God's Spiritual Marriage

So you want to be a Christian. You have been to the altar, cried your tears and used the Kleenex offered by the so-called Christian comforting you. Well, I hate to be the one to burst your bubble, but that is not how you get “there.” Christianity is not an event. It is a process that involves God's Spiritual Marriage to you and your Soul. You begin this process as a child. You are Called by Yeshua. It is a tugging at your heart, but also a clear, loving Voice. You will never forget that Voice for the rest of your life. Odds are that you don’t even remember that event. Most parents “beat” the Spiritual aspects of a child’s life right out of them. So, the Calling of Yeshua would not necessarily be an event your little child’s mind would want to remember. Yeshua compared the Church to His Bride many times. To help you in this life's Journey, He brings you an imaginary friend as a child! Spiritual buddies to play with. Playing innocent games with your imaginary friend were great times. Then, the imaginary friend had to go on its way because you had to grow up and do other things that were more important to your parents. Things like learning to behave in public, along with learning to put on a show for friends and neighbors using the talents you had been taught by your parents. Before you know it it's time to start school.

Perhaps, we can trigger some memories in your mind. One of the first things I remember about my imaginary friend was playing in the night, under the covers, like we were in Gulliver’s Travels. There were the afternoons in the living room, playing behind the furniture. I would use straight pins to affix pictures of family things to the backs of chairs and the “devan” (couch). I knew from these play times, that being a wife and mother was my Destiny. There was never a time in my childhood that I would have guessed that I would become a Chemical Engineer and have a career outside my home. My future husband and my children were my Goal in life from my earliest memories. One of the sheer curtains on the window made a perfect veil. Pretending to be a bride was one of my favorite playtimes. In my heart and soul, I Knew my future husband from about age 2 years.

The Catholics have written on Spiritual Marriage. It is a Spiritual Event that you experience. I have had this experience and Knew from that time on that there was one, specific man who was to be my future husband. The Jews call it betrothal. Being set apart for that perfect match of a man, then living your life devoted to him. Once you have experienced the Spiritual Marriage, there will be no man, except that one man who will satisfy you as a woman. He will Know in his Soul what you need and what will make you happy. He is your Diamond. You are his Pearl. It is all so Beautiful. I wish that I was able to describe it so much better.

Parents get involved and choose the man who is “best” for you. Or, you sign on to a singles website that professes to know you better than anyone else. The website will find your perfect match through their questionaire! Of course, there is always the church family who know the best match for you. There is marrying for money, for sex, for prestige, for employment, for golfing buddies and so forth. There are matchmakers. Anything that will take you away from that one sure Opportunity for Love in your life.

This Spiritual Marriage is very much like our Relationship with Yeshua. As a Christian, you undergo pain from Spiritual Attack, oppression from those who have not undergone the rebirth, abuse from those who will misuse you because of your kindness and loving nature, harassment from employers who expect you to bow down to them when you cannot, verbal attacks from so-called Christians because they cannot live up to the standards you must live by, abandonment and neglect by your family because they cannot relate to your life, and frustration from most everyone you meet because you cannot be manipulated or controlled. There is only room for one God in your life.

The trip to the altar was the result of Spiritual Attack. The Spiritual Marriage to Yeshua, and eventually to your Spiritual Godly spouse, is a result of God’s Love for you. There are no tears and no regrets. From the time you experience the Spiritual Marriage there will be no other man, or God, for you. The mankind Christian church and other people will let you down. God will never let you down. People will not be there for you when you need it most. Yeshua was and is here for you Eternally. True Love will be with you Always.
