People need to return to a holy way of living because the comming of the Lord Jesus is closer than we think. We need to return to holiness in every area of our lives. When I first got this conviction I didn't know where to start. Over a period of years of me seeking holiness I came across the truth to finding the holiness I was searching for, and thus started making appropriate changes to my life. These changes included a complete renewal of my wardrobe as well as a change in the way that I saw clothes. Peace with all men, a complete change in my attitudes towards life and people followed after sometime as well as the transformation of my outlook on life and health. Many things still needed to change but this was bassically my journey in seeking holiness.
Many women are going to hell
I was pretty sceptical when I first heard that, I didn't think there was anything that women did differently from men. After I did some research into the topic of near death experiences and encounters with Jesus I noticed many similarities in these encounters and their discription of Jesus. I concluded from these testimonies that Jesus was fairly tall and covered with an enourmouse amount of light, and I also concluded that his standards on holiness and virtue were very high and many churches failed to teach that. I'll go through some of these testimonies with you.
These are extracts from eternal destinations.com.
Linda Isatu Ngaujah is a woman from Sierra Leone. She died on February 15, 2013 and was taken to Heaven and Hell to witness some fearful and dreadful things. Prior to this experience, she didn't believe in any revelation of Heaven and Hell, but all false beliefs were shaken out of her when she was tormented by demons in HELL.
"And then Jesus said, ‘You are going back to the world. Tell My people, "Any bishop or wife, any man of God, any signs and wonders man of God, any pastor’s wife, who’s putting on these things [she points to her head, referring to hair attachments]; any prophetess – even if she prophesies to thousands of people – is putting on these things [she points to her head, referring to hair attachments], she will not see My face. Any woman, in and out of the Church, putting on trousers, putting on eyelashes, putting on [she points to her head, referring to hair attachments or any unnatural hairdo], earrings, gold teeth, tattoos, false fingernails, bleaching the skin, bleaching cream, you will not see God. Tinting of the hair, perming of the hair, stretching of the hair (you want it to look light and nice), you will not see God’s face."
That stated to me that God was against the putting on of weaves and wigs, female trousers, eyelashes, earings, gold teeth, tatoos, false fingernails, bleaching cream, tinting, perming and stretching the hair. That meant alot to me cause all these things have been marketed to me and other women since I could remember. I recall wearing fake hair and lipgloss since childhood, these things are even marketed to kids. Here are some more testimonies on the subject.
Adelaida de Carrillo from Bolivia says the Lord is against the women of God who wear make-up on their face. This is at 38:36 in the video. Jesus said, "I’m only pleased with the natural look on my saints. You don’t need make-up to look beautiful to anyone. Those things don’t please Me. If anyone loves the world, he is an enemy of God." She urged her listeners to tell others to stop using make-up. She said to ask the Lord, "What are the things I’m doing that don’t please you. The Lord is totally against women that use jewelry."
Margaret O Amure from Nigeria. When she had this experience, she was being judged for wearing makeup, immodest clothes, and jewelry. She warned women not to wear jewelry, lipstick, or any makeup, or immodest clothes like trousers. She said, "If you do, then you will be judged by the same Scriptures I was judged by." And she cited several like 1 Pet 3:1-6 (also see 1 Tim 2:9-10).
Olga from Russia. She was a backslidden woman who returned to church, and sang in the choir, but continued to wear makeup and pants and jewelry. She was taken to the edge of hell to see where she was going. satan had lots of jewelry, many earrings, necklaces, makeup, etc. Olga had all these things, too. She never imagined satan would have these. She saw satan giving out these adornments to Christians, who were still alive on earth
Before he came to know the Lord, Gabriel Doufle Kokou was a Catholic man, living a life of sin. He was sleeping with women, and they were paying him for it.
Gabriel saw many women suffering in hell. He saw a woman in hell for wearing earrings. A Woman In Hell for Relaxing / Perming Her Hair, A Woman In Hell for Fake Hair [Jewelries, Nails Polish, Mini Skirt, Trousers]. There are a lot of women in hell. They are more than the fish of the sea.
These are some testimonies of people who have had experiences in hell and have seen the suffering that is the result of the many vanites sold to women. These items are sold to us all over the media and probably every female who is a public figure wears these items of jewellery and makeup, and this deliberatley reinforces the idea that women must apply these products to function in society.
a complete renewal of my wardrobe
In my pursuit of a holy way of life I discovered that the fashion industry is also contributing to the amount of people going to hell. The idea of modern fashion is that sex sells, and that is what has been driving the fashion industry to produce more and more revealing clothes. I read somewhere that the mini skirt was invented in rebellion to traditional ways of dressing.
Mary Quant invented the mini skirt in 1970 and back then it was synonomous with rebellion and newly-won sexual freedom according to the Daily News website.
Now the mini skirt is seen as a mere fashion accesory and is seen on almost every runway accross the world. You might ask yourself how a clothing item born of rebellion could be seen as a fashionable item, but then the female trouser is also a fashionable item and it came to popularity in the 1960's with the women's libertion movement. I have worn these items since I was young cause I thought it was fashionable, having no idea about it's origins. As soon as I knew of the rebellion it was born of and read the testimonies of women in hell for wearing such items I threw away all of my makeup and Jewellery as well as my trousers and short skirts. I wanted to be holy and I wanted nothing to come in the way of my pursuit.
I knew now that God had a standard for holiness and that I had to live up to that standard if I was going to live according to his will. That meant that I was not only going to work on my prayer life and my relationships with other people, I was also going to have to work on my dressing. God has standards for dressing and it is required of every Christian to meet these standards in order to be holy. Without holiness no one will see God.
Hebrews 12:14King James Version (KJV)
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Now that I had thrown out all the clothes that I didn't want to wear I had to have a wardrobe change. I started buying long dresses, that went up to the ankles. I started wearing more jerseys, shirts with sleaves. I started to cover my hair according to these verses, adressed to both married and unmarried women…1 Corinthians 11:5"But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying disgraces her head, for she is one and the same as the woman whose head is shaved. 6For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head." Some have supposed that this was only meant for married women to obey because of this verse, 1 Corinthians 11:10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
Here is another verse concerning how women are to dress. 1 Timothy 2:9; "Likewise also that women should adorn themselves in respectable apparel, with modesty and self-control, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly attire." This verse clearly states the Lord's dissaproval of Jewellery, how could any other Christian woman miss that?
My dressing had to change and I was ready to make those changes.
Peace with all men
King James Bible
Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:
Hebrews 12:14
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Pursue peace with everyone, and holiness--without it no one will see the Lord.Hebrews 12:14
Psalm 34:14
Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it.
Romans 14:19
Let us therefore make every effort to do what leads to peace and to mutual edification.
Romans 12:18New American Standard Bible (NASB)
18 If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men.
The bible speaks very much about the topic of persuing peace with all men. It is one of the foundations of having perfect unity with God, and that is seeking peace with all everyone. I'm not going to be sereal and pretend like it is easy, it's not. It required alot of weightloss on my behalf to seem approachable to many. Yes, reality will always surface when we get honost with ourselves. People tend to put huge emphasis on apearences, so how we look and take care of ourselves will ultimately determine how others treat us or relate to us. For me atleast, that was one of the things I wanted to change. Then there is that part were we always need to make conversation with people in order to share the message of Christ with them. This is much easier to do online where people don't form prejudices on simple things like looks or fashion sense.
In order to be at peace with people there are some biblical rules set out for us to follow.
Matthew 7:12
So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Luke 6:31
New American Standard Bible
"Treat others the same way you want them to treat you.
King James Bible
And as ye would that men should do to you, do ye also to them likewise.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
Just as you want others to do for you, do the same for them.
Matthew 22:39
King James Bible
And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
The second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself.
International Standard Version
The second is exactly like it: 'You must love your neighbor as yourself.'
Leviticus 19:18
"'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.
Romans 13:8
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love one another, for whoever loves others has fulfilled the law.
Galatians 5:14
For the entire law is fulfilled in keeping this one command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
We need to understand that doing what these verses say won't always give us peace with people cause there are difficult people in this world. We need to seek peace with everyone no matter what we think about them or how we feel towards them. This is holiness, to do the will of God no matter what oposition we may face. To be a people set apart is to be a people obedient to the word of God in a disobedient and rebelious world.
Matthew 5:22
New American Standard Bible
"But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother shall be guilty before the court; and whoever says to his brother, 'You good-for-nothing,' shall be guilty before the supreme court; and whoever says, 'You fool,' shall be guilty enough to go into the fiery hell.
King James Bible
But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire.
A transformation of my outlook on life and health
By now my digestion had become faster and I had a much better control of my body temperature because I had stopped wearing clothes that were too tight and too revealing. I decided to wear long dresses and not dresses that show my legs, aswell as shirts with sleaves to protect my arms. When I started covering my hair it started breaking less aswell. Now I knew why God had rules for how we must dress since after the fall of man. That explains why He made clothes for Adam and Eve to wear when they discovered that they were naked, he knew that they didn't know how to dress themselves properly yet. Fig leaves are not going to be very protective or complementary. For centuries we have seen people dress themselves in all types of clothing for the sake of fashion aswell as for the sake of looking seductive.
I read an article about how women can avoid getting laterall malleolus or veins disease. This fashion advice was also for good blood circulation. What we wear does have an effect on how blood circulates within our bodies. In the article it said that wearing tight clothes such as jeans aswell as wearing high heeled shoes disturbs blood circulation and the functioning of the veins. God knew that how we dressed effected our entire bodies, that is probably why He went through all the trouble of making clothing out of animal skin for Adam and Eve. He knew how much protection our skin needed. Most animals have a layer of fur ontop of their skins, the first propper clothes ever made were made out of animal skins because of this. Clothes aren't just supposed to cover our sexual organs, they are supposed to protect our bodies. When Adam and Eve fell from grace, they lost alot of protection from God. That is why we can't walk around half naked anymore, it makes no sense. This is exactly why modern fashion goes against common sense, we need to cover as much skin as possible. Not reveal as much skin as possible.
As I sought after holiness I realized that it is really for our sakes that God wants us to live according to His rules. As soon as I stopped eating pork and fat, my body did start changing in many ways. There are verses in the bible that tell us what not to eat.
Leviticus 3:17
King James Bible
It shall be a perpetual statute for your generations throughout all your dwellings, that ye eat neither fat nor blood.
Holman Christian Standard Bible
This is a permanent statute throughout your generations, wherever you live: you must not eat any fat or any blood."
Leviticus 7:23
"Say to the Israelites: 'Do not eat any of the fat of cattle, sheep or goats.
Leviticus 7:26
And wherever you live, you must not eat the blood of any bird or animal.
Deuteronomy 14:7
However, of those that chew the cud or that have a divided hoof you may not eat the camel, the rabbit or the hyrax. Although they chew the cud, they do not have a divided hoof; they are ceremonially unclean for you.
Deuteronomy 14:8
New American Standard Bible
"The pig, because it divides the hoof but does not chew the cud, it is unclean for you. You shall not eat any of their flesh nor touch their carcasses.
King James Bible
And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you: ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcase.
This also meant that I completely stopped eating any oysters/shellfish or mussels. I also stay away from crabb now that I know this.
Deuteronomy 14:9
Of all the creatures living in the water, you may eat any that has fins and scales.
This verse bassically means that those creatures in the sea that do not have fins or scales are probably not good to eat. Let's explore why God said that we shouldn't eat creatures like pigs, shellfish and crabb. Shellfish and crabb for instance are not big enough to be sea predators. They eat whatever falls to the bottom of the sea or whatever tiny organism they can find. These animals that the bible forbids us from eating are scavangers, they eat whatever they can find. A rabbit cannot fight for the same quality of food as an Oryx can, why rabbits are also forbidden to be eaten according to the bible. Scavangers bassically clean the earth of organic garbage, they feed on dead or injured animals. God made it so easy for us to know what we may eat and what we may not, he designed these animals very specifically and told us exactly how to spot them. Animals that do not have a devided hoof or do not chew the cud are unclean for us to eat according to the bible.
After I transformed my diet I had to change my life aswell. I realized that fasting was meant to be a very important part of our Christian lives if we were planning on growing in our faith. It was an act of obedience and complete surrender of will. If it meant that I would get closer to the holiness God required of me I wanted to persue it. Fasting was a very important part of getting closer to God and his will as this bible verse states,
Mark 9:29
King James Bible
And he said unto them, This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting.
I also realized they took fasting out of many other versions of this verse,
English Standard Version
And he said to them, "This kind cannot be driven out by anything but prayer."
Berean Study Bible
Jesus answered, "This kind cannot come out, except by prayer."
Berean Literal Bible
And He said to them, "This kind is able to go out by nothing except by prayer."
New American Standard Bible
And He said to them, "This kind cannot come out by anything but prayer."
That only meant to me that there is some devine power related to fasting, that is probably why they took it out of all these other translations of the bible except the King James version. Modern churches have produced many false converts and the way the bibles were tempered with could explain why.
That was bassically the begining of a long journey I took inorder to return to holiness. We have to seek to find the truth with all our hearts, otherwise many of us will be lost. God hears our prayers for mercy. He used a very dark period of my life to show me this truth, and hopefully show the world through this book. A dark vale has been thrown over the eyes of many by false preachers inorder to produce false Christians. The word of God is clear, without holiness no one will see God. Why is holiness the one thing that has been mistranslated over and over again by so many churches. The bible makes it very clear for us, even though we are under grace and not under the law we know that the law was given by grace. People get diseases that they could have avoided if they weren't eating scavangers. Pork for instance, is loaded with toxins because pigs eat whatever they can find.
People get problems with blood circulation and have poor health because they don't dress the way they were meant to dress. You see, in biblical times people wore robes and coats to cover their entire bodies. Modern dressing is bassically exposing the body to as many harsh elements as possible and causing diseases in people. God has laws for us to obey, for our sakes largely. The law was given by grace, and it is hard for us to live holy lives when we ignore this law. Think about that.
James 4:17
New International Version
If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn't do it, it is sin for them.
Luke 12:47
"The servant who knows the master's will and does not get ready or does not do what the master wants will be beaten with many blows.
John 9:41
Jesus said, "If you were blind, you would not be guilty of sin; but now that you claim you can see, your guilt remains.
2 Peter 2:21
It would have been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than to have known it and then to turn their backs on the sacred command that was passed on to them.
