Peace and grace in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew25:6
25:6 "And at midnight a cry was heard: 'Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!'
The second coming of Jesus is drawing near. We must prepare ourselves to greet His second coming, so we can enter the New Jerusalem.
Two things that we must prepare are as follows:
Let us be watchful, all of the ten virgins slumbered and slept. They all were negligent at midnight.
Ephesians5:14
5:14 Therefore He says: "Awake, you who sleep, Arise from the dead, And Christ will give you light."
We must always experience the spiritual revival through the Bride Tidings.
Only the Bride Tidings or the true teaching Word that is sharper than any two-edge of sword can revive the church of God from the spiritual sleep.
The facts found within the spiritual revivalare as follows:
Thus, the atmosphere of the spiritual revival happens in shepherding, so the lamp will keep on burning and the darkness cannot control us.
The resultsare as follows:
God blesses us.

Ephesians5:19
5:19 speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord,

The facts found within itare as follows:- Living in humbleness, namely we can confess the sin to God and others. We are also able to accept the reality and admit the other's superiority.
- Living in the fear of the Lord.

22:12 And He said, "Do not lay your hand on the lad, or do anything to him; for now I know that you fear God, since you have not withheld your son, your only son, from Me."
The fear of the LORD means giving all to God, including our sins. Anything that we sacrifice for God will not be in vain.
