The deep and precious love of God is the Church/Bride

D&V List No.1327
Date: Thursday 15 January, 2009
Dream by Christine Harvey

First Dream:
I saw the body and chest of God/Christ. I was looking at his heart. His heart was deep in his chest. I seemed to be taken into the depth of his heart. I remember focusing on his heart. The word Zoe was written across his heart.

Second Dream:
I had a dream the next day about a Pastor I know. He is like a father to me. He was talking to me about something (marriage). I saw a house and whatever he was talking to me about was a surprise. I was tickled in my spirit heart and soul. When I woke up I had this tickled feeling all day long.

** Since the first and second dreams came one night after another, they are related. They addressed marriage. Dream one is highlighting how Christ Jesus so deeply loves the Church which is His Bride. In the dream the Bride is represented by the name Zoe which should have an appropriate meaning. Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia on the Internet says that ‘Zoe (and variants) is a name which came from ancient Greece and means "life" in Greek.’ Say no more with regards to the gift that God has given the Church/Bride.

Joh 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

In the second dream your pastor represents your heavenly Father and you portray the Bride of Christ. The dream is saying that at present God the Father is talking to the Church/Bride about oneness of marriage with Christ Jesus the Bridegroom. The subject matter would have to be about preparation for marriage that ministers who credibly hear God would be presently relaying to the people.

It is in the process of actually becoming one with Christ that the Church/Bride is sanctified and cleansed unto holiness by the direct word of constructive fellowship and communion between the two. (Of such is the particular and consistent teaching of Daystar Ministry’s web site that continues to grow and abound in unique Bible based illumination)

Even marriage counsellors agree that continual amiable communication unto resolution of all things between husband and wife is vital for a successful, meaningful and happy marriage. Direct communication or discussion unto resolution of all things would be like washing of water to remove potential threats to the relationship.

Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;
Eph 5:26 That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,
Eph 5:27 That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.

Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.

Such example of Christ is in reality a far cry from the average Christian marriage at the mercy of uncrucified carnality and its accompanying spiritual forces of this antichrist world. Nevertheless, we are being counselled to attain unto the example of Christ. Therein is the principle of perfecting the maturity of Christ and attaining to the holiness needed for being a participant in the First Resurrection by means of oneness with Christ.

Eph 5:28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
Eph 5:29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church
Eph 5:30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
Eph 5:31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
Eph 5:32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
Eph 5:33 Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

Phi 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Phi 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Phi 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
Phi 3:13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
Phi 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.
Phi 3:15 Let us therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus minded: and if in any thing ye be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even this unto you.

Interestingly the dream is highlighting how after marriage, married couples were supposed to go and live in a house of their own – so it is in the marriage of Christ and His Church/Bride. This particular enlightenment is new with regards to focus of teaching and is a surprise to most people of God (I saw a house and whatever he was talking to me about was a surprise).

Joh 17:24 Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, BE WITH ME WHERE I AM; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world.

Joh 14:2 In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare A PLACE FOR YOU.
Joh 14:3 And if I go and prepare A PLACE for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.

[For further insight into this place that God has chosen, see my personal Bible Commentary on Deu 12:5 at the end of this document]

In Daystar Ministry teaching we understand that total and complete marriage between Christ and the Bride will take place from the Rapture of First Resurrection (see relevant articles on Daystar Ministry web site).

The event is about to take place soon but no one knows the exact date; although we may discern the signs of the times.

Mat 24:36 But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
Mat 24:37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.

Mat 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
Mat 16:3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather today: for the sky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?

1Th 5:2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night.
1Th 5:3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape.
1Th 5:4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief.
1Th 5:5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness.
1Th 5:6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober.
1Th 5:7 For they that sleep sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night.
1Th 5:8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation.
1Th 5:9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ,
1Th 5:10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him.

The day for the Rapture of First Resurrection will also be a surprise to many and it is going to make participants so happy to be free from the weight of concerns for trying temporal life in this world. (I was tickled in my spirit heart and soul. When I woke up I had this tickled feeling all day long.)

Joh 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, YE SHALL BE free indeed.
