The main message for Revelations 19:7 is that the bride must be ready not only in outward appearance, but also in her heart. Her readiness determines when she appears at the wedding. Instead of asking when Jesus will return, we should consider whether we ourselves are prepared. We do not know the timing of the wedding, so we must focus on preparing ourselves now. Paying attention to our current state is more important than speculating about the future.

The bride is not ready simply because her hair is done, her nails done, or she wears the right dress. True readiness is shown in her loyalty—her steadfast commitment and faithfulness make her prepared for the wedding, not just her outward appearance.

John 13.34

Peter understood that he had to lay down his life in order to follow Jesus to the beyond. Peter thought that he was ready, but he was not. Jesus replied that Peter would deny Him three times. There was internal work yet to be completed. He was not ready.

Patience is the lifeline through which we receive God’s promises. In order to go to the Kingdom, we have to go through great tribulations. We must have the ability to go through hardship. Being ready is being altar-ready. Fire falls on the altar.

Psalm 105.18-19

His feet hurt with shackles; He was put in chains of iron,

19 Until the time that his word [of prophecy regarding his brothers] came true,

The word of the Lord tested and refined him.

Joseph was a slave, but during this time, God was refining his character. God allows just enough to bring us up to the strength required for fulfilling our purpose. As we are going through our lives, He is removing the corrosion. Iron must be strengthened so that it will not break or bend under stress.

There are three things we will be tested on:

* Ability

* Character

* Endurance

A KEY OF SPIRITUAL MATURITY

Endure hardship as a good soldier, allowing patience to bring forth its perfect work. That you may be perfect (mature), wanting nothing. (II Timothy 2:3 & James 1:4)

Once we launch out, we cannot go back. Who are the actual brides of Christ? Those who are ready. Sometimes you may think that it is not your time, but it is. Get ready. God loves the real you. God loves the real you. He demonstrated this by going first.
