HERE COMES THE BRIDE: Guest Blog from Judy Brooks
My precious child, My Son Jesus died on the cross and shed His blood for your sins to be forgiven and for you to walk in liberty and freedom. I qualified you to share in the inheritance that belongs to My people: believers.
The moment you received Christ as your Savior, you were rescued from the kingdom of darkness and transferred into the Kingdom of Light! Your name was written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Your spirit has already been transformed. However, your mind and body are a work in progress. That is why it is important to renew your mind with the washing of My Word daily.
I have delivered you from the kingdom of darkness, and now you are in the Light! You were once dead because of your rebellion and many sins. You lived in sin just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil. He is the one at work in the heart of everyone who refuses to follow Me.
I am gentle, and I whisper to draw you close to Me. I pursue you like a lover seeks his bride. I am so rich in mercy. I love you so much that My Son gave His life so you might live throughout eternity with Me.
Even though you were dead in sin, I gave you life along with My Son, Jesus, and seated you with Him in heavenly realms because you are united with Christ My Son. I am kind and favor you! I saved you by My grace when you believed. You can't take any credit for that.
Salvation is a free gift, and all you have to do is receive it as a gift with no strings attached. Salvation is a gift not a reward for anything good you have done. You now walk in the Light!
As you read My Word you will discover you have an understanding of what you read – it will become Light.
You are My masterpiece. I created you anew in Christ Jesus My Son! I have a good plan for your life, to give you a future and hope.
Now, move forward in My great plan and enjoy the journey!
My Prayer for you today and every day:
May your day be blessed with great favor! I ask God to give you Great Favor and Great Peace, may you know and experience His presence today! The Holy Spirit is with you, He lives in you, goes before you, and He is your rear-guard! May He be your guide, protector, and give you clear direction today as He orders your steps and stops. I ask God to bring Divine Spiritual Order to your body and your mind as you discipline yourself to speak the Word only. May He guard your heart, for out of it flows a well-spring of life. May He protect you, your Marriage, your family, your home, your relationships, your finances, your business, on your job, in your ministry, and in your church in Jesus' Mighty Matchless Name. Amen.
God has a great plan for you!
A heart pursuing God,

"We also pray that you will be strengthened with all his glorious power so you will have all the endurance and patience you need. May you be filled with joy, always thanking the Father. He has enabled you to share in the inheritance that belongs to his people, who live in the light. For he has rescued us from the kingdom of darkness and transferred us into the Kingdom of his dear Son, who purchased our freedom and forgave our sins."
Colossians 1:13-14 NLT
