Phil 2 – And He(Jesus) did not consider equality with God as something to be clutched and retained at all hazards but himself He emptied, himself He made void, taken on the form of a bond slave.
John 13 -Jesus knowing that all things the Father gave into His hands and that from God He had come and to God He was departing, arises from the supper and lays aside His outer garments and having taken a towel, He bound it around Himself.
Luke 2- Mary, you found favor in the presence of God. And behold: you shall conceive in your womb and you shall give birth to a son…and He shall reign as King over the house of Jacob forever and of His kingdom there shall be no end. Mary said…How shall this be possible?…The Holy Spirit shall come upon you, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow you.
These are the scriptures I was meditating on last night and this morning during worship. Holy Spirit was showing me how when Jesus arose from the supper, in John, that it was a prophetic picture or acting out what had occurred when He left heaven to enter the earth. At the table communing with the Father receiving from the Father, He – Jesus, arose from the table and laid aside that which He was and bound flesh to Himself. At this precise moment on the earth a betrothed young virgin bride was being overshadowed by Holy Spirit to conceive in her and do in her what she is incapable of doing herself. Conceive and bring forth the Son of God, the kingdom of heaven into the earth.
I heard the Lord say, I am now seated at the right hand of the Father. As I arise to come forth in My fullness, laying nothing aside, once again the Holy Spirit will come upon, and the power of the Most High shall overshadow a betrothed young bride(the church), without blemish or wrinkle, with favor in the presence of God, to conceive in her and bring forth that which she is incapable of. This betrothed bride will bring forth and birth the kingdom of God, sons of God, many sons of Glory.
Zachariah 9
Even now the Lord is moving to restore twice as much. This move is unto the restoration of the testimony of Jesus in the earth. Calling out a people, a vessel, who will become one with Him. He has laid hold of His bride with a view to helping her.
