Should Christian women wear make-up, weave or jewelry?

Since I was a little girl, I often heard in my church of worship that a woman should not wear pants, jewelry, weaves, polish, make-up and even certain colors and length of clothing. “This is a sin and should not be worn as women of God!” were the words I often heard. Even as a little girl, I always thought these requests were absurd. I thought to my self, “ doesn't God want us to look pretty?” Without freedom of choice, I found my self adhere to those rules and thought this was truly biblical concepts that made me holy.

Modest and Christian women that Loves God

I thought, as long as I look Christian, I am. I am sure this thought made you laugh, its hilarious to me now. Soon after my young adult ages of 13, 15 years old, I found my self sneaking paints, earrings, lipstick and other “forbidding” attire to school to wear. I am sure some of you recall those moments as well. My disobedience to my house/church rules turned to quote on quote “sinful” condemnation. This condemnation then eventually led to other “sins” which weren't  but because I have been thought that all things apart from what I was thought was a sin, I found myself going deeper and deeper till I completely lost my way into real sins and eventually became a lost sheep. As I look back, it all started with a doctrine that was enforced as sin. Soon I thought since I like this “sin” and find no wrong in it biblically  then I will do this until I find the truth. Only the truth I never seek and conviction of living a sin led me astray…..Until the day I was born again and I became a bible reader.

Cultural Attire, Ceremonial Attire, and Custom. Most are of excessive amount of Jewelry

One of the verses that are usually used to justify this “holiness attire” claim is First Timothy 2:9-10. It tells us, “I also want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.” Paul did not prohibit nor ban women from wearing jewelry, makeup, or braided hair. His emphasis was on women to not let their outward appearance become more important than their inner beauty.

I have seen so many long dressed, no make-up, “holy dressed modest” women do some things that women in the world would never do! First Samuel 16:7 states, “The LORD does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the LORD looks at the heart.” Peter reminds us of this spiritual fact: “Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight” (1 Peter 3:3-5).

By the scriptures of the Word of God, I have yet seen God say to DO NOT wear these things. These “do not’s” are amongst some other doctrines rules such as drinking alcohol, dancing to non-Christian music, and etc. Excessiveness, idolizing, disobedience of a direct request from God are the ACTS that leads to sin.

 

To conclude I will state, there is nothing wrong with wearing jewelry, makeup, or braided hair as long as it is done in a modest manner. A woman should not be so focused on her outward appearance that she neglects her inner spiritual life. The Bible focuses on the heart. As for proper clothing, real women of God will not wear things that will surely tempt men to fail short. They will allow the Holy Spirit to guide their judgment on what is proper to wear. I would only expect less from a new Christian that doesn't know better. But if you have matured in Christ, I am sure a mini-skirt, see-through tights, low riders with your crack out and etc would be worn to anywhere. If a woman is spending too much time and money on her appearance, the problem is that the woman’s priorities are wrong. Excessiveness jewelry and clothing are the results of the problem, not the problem itself. So ladies, keep looking good, for the glory of God!

Nene Leaks Grandmother! Why a secret for mom?

GRANDDAUGHTER! Posted on Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012 - 05:28PM by CQ

Reality diva Nene Leakes is showing off her new granddaughter Bri’asia Bryant in the new issue of In Touch Weekly, where she reveals that she was just as shocked as her fans to find out that she had a grandchild. A few months ago, she got a huge surprise when she ran into her son, Bryson’s girlfriend and noticed her baby bump.

Despite the shock, Nene has since accepted her granddaughter with open arms. Nene went on to say:

“I only found out about everything because I ran into Ashley when she was more than six months along.I said, ‘You look pregnant.’ Bryson’s girlfriend immediately responded, ‘Hasn’t Bryson told you?’

‘He hadn’t because he knew that I wouldn’t approve of him having a child so young. I didn’t feel like he was ready for such a big responsibility. I was his age when I had him, so I know how tough it is. I didn’t want him to make the same mistakes that I did. I needed to let it sink in.

“I always wanted to have a girl and now I have one! She’s just adorable.

I paid for everything in the nursery: the clothing, the diapers, I don’t want her to feel strapped. Little dresses, sparkly headbands, and Gucci shoes … We just love her!”

Egypt’s Islamist candidate woos women, Christians

FILE - COMBO - This combination of two photos shows Egyptian presidential candidates, from left, Ahmed Shafiq, and Mohammed Morsi. The chairman of Egypt's presidential election commission says the Muslim Brotherhood's candidate and Hosni Mubarak's last prime minister will context next month's runoff vote. Farouq Sultan said Monday the official final results show the Brotherhood's Mohammed Morsi and Ahmed Shafiq, a former air force commander, as the top two finishers in the first round of voting on May 23-24. He said Morsi won 5.76 million votes, while Shafiq garnered 5.5 million votes.(AP Photo/Khalil Hamra; Nasser Nasser, File)(Credit: AP)

CAIRO (AP) — The presidential candidate for Egypt’s Muslim Brotherhood wooed Christians, women and supporters of the ruling military Tuesday in a bid to expand his base of support and he also played up the stigma attached to his challenger, a senior figure in the old regime whose headquarters was burned down by angry protesters overnight.

The Islamist candidate Mohammed Morsi made the new campaign promises in a news conference, vowing to ensure the full rights of the Christian minority and women if he is elected. He also tried to reassure the pro-democracy youth groups who drove the last year’s popular uprising by promising to protect the right to stage peaceful protests and sit-ins.

Overnight, protesters stormed and burned the campaign headquarters of Morsi’s challenger Ahmed Shafiq, Mubarak’s last prime minister. In Tahrir square, birthplace of the anti-Mubarak uprising, protesters chanted slogans against both Morsi and Shafiq. Similar protests took place in the Mediterranean port city of Alexandria and elsewhere in northern Egypt.

Morsi claimed the top spot in the first round of Egypt’s landmark election last week, putting him in the June 16-17 runoff vote against Shafiq, also a former air force commander.

Both candidates are highly polarizing figures, and are scrambling to broaden their base by appealing to groups that didn’t support them in the first round.

Speaking to reporters in Cairo, Morsi said he planned to appoint Christians as presidential advisers and name one as vice president “if possible,” and said he would not impose an Islamic dress code in public for women.

“Our Christian brothers, they are partners in the nation. They will have full rights that are equal to those enjoyed by Muslims,” Morsi said. “They will be represented as advisers in the presidential institution, and maybe a vice president if possible.”

Women, he said, will have full rights in jobs and education. “Women have a right to freely choose the attire that suits them,” he said.

Morsi, 60, also praised the generals who took over from Mubarak, though he acknowledged that mistakes were made while they managed the transitional period.

“There is not a single Egyptian who doesn’t like the military. The military played a glorious rule in protecting the revolution,” Morsi said. “There were mistakes, yes, but also positive steps. Among those positive steps is the elections held under the protection of the police and military.”

Morsi said there would be no clashes or charges of treason against the military, suggesting that he has no intention of entertaining calls by some pro-democracy groups for the generals to be tried for alleged crimes during the past 15 months.

The groups blame the military for killing scores of protesters, torturing detainees and putting at least 12,000 civilians on trial before military tribunals.

Morsi also vowed to create a broad coalition government, and said the country’s new constitution would be written by a panel that is truly representative of the nation.

The Brotherhood and other Islamists who control more than 70 percent of parliament’s seats packed the original constitutional panel with their own supporters in a bid to influence the charter. However, a court ruling disbanded it on the grounds that it did not observe the rules of selection spelled out in a constitutional declaration adopted last year.

Morsi and Shafiq qualified for the runoff after they finished as the top vote-getters in the first round of voting on May 23-24. Morsi won close to 5.8 million votes, or almost 25 percent, while Shafiq garnered 5.5 million votes, or nearly 24 percent, according to final official results announced on Monday.

Morsi also pledged to lift the decades-old state of emergency, which gives police wide powers of arrest and detention.

YOU AND THE WORD OF GOD

Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.

Proverb 18:21

It has come to be known in the body of Christ that the word of God is the most powerful tool for the Christian body alike. Denominations and other religions have found themselves in the “Book of life” for their every need. We see that the bible have covered EVERY life questions imaginable, we simply have to READ. Over and over we find many instances that God and Jesus “spoke” things, life and miracles into existence. The very same power of words are given to us Christians, we simply need to open our mouths and “speak.”

One of the many teachings in the power of the Word is the description that Paul provided in explaining the Armor of God. He said in Eph 6:11 -18 to Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. The verse goes on to explain the armor in detail: Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the saints.

With so much emphasis on the word of God, we can and must believe that there is power in the word of God. Once we start to believe it and utilize it, the atmosphere will change according to the words that we speak. With a combination of proclaiming the blood of Jesus, the name of Jesus, faith, love and holiness; the WORD of God is included in the powerful tools of evil destructions.  So if we have faith in Jesus and all the works of God, we should have faith in the Word just the same. After all “In the beginning was the Word (Jesus), and the Word (Jesus) was with God, and the Word (Jesus) was God. - John 1:1

Below are some example issues, questions and concerns that we face in our lives.  But every answer to those concerns is available in the Bible and results can be found there as well. Put this into practice and watch your atmosphere change for the good.

Also say “I faith! Even If I had faith even as small as a mustard seed, I could say to this mulberry tree, 'May you be uprooted and thrown into the sea,' and it would obey ME! Luke 17:6

The list goes on and on….

You can make a list of verses for yourself, children, office, family and etc. You can place it in different areas in your house that pertains to those scriptures and use them daily. You can also print this post and use it as needed.  But your best bet is to spend time with the word of God. It doesn’t take all day to be renewed with a mind of Christ. Only 5, 10, 15 or 30 minutes with the word will make a dramatic difference in your life. As you mature in the word, you will be able to spend more time with the Word (Jesus).

“I Got My MATE So I No Longer Need To Persevere Syndrome”

“I Got My MATE So I No Longer Need To Persevere Syndrome”

I have been thinking of this weeks' post for sometime now. I did not want to choose or write about anything that the holy spirit didn’t lead me to write, so I waited for a word. As I was in meditation and prayer this morning, the holy spirit led me to think about how we as Christians begin to loose focus in God after receiving what we have been praying for months if not years. Our need for a mate, financial blessings, healing and etc.

This is not a spiritual attack that only women face in the body of Christ. Men as well has walked away or lost interest in the things of the Lord once they have met and married the “gift” a wife or a husband from God. This is not usually done intentionally. At times, it can go unnoticed for months.  Before you know it, we find ourselves missing church services, fellowship and all the activities that we use to hold dear when we were hungry and thirsty for a mate. Prior to that mate, we would climb mountains to go pray on a distant hill  or sleep in the church over night on our bellies decreeing and declaring. Yet, as soon as we say “I DO” that time with God diminishes. 

I personally have experience this syndrome in my life, but it's what we do when we notice the distance between us and God that matters the most. When we can hear the voice of God calling, seeking for our attention and us responding by acknowledging the call, we have overcome the stronghold. Let's not allow excuses and self reasoning keep us further away from Him. I have come to believe that its not the fall that keeps us down, but its the remaining down that shows our weakness.

God is love, indeed. The love you have for your mate or future mate is priceless. When we are blessed with a mate and/or other blessings in our lives, let's not forget the Lord our God (Deuteronomy 8). We can give our mates the attention, love and affection that he/she needs without loosing the drive and dedication that you had prior to being blessed with your gift(s) from God. I am sure that if your mate is first and foremost “in the spirit” they will understand your walk.  If they are truly believers they will also understand that you are a servant of God and that you must remain faithful to God for your future spiritual needs together.

With this new revelation, I have learned that when we are blessed with a mate, that mate should never become the main and ONLY center of our lives. No matter how deep and head-over heals in love you are with your new sent love, your dedication and commitment to God should supersede that love that you feel for one another. God IS the center and should always remain the center of your relationships. No matter how the wind blows, God is first and should always remain first even after your blessing comes.

Our lives must be as follows for the success of not only our relationship with our mates but our spiritual walk as well:

God

Wife/Husband

Children

Distant Family

Friends

Leisure

Praise God always and with everything you posses and with everyone that are in your lives...

Wolf in Sheep Clothing : How do you know if a wolf in sheep's clothing is circling around you?

Wolf in Sheep Clothing

 

Discernment

How do you know if a wolf in sheep's clothing is circling around you? What are the red flags that the guy you are talking to right now is a wolf? What are the signs? What do you do when you suspect you are dealing with a wolf? Most men, Christian and non Christian, are not wolves in sheep's clothing. I don't want every woman reading this article to be completely mistrustful of men, but it is very important to be aware of this. A wolf in sheep's clothing can do a lot of damage to you and the Body of Christ as a whole. Always pray for wisdom and discernment when you find yourself interested in a man. Ask God to reveal quickly hidden motives or agendas that are ungodly. Ask God to help you look into the heart of this man. Observe him. Look for consistencies in his words and actions. Listen closely to the topics and themes of his discussions. Look at him when he is not looking at you. Watch how he interacts with others. Observe his eyes, does he appear genuine and Godly? Does he look at women lustfully? Do you catch him looking at you that way? Does he talk too much about himself, money, or sex? Does he seem insecure and continuously mention his past revenues and accomplishments? Do you see Christ's humility in him? Is he a wounded man, eliciting sympathy from you about his recent divorce or emotional pain from not seeing his children? Is he moving too fast? These are only a few questions you should ask God and yourself. More importantly, when you are secure in your relationship with God, no matter how much you desire a boyfriend or potential mate, you are much less likely to be deceived by a wolf in sheep's clothing. Sometimes the wolf has a lot of money. That's appealing to a woman. Don't let the money deceive you. You can become extremely miserable, broken hearted, and abused, and totally removed from your first love (Christ) with a rich sheep in wolves' clothing. Finances are only one factor in a marriage. You don't want to be unequally yoked to a rich man who eventually abandons you. The wolf has no intention of staying with you. That's not his plan.

The same goes for good looks, smooth talking, sensitivity, and all the qualities you think make a good husband. They are empty and dangerous without Christ. The key factor in any Christian relationship should be the presence of Christ! Focus on learning very quickly where this guy stands with the Lord. Does he pray and have quiet time with the Lord? Does he read his Bible? Does he live what he reads. Does he reflect Christ? A strong Christian man cannot hide his love for God, it comes out all over the place. He is stable and loving. He is secure with himself and Christ no matter what his circumstances. Does
he tell you that he sees you as a strong spiritual woman and depend on you for prayer or teaching? This is bad because he should be getting his support from other Godly men. Watch him over a long period of time. How does he interact in church? He does not have to tell you he loves the Lord, you should see it. Get to know him. He will reveal his heart toward you about everything over time.

Both of you should guard your heart (Proverbs 4:23). Exit the relationship at any slightest hint of lies, trickery, addictions, or immorality. Challenge him if he begins to appear manipulative. Don't be afraid to let go of a relationship that would eventually devastate you. God will bring you the man of your dreams or He will give you the grace to remain single. Don't get attached to his children too soon. Get to know him first. Control the pace of your contact with him. Let God guide you and reveal things each step of the way. Be leary of doing favors before you really know this man. Do not lend him money. Do not let him kiss you or hold your
hand. Watch out for guys that infiltrate the church and remain on the periphery, scouting out the women. Beware of men that don't have or develop strong relationships with Godly men. These loner types are looking for weak, wounded, newborn "sheep" to prey on. Stay close to your circle of mature discerning Christian friends your age. Don't let the wolf in sheep's clothing separate you from the pack of your friends early on. Keep your eyes on the Lord and trust Him. That which is hidden will come to the light. (1 Cor 4:5).

Note: This discernment should not only be for women in regards to men. There are may women wolves out there posing as sheep to lure in their pray as well. So let us all be concerned and keeping our eyes open to make sure that we are accepting relationship from men and women or God that are truly interested in a relation with you that resemble Christ and our marriage to Him.

Divorces In The Body of Christ

Recently, I have been observing the many trials that the body of Christ is enduring. One particular that stands out for me is the rate of divorces that is amongst Christians. Lets look at some fact by Barna Research Group:

	11% of the adult population is currently divorced.
	25% of adults have had at least one divorce during their lifetime.
	Divorce rates among conservative Christians were significantly higher than for other faith groups, and much higher than Atheists and Agnostics experience.

Barna report: Variation in divorce rates among Christian faith groups:

Denomination (in order of decreasing divorce rate)	% who have been divorced
Non-denominational **	34%
Baptists	29%
Mainline Protestants	25%
Mormons	24%
Catholics	21%
Lutherans	21%

Now this number truly has got to change! Apart from the enemy moving like a roaring lion seeking whom he can devour; what are we Christians doing in our marriage that is allowing us to resemble the world's way of doing things?! or as the research group has shown us, the world has been doing better than us.

Let me hear your thoughts on this subject. What can we change in our walk, ways, life and etc that can change this devastating attack amongst us.  After all, a family that prays together, stays together...why aren't we?

Becoming A Woman Of Excellence

A woman of excellence Is what I long to be

Filled with your godly wisdom So it is part of me

A woman of integrity No matter what I face Standing up for righteousness And for your saving grace

A woman of destiny Living out your plan Knowing where you'd have me walk Being guided by your hand

A woman of promise Standing on your word Holding on to all the truths While carrying out your work

A woman of compassion For the ones in the dark Those that do not know your love And have darkness in their hearts

A woman that will never Compromise the faith With what the world may offer But will keep the narrow way

A woman who loves Jesus And will only follow Him Gladly to give up the world So His light can shine within

Lord this is my earnest prayer As a daughter by your grace Grow in me these qualities As I walk with you in faith

A Praying Man

As I walked softly in the room his head was bowed down low,

His hands lay idly in his lap, his breathing calm and slow.

I thought that he was sleeping till he opened up his eyes,

He made me want to kiss him when he said, to my surprise...

"Have I told you that I love you? I was telling God right now, Oh, I know He knows already but I told Him anyhow

 "We both think you're something special and I know that He'd agree Nothing bad should ever touch you, not if it were up to me!"

 Prickly goose bumps start to tingle, icy chills run up my spine, And sometimes I have to pinch myself: this prayin' man is mine! And just before we start our meals he always says a prayer, For God to bless the food we eat and keep us in His care. I love it when he reaches out and puts his hand in mine, And speaking low, he thanks the Lord when we go out to dine.

He asks the Lord's protection when we're traveling in the car, For angels to ride with us if we're going very far. I picture one above us, on the sides, the front, behind, Our housetop angel waves goodbye, (but only in my mind).

Girls, you can keep the latest hunk, I'm not a beef-cake fan, Stud muffins leave me unimpressed, give me a prayin' man!

He owns my heart forever 'cause there's nothing stronger than Words of power, words of blessing coming from a prayin' man

PROVERB 31

Sayings of King Lemuel

 The sayings of King Lemuel—an inspired utterance his mother taught him.

 Listen, my son! Listen, son of my womb!
   Listen, my son, the answer to my prayers!  

 Do not spend your strength on women,
   your vigor on those who ruin kings.

  It is not for kings, Lemuel

   it is not for kings to drink wine,
   not for rulers to crave beer,
 lest they drink and forget what has been decreed,
   and deprive all the oppressed of their rights.

Let beer be for those who are perishing,
   wine for those who are in anguish!

Let them drink and forget their poverty
   and remember their misery no more.

 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves,
   for the rights of all who are destitute.

Speak up and judge fairly;
   defend the rights of the poor and needy.

Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character

 A wife of noble character who can find?
   She is worth far more than rubies.
 Her husband has full confidence in her
   and lacks nothing of value.
 She brings him good, not harm,
   all the days of her life.

She selects wool and flax
   and works with eager hands.
 She is like the merchant ships,
   bringing her food from afar.

She gets up while it is still night;
   she provides food for her family
   and portions for her female servants.
 She considers a field and buys it;
   out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.
 She sets about her work vigorously;
   her arms are strong for her tasks. 

She sees that her trading is profitable,
   and her lamp does not go out at night.
 In her hand she holds the distaff
   and grasps the spindle with her fingers.
 She opens her arms to the poor
   and extends her hands to the needy.
 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
   for all of them are clothed in scarlet.
 She makes coverings for her bed;
   she is clothed in fine linen and purple.
 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
   where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

She makes linen garments and sells them,
   and supplies the merchants with sashes.

She is clothed with strength and dignity;
   she can laugh at the days to come.
 She speaks with wisdom,
   and faithful instruction is on her tongue.
 She watches over the affairs of her household
   and does not eat the bread of idleness.
 Her children arise and call her blessed;
   her husband also, and he praises her:
 “Many women do noble things,
   but you surpass them all.”
 Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting;
   but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised.  

Honor her for all that her hands have done,
   and let her works bring her praise at the city gate.
