10/28/2024 – “For we know that old self was crucified with Him in order that sin’s dominion over the body may be abolished, so that we no longer be enslaved to sin,” Romans 6:6 // Insert: Symbolism of Joshua’s filthy rags – Zechariah 3: 1 – 6 (below)
Wearing The old Self
Monday, October 28, 2024
Have you ever been in a situation where you had to go through the day wearing yesterday’s dirty clothes? It feels as though you’re breaking some sort of clothing law – not a great feeling. The New Testament speaks of putting away the old self and putting on the new. In the original language, it speaks in terms of clothing. It’s natural to see your old self as your true identity. The key is to see it in a new way – as clothes – not who you are, but simply what you have worn – no longer you – and not just clothes, but old clothes. If you’re born again, you’re no longer that old person. It’s simply a case of wearing yesterday clothes. The Bible says you are now a beloved child. It’s a new day of new beginnings, salvations, and miracles. You just forgot to take off yesterday’s clothes. That person you used to be isn’t you anymore. It’s just a set of old dirty clothes. So by faith and in God’s Spirit, start taking off those old clothes today. It’s never a good thing to wear yesterday’s clothes.
From Message #377 – Old Clothes, New Clothes
Scripture: Romans 6:6
TODAY’S MISSION – Are you wearing the clothes of yesterday? Put off the old self and put on the new.

Insert: Symbolism of “filthy garments”
Read about Joshua’s filthy garments, standing before the angel. Zechariah 3: 1 – 7
Zechariah 3:1-7. – Entire article – see link below – The symbolism of the filthy garments explained.
1 And he shewed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to resist him.
2 And the LORD said unto Satan, The LORD rebuke thee, O Satan; even the LORD that hath chosen Jerusalem rebuke thee: is not this a brand plucked out of the fire?
3 Now Joshua was clothed with filthy garments, and stood before the angel.
4 And he answered and spake unto those that stood before him, saying, Take away the filthy garments from him. And unto him he said, Behold, I have caused thine iniquity to pass from thee, and I will clothe thee with change of raiment.
5 And I said, Let them set a fair mitre upon his head. So they set a fair mitre upon his head, and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD stood by.
6 And the angel of the LORD protested unto Joshua, saying,
7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; If thou wilt walk in my ways, and if thou wilt keep my charge, then thou shalt also judge my house, and shalt also keep my courts, and I will give thee places to walk among these that stand by.
