赤誠追尋神

我看見基督的新婦，像以斯帖一樣，站在王面前。
她預備妥當，美麗無瑕，穿著細麻衣（Linen^^），頭上戴著金冠。
耶穌王極其喜悅祂的新婦，筆墨難以形容。
祂向她伸出祂公義的皇杖。在異象中，新婦觸摸杖頭。當她這樣作，王的權柄與恩寵傳遞給她，濃厚如有形有質的液體充滿她全人每部份。
祂說：「去吧，我的新婦．．．帶著我的權能去拯救列國！」

在下一幅異象中，我看見新婦披帶著榮耀，騎在一匹巨大，美麗的白色戰馬上。
耶穌作王，新婦緊抱著祂，二人一起向著禾場飛奔。
在異象中，耶穌與祂的新婦完全合而為一，有著相同的使命。
王權──
從他們身上散發出充滿愛及光的權柄，各國被這種「愛的權柄」掩蓋，全地都充滿主榮耀的知識。

"The Bride Will Acknowledge Her 'Third Heaven Position'"
by Patricia King (Pat Coking)
September 2003

"Now it came about on the third day that Esther put on her royal robes and stood in the inner court of the king's palace in front of the king's rooms, and the king was sitting in his royal throne in the throne room, opposite the entrance of the palace. And it happened when the king saw Esther the queen standing in the court, she obtained favor in his sight and the king extended to Esther the golden scepter which was in his hand. So Esther came near and touched the top of the scepter." Esther 5:1,2


VISION

I saw the Bride of Christ, like Esther, stand before the King. She was beautifully prepared....no spot or wrinkle and was arrayed in fine linen. A golden crown was upon her head. King Jesus delighted in His Bride with an intensity of favor that is indescribable. He extended His righteous scepter to her. In the vision, the Bride touched the scepter and as she did, the authority and the favor of the King was imparted to her. It appeared like a tangible thick liquid that filled every part of her being. He said, "Go my Bride.....Go in My authority and save the nations."

In the next part of the vision, I saw the Bride, arrayed in glory riding on the back of a large, beautiful, white war horse. Jesus held the reigns and she was cleaving to Him as they rode together into harvest fields. Jesus and His bride were absolutely one in this vision and they shared the same mission. Kingdom authority -- the authority of love and light was radiating off of them and the nations were being flooded with the influence of this "love authority". The nations were being flooded with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord.

INTERPRETATION

1. Believers are being called to a preparation season (like Esther). This is a call to deeper levels of intimacy with the Lord. Individuals need to ask the Holy Spirit to lead them in the preparation.

2. The royal robes (Christ's righteousness) are to array the Bride. This means that we cannot lean on our own righteousness but must acknowledge the finished work of Christ at the cross and depend on His life to fill us and clothe us. The Bride will know "grace" and will not lean on her own self efforts. Kingdom works will flow from this revelation. The works will be marked by the Lord's presence. "The fine linen are the righteous acts of the saints" Revelation 19:8b

3. The Lord is calling His Bride to stand in the presence of His throne. This is the place where His rule is executed. (see Matthew 28:18-20). Ephesians 2:6 states that we are seated in the heavenly places with Him. The Bride will acknowledge it's "third heaven position".

4. The church is to acknowledge the greatness of the Lord's favor towards her. Favor will strengthen the mission of the church in the earth and the Bride must have the revelation of how favored she is. This favor will surround her as a shield and give her confidence (see Psalm 5:12).

5. The Lord imparted favor and authority to the Bride as she touched His righteous scepter. The Holy Spirit is going to grant revelation of the Kingly authority of Christ and as the revelation comes there will be an impartation of that same authority to those who "touch it". This will come only by being in His presence.

6. The Bride will be released to ride with King Jesus into the earth to touch the nations with His "love authority". The horse was a "war horse". There will be great conflicts in these coming days and the power and authority of the love and light that is in Christ will conquer darkness and wickedness. This is a time of great harvest. The Bride will "go" into all the earth with her King executing His dominion and authority. The nations will be touched by the glory of the Lord and the knowledge of His greatness will be made known through the church.

FURTHER NOTE:
The true "Bridal Rule" will be expressed in tremendous levels of humility and meekness.
