Deserving Deep Repect

I decided to look this word up all these years I've heard Holy and Holiness and I know what it means to an point but never really looked it up...

Holiness-being holy

Holy-1 dedicated to religious use; sacred 2 spiritually pure; sinless
3 deserving deep respect.


Now there is 3 words that stick out "deserving deep respect". So I decided to do some more looking up of words...
Respect-to feel or show honor or self esteem 2 consideration or regard 3 expressions of regard
4 a particular detail 5 reference, relation

Regard -vi. to look attentively 2 to consider 3 to hold in affection and respect...

Now once I got done looking up what seemed like every word in the dictionary I started to put it all together, and why it is so important. It doesn't matter if your in church or not, but if you are in church you need to be holy because of what you represent and if not you still need to be holy for your reputation.
Now this blog has to do with girls and the way they dress(sorry guys)...

Girls, Young Ladies you have to realize 1 thing your name and reputation are the 2 things that you can mess up faster then anything else...The way you dress and flaunt yourself plays a BIG role on how people look at you and treat you...

Being apostolic pentecostal you have lots of standards none that I disagree with...You will never see me in a pair of pants, or with make up on...You will never see me with a razor to my hair....Why I bet is what your wondering or WOW that's taking it to far....Here is my answer
Yes my preacher does preach against all of those things but is that why I do it NO...
I don't wear pants cause its a man apparel....a friend told someone this"how do you tell the difference between the men's bathroom and women's". answer one has a skirt...
Cutting of the hair, the hair is a woman's glory she has power over the angels with her hair....
and it also says in the Bible for a woman not to put a razor to her hair....
Here is a question for you .... When you see a lady with pants on and all of that you think nothing of it....but when you see a lady with long hair a skirt to her knee and no make up you know there something different about her and then when she speaks or looks at you there is such a presence around her.....There is a song thats old and most people don't know it...it says that this world is not my home I'm just passing through...I don't wanna look like the world, talk like the world or even walk like the world, and I sure don't wanna have church like the world....Now for all the churches that are taking standards out of the church, I am amazed and to be honest I don't know why your doing it....I'm 18 years old and I have been going to my church since I was 5 or 6 and not once did I hear anyone talking about letting up and now its different....why???
Does your church think its hard....Its not, people are more accepting of it then when you were growing up....Or is it because time is changing and we don't need to be so tough and have so many boundaries....Let me say that boundaries and fences is what is keeping hell out of our church....you think that all you need is Gods power... What makes you think God wants to dwell somewhere that the world dwells in....he is not of this world....if you think about it long and hard... I know this was supposed to be about holiness and to a degree it is but how do expect your youth to be holy...They don't know what holiness is....

Deserve Deep Respect is the title and do you know what deserve means TO BE WORTHY...
Now there is 3 words above worthy...
WORTH-has to do with a material value or merit...
WORTH LESS -having without worth or merit useless
WORTH WHILE-worth the time or effort spent of true value
and then WORTHY...having worth, value or merit
Merit-worth; value excellence 2 something deserving reward, praise 3 intrinsic (belonging to the real nature of a thing) rightness or wrongness, to deserve....

Now let me try to break this down...You were of the world, you looked for material value, you were worthless,then God pulled you from the pit of hell and spent effort on someone who sure did not deserve it, and God made you worthy to come into his temple and now we start to see HIS temple being filled with the same stuff he brought us out from but its not sinners being saved, no its the saints who want to be like the world and is trying to serve God and play with fire...
Holiness is something our church has to have...When you take out holiness then it becomes easier to take out other things til before you know it you were so busy taking out things to make life easier and funnier that without realizing you took out God....


The Lord dwells not where there is sin....

all about me

Hi my name is Monica as you can see and I am a pentecostal the you can see as well....
I started this on myspace (Thoghts of a Pentecostal Girl) and decided to start blogging...
So by the heading you can already tell what its gonna be about.... MY THOUGHTS... and some people will find this very BORING, but then there are some poeple who find this very interesting...Why I have no idea, but I will say that it will get pretty interesting so I do advise you to read it....
I guess I will tell you a little about myself... I'm 18 bout to be 19 (yea me). I love math and history, I'm gonna go to college for my accouting degree... I go to a wonderful UPC church, the best if you ask me.... My Father is trying to get his license to become a preacher(I'm very proud of him)...
What I believe in...(this is where it gets good)
I'm a 1 God, apostolic ,tongue talkin, holy roller,born again,heaven bound, believer in the liberated power of Jesus name, I've been washed in the blood, saintified by the spirit,I believe in holiness and I suggest you do the same, I was set free at a pentecostal alter on me knee would you pardon me if I'm ashamed to be a 1 God,apostolic, tongue talking, holy roller,born again, heaven boung believer in the liberated power of Jesus name....
That is a song in my church that we haven't sang in a LONG time, but it tell you everything you need to know...So now that you know who I am and what I stand for you can somewhat understand what my thoughts are going to be focused on...
I do want you to understand though that I am by no means trying to push me religion on you, I want to help you through your problems and help you see that there is more to life than what you can see or touch...and there will be times when I talk about why holiness is so imporant( thats coming up real soon, my next blog)

Peace out and I hope you have a wonderful day...
