“Prepare! Prepare your heart as a bride would prepare for that special day. Adorn yourself with the righteousness that is in Jesus. Submit to holiness. Become the mirror of the One Who died to attain your love.”

Hebrews 10:14 NIV

…because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy.

1 Peter 1:15-16 NIV

15) But just as he who called you is holy, so be holy in all you do;

16) for it is written: “Be holy, because I am holy.”

Rev. 19:7 KJV 

Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.

So many of us will regret the many wasted moments we’ve squandered in our lifetime, moments that we could’ve spent getting to know our Lord, rather than presenting foolish, self-serving petitions. The Revelation verse above indicates the responsibility of the wife of the Lamb to prepare herself, to make herself ready. It seems to me that the time has come for those who understand the times and seasons—who observe the signs and understand their implications—to awaken from the slumber of selfishness and prepare to please the Lord as their only priority.

Wake up my heart, Lord,
