As we mature in our walk with The Lord we will grow from independence to dependence. This is opposite the natural order where as we progress
toward adulthood we become independent. To enter the Kingdom of God we must become as little
children. In the school of the Spirit we have different uniforms that the Lord wants us to put on.
One is the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness (Isa 61:3). Everything
in the Kingdom is opposite the world. The Lord gives us the garment of praise. The world gives us the spirit of
heaviness that weights us down and keeps us from running the race toward the High Calling.
Blessed are the poor in spirit. The more we grow in the knowledge of God the more helpless we
are. There is an incredible liberty in this heart attitude that the Lord is birthing in
us. To become dependent upon Him is to release Him in our life. To trust Him with all that
relates to us. To acknowledge Him in all our ways is to demonstrate by word and deed a complete
heart reliance upon Him. And wonder of wonders our life comes into divine order. If
we allow it the Lord, will take us through a process where He re-clothes us. He will
strip away our worldly garments....attitudes….of pride...of independence, of self-reliance and clothe us with dependence, with humility and contriteness! The “New Song” we will sing
before the Lord in the book of Revelation is born out of who we have become as we have allowed the
Lord to re-clothe us and cause us to move in harmony with the Holy Spirit. A beautiful Bride that has made herself ready for the return
of The Lord.
