Sometimes there are things that I like to express really quickly but Twitter doesn't give us enough space to express our self. We have to resort to other means to make a point.
I am so blessed! About 98% of all of my clothes come from my dear Sis Holley. When the Lord was convicting me on shorts and pants, I told Him that there was no way that I could afford to buy a new wardrobe. He told me to get rid of the pants and shorts and He would provide me with clothes. The blessings have rolled in since then. That was about 6 1/2 years ago. When Sis Holley first gave me clothes, she said "I don't know why but something is telling me to give you these clothes". I just smiled and said "I know why".
I don't think that we should splurge on fancy clothes. The Lord even warns us against COSTLY ARRAY. I am not saying not to buy nice clothes. He wants His Bride to look nice, I am sure. However, some of us just go overboard with spending. This money can be sown into the Kingdom. What about buying a new convert a couple inexpensive skirts. Ross has great deals on clothes.
Why is it always Nike, Reebok and all of the other name brands that have a hold on us. These are ways that the enemy keeps us from things of God. Is it necessary to buy expensive things. Danskin is just as nice as Nike brand. I have a few pieces of workout clothes by Danskin and I love them. Spent about $10.
If I were rich, I would feel the same way. I pray that one day I am so that I can help others. The enemy doesn't want me to have money because he knows that I will sow into the Kingdom.
Also did you know that the Lord speaks of being in debt. he says "Owe no man".- Romans 13:8. I believe that if we are in debt that it is wrong in the sight of God. I think that America mistakes being in debt with new homes and cars as being blessed of God. I have to say "no".
Being blessed is like in my testimony above, having nice clothes given to me. I can look nice, Sis Holley is sowing into the Kingdom and she always reaps in nice and inexpensive clothes. She has been since I could remember.
The next time a sinner comes in your church dressed in their Sunday best, think of them when you make your next trip to Dillards or Marshalls.
I LOVE YOU!
