Wrap yourself in Zeal
So many times you find yourself sunk in a spirit of complaint... a mood of unhappiness and sloppiness... You start blaming circumstances, people in your life, sometimes the government and even God! You feel like a couch potato and just don't feel like moving an inch... Guess what? You've taken off your cloak! You hadn't noticed that, have you? You've taken off your zeal. You've taken off your anointing and you feel so dull... You've been fooled, you've been enslaved. A slave to your flesh, a slave to your emotions, a slave to your fears, a slave to your comfort, enslaved and poisoned by your enemies...
When God was getting ready to save His people from captivity in Egypt, He gave clear instructions on how they were to eat the Passover Lamb, which represented the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross. He told Israel: "This is how you are to eat it: with your cloak tucked into your belt, your sandals on your feet and your staff in your hand. Eat it in haste; it is the LORD's Passover." (Ex 12:11).
Jesus' cross is the biggest live evidence of God's zeal and determination. God wants to save you! God wants you delivered. God wants to put His zeal in you so you can snatch your blessing back from the devil. It is time to put on the full armor of God and anoint your ministry and your life with oil! It's time to take back what you've lost.
God's Word tells you to put on your cloak! Jesus put on his cloak and armed himself with zeal to die for you on the cross!
"He put on righteousness as his breastplate, and the helmet of salvation on his head; he put on the garments of vengeance and wrapped himself in zeal as in a cloak." (Is 59:17)
Face your enemy! Face your fears! Wrap yourself with the cloak of zeal! Break all bondage! Break all fear! Wear your anointing and cross over to the other side... there's no time to waste.... a supernatural life awaits you. A victorious path is ahead of you.
“He picked up the cloak that had fallen from Elijah and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan. Then he took the cloak that had fallen from him and struck the water with it. "Where now is the LORD, the God of Elijah?" he asked. When he struck the water, it divided to the right and to the left, and he crossed over.” (2 Ki 2:13-14)
