“For I am jealous over you with a godly jealousy: for I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ” (II Cor. 11:2). To be a virgin means to be pure, undefiled, and separated unto our Lord. God is creating the desire in a called and separated people in this hour to be truly virgin in their desires toward Him. We have known what it is to be conformed to this world. Then we have known what it is to come into fellowship with Christ while remaining entangled in all the defilement of a carnal and corrupt Babylonish church system. But God is laying His mighty hand of dealing upon a people and calling forth a glorious body of Christ who, in response to the quickening of the Holy Spirit, is desiring to be virgin — separated only unto her Bridegroom, unto intimate and vital union with Him! How lightly we sometimes take the purposes of God in us! In this hour separation is coming from everything of the flesh, the world, the devil, and from every vestige of entanglement with the carnal church systems of man which we have made our HEAD in place of the mighty indwelling Christ of God."
Much more on being the bride in the link:
First thing I thought of was that 'church' sponsored drag queen show for kids in houston.
"In our consideration of the Bridegroom and the bride we need to remember that first of all these precious realities are fulfilled within each of us personally! Christ is not just in some far-off heaven somewhere; for us He is our life, our reality, and our only hope of glory; and that hope of glory is neither Christ in heaven nor Christ coming again — it is CHRIST IN YOU! This is a phrase of inexhaustible wonder — “Christ in you, the hope of glory.” “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but CHRIST LIVETH IN ME” (Gal. 2:20). “For He abideth with you, and SHALL BE IN YOU” (Jn. 14:17). “He shall be IN you.” In these simple words our Lord announces the wonderful mystery of His indwelling which was to be the fruit and the crown of His redeeming work. It was for this that man had been created! It was for this, God’s incarnation in flesh, that the Spirit had revealed God unto men! It was for this that Jesus had lived and was about to die. Dwelling in them, He would prepare them to receive Himself as their true life and identity — as Bridegroom! We can never understand the deep mystery of the Bridegroom and the bride until we know that Christ is the Bridegroom and that Christ lives in us. All who give godly consideration to these simple truths cannot avoid the conclusion that the BRIDEGROOM IS WITHIN OURSELVES. There is deep within the inner sanctum of each of us a place where the Bridegroom dwells and He comes out of that place and woos us into intimacy of fellowship and vital union with Himself! Isn’t it wonderful!"
"There is, therefore, a part of our being which must be wooed by Christ in our spirit and brought into relationship and oneness in Him. Bride in Hebrew is kallah meaning “the completed one” or “the perfected one.” It reveals the concept of a woman being completed once she is married to her husband — and, as Paul so beautifully expresses it, “YE are complete IN HIM!”
" “Here Paul tells us that one man joined to one harlot equals one flesh. Therefore Paul says that 1 + 1 = 1. So when two things are joined, fused, knit together, they are no longer two things, but become one thing. Another example of this is found in the book of Ephesians. ‘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’ (Eph. 5:30-32). This is indeed a great mystery, but what Paul is declaring is the divine formula — 1 + 1 = 1. He shows that we (Christ and us) are made one in the body of Christ. We must lose that vision of our uniqueness, particularness, and individuality and grasp hold of the concept that we are one, not many."
