Humbled for Service
Psalm 136: 1 [1] Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever.
I give thanks to the Lord, YHWH the God of Heaven and Earth. For in deed He is good and His mercies endure forever!
This morning Saturday 28th March 2020, the Lord has blessed me with a dream or a vision that lasted only lasted a few seconds. A very profound dream that I wish to share with all the body of believers in Christ because it is serious in its implications. And I believe the Lord is really helping us to prepare for His coming and for the Marriage Supper.
This is what I saw in a flash:
As I was sleeping, a white dress appeared in front of me. The garment was a white frock, not brilliant white, but nonetheless it was white. The dress had creases running from top to the bottom. I am not sure whether this was by design or because of neglect, meaning it had not hot pressed. That is how I saw it. It had wrinkles running down from the top of it to the bottom.
I saw the dress from the back side and not the front. It was short, I could tell from its length. Perhaps when worn, it only went a little below the knees. It was sawn to be tight fitting and to follow the contour of the body of the wearer. The dress was finished with an open neck design exposing the entire neck and a little bit of the back. Also, it was finished at the shoulders so that there were no arms to the dress. The dress also was for a bigger lady, and rather not a small sized person. That is just how I saw the dress (I mean no offense because of this detail).
By special knowing, the Lord made me see that there were many accessories missing to this wedding attire, that is, apart from the fact that it was short and inadequate as a cover for the body. The dress did not have a belt or sash to gird around the waist. Apart from the arms of the dress missing, there were no gloves to cover the hands and wrists, He made me realize. And apart from the neck and part of the back being open, there was no collar or scarf to cover the neck and back area. All these He made me realize just as I looked at this dress.
Also He made me see and realize that there was no headgear. There was no hat or band or wedding flower crown for the head to accompany the dress.
But most profound, He made me see that there were no shoes! Oh my! There were no shoes to accompany the dress! The bride would be barefoot waiting for her Messiah!
The dream was just a flash, lasting just a few seconds. Nonetheless I believe that the information the Lord is conveying to us is profound and serious, and necessary for us all, to help us to adequately prepare for His soon coming, and for the Wedding of the Lamb.
I also wish to refer the reader to one of my previous post. A profound dream called “Foolish Bride Fails to Heed the Holy Spirit – Focusses on the Cares of this World” posted on the 444 Prophecy Website a year ago on the 16th March 2019. This too is a good reminder on the preparation of the Bride for the Wedding of the Lamb.
Relevant Scriptures:
The Parable of the Wedding Feast
Matthew 22: 8-14
[8] Then he said to his servants, ‘The wedding is ready, but those who were invited were not worthy. [9] Therefore go into the highways, and as many as you find, invite to the wedding.’ [10] So those servants went out into the highways and gathered together all whom they found, both bad and good. And the wedding hall was filled with guests.
[11] “But when the king came in to see the guests, he saw a man there who did not have on a wedding garment. [12] So he said to him, ‘Friend, how did you come in here without a wedding garment?’ And he was speechless. [13] Then the king said to the servants, ‘Bind him hand and foot, take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’
[14] “For many are called, but few are chosen.”
The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins
Matthew 25: 1-13
[1] “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. [2] Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. [3] Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, [4] but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. [5] But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept.
[6] “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ [7] Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. [8] And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ [9] But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ [10] And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut.
[11] “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’
[13] “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.
The Whole Armor of God
Ephesians 6: 10-18
[10] Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. [11] Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. [12] For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. [13] Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
[14] Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, [15] and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; [16] above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. [17] And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; [18] praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—
Brothers and sisters this is the time to prepare for the Wedding of the Lamb. Which side of the bride will you fulfill? Will you be found ready and fully dressed for the occasion, or will you be found inadequate?
Wishing you all the Peace of our Lord Jesus Christ now and forever more.
From Nairobi, Kenya.
Your brother in Christ, William.
