Nearly all women wore dresses to church until fairly recently. When I first started going to church, every woman in the congregation wore a dress or skirt. I was in a Pentecostal Church and you would have men and women falling on the floor under the power of the Holy Spirit. We would have someone there to lay a sheet over the woman's legs till she got up. That is not a valid reason in my opinion. It has nothing to do with wealth either. If there had been a woman at church who couldn't afford a dress, I would have bought her one. The reason why some of us don't go along with it is we see it as a violation of Deuteronomy 22:5, as well as 1 Corinthians 6:9. It would be no different than having a man come to the house of God in a dress. I have been to many outdoor meetings where all the women wore a dress. This is really not relevant to the topic anyway, unless you are just saying if you started a church, you wouldn't have a dress code? That is your prerogative. I wouldn't set up a dress code for the people in the pews, but as I said earlier, I would for the leaders, as they are to be examples. It is true I was not raised in church...So when I was born again-filled with The Holy Ghost-the world taken out of me and me out of the world-and on fire for God...The kind of clothes I wore did not matter to me...I have always always been modest...to a fault...even before I knew God... Now without any doubt I can see how The Word of God can be interpreted differently to different people...There are verses that explain it so well...Romans 14 talks about how if someone is weak in the faith, (Not knowing All The Bible, etc. etc.) we aren't to dispute over doubtful things...Romans 14 talks about if someone "eats" a specific thing and someone else doesn't then don't judge...God has received him. We don't live for ourselves...Don't let your good be spoken of as evil...If our brother is grieved because of the food we eat-then we are no longer walking in Love...For the Kingdom of God is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit...In my opinion, we are to celebrate when someone points everything and everybody to Jesus and Loves Him to a Fault!!! Oh Indwell us For Your Glory, O God...

Amen...He is The Only One Who Saved me That Day...Because I have experienced coming within milliseconds of leaving this earth without HIm...Don't give up right before your miracle!!! The day I screamed at God that He better let me know He was Real because I didn't have much time...Well...All I could see was my mom finding me and I couldn't do that to her... Two months after that I had a born again experience...From the top of my head to the bottom of my toes...Pure Liquid Love Poured All Over and In me-I could feel it!!! I haven't been the same since that day!!! Love to you In Him...

Danielle, You are so loved and I'm praying. I lost my dad, too...and I miss him terribly!!! For me, it's getting easier...I know he is ok now for sure...and I'm staying focused on what God wants me to do on this earth with the time I have left... Every day I want to go to my real "Home" but not yet... Love to you In Him

God's Love Is Amazing!!! It Is Life To us!!!

God is in the business of Healing...and He can and will...if we let Him...there were times also that I would do anything to get my mind off some of the horrible things that it wanted to think about... Love to you In Him... Nothing Is Impossible With God...Nothing...

Thank you so much . He loves you so much!!! Big hugs...

I crucify my flesh daily. God does require us to do our part and make an effort. Admitting, God is in control. How much do I want? How much of me am I willing to give and allow HIM to clean up? I have to make an honest, sincere effort. Ask, Seek, Knock; and be consistent about it. It is my responsiblity; I must crucify my flesh daily; everyday, every hour, every minute, every second. Amen!!! Love to you In Him...

I was having so much trouble forgiving others...I didn't know how...until I heard A Preacher say it this way: I think I've typed this before... I'll type it a million times...Hahaha...I even get more out of it every time too!!! Wow This is what I do in my own brain and mind when I don't forgive: What I'm actually doing is saying in my mind: They owe me!!! But the problem is: The amount in my mind that they owe is: $1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, ok-get the point? There is no way anyone could repay that much!!! But nonetheless...If they have hurt me: They should pay!!! and it should be about a milion trillion billion dollars... Now considering the Scripture "man" gave...which is The Word of God and is True...I need to forgive in order to be forgiven...So true is that verse!!! But how do I do that? Just Like Jesus did... Jesus Paid The Price...For you...For me...and For that person that I can't forgive yet... I have to Forgive Like Jesus did...Knowing They Know Not What They Do... In reality, they owe me nothing!!! I forgive them out of The Love That Jesus Has Put In me For Them... It is true...They probably haven't given the thing another thought... They (whoever it is) are going about their business... but it is killing me...If I don't forgive... Love to you In Him...

The answer is in your question..."How do I crucify the flesh?" How do "I"? "I" can't do anything about it... That's God's Job... We Have To Go To Him For Him To Do It... When Seeking God for the First Time-I really didn't know that He was my answer...(being in a blinded state) but I had to surrender to Him and Trust...Realizing I could do nothing about any of it...I can't relieve myself of my sins...I can't stop...I can't do anything about it...I want to sin-period...That is the facts of me-Without God...When I am without Him that's what I want to do and it's normal to be that way because we don't have any help, by ourselves, to stop sinning...but sinning leads to death...spiritual and physical...that was my problem...I was going to die without Him...I had no HOPE!!! And that was the very best place I could've ever been...and the very best place for me to have stayed was on my knees-reading His Word-Listening to His Children Play Music...Hahaha-Christian Radio...Christian Worship Songs...Because He Is There In That Place!!! The Place of Repentence (Changing my mind-that I didn't want to do that anymore!!!) and The Only Thing That Could Stop The Desire for Sin Was My Savior on A Cross...Beaten and Bloody...Making a Way for me to Know My God!!!-John 17:3 Washing me clean... But most of all being born again! Brand Spanking New!!! Oh Yes...In Him... Now the Bible talks of not bringing Jesus back to The Cross and Crucifying Him again!!! I would get in The Word and Let God Do A Work In you!!! That's what happened to me!!! A Good Place to Start is Hebrews 6 and 1John 1... and then go to the "Love Chapter" The Book of John I am also praying 1 Peter 5:10 for you... May The God of All Grace, Who Called us To His Eternal Glory by Christ Jesus, After you Have Suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you...To Him Be The Glory and The Dominion forever and ever. Amen. Love to you In Him...

Not alone at all!!! Our Bible is Alive Because Our Jesus Lives!!! Just like everyone has said: The Holy Spirit is in The Business of Leading and Guiding us into All Truth...and I truly love to experience the same eureka moments that "man" has-they are real!!! Love to you In Him

For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart. I will be found by you, says the Lord, and I will bring you back from your captivity; Jeremiah 29:11 through the first part of verse14...New King James Version When nothing at all made sense to me...This is the verse I hung onto for dear life...I was beginning to Trust God that He knew what was going to happen to me and He loved me and that His Plans Would Come About If I Drew Near To Him and Came Out of The World...so I was safe with Him...I prayed-morning, noon and night for Him to Lead me, Guide me and Keep me...I Asked Him Every Morning To Be With me and To Help me and then Every Night I Thanked Him That He Helped me and Was With me... I asked Him and thanked Him-even before I saw the results (by faith I Thanked Him-He is Always Faithful!!! and I Still Do These Things...All The Time...There has not one need gone un-met...He meets all my needs...Sometimes He even gives me creative ways to do things! My my... Another verse in Jeremiah (By the way, in reading my Study Bible that gives some history into Jeremiah...The question is asked: Have you ever wondered what God wanted or if you've missed His Purpose for you then we are in good company! Jeremiah strugggled with this even after he had made his choice...He was a priest and a prophet...He saw his nation disintegrating morally from within and being destroyed militarily from without. He saw many of his people taken captive to foreign lands. His pleas for Judah to turn back to God fell on deaf ears. I get so much hope from The Book of Jeremiah...I can relate to him alot!!! This verse is extra-ordinary! Jeremiah 33:3 Call to me, and I will answer you, and show you great and mighty things, which you do not know. If we don't give up...we too can walk in The Promises of God!!! In God's Time!!! I have no doubt that as long as we allow God access to our lives...He will Lead us...and Guide us...and I have full confidence that you are In The Palm of His Hand...and He Loves you...we learn to cast all our care on Him for He cares for us... Love to you In Him

I so agree that it is very nice to wear nice clothes; if one can afford them. But if they can't...then they shouldn't have to. God gives us The Power to get Wealth...and by the time some of us get some...Hahaha...well we have been shown what is important...Hahaha...It used to be that what I had was blue jeans and that's what I wore...In the church services and prayer meetings I've been to in the past-I have to wear pants because I don't sit in a pew and no telling what might happen...might fall on my face in worship right in the aisle... I read something written by someone many many years ago who was what I call "A General of the Faith" Simply people that God brings their testimony to me...through books etc...I could relate to her so so much...It was of the utmost importance that The Holy Spirit be given a place in The Service...To Be Allowed...He is so Free"ing"!!! Whew... Well my "church" is mainly outside amongst the people...Hahaha...and I bring The Holy Spirit with me...O God, You Are So Good...

My my...Keep Hollering...In The Name of Jesus!

I assuredly believe there are Angels Among us...Oh yes

Now I know for sure again and again why He has captured my heart so thoroughly... As I was watching this...magnificient video...I could see Jesus being beaten before The Cross...being beaten as they were...Some have walked in "those same shoes" as Our Lord...

Beautiful!!!

I agree It Will Be Awesome Even If I Don't Know All of God's Word Yet-Because I sure don't!!! Matthew 22:29-30 (New King James Version) Jesus answered and said to them, "You are mistaken, not knowng the Scriptures nor the power of God. (He was talking to the Sadducees who say there is no resurrection) For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven.

Hahaha...Ms. LadyKay...sometimes I wish I was somebody else too...just sometimes...Hahaha Love In Him, Kathy

This is an amazing verse to ponder: Galatians 3:22-29 But the Scripture has confined all under sin, that the promise by faith in Jesus Christ might be given to those who believe. But before faith came, we were kept under guard by the law, kept for the faith which would afterward be revealed. There the law was our tutor to bring us to Christ, that we might be justified by faith. But after faith has come, we are no longer under a tutor. For you are all sons of God through faith in Christ Jesus. For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ. There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither slave nor free, there is neither male nor female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus.

Granted...We are all in different places in this journey...Some of us The Honeymoon is Over...Oh yes-I had a honeymoon phase with My Lord...didn't have a care in the world-like I was walking on clouds for over a year-was in the part where Love Was Blind for a while...and then it was like: I remember the day-OK said My Lord...Honeymoon is over...It's time for the rubber to hit the road. And there is a place of maturity...somewhere...Hahaha...Getting there...I Hope Anyway... There are so many different places on this path...Some of us are still blind and haven't seen Any Light At All...and have layer upon layer to get down to so that the Truth is really known...Some of us won't take off our masks...Some of us won't confront anything...and some of us are being taught and it ain't pretty all the time...Some of us have tendencies of the Old Generals of The Faith...and like I said: That ain't real pretty all the time either...But Full of Love That Isn't Blind...I guess that's my new saying...Hahaha...and sometimes we go for it...and people don't like it... The stories of old are amazing...and there is nothing new under the sun...we can learn alot from them...From The Bible as well as The Old Generals of The Faith...Much suffering as well as much victory over the enemy... Love you In Him...Kathy

Everything I've typed has come from a new heart and it's like I'm with Him already all the time; so I'm not ashamed of anything I've typed or said...Thank You Lord...The two have become one... Love In Him, Kathy

I keep trying to put the link and it won't work...Thanks so much for helping me...This is such a good video...

Missed you!

Oh God...You Aren't Done With us Yet!!! Not Who we Used To Be!!! Whew!!! We Are Redeemed!!! Lately Everything is Magnified To me!!! Wow

It sure is...Thank you! I didn't know how-and then I talked to Angels-I'm going to try it again pretty soon and see if I've learned how to do it...Hahaha...Thanks Pat so much!
