Cloak, robe continued…

 Cloak, robe continued….

Yesterday was Paul’s cloak…he asked for its return, it must have been special to him for some reason…but as I was thinking about that garment, I wondered about other robes spoken of in the Word…

All resonated lessons to be learned…I looked at my closest of coats, robes…they all have a purpose…some even have memories attached to them or why I bought it , when I wear them…where will they go eventually…

Thank YOU….

A few…

A coat of favor, jealousy to be replaced later with a cloak of authority and used for saving a nation…

Ps.93.1

 The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is on me,because the Lord has anointed me to  proclaim good news to the poor.

He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted,

to proclaim freedom for the captives and release from darkness for the prisoners, 

to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor and the day of vengeance of our God,

to comfort all who mourn,     

and provide for those who grieve in Zion—

to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes,

the oil of joy instead of mourning,

and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair.

They will be called oaks of righteousness,a planting of the Lord for the display of his splendor.

And they cried out in a loud voice:“Salvation belongs to our God,who sits on the throne,and to the Lamb.” 

All the angels were standing around the throne and around the elders and the four living creatures. 

They fell down on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, saying:“Amen!Praise and glory and wisdom and thanks and honorand power and strengthbe to our God for ever and ever.Amen!” 

Then one of the elders asked me, “These in white robes—who are they, and where did they come from?”

Healing…

 So Jesus went with him.A large crowd followed and pressed around him. And a woman was there who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years. She had suffered a great deal under the care of many doctors and had spent all she had, yet instead of getting better she grew worse. 

When she heard about Jesus, she came up behind him in the crowd and touched his cloak, because she thought, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be healed.” 

Immediately her bleeding stopped and she felt in her body that she was freed from her suffering. 

At once Jesus realized that power had gone out from him. 

He turned around in the crowd and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” “You see the people crowding against you,” his disciples answered, “and yet you can ask, ‘Who touched me?’

“But Jesus kept looking around to see who had done it. 

Then the woman, knowing what had happened to her, came and fell at his feet and, trembling with fear, told him the whole truth. 

He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has healed you. Go in peace and be freed from your suffering.”
