PREFACE
- Either I coined a term for us or the Lord spoke into
my spirit, "God's Little Trouble Makers". I took the
Dale Carnegie Course which teaches you how to win
friends and influence people. Then the Lord gave us a
ministry which is unpopular and controversial; exactly
the opposite of winning friends and influencing
people. We stir people up to help them. We have caused
many Christians consternation because of their lack of
belief in deliverance and how they interpret the
Bible. This lesson will touch the lives of many people
because of their vanity and weaknesses. Most preachers
want to give you the good news of what God is going to
do for you. We tell you what will happen if you do not
follow the Bible. Sin will reap its harvest. I have
not fully researched this lesson but you can see that
the ramifications are far reaching in the ways that
our lives are affected. Think about why people treat
their hair the way they do, why people dress the way
they do and why people act they way they do. Think
about this lesson in the spiritual, mental, physical
and material realms.
FREEDOM OF
CHOICE - God gives us a freewill to choose
our course in life. As such, we must give others a
freewill to do as they please in things such as dress
and hair styles. It doesn't matter whether it is our
personal preference; it is not our life. Even if it is
contrary to the Bible, the person still has a right to
choose between the world and the Word of God. They
will reap the good or evil from their actions.
JESUS CHRIST
- Isa. 50:6 Jesus Christ looked like the other people
of his day and probably had long hair and a beard. We
don't have any pictures of Him but we have the customs
of His day retained in history. They did have razors
in those days and it was probably easier to shave than
to trim their long hair.
REJECTION
- If a person can not accept themselves as God made
them and as they grow older, their problems probably
are rooted in rejection. Many times the roots start
with their parents. Most of women's rejection can be
traced to how they have been treated by men in their
lives: grandfathers, fathers, brothers, husbands and
sons. The fathers have the strongest influence on
their daughters' lives.
BITTERNESS
- If a person has become rejected, they will tend to
become bitter against those who rejected them. When a
person becomes bitter, they will tend to become
rebellious against those who rejected them or against
society.
REBELLION -
A common sight nowadays is a boy or man with long hair
like a woman. Sometimes this is a sign of vain glory.
Most times it is a sign of rebellion. Many times you
can recognize why the person has long hair. If the
person is in rebellion, check to see if they were
rejected, became bitter and then entered into
rebellion.
INHERITED
CURSES - Baldness can be a curse that has
been handed down through the generations. Some people
say that baldness comes through the mother. If you see
a family that has generations of men with premature
baldness at an early age, that family probably is
cursed by the sins of their ancestors. Check for
familiar spirits if there is no disease and treatment
such as cancer with radiation treatment which causes a
loss of hair.
DISEASES
- Some diseases can cause loss of hair on the head. If
a person has a disease in this category, take the
person through deliverance and pray for their healing
of the disease and then the baldness. God is known to
do creative miracles and may completely restore the
body and hair.
PRIDE, EGO
AND VANITY - Prov. 6:16-19 The driving
force behind many of the actions of men and women is
self or pride, ego and vanity for self. God hates
pride because it causes so much trouble for the human
race. It interferes with our relationship with God
because we want to be gods or to have our own way.
Earline said that we should call this lesson Vanity.
FEARS AND
INSECURITIES - 2 Tim. 1:7 For god hath not
given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of
love, and of a sound mind. Repeat this verse three
times; it will make you feel stronger. God gave us
spirits of power, love and sound mind. All fear comes
from Satan.
Many people in the
ministry and in public life are driven by fears of
different types. Fears of ministers mainly deal with
retaining their positions or ministries. Fears of the
congregation mainly deal with retaining their jobs in
their companies. Psychiatrists have cataloged at least
210 phobias which are fears.
Insecurities are
found in many areas such as inferiority, self pity,
loneliness, timidity, shyness, inadequacy, ineptness,
etc. When we are insecure, we are looking for
something to make us feel allright in that area of
weakness.
WHIPSAW
DEMONS - There are demons that cooperate
with each other to whipsaw the person from one extreme
to another extreme emotion. For instance, take pride
and insecurity. The demon of insecurity will drive the
person to do some act to be prideful. Then the demon
of pride will cause the person to feel insecure. The
whipsaw goes back and forth and the person is never
allowed to fell allright for long.
BEARDS AND
BALDNESS - Many men have beards because
they are going bald. They think this helps to make up
for lack of hair on the top of the head. This probably
indicates insecurity or vanity brought about by
feelings of not fully accepting themselves or trying
to impress others by being something that they aren't.
If the Holy Spirit wanted all men to grow beards,
there would probably be a general impression to that
effect at least in the Christian community.
TRYING TO
LOOK YOUNG - Another one of my objections
is that the men preachers have to look young and act
young to maintain their positions of leadership. Women
have to follow suit to maintain their husbands and
their respect. There is much pressure in the world of
advertising for looking and acting young. This is
ridiculous before God and in the Christian community.
Lev. 19:27, Prov.
16:31 I believe that the Bible honors the grey-haired
man who has wisdom and understanding to impart to the
members of his congregation and is living a righteous
life. Therefore, I don't believe in dying the hair to
hide the gray strands to look young.
CHRISTIAN
FANTASY - Deliverance brings you into the
ultimate reality of God's truth. God is total truth
and there is no fantasy in God. One of the problems we
have in charismatic circles is Christian fantasy which
is really lies in the guise of Christianity. I would
like to paraphrase Jack Harris, "Sheep in wolves
clothing; watch their tracks."
FALSENESS
- I object to anything that is false such as
playacting, put on, theatrics, affectation,
pretension, sophistication, etc. When you try to
change your body and be something that you aren't,
then you are entering into some degree of falseness.
One of the problems
that women have is trying to be super spiritual so
that they will be accepted and feel good about
themselves. Women tend to have problems with accepting
themselves as women because they think that the men
have a better life. This can lead to fleshly prophesy
out-of-the-mind, wanting to lead, mouthing spiritual
sayings that are not Biblical, etc. to be noticed and
to be seen.
We have had some
experiences with women who have done a lot of
prophesying in the church and to people. A friend of
mine got into a position where she had words for
people. At one point, she told her husband that he
would die before the year was out. He did not die but
was in good health. When her words began to fail, she
asked me what should she do. I told her to come up to
Lake Hamilton Bible Camp and we would all stone her.
That was the prescription for making a false prophecy
in the Bible. In the Old Testament they were told to
stone a prophet if his words did not come to pass and
also not to fear them. If we thought about the serious
responsibility a prophet has, we would not say
anything in prophecy unless we had no doubt God said
it. God does not like falseness.
Why do women think
they are not as good as men? When we go back to
Genesis, we find that the woman took and ate. When she
gave to her husband, he took and ate ,and then all the
bad stuff happened. Adam blamed it on Eve. If you take
notice, the bad stuff happened only after he ate. In I
Tim. 2:14, we see that Eve was deceived but not Adam.
This means Eve was sure she was making the right
decision. Adam knew the true state of their action and
chose to do wrong. From there until today, women have
been the brunt of men's jokes. This is still so strong
in some countries today that if people have a girl
child and they don't want it, they let it die or kill
it. We have come from a long line of rejection so we
are conditioned to reject ourselves. When you find
yourself doing things a little out of line, give some
thought to what your motive is and what are you hoping
to gain.
FEMININE
PREACHERS - Some men preachers sound, look
and smell like women; this turns me off. In the Bible,
the man and woman clearly have different roles and
should look like different sexes. Men should be
masculine and women should be feminine. The pressure
of humanism and the new world movement is turning men
into women and women into men.
WOMEN
- Isa. 3:24, 1 Cor. 11:15 & 1 Tim. 2:9 Isa.
3:16-24 The following is the Moody Paraphrase based on
the experiences of deliverance ministers. The
daughters of Zion are haughty. The Lord will smite
with psoriasis. He will discover their secret parts
with female diseases and burning. He will take away
their bravery and give them fear. Instead of a sweet
smell there shall be the stink of cancer and rotting
flesh. Their clothes will be sackcloth and torn; their
head shall be bald.
I Cor. 11:3-15 Paul
reproveth them, because in holy assemblies their men
prayed with their heads covered, and women with their
heads uncovered. The woman's hair is given as a
covering. Some people believe that a woman should have
a scarf or hat on her head when she is in church and
especially when she is ministering to the
congregation.
The covering in this
passage is not the husband but an actual covering for
the head. It is a covering to show that the woman has
chosen to submit to her husband. You realize, of
course, that the covering is not proof of proper
submission, but proper submission is a choice of the
heart and mind of the woman.
Pat Forman had this
experience once when she was to speak with Reggie. She
was in the shower getting ready to go when her head
become frozen looking up at the ceiling. She asked in
prayer what was going on and was impressed that she
should wear something on her head as a sign of
submission to Reggie Forman. They looked up these
scriptures and decided she would wear a barrette in
her hair as a sign that she was choosing to submit to
Reggie's leadership.
1 Tim. 2:9-15 These
passages discuss how women should be dressed and what
manner they should conduct themselves. 1 Pet. 3:1-6
Peter teaches the duty of wives to their husbands. The
Bible clearly teaches that it is not the outward part
of woman that is important but the inward part of her
soul and spirit that God sees. The same could also be
said for the man.
Our daughter, Marie,
worked as a waitress while she was in college to help
pay for her education. She noticed that the women in
business had problems with loosing their hair in
baldness.
1 Pet. 3:7 Likewise,
ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge,
giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker
vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of
life; that you prayers be not hindered. God made women
weaker physically and spiritually than the men. The
men are to be stronger and provide for the women.
When a woman tries
to usurp the role of her husband or tries to act like
a man, she opens herself up to masculinity problems
and demons. She may begin to have problems of baldness
which is common to man but not woman. She may begin to
look, act, talk and have the mannerisms of a man. She
may grow excessive hair on the face while losing hair
on the top of the head.
Some women preachers
try to act like the men preachers to gain acceptance.
They begin to take on the characteristics of men
preachers. It is readily apparent when a woman is
masculine. The woman is not sure whether she really
fits into the role of preacher in the predominately
man's world. She tries to compensate and become one of
the boys and get accepted into the men's club.
Many times the
profession of the woman stems from trying to please
her father who wanted a boy or having a husband that
didn't properly provide for her or having other men
mistreat her. A woman ends up in a man's profession
frequently because she has not been properly treated
as a girl and then as a woman.
Women need to be
very careful and watchful over their motivations. God
does not look at the outward show but He reads what is
in the heart. You may sit in this congregation and do
all the correct outward actions but God is not
impressed unless the heart and mind are correct.
Women wearing
make-up comes from the occult. The women in Egypt were
expert in the use of make-up. It was a part of the
life of the women at the time of the Tower of Babel.
Today women make their eyes in the same manner as the
Egyptians. The Hebrew women then did not use make-up;
even today they are modest in it's use. Women usually
wear make-up because they hope to gain some advantage,
manipulate somebody or because they feel rejected.
I suffered from
rejection for many years of my life. I was often
manipulated into doing things I didn't want to do
because I wanted someone somewhere to like and approve
of me. If your purpose for your manner of dress is to
attract followers, you are in witchcraft. This is true
also for you fellows.
II Kings 9:30-35
Jezebel was a beautiful person on the outside and she
must have kept herself very beautiful. She has
suffered through the sentence placed on her husband
and her children, and she is now alone in the castle.
Jehu has been anointed to destroy her. She hears him
coming, thinking she will just do her usual thing
(seduce him). She paints her face, beautifies her head
and looks out the window hoping to stop God's sentence
against her.
Jehu was not
impressed and carried out his instructions. She was
thrown out the window, run over by horses and eaten by
dogs. Once we had a young lady begin to scream,"Stop
the horses, stop the horses." She was holding her head
in her hands and trying to protect herself. We thought
this strange and looked this scripture up (II Kings
9:30-35).
Our motives will
show up in our reasons for what we do and this is what
God sees.
ASK
YOURSELVES SOME QUESTIONS - Why do you need
to hide the wrinkles? Why do you need to look better?
Apparently, you feel like you look better (younger)
and feel approval (about yourself). Earline and I have
a tendency to examine everything. Was it the Holy
Spirit or another spirit that talked to you?
PERSONAL
PREFERENCE - I never have been impressed by
long hair or beards on men. I prefer short hair which
is easy to maintain. I don't like the beards which
scratch and have to be cut periodically.
PRAYER -
Lord Jesus Christ, I forgive my ancestors and any
others for any sin they may have committed that would
have brought the curse of baldness on men and my
descendants. I ask that you forgive and bless them
with long life and a full-head of hair. Forgive men
where I have sinned and cursed my head. Forgive me for
mocking those with baldness, having a false
personality, living in fantasy, trying to be something
I am not, being rejected, bitter and rebellious. God
please protect every hair from Satan.
Women - Forgive me
for my pride, super spirituality, false prophecy,
usurping the role of my husband, acting and looking
masculine, being haughty, and doing anything that
would open me up to baldness and female problems.
Please deliver me from psoriasis, female diseases,
burning, fear, cancer, baldness, rotting flesh,
excessive hair on the face, and female problems. I
forgive my father, husband, sons and any other men who
have mistreated me.
Men - Forgive me for
my pride, letting the wife be head of the home, acting
and looking feminine, being false in my position as a
man, long hair and vain glory.
Curses - I break the
curses of baldness, pride, falseness, fantasy,
Jezebel, Ahab, female problems. Heal me of any medical
treatment which causes loss of hair.
