Last night in worship a word came forward that some of us have been wearing clothes other people have put on us.

Listen, it’s time to clean out your wardrobe.

David did not wear another man’s armor-nor should you.

Jesus has named you for a thing. That thing was stored up for you to do while on this side of Heaven.

People will be glad to “dress” you if you let them. One of Satan’s best tactics is flattery. It will puff you up and before you know it you’re wearing what someone else wants you to wear instead of what Jesus custom made for you.

Do you need to change your clothes?

As we were worshipping I saw a woman who looked like a bride taking off one outfit and putting on another.

She was changing her clothes. She had finally realized her true identity. Not necessarily her identity in general in Christ but in the way of purpose and what she was created for.

Here’s the deal. When people have a need they will tell you how great you are at it and hand you some clothes. The trouble is it might not be what Jesus has for you.

Who have others told you that you are? Sometimes it can be negative but other times it can seem positive.

Has the enemy used any flattering tongues to put you into what is a “lower seat?”

The angel of light is deceptive but wise. He knows how to hook us. Sometimes it’s our inability to say, “No.” Sometimes we get nudged so many times that we cave to the pressure, sometimes we have a deep desire to belong, and sometimes he uses others to stroke our ego so much that we step into a place that was never meant for us. Trust me, Satan knows how to “bless you.”

One day we wake up joyless and confused realizing we’ve been wearing someone else’s clothes.

So, whose clothes are you wearing?

Christ has royal robes designed just for you. You’ll never run the race well in a spiritually borrowed wardrobe.

Maybe it’s time you change your clothes and stop wearing spiritual hand me downs.
