Discover the hidden wellspring within you, a living river of Christ Himself, not an external religious rite. Gene Edwards unveils God’s profound purpose: to build a glorious Bride—His Church—from His very own essence, into an indivisible oneness with Him. This isn’t about superficial joy, but about transformation through life’s crucibles, where divine pressure forges our humanity into precious, living stones. Hear a compelling vision of true spiritual depth, intimacy with God, and the Church as a dynamic building process, moving beyond ordinary church culture. Listen to understand God’s eternal heart for His people.
And when Eve awoke, she still had his DNA; they were one, and I don’t know exactly where this girl is going to come from. It’s when we’re all going to be gathered together as one, and our flesh is put off, and our translated bodies are given to us, and we’re going to have a meeting in the skies that will beat any meeting that’s ever been held on earth. It’s going to be a rip-roar. And then we’re going to become one girl. And boy, are we going to be beautiful. And then we’re going to become one with God. We’re going to become one with Jesus Christ, the Son of God. If that bothers you, I’m sorry.
Now, there’s just one thing I want to tell you. And that is that God did not create Eve, and He did not form Eve. There is a word used in Genesis 2 that does not appear in Genesis 1 or 2 anywhere else. In all references, I believe I am correct, in all references as to how God brought different things into being, only in this girl is this word used.
He built her. He built her. And you can often find that word in the margin. He built her. Out of Adam. And he is building her out of Himself. And every time there’s a saved one, one redeemed, one brought into the new creation, the new creature, this new species, that’s another building block. And he’s building her. It’s another part of the girl. And that’s why we are called an assembly. We are those parts of that girl being brought together and built.
And there is a process going on on this earth very similar to the way the city of Jerusalem was built. The stones are brought in, and they are put together, and they are built, and this is the building that you see in Revelation 22. It is the building of God, and I don’t mean that it is of God; I mean God built it. It is not with human hands. It is upon this rock, Christ, the Son of God, I alone build, and he built a woman out of Adam’s flesh, and he’s building a girl out of his spirit; and out of His translated being.
I wonder if you know what my point is. Does anybody have any idea what my point is?
I got two. One of them is, this is a really good, very, very good, it’s the best there is, picture of what God is doing. But I have another point. It’s alright to be in love with two women. It’s like it’s alright to be in love with two men just as long as Jesus Christ is one of them, and as long as one of them is the bride of Christ. It’s all right. You can do that. And people, if I ever do get weary, I suppose my weariness could be summed up in just one simple word, and that is, I get tired of talking about this beautiful girl and nobody doing anything.
Why won’t you fall in love with her? Why don’t you go back to church on Sunday? Why don’t you sell everything you have and move somewhere? Why don’t you… What are you attached to? Mama and daddy? Houses and land? Jobs? If this is what beats in the heart of God, ought it not to be to us? If this is what drives God, should this not drive us? Is this not worth leaving father and mother, houses, lands, and friends?
I want you to know I’m in love with that girl. I’m going to see her someday, complete. She’s beautiful. Sometimes I see her in my mind’s eye. And she looks a whole lot like Jesus Christ, just like Eve looked an awful lot like Adam. How could we possibly call a building where people sit and stare, the bride of God? How dare we do this? How dare we be satisfied with sitting around studying the Bible, sharing our incipient ignorance over a verse of Scripture?
We are a citizenship, a kingdom, a nation, and we’re a girl. I think I’ll just close by telling you that it’s really unusual in Greek for a word like ekklesia to be a feminine gender. The word Ekklesia is feminine; it has a feminine article in front of it, it’s a female term. She’s a girl, and I want to tell Jonathan, and I want to tell Abel, and I want to tell Bishty, and I want to tell I want to tell Pilu, and I want to tell Daniel, and I want to tell every man out there – you treat your wife, you treat the church the same way. And if you’re a hard-driving, mean man, always criticizing, it doesn’t matter whether it’s you having reference to the church or to your wife.
It’s the same. And if you are disinterested in one, you’re disinterested in the other. And if one of them is simply your servant, the other one will be too. And I watch the men on television and radio, and those who write books, and they’re using the church of God to their own ends. You don’t use her. You fall in love with her. And you treat her as the wife of God. You treat her beautifully. You treat her sweet. You don’t pick on that girl. You don’t correct her, and you don’t get angry with her. You just love her. And you’re patient with her. And you realize that you’re part of her.
And men, you need to be broken if you’re harsh on the church. You need to be broken if you’re harsh toward the church. And if you bawl her out and scream at her, you’re probably doing the same thing to your wife.
And I’m going to close. There’s so much more that could be said, but we’re dealing with the revelation of Jesus Christ. Brother Abel, Brother Pilu, Brother Jonathan, I cannot get you beyond words; the Holy Spirit must get you beyond those words. I am not interested in running around with people who are not interested in that girl. I don’t have time. I’m not here to win souls; I’m here to see the church built, and if that takes winning souls, I’ll do it, but I’m for her, and she’s for God, and God’s for her, and one day they’re going to be one, and Genesis 1 and 2 closes on two people becoming one, and marriage and union is the highest human picture we will ever know of why God did all this. And if this is his heart, Lord, make it mine.
