A Dream: The Bride is not Ready

This dream I had on December 7, 2020 was about a bride who was not ready on her wedding day. I was the bride in the dream but I know that I was also a representation of the Church and the groom represents the Lord Jesus Christ. I know this because since 2011, I have been dreaming of brides and the first time I had those successively drove me to my knees to understand why which the Lord woke me up with His answer so audible in my spirit. He said, “The bride is the Church.”

Instantly, I understood the clear message of the dreams and heard the Spirit of the Lord said, “I am not coming to a filthy and immoral bride. I will shake the Church and cleanse and purify her.” This led me to prayer and intercession for the Church.

Usually, towards the end of every year the Lord would give me a dream, showing me what lies ahead. But for the past two or three years I haven’t received any although a year would not pass without Him giving me a prophetic dream. The frequency, however, had lessen and I believe I know why. So, in this recent dream, the Lord’s warning is not just for the Church but for me as well.

Another note, the groom in this recent dream is a friend who is married to my former roommate who was the bride in one of my dreams in 2011. Their being a couple is known in this dream, so, I know in my heart this dream is symbolic. I knew when I woke up, the first wife refers to Israel.

Isaiah 54:5

For your Maker is your husband, The Lord of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.

The Dream

In this dream the groom was on his way, all dressed up for our wedding. I was amused, obviously not taking seriously that I was not prepared. I was like, “What? Is it today?”

I was not dressed up, the white wedding gown from the groom spread before me, I wondered if I would be ready in time for the ceremony as I saw that my toes still needed pedicure. I heard my son, John Elijah, said he would go ahead to make sure everything is ready. It was getting dark and I saw the disappointment in the eyes of the groom as he caught me unprepared. End of dream.

The first thing I did when I woke up was repent. I repented for the lack of passion in my heart as I used to have, for the coming of the Lord. It was a slow drifting from the deepest passion I had- Jesus/Yeshua, my Lord and Messiah. My heart was crowded with many things, including between doing things for Him and pursuing Him; between being a Mary or a Martha. I used to be doing a Mary thing more than a Martha. Though I knew this in my heart all along and wanted to change course, I just could not get myself back to where I left off. I needed His help and this dream is one of the answers to this prayer.

If you are in this situation, know that the Lord longs for your undivided, uncompromised love and devotion. That is the way to prepare for His coming. Return to your first love and let your heart burn with passion for Him alone. Days ahead are rough we need to focus on Him more than ever.

Much love in Yeshua,
