clothed in righteousness

When I read Isaiah 6:1 a picture comes to mind of the throne room in heaven with the church (universal body of Christ) surrounding the throne. Just Like Isaiah describes the train of the robe that adorns our Heavenly Father fills the temple and clothes each member of the church universal. But overlooking this seen I see a problem because some of the children have or are in the process of shaking off the righteousness of God (the Train of His robe), and they stand there chin up and proud just like the emperor with his new clothes in the children's fable like Hans Christian Anderson thinking that they are clothed in a righteousness of their own design but in truth they stand their bare and in rags(Isaiah 64:4-9). They have forgotten where our righteousness comes from; for it comes from the Messiah who spilled His blood for each of us. They have forgotten Ephesians 2:8-9, and Isaiah 64:4-9 this was why Isaiah in chapter 6 vs 5 said "Woe unto me for I am an unclean man with unclean lips. it is only with the righteousness of Jesus Christ that we can stand in the presence of Almighty God. Yet some in the church today think that they can stand naked before God in pride with what they feel they have accomplished. Woe unto the church in America for we have lost our first love and until we seek His face with humility; asking to be clothed in his Righteousness we will never be able to stand girding the belt of truth which holds in place the breastplate of righteousness. Only then will we be able to stand firm against the attacks of the devil. the breastplate is not ours it is given or imputed to us from Christ. none of the Armour belongs to us nor have we earned it it is given to us from our Father through Jesus Christ.

Woe unto me Lord for I am unclean my lips are unclean and my heart is deceitful and wicked i pray that you bring me a coal from that same fire and purge me cleanse me with your Holy Spirit and make me whole show me the masterpiece that you see in me and that you desire to make out of me (Ephesians 2:10) chisel away everything in me that is not of you, and send me. where ever you ask what ever you ask I am yours to command.
