The Six Brides of the Modern Church (By Apostle Lily Dsouza | Apostolic Prophetic Church Foundation International)

1. The Radiant Bride

• Posture: Humble and holy

• Purpose: Hosting the glory of God

• Proximity: Intimate with the Bridegroom

• Scripture: Ephesians 5:27

• Mandate: Raise her up — pure, powerful, prepared
  

2. The Sleeping Bride

• Posture: Reclined

• Purpose: Misunderstood

• Proximity: Distant from the Groom’s voice

• Needs: Prophetic trumpet, apostolic shaking
  

3. The Carnal Bride

• Posture: Divided loyalty

• Purpose: Blurred by worldliness

• Proximity: Outwardly near, inwardly far

• Warning: Friendship with the world is enmity with God (James 4:4)
  

4. The Religious Bride

• Posture: Ritualistic

• Proximity: Busy for God but not being with God

• Scripture: Matthew 15:8 – “These people honor Me with their lips…”
  

5. The Rejected Bride

• Posture: Wounded but worshipful

• Purpose: Often hidden for refining

• Proximity: Close to the heart of God

• Scripture: Isaiah 62:4 – “No longer called Forsaken…”
