CHILDREN OF THE LORD ARISE … Now is not the time to be bashful. If you don’t strip, God  will strip you, because you are a chosen vessel of honor, but he needs you to be a vessel of purity –
as a bride adorned for her bridegroom. He wants you to let go of all the things of this world that seem so pleasurable – (see Ephesians 5: 3 – 5). Now is the time to get naked with God. Get into
his bedchamber and bare your soul before him for his inspection. You can’t make it happen by  yourself. Let go of all your inhibitions – your doubts, your fears, your feelings of anger and hatred,
and other elements of discord. No need to worry about what the future holds. Give yourself  wholly unto the Lord, “That he might sanctify and cleanse (you) with the washing of the word.”
(Ephesians 5:26) Behold the bridegroom cometh. Let the bride that has been “adorned for her husband” (Revelation 21:2) enter into the chamber and wait for his arrival … that she may be
presented to him, “not having spot or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that (she) should be holy and without blemish.”
