I began to hear this in church last night 3.25.15…..
“Take off the grave clothes! Take off the grave clothes! Take off the clothes of the dead – dead works, dead religion and the dead things you have been delivered out of! The things you refuse to give up are grave clothes, DEAD things and they stink! They smell. It is a stench in my nostrils. This smell manifests itself in frustration, anger, depression, and every evil work that it can. It brings DEATH. It IS death!
Some of you have already been unwrapped from layers and layers of “dead cloth” – layers of false religion, works mentality, wrong ways of thinking, serving, doing, being, and you continue to go back to that damp, dark, dirty grave and try to put those clothes back on! You stink! And you wonder why there is no joy flowing in your life!… wonder why there is no life in your words! You are carrying around dead men’s clothing and burial cloths!
Some of you are carrying around mantles and ideas of dead relatives and their religion…their idea for you – not Mine! They stink too! Would you carry a corpse around? WOULD YOU CARRY A DEAD BODY PART AROUND? NO! But, you do it everyday in the spirit realm and it stinks! You look like the walking dead – and there is no life in it. However, It is not enough to throw these things down, it is not enough to walk away from them, for as a fool returns to his folly, so will you return to these dead things. You must burn them! Burn these cloths in the consuming fire of My presence! Let me burn these dead desires, false responsibilities, false mantles, rules of man and dead works, let me burn these out of you once and for all.
I am LIFE! I am PEACE! I am JOY! If you are going to walk in the fullness of My joy, and My Spirit, you must walk in LIFE. Cast of the dead clothing of the past, and clothe yourself in Me, in the armor of God and My righteousness, says the Lord, and I will give you peace and joy”.
… then today, I (Kelita) began to think about dead things – dead things on the side of the road – it attracts vultures, bugs, maggots, vermin. It is a breeding ground for disease, and it truly does SMELL.
FATHER! Show us our blind spots! Show us if we are carrying around dead works! Show us the things we have been delivered from only to run back and gather them again- thinking we need them, thinking it is our identity – thinking it is a part of who we are! Re-sensitize us to holiness! Forgive us for the stench that we have carried around – some by choice, some by blindness, but forgive us! Your Word says if confess our sin, He is faithful and just to forgive us and CLEANSE us from ALL unrighteousness! (1John 1:9) We repent and we will submit to Your holy fire for the cleansing process. Thank You for loving us enough to set us free – over and over again. What an awesome God You are!
