Something that has not been witnessed since the creation of time. Amidst the gross darkness that has already crept in, The Glory Era will usher in a reverential holiness in the Church - both in Body and the Bride of Christ. Our time is running out and the Lord Jesus is coming back for His holy and pure Bride. Unfortunately, the Bride is not ready yet. By the mercies of God, we have been given a little more time to prepare, very little time. This book aims at revealing the heart of the Father God regarding the Bride that He promised Lord Jesus, before the foundation of the earth. In the Parable of the 10 virgins, 5 of them were wise and 5 of them foolish. The Parable of the Wise and Foolish Virgins - Matthew 25 (NKJV) 1 “Then the kingdom of heaven shall be likened to ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to “ meet the bridegroom. 2 Now five of them were wise, and five were foolish. 3 Those who were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them, 4 but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. 5 But while the bridegroom was delayed, they all slumbered and slept. 6 “And at midnight a cry was heard: ‘Behold, the bridegroom is coming; go out to meet him!’ 7 Then all those virgins arose and trimmed their lamps. 8 And the foolish said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ 9 But the wise answered, saying, ‘No, lest there should not be enough for us and you; but go rather to those who sell, and buy for yourselves.’ 10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came, and those who were ready went in with him to the wedding; and the door was shut. 11 “Afterward the other virgins came also, saying, ‘Lord, Lord, open to us!’ 12 But he answered and said, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, I do not know you.’ 13 “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming. Why were the 5 wise virgins prepared and the other 5 unprepared? The difference between the 5 wise virgins and the 5 foolish virgins is their undying, uncompromising love for their Bridegroom. The Bride who loves the Lord Jesus-the Bridegroom, with all her heart, all her soul, all her mind will stop at nothing but perfection in Christ. The 5 wise virgins loved their Lord so much that they took time to prepare. They were desperate for the Lord and nothing would hold them back from being with the one they love. 4 Literally nothing. When someone is so deeply in love, they leave no stone unturned. When a Bride is excited about being with the Bridegroom, madly in love, consumed with passion - no one needs to tell her to get prepared for the union. The Bride would naturally want to prepare herself, because it means the world to her. She cannot wait to be with the one she loves. Her soul longs for her soul mate - Lord Jesus. The process of preparation is not burdensome, but something that she is excited about. She goes about beautify herself, making herself perfect for the perfect Bridegroom. Cleansing, sanctifying, purifying herself. She does that, not because it is required of her, but because she loves Him. Now, if the Bridegroom is the King of Kings, then the preparation needs to be of that caliber. The royals have discipline and order. They need to maintain dignity and conduct themselves appropriately. Their character must reflect grace and glory of the King. If this is the norm of an earthly kingdom, how much more the eternal, Holy Kingdom of the Most- High God! This is the kind of preparation required of the Bride of the King of Kings - Lord Jesus. The 5 wise virgins understood their holy ordination and were prepared to meet the Lord Jesus. Becoming a Bride is a process and this book has the practical guidelines, along with examples, needed to enrich the Bride of Christ. Prayer: Father, in the name of our Lord Jesus, we bring before you the reader of this book. I pray dear Holy Spirit that you quicken their spirit and stir their hearts to walk worthy of their Bridal ordination. Help them dear Lord to be pure and holy and be ready like the 5 wise virgins, when the Lord Jesus returns to take His Bride. We give you all the praise, the glory and honour, in Jesus mighty name. Amen. 5 Acknowledgement I thank the dear Abba Father for His grace and mercies in revealing His heart to me, precious Holy Spirit for leading and guiding me and my beloved Lord Jesus, without whom I wouldn’t be alive to see this day. Heartfelt thanks dear Lord. My dear husband Jan, who has always supported and encouraged me, in love. Thank you for all that you are to me. Without you, life wouldn’t have been the same. You are the best and I love you! My children, Zion and Mahima, thank you so much for your support. You guys are a wonderful blessing to me! Thanks a ton Mom for being who you are! You have always been there for me and relentlessly believed and prayed for me. Thank you, Ma and I love you! All the saints of God who prayed for us and continue to pray for us, a heartfelt thanks. May the Lord bless each one of you abundantly. Special thanks to my mentor Pastor Immanuel Jacob, for years of patience and the hard teaching! You helped me understand the deeper truths of the word of God. I will be forever grateful to you pastor. All the glory, honor and praise be unto you dear Lord. 6 Understanding Jesus The Bridegroom 7 The Beginning Let’s rewind to the garden of Eden. Picture this - Adam, the first of all mankind is a new born, fully grown man. As he opens his eyes for the first time, the bright glorious light engulfs him, his eyes slowly getting accustomed to his present surroundings. He is staring at the triune Godhead, gathered around him, smiling, peering at him through the cloud of glory, with bright sparkling eyes. The triune God had made history that day - a one that would be recorded in the books for eternity. A very special day indeed. Adam instantly recognized the Father as He lunged forward to hug him - a proud papa’s son. Son of the King of Glory, soon to inherit a kingdom, which would birth the Bride for Christ. Adam embraced the Father’s lean, strong torso, His soft white beard rubbing against his face as felt His warm breath against his shoulder. The Father’s love filled his very being, as his heart leaped with joy. Little did Adam know how blessed and privileged he was, at that very moment. Lord Jesus then stepped forward, welcoming him with a hug, that burst into a million colors dancing around him. There was a beautiful whiff of celebration in the air, at the joyous occasion. Holy Spirit embraced him also in love, sending waves of uncontainable joy. The Angels danced and sang for they had witnessed the birth of a new King, a new era. Songs of worship and praise along with the harmonious sounds of all creation of God, produced a new strain of melody never heard before. The brilliant colors, melodious tunes, the majestic angels all seemed to Adam like he was a very special creation. As he was still trying to come to terms with the things happening around him, Papa summons. The whole creation suddenly turns into a silent spectator, in awe and reverence, allowing the Father to speak. Papa held a colorful, bejeweled, gold crown, with intricately laid precious stones designed with great love and care by the Father Himself.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists Album Review: Madonna – Rebel Heart Not the most listenable effort, but an intelligent album that lives up to expectations. Jack Elliott reviews Thursday 26 March 2015 Rating: ★★★☆☆ It has been 3 years since the Queen of Pop’s last contribution to music. 2012’s MDNA exposed a solid musical direction that suggests Madonna’s character and target audience have changed far less than pop culture itself. Despite a turbulent release due to demo leaks, ‘Rebel Heart’ was finally released in full on the 6th March and finally answered the questions that many had about the album. Opening with ‘Living For Love’, the album starts exactly where MDNA left off. The album’s flagship track boasts a steady dance tempo and electronic production that will be appreciated by fans. The inclusion of heavily compressed piano chords and gospel singers here will transport you to an EDM church rave and http://nouse.co.uk/2015/03/26/album-review-madonna-rebel-heart Archived 11 Dec 2018 09:28:15 Nouse Web Archives Album Review: Madonna – Rebel Heart Page 2 of 3 you’ll probably love it.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

Dabei soll ebenfalls festgehalten werden, welchen Kriterien eine Musikproduktion gerecht werden sollte, damit sie vom Zuhörer als dynamisch klingend empfunden wird und welches Potential die Dynamic Range besitzt dem Loudness War entgegenzuwirken. Hierfür wurden die Dynamic Ranges von insgesamt 5269 Musikti- teln aus dem Zeitraum von 1982 bis 2017 bestimmt. This study contains a current tendency of the Loudness War which deals with the ques- tion in which way a louder and more compressed production impacts the dynamic of a song. The main focus of this study is to give an advice, which criteria should be fulfilled that music reaches an audience in a dynamic way and to show whether the Dynamic Range has got the potential to lead the Loudness War to an end.

  • A Call from the Dark
    A Call from the Dark Adam Deverell 1 How to Get Ready for Work in Half an Hour ’ve never been very good at getting up early on Saturday mornings. I’m usually wasted I after frying my brain all week at school and Dad never stirs unless he’s working, so there’s not much incentive. I used to drag myself up, get a bowl of cereal and hop back into bed, watch music videos and then go back to sleep for a couple of hours. Those awesome mornings have long gone. I wish I hadn’t taken them for granted, cause who knows if I’ll ever get to sleep in again? Things have changed. I have to get up for work now, and since I walked to work I had to leave way too early. That didn’t mean I get up when I should though. I always leave it as late as possible. So, on the weekend that my life took a serious plunge down the toilet, I woke up at nine after forgetting to set my alarm, leaving me only half an hour to get ready. Unlike what I was about to go through, this was something I could handle easily. First, I made sure I had the fastest shower possible. That’s difficult. I love long, hot showers, washing my blonde hair slowly and rhythmically, just letting the steam clear my head and the soap wash all over me. It’s probably the most peaceful part of the day. Then, standing at the kitchen counter, I ate my cereal as fast as I could.
