Rick Joyner’s Word For the Week: Signs of the Kingdom, Part 26

As we see at the end of Revelation, His city is His bride, His people, the church. Because of the church’s present state, it is easy to see why many would think this is not something to look forward to. However, that is looking through our present, fallen, human vision. True vision takes faith, and the greatest vision takes the greatest faith.

Faith that pleases the Lord is not seeing things as they are, but as they are called to be and believing that God will make that happen. To see the church in its present, weakest state and believe that God will do this requires great faith, which we now have opportunity to have.

We can be absolutely assured that the Lord will have a bride that is perfect, and “without spot or wrinkle.” Without “spot” speaks of purity; without “wrinkle” speaks of the ageless beauty of holiness. The earth has never witnessed a greater, more compelling society than what His people will become. We may be the opposite now, but that will only make this miracle more spectacular.

It is only now, when the church is in this deplorable state, that it will take the greatest faith to believe for this miracle. Don’t waste this opportunity to be one of those who will have had the greatest faith, held on to the vision in the most difficult time, and been one through whom the miracle would come. If we wait until the miracle happens to commit to God’s ultimate purpose to make His bride ready, what reward will we have?

Now is the time to resolve that we will have faith to become part of the solution, not live in the doubt that is the problem. We have the sure promises of God that, no matter how dark the times get, the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and the Light will win.
