Modestic Elegance


Modestic Elegence. What does it mean to live Modestly in a Society that's so against the things 
 
of Christ. 
 
What does it mean to be BORN AGAIN and stand up for Jesus in not only our inside appearance 
 
but on the outside too?
 
In Romans 12:1 it reads I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye 
 
present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable 
 
service.
 
In Romans 12:2 it then says And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the 
 
renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will 
 
of God. 
 
The good, acceptable and perfect will of God is for us brothers and sisters, is to glory God in all 
 
we do, especially with our dressing and not only to look cool.
 
In the beginning God created both male and female in his own image. 
 
When God formed Eve, she was perfectly made, nothing else was added for her to quote on 
 
quote "step UP her game"
 
No weave, which come from other women's hair they've shed for their own religious beliefs,
 
No, makeup needed to "enhance your beauty" , because making you flawless was EXACTLY 
 
Gods first duty!
 
No HIGH HEELS needed, because your standards are high enough and deep seeded by Jesus by 
 
faithfully reading the WORD
 
No holes  to be pierced in your body, because God didn't make any mistakes; If he did that hole 
 
would have been their in, and when God makes something it's final no remakes.
 
All these extras are devilish inventions the enemy has blindfolded us to indulge in.
 
This is not to be taken lightly! God is a calling us back Modestic  Elegance politely 
 
The beauty and our glory established upon us are a spitting image of our maker..G0D (flash 
 
Genesis 1:27  across the scree)
 
You may say we live in 2013, how does the fashion of the bible from God make sense today?
 
In Hebrews 13:8 it says  Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. So we must 
 
OBEY
 
God is calling us ladies to Modestic Elegence!
 
We no longer can believe that outward appearance doesn't matter to God!
 
As someone puts it "when you wash a plate, you don't only wash the inside. You wash the 
 
outside as well so that that plate will be presentable." 
 
If we say that Jesus lives in our hearts yet we fail to portray that conviction in our outward 
 
appearance, how will other people discern between those of God and those who are not? 
 
This understanding can only come from the INSIDE OUT. One must  be BORN AGAIN purified to 
 
receives God’s LIGHT and no longer DOUBT.
 
That Light will then shine through our clothes, hair and everything seen with the naked eye. 
 
Because it's not the world people will see, but it's Jesus Christ in ME.
