Holy Spirit has given me this to share. So here it goes..... That spirit of religion is causing so many to wear garments that isn't even theirs to wear and it is also not only causing others to wear them but it's causing fellow brothers and sisters to place these garments on others unintentionally. Garments of shame, garments of unworthiness, garments of unrighteousness, garments of confusion, garments of heaviness, garments of condemnation, and garments of strife. God has shown this to me and has had me to walk through it for myself to learn this valuable hard lesson. And I'm still learning. It's time people learn to quit receiving these garments as well as wearing them. Not only that but to stop placing them onto others. Until we are healed and we step fully into sonship and knowing our true identities as a child of God and allow God to help us walk out from under that spirit of religion and unravel us as well as to continue to let our wounds go unhealed and undealt with than we will continue to wear these old robes and we will continue to place these old robes onto others. I will say it again old wineskins will not be able to carry the new wine. And sooo many refuse to allow God to deal with the mess and the pain in their own lives and in doing so continue to wear these masks having that underlining spirit of pride and control. It's ok to show yourself broken not only infront of Yahweh but infront of others especially your brothers and sisters. I don't care who you are or how long you've been in ministry or what your title is. Or even how long you have been a Christian. I don't care what anyone says people are not always strong or unbreakable. I feel like so many try so hard to do things from a place of self even unintentionally at times (including myself) instead of letting God be God. They try to control and manipulate others in the process. We try to do His job for Him. I hate to break it to you but God doesn't need our help. He never has. It's because of the love He has for us that he does include us and wants to. There are so many that are preaching messages that don't even realize that the messages they have been given are specifically messages given to them personally by God and not even meant to even be preached to a congregation. Sometimes they feel if they preach it to the congregation, it makes them feel a little better about themselves. I feel led to share that some need to quit going into the quiet place just to receive a word or a message for their church. Instead go in only having the goal to just spend time with your Father! Go vulnerable and broken before Him and let Him heal you in the areas that need to be healed, let Him pour into you, and the rest will follow. There will be overflow. I feel led to share that some of you God has brought you to a place where you need to sit down from being in ministry and take time to just be in the secret place with Him to rest and to heal and allow God to do a work in and through you but you refuse to do so by forcing yourself in places you have no business being in still. Doing so, you are now operating out from under His covering. Because of that there is no grace and things will feel forced and even dead. Some of you He has also spoken things to you that have been so clear but you refuse to accept it or receive it because you don't like change or transition because it's uncomfortable. No matter what the old door will close whether you are ready for it or not.
Papa God wants us set free! We can preach against that spirit all we want but until we allow God to do a work in and through us each individually, we won't see it for what it really is. Please understand there is nothing we can do or can't do that can please God anymore or any less. He is already well pleased with you. When He sees you He sees His son. There is no amount of praying, reading His word, or acting right that will change how God sees us or feels toward us. It is in the place of intimacy with Him that does the changing. It is the Holy Spirit that transforms us. When having that relationship with our Father, that is what makes us want to do all the things we need to grow in Him and to pour into others. We need to come into the understanding that God is steady and unchanging. His feelings towards us do not or will not ever change. It is how we see ourselves, how we see others, and how we see Him that makes all the difference. Until we see Him for who He really is and see ourselves and others for who we really are as His children and heirs to the Kingdom than we will continue to walk around as orphans trying to earn our way and unable to wear the new robes He wants to place upon us. As well as cause others to continue to put on the old clothes as well. People don't like this gospel because it's too easy. He never meant for it to be complicated. Some of us make it harder than it is. The Gospel isn't complicated. The thief on the cross is a perfect example of this.
Take off your old garments and open your hands to receive the new ones that He wants to place on you. Let go of wanting to be in control and give the things that was meant for God to carry and let Him carry them. Quit trying to control others when it's not your job to do so. It's our job to love our brothers and sisters in Christ and share the Father's heart with them and not place a burden and yoke upon them that was never meant for them or even you to carry. That's why Jesus came. We give those things to Him. Help your fellow brothers and sisters to remove those old garments and to put on the new ones.
Isn't God good. Isn't His grace so sufficient that He even works through us even in our times of mess and even in times of us not knowing and receiving truth, to continue to bring Him glory and to bring His goodness to others despite us. He loves you and I. He has redeemed us. He is calling us higher. We must allow ourselves to become so completely broken, humbled, and surrendered so He can dismantle and tear down all the things the enemy and man has tried to place us under so He can build what is really His. Thank you Lord!
