"Who are you and what are you wearing"

"Cross-dressing"
You don't always know what is in someones closet or who they really are until they come out wearing something totally different than who they seem to be. We think that cross dressing is only found in a certain culture in this world. It can be pretty deceptive knowing someone or thinking you know them until they show up in an outfit that doesn't meet their gender. But I understand this because of the darkness we live in the dark that you can't see because many have not come to the Light. But what is more astonishing, or disturbing when you begin to see the same thing in the christian as you see in the world. Perhaps not the clothes cross dressing and changing of genders. I have found even more perplexing, that there are many in the church, the bride of Christ, that after receiving Christ, having tasted of His goodness, made partakers of the Holy Spirit and to know of the age to come, still are cross dressing. You don't always notice them right away, but in time they come out when you would lest expect, their heart is revealed and it is like light has been taken off and darkness begins walking around, displaying the styles of jealousy, strife, control and manipulation.They continue to take off the armor of light, the robs of righteousness and put on the deeds of darkness just to satisfy their flesh. But Paul says in Rom 13:11-14 to put off the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light. Surrender these clothes of darkness, of drunkenness, sexual promiscuity, strife and jealousy and put on Christ. Do not go into those areas thinking you need to now take off the armor of Light and put on the darkness so you can relate, that will imprison you. How and why can this be Lord? then it came to me. These that keep putting on and taking off Christ have never really surrender. Have never laid a foundation of the secret place with Christ a history of prayer. They have not given all only ten percent which is ninety percent less than what Christ requires, which is all of us. 
We all have baggage with clothes that don't belong on us that needs to be surrendered and exchanged for robs of righteousness. The Lord would say."Come now all you who are heavy laden throw away the old cloths, come into My yoke, for I have clothed and filled you My Spirit. Lay it all down, come bask in the Holy Spirit. Give Me the five loaves and two fishes and I will multiply it and your time in My secret place will be enlarged. Then this urge, this desire, this strife to fulfill the works of darkness will be broken from you and again you will see and walk with your head lifted high and proud to wear the Spirit wherever you are. "You will be clothed with My glory and darkness will be turned to Light.  

"Come now put on the breastplate of faith and love and the helmet of salvation!"1 Thessalonians 5:8
