JR Ensey Chimes in on Hair Laying: Dec. 2010 - Page 3

There is no biblical precedent or practice of laying on hair, letting down hair to summon angels or whatever.

The people that do these things, from the stories we are told, believe there is some connection to their hair and what Paul said and their hair being "my glory", a distorted view of what Paul actually meant

I know from experience that a side effect of that gospel is great fear. Fear that if you even snip a piece of gum out of your hair, that you've broken the power of God in your life. That really bad things are now going to happen to you.

It's almost like an evil curse is now on you because you snipped one hair. That's dangerous doctrine.

But HMH suggest, like other false biblical doctrines, that we can do enough to earn God's goodness or satisfy God's demands. The Gospel importance of Jesus is somehow missing. It's idolatry in that context.

I think it's a slim minority that believes in the holy magic. Most who don't cut their hair simply believe it's the best way to achieve the "long hair" of Cor 11.

I was talking to a close friend of mine regarding "angelic power on her head" and "angels in her hair" and she drew parallels between an electrical power line and her hair and said "It doesn't matter where you cut a power line, if you cut it, the power is out."

I was floored. It saddens me to think that she was teaching her daughters that they have angels in their hair.

Doesn't our power come from the Holy Ghost?

See? I really don't get it. Scripture is very plain about where our power comes from. Hello?

For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels. 1 Corinthians 11:10 KJV.

Head, not hair. It would make more sense if some thought it meant our minds instead of our hair, wouldn't it?

And especially long or uncut hair, where is that in that scripture?

I decided to ask what scriptures they stand on. This is what was given to me.

1 Corinthians 11:6~NLT
Yes, if she refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut off all her hair. And since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, then she should wear a covering.

1 Corinthians 11:15~NLT
Isn't it obvious that long hair is a woman's pride and joy? For has been given to her as a COVERING.

As I ask around no one has admitted to the "laying on of hair" or "angels in their hair". ( which I have never heard of in my life! You have got to be stretching this, Justin please say you are kidding).

I have never personally seen anyone laying hair on anyone, but I have seen the preaching videos and read the testimonials and pictures.

I have, however, heard from our close friend, about the angels in the hair, (that's what she tells her girls), and the "power" parallel between an electric power line and the hair on her head. First hand experience.

My Pastor played the infamous Stoneking @ CLC hair message video about 5 years ago (the one with all of the occult references). This was before I had the Holy Ghost, and I didn't think much about the preaching. I remember thinking, "that's interesting", but never looking further in to it, until years later.

Also, it was "spoken in the Holy Ghost" over the pulpit at my church last year that there is power in a woman's hair, even witches know this. There were a lot of amen's in the audience. I spoke with this person a few months later, and he admits to speaking before fact-checking. Since then, I haven't heard anything over the pulpit regarding the subject.
