Intimate Union: Bride of Christ part 9 of 9


I was awakened from a deep sleep earlier this week. When I awoke, I reached for the remote, turned on the television and changed the channel to Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN). Just at that moment, barely awake, Benny Hinn's program was just starting. As I laid there in bed, I asked God what it was he wanted me to know. This was the message Benny Hinn was sharing that very morning. I was in AWE the entire time. Benny Hinn perfectly describes the beautiful personal relationship I share with my heavenly Father and how this nirvana reached me. It's an ongoing process. Benny Hinn has described this union in a way that I could never put into words the way he has. It's a way of living I wish everyone could truly know deep down in the core of their being. Would you please take a moment out of your day to listen to this most beautiful 9 part message that God wants you to know. God loves you soooooooo much! You have always been His precious precious child and He is just waiting for you to embrace Him right where you are. Open your heart, mind, body and spirit to Him and watch your life be trasformed in total amazement. I have typed a transcript of the first 5 minutes for my international readers who need to use Babelfish to translate.

****************************************************************

When someone comes and says lunch is ready, you say eat it yourself I'm having lunch. I'm not responding. I'm not coming down. When your mom comes and says please they've been cooking all night, you say momma Jesus is more important. You be bold in doing that.

Song of Solomon 1 verse 12 says, "While the King sitteth at His table, my spikenard sendeth forth the smell thereof." Now suddenly the bridegroom is the center of your heart again. He's revealing Himself to you and as a result His fragrance is coming out of you to others. You have spent such time in His presence that every where you go, every where you go people begin to cry as they feel Jesus. Every where you go His presence begins to permeate the atmosphere. Now you've there and now you have been partaking, you've been experiencing death and you take Him with you now when you go.

I had that experience once, I'll never forget that. I'm in fellowship with the Lord, with His presence so deep. And I promised Jim Porter to go with him to a little Methodist Church where he was preaching. And the time was coming when he had come. And I said to the Lord, I said dear Jesus please come with me. I left my room, my mom was standing outside the door and she couldn't get near me. She just stares at me and I come out just smiling and such calmness. And my mom was startled by something she saw on me. I go down the stairs and I get into Jim's car and the man begins to cry and starts to sing Hallelujah. I said are you all right? He said when you walked in here, the presence of Jesus came with you. Oh that's right because I just told Him to come with me. And he could not drive.

That's what this verse means. While the King sits at His table, I've been there with Him and now His fragrance sends forth the smell thereof. The smell, the fragrance of His presence is now coming out of me. It's not just Him. I have become a vehicle of the fragrance of the Master.

That's what happen when Catherine comes to these meeting. She'd come out and Jesus came out with her. Precious people I'm sure some of you have been to these meetings. How many have put your hands up? These people that have put their hands up will testify with me. That you'd be sitting and the organ playing softly behind you and people talking when suddenly you felt the glory of God fill the stadium or the Shrine Auditorium or some place you were in. And next thing you felt literally, this happened to me I felt like something pulled me out of my seat, where suddenly I'm on my feet, tears running down my cheeks, singing how great the Lord and I didn't pay attention to Catherine. And I'd be sitting talking to Jim without even realizing she just walked on the platform. But when she walked on the presence of God startled me. Isn't that what happened to you. How many agree that's what happened to you? You were just so taken by the presence of God. She literally transformed the atmosphere in seconds. Why? Because when she walked out, He came out with her. And when He came out, everybody felt Him in that room. And you entered into worship instantly. There is nothing like a warm reception in her services. You went from cold to fire hot. There was no luke warm seasons in her meetings. You entered into fire instantly. Because she was living it.

Song of Solomon 1 verse 13 says, "A bundle of myrrh is my well-beloved unto me; He shall lie all night betwixt my breasts." God's presence will so penetrate your being, you will not be able to sleep at night.

Song of Solomon 1 verse 14 says, "My beloved is unto me as a cluster of camphire in the vineyards of Engedi." Because you know the depth of His presence, you'll discover His nearness like a cluster of cypress where you'll find JOY alone in Him. Where nothing else delights your soul but Him. He becomes your only Source of satisfaction. And if you seek any other source, you lose Him. So suddenly now His presence so raptures you that you say my beloved is to me like a cluster of cypress. I am so near to Him. I so delight in Him. To seek any other source of satisfaction is to lose ALL that comes from Him. I cannot get away from Him.

Song of Solomon 1 verse 15 says, "Behold, thou art fair, my love, behold, thou art fair; thou hast dove's eyes." He speaks back to His bride. He says you're fair now because you are in my presence. And I'm going to perfect you. I'm going to cause you to always see Me with dove's eyes. SIMPLICITY and FREEDOM FROM DECEPTION. Dove's eyes symbolize two things in the bible, simplicity and no deception. So now in My presence you're going to enjoy and NONE can deceive you. Now the bride gives praise.

Song of Solomon 1 verse 16 says, "Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; also our bed is green." So now she responds calling Him my beloved. And she says to the bridegroom, she gives Him praise and she says our bed, that inner place of fellowship, that place of beauty and union BELONGS ONLY to you Lord Jesus. A place adorned with green. And when she says green, she means A THOUSAND VIRTUES. Fellowship UNTOLD is what green symbolizes.

Song of Solomon 1 verse 17 says, "The beams of our house are cedar, and our rafters of fir." Now the Lord begins to build His habitation around you. That's why He mentions the beams of the house. Now the Lord begins to build His habitation around you. And prepares you for the next stage of your relationship, which is the practice of His presence. That's the cedar. The beautifully carved rafters of cypress speaks of total death, total elimination of who you are. You are raptured in ALL He is. And that my brother and that my sister is the bride.
