The Ministry Of The Bride Of Christ


Today, The Bride Of Christ has the ministry, 
That John the Baptist had in his day.
Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.” 
(Matthew 3:3)

Today, in the spiritual desert of the humanity, 
In every nation on earth,
The Bride of Christ is preaching,
'Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is hear.'
The Day Of The Lord is near.

To Christians she is saying:
Worldly Christian, repent, and flee the coming wrath.
Produce fruit in keeping with the name you claim, Christ Jesus.
Come, be baptized, immersed, in the Holy Spirit and with fire.
Christ Jesus is coming soon!

Do not think that because you call yourself a Christian
You will escape the coming wrath.
Out of stones Christ Jesus can raise up Christians.
His ax is already at the root of Christians 
Who do not produce good fruit.
Every Christian that does not produce good fruit
Will be cut down and thrown into the fire.
His winowing fork is in His hand, 
And He is clearing His threshing floor,
Gathering the wheat into His barn
And burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.

John The Baptist Came To, Israel, The Church Of His Day
In those day John the Baptist came,
Preaching in the Desert of Judea and saying,
'Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.'
This is he who was spoken of through the prophet Isaiah:

A voice of one calling in the desert,
'Prepare the way for the Lord, make straight paths for Him.'

John's clothes were made of camel's hair,
And he had a leather belt around his waist.
His food was locusts and wild honey.
People went out to him from Jerusalem
And all Judea and the whole region of the Jordan.
Confessing their sins, they were baptized by him in the Jordan River.

But when he saw many of the Pharisees and Sadducees
Coming to where he was baptizing, he said to them:
'You brood of vipers!
Who warned you to flee from the coming Wrath?
Produce fruit in keeping with repentance.
And do no think you can say to yourselves,
'We have Abraham as our father.'
I tell you that out of these stones 
God can raise up children for Abraham.
The ax is already at the root of the trees,
And every tree that does not produce good fruit will be cut down
And thrown into the fire.

'I baptize you with water for repentance.
But One who is more powerful than I, 
Whose sandals I am not fit to carry.
He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and with fire.
His winowing fork is in His hand, and He will clear His threshing floor,
Gathering the wheat into his barn
And burning up the chaff with unquenchable fire.' (Matthew 3:1-12)
