Who clothed you?

“Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel. And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.” Zechariah 3:3-4

There is a spiritual garment on which is determined by who clothed you. Joshua stood before the angel clothed in filthy garments, and those garments became a visible representation of accusation, reproach and limitation. But when God intervened, the filthy garments were removed, and Joshua was clothed with a change of raiment. When God clothes a person, shame is removed, resistance is broken, and divine acceptance is established. God clothes His own with favour, righteousness and power (Psalm 5:12; 2 Corinthians 5:21; Hebrews 1:9).

How you are clothed determines how you are addressed. If a life is constantly resisted, molested, delayed or dishonoured, it is important to examine the garment operating upon that life. Joshua could not remove the filthy garment by himself; he needed divine help. But in Christ, we have been given authority to resist the enemy, and he must flee. We have power over the works of darkness, and our obedience positions us to pull down every opposition raised against the knowledge and purpose of God (James 4:7; 2 Corinthians 10:6; Luke 10:19). When you walk in the wisdom of God, strength and honour become your clothing, and your words carry dignity, grace and authority (Proverbs 31:25–26).

Prophetic Word: Today, every filthy garment of shame, delay, reproach, rejection and resistance is removed from your life. The Lord clothes you with favour, righteousness, honour, wisdom and power. From this day forward, you shall not be addressed by your past, your battles or your mistakes. You shall be recognised by the garment of God upon your life, in Jesus’ name.

Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, I reject every garment placed upon me by the enemy, by error, by fear or by negative words. Lord, let my life reflect Your glory, let my destiny receive divine acceptance, and let every power resisting my progress flee before me. From today, I walk in the garment of wisdom, strength and honour. In Jesus’ mighty name, Amen.
