Michael Koulianos shared the heart of Jesus by reminding the congregation that He is looking for a bride who would see Him as their food.
Michael Koulianos
The founder of Jesus Image Church in Orlando, Florida, Michael Koulianos, visited Ascend Church and preached about living in the presence of God. According to him, not every building was a church and there’s a condition that needs to be met. He shared what was written in Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.” And stressed the importance of living in an atmosphere where the moisture of the Holy Spirit would reside.
After that, he discussed that, “Worshiping people are dangerous to the enemy. Because the revelation of Jesus that precious manna is constantly being feasted on by those people.” He also highlighted that when people were filled with the Heavenly presence of Jesus, the world wouldn’t look so good for them. This is how they would be set free from sins.
He’s Looking For A Bride
Michael also emphasized that Jesus wanted to be feasted on and didn’t need more fans.
“He’s looking for a bride who sees him as their food. He’s trying to find a deep union with the people where there’s an exchange of nature,” he emphasized.
He explained that it was the bridal paradigm in Revelations 3:20 where it is written, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come into him and dine with him, and he with Me.”
Moreover, he underlined that when people open their hearts to Jesus, there is a profound exchange of nature through the meal. Jesus is the meal, giving Himself to those who love Him. In addition, he urged everyone, “This is not the hour to forsake the meal. This natural exchange must happen because Jesus is coming back. He’s looking for a bride that looks like Him. That talks like Him. That forgives like Him. That loves like Him.”
