As I was reading my comment to my husband ...Anne, <br /><br />As I was reading my comment to my husband for his suggestions and approval, my daughter (14) added this point that we spoke of many years ago and I have forgotten about. <br />Matthew 6 tell us to pray in secret and our Father will reward us. If we ONLY cover our head when we need to pray, then everyone knows what you are doing. Sometimes I am quiet while doing dishes, fixing dinner, or whenever. Noone know that I am praying to Abba. I pray for my family while doing their laundry, or while making up their beds, ect. I know my Father hears my prayers and blesses me for them being said to Him secretly. <br /><br />Anne, May YHWH's Words dwell deep down in you heart and my you be blessed by Abba for your desire to seek His Truths. <br /><br />Love, <br />Amanda (along with Jeff, HananiYah, and JedidiYah)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686847668477553958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844906428636243556.post-50905561221707759272009-11-23T18:05:16.980-06:002009-11-23T18:05:16.980-06:00Hi Anne.

It is nice to be encouraged now and again when there are so many people in this world again YHWH's children. <br /><br />As for your question. Yes, we are covered all the time. We are even covered at night because YHWH's drawing for me to pray for people in the middle of the night. <br /><br />As for men, here is the only scripture we have to go by... <br /><br />1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. <br /><br />1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head. <br /><br />Now, my husband hardly ever wears a cap anymore due to this scripture. However, he does now and again during cold weather. For him, it is much easier to pull it off during prayer than it is for me to search the house every time I need to pray. He is always conscience of his head being cover or not, just in case. I hope you see the point I am trying to make. <br /><br />As for not praying during cold weather because of head being covered, the man can simply take off the cap. Scripture is mighty clear on the subject. If he chooses to ignore the covering on his head, then he chooses to ignore his Head, Yahushua. Sometimes it is accidental, and that is why we have Grace. However, we shouldn't ride Grace to Heaven. It is a gift to us and shouldn't be taken advantage of. We need Grace and should use it only when we must. It isn't a permit to break the law just because our price is paid. <br /><br />Sorry, to go on and on. It's hard to stop talking about His Word when I get started. <br /><br />Anne, <br />May YHWH bless thee and keep thee.<br /><br />Love, <br />AmandaAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686847668477553958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844906428636243556.post-32608958765196441482009-11-22T09:52:21.436-06:002009-11-22T09:52:21.436-06:00I have a sincere question for you.

Why, then, do men wear hats so often? What about in snowy weather? Are they not permitted to pray, even if their heads are covered from the weather? Again, this is a sincere question. I currently cover my head for worship or prayer times, but I've always wondered if using the "pray without ceasing" verse is really an appropriate application for women's headcoverings.<br /><br />I really enjoy your blog. Keep up the good work!<br />~AnneAnne Elliotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08946220154488689073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844906428636243556.post-49508911929088934392009-10-26T15:25:58.705-05:002009-10-26T15:25:58.705-05:00Lynn,

Know ye not your own selves, how that Yahushua the Messiah is in you, except ye be reprobates?<br /><br />Mat 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.<br /><br />Lynn, I will stand before YHWH for me and you will stand before Him for you. I pray that you find the Truth before it's too late. I will be praying for you. <br /><br />Yahweh bless you, Lynn.<br />Amanda GowanAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686847668477553958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844906428636243556.post-68151950875670147672009-10-26T13:21:41.297-05:002009-10-26T13:21:41.297-05:00That is absolutely the most foolish thing I have e...That is absolutely the most foolish thing I have ever read!Lynnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844906428636243556.post-8629010710350805662009-10-26T13:11:32.198-05:002009-10-26T13:11:32.198-05:00Lynn, I'm sorry, but you can't dispute fac...Lynn, I'm sorry, but you can't dispute facts. Here is my commentary to you...<br /><br />"But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God." (v.16)<br /><br />Paul, by inspiration of the Holy Spirit, closes with the injunction that it was a custom in his day, and it is something God wants all Church ages to practice. He then says, but if any man seem to be contentious the word seem means to think, suppose, or be of the opinion of. Contentious is the Greek word philoneikos it’s a compound word from philos to love and nikos to strife together its also defined as fond of strife or love of strife.<br /><br />In other words, "if any man is of the opinion to love strife over this issue we have no such custom, neither the churches of God." Some will say, "See, Paul says the Churches don't have the headcovering custom." But wait a minute that's not what he's saying, he does not say the Churches don't have that custom. If he did say that why waste the time in communicating the last fifteen verses? Why tell us that you praise us and order us to "keep the ordinances delivered to us"? Is not the headcovering ordinance included in verse two of this chapter? Of course it is!<br />He says they, the apostles, and the others fellowships (Churches) do not have the custom sunetheia with manners—which is a totally different word than that used in verse two. Which is paradosis meaning tradition of arguing whether or not the sisters should wear a headcovering. Why? Because only the Corinthians were having a problem with it. No wonder, it was the Corinthians that were the most "carnal." Only the Corinthians were having a problem obeying this tradition. In many other countries around the world Christian women have no problem wearing the headcovering. So, Paul was saying either there is no such custom in the body of Christ/the Church--all those born again and called out to wear the headcovering. Which would be illogical seeing he just finished speaking about this custom in fifteen verses. Or he is saying they don't have a custom or a manner of arguing about wearing it or not because others sisters do. That is the more correct idea.<br />Look what brother Paul told Timothy about folks that like to argue about truth of the Scriptures instead of obeying.<br /><br />"If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, [even] the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness; He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself." (1 Timothy 6:3-5) <br /><br />The truth is the teaching of the headcovering of Christian women is in the Scriptures. It's a Christian practice that is to be obeyed through out all ages; not just the first century. It is a Godly slap in the face of satan showing his rebellion and disobedience. It is an obedient posture in submitting to your husband as the head and declaring that you agree with God's governmental design that He planned for us. It's considered disobedient for a Christian woman not to wear the headcovering while praying or prophesying. Down through the centuries satan has loved to use his Jezebel's to derail the purpose of God and His Church. Does history show that after the first century they still practiced the headcovering? Yes, let's take a look.<br /><br />Open your heart, Lynn, and receive the Truth before it is too late. Yahweh bless you.<br /><br />Amanda GowanAmandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03686847668477553958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4844906428636243556.post-13177154156314189622009-10-26T10:20:37.043-05:002009-10-26T10:20:37.043-05:00This is all tradition of men. Understand the truth...This is all tradition of men. Understand the truth of Paul's statement in 1 Cor. 11:16 "But if anyone seems to be contentious, we have no such custom, nor do the churches of God"<br /><br />You have freedom in Christ to wear or not wear head coverings. To cut or not cut your hair. But as Paul says it's just a custom and not one equated with God's church.<br /><br />Do as you wish, but don't try to impose your "custom" on those who have freedom in Christ and are not bound to legalism and tradition.<br /><br />We're saved by grace, not by tradition!Lynnnoreply@blogger.com
