Remember Yahusha's Bride is still in the courtship stage, preparing herself (rehearsing her marriage behaviour) for the grand Wedding Feast that will occur after His soon return . . .
HOW DO WE ENTER YAHUSHA'S BRIDE ?
Step One - REPENTANCE.
When we feel supernaturally drawn by Yahusha we need to see His instructions for what they really are: THE ONLY TRUE DEFINITION OF GOOD AND EVIL IN THIS WORLD. If a genuine person approaches Yahusha with any self-righteousness in them, (i.e. thinking they are a good person) then reading the Ten Commandments will soon burn and bring conviction, because none of us has ANY good in us (in our fleshly bodies). The heart of mankind is so desperately wicked, evil above all things and in need of true deliverance. All of us have sinned and fallen short, and IN THE EYES OF YAHUSHA SIN IS SIN - from a lie, to murder, sexual depravity, not resting on the Shabath and yes..... not using His true Name! It doesn't matter what you've been taught previously, the Ten Commandments teach us what LAWLESSNESS is. Infact breaking any of His instructions is to be living outside His Covenant and it's actually called witchcraft (spiritual adultery) and all mankind must repent of such behaviour . . .
No one comes to the Father YAHUAH in repentance unless YAHUSHA draws them through the power of His Ruach. You may look back on your life and see the influence and power of Yahusha's Ruach guiding, convicting and leading you through each phase and movement you have travelled (even though you didn't know Him or His Name) . . . you may have experienced much repentance, remorse, even change and healing in your life (even though still in religion) - BUT NOW YOU ARE HERE . . . being told you can actually have the Creator of the Universe living INSIDE you, no longer merely externally influencing you, but truely INHABITING YOU. You have the opportunity to hear His voice and feel His power surging through you. There is a huge difference.
Do you want to be a friend, a distant aquaintance of the Bridegroom? Or be His Bride and lover? Prophets of old were guided and spoken to by the Creator, but it was not until Yahusha ascended and returned to the Throneroom that His Ruach (essence/breath/power) was poured out into the hearts of men and women, through the power of His broken body and shed blood, which re-connected mankind with the Father. This is the whole purpose of His death - so that we may have Him inside us, possessing, training, flogging, disciplining, and perfecting us so that we bear the right fruit (behaviour) - so if He's not inside you then WHAT ARE YOU REALLY EXPERIENCING? .... truth or a delusion ??
Step Two - WATER IMMERSION.
Belief without obedience is worthless. The Hebrew word for 'Belief' implies THOUGHT + ACTION otherwise it is not true belief. Our outward sign of a good conscience and our repentance is to go to the waters and be Immersed into Yahusha's ONLY SAVING - ONE TRUE NAME and Yahusha is the ONLY Name that actually means "Yah is my Deliverance" (Jesus & Yeshua are false counterfeit names). Remember this is a personal experience between you and your Creator. No one else need be present and you can be immersed in any body of water deep enough for your whole body to be submerged in. It is not a huge song and dance, it is a quick, simple exercise which can take only minutes - but it's eternal significance is tremendous . . .
As we step into the water we repent for living disobediently, we thank Yahusha for shedding His blood to deliver us and ask to have His Name sealed on our foreheads. We cry out for Deliverance from the evil that has controlled us our entires lives - pledging our obedience and service to His desire in our lives - asking for His Ruach to come and inhabit us, understanding that our Immersion is the fulfilled circumcision of our hearts.
In the times of the shadows, circumcision was to be done in the flesh and the Covenant was written on stone. Today our hearts are circumcised, cut into by the power of Yahusha's Ruach, to make it soft in order for Yahusha's Turah (instructions/words) to be written on it.
YOU WILL COME OUT OF THE WATER A NEW CREATION, ADOPTED AND GRAFTED INTO THE ONE TRUE VINE YAHUSHA, A NEW CITIZEN OF HIS BRIDE, HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE YISHARAL (not to be mistaken for the geographical place) . . .
Step Three - READ AND BEHAVE.
You will NEED for no one to teach you for Yahusha promises to lead you, guide you and teach you by His Ruach through His Turah. Upon coming out of the water the Father and Son (which are One) will come within you and sit on the throne of your heart, making you a new living dwelling place for His esteem and purposes. We are given a down-payment of His Ruach and we must exercise our belief and stand on what we have heard from Yahusha each day, reading the Scriptures and begin behaving obediently.
Yahusha puts His Bride into the FIREY TESTPIT to see whether her behaviour will stand on His truth and endure or whether her behaviour will crumble and burn up when tested (see the parable of the sower and the seed). Hebrews 12 is a very important text to read when first Immersed in order to understand that Yahusha will flog, rebuke, chastise and discipline those He loves and considers His sons and daughters. If we refuse His training we will be treated as illegitimate and not His (He let's us make our choice). He begins training us so that we can overcome all that has held us captive and so we will start bearing the peaceable fruits of righteous (9 fruits of the spirit = obedient behaviour).
Get yourself a copy of the BYNV Scriptures, which is the most accurate Ruach - Inspired Translation/ Transliteration to date, having restored the Key of Knowledge (Name of the Father Yahuah) and Messiah Yahusha and made the text much more clear and readable for the younger generations. Read this text with fresh new eyes and take in the whole correct context of everything you read, not relying on what you've been taught but hearing Yahusha's Voice as He cleanses your mind/heart with the washing of the clean water of His Turah . . .
Start practising the 3 Rules in your day (which are a BEHAVIOURAL summary of every Scripture) and you will run faster than anyone else - your race of overcoming - bearing the fruit (correct behaviour - which is our only true worship) and your life will become a sweet-smelling fragrance in the nostrils of your Bridegroom Yahusha as He readies you for the Wedding Feast . . .
