Welcome, welcome, welcome to Breakfast with Jesus. This is Evangelist Linda Teresa Benjamin, the host. The topic this morning is a Christian woman's wardrobe clothed by Yahweh for kingdom purposes. The foundational scripture comes from Genesis chapter 3, verses 21, which says unto Adam also and to his wife that the Lord God made coats of skin and clothed them. The other scripture is Ephesians chapter 6, 11, which says, Put on the whole armor of God that he may be able to stand against the wires of the devil. And the third scripture is Revelation chapter 3, verses 5A, which state, He that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white raiment. Heavenly Father, speak to me and through me. You promise your word will not come back to you void, but it will accomplish its purpose. Let me diminish, let them hear you, and let them see you. In Jesus' almighty name. Amen. Yes, this morning is the Christian woman's wardrobe. And the opening reflection states, Christian woman, how are you feeling this morning? Too often we have heard what we cannot do, where we cannot go, and how we should stay in our own lane. Yet woman has birthed sons, nurse sons, raised sons, educated sons, and nurtured sons. Still, many women are looked upon as though they are still clothed only in coat of skin and filthy rags, rather than being seen as educated, upright, and called by Yahweh to do his kingdom work. But take heart, this morning I want to share the necessity of the Christian woman's wardrobe. A wardrobe chosen by Yahweh and made up of the coat of skin, the filthy rags, a white robe, and the crown of righteousness. Yes, the robe chosen by Yahweh. What is this robe? A robe is more than clothing, it is a covering, a testimony, and a sign of our identity. In scripture, what a person wears often points to what Yahweh has done, what Yahweh is doing, and what Yahweh had promised. The Christian woman's wardrobe tells the story of grace, growth, victory, and eternal reward. First, the coat of skin, which is a covering of grace, is seen in Genesis chapter 3, verses 21. Where Adam and Eve sinned. Yahweh made a coat of skin and clothed them. Clothed them, not only Eve, he clothed them. Both Adam and Eve were clothed in the coat of skin. This was more than a practical garment, it was a picture of mercy. Humanity tried to cover shame with thick skin and leaves. But Yahweh provided a better covering. Yahweh always provides something better. He did not leave his creation exposed to their nakedness and shame and abandon. He covered them with covered them up so that their shame will not be exposed. Christian woman, you do not have to live under the label of failure, of rejection, of limitation. Yahweh grace became the first garment in our wardrobe. It is our first garment. You can walk around saying, I am now covered. I am covered by the mercies of Yahweh. You are no longer wearing the coat of skin. Secondly, the filthy rags, which is exchanging self-righteousness for surrender. In Isaiah chapter 64, verses 6a, we are told that we are an unclean things. We all are unclean. We all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. We all are sinners. If we say we are not sinners, the Bible says we are liar and the truth are not with us. Isaiah is telling us we are all unclean things, and all our righteousness are filthy rats, and we are all do and we all do fade as a leaf. The filthy rats reminds us that human effort alone cannot make us righteous before Yahweh. There are garments we must be willing to take off. They are filthy garments we have to be willing to take off. And these filthy garments are pride, bitterness, fear, comparison, you know, where we compare each one of compare ourselves with other people or compare other people with us. No comparison. We have to take off that filthy rags. We have to take off that filthy rags of shame and the need to prove ourselves to others, to other people who never had the authority to define us. No one has the authority to define us except God. We need to put on bowels of mercy, kindness, meekness. We need to feed our enemies, and we need to overcome evil with good. Yes, women, Christian women, Yahweh dressed us in righteousness, his righteousness. He calls us to release what we had been soiled by sin. We have to release what has been soiled by pain, release what we have been soil by self-dependency. And we must not confuse busyness, titles, and outward appearance with truth spiritual covering. Christian women, we have to lay down our filthy garment and put on the righteous garment of Jesus Christ. Our garment has to reflect Yahweh's purpose for our life. The third thing that we need to wear is a Christian armor, the whole armor of God. We need to dress to stand firm. Ephesians chapter 6, verses 11. Tells us believers to put on the whole armor of God. We need to put on the whole armor of God so that we may stand against the wiles of the devil. This part of our room is not for decoration. It is for spiritual warfare. Christian woman, we are in a spiritual warfare. We have to take off our coats of skin, take off our filthy rags, and we need to put on the armor of God so that we can stand firm. So we can be rooted and grounded. Yahweh does not call his daughters into the kingdom purpose, into kingdom purpose without equipping us to stand firm. He gave us a belt of truth to hold our identity together. What is our identity? We are heir of salvation. We are children of God. We have to put on that belt of truth and know who we are. We are children of God. Do not lose your identity. Take the breastplate of righteousness. He gave us that breastplate so that we could guard our heart. Because out of the heart the mouth speaketh. He gave us the shoe of peace so that we can walk in stability. We can walk in the light. We can walk straight in the straight and narrow road that leads unto life everlasting. He gave us the shield of faith to protect you from the fiery darts of doubts and fear and accusation. And he gave you a helmet of salvation to cover your head and keep your mind stayed on him, to keep your mind thinking of things above. He grants you the sword of the spirit, which gives it gives you the word of Yahweh to speak in battle. That is your battle word. That is your battle axe. The spirit of God, the word, which is a two-edged sword, it cut it sin and Satan asunder. Because Jesus said our weakness is made, he it makes him perfect. He likes when we are weak, so he can come in and show us his strength, his omnipotence, his omniscence. You are powerful because you are equipped. You are equipped with an armor. You are equipped because you have Christ's righteousness. You are equipped because you are covered. Under the arc of safety, you are covered. The armor must be worn daily through prayer, obedience, truth, faith, and in the word. You have to keep your armor on. You are in a battle, a spiritual battle. You cannot take off your armor. You are dressed for battle so that you can stand in the strength of Yahweh. Fourthly, the white robe. The white robe, the clothes of victory. Revelation 3:5 promises us that the one who overcomes shall be clothed in white raiment. The white robe speaks of moral and spiritual purity, victory and belonging to Yahweh. It reminds us that the final word over our life is not struggle, accusation, or defeat, but overcoming through faith. The final word is not the person on earth here. Our final word comes from Yahweh, the one who gave us our gift, the one who gave us our purpose. He has the final word. Yahweh does not only cover us, his children, his daughters, but he cleanses us, he restores us, and he presents us victorious, dressed in white. Christian woman can walk in holiness without walking in condemnation. We are no longer in condemnation. Your robe is white because Yahweh had made you clean. He has purred you with Issa. He has washed you with the blood of the Lamb. You are now cleansed. You can stand firm in your faith to accomplish the purpose God has for you. And only you know the purpose. Only you know the vision, only you know the dream, only you hold the call. No one can tell you that you did not hear the call. That is between you and God. It's between you and God. The crown of righteousness is the fifth clothing you need to wear, and it's the reward for faithfulness. Scripture reminds us in 2 Timothy 4:8 and 2 Corinthians, 2 Corinthians chapter 5, verses 10, and 1 Corinthians chapter 9, verses 25. That we will all stand before the judgment seat of Yahweh and give account for what we have done in the body, each and every one of us. Man, woman, child, male, female, we all have to give account for what we have done in the body. Those who remain faithful will receive an incorruptible crown, the crown of righteousness. This crown is not given for pride, for status, or human appalls. It is reserved for those who love his appearing. Fight the good fight, finish the course, and keep the faith. Yes, brothers and yes, sisters, you have been given a righteous crown, you have been given a white robe, you have been clothed in an armor for spiritual warfare, and your filthy rags was taken away, and your coat of skin was taken away. What people overlook, Yahweh remembers. What people dismiss, Yahweh rewards. Christian women must not get grow wary in good doing, in well doing. Faithfulness may be hidden from people, but is never hidden from Yahweh. Keep the faith, finish your course, and receive what Yahweh has prepared for you. Closing charge. Christian women, do not allow the world to define your wardrobe, your calling or your limits. Yahweh has already chosen what you are to wear and has entrusted you with kingdom gift. Each one of you have your own gift. You are not dressed merely for appearances, you are clothing for kingdom work. Whether it is to preach, whether it's to teach, whether it's to evangelize, you are clothed for your kingdom purpose. Be covered by grace. Surrender every filthy rags. You don't longer need those filthy rags. Surrender. Give it up. Put on the whole armor of God and walk in your white robe of victory. Walk with your head held high. Look forward to the prayer of righteousness. That's your charge this morning. Call to discipleship. Listeners of the word of God. Allow his word to come alive in your heart. Let the Holy Spirit guide you to receive Yahshua as your Savior. Acknowledge that he died so you may have eternal life. Respond with repentance, faith, and baptism. Close in prayer. Heavenly Father, our Creator and Defender, we thank you for your everlasting mercy and grace in our life. Continue to clothe us, protect us from harm and danger, guide our steps, heal our brokenness, and restore our faith and fellowship in Yahshua's name. May the grace of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit rest, remain, and abide with us now and forevermore. Follow me on broadcast podsport iHeartSpotify and upper podcasts.
