Food for Your Devotion

Cindy Arora September 24, 2024

 The subtle allegories of poetry often elude my grasp. Three-thousand-year-old poetry, as in the Song of Songs, leaves me completely baffled. The Sacred Journey by Brian and Candice Simmons brings clarity and insight that I can grab ahold of. Their understanding of the poetry provides food for my devotion. . . .

In Song of Songs 5, the bride . . . .

The Fragrance of Christ

Cindy Arora April 18, 2023

I am basking in the love of my Bridegroom King today. The imagery of the Song of Solomon chapter 4 has captured my heart.

King Solomon, who is a type of King Jesus, is expressing his love . . . .

He Who has the Bride is King

Cindy Arora February 7, 2023

Why are women always pawns in the schemes of men?

This was my question to the Lord after reading about King David asking for his first wife, Michal, back. Michal had been married off to another man . . .

The 8 Benefits of God’s Word

Cindy Arora November 22, 2022

This Thanksgiving week, I number among my blessings God’s Word. The Bible is often referred to as a love letter from God. While that is true, the Word also has power. The power to restore identity and transform lives.

Before I list the 8 benefits or powers of the Word, I want to mention that translators . . .

Enrapturing Our Bridegroom King      

Cindy Arora February 22, 2022

This is our Bridegroom King, Jesus, speaking to us, His Bride. How have we ravished His heart? We have given Him our “Yes.”

The Oil of Intimacy

Cindy Arora February 15, 2022

The oil lamp is a beautiful picture of our relationship with the Holy Spirit. God’s Spirit supplies all our needs from His riches in glory (Phil. 4:19). However, we are responsible to fill our lamp with oil (the Holy Spirit) and to light the wick. Shining for Jesus is an intimate partnership with the Spirit of the living God.

This begs the question, “How do you buy oil?” . . . .

Global Bridegroom Fast

Cindy Arora February 1, 2022

I am beginning a 40 day fast this week. Don’t worry, I’ll will not be fasting for 40 consecutive days; those 40 days will be spread over the whole year. I am joining the Bridegroom fast with the International House of Prayer (https://www.ihopkc.org/about/global-bridegroom-fast/).

I fasted one day a week for a season, but that was years ago. I am out of the habit of fasting, so I am a little anxious about this commitment. Can I do it? . . . .

The Proverbs 31 Woman as the Bride of Christ

Cindy Arora March 26, 2019

I would inwardly groan every time someone wanted to study the poem of the Proverbs 31 woman. I felt exhausted and overwhelmed at just the thought of trying to emulate that superwoman. That should have been my first clue that this proverb is a prophetic picture of the Bride of Christ. . . .

I’m excited to share with you the fruit God is producing from the seeds sown in Zimbabwe.

The resident missionaries continue to minister in Jesus’ name weekly at the mine and the neighboring farm. Recently, four men from another mine joined because they “wanted to hear about Jesus.” Praise God!

The farm workers were thrilled to be gifted Bibles in the local language. They started . . .
