Overview

"Someone, quick! Call the supper to an end and tell us who you really are beneath your churchy look and your pious posture. Tell us something that makes us comfortable with our own nudity. We have carefully hidden our struggles and paraded only our victories, but the whole country is falling asleep at the parade!"

Be prepared to be challenged by Naked and Not Ashamed as you have never been challenged before! Here bishop T.D. Jakes calls for believers to strip away all layers of superficiality, religious reasonings, and pious pretendings. We need to be real - to be honest before God and man. Our example, Jesus Christ Himself, ministered and died in total openness before us. How can the hurting around us receive help and healing unless we too are Naked and Not Ashamed?

“This is what I am being tempted with…I cannot hide from You. I am naked before You. All my thoughts are played on the screen before You. I want to clean up this mess so You can replace it with a greater revelation and a stronger direction for my life. I praise You for loving me, in spite of all You know about me. Forgive me for condemning and judging anybody else. I know that if it were not for Your mercy, I would be guilty of the very things for which I have disdained others. Help me not to be hypocritical.” (source)

“Your greatest treasure is in the strength of the passion that is locked in the recesses of your heart. Out of the heart flow the issues of life.” (source)

“‘I do not have it all.’ Prayer is man admitting to himself that, in spite of his architectural designs and his scientific accomplishments, he needs a higher power.” (source)

“Wrap your godly attitude closely around your heart, for it is the wellspring or the resource from which comes the strength to keep on living and giving!” (source)

“‘Can I be transparent with you, and be assured that my nudity has not altered your commitment to be my friend?’” (source)
