The Lord brings us into His Mother's House

Songs of Solomon 3:4 - It was but a little that I passed from them, but I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, until I had brought him into my mother's house, and into the chamber of her that conceived me.


This message may be a little difficult to understand but I trust the Lord who has given us this message He will deliver it to the hearts it is intended to.

Firstly I told you the book Songs of Solomon is a book of metaphors. It is written like a Shakespeare play with the name of the characters removed. So to know who said to whom and who it refers to, one needs to know the character and the character's nature well. Without knowledge of the characters one will never understand Songs of Solomon. This book really tests your understanding of the Kingdom of Heaven.

When the Lord first introduced Himself to Abraham (Abram) He gave his Name as Almighty God - Al Shaddai. In the Old Hebrew language this word literally means Strong Breasted One. It does translate to Almighty One but has more meaning than just that. It means God is our Father and our Mother; He is our Creator, Originator of life, our Provider and also the One Who loves and cares for us.

In the Kingdom of Heaven (Upper Heavens) there is no gender for all are of one gender - male. In Genesis when God created the worlds the words 'His Kind' is a male gender and 'Their Kind' is a female gender. This has nothing to do with the physical genders. In the physical (natural) world genders are images of natures, for when God created woman He made her from the bone of man (rib bone which does not have marrow) and bone symbolizes nature of man and marrow the spirit. In physical form a woman is made in man's nature but spiritually both are of one gender. That's the reason a spiritually mature woman no longer is daughter but a son of God.

The book of Solomon does not refer to these characteristics of genders. Here the gender is of role play. Our family is called a Church for it symbolizes the institute of God - The Father, The Mother and Son (children). When I say Mother here it speaks of God The Holy Spirit. The word Spirit is of female gender - it does not mean God is of female gender. He is referred too even by the Son as Father but in the redemption of man God the Holy Spirit plays the role of the Mother like the Son does of a Brother. Thus by being part of the Family we inherit the Kingdom of the Father.

Like mother nurtures the child, loves and cares for it, so does the Holy Spirit do to us when we become His children. It was by the Holy Spirit that God the Son who became Son of God and came as man Jesus. Jesus wants to take us into the chamber of the Holy Spirit, the special place of care and love so that we will be spiritually nourished, loved and made strong so as to be like Him.

Let us celebrate Mother's Day everyday by surrendering ourselves to the Holy Spirit and enter into the special chamber of love, care and nourishment.


[ Prayer Starter ]
Lord God, You are our Father and You are our Mother. O Holy Spirit, You are the giver of life and You alone are the One Who cares and nourishes us. Take us into your bosom O Holy Spirit and keep us always close to You. Do not let go of us even when we misbehave. We are weak but You are strong, be our strength and help us overcome...

This prayer we make in Jesus' Name, Amen.

22 And the rib, which the LORD God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man.
23 And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

John 1:10-14
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

The Word of God was given free to us, therefore we should also share it freely with others. (All rights are with God)
