CLOTHED!
Luke 8:27 and when he went forth to the land there met him out of the city a certain man, which had devils long time, and WARE NO CLOTHES, and neither abode in any house, but in the tombs..
Proverbs 7:10 and behold there met him a women with the attire of an harlot. Here we see harlots have an attire, and nakedness is a sign of demon possession. Man I know that first verse is talking about a man, but if he wanted that man naked how much more than you precious women. Naked, homeless near death in the tombs. So this is what i wanted to talk about. Being Clothed. Casue I think it's a super important topic that's awkward for OUR pastor to have to say. And becasue Christian women. Good Christian women are getting super crazie in the way they dress. Just gonna say girl seen your thong threw your see through dress and so did all the children and young ladies In the Church. I know what to tell my children when we see LOST people dress like that but what do I tell him about the good Christian women dressing like that. If we Christians are reading the same Bible then we all know God's will for our attire is to be clothed. Gen 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sowed fig leaves together and made them aprons. Gen 3:21 and unto Adam and also his wife did the LORD GOD make coats of skins and colthed them. APRON- a cloth or figs leaves🤣 worn on the fore part of the body. COAT- External covering a cover a layer of any substance that covers another. So my theory on this is GOD in all his wisdom and holyness seen they weren't covered enough and decided to make himself coats for them to show them how to cover there self correctly. He covered there nakedness more than the aprons did. So let's look at some verses that describe Nakedness. Isaiah 47:10 Thy NAKEDNESS shall be uncovered, yea, thy SHAME shall be seen. Exodus 32:25 For when Moses has saw that the people were NAKED( for Aaron had made them naked unto there SHAME.) Rev 16:15 Behold, I come as a theif. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, leat he walk NAKED, and they see his SHAME. So we see here in these 3 verses nakedness identifys with SHAME, and it identifys with a demon possession. So now what's to much skin what's appropriate and what's not. Someone said to me one time if you have to ask if it is appropriate you have already thought to yourself it not to be. And to me are really just looking for someone to agree with you dressing how you already feel you shouldn't. (ME I WAS HER) I'm only talking to CHRISTIAN WOMEN. So I had someone ask me if I thought we should all dress alike. Well here is my thought on that. Who are we Christian Women following. Who are we molding ourselves after. When Lost people or even sometimes saved people follow Rappers and Models and movie stars they model themselves after them. That's why we have a naked generation and a generation that couldn't keep there pants up. Because Satan is in Hollywood, and everyone is molding themselves into exactly what he wants. NAKED and a SHAME. I can see who your are conforming yourself to becasue I was her. And someone who comes from darkness is trying to tell you that's where your attire and what you are adorned with will take you. Rappers, gangsters, thugs, have a certain attire. St*****rs, Harlots, lady's of the night have similar attire. 'VERY LITTLE' Proverbs 7:10 There met him a women with the attire of an Harlot. Different people have different attire. So YES since we are Christian Women I believe we should dress similar. Not the same, I dont want to dress just like you. I have my own style. I'm just dropping the wordly way of a women dressing. The wordly way that has you so caught up in showing off that figure, or making that butt look big. O come on now, not saying all but most women I have met when we put on them jeans or that dress that fits just right we turn in our full body mirrors and we say to ourselves that butt looks good. 🤣 I'm not against wanting your butt to look good girl. But why you want us all to know your butt looks good. Your husband already knows Women and he's the only one that should. Even with skirts and dresses there is a thing as to tight. And too short. And this is just someone who lived as wordly as possible and knows the different attires that the word will have you thinking you need to clothe your self with. The Christian women to me that dresses like this is making thereself look exactly like the Lost world we are trying to lead to Jesus and Plus why would I want to identify with a man that was possed with 2000 demons in him. He was possed and the devil wanted him NAKED. Why would you as a Christian women want to dress like a demon possed person, or like a lost women that was never taught properly how to carry herself. Good Christian women have got so caught up in there figures and thereselves and there clothes and jewelry and it just appears evil to me. So selfish so self center. Making our bodies our idols. Decorating and painting our faces like Jezebel. 2 kings 9:30 and when jehu was come to jezreel, jezebel Painted her face. A wicked queen who got turn to dung we won't to follow. I'm not against makeup. But i want to be against what Gods Against. And yall know yall paint that stuff on. How many makeup paint brushes yall got. I'm not against makeup but some of you are not wearing makeup you are painting your faces changing your nose shape. Litterally changing your whole appearance to look like who? Who are we as Christian women shooting to look like. Adding 2 inches of lip. Bringing your forehead down lower. Man just highlight your natural beauty fill them gaps in them eyebrows and let's take our focus off ourselves alittle. Then maybe we will see revival. back 2 clothed. 1 Tim 2:9 IN LIKE MANNER ALSO, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness( bashfullness excess of modesty). Proverbs 31:25 Strength and Honour are her clothing. There are many more. How can we be shamedfaced and bashful with our war paint on. So now we seen some example of how the devil would like us clothed and how God would like us Clothed. So picture in your mind right now how do you think God clothed eve in the garden. And conform your self to that image. And remmber he is a holy God not tainted by sin like us. Picture what a HOLY GOD, who has called you out of darkness into a HOLY LIGHT so you could live a HOLY LIFE would clothe you in. And ain't one thing wrong or needs to be changed or added to Holiness God don't want Christians to change holiness he wants Holiness to change Christians. Just like he did the manic when all men did marvel when they seen the NAKED man CLOTHED. The demon possessed man. Mark 5:15 and they came to JESUS and seen him that was possessed with the devils, and had the legion and he was sitting and CLOTHED and in his RIGHT MIND. So here we see nakedness as a sign of a demon possessed man. We see harlots have an attire. We see that Christian women should adorn thereself in a like(similar) manner of modest apparel. And Virtuous women are clothed with strength and honor and we see someone who is in there right mind is CLOTHED. And now I also see you women who I always thought where self righteous, who cover thereselves and are OK with out showing there meaningless figures and could live life just fine if all they had to wear was a Birkia and be happy and content and satisfied and joyful with just being Clothed with Holyness not becasue of self righteousness but from a deep desire to want what the Lord always wanted. Holyness.
I desire to be this women, that no man knows what I have got going on under my clothes and the rest of the world can never know. I definitely Won't be feeding perversion or casuing decent men to have to take thoughts captive becasue I choose to dress in a way that is provocative. Are actions are character our walk with the Lord effects everyone around us. Revival will happen when Christians return to Holyness and quit living a double minded life. Can't follow the world and God you will end up hating God and yourself. It only leads to destruction. So ya in conclusion I think Christian women should dress simlar, and there should be a definite distinction between the Lost women and the saved women. Ya God sees your heart, but that lost girl that is desperately needing to see your Christian heart don't. They see how your clothed. Coming from someone who lived like the manic who was the manic, and has now been changed sitting and clothed and in my right mind, what are you Clothed with CHRISTIAN WOMEN are you clothed with NAKEDNESS and SHAMFULNESS looking like the demon possed man identifying with the harlot. Or are you clothed with Holyness and honor and strength. Looking like you have been touched by a holy God sitting and clothed and in your right mind. And if your sitting here and your thinking this is stupid just know this comes from the word that you say you Love with all your heart and you believe with all your mind. And to me every word is beautiful and it all makes since and 2 me HOLYNESS IS THE ONLY THING THAT MAKES SINCE.
