BECOMING A WISE VIRGIN
Proverbs 17:16 KJV
Wherefore is there a price in the hand of a fool to get wisdom, seeing he hath no heart to it?
It is critical in this hour to be willing to pay the price to become a wise virgin (Matt. 25:1-13 – please read this parable).
Here, the Lord Jesus reveals to us that in His end-time coming to the Church in glory and power, the Church will have three companies of Christians: the watchmen, that cry at mid-night, the virgins: both wise and foolish and the harlot Babylon church.
The watchmen are the prophets in the Church who are crying and warning the Church in this ‘midnight’ hour: the transition between the day before the manifestation of the glory of God and the day of the manifestation of the glory of God (a prophetic “day” is a thousand years).
The virgins are the honest Christians in the Church who respond to the prophetic call and begin to prepare to meet the bridegroom in this end-time.
The harlot Babylon Christians are those who reject the message of perfection which requires developing the love of God, because of the dishonesty of their hearts. They are therefore not virgins anymore, as they have committed spiritual adultery and fornication with the spirit of Babylon.
However, among the virgins some are wise and some are foolish.
As the bridegroom tarried, and the manifestation of the glory of God seemed to be delayed, the virgins fell asleep: they lost their awareness and consciousness of this truth.
However, the watchmen: the prophetic intercessory ministry, did not fall asleep!
So we are now very close to ‘midnight’: the time just before the manifestation of the glory, and the watchmen are crying or sounding the alarm (Joel 2.1-11) that the bridegroom is coming!
As the virgins awake, the foolish see that they do not have oil in their vessels and the oil in their lamps is being diminished.
The lamp represents the born-again human spirit (Prov. 20:27).
The vessel represents the physical body (2Cor. 4:7).
How do you get oil in your vessel?
By praying regularly in the Spirit with all types of prayer that will cause the life of God to be injected from the born again human spirit into the human body (Rom. 8:11, 26).
It is the virgins who have been praying in this manner as a habit or those who will start now to put oil in their vessels before the bridegroom comes, that will become wise virgins that will enter into the marriage with the bridegroom and so manifest the glory of God in this end-time.
The foolish virgins who do not have oil in their vessels by the time the bridegroom comes to them, will not be able to enter the feast because they would never have had intimacy with the Lord in prayer.
This is the price for being a foolish virgin or harlot Christian.
So become a wise virgin NOW, as the coming of the bridegroom is imminent!
