ARE YOU A HARLOT BY APPAREL?

ARE YOU A HARLOT BY APPAREL?
Genesis 34:31, "But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”
.
We often define a harlot or prostitute to be a woman who usually has sex with different men for monetary gains. But the reality is that, being a harlot or prostitute is far beyond being a commercial sex worker. In the light of the Word of God, a woman can be a prostitute or harlot without being a commercial sex worker. A woman can be a harlot and still look and behave decent; be a zealous Christian woman, and may even be a minister or a minister's wife. 

It is inadequate insight and knowledge to regard only the commercial sex workers as prostitutes. There are different types of harlots or prostitutes, but before God, all are seen as harlots. Let's see another type of harlotry apart from the commercial sex workers:

HARLOTRY BY APPAREL
Genesis 38:15, "When Judah saw her, he thought she was a harlot"

You can be registered as a harlot in heaven simply by the way you dress. You don't need to become an active sex worker; you don't need to commit a single sexual immorality with a man before Heaven can recognize you as a harlot. In fact you may be a virgin but still a heavenly recognized harlot.

How does this happen? 

It happens simply by what you wear. If you wear low-cut dress or low necklines including ball gowns that expose your cleavage, meaning that it shows the upper part or that exposes any percentage of your breasts when you bend down, you are a harlot by apparel before God. 

You don't need to go half naked before you become harlot by apparel, but as long you wear any clothing that reveals your cleavage a little, you are dressed in strange apparel. Also if you wear tight clothes that shows the anatomy of your body to the world as to show your shape, you are dressed in strange apparel; if you wear transparent or perforated clothing that shows your inner-wears, you are dressed in strange apparel; if you wear any dress which does not covers your arms or your kneels, you are dressed in strange apparel. 

You may be a pastor, a minister, deaconess; you can speak in tongues of angels, you can sing like angels, whoever you are or claim to be does not matter, but to God, you are a decent harlot in apparel. If this is too hard for you to take, you can wait until you get to the gate of heaven, only that will be too late, and I will not advise you to wait that too late to make correction.

As a Christian woman, what will be your reason before God for wearing strange apparel that exposes your cleavage? How will you defend your motive for wearing tight, transparent, perforated and short dresses?

The Bible in Zephaniah 1:8 says ‘ and it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord’s sacrifice that I will punish the princes and the King’s children and all such as are clothed with strange apparel.

Deuteronomy 22:5 says ‘ the woman shall not wear that which pertains to a man and a man shall not wear a woman’s garment for all that do so are an abomination to the Lord.

Leviticus 19:28 says, ‘you shall not make any cuttings in your flesh for the dead, nor print any marks upon you: I am the Lord. (Refers to things like tattoo)

1 Timothy 2:9 says, in like manner also that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls or costly array

Hosea 2:13 says, ‘and I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with her earrings and jewels, and went after her lovers and forgot me; says the Lord

For clarity and avoidance of doubt, strange apparel in this Last Day includes the following:

Beads, blush, necklace, tattoo, lipstick, nail paint, false nails, piercing, waist beads, enlarged breasts, bum pads, wigs, leggies, short knickers, strapless, spaghetti, backless, tight gowns, short blouse, tight skirts, miniskirts, trousers, body hug, patted skirt, transparent lace, open cleavage, worldly cut, dreadlocks, ear rings, sagging trousers, chains, wedding rings, body piercing, 100% Indian hair, rubber hair, tin tin, eye lash, false lens, eye shadow, small earrings, big earrings, nose rings, neck chains, leg chains and bracelets.

Ezekiel 33:5 says, ‘he heard the sound of the trumpet and took not warning; his blood shall be upon him. But he that taketh warning shall deliver his soul.

May we not go from church to hell in Jesus name (Matthew 7:21-23).
