Leave the Grave Clothes Behind

I am the resurrection and the life. But, many prefer darkness to the true light. Like Lazarus, many have died inside and they are seeking satisfaction in the world. They are after temporary fixes for that craving and they think that they have overcome it. Like the Samaritan woman, they kept on chasing lifeless idols. 

I AM the resurrection and the life. 

Whoever believes in Me will have a new life in Me. 

David was the man after My own heart; But, it didn’t stop Me from bringing him to his knees. The longer he walked in disobedience, the more he suffered. I forgave his sins when he repented, but there were consequences for his choices.

Remember! I do not change. I AM the same, yesterday, today and forever.

You can’t keep yourself hidden away; I know the fullness of who you are.

Be upfront with me for it is my desire to see you set free.

Step into the light, my child! 

Activation: If you are hiding anything from God, this is the time to be authentic and vulnerable before Him. He cannot roll the stone for you until you come before Him in humility. When you come to Him, He will not leave you alone, instead, He will walk with you to freedom if you allow Him to. So, what is stopping you from being unbound from your grave clothes?

Luke 12:1-3 (MSG)

By this time the crowd, unwieldy and stepping on each other’s toes, numbered into the thousands. But Jesus’ primary concern was his disciples. He said to them, “Watch yourselves carefully so you don’t get contaminated with Pharisee yeast, Pharisee phoniness. You can’t keep your true self hidden forever; before long you’ll be exposed. You can’t hide behind a religious mask forever; sooner or later the mask will slip and your true face will be known. You can’t whisper one thing in private and preach the opposite in public; the day’s coming when those whispers will be repeated all over town.

Psalm 51:10-12 (NASB)

Create in me a clean heart, God, 

And renew a steadfast spirit within me. 

Do not cast me away from Your presence, 

And do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. 

Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, 

And sustain me with a willing spirit.
