I totally believe in the power of prayer and have many testimonies in my own life of how God answered prayer.

To link the miraculous to uncut hair is reading something into scripture that does not exist- and that is what me and Pressing are talking about.

But to get the desired result, (being that our hair possess certain miraculous power when we pray), we change the word 'power' in 1Cor11:10
to mean dunamis.

Dunamis:
strength power, ability
inherent power, power residing in a thing by virtue of its nature, or which a person or thing exerts and puts forth
power for performing miracles
moral power and excellence of soul
the power and influence which belong to riches and wealth
power and resources arising from numbers
power consisting in or resting upon armies, forces, hosts

But the word is NOT Dunamis it is Exousia translated to authority-

Exousia means:
power of choice, liberty of doing as one pleases
leave or permission
physical and mental power
the ability or strength with which one is endued, which he either possesses or exercises
the power of authority (influence) and of right (privilege)
the power of rule or government (the power of him whose will and commands must be submitted to by others and obeyed)
universally
authority over mankind
specifically
the power of judicial decisions
of authority to manage domestic affairs
metonymically
a thing subject to authority or rule 4c
jurisdiction
one who possesses authority 4c
a ruler, a human magistrate 4c
the leading and more powerful among created beings superior to man, spiritual potentates
a sign of the husband's authority over his wife
the veil with which propriety required a women to cover herself
the sign of regal authority, a crown

a sign of the husband's authority over his wife matches the text in which the word exousia is used.

Exactly! Good post, Liz!

Exactly. Its all in the individual perception. I was simply trying to make a point when it comes to song preference. I don't personally mind the old fly away song. However, I prefer the newer songs, such as Friend of God.

To some its ok to sing "What A Friend We Have in Jesus" but change the words up a bit and change the music style and watch the critics come out of the woodwork. Especially when it comes to songs that the "younger" generations enjoy.

A better analogy for this thread topic would probably be the old "smile awhile" song. (Giving away my age now for sure) Its just a fun song kinda like the jean skirt song. Theres nothing wrong with songs that are "lighter" or are just simply for FUN.
