THE BRIDE OF CHRIST

The Bride of Christ
Duane Bemis
I was in the Spirit on the Lord 's Day when I saw a vision of a bride and two pastor's had hold of her dress and they were fighting over the Bride of Christ. One was pulling her one way and the other Pastor another direction. In their bickering and fighting over denominational issues and they had torn her dress from the bottom upward exposing her nakedness to the non-believing World. The unbeliever's wanted nothing to do with the ugliness of the church, (Christ's Bride), because of their exposing her nakedness.
The vision continued and One Pastor wanted to rid the Bride of the old hymns while the other Pastor wanted to rid the Bride of the new contemporary songs. Neither, Pastor would move in their man made theology, hence the Bride of Christ and the wedding of the Lamb was dwindling down to nothing.

Christ prayed for our unity as one as He and the Father are one. (John 17) Listen:

9 "I pray for them. I do not pray for the world but for those whom You have given Me, for they are Yours. 10 And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. 11 Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are. 12 While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of t ...
