HIS COMING, is through the trials, and tribulations that the LORD allows us to go through.  This is a REFINING PROCESS, that prunes, disciplines, and corrects us, so that we are not living for ourselves anymore, but solely for HIM.  This is a painful process, but necessary, if we are going to learn to become more PURE and HOLY, so that we can receive our white garments:

“I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and WHITE GARMENTS, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see.”Revelation 3:8

“You have a few names even in Sardis who have not defiled their garments; and they shall walk with Me in white, for they are worthy. “He who overcomes shall be CLOTHED IN WHITE GARMENTS, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life; but I will confess his name before My Father and before His angels.” Revelation 3:4

“In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while, if need be, you have been grieved by various trials, that the genuineness of your faith, being much more precious than gold that perishes, though it is tested by fire, may be found to praise, honor, and glory at the revelation of Jesus Christ 1 Peter 1:6-7

’My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” James 1:2-4

This is a PROCESS in our journey with the LORD. If we are willing receive this correction, and not turn away in anger, bitterness, resentment or frustration….then, we will receive the CROWN OF LIFE!

“Blessed is the man who endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he will receive the CROWN OF LIFE which the Lord has promised to those who love Him.” James 1:12

“Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the CROWN OF LIFE. Revelation 2:10

MORE WAYS ON HOW WE CAN READY OURSELVES AND BE PREPARED FOR JESUS’S COMING (the righteous acts of the saints!)

Let us first remember that we are SAVED BY GRACE, and not by the works that we do! However, we are still called to HOLINESS, and GOOD WORKS…. to advance the KINGDOM OF GOD, and to spread the message of the GOOD NEWS of CHRIST’s salvation!

We can get ready by:

1) Put on the garments of righteousness and truth

2) Study the WORD

3) Depending on the LORD, and on not others

4) Confessing your sins daily & repent (turn from your sin)

5) Seeking peace and holiness

6) Focusing on JESUS, and not the ‘things’ of the world

7) Watching what you say (control your tongue)

8) Walking in love

9) Pouring out your ‘love of JESUS’ on others

10) Keeping ‘oil’ (HOLY SPIRIT) in your ‘’lamp’

11) Not becoming complacent, and lukewarm. Don’t become ‘entitled!’

12) Praying, fasting, studying the WORD of GOD

13) Having a SERVANT’s HEART, by serving, and helping others

JESUS IS COMING SOON!!!

HE is looking for HIS BRIDE to be ‘READY’ and ‘EXPECTANT’ OF HIS SOON ARRIVAL! BE READY TO ENTER THE SUPPER OF THE LAMB:

“Then he said to me, “Write: ‘Blessed are those who are called to the MARRIAGE SUPPER OF THE LAMB!‘ ” And he said to me, “These are the true sayings of God.”Revelation 19:19
