Last
week I went to Luis Angel’s and Nallely’s wedding. They are a beautiful couple
and it was a simple wedding, but special. It was an honor for me to be invited
and I was glad to go. And it was an opportunity to touch more lives for the
Kingdom of God. But even a simple weddings can have its problems. In this particular
one Nallely is the only one in her family that is a Christian the rest are
Catholic, so most of her family didn’t come.
However, her father and a sister
came, he was able to walk with her and gave her away in the
ceremony, as the sister sat with her father.
It was a disappointment about the
mother, but I told Ana Gabriela that the mother and family would change in time
as God worked on their hearts.

After
the wedding there was a reception at another location and more people came, but
there was still another problem. The building for the reception as in a
neighborhood and so all the parking was on the street and as more cars and
guest came so did so uninvited guest—the police. It seem to be an bad practise of
the police wanting or extorting money for themselves at events by making it an embarrassing situation for others. But Gaberilo stood his ground as more police
came with flashing light, and I prayed that the Higher Authority would prevail.
Finally after an hour they left, but no money was given.

It
seems every wedding and marriage has its problems, even in the Kingdom of God.
Some guest don’t come when they are invited and other don’t come wearing the
proper attire or garment. Some don’t even have enough oil for their lamps to
stay lit and most fall asleep while waiting, not realizing they can be in the
wedding now and enjoy the marriage feast and the celebration by faith.
As
the Bride of Christ and sons of God, we are One in Him and the Heavenly Father.
And everything He has is already given us now to receive by faith. Most of
these truths are lost due to lies and deceptions from an uninvited guest, satan
and his demons. They even tell people they’re not “good enough.” There are also
other reasons for this, such as bad teaching and religious leaders who set bad examples, and
extort money from them and tell people they have to die before they can receive
the “Good Life” and their mansion. As a result many people still live in bondage and in fear
unnecessarily.
However,
as His Bride I am free and I’m feasting with Jesus. I eat and drink Him and with Him, even if it’s just a
can of Campbell’s soup, and so can ever son and daughter of God. I’m sitting at the table with Abraham, Isaac
and Jacob and my Husband who sits at the head of the table. I have already
received my robe, my shoes and a beautiful ring and a sword from Him. I also have
a crown, which I have laid at His nail scared feet.
My Husband has restored my
soul and filled my life with many wonderful things and promises. And I walk with
Him in the cool of the day and we share the same authority, house, faith, hope
and vision forever.
Regardless
of how anyone’s earthly marriage goes or ends, our marriage to Christ is full
of Love, Peace, and Joy that will last for Eternity.
