Revelation 18:4 warns us to leave Babylon or that part of the church that teaches false doctrine, is not open to truth, and is lukewarm or even dead in its relationship with God.

In other words, we must wash ourselves in the water of purification that has the ashes of the old Bride in it and then wash clean the clothes we were wearing that have been soiled by associating with her. We want to be a part of Revelation 7: 13 and 14.

I wonder, if we do not separate, are we truly forgiven? Matthew 13 implies that if we do not separate from the wicked and make our robes white, we will be cast into the furnace with the rest of the evil ones!

According to Revelation 3: 4-5, there are some that will come out of the spiritually dead and naked church if we will make the effort to blow the trumpets and warn them.

If we do refuse to separate from those things and people God sees as unclean, our name will be blotted out of the book of life! We can lose our salvation!

How will the Lord's angel know who to gather in the end? Those that heed the warning to be pure and separate are dressed in special spiritual clothes. The angels can see these clothes as they are spirit beings. Those that do not hear His voice to "come out of her (Babylon) My people", will be naked! Notice He said "My people". The demons can see if we are spiritually naked also!

Side Note: When a wife submits to the covering of her husband, she has protective clothing on that the enemy can see. If not, she is vulnerable. It is the same with our relationship with the church. If we don't receive our leadership as our covering, God (who is the greater husband through them) will not cover us and we will be left exposed to the wiles of the enemy. For a while the enemy may leave us alone so we don't associate the problem. We may not even feel warfare the way we did as a part of a group that are enemies of Satan, but when he gets us where he wants us, he will attack and we will have no covering.

1 Peter 5: 5 describes another spiritual garment we are required to wear.

Robes of humility can only clothe those that really believe it's Christ in them that accomplishes all things. One person is no better than the other. In fact, to be humble is really quite easy if we can just remember, all things of importance were accomplished by God before the earth was formed, and our part is simply to bring the works to this realm. How can we be proud of what somebody else has done? Our own works that were not done by God are worthless and dead, so what is the use of pushing to do them? We receive honor by laying our lives and agendas down so God can use us, but God gets the glory for what He has already accomplished. Therefore, before honor there must be humility.

Being humble also means laying down control of our life and bending to God and His people, as the scripture we just read in First Peter brought out. There are people that walk in so much pride and arrogance that they really believe they are better equipped spiritually than the people God has chosen and given the opportunity to be set in office. These will never wear robes of humility. Their end fate will be the same as Miriam, Korah, Absolom and like kind. Sadly, these also are deceived into believing they are alright with God.

Putting the needs of others over our own is also a sign of being humble and growing in maturity. This is a trait that should be apparent in all of God's family.

When we think of humble people, we many times think of a weak person. The fact is, a humble person is really just one who has a bold confidence in a sovereign and faithful God, and doesn't look at their own accomplishments as anything but God working through them.

Another example of humility: let's say I'm called to pray to cover others as they are bringing forth God's works, but I'd rather do something I consider much more spectacular,. Besides I say to myself, "prayer just takes too much of my personal time". Am I humbly submitting to the call on my life? Am I submitting to my place in the body? Am I obeying God's voice? No to all the above, and my robes would be soiled by my disobedience. The people God entrusted to me to cover would be left naked and open for the enemy's attack. I would never see honor or blessing from God and therefore I will not receive my robe of humility.

When we look on a person that is cocky and proud, one that boasts of his or her ability, gifting or accomplishments, we are looking at a spiritually naked man or woman that is only worth something in this realm! In the kingdom of God, they are poor and naked.

There are people that horde their money while others around them have a need. These worry about their kingdom, their personal family needs over the family of God and their problems. They may devote time and energy to God, but the money they make is theirs! If they do lend money, they want it back (sometimes with interest)! Their garments are moth-eaten the Word says. Try to tell this to a rich man though! He thinks he is dressed quite beautifully in the latest "worldly" fashion. Let us look at him with God's eyes however through the scriptures.

The lukewarm Christian is also one that is fooled by Satan into thinking they are O.K. with God while hanging onto "their" money. The truth of the matter is, nothing is ours beyond what God allows us to be stewards over. To not tithe, or to controlingly keep money for our own without sharing, is robbing God and His people.

We are not to fear and fret over how we will personally eat or what we will wear.

We are instructed in the Word to work to give to others.

Our needs will be met if we meet others' needs.

The lukewarm and rebellious ones that refuse to walk according to scripture will tell you things are going really well financially for them. This may actually be so. But you see, it's not time for judgment just yet. They are fooled into thinking they are rich, or at least doing O.K. beyond where they would have been had they been obedient to the scriptures concerning finances. Read Revelation 3 to get God's opinion on this thinking.

When there is joy and peace in our hearts we love to praise God and there is a beautiful garment that is added to our attire called the garment of praise. Even if we don't feel like praising, we should make the sacrifice of praise to Him anyway. This not only blesses God, but it wards off a supernatural enemy called the spirit of heaviness, or we could call it oppression and depression.

Praise is also the weapon that conquers those that oppose God's people and Kingdom.

Side Note: We also know sound produces color, so as we praise God our garments take on many colors. God's Bride is not dull or dressed like much of the church thinks a Godly person dresses (browns, blacks, subdued). She wears robes of many colors.

She is as vibrant and beautiful as a butterfly. This is the Father's special child, the Lord's true bride, the Warrior Queen.

For God's Warriors there is of course armor that is provided to protect them. Ephesians 6 gives us a detailed description of this armor.

If we are wearing all the clothes we mentioned earlier, plus we put our armor on top, how could we ever be considered naked? Sadly however, we can be found naked as God looks over His flock. How? Warriors that refuse to take orders from their leaders are naked. Prayer warriors out from under church covering are naked. Warriors as we know are meant to be a part of God's army. Those that refuse to be a part of the whole, are not covered and are naked. Warriors that have been appointed by God to a certain position, but break rank, are naked. Those who try to be someone else and do things they are not anointed or appointed to do, and get out of their own swim-lane, are naked, and on and on.

Remember, God sees us through spiritual eyes as does the enemy, and to them many of us are naked!

Unfortunately not only are we naked, but, as mentioned earlier, we are a direct target of Satan and his demons as well. Spiritually naked people are wide open to direct contact and interaction from the dark side of the supernatural. Since Satan is an angel of light many times we don't even realize we are hearing from the wrong side. Remember, he is both good and evil, so the anointing is very close to the same thing. Even the elect will be fooled.

To make sure we are dressed spiritually we should do a mental check of our fruit. Are we obedient? Do we follow advice from our leaders? Do we love the brethren? Are we a part of the spiritual family God put us in? Are we humble? Are we separate from unclean people? Do we stay apart from the corrupt church? Do we walk in righteousness, etc.? Again, look at the fruit of your life. What tree is feeding you? See yourself as God sees you.
