“All those I dearly love I unmask (rebuke) and train (discipline). So repent and be eager to pursue what is right.
Behold, I’m standing at the door, knocking.
If your heart is open to hear my voice and you open the door within, I will come in to you and feast with you, and you will feast with me.” Revelation 3:19-20 TPT
FN v. 20: Behold, I’m standing at the door, knocking:
The Aramaic can be translated "I have been standing at the door, knocking." Jesus knocking at the door points us to the process of an ancient Jewish wedding invitation. In the days of Jesus, a bridegroom and his father would come to the door of the bride-to-be carrying the betrothal cup of wine and the bride-price. Standing outside, they would knock. If she fully opened the door, she was saying, "Yes, I will be your bride." Jesus and His Father, in the same way, are knocking on the doors of our hearts, inviting us to be the bride of Christ.
The Bridegroom King & Shulamite Bride Song of Songs 5:1-2 TPT:
“I have gathered from your heart, my equal, my bride, I have gathered from my garden all my sacred spices—even my myrrh. I have tasted and enjoyed my wine within you. I have tasted with pleasure my pure milk, my honeycomb, which you yield to me. I delight in gathering my sacred spice, all the fruits of my life I have gathered from within you, my paradise garden. Come, all my friends— feast upon my bride, all you revelers of my palace. Feast on her, my lovers! Drink and drink, and drink again, until you can take no more. Drink the wine of her love. Take all you desire, you priests. My life within her will become your feast.
After this I let my devotion slumber, but my heart for him stayed awake. I had a dream. I dreamed of my beloved— he was coming to me in the darkness of night. The melody of the man I love awakened me. I heard his knock at my heart’s door as he pleaded with me: Arise, my love. Open your heart, my darling, deeper still to me. Will you receive me this dark night? There is no one else but you, my friend, my equal. I need you this night to arise and come be with me. You are my pure, loyal dove, a perfect partner for me. My flawless one, will you arise? For my heaviness and tears are more than I can bear. I have spent myself for you throughout the dark night.”
Yahweh, and my Bridegroom Yeshua, this is how You came to me, knocking on the door of my heart! You were longing to come into my heart, to awaken my dormant spirit with the purity of Your Holy Spirit and feast with me. This is the place where You will never leave nor forsake me to complete the GOOD WORK, You anointed and appointed me for from before the foundations of earth were formed! Hallelujah! AMEN 🙌🏻🔥❤️🔥
