The Churchbride, Integrity, and the Power of What We Speak

Discover how the Churchbride is perfected through Christ, why spiritual integrity matters, and how to protect your life force from death, division, and dissolution in relationships.

The Churchbride: Made Perfect Through Christ

The Churchbride is made up of imperfect men and women of God — perfected through Christ. Not by our own efforts or striving, but by His sacrifice of love and blood. He calls us His own, adorns us in moral uprightness, integrity, honesty, authority, righteousness, and receives us as His Bride without hesitation and without blemish. We are imperfectly perfected for Him by Him.

Yet earthly relationships — friendships, partnerships, and kinships — rarely carry this same seamless grace. While Christ, the Bridegroom, never speaks death, division, divorce, or dissolution over His covenant with us, humans sometimes do. He never threatens to abandon His beloved, yet we often ghost Him, wander, and carry out ultimatums to walk away.

Walking in Integrity in Imperfect Relationships

I’ve learned this personally. I am not perfect, nor holier than anyone — except for the version of me I used to be yesterday. Every day, with intention, I choose to grow in integrity, even when that growth costs me.

I’ve lost friends, lovers, and work relationships because they spoke death, division, or dissolution into spaces I was intentionally sowing my life force, energy, prayers, and spirit. I am a giver by nature. But when someone makes it clear they want no access to me in this lifetime, I honor that with grace. I do not keep investing irreplaceable resources into what has been declared dead. Instead, I release it without shame or regret and allow God to redirect me toward the next assignment, person, or place that aligns with His will.

Guarding Your Spirit and Sacred Investments

If you are surrounded by people, places, or things that speak threats of death, division, or dissolution into your life — don’t linger. Treat it like Sodom and Gomorrah. Run, don’t walk, and do not look back.

Why? Because you still carry a righteous seed. You still have the destiny of that righteous seed that must be cultivated. You still have a divine assignment that cannot thrive in poisoned soil. Pray. Allow the Lord to heal your heart, mind, and spirit. Let Him prepare you to plant again in good ground, with people and partnerships that bear Kingdom fruit.

Obedience is the Compass

Obedience is always your compass. If the Lord calls you to forgive and reconcile, do it quickly. If He calls you to remove yourself, do it without shame or regret. Either way — whether through reconciliation or redirection — you are still walking in purpose, free from the sting of death, and fully alive in the love of the Bridegroom who never lets you go.
