LOVING CARE WILL GENERATE GROWTH. Any product or any intent that has the blessing of the Lord on it will increase and prosper. If that which was the natural seed grew extensively, how much more that which is spiritual. The language used to express their phenomenal growth is; fruitful, increased abundantly or multiplied greatly, exceeding mighty or exceedingly numerous until the land of Egypt was filled with them. Ex. 1:7 Now she has come to maturity. Clothed and decked with ornaments, jewels or Spiritual gifts. Eze. 16:7 Even as the invitation of the Lord to the church is to buy of Him, pure gold, tested and tried. White raiment’s, or the holiness and righteousness of the Lord, that they do not appear to be naked. All accomplished through the anointing of the Holy Spirit. Rev. 3:18
THE TIME OF LOVE. Too many are recipients of the love of Christ without making a full commitment to Him. In His mercy and grace He gave Himself for all mankind while we were yet sinners. Rom. 5:8 Now, particularly in our day, He is seeking a people who will love Him above all else by following the first and greatest commandment, responding with love to His love. Loving Him with the entirety of our heart, soul, mind and strength. That involves the whole being and character. Mark 12:30 Love with the whole, entire source of affections, the spiritual entity. The complete soul or the seat of the natural man with all of his emotions and feelings. When this is accomplished there is no longer room for carnal desires. The mind, the source of our thought life. The area where sin is germinated. Once committed to Christ the whole pattern of our thoughts are altered and we have His mind. Strength, our might and victory is in the Holy Spirit. Through His power and might we are more than conquerors. When we are sold out to Christ, the greatness of His love will be seen in the Bride. Her love for Him will be the love of all loves. Beautiful, complete and absolutely absolute, faultlessly faultless and perfectly perfect. The greatest of loves cannot compare to the love of Christ and His Bride.
A SIGN OF PROTECTION AND AFFECTION. The Lord laid claim to that which had been so ugly and gross. He spread the hem of His priestly robes over her, claiming her as His very own. They were and the Bride now is the oil and the wine. The anointing and joy of the Spirit. She came to have trust and confidence in the covering of His great wings. Ps. 36:7 He will become her {the bride} place of refuge until the great tribulation pass by. Ps. 57:1 His wings, His tabernacle, the place of His protection. Ps. 61:4 Ruth, at the midnight hour is found at the feet of Boaz. Ruth 3:8 The midnight hour is significant of the end of the age. We are drawing ever closer to that precious time. In this instance it is Ruth who requested that Boaz become her protector and caregiver. He is a near kinsman with the responsibility of taking her as his wife in order to produce seed in the name of her departed husband. Ruth 3:9They are a beautiful type of Christ and His Bride. We have been covered and purchased by His precious blood to be His very own. Acts 20:28
