Garments

I was praying for Tehillah tonight and the LORD gave me this vision. In front of me was one of those old-fashioned machines that weeved fabrics. It was sitting in water and in front of it sat a small wooden chair. The LORD said to go and sit down. I told Him that I would get my feet wet and He said that they needed to be washed and that was why the water was there. So, I went and sat on the chair. As soon as I sat down the machine began to weeve. I reached out and touched a thread and instantly I was reminded of a time with the LORD where it was just me and Him. I touched another thread and another time past before me. Every thread held a time with my LORD. I reached out and touched the garmet that was being made and it was soft like cotton. The garmet was full of perfectly straight stripes of all colors. The LORD said that He was making a robe of righteousness for me to wear. He said that every moment that I spend with Him is the very woven fabric. As I sat there, my feet in the water, He said that He is washing my feet and purifying me. He said that when we come and sit at this place is when He draws us to Himself. Those times of intimacy with Him purifies us and gets us ready for the garments and the robes that are being prepared for us to be clothed in. The LORD wants to clothe His children in righteousness. We must have intimacy with the LORD. There must be an individual along with the corporate seeking of His face. There is a desire for love rising up within Christian men and women's hearts and the LORD is trying to tell us that only He can satisfy. Until we learn what it means to be 'in love' with the LORD we cannot expect for Him to give us the desires of our hearts. He knows the desires of the heart. There is nothing that is hidden from Him. But, He is a jealous God who longs for us. Nothing on earth can compare to His love. Once we understand this, everything else just falls into its place in its perfect time.

I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation, he hath covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decketh himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorneth herself with her jewels.
For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
Isaiah 61:10-11
