DRESSED, R U ? PT.1

For the next few weeks, we will be looking at a topic that is rarely talked about, or looked at, by Church Leaders, world Leaders, mothers and fathers, and by those in the world in which we live. But it is one that’s almost completely out of control. So before we begin our study today, on the topic “DRESSED, R U?” let us pause, for a few minutes and ask for the “SPIRIT of GOD” to fall on us so we will be able to understand what the “SPIRIT of the LORD” has to say to us today. AMEN! The first question that needs to asked and answered is; does GOD care about the way HIS children dress? Yes HE does! The Bible tells us that after GOD created Adam and Eve: “they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.” GENESIS 2:25. It was not until Adam and Eve sinned that their “shame set in”. God had told Adam and Eve not to eat of: “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil…for in the day that they eat they shall surely die.” But did Adam and Eve listen? NO! The Bible tells us that it wasn’t long, before Satan showed up; and said to Eve: “Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?” Eve said: “We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden, But of the fruit of the tree which [is] in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die” Satan said to Eve: “Ye shall not surely die, For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.” When Eve: “saw that the tree [was] good for food, and that it [was] pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make [one] wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat. And the eyes of “Adam and Eve” were opened, and “Adam and Eve” knew that they [were] naked; and “Adam and Eve” sewed fig leaves together and made themselves aprons.” The Bible says that when GOD came looking for Adam and Eve: “they hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden.” Why did they do this? Adam said: “I was afraid, because I [was] naked; and I hid myself.” GOD asked Adam: Who told thee that thou [wast] naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat? Adam said: The woman whom thou gavest [to be] with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat. God said unto Eve: “What [is] this [that] thou hast done?” Eve said: “Satan” beguiled me, and I did eat”. And because of this GOD cursed the serpent and said: “upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life”: Then God: “put enmity between Satan and the woman, and between Satan seed and Woman seed.” GOD said to Eve: “I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire [shall be] to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.” GOD said to Adam: “Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed [is] the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat [of] it all the days of thy life”. But the bible tells us that our GOD did-not stop there, because, HE was not pleased with the “DRESS CODE” of Adam and Eve and GOD made them: “coats of skins, and clothed them”. GENESIS 3:1-21. IS GOD PLEASED WITH OUR “DRESS CODE” TODAY? And if GOD should ask you and I the question: “DRESSED, R U?” What will the answer be; Yes or No? If you said “Yes” you are: “Walking in the Spirit,” But if you said “No” you are: “fulfilling the lust of the flesh”. GALATIANS 5:16. Dose this subject merit some observations? If yes! Come along with me, as I ask the “SPIRIT of the LORD” to work through me, to turn this topic on “DRESS” up-side-down and all-around, so if we are “guilty” we’ll never be “guilty” of this question Again; “DRESSED, R U???”
