Beloved, all of the work I have been doing in your heart to prepare you to walk into your Kingdom assignment is about to manifest. Everything that I have poured into you I Am bringing out of you. Everything I have been preparing in you in the secret place is about to be made known. Remember, you were created to know Me and to make Me known. And you cannot make Me known if you lock everything I have revealed to you up on the inside of you. It is time for your true identity in Me to be displayed on the outside. It is time for what I planted on the inside of you to be birthed out.
Beloved, you were created to shine and no longer to be hidden under a bushel. Everything that you are is to be shared with the nations because you are a unique expression of Me. It is time for you to live in the freedom that I created you to live, to live as My daughter and as a royal citizen of My Kingdom. The only way others will know about My Kingdom is to see it manifested in and through you.
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. - Matthew 5:14-15 - NKJV
You have kept me from being conquered by my enemy; you broke open the way to bring me to freedom, into a beautiful, broad place. - Psalm 31:8 - TPT
After all, you are one of My representatives and you need to dress the part and no longer to be afraid to express who you are spiritually and see it spilled out into the natural.
Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. - 2 Corinthians 5:20 - NKJV
I Am the God of excellence and I Am asking you to put on the mantle I gave you and dress for the role. I have given you a clear vision of what I have called you to put your hands to for Me, dearest one. How will others know that you are My messenger unless you dress like one?
Unfortunately, as long as you are living in this world, you will need to dress for your Kingdom assignment so that those who do not yet know you can take you seriously as My messenger.
Remember, whatever you do or do not do in My name is seen by others. You may have felt invisible most of your life, but there are always people who are watching you, who are listening to what you speak and watching what you do, especially in times of trouble.
Yes, actions are very important but also the way you steward what I gave to you is equally important, at least, to catch the attention of others and point them to Me.
The term “dress for success” may be defined as “to dress nicely, in the hope of inviting success in a particular area.” Beloved, if you desire to be taken seriously in a particular role, it is necessary to dress the part so that others can see that role and approach you accordingly. When you dress and walk in the spirit, you are inviting Kingdom success into your life.
You have all become true children of God by faith in Jesus Christ! Faith immersed you into Christ, and now you are covered and clothed with his life. - Galatians 3:26-27 - TPT
Like it or not, people’s first impression of you is the doorway to get you heard. We live in a visual world, and as part of living in that visual world, it requires us to draw attention to ourselves by how we look. When you dress the part, others can then see past the initial view and it opens them up to hear what you have to say. Put on My love, dearest one, and they shall see My love for them in you and they shall see themselves as I see them, as who I created them to be in Christ.
But let us who are of the day be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and as a helmet the hope of salvation. - 1 Thessalonians 5:8 - NKJV
But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. - Colossians 3:14 - NKJV
I once heard the saying “dress for the job you want.” I am not at all saying that it will guarantee you the job. Sometimes, even before you get the job, dressing for it can put you in the right frame of mind and heart to focus on what you have been called to do. And, do not forget to put on My armor so that in the contending, you shall have the divine advantage to tear down every stronghold and everything that the enemy of your soul sets against you.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. - Ephesians 6:11-12 - NKJV
If you can speak who God says you are and dress like who God says you are, it is easier to see who you are and walk accordingly, and they shall the see My greatness on the inside of you shine.
and that you put on the new man which was created according to God, in true righteousness and holiness. - Ephesians 4:24 - NKJV
But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law. - Galatians 5:22-23 - NKJV
Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. - Isaiah 60:1 - NKJV
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. - Matthew 5:16 - NKJV
Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, longsuffering; - Colossians 3:12 - NKJV
