"I'm not asking you to 'stay home with the kids' while I work & ask you to trust Me. I'm asking you to work with Me. Together.

Can you see what I'm doing? I'm looking for a mature bride, equally yoked to Me in meekness, humility, & love. One who seeks the good of the Kingdom- her husband- first, above herself because she understands that they are one.

She's not suspicious, or untrusting of her husband's intentions. They are able to work as ONE because she knows His heart.

This is what I'm looking for.

A bride yoked to Me in humility, meekness- which may look like weakness, but she understands that together we're STRONGER.

Its not that she can't do it on her own, it's that strength is MULTIPLIED when we do it together.

Ecclesiastes 4:12- 'though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.'

The cord of three strands is God, the groom, & the bride.

It is to add to the strength of the bride when the Holy Spirit is active, & moving among her. It is My very presence released to reveal My heart, My character, & My nature. This is how I 'woo' her. To draw her in with cords of loving kindness, so that we can work together, & not against one another.

I want her, My bride, to know My heart-

My motives & actions always come from a place of love.

When she knows this, how powerful will her ministry be? When her actions come from a deep place of knowing Me- intimacy- & not of questioning whether or not I'm there.

There is a wrestle around this knowledge, but for those who press in for revelation of My heart, by My Spirit I will release it.

I already promised it.

And I keep My promises."
