February 16, 2007 "The Marriage Of The Bride: The Husband and Wife" (Vision)
[NOTE: This teaching is part of a series of visions and lessons given to Chris Williams by God in February 2007. They were given for a specific reason. This reason becomes very clear as you read them one by one. The visions were given to me on several separate days, but are best read together if possible. You will want to read the following Visions and Teachings together: February 4, 11, 16, 17, 18 and Updates and Summery.

While taking morning communion the following happened:

In the Spirit, I took the flesh/bread of Christ with our Father, in celebration of Christ’s gift and sacrifice for us {see February 4, 2007 "Christ, Our ‘Bread Of Presence’ In Our Father’s Temple"}. We were within Yahweh’s Holy of Holies in Heaven.

I took Christ’s communion as a Priest, under our High Priest Jesus Christ, and understood that my Father and I consumed this sacrifice individually, but also together in memory of Christ Jesus’ sacrifice in behalf of mankind.

While in prayer I became concerned for the three people I love the most. Two are with our Father in Heaven, and one remains here on earth as I do. All of a sudden I became traumatized for the sake of others {The original three are saved and in Christ}. I felt, for the first time, Christ’s love and urgency within myself for the unsaved of the world and those who believe they are saved and may not be. I have always believed that Christ is able to, and will, save all He chooses. I still believe this, however this was the first time I understood, because God caused me to, the love in my Christian brothers and sisters that causes them to worry over another’s salvation.

I began to thank and praise our Father and Jesus for this reality, when I heard Jesus say "take, this is My blood in My Body". I reached for His glass of grape juice/blood and put the glass to my mouth to drink. As I drank this, I again realized that both our Father and I partook of this together, along with all my brothers and sisters who receive Jesus’ sacrifice. Our Father said, "we are one, and you are (1)completed in Me, and I AM (1)completed in you."

I began to cry and thank Him for this miracle. Until then, I had always believed that each individual’s internal transformation was "completed" only in Heaven. He then reminded me that He had shown both me and my sister, Bonnie Thomason, over the last six years, that He was/is perfecting the Wife of Christ on earth before she enters into heaven <Rev :7-8>, as well as in heaven. He had shown us the various steps He was causing the Bride to take, or soon take, in order to walk in Christ’s righteousness <Rev19:7-8>

Through my tears and praise I heard our Father say to get on my knees on the floor, and I did. He said to bow to the floor, and I obeyed. As I did, I saw Jesus standing beside me. Standing with Him were all generations of our sisters and brothers who had walked, and now do walk, in spirit both in heaven and on earth. I was overwhelmed. They were all praying to God with their hands lifted. There were so many I could not see them all. They were all praising God for His "completion" in me, as I represented Christ’s Bride, and all our brothers and sisters in Christ’s Bride, and because our Father was accepting, and had accepted, Christ’s Bride as Christ’s Wife.

Praise God! Christ’s righteousness is more than enough <1 Peter 2:24>. Christ was the first one found "acceptable" before His/our Father, and He purchased our Father’s acceptance for us. This "completion" in Spirit was through Christ’s sacrifice. We can now enter into the Holy of Holies with our Father. We are, because of Christ Jesus, an acceptable Wife. Christ Jesus Himself, through our Father’s Spirit who is holy, prepares us and causes His {Christ’s} own righteousness in each reborn child of God. God’s own image is the only one our Father accepts as "the Wife" for His Son, Christ Jesus. I saw this vision as representing all those on earth and in heaven who are "completed" NOW, or will be shortly, for His "name’s sake" as He has promised.

Are all in Christ "completed" now? No, but all in Christ are saved from sin now. In order to be "complete/completed" one must be reborn into our Father’s own Spirit. This is the Holy Spirit who lives in Christ; and it is Christ’s nature and mind in us that causes us to transform into the image of God. (2)Many who worship in the Spirit will be "completed" before being transported {God insisted I use the word "transported" here}.

This morning, it was the bride who bowed before our Father. Christ and all His brothers and sisters stood beside, and in, Her/me. It was the Wife of Christ who "rose up" to stand beside Christ. All present in spirit, including me, celebrated and rejoiced to see this miracle of miracles.

(1) "completed":
In the February 4, 2007 "Christ, Our ‘Bread Of Presence’ In Our Father’s Temple" (Vision) I said, "As I took communion this morning, and took the bread and Body of Christ into my mouth, my Father and I prayed together for His people. I was instructed to pray "Father bless all peoples, nations and tongues. Bring them, call them, into Christ, into Yourself. Bless them with Yourself. Cause them to come to you, call them, Amen Amen Amen." Then we ate, and enjoyed, the consum-mation of Christ together as one. {consummation: "Completion; fulfillment {full-fill}; and ultimate end or goal (American Heritage Dictionary)".} My "completion" was a result of God commanding me, telling me, what to pray. He saw my heart’s condition and prayed through me on February 4th what was needed.

Please notice that my own "completion" in God, and in today’s Vision, is a direct result of my concern over the "unsaved world" and "my brothers and sisters" "worry over another’s salvation" for the first time.

Old Testament examples of "completed":
Gen 2:1 "Thus the heavens and the earth were completed in all their vast array." NIV
Gen 2:1 "Thus the heavens and the earth, and all the host of them, were finished." NKJV

"OT:3615 kalah... to end... to cease, be finished, perish... to complete, prepare, consume:-accomplish, cease, consume (away),... finish, fulfil, fully,... bring to pass, (1a)wholly reap,..."

(1a) "wholly reap": For me, this definition is particularly interesting because on January 16, 2007 in His message through me, God said, "Remember that the next 3 ½ years are a time of harvest. The final harvest on earth as you know it. Bring to Me heart broken spiritually strong children, who through example have been raised up through My flow through you. Understand, as the original Apostles did, that all efforts are within Christ’s love/heart and nothing is accomplished without Me. Understand and KNOW each day is given over to Me, and My controlling love through My grace in you, Amen Amen and again Amen."

New Testament example of "completed":
[Rev 6:11] "Then a white robe was given to each of them; and it was said to them that they should rest a little while longer, until both the number of their fellow servants and their brethren, who would be killed as they were, (1b)was completed." NKJV

(1b) "was completed": ... (FROM)... to make replete, i.e. (literally) to cram (a net), level up (a hollow), or ... finish ... :KJV - accomplish, ..., (BE) COMPLETE, end ... fill (up), fulfil, (be, make) full (come), fully preach, perfect, supply.

[The above information was taken from ‘Biblesoft's New Exhaustive Strong's Numbers and Concordance with Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary’.]

"Completion" is the result of our Father being able to recognize Christ’s heart in me/us. Christ Jesus died and defeated death and hell for me and my salvation. As my concern and love mirrored Christ’s, my heart longed for the salvation of mankind as He did and does, and my heart became identical to His. God our Father was "completed" in me, as I was in Him, BECAUSE our Father saw Christ’s heart in me/us. Again, it was as a member in Christ’s Wife that I was both completed as an individual and as a member in Her. Christ’s heart is one of unconditional, self sacrificing love.

"Completion" comes through our heart, Christ’s heart and nature in us. This is why Jesus says that if we love, we have completed all other commandments:

[John 13:34-35] "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another." NKJV

[Rom 13:9-10] "For the commandments, ‘You shall not commit adultery, you shall not murder, you shall not steal, you shall not bear false witness, you shall not covet’, and if there is any other commandment , are all summed up in this saying, namely, ‘you shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law." NKJV]

As a member in Christ, and as a member in His Wife, I was "completed". But just as important is the fact that God now considers Christ’s Wife, and all of Her members, "completed". How was I completed? How was Christ’s Wife completed? In this vision, the completion came from a change in my heart: from one of no concern for the unsaved, to extreme concern for the unsaved. This is why Christ came and was sacrificed.

Revelations 19:7-8 tells us, "... His wife has made herself ready. And to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. NKJV Through Her righteous acts Christ’s Wife has prepared Herself. Christ Himself gave us His own righteousness in exchange for our sin. We see that the Wife exercises this "righteousness" which was a gift. God immediately considered Her "completed" as She/I had a change in heart.

Amazingly, God also told me, and confirmed on July 11, 2007, that as the "Wife" was "completed "completed", the " fullness/COMPLETION" OF THE GENTILES {pagans converted into Christ/Christians} has come." He reminded me of the following verses:

[Rom 11:25-32] "For I do not desire, brethren, that you should be ignorant of this mystery, lest you should be wise in your own opinion, that blindness in part has happened to Israel until the (1d)fullness of the Gentiles has come in. And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: ‘The Deliverer will come out of Zion, and He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob; for this is My covenant with them, when I take away their sins.’

Concerning the gospel they are enemies for your sake, but concerning the election they are beloved for the sake of the fathers. For the gifts and the calling of God are irrevocable. For as you were once disobedient to God, yet have now obtained mercy through their disobedience, even so these also have now been disobedient, that through the mercy shown you they also may obtain mercy. For God has committed them all to disobedience, that He might have mercy on all." NKJV

(1d) "fullness": New Exhaustive Strong’s Numbers and Expanded Greek-Hebrew Dictionary defines the Greek New Testament word translated above as "fullness": "NT:4138 pleroma ... repletion or completion, i.e... multitude...". The American Heritage Dictionary defines "completed" as: "Thorough; consummate; perfect... To make whole or complete. To conclude [Middle English... to fill up (+) to fill]"

Israel will now be given the opportunity to hear and see God, just as all other converted Christians, or Gentiles, have had for over 2000 years. We need to also consider the possibility that if the "fullness/COMPLETION" OF THE GENTILES {pagans converted into Christ/Christians} has come", then the "Gentile" of today, or unsaved" person remaining in the world, may also have seen "completion", or "fullness" in their time. God has not made this perfectly clear to me.

As Christians, we need to concentrate now on Galatians 3:28-29: "There is neither Jew nor Greek {Gentile}, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise. NIV.

When this statement was written in the Bible, you were either a Jew or a Gentile {pagan, heathen, non-Jew}. Romans 11:25-32 is saying that one is either in Christ, and therefore within the Seed {Christ} of Abraham, and at a minimum a spiritual Jew, or they are a Gentile which is anyone not Christian. This is not the typical Christian/Jew teaching on this subject, and I highly suggest you read: Who Is A Jew?

(2) "In order to be "complete/completed" one must be reborn into our Father’s own Spirit":

[John 4:23-24; NKJV] "But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him. God is Spirit , and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth."

(3) "Many who worship in the Spirit will be completed before being (3a)transported {God insisted I use the word (3a)"transported" here}":

(3a) TRANSPORTED: "To carry from one place to another ; convey. To move to strong emotion; enrapture; carry away. 2. The state or condition of being transported by emotion; rapture. [Middle English... ‘from one to another’ + ‘to carry’]" (American Heritage Dictionary)
