Quote:
There is an influential writer who also speaks at retreats and Conferences who teaches that the uncut hair of a women gives her power to call angels and other spiritual benefit. A couple of popular male evangelists have helped to spread this idea. Ladies are instructed to spread out their hair over photos of loved ones being prayed for, over prayer requests and even onto the bodies of the sick or oppressed. It is said that the uncut hair will summon angels for protection and healing or for whatever the need is.
Many on AFF feel that this is unbiblical and wrong. I personally feel that it is silly and wrong. There's a spectrum of opinion like with everything else.

Pelathais,
You have given her good answers to her questions. The only point I can see that I agree with about the Doctrine of the hair is that God does honor our obedience to those who have the rule over us.
Many times children obey parents not understanding why they have told them 'no' about something. Parents have a deeper understanding of the dangers out there that come with age.
Many Pastors have the mind of God about a thing that is meant for their congregation alone, because of the spirits in that city or surrounding community. They sound the warning for their people and the obedience without understanding is an honor to God.***just clarification here: the way it is presented as a protection and not a sin is very important, and needs to be in alignment with the scripture, we are not talking about drinking the kool-aid here***
Not cutting your hair and asking God to honor your obedience does get God's attention.
Blessings, Rhoni
