Here Comes the Bride – Sunday Blog Post

-

I had a dream the other night. I was preaching. (We’ll skip over that part for now. 😅) But in the dream, the message I was preaching was Here Comes the Bride. I woke up thinking, Okay, Lord… what does that mean?

Then I heard Him say, "This week, I want you to tell my people to prepare for the promise that’s coming." No one prepares for the ins and outs of the big day like a bride.

That hit me differently. Because let’s be real—brides don’t just hope for the wedding day, they prepare for it. They don’t just dream about walking down the aisle; they plan every detail. They get the dress, send the invites, schedule the rehearsal, and make sure everything is ready. Even when there are delays, even when it costs more than expected, even when people don’t understand the vision—they keep preparing because they know the day is coming.

And that’s the kind of faith God is calling us to have. He’s saying, Stop waiting like you’re unsure and start preparing like you’re certain. That dream, that breakthrough, that answer you’ve been praying for? It’s not a “maybe.” It’s a when. The promise is coming, and God is asking, Will you be ready?

The truth is, we say we’re waiting on God, but a lot of times, God is waiting on us. Waiting on us to move like we believe Him. To make space for what He’s about to do. To stop doubting and start getting ready for the moment He says, Now.

So, sis… if you knew your promise was arriving next week, what would you be doing today? Would you be shifting your mindset? Would you be getting your finances in order? Would you be releasing some things that no longer fit where God is taking you? Would you be stepping out in faith instead of standing in fear?

Here comes the bride. And here comes your promise. It’s time to get ready.

Are you ready to dive into this week’s devotional? See you tomorrow for Day One.

Here Comes the Bride Devotional - Day Five

  Day 5: The Wedding Day – Stepping Into the Promise Scripture: "Let us rejoice and be glad and give him glory! For the wedding of the Lamb has come, and his bride has made herself ready." —Revelation 19:7 (NIV) Devotional: The waiting is over. The long nights, the prayers, the preparation—it all led to this. The bride stands at the altar, fully dressed, fully prepared, fully ready . She doesn’t hesitate. She doesn’t question if she belongs here. She knows this moment was always meant to be. But how many of us pray for the promise, only to freeze when it finally arrives? We question if we’re qualified, if we’re worthy, if we can really handle what we’ve been waiting for. But sis, let me remind you— God didn’t bring you this far to leave you standing at the altar in fear. The same God who prepared you for this moment is the same God who will carry you through it. Every delay, every lesson, every “not yet” was God making sure you’d be ready when the doors opened. This isn’...

Here Comes the Bride Devotional - Day Three

  Day 3: The Guest List – Letting Go of Distractions Scripture: "For many are invited, but few are chosen." —Matthew 22:14 (NIV) Devotional: Every bride knows— not everybody gets an invite. She sends out her invitations with care because this day is sacred. It’s not for just anyone. It’s for the ones who truly belong in the room, the ones who celebrate with her, pray for her and want the best for her future. And just like a bride refines her guest list, you have to refine yours. Not everyone can go where God is taking you. Not everyone has earned a seat in your next season. Some people are in your life for a moment, but they can’t handle your forever . Some distractions feel comfortable, but they are keeping you from the preparation God is calling you into. It’s time to ask yourself—who and what is in my space that doesn’t belong? Who in my life is building me up in faith, and who is draining it? What habits, conversations, and mindsets are pulling me away from what God is...

Here Comes the Bride Devotional - Day Four

  Day 4: The Wedding Rehearsal – Preparing in Faith Scripture: "Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see." —Hebrews 11:1 (NIV) Devotional: Before the big day, there’s a rehearsal. A walk-through. A moment to act like it’s already happening before it actually does. The bride doesn’t wait until the wedding day to figure things out—she steps into the rehearsal fully believing that the real thing is on its way. She practices her steps, fixes her posture, and moves with confidence because she knows it’s coming. And that’s exactly what faith looks like. Faith isn’t waiting until the door opens to get ready—it’s preparing before you even see it happen. It’s walking like it’s yours before it’s placed in your hands. It’s making room, shifting your mindset, and putting things in order as if you already have the answer in front of you. Sis, are you waiting or are you preparing ? Because there’s a difference. One sits still, hoping something...
