Are You In Love With God?
Twenty-four Elders agree,
“Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.”
Revelation 4:11
God creates all things for His pleasure, therefore, Yahweh creates us for His pleasure too.
Know the times and the seasons
There are times and seasons to God’s revelation. During the reformation, God emphasized salvation. During the first part of the 19th century, our Father highlighted the baptism of the Holy Spirit. Now, in our time, our Heavenly Lover speaks to us about oneness.
It is a time of love and as our love heightens, we naturally desire to express our affections. So too, as deep calls to deep, we come to know our Creator through one another in Divine Love. If the earthly marriage bed is undefiled, then the heavenly marriage bed is even more holy. Truly, we live in the time prophesied of in the Song of Solomon. As God’s future wife, our calling is to embrace and yield to Him for His pleasure.
God makes us for His pleasure
God creates a woman for a man’s pleasure. As she yields her heart and body to his love, she receives pleasure ,too. What many people do not understand is that God created mankind for His pleasure. In other words, we are created to be God’s mate. We are, in fact, a Seraphim in the making.
God says,
“Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands::
Hebrews 2:7
Seraphim are God’s wives. They are beings of immense power and intimacy. In fact, unless you approach God’s throne very closely, you cannot even see them. If Solomon is a type of God in His kingdom, then He has many, beautiful Seraphim.
Spiritual/physical unions
Created for his pleasure means pleasure. It is not some puritanical pleasure that only exists as a concept in our minds. God mates with us through our spiritual/physical unions with each other. As we unite as man and woman we unite with God, bringing Him pleasure, too. Of course, God derives pleasure from His whole creation, but the pleasure He gains from His union with us is why He created everything in the first place.
We are the Bride of Christ and our destiny is to embrace our heavenly lover, knowing Him as intimately as possible. Though not everything between a man and women is sexual, intimacy forms the basis of their union. Though everything with God is not sensual, intimacy forms the basis of our union with Him, too.
Intimacy is holy, don’t defile it
God hates adultery simply because He must be present during it whether or not He wants to. When men and women mate, no matter how it is accomplished, God must be there. Originally, our creator meant for our spiritual/physical unions to be a celebration of life and His Divine Love. However, Satan debases and degrades what God made “very good” into something that people associate with animal lust.
Have you ever wondered why there is so much sexual immorality in the world? Why do soldiers rape so many women during conflicts? How do humans do such things to other humans? It is because the devil HATES God and knows that He must be present during such brutal acts. Fallen Lucifer seeks to drag God and His creation through the worst violence imaginable in order to hurt Him. Can you imagine how it pains God to witness and feel His crowning creation, the daughters of Eve, be violated? No wonder the Lake of Fire is in Satan’s future.
Realize what you are to God.
Our lover says,
“How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights! This thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes. I said, I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of the boughs thereof: now also thy breasts shall be as clusters of the vine, and the smell of thy nose like apples;”
Song of Solomon 7:6-8
It’s time to kiss the Bridegroom
We are no more children, but are becoming the Bride of Christ, the object of God’s affection. God creates us for His pleasure. Being a delight and pleasure to God is our destiny.
In conclusion, spiritual/physical intimacy is the reason God created mankind. Everything about the way a man is with a woman highlights and portrays what God desires from us. Eve is God’s crowning achievement in this creation. The Bride of Christ is, like her, created to be loved and to love just like she was. To the greater Eve I say this, “you are created for His pleasure”.
Amen.

Podcast: God Wills Us To Love For His Good Pleasure
God has given us free will; it’s one of his greatest blessings. However, too often we use that freedom to choose what we desire, not what He desires for us. Does it matter if we make wrong choices? Especially in who we love and mate with? Does God take any pleasure in us loving as He desires? Listen as we talk about loving as God wills. . .
wir sind alle Gottes Geschöpfe und als solches sollten wir ihn an unserem Leben teilhaben lassen und ihm so eine Freude bereiten, ihm so zu sagen Dank sagen das er uns geschaffen hat zu seiner Freude. Amen
we are all God’s creatures and as such we should let him share in our lives and give him such a pleasure, so to say thanks to him for making us his joy. Amen
Dear Rita,
Thanks for you comment! Yes, it is the very least we owe God for all the wonderful things He has done and is doing for us. Also, thank you for saying it is German too, that is really helpful.
God bless,
Michael
Heresy! In the Holy Word of God, the church is referred to as the bride of Christ, however NEVER once in the Bible does it say that God has a physical wife or wives. There is no sexual aspect to our relationship with GOD, though there is definitely relationship. The LORD teaches us about discernment. 1 John 4:1 tells us to test the spirits for there are many false prophets that have gone out into the world whom is called anti-Christ. Brothers and sisters, open the Bible and hear only what God has to say, not man. Whoever adds or takes away from the book, his name shall be taken out of the book of life. If you all don’t believe me, search the scriptures. “He who has ears, let him hear” Matthew 11:15.
Dear Marisa,
Thank you for commenting on the essay entitled, “Created For His Pleasure.” I really do like it when others share their opinions and perspectives.
The definition of heresy is: adherence to a religious opinion contrary to church dogma (according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary).
Therefore, when you say Heresy, you are saying that I am sharing an opinion that differs from yours or the group of people you associate with. In this, I agree with you. My opinion, based on the revelation I have received from the Holy Spirit and my reading of the holy writ, does differ from a substantial portion of Christian believers.
Also, I think that how you express yourself, is at the very least, the first reaction that many believers have when the confront the realization that the Bride of Christ eventually becomes the Wife of Christ. For some reason, though the earthly picture of marriage is a very complete one in everyone’s mind, most people never realize that marriage to God manifest in the flesh, means marriage in its totality to God Himself. I understand this very much and, as I received these understandings, it stretched my concept of God too.
However, even in the Old Testament, God considered himself “married” in the biblical sense to Israel, since He said,”
” For of old time I have broken thy yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the harlot. Yet I had planted thee a noble vine, wholly a right seed: how then art thou turned into the degenerate plant of a strange vine unto me?”
Jeremiah 2:20,21
And, in the New Testament, Paul writes,
“Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word, That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish. So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.”
Ephesians 5: 24-32
All I have done, to an extent I able, is declare this mystery to you and others. I ask everyone, why exactly, wouldn’t the chaste virgin of God not want to be known by her heavenly lover? Why is it more holy that He never touch his Bride physically? Isn’t that what happens when he gives us spiritual experiences? Why is it preferred that the Bride never know Him experientially? Isn’t physical union between God and His intended the point of the wedding supper of the Lamb?
You are also not alone in your assumption that physical sex and God are mutually exclusive. Most Christians think that sex is something you do behind close doors, away from the presence of the Almighty. This is because of shame, the shame that entered into the human race through Adam and Eve sinning against God when they disobeyed His commandment not to eat of the forbidden fruit.
Consider, though, that Adam and Eve covered themselves, not because their procreative parts were now evil, but because they had committed spiritual adultery by yielding their minds and bodies to another’s will i.e. Lucifer. This is the root of all shame, not the act of sex itself. Sexual sin is having relationships with someone God doesn’t approve of. You’d better believe He aproves of Himself. YHWH also very much approved of the virgin Mary. Did Mary commit Heresy? According to your line of reasoning she did.
In the beginning, when man was naked and unashamed, God commanded them to go forth, be fruitful, and multiply. Consider too, how did Adam figure out that he had no helpmate suitable for him? Therefore, is not the act of the union of God and man, through Mary, the greatest picture of God’s desire to unite through us?
Your comment highlights how the Devil has “set up” many believers to reject the advances of her future lover. While God wants to love us, ungodly chergy have lead us to believe that all physical affection is somehow earthly, impure, and soiled. The truth is, physical love, shared between mates ordained by God, is the mechanism for God loving us through each other and us loving God in each other. This is the mystery of the church and, an radical as it sounds, is what is about to happen in the near future world wide througout the Body of Christ. Making love with God is what the Bride of Christ is meant to do. He created us to satisfy Him, becoming a helpmate fit for a heavenly king.
Shame endangers us all. We are encouraged to avoid anything to do with physical love, because we have been lied to that we are sinful and unworthy. Our natural minds simply cannot pierce the veil of shame which keeps us from seeing the true beauty and magnificence of what God created us for in the first place. Oddly enough, though we talk about the Love of God, the love of Christ, and the love the brethren, what we mean is not the love God created. It is a phariseeical definition of love that bears little resemblance to what God really meant of wants.
I have explained things thoroughly in my writings and I encourage you to explore this revelation more. Give it time and don’t be afraid to consider whether these things be true – merely thinking about a concept does not mean you must accept it.
In the end, no one comes to Jesus by natural reason. It is all through faith. God is about to pour out His love upon this word in a way that very few suspect, and it will be a stumbling block to those who refuse to allow God to kiss them with a Holy Kiss.
Sincerely,
Michael
