Are You Dressing in the Attire of a Harlot?
There is an attire of a harlot (Proverbs 7:10)
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"
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.
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?
