May 29, 2020 Pentecost Love

Today was a glorious day as we celebrated Pentecost.  It was a day filled with Prayer and Worship, and especially the reading of God’s Word. People of all ages and locations and languages worked together to read the Word of God non-stop for over 15 hours today.  We read Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, Ruth, Song of Solomon, Mark, and Acts out loud from the altar and from our homes continuously.   
 
I have talked to a few of the people who read, and they all said the same thing – it was an emotionally moving time.  The Word came very alive and we often had tears in our eyes. We are definitely going to incorporate oral reading of God’s word in our quiet times! As we were pouring out Love and reverence and praise to the Lord, He was pouring His passionate heart out to us. 
 
Below is an excerpt from a prophetic psalm from September 14, 2014 entitled My Beautiful Bride.  In it the Lord’s heart is pounding over His love for His Bride – us! He can’t wait for her to be presented to Him.  He is showing all the preparations going on in heaven for the wedding, as well as talking about her journey to be with Him. 
 
 
 
I’m burning on the inside with a zeal and love for thee
Waiting for her to come to Me
Burning on the inside of Me is fire, full of jealousy
Don’t you walk away from Me
You belong to Me, you see, I love thee, I love thee
 
There is much movement, much movement
Heaven is going here and there and everywhere
I hear them say, Get ready, get ready for this great day
Prepare, prepare, get all things in place
Bring things to order, leave not a trace
Prepare, prepare I say, prepare, you see
I’m speaking to My bride, she’s getting ready for Me
Prepare, prepare, prepare, it is time that she comes close
 
I’ve chosen you, why do you think you’re here?
Why do you think I drew you near?
You, you walk with Me, and you talk with Me
You have been chosen by Me
 
You have a position in Me that I had chosen for thee
I made a promise to you and you made a vow to Me
Your love was strong for Me, and My love was strong for thee
And now we are One, you see
 
But My heart is pounding, and pounding and pounding for the love of My bride
I cannot hide My emotions from thee, I want someone to listen to Me
My heart is pounding and pounding and pounding, and pounding
I couldn’t wait
I know there’s an hour that is set, but My heart is burning, burning
Burning, burning for thee, inside of Me
 
You are sitting at My feet, and how it so pleased Me
That you have chosen Me to sit and wait
 I shall come like a thief in the night, and I will stand and I will fight
Until all the Father’s children will come inside of His sight
And I will see My great bride
 
But you must watch until this very day comes
You must stand, you cannot run
It is a day that’s chosen for the both of Us, you see
I love thee, I make this plea, come to Me, come to Me
 
As we were pouring out our love for the Lord today, He was pouring out His Love even more. 
 
Song of Solomon 8:5-7 "Who is this coming up from the wilderness leaning on her beloved?" "Beneath the apple tree I awakened you; There your mother was in labor with you, There she was in labor and gave you birth. "Put me like a seal over your heart, Like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, Jealousy is as severe as Sheol; Its flashes are flashes of fire, The very flame of the LORD. "Many waters cannot quench love, Nor will rivers overflow it; If a man were to give all the riches of his house for love, It would be utterly despised."
