Ten Virgins song
Ten Bridesmaids
This song tells the story of the ten virgins Bible Parable.
End Times song to help the bride prepare for her bridegroom's return. Let us not be apathetic, disinterested or averse to change. Let the Holy Spirit change you and produce in you good fruit (love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self control), that our lamp will be filled with oil and with oil to spare.

Jesus, whose name is truly Yeshua - meaning "salvation" - came to this earth and did the ultimate act of love, as a husband for a wife, dying for us, taking our sins on His sinless shoulders and buying us forgiveness for everything we have ever done that separates us from our Holy God. Yeshua rose from the dead by the power of the Living God and is coming back soon.

He wants us to say Yes to Him, to follow Him, love Him, be betrothed to Him and be His bride, prepared and ready to meet the Bridegroom. That means repenting of (turning away from) your sins and selfish ways, it means believing Yeshua is God's Son, and that He died and rose to life and is alive forever. It means inviting Him to come and live with you, to fill you with His Holy Spirit and to show you how to obey His Word, the Bible. Yeshua loves you. He doesn't want you to wander into the night. He wants you to be ready, that's why He gave us this parable. It is not enough to say "I believe in God" - even the demons believe - and they tremble at Him! It is not enough to say sorry for sin and then living as we please, assuming His grace will cover our selfish decisions. We are called to surrender, to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength and to love our neighbour as ourselves. As you give over your life to Him, the good fruit of the Holy Spirit will grow and you will change, find life, find blessing, find strength and also find trials! But He is with you always, to overcome those trials by His Word and by the power of the Holy Spirit within you.

So let Him change and refine your character, grow deeper in love with Him, spend time with Him, talk to Him but also take time to listen, ask Him to point out sin in you that you are unaware of, that you might be pure and spotless (not meaning perfect in your walk - who can live perfectly except our Saviour Yeshua?! It means humble, in a state of surrender to the Lord Yeshua and being in an honest relationship with Him), and that the good fruit will overflow in your life, just as the wise virgins' oil was plentiful.

Blessings to you and thank you for reading if you got this far!
