Last night I had a dream about going to a wedding , also there was my
father who is dead and a man I went to high school with .
In the dream I was
thinking what should I wear , I remembered this suit I always wore back in
the seventies .I thought within myself I didn't want to wear that suit because it
was too old . I wanted to wear a new suit . Then I woke up out of the dream . I
start thinking about Matthew 22. 1-14 It talks about a marriage where
a guest did not have a wedding garment on .
And Jesus answered and spake unto them again by parables, and said, 2The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain king, which made a marriage for his son, 3And sent forth his servants to call them that were bidden to the wedding: and they would not come. 4Again, he sent forth other servants, saying, Tell them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my dinner: my oxen and my fatlings are killed, and all things are ready: come unto the marriage. 5But they made light of it, and went their ways, one to his farm, another to his merchandise: 6And the remnant took his servants, and entreated them spitefully, and slew them. 7But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth: and he sent forth his armies, and destroyed those murderers, and burned up their city. 8Then saith he to his servants, The wedding is ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 9Go ye therefore into the highways, and as many as ye shall find, bid to the marriage. 10So those servants went out into the highways, and gathered together all as many as they found, both bad and good: and the wedding was furnished with guests. 11And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 14For many are called, but few are chosen. Mt. 22

We can't dress in old man ... must put on the new man ...The old man wears his own ideas, way of flesh. The new man is recreated after God in image of the word which is Jesus. We are continually renewed in the image of Jesus as long as we live on this earth. We read Bible and listen to Spirit of God and change accordingly. This way we dress appropriately for the wedding.
