The Bride and The Bridegroom

I've been getting up early to hear Joseph Prince on the ABC network. It's funny that I really needed to begin with God and end with God to be able to focus. My sleep. If I decide to sleep is sweet knowing that I have gotten a little bit of His word and a better understanding of Him.

From the first letter of bride and the first letter of bridegroom in Hebrew one gets the word for "power" KOACH (from the Hebrew word "כח", meaning "strength")

Joseph Prince elaborated on the fact that marriage was the beginning of two agreeing on earth. He was telling the story of Isaac in Gen 26. How he had lied concerning his wife in saying that she was his sister. Then he pointed out that after the lie was brought to light and their relationship made right that he sowed and reaped one hundred-fold in the time of FAMINE. We can look to God in this time of famine. The basis of his argument was when they were in agreement they had the power to get wealth.

Prince explained the completeness of a marriage covenant and how two people together on a mission for God cannot be stopped. "Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven." (Matthew 18:19)

Deut. 8:18
¹⁸But thou shalt remember the LORD thy God: for it is he that giveth thee power to get wealth, that he may establish his covenant which he sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.

The word power in the previous verse is KOACH in Hebrew. It is made up of the symbols for the bride and the bridegroom. He used it to explain the beauty of a man receiving his help through his wife. I understood it in the larger sense of Jesus (The Bridegroom) and the Church (The Bride). When we are united; we are unstoppable. Desperate poverty results after people forget God.
