Strip Off the Old

Now is the season to go further. 

Strip yourself away from what belongs to the past and the weighty things that you unknowingly carry. It is like an old, heavy, moth-eaten cloak that slows you down as you run for the Kingdom.

Take it off your shoulders and step into my presence to receive the new mantle I have for you. It is a mantle of hope and fine golden embroidery, purposely made for you to regally walk into the perfect plan I have prepared.

Activation:

Ask Holy Spirit if there are any “old coats” you are wearing. Ask Holy Spirit to show you what these “coats” look like. Then, visualise taking off your old coat. Prophetically move forward and look in the spirit. See Jesus as he envelops you with his glorious mantle. You may also want to express the desire for him to infuse 

you with new hope and strength. Finally ask him what is your next step forward. Take your time to listen to the direction he has for you.

Matthew 9:16 (NIV)

No one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, for the patch will pull away from the garment, making the tear worse.  

2 Corinthians 5:17 (NLT)

This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!

Isaiah 65:17 (NIV)

See, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
