The bridegroom comes.

                                                                     The Bridegroom comes
 
Matthew 25:6
And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him.
Will the Bridegroom come before the bride is ready?
 The bride will surely be ready when the Bridegroom comes for her.  We are nearing the midnight hour, and we are hearing the voice of the Bridegroom saying, come up hither.  The Bride is dressed up in pure white robes, she has made herself clean and pure, she has separated herself from the pollution of the world, she has sold all of her earthly possessions, her mind is not concerned with the affairs of this life, she has given up all doubt and worry, her mind is not centered on material gain and selfishness.  The Bride may not know the day or hour, but she is not in the dark concerning his return because  she is patiently waiting, the Bridesmaids are waiting and prepared, the music is ready to be played, the trumpets are ready to be blown, the table is already prepared with the finest of bread and wine.  Oh are you coming to the marriage feast of the lamp? You are cordially invited, there are many invitations given out to attend, yes there is still so much room, there are so many robes available, so much food already ready and prepared for you. You that have lamps, there is plenty of oil to fill your lamps, don’t you see that it is getting very dark, soon the darkness will arrive, soon you may not have enough oil to keep your lamps burning, but the wise virgins will have enough oil to trim their lamps and keep them burning; it is midnight, so when they trim their lamps, their lamps will become brighter. Oh, those foolish virgins, sad for them, their lamps will go out, and when they go to trim their lamps, their lamps will get dimmer and dimmer and dimmer. Soon it will be too late for them to get oil from the wise virgins, soon the door will be shut, and they will began to say, Lord, open up to us. Oh, they will hear these words, “I NEVER KNEW YOU.”  Yes, there is so little time left, there is so much to learn and to understand, there is a treasure trove of knowledge in the word, there are  so many pastors, teachers, evangelist, Bishops and prophets already to show you the way, ready to teach you the words of knowledge and wisdom, but so many would rather go out to the clubs instead of bible study, so many would rather stay at home and watch TV instead of going to bible studies, so many are following after dreams, visions, prophesy and wanting to hear end times messages.

There are so many Pastors even on the streets passing out invitations to teach you the good word of life, but many are refusing their invitations. Will you miss out on the call; will you miss out on the opportunities presented to you? Oh, you fail to realize how little time you have left, soon the trumpets will sound, soon the angels will come and gather the faithful to their eternal bliss, and soon the darkness will overcome the world. The pastors are sad, the teachers are grieved because they can only get a hand full of lambs in their sheepfolds, and they are grieved because they can only get a few lambs into their flocks.  The Shepherd is disappointed because there are only a few that are faithful, do you hear his constant plea? Are you not at all concerned about your souls? Many warnings are sent out through the airwaves, the Internet, TV, on the streets. Yeah, they were saying that the rapture is coming, but when it did not come they relented and were disappointed.  This they have failed to realize that the rapture is indeed imminent, but it will pass you by if you are not prepared, watching and waiting, having your garments dip in the blood of the lamb. You that are alive may not know the day or the hour, but you will know the season because you are ready for the Bridegroom.  Will the Bridegroom keep his bride in the dark and catch her by surprise? They are even sending out more invitations before the midnight hour, he will not continue to tarry; he will not continue to delay. Look around and see the signs, see all the distractions that is happening now, soon you will witness greater destruction, soon you will witness greater despair, soon it will be too late, soon they will beat their breast in the streets. The warnings are being sent out, the message is very clear even a child can understand the message. You have to realize that if darkness is in you, than God cannot be in you, and if  you  are in Christ then there can be no way Christ is in you if there is darkness, God is light and in him is no darkness.
But the path of the just isas the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day (Proverbs 4:18)
The path of the righteous is a path that shines in them when more of the anointing and word is increased, and when it is full then they are already shinning unto the perfect day which is the rapture. They have to continue shinning until that day arrives. See that no darkness is in you lest you be caught like a thief.
I John 1:5-7
5.  This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
6.  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:


        7.  But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
