The solution is simple. Just take off those dirty clothes. (The old man) Strip off those alter-egos and disguises and masks.

We need to change the way we think. It didn't work for us before, so what makes us think it will work for us now? Just like Benjamin Franklin said once. He defined insanity as repeating the same behavior over and over and expecting different results. You know what the problem is? You keep digging in the hamper for those same dirty clothes you took off. People don't normally take off dirty clothes and then bathe and put the same dirty clothes back on. You put on clean clothes.

These are the kind of things that we should be thinking about. Its not as hard as we make things look. We just allow too many worldly influences to cloud our judgment. We allow our emotions to dictate who we are so that we cannot attain the fulness of Christ. This is the Modus Operandi  (MO, mode of operation) of the devil. How can the devil be influencing a child of God? Very easily. Thou shalt not lie. When you project something other than yourself that is falsehood, same as a lie. We need to repent.

That's the new man. That other one should still be on the bottom of the baptismal pool or the river or the lake you were baptised in. You know what? I started to come out of my shell well before I came to Christ. I found out that the real me hiding behind all the facades was someone people liked to be around. People were interested in what I had to say. I lost my fear of what people thought about me and I became bolder in the way I expressed myself. The problem was I still had a lot of anger issues to deal with which took me a while to get over but I eventually got over them a long time ago. Sure there are things that I don't even remember because I had buried them so deep. That's why God is so good because he searches our hearts and lets us see that a lot of the times its not always the other person. The problem is in us. Then when these things do come to the surface don't try to keep it down. The reason we struglle is because we keep trying to resist change. I heard someone say once that if she didn't have the anger she didn't know how she can cope. The reason we never developed emotionally is that we avoid going through the emotions. You see that's what being born-again is really all about. We get another chance to get it right This will help you to understand the concept of the first Adam and the Second Adam. The first one messed up but the second one made it right. A baby doesn't know anything when it is born but when we get born again we think we know everything. That's why Jesus said we have to become as a child. We need to get it together brethren. How are you going to be able to minister effectively if you still got issues you need to deal with? I hope this helps some of you. Some of you will just get Very defensive and some will even get critical but its alright. That just shows that you need to really do some soul searching and see where the issues originated. If you need to talk and you need some help to get through some of the junk I'm here for you. Don't even try to do this if you're not serious. I'll say things you are not going to like because it will hit a nerve. The truth hurts. Don't hate though because as a Prophet God uses me this way, and he tells me stuff about people but its all for good. God has allowed me to help transform many people's lives, and I've seen families reconciled and marriages restored, and I enjoy seeing the results of sound teaching and biblical truth. Don't keep shuffling your feet around and hold your head up and pull your shoulders back. Walk like a child of the King. Tell the devil to loose that tongue and start talking like you have the authority the bible says you have. Stop wallowing in self-pity and don't allow fear to cause you to continue in the same behavior you had before you came to Christ. Its all about Jesus! God bless you and shalom!
