Beloved, You were not made for the world. You were made for the King. Not for mixture, but for fire. Not for compromise, but for communion. Not to be used, but to belong—fully, joyfully, eternally—to Yeshua, your Bridegroom and King.
You are His Bride. And this is the season of engagement.
He is calling you to be set apart, adorned in holiness, washed in purity, and ready for the wedding supper of the Lamb.
Holiness: Set Apart for El Kadosh
“You shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.” — Leviticus 19:2, NASB
“But like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior.” — 1 Peter 1:15, NASB
Holiness means to be set apart for God alone.
It is not merely moral excellence—it is belonging. It is the divine seal of consecration, marking you for sacred service and intimate worship before El Kadosh, the Holy God.
For men, holiness confronts the sin of self-exaltation—the drive to be independent, powerful, and admired apart from God.
Lay down your ambition. The throne is already taken.
For women, holiness confronts the sin of idolatrous dependency—the pull to find identity, security, or approval in people or roles rather than in God.
Lay down your fears. The Bridegroom is your covering.
Holiness calls both to surrender.
Both: Belong wholly to the Lord.
Come out from what is common. Come into what is holy.
This is the first step of love: to leave all lesser things for the One who is worthy.
Purity: The Heart That Sees God
“Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” — Matthew 5:8, NASB
“Let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.” — 2 Corinthians 7:1, NASB
Talking with God face to face
Purity is the inward condition—a heart free from contamination, deception, and mixture. It is not naïve—it is clean. It is not weak—it is ready to see clearly, to worship without distortion, and to walk without stumbling.
Sin stains men most often through lust, anger, and unchecked appetite—the war of the flesh.
For women, impurity often enters through envy, insecurity, comparison, and emotional idolatry—the war of the soul.
But purity restores clarity and communion.
It is the fragrance of the Bride who keeps her lamp burning.
It is the scent of oil on the hair of the one who has sat at the Bridegroom’s feet.
Engaged to the Holy One
“I betrothed you to one Husband, to present you as a pure virgin to Christ.” — 2 Corinthians 11:2, NASB
Church, you are not your own. You are not free to blend with the world, to flirt with Babylon, to taste both the cup of demons and the cup of the Lord. You are engaged—and engagement demands faithfulness.
You are not just waiting—you are preparing.
You are not watching the clock—you are watching the skies.
You are not making yourself relevant—you are making yourself ready.
This is the hour to return to your First Love.
To shed every garment stained with self, and be clothed in fine linen—bright, clean, and holy.
Cleave to the One Who Cleaves to You
“The one who joins himself to the Lord is one spirit with Him.” — 1 Corinthians 6:17, NASB
This is not the time for divided loyalty or distracted hearts.
The world will demand your opinions. The enemy will provoke your flesh. But the Bridegroom calls you to cleave.
Cleave to Yeshua:
In worship, where no one sees.
In obedience, when no one agrees.
In love, when the fire costs you everything.
You were not saved for status. You were saved for union.
Abide Until the Wedding Comes
“And so we shall always be with the Lord.” — 1 Thessalonians 4:17, NASB
Do not drift. Do not slumber. Abide. Abide in the Vine.
The banqueting house is prepared. The banner overhead is love. And the Bridegroom is nearer now than when you first believed.
This is the call:
Come out—into holiness.
Stay pure—guard your devotion.
Cleave—into covenant.
Abide—into eternal union.
Final Plea to the Bride
Holiness is your robe.
Purity is your fragrance.
Love is your oil.
You are not a slave. You are not a servant. You are not a platform. You are the Bride of Christ.
Return to your place. Return to your purpose. Come out, and cleave.
“The Spirit and the bride say, ‘Come.’ And the one who hears, say, ‘Come.’” — Revelation 22:17, NASB
