While in prayer, I saw a bride standing, apparently waiting for her wedding ceremony. I wasn't really sure what to say to her, so I just casually said, "Are you ready to go?", but she didn't answer me, she just looked away like she didn't hear me, so I spoke up and said again, "So, are you ready to get married?", but she just looked away as though she was searching the horizon for some distant thing. I could see her eyes watering up as she was looking away, her chin began to tremble, then she just lowered her head, and as she did, I saw tears roll off her eyes, and onto her beautiful dress. She looked so sad and hopeless. I felt so bad for her, she looked like there was so much bottled up inside her.

A breeze blew by, and it rolled across the big folds of her billowy gown, and as it did, I caught a glimpse of something dark between the folds. At first, I wondered whether I had actually seen anything, or if I was just imagining it. She quickly tried to push the dress down, but the wind kept picking up, and she couldn't keep every area down because the wind kept getting stronger, and she couldn't cover every area fast enough with just two hands. I saw clearly now that between each fold, there was hidden dirty areas that you could not normally see unless the wind revealed them. She looked at me mortified, I guess knowing she was exposed and she said to me, "There's nothing I can do, I've tried everything to clean it, but I can't get the dirt out". She then burst out in loud sobbing.

Then as the wind was still blowing, I saw what seemed like beams of bright white light followed by red at the end of each white beam. These white beams shot through the wind and into each dirty area of the dress lighting it up, and then cleaning the area completely white, as though it had never been dirty in the spot at all. The bride was helpless except to allow the wind to keep blowing, and the light, and beams to keep shooting through her. She seemed so weary to me, as though she had no strength left except to just stand there and let it all happen. I thought she would just fall over from the strong wind, but she somehow she stayed on her feet. Then the Holy Spirit explained to me what I was seeing. This is what He said;

The bride you saw, is the Church of Jesus Christ in these last days, and although she looks clean from the surface, there are many dirty, hidden areas that you cannot see, unless the wind of My Spirit blows and exposes them. We have tried to hide these dirty areas because we are so embarrassed and ashamed that other Christians would see them, and judge us as a "dirty Christian". Each time one of these areas gets exposed, we try to quickly cover it back up before someone else sees it. We have tried frantically on our own to quickly clean it all up, but we just don't seem to be able to get these problem areas clean, and we are weary and exasperated from trying. Now, the problems and the wind, have become uncontrollable, and all that was hidden is seen by all.

God has allowed the Wind of His Spirit to blow harder and harder upon our lives, so that all these areas can now be seen clearly, and there is no longer anything we can do to keep them covered. He allowed these dark areas to get so bad that we would have to face them, and He also knew that we would try really hard on our own, in vain, to fix and clean them. He knew that we needed to truly know and accept in our hearts, that we could not fix or clean them ourselves, but that only His efforts, with our cooperation can do this job. As we have finally surrendered to the blowing/cleaning process, God is now able to clean us with His light of truth, and His blood; that is the only thing that can clean the sin soiled areas of our souls. God is cleaning and healing all that is within you.

So, Precious Bride, as you feel the Wind blow stronger and stronger, and as you lose more and more control over it; Remember, that unless God allowed you to see your helplessness, that you would have kept striving in vain to do what only His Spirit and cleansing blood could do. In the end of this storm, there is purity, and freedom. The whole Bride, is making Herself ready for the soon coming of our Groom, Jesus, and all that you are now experiencing is helping to make you ready for the soon coming wedding between the Lamb, and His spotless, pure Bride. You are a trophy and testimony of His grace and His work. He is the Author and Finisher your faith, and He will lead you all the way through to complete freedom.
