Head Covering | SermonIndex

sermonindex Apr 13, 2018

I know very well from the verse below given by Apostle Paul that Christian women should head cover...

"Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels."
~ 1 Corinthians 11:10

It took me many months deciding if I will veil myself or not, but today is the day that I started head covering. I was battling in my mind why I need to do a head covering when majority of Christian women aren't doing it, I want also comfort for myself for my head and free my hair in the air. But I came to conclusion that I should not seek comfort and upholds to this small commandment for Christian woman in '1 Corinthians 11:10'... It gave a different perspective too when I think that head covering is a symbol of authority in my head and because of the angels...

I asked my muslim woman from class prior to my head covering if it is comfortable to do it, and she said, "well, it is written in Quran",.. I've seen muslim women covering their heads, and they are comfortable with it and they feel joy doing so, so why not for me too as Christian woman when it is crystal clear small commandment in the Bible....

Now it feels joyful to do head covering after months of thinking about it, and for my short stay on earth...

God bless you, Evangeline. I also wear a head covering and doing so has provided me with many opportunities to witness. People out there seem to assume you have a straight ticket to the throne of God when you wear a head covering! Strangers will come up and ask you to pray for them, or they may ask you "why?" I love this opportunity to witness. Knowing I am pleasing the LORD with this public acknowledgement of his headship gives me a lot of security knowing his angels are caring for me.

God bless you, my dear.

TakeUptheCross....Wow! I am really amazed at all the positive responses on this thread!

I'm not surprised at all, even Mr. Bill can understand this scripture... 1 Corinthians 11:5...But every wife who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head, since it is the same as if her head were shaven. It does say "wife" does it make any difference, if you're not married?

Praying, prophesying is not limited to married folks - singles do it, too. Seems to me this is the issue regardless of marital status. Angels are in attendance as well. It is my understanding that there is a realm of angelic care that we know little about. The ministry of angels is referred to briefly and then we are left with questions - maybe it is up to us to learn of their ministrations first hand?

What do you think, Bill?

Sandra, I really don't know, this is why I asked.

Bill, Ya reckon a body needs to experiences that test our ability to fend for ourselves so God can intervene and demonstrate his power and protection in ways that leave us awed?

Praise God. I was really scared to read this thread initially, I was hoping no one should discourage this sister. Thankfully no one did!

I always tell my 5 year old Daughter that she does not need to understand why to obey her parents. Though mostly I answer her 'why?', sometimes I really find it unnecessary.

A person does not need to understand a commandment fully to obey it. A simple heart of obedience is enough. I have said before in this forum, if this same command was given in the Bible for men with exact same scripture then I will cover my head irrespective of whether all other Christian men in the world cover or not!
