The Garment Was Made for You
“The holy garments of Aaron shall be his sons’ after him, to be anointed in them and to be consecrated in them.” Exodus 29:29 (NKJV)
The garments your parents and grandparents wore were never meant to stay with them. They were made with you in mind. The calling wasn’t just for them - it’s for you now. The same garment of prayer, faith, purity, and power that marked their walk with God is being handed to you. Not a new garment. The same one.
You may admire the faith of your mom or the strength of your grandfather’s prayer life, but admiration isn’t enough. Scripture doesn’t say Aaron’s sons admired his garments. It says they wore them.
You were never meant to just admire the faith of your family. You were meant to walk in it.
This generation doesn’t need something brand new. It needs someone bold enough to wear what still fits. The garment of consecration still fits. The garment of holiness still fits. The garment of sexual purity, of prayer, of fasting, of worship - they still wear well in this generation. Don’t believe the lie that those things were for “back then.” They were designed for right now.
You are living in the fruit of someone else’s sacrifice. You are drinking from wells you didn’t dig and living in spiritual houses you didn’t build. That means you have a responsibility, not to reinvent the faith, but to continue it. Don’t lower the standard. Don’t water down the call. Wear what they wore and walk in the same power.
And let’s flip the script. This isn’t just about parents laying hands on children. What if the children rose up and laid hands on their parents? What if your encouragement, your faith, your strength in the Spirit became the very thing that lifted them in a moment of weakness? That’s when we stop playing church and start being the church, as sons and daughters, as Aarons and Eliezars, wearing the same garment together.
You may feel unqualified. But if you are willing, God is ready. There is a garment waiting for you. Don’t just admire it. Wear it. And wear it well.
