My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away (Song of Solomon 2:10). That is the Bride of Christ speaking of her Beloved Groom. She is His love, and He wants her to come away with Him.

Jesus is saying to His Bride, Come away from the cares of this life and spend time with me. You have cleansed yourselves from the world. You are so fair to the Holy Spirit and a delight to me. My eye is upon you, and I long to have you with me. The hour is drawing nigh that I will come for you and take you with me to the heavenly City. Come away with me and see the mansions that have been prepared for you.

You must separate yourself and spend time with me. Walk with me daily and feel the touch of my hand upon you. Feel my love flowing to you. I long to spend much time with you, and there are so many things I want to tell you in your final walk. There is so much I want of you now that you could not have done yesterday. I died so you might wear my robe of righteousness, and I am proud of you.

Your imperfections have vanished, and you have adorned yourself with my fruit through the Holy Spirit. You took Him in to be your teacher and guide, and His power works within you. You have never actually seen me, yet you know in your heart what I look like because the Spirit has taught you so much about me. I am your love, and you are my love. I adore you, and you adore me.

Get Away with the Lord

You must walk with your Beloved in this final hour. He has called you away from this world of strife into the inner chamber of consecration, and you must heed the call. You must decide you do want fellowship with your Lord. You must walk with your hand in His; and you must want His love, His presence and His smile more than anything else.

You must decide to sacrifice for your Lord. You must deny self and your loved ones even if it hurts them. Your family may not understand why you have to be shut away from them to read the Word, pray and meditate on the Lord; but you must put your Beloved first. You must rise up and say, “My Beloved is all mine, and I want to spend much time with Him. He can call me any hour of the day or night, and I will drop whatever I’m doing to answer Him.”

This is a marvelous hour of God’s mighty Spirit, love and power; and your Beloved is saying, Come away with me, my child, my fair one, my lovable one. Come and be with me, and I will love you with tender care. Come, and I will bless you with my love like you have never been blessed before. I will lift you up. I will be the source of your gladness of heart. I will give you Heaven’s happiness to enjoy even before you leave the Earth. I will give you joy that comes straight from the throne of God. It will pour to you as mighty rivers because you are mine, and I am yours.

Come into my innermost chamber of peace and get rid of your distress. Come into my inner chamber of light and get rid of the darkness. Come into my chamber of the knowledge of this hour and the prophecies that are being fulfilled. I am working with a miracle hand.

My Bride’s eyes are anointed with my glory, and her ears are anointed with my strength as she hears the whole Word of God. She must rise up to do my whole will. She must shut herself away with me and pay the price.

Yield to the Holy Spirit

As a member of the bridal company, you must fall at the feet of your Beloved today and be an instrument of clay that is purified, glorified and made ready for the Master’s use. You must be willing to do His work in perfection. Yes, you are still human, and you will have faults; but you must be perfect in spirit before the Lord and emerge into something great and wonderful for Him through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus made the Holy Ghost available to us because He knew we would need Him. Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, He said, Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter [the Holy Ghost] will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you (John 16:7).

You must yield completely to the Holy Spirit and allow Him to put you on the operating table of the Lord. There, He will take out of you anything unlike God and put in things that are of God so you will be valuable to the Kingdom. You can’t be so wrapped up in your home, your job and your family that you don’t hear the call of the Lord. His voice must be louder to you than any other voice, and you must allow the Holy Spirit to mold and make you.

The Holy Spirit wants to prepare the soil of your soul so His fruits will grow in your life. He will work to plant the fruit of patience within you so you can wait on the Lord. He will plant the fruit of love within your heart so it will possess you in this final hour. He will plant the joy of Heaven so it will flow out from you to others.

Through the power of the Holy Ghost, you can have all the greatness of your Beloved. You can have His knowledge for this hour. You can have His wisdom and glory, His strength and power, His light and direction. Your Beloved has made all His promises available to you, and He will supply everything you need and more.

Divinity Lives Within

No human being can accomplish in you what the Holy Spirit can because He goes inside you and explores avenues of your life that even you don’t understand. Then from your innermost being, the Spirit flows the things of God out to others; and it draws people to you. Your Beloved says, I live within you through the power of my Spirit, and I make you great because I am great.

When the Lord was leading the Israelites through the wilderness, He went before them by day in a pillar of a cloud, to lead them the way; and by night in a pillar of fire, to give them light; to go by day and night (Exodus 13:21).

Today, God is no longer in the cloud or the fire; He clothes Himself in houses of clay and lives inside His children. For ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people (II Corinthians 6:16). I can feel the touch of my Beloved as He walks with me and caresses me, and it thrills me through and through. You must feel Him too and walk in the strength of that touch.

When your Beloved is inside you, people will see Christ’s love, peace and laughter in you. You won’t have to tell them you have Jesus; they will see Him in you, and they will be drawn to you. His Spirit will put new life into you, and it will make the valleys more comfortable places to dwell. Without Him, you will have only heartache and despair.

Your Beloved has spread a table before you, and all you have to do is reach out and take whatever you need. He is serving His Bride well and giving her many gifts. Don’t say you’re not worthy because the power of the Lord dwelling within you makes you worthy.

The Groom Loves His Bride

Our Beloved longs to be with His Bride; and He is saying, It’s almost time for my beloved Bride to come home with me. I am her Beloved, and she is mine; and she is ready to leave the Earth. She is intoxicated with my love; her eyes are anointed with my Spirit, and she is looking beyond this earthly life. My words have become living reality to her, and she knows I mean what I say. My words leap from the pages of my holy Word into her heart, and she is putting them into action.

My Bride has given herself so completely over to my Spirit. I see her growth, and I see the beautiful, lovable creature she has blossomed into. I thought Eve was the most beautiful human creature I had ever seen or ever would see; but now, my Bride looks more beautiful than Eve.

My Bride reaches out for the gifts I offer her, but she is not after me because of what I give her. She has fallen completely in love with me. In the past, she would call upon me when she needed me; but now she is saying, “I need you to linger with me. I love your fragrance, your Spirit and your wonderful love.” She has come into the knowledge of my love and understanding for her; and she says, “Come, I need you. Come and dwell with me. I need to be with you all the time, and I am not really satisfied unless you are nigh unto me. Just the fragrance of you changes me completely.

Oh, my Beloved, I am a different person when I am with you. Everything fades away when I am in your presence, and nothing seems to matter except being with you. I feel only peace, joy and gladness of heart whenever I am with you, my Beloved.”

The Bride Is Set Apart

The Bride is a great mystery to the people of this world because she is totally dedicated and consecrated to her Beloved, and they have never seen anyone like her before. She is so yielded to her Groom that she lets the whole world go by. She gets prayers answered that those in the world never thought could be. Seemingly impossible miracles are performed in her presence, and those miracles are shaking people because they don’t understand what they are all about.

Most people think Jesus is dead, but the Bride is making her Beloved alive to people wherever she goes. He is her Groom, and she walks and talks with Him daily with her hand in His. She feels His presence, and they delight in one another. Their moments together have become so blessed and treasured that their separation cannot last much longer.

The Groom longs for His beloved Bride, and the Bride longs for her Beloved Groom. His fragrance doesn’t linger long enough for her, and she wants Him by her side night and day. She no longer wants the night to separate Him from her, and that hour of no separation is coming. Living in His presence all the time is now her way of life.

It’s almost midnight, and the Bride will soon retire from her labors. Then she will enter through the beautiful gates of Glory that have been so carefully built for her, and she will walk the streets of gold that have been paved for her.

God Wants Your Love

The cry of the Bride of Christ’s heart today is, I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine (Song of Solomon 6:3). I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me (Song of Solomon 7:10). The Bride knows that her Beloved longs for her. He has become restless and is no longer contented without her. He is just as anxious to be with her as she is to be with Him. It is definitely not a one-sided love affair.

God had a one-sided love affair with the children of Israel, but that is not what He had wanted. Every once in a while, the people would acknowledge God and their love for Him; but most of the time, they either complained about Him or forgot all about Him. The Bride of Christ must never be that way. Her marriage to her Beloved must be a perfect, holy union and nothing can ever interfere with it.

My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies (Song of Solomon 2:16). The lilies are those who are members of the Bride of Christ, and her Beloved is her lily as well. He tells her, I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys (Song of Solomon 2:1). The Groom dwells among the lilies today as He lives in His children through the power of the Holy Ghost.

The Bride must shut herself away with her Beloved whenever she can. She can’t hold His hand, look into His eyes and tell Him face to face how much she loves Him just yet; but that day is coming very soon. Her yearning for her Beloved must overwhelm her to the point that she can hardly contain it. That must be how Elijah felt just before he was raptured. Oh, hallelujah!

Strive to Be like Jesus

You can have the fragrance of your Beloved, and it is so important that you do. When you run across someone who smells really good, you may wonder what type of perfume or cologne they are wearing. Once the person leaves, you may forget about it until you meet them again. That is the way some people are with Jesus. When He moves in close to them with His fragrance and His presence, they want those things; but they aren’t willing to pay the price to have them and keep them, so He withdraws.

You have to decide you will do whatever it takes to receive what the Lord is offering you today. You have to want to be like Him. You have to want to carry His presence and His fragrance through the power of the Holy Spirit.

It’s wonderful to be around people who carry the fragrance of the Lord, and you can tell the difference when you meet people who don’t have it. You may go to work and be surrounded by the stinky odor of the world. Then out of all that stench may come forth a bright, shining Christian who is Spirit-filled and has the glory of the Lord upon them. Oh, what a beautiful and welcome fragrance that is. Surely you will think Heaven has come down. It will be so wonderful when we finally get away from the stink of this world for good.

You Must Forgive

The fragrance of your Beloved carries love, peace, joy and patience. It carries divine forgiveness. Do you forgive people; or do you bark at them as if you are a dog, and they have stolen your bone? Your Beloved won’t linger with you when you are not willing to forgive others. Jesus said, For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses (Matthew 6:14,15). That’s what’s wrong with a lot of marriages today—the husband and wife won’t forgive each other, so they argue and fight. The fragrance of the Lord can’t be found anywhere in that home.

When two human beings live together, they will step on each other’s toes every now and then. You can’t be that close to someone and expect that will never happen. That is why husbands and wives must love each other enough to be able to forgive one another.

If you had a good mom, I’m sure she cured a lot of toes with her kiss of love; it was better than any medicine. She could heal a broken heart instantly and stop your tears quicker than anyone else. She could reach out and touch your head and make you feel good all over. All sadness vanished with her touch of love.

God’s love is even greater than a mother’s love, but some of you won’t use that love to forgive others or stop any tears. In some cases, you may even cause people to shed more tears. You refuse to heal up any bruised places even though you could if you wanted to. What an awful spirit that is to the Groom. The Lord has allowed fountains of living water to gush for you, but you have contaminated those waters and made them muddy; so no pure waters can flow from you to others.

Carry Peace with You

Some Christians have so many storms because they cause them. Then they wonder why they can’t get rid of them. The Lord will put an end to any storm you didn’t cause yourself, and He will give you divine peace and serenity of mind. If you created your own storm, you will have to change your ways; or the storm will continue because you are the one keeping it stirred up.

What kind of person are you? Do you bring peace to yourself and to those around you, or does a tornado follow you in the door every time you get home? Do you stink up the place; or do you bring a fragrance of peace, love, gentleness and kindness? Is your family happy to see you coming, or do they dread you coming home?

If you are one the Lord calls His Beloved, you have the Groom’s divine love, joy, patience and forgiveness. You have His longsuffering, and you are a blessing wherever you go. Without His touch of divine love, you cannot bless anyone in any great way.

Stop looking for a human touch and look for the touch of divinity. Stop looking for the love and peace of this world and look for the love and peace of Heaven. You will never be disappointed in the things of Heaven. The Word says, For he [Jesus] satisfieth the longing soul, and filleth the hungry soul with goodness (Psalm 107:9).

A Soul-Saving Fragrance

The Bible tells us of a woman who went before Jesus with a box of perfume. And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he [Jesus] sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head (Mark 14:3). She gave Jesus her best, but some people didn’t like it. They had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made (Mark 14:4)?

That woman probably could have sold that expensive ointment and lived for quite a while off the money, but she loved her Lord and the beautiful fragrance that came from Him; and she wanted to try to match it.

Some people are so cheap with the Lord because they won’t get close enough to Him to be drawn by His fragrance into all He has to offer. There’s too much of self and the world between them and the Beloved. When you are close to the Lord, you are ready to give all for Him and His work. When you are close to Him, His fragrance is so intoxicating that nothing but the best will be good enough; and that is the way that woman felt.

When our Beloved died on the Cross, spikes were driven through His hands and His feet and a spear pierced His side. Then the most magnificent fragrance the world had ever experienced came out—the fragrance of Calvary. There had never been a fragrance like it, and it was the fragrance that would draw men and women to their knees to be saved. Fragrances of the Earth last only for a limited amount of time, but the fragrance of Calvary will last for eternity.

Our Beloved Raises the Dead

The fragrance of our Beloved brought miracles and healings when He was on Earth. Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people (Matthew 4:23). Still today, our Beloved is healing and delivering people from all kinds of sicknesses, diseases and bondages.

Jesus carried such an enticing fragrance that a woman who had suffered with an issue of blood for twelve long years simply reached out and touched His garment, and she was made whole. Jesus felt virtue go out of Him, so He turned him about, and when he saw her, he said, Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole from that hour (Matthew 9:22). Still today, people who have been crippled or deformed for years are instantly healed because of our miraculous Beloved.

Jesus even raised the dead. Remember that He stood at Lazarus’ tomb and simply cried, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth (John 11:43,44). Never before had those people known of a fragrance that would bring back the dead, and they were astounded. Oh, they may have heard of it happening long ago in the days of Elijah and Elisha, but they didn’t realize that the same fragrance was standing before them that had brought the Shunammite woman’s son back to life.

And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed. He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD. And he went up, and lay upon the child…and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes (II Kings 4:32,33,34,35). Yes, that fragrance did appear in the Old Testament, but most people didn’t recognize it; and it couldn’t last because the container for it—our Beloved—had not yet been pierced so it could freely cover the Earth.

The Power of the Divine Fragrance

Today, the fragrance of our Beloved will deliver people of anything. It will heal the sick and deliver those who are demon possessed. People can have deliverance from anything. Then on Rapture Day, it will bring every child of God who died before that great day out of their graves.

There is plenty of the fragrance of the Lord available in this last hour, so you should smell good all the time. The fragrance of your Beloved must be in your laughter, in your smile and in your words. Every one of your expressions must be controlled by the Holy Spirit, and you must be a witness for the Lord in all you do and say.

Your Beloved is anxiously waiting for you to finish your work and get in the final harvest; and to do that, you must go forth with your garments smelling like Him. The fragrance of your Beloved is the only cure for a lost and dying world. You may be the only child of God in your family, and the stench of the world in your home may be almost unbearable; but the calming fragrance you carry of your Beloved can change everything as it goes forth to penetrate the hearts of those giving off that foul odor.

Just a Little Longer

Because of your Beloved, you have nothing to fear or worry about. You won’t walk in darkness because He will always give you light. He said, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life (John 8:12). Your Beloved will walk with you today as you delight in Him.

Your Beloved is so gracious that He spreads a table for you every day, and it’s all yours. He is also pouring out His Spirit to you. And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh (Joel 2:28). You have love, peace and strength because of your Beloved; and He is reaching out to you in a greater way than ever before because He needs you to work for Him. You must be willing to say, I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work (John 9:4). I hear His voice crying, Child, hold on. It’s almost time for you to come away with me.

When your Beloved wants you to be with Him, you must drop whatever you’re doing and fall at His feet so He can refresh you and lift you up. But the day is coming when that final call will go forth: Child, come away with me forevermore! Oh, hallelujah! What a day that will be!

Take Jesus as Yours

Lucifer has a horrible odor. You can’t allow the devil into your life in any way and not carry his stench of sin and the pits of hell. If you let him in even just a little bit, you will carry that stench just like a child of God carries the fragrance of her Beloved in Heaven.

If you are not saved today, you are missing out on the beautiful fragrance and fellowship of the Beloved. He is all you could ever want and more, so give your heart to Him right now. Lift your hands and say, Oh, God, I am so lost. I am so sorry I have sinned against you, but I want to give my whole heart to you right now. I believe you died for me, and I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all of my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus. Come on in. If you meant that prayer, Jesus has come.

Let Your Beloved Heal You

Now that the Beloved is yours and lives within, it’s time for you to receive a miracle. But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness [your Beloved] arise with healing in his wings (Malachi 4:2). Our Beloved is nigh unto you through the power of the Spirit, and He is ready to deliver you. You can be free of cancer, diabetes, paralysis, MS, heart trouble or any other affliction you may have. It doesn’t matter what it is because the God of miracles heals all manner of afflictions and diseases.

Lord, I bring the people to you. In the name of Jesus, I inject your miracle power into them through your wonderful gifts of miracles and healings. Heal, in the all-powerful name of Jesus. Cleanse their bodies from all diseases and afflictions and make them whole. Let that healing power flow throughout your body and give God all the glory for every little change until you are made well all over. Then write, email or post a message to social media to let us know what God has done for you.

Being free in your soul and your body is just the beginning. You must go on to receive the glorious baptism in the Holy Ghost. You will not make it to Rapture ground without Him because He is the divine teacher and guide. But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you (John 14:26). Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth (John 16:13).

Just get off to yourself with the Lord and begin praising Him with your whole heart. As you yield more and more to Him, the Holy Ghost will begin to take over and speak through you in a beautiful, heavenly language. It will be an experience of the Lord like nothing else you have ever had before. God bless you today.
