In case you do not understand what that means I will make it simple. The Bible is a book that reveals the trinity. It reveals the revelations of each aspect of God. As you read the Bible you discover the whole wonder of God. You learn the heart of God the Father in the Old Testament. You learn about why we must have structure and laws is because He is so holy, and we must have our sins covered to approach Him. The only way we could do this is through blood of animals.
We also discovered that it was impossible to live the life of law alone, so God gave up himself through his son Jesus Christ. He sent him to the Earth to reveal this side of the trinity. He came to be the spotless lamb. Therefore, it says in the book of Revelation that he is the only one that is worthy to open the seal during Tribulation. He is the only one who was worthy because he gave his life for us. He shed his own blood for us. He paved the way for us to have relationship with God the Father.
When he died the veil was torn between us and God. Now we can go to him anytime. No need to pray to Mary, a saint, a statue, a priest, or anything but Jesus. We have full access to God now thanks to Jesus dying for us.Before Jesus left, he said that he had to leave so that we can now meet the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit would be the strength on the inside of us to help us to live this life. Think about it Bride.
Before the Holy Spirit we could not live here. The humans could not live by law alone; therefore, Jesus came! So now we have a superpower on the inside of us who convicts, teaches, leads, and guides us. He makes it possible to live this life. We are now in the age of the revelation of the Holy Spirit side of God. He always magnifies Jesus who always magnifies God. When we pray, we pray to the God the Father in the name of Jesus.
We do this through the help of the Holy Spirit! See how they all work together? When I explain the trinity, I explain it like this. You see that I am a spirit. Without my spirit, I would fall over dead. God gave the spirit. I possess a soul (mind, will and emotions) and I live in a body. However, all you see is a body, but I am made up of three. The Bible talks about this a lot that my spirit is always battling my flesh. This means that my soul – mind, will and emotions, is always battling my spirit who wants to obey God.
Remember when I was going to marry the Lord, I had to battle my flesh and addictions versus my heart who really wanted to marry the Lord. I wanted to do right but my body had the power at the time. The Lord was trying to tell me that when I surrender to him as my husband, that he would take care of all that. In other words, to walk in the spirit will take care of my flesh. It is always a battle of spirit and soul.
So, when the Holy Spirit is here and revealing himself to humankind, his time is about up. We are the generation who is going to finish this revelation of the Holy Spirit! Isn’t this amazing? When He is done, we will leave this Earth with Him! Jesus is coming back for us and then the Trinity will be finished revealing Himself to humankind; then time will be done!
This is an article I wrote about it on October 7, 2013, before I did the first BrideFest wedding ceremony….
I have been single for 12 years now and been married six times (one annulled) and went to Bible college after all the failures. God showed me how he wants to be my TRUE husband. While in Bible college, I quit and came back to Nashville because I could not stand to watch my daughter suffer. When it was me suffering, I could handle it.
Since then, it has been seven years. My heart has been so devastated about my failure at Bible college I have not been able to pick myself back up. I found the strength May 8, 2013. I went back to my prayer closet where I left my spiritual husband years ago. I told him “I surrender. You can have it all! My master’s degree, my new car, my new apartment, all my material things, my children, my dreams, my hopes…MY EVERYTHING. I’M DONE. Please accept me back.”
Since that time, my life has been crazy! He had shut every door in my life since I graduated, and he KEPT THOSE DOORS SHUT! He wanted me to spend time with Him. During this time, I spent night and day seeking his face! I cut off ALL CABLE…no news, no worldly music; I mean everything attached to this world. I spent one to 8 hours a day in prayer. Even when I was not praying, I was listening to preaching, worship, and meditating. I pursued him with all my heart.
During this time, he showed me who I was, my heart. I repented all summer long! He showed me how selfish and all the ripple-effects of my decisions in other people’s lives. I repented for everything I could ever think of!
I even went to the lake in Lebanon Tennessee one day and sat there for at least six hours just talking to God. Man, that was such a good and intimate day! He requested I write down everyone I slept with and had any soul-ties with. You do not know how hard that was!
I wept.
At the end of it, I held the list up to Heaven and I said, “Lord, I forgive every person on this list for hurting me. Please forgive me for every sin affected with these decisions, and I forgive MYSELF.”
Then I wadded up the paper and threw it in the lake. I watched as the waters overtook it, covered it, and took it underneath. The Lord spoke to me and said, “This is my blood covering your sins.” I cried so hard.
That is just one example. Anyways, during this time I had so much advice:
You should do it this way…
You should be doing this to get a job…doing that…
You are not doing enough…
You are too super-spiritual, get balance in your life.
You are crazy.
We are not going to help you because you deserve what is going to happen…
Do not ask us for help…
You have went off the deep end…
Etc.
So, because I did not fit into their mold, they abandoned me. The entire world abandoned me! I rubbed the religious system raw. I was not conforming to their mold. They thought my suffering was crazy. I do not know how to explain it except that I had to fight through the storm, through the fiery darts, through the pain, through the repentance, through the shame, through the unworthiness, through MYSELF.
So, after losing my brand-new car and the next loss is my apartment on Friday, my awesome pastor told me yesterday that I needed to fast tomorrow that God had an “appointment” with me. I knew what she meant.
My prayer closet is the woods. I am Cherokee Indian, and I found God in the woods when I was a little girl. So, I feel closer to him in nature. I love the sounds of the woods…the creek…the trees, the air I breath, the big, beautiful sky, etc. So, I knew he wanted to see me in “our special spot.”
I went to meet him early in the morning.
When I went to my holy place, HE MET ME THERE. I recorded it! When I go in the Holy of Holies, it is so precious. I would rather pray than breathe. I would rather be with him in that prayer closet than with my kids. He is everything to me. So, when I started talking to Him, I felt a sermon coming on. It was like giving birth. When I get in the Holy of Holies, I preach most of the time.
I recorded that sermon! An hour long! After I received the sermon, I knew that my whole life…everything I have been through…all the rejection…all the hurts…all the mistakes…EVERYTHING about June Knight brought me to this point in my life. It is all about my purpose and destiny!
When I was in bible college, I was on the platform in the Bible college choir, and I entered the Throne room during worship. The Lord said, “Do you remember the vision I gave you at Brock’s Wildfire meeting about the bride?” I said, “Yes sir.” He said, “You are that bride!” I said, “What?” I was shocked. She was skinny and dancing on a big platform in front of tens of thousands of people.
Jesus said, “You will write a book called ‘We Are The Bride’ and you will tell women what I showed you about what it means to be the Bride of Christ.” I wept. I said, “Yes sir.”
I got off the platform weeping and sat down. Next thing you know, Pastor Parsley walked in from the side (we hardly ever saw him) and he grabbed the microphone and said, “I don’t know who this is for, but the Lord sent me over here to tell you that WE ARE THE BRIDE!”
He then preached the whole Chapel about being the Bride of Christ. I cried so hard!
I failed my next test and left Bible college six months before graduation. (My child was suffering, and I could not stand it and stepped in and pulled her out and came back to TN). So, now that I am back in the prayer closet…he says it is time to write the book now and tell the world what I have showed you. So today he FINISHED THE BOOK WITH THIS SERMON! He let me know my whole life was set for THIS…for Such a Time as This!!!
I am going to write a short summary of the sermon. This is the revelation God gave me.
When a person says, “OK Lord, take my life and do with it what you want, and I surrender ALL.” You are saying, “I want to be your bride.” Jesus takes that seriously and begins the process.
Get ready because:
Now he is courting you – When a man dates a woman, he courts her. He wants you to know all about him. This is where I was raised. This is my family.
This is my mom…my dad, sisters, brother, etc. He begins to reveal to you who he REALLY IS. He wants you to know the things he has been through in his life.
He wants you to experience HIM. How do you experience Jesus? SUFFERING! He begins to separate you and allows you to be abandoned, humiliated, shamed, etc., because he wants to know if you will accept his ULTIMATE GIFT…. which is the dowry he paid for you…his life!
While you are suffering people turn away from you because they do not want to look at your pain. People like WINNERS…not losers. You look like a loser and weak to them. You are now experiencing life like Jesus did. People spit on him, shamed him, humiliated him, hit him, etc. He suffered! You will suffer!
So, after you suffer, repent, run through the fire, been under so much pressure sometimes you feel like you are going to explode, etc., then the devil comes to see you. When you get to the point that you say, “Father, why have you forsaken me?” The devil looks you square in the face and says, “Stop the insanity, go back to the BOX that everyone thinks you should be in. Go back to the old familiar system that says, “Work yourself to death. You have a master’s degree; you should have a job! Something is wrong with you because you are not successful driving a new car, a new home, etc. You do not want to go down that suffering road and marry Jesus. You do not even know where you are going. You will be rejected, persecuted, and no one will love you.”
At that point, the Christian makes a choice. I looked that devil in the face and said, “Get thee behind me Satan! I know what I am getting in to and I choose to marry Jesus no matter what I lose. I give myself away. My life is not my own. It is Jesus’.” It is like when Jesus said, “Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.” He means all the people that he died for.
So, we make that decision to keep going to the unknown and for real marry Jesus then. Once you get past the crossroad, then the wedding takes place. My crossroads happened this weekend.
The crossroads is this:
There are two systems on Earth.
The Kingdom of this World system that has Earthly laws and under the rule of Satan. The world tells people how they should “mold” into acceptance by doing certain things or following a certain pattern. (Everything makes this system too like music, movies, news; everything that floods your eye gate and ear gate).
The Kingdom of Heaven System. This is the unknown. This is unfamiliar and polar-opposite the kingdom on Earth. This system tells you a different identity.
Now Jesus is ready to take you as His Bride because now you TRULY KNOW HIM AND KNOW WHAT YOU’RE GETTING IN TO! YOU know that you may lose your life because you are in a system that is of this world. You will then be a foreigner in a strange land. You are ready to take on the Kingdom of Heaven principals within this foreign planet. Think of it like Chronicles of Narnia. We are here with our fleshly bodies, but we do not BELONG HERE. We walk in the spirit thus the spirit leads us, but we live on Earth so we must obey Earthly laws if they do not penetrate the Heavenly laws.
For instance, God says “Do not lie.” So, no matter what…we DO NOT LIE.
So now you are ready to get married so the Lord prepares you like Esther to marry the King. He will prepare you and beautify you.
It is basically that you are taking on HIS Identity! You are now Mrs. Jesus Christ. When the world sees you…he sees HIM. You walk IN ALL AUTHORITY in Jesus’ name! You have access to all his inheritance, laws, gifts, etc.
When you get to the end of yourself, and God has drained you of your past; then you meet the Lamb that was slain for you. It is a beautiful love story.
Romeo and Juliet are now Jesus and June. This is how he means it to be. You die for each other.
When he puts that wedding band on you. It is gold (representing his heritage, inheritance, laws, etc.) and its round (representing eternity, time never ends). He puts that ring on your finger and SEALS YOUR LOVE THROUGHOUT ETERNITY!
Greatest love story ever told!
As your husband, he is the gift giver. He showers you with gifts because he loves you and wants the world to know how much he loves you. He wants you to be proud and to brag about what he does for you. He showers you with gifts because he loves you. He wants the whole world to know how he treats you. He gave me a house, he gave me a car, he gave me beautiful clothes.
He wants to be EVERYTHING to us! This is why I went through the trial! I must KNOW HIM. I must be able to tell women all over the United States that Jesus is my husband and my provider! He will give me a house, car, etc. He is going to take care of me!
P.S. After I left the throne room, I called some people that rejected me and told them I forgive them and wanted to be restored.
I know now that God allowed them to do that because I had to identify with HIM. So…I am so thankful for his mercy!
I am excited about the future! I know that with a job, without a job, without a house, with a house, with no one or with everyone…I do not operate in this Kingdom…I know who holds my hand and about the ring of eternity on my finger and seal me!
