Summary: The Church, Jesus Christ

Ephesians 5:25-27 – “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless.”

The only way you and I can stand spotless before the Bridegroom some day is if we have been washed by the sinless blood of the Lamb and dressed in His righteousness! He’s got to cover your “filthy rags” with robes of righteousness. Some Christians act like their wedding clothes were treated with “Scotch Guard!” They said they loved Jesus but they keep rolling around in the bed with sin pretending like they’re not getting any stains on them. The stain of your sin was removed at great cost! How dare you mock the one who made such a holy proposal to you! Don’t try to sew yourself a holy “cover up.” Jesus is coming for a holy bride. If the wedding were today at 1:00 PM, would you be ready?

INVITATION:

PLEASE DON’T TURN DOWN HIS GENEROUS PROPOSAL.

PLEASE DON’T BE TARDY FOR THE CEREMONY.

PLEASE STOP “TWO-TIMING” THE GROOM!

CONCLUSION: Illustr. – Story of the great nobleman’s beautiful daughter to the “deformed man.”

Eben Cephas

I googled "The bride is not ready" and your link popped up! You are so right! My name is Evan Thompkins-Ayala but in Hebrew it is Eben which means "Stone". Sort of Like the Greek name Peter (Stone) or Cephas in Amharic (Rock, Stone). The Lord has been speaking to me recently as I turned my life back to Christ 2 months ago during this current COVID-19. Christ has called me to help him revive his church! His bride! because it is not ready! You hit everything on the nail and its hard to find brothers and sisters to hear the message he has given me here in Boston, Mass where I'm currently located (Not from here). I am under heavy persecution by the enemy, Satan knows his time is getting shorter and shorter! He has called me to let all believers know to start back congregating on the street corners and in households like Disciples and Apostles did to avoid certain licenses and zoning laws. Churches that are under business licenses have to accept homosexuality in the church and if not they are ridiculed. It is written by Christ and by Paul (Not in verbatim but in summary) that we as disciples have the authority to cut off any member/dismember a body part causing the disciples to stumble so that the whole body won't be cast into the lake of fire where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. This is why I am stressing on returning the congregation back on street corners and households where there is no business license and really we are just groups of people that hide nothing in secret but want to follow the word and the epistles as it is and not comprise or succumb to Satanic forces. I am open to all if interested in what the Lord has to say to his disciples. So much more I would like to say! Eben@Disciples.com

Churches that are under business licenses have to accept homosexuality in the church and if not they are ridiculed. Apostle Paul who ordained by Christ said that Women are not suppose to speak in Church and that the head is the man. The head of the man is Christ. Head coverings and all! This was suppose to help the order in church and show it symbolically. We have fallen so far! It is written by Christ and by Paul (Not in verbatim but in summary) that we as disciples have the authority to cut off any member/dismember a body part causing the disciples to stumble so that the whole body won't be cast into the lake of fire where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I am open to all if interested in what the Lord has to say to his disciples. So much more I would like to say! BE BOLD IN CHRIST!
