This reminds me of a story the late Bro. Billy Cole told about a Baptist lady,
(and I have wonderful Baptist friends) who told one of our Pentecostal
ladies, "You ladies all look alike". to which the Pentecostal lady responded,
"Well, you do too". Who do we look like! Who do they look like. When Jesus
was on earth, the glory of God shone through his face. Where would you ex-
pect to see the glory of God today. Could it be that is what is meant by open
faces. Not covered up. Men don't look ashamed for the most part. Perhaps
boastful, but certainly not ashamed. Could it be there are reasons many of our
ladies are ashamed. Just wondering. Happiness and joy on the inside should be
reflected in our faces.

Sis. Nona Freeman mentioned when they came back to America from Africa many
years ago,she noticed the sad, unhappy faces of the women. No JOY!

The Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, BUT righteousness, peace and joy, in
the Holy Ghost. Perhaps many received the Holy Ghost years ago, but if
we have no joy and peace, perhaps we need a refilling! If you drink from the WATER
OF LIFE freely and deeply, we're going to need a refill from time to time!
HEY, dear Sisters, GOD GIVES REFILLS FREELY! GO TO HIM TODAY!

Noticed also while shopping, etc., that many of the young people today look
the same. Tight jeans with tees, etc. Male and female. So it's not just the
Pentecostal ladies.

I do not try to look like anyone else. I'm just who I am. Very comfortable
with being who and what God made me. And I am NOT ashamed of the
gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to
everyone thatbelieveth, to the Jew and also to the Greek. There was
a time I did not have that power. Am very thankful to have received it.


This is not to imply that all Pentecostal ladies are uphappy, overweight, etc.
or have no JOY. It might be the person/persons we are following. GOD or man!

Not to offend anyone, but my thoughts.
