I saw you from the beginning of your rebirth when my son told me to listen to your story and you just keep transforming in such a beautiful godly way. You never come off as superior but as one like myself that wants to be obedient and loving toward Jesus and others. A terrific example of Christlikeness. God bless you sister!!!
Same here,, we watched her when she was a baby and then child now she is a strong warrior of our father in heaven. She is very beautiful and it's good she covers her hair as th Lord does not like provocative behaviour
I watch all of Derek Prince's sermons and his wife always wears her head covering, it is a personal preference and I respect anyone who chooses to do that.🙏❤
Pure, unadulterated, heartfelt, lovely TRUTH has been presented here. My spirit tells me that this type of love and devotion warms GOD's heart. This action doesn't save one, but it certainly does endear one to GOD The Father because it is done out of pure love and humbleness before him. Truly BEAUTIFUL♥️✝️♥️
Faith in Jesus warms his heart alone. It is impossible to please him without faith. God looks at your heart not the cloth on your head otherwise Muslims would have salvation too.
@@deesott5123 That is true. GOD sees the love that is in the heart of the one who carries on this tradition. It is not done to secure the salvation that GOD alone, through Jesus Christ can provide, but as a way of saying "Thank You" to him and of showing respect to him.
I feel teary because I'm right where you were.. I left church today feeling super discouraged. All the ways you said you were feeling, I'm there right now. I am like the only one head covering at church. I'm pretty new. I met another young mom with kids the same age at a park , we attend the same church. I wasn't head covered.. we had been texting and connecting and then I saw her today at service (she usually goes to an earlier one) and I just felt so worried or concerned my head covering would be a turn off. Like I think I'm better or holier or judgmental. SAME WORRIES. The devil really doesn't come with new stuff eh? I was sitting here feeling discouraged and decided to go look at some head covering videos to encourage myself LOL. Hearing your transparency is so helpful because I know I'm not alone in these struggles and ultimately I do want to be obedient to Christ and I don't want others opinions to be an idol!
Amen sister, these struggles are real and it does help us die to self ay carry our cross and reflect and decide who we are doing it for ♥️ keep going sister 🙏🏻
I can really relate to your struggling, dear sister. It's hard especially when we are the only veiled one in the church. May God strengthen you and encourage you on your covering journey.
I'm the only woman I know aside from a Mennonite converted from Amish background who lives right next to me. I have left churches for some very legitimate reasons, and am just seeking true fellowship with like- minded Christians, no matter the denomination. But I have not noticed any outward nlstsntor subtle negative judgment from others. The only exception so far is one of my in- laws, who every time she sees me, she calls me Mama Moses, and goes into this explanation as to why she wears hats all the time now for practical reasons do that she doesn't have to bother fixing her hair. But then she comes up with excuses as to why it's not important for spiritual or modesty or headship reasons... whenever I point out what Scripture says. But she's not a believer. She's from the hippy generation, and she took all the feminist ideas and ran with them. So, my take on criticism and judgment from others... whether Christian or not,... is seeing us covered convicts their own hearts, and they're not ready to accept the conviction from God for whatever reason, and so rather than admitting their own rebellion against what God is convicting them on, they brush it off and try to place that shame on those who are trying to walk in obedience, by calling us legalistic or by accusing us of being self- righteous. But we know, and God knows, that we are not "holier than thou." I still struggle against that rebellious spirit that I've always contended with. But this one little act of obedience makes me even more aware of all the other areas of disobedience that I still need to work on. The difference now, is that, instead of running away from my convictions, this heightened awareness causes me to examine my character even more, repent and ask God to help me over come those areas of disobedience where I'm still weak.
Yes! Thank you for sharing this. I’m the only person I know that head covers. My husband was a little uncomfortable at first but has embraced it now. God led me to head covering when I asked how to release control. I have a lot of pride and control issues. Holy Spirit led me straight to 1 Corinthians 11, Which I had never read, when I broke down in tears praying for help. Well, it took about 2 months before I actually obeyed. Holy Spirit repeatedly kept bringing that scripture up and even with cooking, cleaning, and organizing research the articles and videos I would watch would end up being by women of a variety of religions who head cover. Once I finally obeyed I felt so free. It is a great symbolism that God is in charge and that I can relinquish control to my husband when needed. The prayer ritual I have created when I first cover in the morning also reminds me I’m here to serve God, not to serve my flesh. Also, a surprising aspect to head covering is the beauty of it. I love wrapping and feel more genuine when covered. I don’t cover all the time, like certain exercises, if I forget, or swimming. I also notice, if I stop that I am either angry at my husband or not making God my top priority.
I came across your comment and I feel as if I want to control alot to in my marriage and am extremely jealousy do you think head covering helps with these two things I know utiminatilly God is the only one who can change me I was just wondering if this comment is what God led me too. Because I don't cover my head I used to while prayer but I have got lazy about it and just pray without.
I’ve watched many teachings about head coverings and your story resonates most with me. I’ve read the arguments - for and against - and I’d rather err on the side of healthy fear and reverence of the Lord. This is the first I’ve seen of your channel and I’m very encouraged with your testimony on this subject. I know the Lord is working with me. Blessings!
i began head covering this week and i feel deeply blessed by the Lord for it - thank you for sharing your testimony sister! God used it to convict me and look into it
Such a blessing this video! Praise God! I do not wear a head covering the whole day but it makes much sense as are meant to pray without ceasing. Great encouragement to follow in obedience and not to fear man but God.
You summed up entirely how I feel about covering my head for Christ. This process is for me an outward representation of how he has changed me for the better on the inside. Thank you for your video. I can better explain to my family and friends why I am doing it.
thanks for sharing. for me the head cover helps me to negate and despise all the desires and fears of the crowd thats starves for human acceptance versus God`s. it braves me up, and makes me feel superior not over other people but over world`s ugliness and lies.
I have been wearing a head covering for 5 years. I believe It is a very private thing between a woman and The Spirit. I am the only one in my church. What I find interesting is the message from the Holy Spirit is almost the same for each of us who wear head coverings. But I do feel obedient to our Lord and Savior. I stand alone in covering my head. I don't need others to do it to make it right. 😃
That's very encouraging! I'm not the only one in my congregation, but certainly one of the few. At first it took courage but now I'm more used to it! God bless!
Wow, I have been wear head covering when I pray in my private room. But I also feel too embarrassed to go to church wearing it, also afraid of other people’s opinion. But always on my mind this thing needs to be settled. Today I read one article about head covering by watchmen Nee. So convinced that a woman should cover her head. And now I am watching this video. I believe it’s no coincidence. Thanks sister!
I’m right there where you described! Being back and forth about it with the same fears. Thank you for this video, it’s been the most helpful that I’ve watched. To me it feels like a symbol of obedience and submission to the Lord, regardless of what anyone thinks or says. ♥️
I love how Catholic you look veiled. I am a convert from the occult/new age to Catholicism and had a similar conviction re veiling in prayer and then full time with just the same fears and experiences, though being now older I was interested to hear how you are looked at with more respect by men. This sort of modesty, might we say, is a gift to God and also to men to remind them of the dignity of women. May God continue to bless you 🙏
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what that scripture meant too, strong opinions from people on RUclips from both sides. Finally decided it is what felt right. On another note your videos are great, thank you for posting inspiration! From a fellow sister in Christ, God Bless :)
It’s worth reflecting on the fact that the whole church understood 1 Corinthians 11 to require women to cover their heads to pray and to prophesy, and likewise the men uncovered, for something like 1850 years, ie until modern times and the feminist movement as it impacted people in the world.
I had similar worries 🙄 Misunderstanding was the biggest one -that someone may assume I think I am superior and judge those who dont wear head covering, which was never in my heart. I did chicken out for a time, but couldnt forget the way the Lord lead thing in the past. 🥰
How do you interpret this verse which indicates that long hair is what God provides as a head covering? 1 Corinthians 11:15 “but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.”
@@zarnoffa because if Paul meant long hair to be of the same veil he is commanding, you could substitute "long hair" for veil in 1 Cor. 11:6. Let's see if it works. "If she refuses to wear [long hair], she should cut off her hair. But since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, she should wear [long hair]." Doesn't make sense. She should have her hair cut if her hair is cut? She should have her head shaved if her head is shaved? Secondly, the Greek tells us that Paul uses the word katakaluptó for covering in 1 Cor. 11:6, but he uses peribolaion in the scripture you quoted (1 Cor. 11:15). Paul was a master wordsmith an fluent in Greek, besides being under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He did not mean long hair as the same thing he talked about as a veil in 1 Cor. 11:6.
@@carissahinex6550 Since Paul appeals to nature, does it mean Eve was naked... but wore a head scarf? Ha, obviously not! She already had a veil... her hair. Maybe Paul's switching back-and-forth between male and female confuses you... "Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled? If a woman has long hair it is her glory. For her hair is given to her for a veil." "Every man who prays or prophesies with his head veiled dishonors his head. Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him? For a man ought not to veil his head, since he is the image and glory of God." Paul is talking about women wearing long hair down as a veil while praying. Anything else, besides an alternate material veil, is a state of being unveiled. The rule for men is clear: short hair and no hats. The two Greek words you mention mean the same thing and the context is clear. Paul isn't playing with words. He's talking about veiling the head in both cases. Please look at your concordance.
Thank you for sharing your story. I have recently started wearing a head covering while at church and felt quite awkward and embarrassed at first. Many would look at me and it made me feel even more noticed than before I started wearing a covering - and I have LONG hair. Hearing your experience, thoughts and where you are now has really been eye opening and made me realize something's. You are also the first woman I've come across so far (on RUclips and in general 😊) that wears a head covering (let alone throughout the day!)...to show humility and respect to our Lord God and to please him and obey is command. Thank you again 😊
Amen. We are as women to be covered as God directs us too. Mine is covered all the time, from time i wake to bed. Ive been a laughing stock to others but i dont care. Its pleasing to the Lord Jesus!
In our culture here in NE India, women cover their heads to show respect to the elders, and I believe that if we do it because of our culture, how much more should we obey what God's word teaches us. At the same time, God looks at our hearts. Thank you so much for your testimony, sister Chelsea.
Your comments about men looking at you differently is 100% truth. I for instance tend to look at women with head covering more so with respect, honor, and complete beauty whereas women without head covering I look to also with respect, honor but with objectified beauty. I’m overwhelmed by what I’m listening come from you as this is only my 2nd video I have watched. The Lord is great!!!
That’s a great testimony. I have felt a lot of the same things. I started really getting a tugging in my heart that I should cover my head, but it took me a while to get it settled in my head. The longer I was indecisive, the more I kept thinking about it and watching videos about the subject. I went through the same thing about wearing skirts and dresses. I feel that God is putting it on my heart to cover my head as well as wearing skirts and dresses as being modest. I have also been told that I’m holier than thou, which really hurt because it was from someone I cared about, and I never thought that way. I’m just trying to walk in obedience as best I can and I’m still learning better ways to do that. God bless you and your testimony was very helpful
So awesome! Ty for sharing. Your story is almost exactly like mine. My head coverings came in the mail today. It's so good to know I'm not alone in trying to please Jesus. Thanks again, much love to you.
Thanks for sharing. If the Lord lays something on your heart, then you should do it, it's about the convictions of your heart. It's not law, it's not condemnation, it's about grace. If we have peace in our hearts then continue in this Grace. Amen.
Romans 14:1-9 This scripture reminds me of what you’re talking about each person should be fully convinced in their own mind and then live it convinced in their heart because that’s what the Lord loves is a fully convinced heart. ❤️❤️❤️ “As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.”
Wouw, this is amazing. How you explain everything, this is so beautiful. Thank you for telling! This was exactly what I needed. You're a wise woman.❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this - I've been thinking about Christian veiling today and searched for some videos and yours came up. Really interesting. I know it's over three years ago but still helpful today in October 2024.
Thank you for sharing about your head covering experience. I’m blessed and more encouraged after listening to your story. I started covering in 2013, and I was first in the church to do it. Later there were more ladies who also covered their head during our services, Bible studies and prayer meetings. It’s voluntary.
Thank you sister for this video. I’ve been through the exact same experience regarding head coverings for women in prayer. Even in regards to listening to others opinions and asking myself the questions about why I would or wouldn’t want to do it. I finally just put the whole subject away for a time until a few days ago when the Holy Spirit whispered a reminder to my heart about it. Therefore this is timely for me so thank you. Love in Christ. 😊💗
Thank you for this video. I have felt led by God to wear a head covering recently, and you have articulated a lot of things I've been praying about. I think I feel a little nervous, as I've never met another Christian woman who wears a head covering, and I don't want anyone at Church to think that I believe myself better than them. Also, we home educate our young children and I have already found it hard to make friends with the other mum's (none of who are Christians), so I don't know if it would make it even harder. But I think these may just be my fears, and over time I've been overwhelmed with how God blesses our obedience. We are all on our own personal walk with the Lord. I have been wearing a head covering while praying at home, but like you said...I pray throughout the day so it's a little awkward taking it on and off again. This video was very encouraging!
You sound like you're in the UK. Brethren ( Plymouth) assemblies practice head coverings. They're all throught the world but esp UK, birthplace of the Brethren movement. You will find them listed as "Gospel Halls" or Chapels.
Just to encourage you, I completely relate to what you say :) I too felt strongly lead to wear it but had reservations. Every time I took it to the Lord in prayer the answer seemed clear! It was a YES. It is mainly about obedience for me and showing the Lord that I honour Him.
I can relate to a lot of what you’ve said. We also homeschool. I wear my head covered at church but I am going to pray about whether I should wear it full time. I am a bit nervous about how others will judge but I want to do it if it’s what The Lord wants of me. There is definitely a struggle on this issue between flesh and spirit. Nuns keep there head completely covered full time. The part where St Paul says ‘for the angels sake,’ makes me wonder if there is a deeper spiritual reason for the covering.
You explained so beautifully - and honestly all of my own thoughts I heard in your words. Thank you for being open and honest. Blessings to you for a beautiful new year! -Sommer
Amen sister. Thank you so much for sharing this. I felt called to cover a few years ago and have found so much joy, peace and comfor in it. And I feel way less attacked by the enemy. My mind is way more calm and at peace since covering. I'm assuming it has to do with the section about our covered heads being a symbol of us being under authority to angles in 1 Cor 11:10? Covering has really helped me to humble myself, especially in a world of looks and outward appearances meaning so much, which sadly is even in the church. We are called to be set apart, different, unusual, spotless, and blamelesss, not look and act like the world around us. I was called out publicly for it in church from the pulpit which was so embarrassing, but I didn't let it get to me too much becuase people have been taught differently. And yes, when God called me to cover, I struggled with the feminismic attitude of not wanting to humble myself under my husband. I grew up in the church and had never known anyone to cover and never heard teaching on it, so I can see how people simply don't understand it. In my research I studied 1 Cor 11 for months and months. Especailly looking into the meanings in Greek. The word for covering in 1 Corthians 11:4, 5,6,7, 13, is the word, katakalýptō, from katá, "down, and kalýptō, "to cover"-cover down, to make appropriate (complete), i.e. to wear a veil. It is the same word used for the veil that separated the Holy of holies from the priests. It is clearly taking about a peice of fabric. But vrs 15 does NOT use the same word for covering. Vrs 15. "but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering." This is a different word for "cover"= "peribolaion," that which is thrown around or a mantel that can be thrown around (As in when a women tosses or throws her hair around, or a mantel that rest on the shoulders. So hair is considered long if it touches the shoulders) tossing the hair can be very alluring to men. This is where we get the saying, "Let your hair down." Up until only the last generation woman covered in Church. It was only during the sexual revolution that Chriatin women in North America stopped covering their heads. ALL of our grandmothers would have covered in church. This is why the Hutterites, Mennonites, Amish, orthodox churches, and messiniac Jews (Jews who beleive in Jesus), a lot of African congratations, etc still cover their hair. We are not supposed to be like the world. Thank you so much for sharing.
So, I was admiring your background outside as you were talking and noticed at 2:17 when you you said, "it just felt right" two white birds (doves I assumed) showed up in the left hand corner on that building. I don't believe in coincidence, luck or by chance. I believe that Elohim is in control of all things and if we are in tune with his spirit he give us confirmation however he chooses to send it to us. :) I have been convicted to start covering and stumbled across your video and I believe that was confirmation for me because in my spirit it does feel right! Thank you for your heart felt video and may the Lord bless you in aspects of your life!
Thank you so much for posting this. I've recently felt drawn to start seeking out these kind of videos. The ones I have watched - including yours - have brought me such peace as if God's telling me that this is the right thing to do. I have been attracted to putting a head covering on my head for a long time. For the longest time I saw it was mostly just Muslim women wearing head coverings. I didn't want to come across as a Muslim woman. Seeing postings like this has really given me strength to say OK it's time to do this again. This time it's forever. I was covering my head last year. When it started getting warm, I stopped doing it. I think it was partially because of the looks I was getting. Hearing you talk about the getting the looks, feeling embarrassed and being different really helped me make the decision to focus more on pleasing God. Phooey with what others think and say. I am going to start covering my head from now on - except at work - because they won't allow it. I can live with that.
It seems my conviction was almost similar to yours there's a time I went to church without a scarf and I felt ashamed and overwhelmed that I started crying then I got the scarf to church but feared people especially my family but all in all I obeyed and a few days or a month of headcovering I had a dream when I was being anointed with olive oil so am thankful today am still covering my head full-time
I've struggled back and forth on this topic as well.. still in the back and forth stage. My husband has been supportive either way. However, he actually prefers I don't wear it around his unsaved family. I think he feels it could be a stumbling block for them to receive the gospel. Thanks for sharing your experience with it. I totally understand what you mean about men not looking in a fleshy way! So true! -Aubriel
It's for the season that you are in. A lovely sacrifice, and you wear it well, a beautiful scarf, and meditations on dedicating yourself to Christ. Glory to God in the Highest. Love your videos.
You looks so clear and holy with the Scarf over your Head..The holy Spirit works in every Christian at other Wise.I know from own Experience..GOD BLESS YOU ALLTIME
I was radically saved from death in 2016, and have been feasting on the scriptures daily since pretty much. I'm still back and forth with this. I don't think I could wear it all the time, because I already unintentionally convict other Christians by the mere fact I feast and meditate on the scriptures so much. They would definitely be put very off if I started publicly wearing a head covering...lol This extremely heartfelt video has prompted me to seek God on this topic though, so thank you, because if He convicts me to do so, I certainly will :)
I am struggling with this very thing. Thank you for sharing. And you're correct, It's about what your heart is telling you because the Holy Spirit resides in your heart. AMEN sister.
I finally gave in to the call this Lent. I feel so much safer and protected with my hair under cloth, and it helps me to be more connected to people around me, somehow. I try harder to be kind because I'm worried people will assume I'm judging them when I'm not. I just want to have my private space and not be worrying about what my hair is doing in the humidity. I love the constant pressure of the wrap on my head, like the holy Spirit is there. Men have been kind of weird about it sometimes, though. Brothers really need to focus on their own business.
Thank you so much for sharing your headcovering story! I cover my head whenever I pray but I'm practising on covering it everyday❤️God Bless You Sister❤️❤️🙏🙏
Great points and very well put. I just feel better covering. When I don't have my head covered when in the house or early in the morning after waking up I feel cold and naked almost. Not to say women who do not cover are naked, that's just how it makes me feel because the coverings give me warmth. I used to have very long hair and loved how I felt when praying and if my hair was down it would cover me and create like a tent around me. I felt more in-tune and close. I'm not good at explaining this, but I just really do feel better and literally covered by Yehovah when I cover my hair.
I can relate a lot to what you said in the video... it is so beautiful to see how you are walking in the Spirit and keep growing in the Lord. Could you maybe do a video on how to keep walking in the Spirit (not getting distracted for example by thoughts, circumstances, social media and so on), i think that would be so helpful! Blessings 💖
This is a very well explained Head Covering testimony. I am particularly impressed with the gentleness and humility shown and the desire not to enforce your views on others, while making your own position clear. I like the way you have looked at both sides of the issue before taking the correct (in my opinion), Biblical view. This is simply another reason why Calvary Cambridge is such a blessing to me personally.
Apart from your actual testimony which is quite similar to mine, this conviction you have on this issue is a MAIN reason I can see you truly know the Lord Jesus Christ 👍😊 blessings!
Need a scripture where it says you can tell someone's born again by wearing a headcovering when they pray. Thank you also I want a scripture versus saying where someone is a Jezebel
My mom has considered for several years to become mennonite but didn't because she new I wasn't ready for it. But now that I'm in my 30's I have actually considered wearing a head covering. Other than mennonite churches we dont have any other churches around here that have people wearing head coverings so that has made it even harder to decide. I've even mentioned it to youth pastors and they would completely shut it down talking as if it's sexist. Anyways. I think I'll start just wearing one at home when I pray and see how that goes. Thank you for the encouragement. Now I need to find some cute head coverings. 😊
This was well said and you made good points. We really need the fear of the Lord and obedience. You’re always so graceful in your messages. Keep obeying the Lord, God Bless you, sis. 🙌🏼🙏🏼
I always felt weird with my hair out especially at work I thought only Muslim women could cover but reading the Bible it's in there ❤❤❤ its called veiling and im so GRATEFUL GOD GUIDED ME TO YOUR VIDEO AND SO MANY OTHERS I FEEL SO FREE NOW
as a new orthodox christian the lord has brought me so much clarity about these topic, and the role of tradition in the church. I would love to hear your relationship with tradition in the church.
Collosians 2:8 King James Bible Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
VERY well said. Thank you, dear! I so agree what you are saying; Better to have God say, "Well, you didn't have to do that really," than to have Him say, "You did not obey me because you were too worried about what the world thought and decided to conform to the world."
Sister thank you for sharing this. As a newborn I had so much zeal and a bit of pride. I was listening to an older woman ministering other woman in Christ. She would say, one must cover all her hair or she is sinning and condemned. I fell foolishly into this and started to cover and yes I felt humbled in Lord and even more beautiful but, I went into that “holier than thou” attitude. I felt shameful when I didn’t use a covering but, in a silly way because I thought I would go to hell. The Lord has such a beautiful way of showing us the way to Him. A personal knowing of His children. Giving them a gift but, like a good father taking it away when we’ve lost our focus.
@@Jordan-zt1ky omigosh 😭 haha i knew it! 😂 no hate to her, but i really disagree with ALOT of what she's teaching. What really turned me off was when she said she considers The apocryphal book of Enoch as "inspired scripture". Yikes 🚩🚩🚩
@@greenergrass4060 it has been a couple years since I’ve watched a video of hers. She seems to underestimate justification by the imputed righteousness which is of God (not by ourselves/works) by faith 💝
I started wearing a wide headband most days, when i dress up I have a couple of nice scarves which I tie into a bun. When I wear the full scarf, i definitely get looks, but I also feel enveloped by God when I've done it. I'm not going to lie though, some days it's just way too hot for anything. I also thought I don't think God wants us to look silly to non believers either because it would uneccisarily bring negative assumptions, i know people say God is no respector of persons but i don't think humiliation is his thing either. So on days when I can't get it to sit on my head right, i just take it off. I've seen some Christian communities get really critical about how you should tie it and if hair is showing and what modesty is and I'm not convinced that is the spirit of the whole thing. Lets check our own motivations first, just like you said 😊
So many women and Christians are mad about this. They think of this as legalism. I do not. I feel if it says it in the Bible and Paul said to do it we should. It will please God. I feel beings born again and follower of Christ we should do what the Bible says. Not just a few verses but all. Things changed in the 60s and some women stopped wearing a head covering at church and during prayer. It's about mortality, modesty,and principles. I think the most important thing is to pray and ask the Lord what he want you to do. He speaks to you in a small still voice. 🙏🙏💖✝️
While reading the Bible im seeing veiling more as a custom than a commandment I completely agree that a submissive heart is required! Your conviction to wear the veil is a beautiful one and I absolutely encourage you to follow what you feel God is telling you!
Its actually more for the angels' sakes. It is a teaching demonstrated for them they see -in action- the order of headship and it is ultimately the glory of Jesus Christ which shines out for them.
I see headcovering as a crown for daughters of the king of the universe, a physical symbol of spiritual protection, hence Numbers 5:18 when the headcovering was removed during the adultery test as a symbol of not being under her husband’s protection. Also Psalms 140:7 "O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle. Shine on sister.
I'm bothered that many present-day Christians dismiss head coverings as cultural, or they find some other way to dismiss them. Now I notice that women in some groups cover their heads all of the time or during the whole church service, when the scripture ties it to prayer only.
I cover as well the only problem I have is some eczema on my scalp I don’t know if it was from there or from something else but I cover all the time except when I’m in the shower but I think I’m gonna start covering in the shower maybe so many times I want to pray and worship in the shower and one day I was worshiping after I got out of the shower and I didn’t have my head covered yet and The Lord said to me “cover your head when you worship.” It reaffirmed that God wanted me to cover my head but he also wanted me to make sure it was also covered when I wash it which by the way I’m a full-time cover anyway but when I’m in the shower I don’t I have a cover on, but I think I’m gonna start wearing a shower cap so I can worship in the shower. 😀 we do have to set aside our pride and be obedient even in the head covering. I’m so thankful. Great video. Blessings and Yeshua!!! 🤗
I love everything you said. I think God has blessed your obedience and I did the same thing. Knowlege puffs up and God provides knowledge for those who humbly seek Him. I think another way to say humbly is poor. He also gives favor/grace to the poor and needy. Who in faith , that He is God and He rewards those who seek Him. He reveals His word according to His good pleasure. So, if you really ache to love and obey you do what you can, suspicious that it is through a dim mirror and continue to check and recheck for more truth because you need truth, you burn bright for it. All of that is His way not ours, we are in His debt for every bit of those thoughts and we can sleep well, because we see Him riding speedily to us always. Or at least often and when we don't it's brutal and then we don't sleep because we are praying. Please Jesus give back my eyes that see you and your way emerging. Anyway, I loved what you said and I had to look again at tjat and what's around it and I see/read this... Be like me, image me. Christ is the image AND glory of God. Husband is image AND glory of Christ. Wife is the image AND gloy of man. I say this because Christ while flesh (and it is speaking to me of flesh sanctification here, being holy because He is holy and Christ demonstrated Holiness in flesh and spirit) we mimic Him each in the roles He placed us in. We are ment to be helpers of our Husband and he of Christ. Helping in what way? "In quietness and peace winning them for God without a word" In a demonstration of God's powerful work in us. Work doing what? Making us to will and to work as He does and Not as the world does. So, covering your head is beautiful and good. Do it! and also if you here it from Him be a glory to your husband declare that you are his. You keep your glorious hair and idk other stuff just for him. Loving him more than your own flesh because God has made you want to. Ask him if that might motivate him to love Christ more than his own flesh. Ask God too. I know that I more than anyone have seen my husband beaten down and struggling in his flesh and I have wanted to be a not loving wife and open my mouth a cut him down with criticism and I "heard" don't even say you love me when you treat him that way and in really low points even "when you have loved the least of me you have loved me" Anyway God has rewarded me for that stuff too. It all begins with the cloth. Is it a symbol of our flesh. We are protected by their flesh. I believe that if ever I were attacked nothing would come near me while his breath was in him. It's my way of responding to that "die for you" love that Jesus teaches has none better. Forgive me for the length and errors, please 🙏
Ive been covering my head for arround 2 years now when i pray. I just dont cover all the time. Maybe i will cover when im out as well who knows. But i have different scarves and head coverings for prayer and worship.
I start cover my head from today. Seriously God was encouraging me to do that. It's a pleasure to see God also told you about that. I can feel you sister 🥺 Head covering is such a sign of honor our Jesus. God spoke to my heart , I need to honor our husband ( JESUS) HE IS WORTHY 🙌❤️
A woman's long hair is the 'covering'. There are many scriptures on this. Reply if desired. “Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven-for she loved much. -excerpt Luke 7
@@Rosie333Sophia I have a lot of information on this topic if you have interest. ...because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her... In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God? doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;... -Young's Literal Translation (YLT) It can only make sense if the hair is the 'covering'. A women's long hair is her 'covering'. Even in the Old Covenant there was no Law requiring women to wear a fabric covering.
@@8784-l3b I think it’s because some versions say woman and some say wife ? Idk I find 1 Corinthians 11:5 confusing. I thought because it’s referring to wives it made more sense that if she doesn’t wear a head covering she dishonours her “head” which is referring to husband ?
By covering your head, you convey to me a deep conviction of humility and submission to God. God bless you, sister in Christ.

You never come off as superior but as one like myself that wants to be obedient and loving toward Jesus and others. A terrific example of Christlikeness. God bless you sister!!!
Same here,, we watched her when she was a baby and then child now she is a strong warrior of our father in heaven.
She is very beautiful and it's good she covers her hair as th Lord does not like provocative behaviour
I watch all of Derek Prince's sermons and his wife always wears her head covering, it is a personal preference and I respect anyone who chooses to do that.🙏❤
I started covering during prayer also because "it just felt right" and "I am so in love with Jesus". You took the words out of my own heart sister!
I want to start covering my head when I go to church. 🙏🏼🕊
Pure, unadulterated, heartfelt, lovely TRUTH has been presented here. My spirit tells me that this type of love and devotion warms GOD's heart. This action doesn't save one, but it certainly does endear one to GOD The Father because it is done out of pure love and humbleness before him. Truly BEAUTIFUL♥️✝️♥️
Faith in Jesus warms his heart alone. It is impossible to please him without faith. God looks at your heart not the cloth on your head otherwise Muslims would have salvation too.
@@deesott5123 That is true. GOD sees the love that is in the heart of the one who carries on this tradition. It is not done to secure the salvation that GOD alone, through Jesus Christ can provide, but as a way of saying "Thank You" to him and of showing respect to him.

I feel teary because I'm right where you were.. I left church today feeling super discouraged. All the ways you said you were feeling, I'm there right now. I am like the only one head covering at church. I'm pretty new. I met another young mom with kids the same age at a park , we attend the same church. I wasn't head covered.. we had been texting and connecting and then I saw her today at service (she usually goes to an earlier one) and I just felt so worried or concerned my head covering would be a turn off. Like I think I'm better or holier or judgmental. SAME WORRIES. The devil really doesn't come with new stuff eh? I was sitting here feeling discouraged and decided to go look at some head covering videos to encourage myself LOL. Hearing your transparency is so helpful because I know I'm not alone in these struggles and ultimately I do want to be obedient to Christ and I don't want others opinions to be an idol!
Amen sister, these struggles are real and it does help us die to self ay carry our cross and reflect and decide who we are doing it for ♥️ keep going sister 🙏🏻
I can really relate to your struggling, dear sister. It's hard especially when we are the only veiled one in the church. May God strengthen you and encourage you on your covering journey.
I'm the only woman I know aside from a Mennonite converted from Amish background who lives right next to me. I have left churches for some very legitimate reasons, and am just seeking true fellowship with like- minded Christians, no matter the denomination. But I have not noticed any outward nlstsntor subtle negative judgment from others. The only exception so far is one of my in- laws, who every time she sees me, she calls me Mama Moses, and goes into this explanation as to why she wears hats all the time now for practical reasons do that she doesn't have to bother fixing her hair. But then she comes up with excuses as to why it's not important for spiritual or modesty or headship reasons... whenever I point out what Scripture says. But she's not a believer. She's from the hippy generation, and she took all the feminist ideas and ran with them. So, my take on criticism and judgment from others... whether Christian or not,... is seeing us covered convicts their own hearts, and they're not ready to accept the conviction from God for whatever reason, and so rather than admitting their own rebellion against what God is convicting them on, they brush it off and try to place that shame on those who are trying to walk in obedience, by calling us legalistic or by accusing us of being self- righteous. But we know, and God knows, that we are not "holier than thou." I still struggle against that rebellious spirit that I've always contended with. But this one little act of obedience makes me even more aware of all the other areas of disobedience that I still need to work on. The difference now, is that, instead of running away from my convictions, this heightened awareness causes me to examine my character even more, repent and ask God to help me over come those areas of disobedience where I'm still weak.
You’re beautiful inside and out and I see Jesus in you. Thank you for sharing your insights and walk with the Lord 🙏🏻❤️ Louise
"I would like to err on the side of caution. I fear God" - that's a good motivation to obey God. Thanks for sharing. God bless.
I so admire your meekness, humility and piety Chelsea.
You're a constant inspiration to me, thank you...
Yes! Thank you for sharing this. I’m the only person I know that head covers. My husband was a little uncomfortable at first but has embraced it now.
God led me to head covering when I asked how to release control. I have a lot of pride and control issues. Holy Spirit led me straight to 1 Corinthians 11, Which I had never read, when I broke down in tears praying for help. Well, it took about 2 months before I actually obeyed. Holy Spirit repeatedly kept bringing that scripture up and even with cooking, cleaning, and organizing research the articles and videos I would watch would end up being by women of a variety of religions who head cover.
Once I finally obeyed I felt so free. It is a great symbolism that God is in charge and that I can relinquish control to my husband when needed. The prayer ritual I have created when I first cover in the morning also reminds me I’m here to serve God, not to serve my flesh.
Also, a surprising aspect to head covering is the beauty of it. I love wrapping and feel more genuine when covered. I don’t cover all the time, like certain exercises, if I forget, or swimming. I also notice, if I stop that I am either angry at my husband or not making God my top priority.
I came across your comment and I feel as if I want to control alot to in my marriage and am extremely jealousy do you think head covering helps with these two things I know utiminatilly God is the only one who can change me I was just wondering if this comment is what God led me too. Because I don't cover my head I used to while prayer but I have got lazy about it and just pray without.
Does this also apply to not married women /girls?
@@linakduck31I would say yes, because they are married to Christ.
I’ve watched many teachings about head coverings and your story resonates most with me. I’ve read the arguments - for and against - and I’d rather err on the side of healthy fear and reverence of the Lord. This is the first I’ve seen of your channel and I’m very encouraged with your testimony on this subject. I know the Lord is working with me. Blessings!
i began head covering this week and i feel deeply blessed by the Lord for it - thank you for sharing your testimony sister! God used it to convict me and look into it
Hallelujah 🙌🏻♥️🙏🏻😭😍
Such a blessing this video! Praise God! I do not wear a head covering the whole day but it makes much sense as are meant to pray without ceasing. Great encouragement to follow in obedience and not to fear man but God.
You summed up entirely how I feel about covering my head for Christ. This process is for me an outward representation of how he has changed me for the better on the inside. Thank you for your video. I can better explain to my family and friends why I am doing it.
thanks for sharing. for me the head cover helps me to negate and despise all the desires and fears of the crowd thats starves for human acceptance versus God`s. it braves me up, and makes me feel superior not over other people but over world`s ugliness and lies.
I have been wearing a head covering for 5 years. I believe It is a very private thing between a woman and The Spirit. I am the only one in my church. What I find interesting is the message from the Holy Spirit is almost the same for each of us who wear head coverings. But I do feel obedient to our Lord and Savior. I stand alone in covering my head. I don't need others to do it to make it right. 😃
That's very encouraging! I'm not the only one in my congregation, but certainly one of the few. At first it took courage but now I'm more used to it! God bless!
I feel exactly the same. I have been covering my head for about 4 years now.
Wow, I have been wear head covering when I pray in my private room. But I also feel too embarrassed to go to church wearing it, also afraid of other people’s opinion. But always on my mind this thing needs to be settled. Today I read one article about head covering by watchmen Nee. So convinced that a woman should cover her head. And now I am watching this video. I believe it’s no coincidence. Thanks sister!
I’m right there where you described! Being back and forth about it with the same fears. Thank you for this video, it’s been the most helpful that I’ve watched. To me it feels like a symbol of obedience and submission to the Lord, regardless of what anyone thinks or says. ♥️
I love how Catholic you look veiled. I am a convert from the occult/new age to Catholicism and had a similar conviction re veiling in prayer and then full time with just the same fears and experiences, though being now older I was interested to hear how you are looked at with more respect by men. This sort of modesty, might we say, is a gift to God and also to men to remind them of the dignity of women. May God continue to bless you 🙏
I spent a lot of time trying to figure out what that scripture meant too, strong opinions from people on RUclips from both sides. Finally decided it is what felt right. On another note your videos are great, thank you for posting inspiration! From a fellow sister in Christ, God Bless :)
That white dove flying at 3:10 is beautiful.
It’s worth reflecting on the fact that the whole church understood 1 Corinthians 11 to require women to cover their heads to pray and to prophesy, and likewise the men uncovered, for something like 1850 years, ie until modern times and the feminist movement as it impacted people in the world.
I had similar worries 🙄 Misunderstanding was the biggest one -that someone may assume I think I am superior and judge those who dont wear head covering, which was never in my heart. I did chicken out for a time, but couldnt forget the way the Lord lead thing in the past. 🥰
That's a lovely name you have
How do you interpret this verse which indicates that long hair is what God provides as a head covering?
1 Corinthians 11:15
“but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering.”
@@zarnoffa because if Paul meant long hair to be of the same veil he is commanding, you could substitute "long hair" for veil in 1 Cor. 11:6. Let's see if it works.
"If she refuses to wear [long hair], she should cut off her hair. But since it is shameful for a woman to have her hair cut or her head shaved, she should wear [long hair]."
Doesn't make sense. She should have her hair cut if her hair is cut? She should have her head shaved if her head is shaved?
Secondly, the Greek tells us that Paul uses the word katakaluptó for covering in 1 Cor. 11:6, but he uses peribolaion in the scripture you quoted (1 Cor. 11:15). Paul was a master wordsmith an fluent in Greek, besides being under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He did not mean long hair as the same thing he talked about as a veil in 1 Cor. 11:6.
@@carissahinex6550
Since Paul appeals to nature, does it mean Eve was naked... but wore a head scarf? Ha, obviously not! She already had a veil... her hair.
Maybe Paul's switching back-and-forth between male and female confuses you...
"Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled? If a woman has long hair it is her glory. For her hair is given to her for a veil."
"Every man who prays or prophesies with his head veiled dishonors his head. Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair it is a disgrace for him? For a man ought not to veil his head, since he is the image and glory of God."
Paul is talking about women wearing long hair down as a veil while praying. Anything else, besides an alternate material veil, is a state of being unveiled. The rule for men is clear: short hair and no hats.
The two Greek words you mention mean the same thing and the context is clear. Paul isn't playing with words. He's talking about veiling the head in both cases. Please look at your concordance.
Where can I buy head coverings?
Thank you for sharing your story. I have recently started wearing a head covering while at church and felt quite awkward and embarrassed at first. Many would look at me and it made me feel even more noticed than before I started wearing a covering - and I have LONG hair. Hearing your experience, thoughts and where you are now has really been eye opening and made me realize something's. You are also the first woman I've come across so far (on RUclips and in general 😊) that wears a head covering (let alone throughout the day!)...to show humility and respect to our Lord God and to please him and obey is command. Thank you again 😊
Amen. We are as women to be covered as God directs us too. Mine is covered all the time, from time i wake to bed. Ive been a laughing stock to others but i dont care. Its pleasing to the Lord Jesus!
In our culture here in NE India, women cover their heads to show respect to the elders, and I believe that if we do it because of our culture, how much more should we obey what God's word teaches us. At the same time, God looks at our hearts. Thank you so much for your testimony, sister Chelsea.
Your comments about men looking at you differently is 100% truth. I for instance tend to look at women with head covering more so with respect, honor, and complete beauty whereas women without head covering I look to also with respect, honor but with objectified beauty. I’m overwhelmed by what I’m listening come from you as this is only my 2nd video I have watched. The Lord is great!!!
You look and sound absolutely saintly. Inspiring 😍✝️🌷
Everything is beautiful in this video, look at the doves flying in the background 🕊️
That’s a great testimony. I have felt a lot of the same things. I started really getting a tugging in my heart that I should cover my head, but it took me a while to get it settled in my head. The longer I was indecisive, the more I kept thinking about it and watching videos about the subject. I went through the same thing about wearing skirts and dresses. I feel that God is putting it on my heart to cover my head as well as wearing skirts and dresses as being modest. I have also been told that I’m holier than thou, which really hurt because it was from someone I cared about, and I never thought that way. I’m just trying to walk in obedience as best I can and I’m still learning better ways to do that. God bless you and your testimony was very helpful
Beautiful testimony! Well said!! May the Lord bless you for obeying and sharing your story. May others be encouraged to obey by your testimony. ♥️
So awesome! Ty for sharing. Your story is almost exactly like mine. My head coverings came in the mail today. It's so good to know I'm not alone in trying to please Jesus. Thanks again, much love to you.
Thanks for sharing. If the Lord lays something on your heart, then you should do it, it's about the convictions of your heart. It's not law, it's not condemnation, it's about grace. If we have peace in our hearts then continue in this Grace. Amen.
Hi from Australia 🇦🇺 Keep shining your light for Jesus 💕
God has shown me this last week. I did an intense study and I have experienced a break through!
Praise God! Your Scriptural fidelity is always encouraging.
I've had the same struggle. You go sister. Better to error on the side of God then the side of man😊
Romans 14:1-9 This scripture reminds me of what you’re talking about each person should be fully convinced in their own mind and then live it convinced in their heart because that’s what the Lord loves is a fully convinced heart. ❤️❤️❤️
“As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand. One person esteems one day as better than another, while another esteems all days alike. Each one should be fully convinced in his own mind. The one who observes the day, observes it in honor of the Lord. The one who eats, eats in honor of the Lord, since he gives thanks to God, while the one who abstains, abstains in honor of the Lord and gives thanks to God. For none of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself. If we live, we live to the Lord, and if we die, we die to the Lord. So then, whether we live or whether we die, we are the Lord's. For to this end Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and of the living.”
Wouw, this is amazing. How you explain everything, this is so beautiful. Thank you for telling! This was exactly what I needed. You're a wise woman.❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing this - I've been thinking about Christian veiling today and searched for some videos and yours came up. Really interesting. I know it's over three years ago but still helpful today in October 2024.
I use to wear it more when I prayed and then I wasn't but I'm going to again and I thank you for this video, bless you sister.
Thank you for sharing about your head covering experience. I’m blessed and more encouraged after listening to your story. I started covering in 2013, and I was first in the church to do it. Later there were more ladies who also covered their head during our services, Bible studies and prayer meetings. It’s voluntary.
Thank you sister for this video. I’ve been through the exact same experience regarding head coverings for women in prayer. Even in regards to listening to others opinions and asking myself the questions about why I would or wouldn’t want to do it. I finally just put the whole subject away for a time until a few days ago when the Holy Spirit whispered a reminder to my heart about it. Therefore this is timely for me so thank you. Love in Christ. 😊💗
I want to start with praying then wearing a covering everywhere because I feel its pleasing to God. I'm barely starting that beautiful journey
Thank you for this video. I have felt led by God to wear a head covering recently, and you have articulated a lot of things I've been praying about. I think I feel a little nervous, as I've never met another Christian woman who wears a head covering, and I don't want anyone at Church to think that I believe myself better than them. Also, we home educate our young children and I have already found it hard to make friends with the other mum's (none of who are Christians), so I don't know if it would make it even harder. But I think these may just be my fears, and over time I've been overwhelmed with how God blesses our obedience. We are all on our own personal walk with the Lord. I have been wearing a head covering while praying at home, but like you said...I pray throughout the day so it's a little awkward taking it on and off again. This video was very encouraging!
You sound like you're in the UK. Brethren ( Plymouth) assemblies practice head coverings. They're all throught the world but esp UK, birthplace of the Brethren movement. You will find them listed as "Gospel Halls" or Chapels.
Just to encourage you, I completely relate to what you say :) I too felt strongly lead to wear it but had reservations. Every time I took it to the Lord in prayer the answer seemed clear! It was a YES. It is mainly about obedience for me and showing the Lord that I honour Him.
It will make it harder for you to connect with non Christian mums. Read what the Apostle Paul says in 1 Corinthians 9:19-22.
I can relate to a lot of what you’ve said. We also homeschool. I wear my head covered at church but I am going to pray about whether I should wear it full time. I am a bit nervous about how others will judge but I want to do it if it’s what The Lord wants of me. There is definitely a struggle on this issue between flesh and spirit. Nuns keep there head completely covered full time. The part where St Paul says ‘for the angels sake,’ makes me wonder if there is a deeper spiritual reason for the covering.
@@paulabrant9299 that is an interesting verse, thank you.
Amen! All glory to God. Thank you for sharing your testimony.
You explained so beautifully - and honestly all of my own thoughts I heard in your words. Thank you for being open and honest. Blessings to you for a beautiful new year! -Sommer
Amen sister. Thank you so much for sharing this. I felt called to cover a few years ago and have found so much joy, peace and comfor in it. And I feel way less attacked by the enemy. My mind is way more calm and at peace since covering. I'm assuming it has to do with the section about our covered heads being a symbol of us being under authority to angles in 1 Cor 11:10?
Covering has really helped me to humble myself, especially in a world of looks and outward appearances meaning so much, which sadly is even in the church. We are called to be set apart, different, unusual, spotless, and blamelesss, not look and act like the world around us. I was called out publicly for it in church from the pulpit which was so embarrassing, but I didn't let it get to me too much becuase people have been taught differently. And yes, when God called me to cover, I struggled with the feminismic attitude of not wanting to humble myself under my husband. I grew up in the church and had never known anyone to cover and never heard teaching on it, so I can see how people simply don't understand it. In my research I studied 1 Cor 11 for months and months. Especailly looking into the meanings in Greek.
The word for covering in 1 Corthians 11:4, 5,6,7, 13, is the word, katakalýptō, from katá, "down, and kalýptō, "to cover"-cover down, to make appropriate (complete), i.e. to wear a veil.
It is the same word used for the veil that separated the Holy of holies from the priests. It is clearly taking about a peice of fabric.
But vrs 15 does NOT use the same word for covering. Vrs 15. "but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering."
This is a different word for "cover"= "peribolaion," that which is thrown around or a mantel that can be thrown around (As in when a women tosses or throws her hair around, or a mantel that rest on the shoulders. So hair is considered long if it touches the shoulders) tossing the hair can be very alluring to men.
This is where we get the saying, "Let your hair down."
Up until only the last generation woman covered in Church. It was only during the sexual revolution that Chriatin women in North America stopped covering their heads. ALL of our grandmothers would have covered in church. This is why the Hutterites, Mennonites, Amish, orthodox churches, and messiniac Jews (Jews who beleive in Jesus), a lot of African congratations, etc still cover their hair.
We are not supposed to be like the world. Thank you so much for sharing.
Yes! "I feel less attacked" is my exact experience.
Praise the Lord. Thank you. It’s so nice to know I’m not alone. I am the only one I know who covers my head. I love your heart.
So, I was admiring your background outside as you were talking and noticed at 2:17 when you you said, "it just felt right" two white birds (doves I assumed) showed up in the left hand corner on that building. I don't believe in coincidence, luck or by chance. I believe that Elohim is in control of all things and if we are in tune with his spirit he give us confirmation however he chooses to send it to us. :) I have been convicted to start covering and stumbled across your video and I believe that was confirmation for me because in my spirit it does feel right! Thank you for your heart felt video and may the Lord bless you in aspects of your life!
There was one brown one as well : )
Thank you so much for posting this.
I've recently felt drawn to start seeking out these kind of videos. The ones I have watched - including yours - have brought me such peace as if God's telling me that this is the right thing to do. I have been attracted to putting a head covering on my head for a long time. For the longest time I saw it was mostly just Muslim women wearing head coverings. I didn't want to come across as a Muslim woman. Seeing postings like this has really given me strength to say OK it's time to do this again. This time it's forever. I was covering my head last year. When it started getting warm, I stopped doing it. I think it was partially because of the looks I was getting. Hearing you talk about the getting the looks, feeling embarrassed and being different really helped me make the decision to focus more on pleasing God. Phooey with what others think and say. I am going to start covering my head from now on - except at work - because they won't allow it. I can live with that.
Thanks so much for sharing your testimony. We enjoyed watching it!
It seems my conviction was almost similar to yours there's a time I went to church without a scarf and I felt ashamed and overwhelmed that I started crying then I got the scarf to church but feared people especially my family but all in all I obeyed and a few days or a month of headcovering I had a dream when I was being anointed with olive oil so am thankful today am still covering my head full-time
Ah beloved :) this is beautiful! And so similar to my own experience 🤣 I love the way you explained.
I've struggled back and forth on this topic as well.. still in the back and forth stage. My husband has been supportive either way. However, he actually prefers I don't wear it around his unsaved family. I think he feels it could be a stumbling block for them to receive the gospel.
Thanks for sharing your experience with it. I totally understand what you mean about men not looking in a fleshy way! So true! -Aubriel

I was radically saved from death in 2016, and have been feasting on the scriptures daily since pretty much. I'm still back and forth with this. I don't think I could wear it all the time, because I already unintentionally convict other Christians by the mere fact I feast and meditate on the scriptures so much. They would definitely be put very off if I started publicly wearing a head covering...lol This extremely heartfelt video has prompted me to seek God on this topic though, so thank you, because if He convicts me to do so, I certainly will :)
Lovely, I totally respect your obedience to the Lord
I am struggling with this very thing. Thank you for sharing. And you're correct, It's about what your heart is telling you because the Holy Spirit resides in your heart. AMEN sister.
I post on this several times a week.

argument against a fabric covering.
I finally gave in to the call this Lent. I feel so much safer and protected with my hair under cloth, and it helps me to be more connected to people around me, somehow. I try harder to be kind because I'm worried people will assume I'm judging them when I'm not. I just want to have my private space and not be worrying about what my hair is doing in the humidity. I love the constant pressure of the wrap on my head, like the holy Spirit is there. Men have been kind of weird about it sometimes, though. Brothers really need to focus on their own business.
I've been looking into veiling. This is super helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, your truthfulness is inspiring.

God bless you! Tanks for your explanation! May many women follow you in relation to God and His commands!
Thank you for sharing your testimony. It is incredibly encouraging.
Thank you so much for sharing your headcovering story! I cover my head whenever I pray but I'm practising on covering it everyday❤️God Bless You Sister❤️❤️🙏🙏
❤ The Lord be magnified sister !
Thank you, this is beautiful and very moving.
Great points and very well put. I just feel better covering. When I don't have my head covered when in the house or early in the morning after waking up I feel cold and naked almost. Not to say women who do not cover are naked, that's just how it makes me feel because the coverings give me warmth.
I used to have very long hair and loved how I felt when praying and if my hair was down it would cover me and create like a tent around me. I felt more in-tune and close. I'm not good at explaining this, but I just really do feel better and literally covered by Yehovah when I cover my hair.
I can relate a lot to what you said in the video... it is so beautiful to see how you are walking in the Spirit and keep growing in the Lord. Could you maybe do a video on how to keep walking in the Spirit (not getting distracted for example by thoughts, circumstances, social media and so on), i think that would be so helpful!
Blessings 💖
Hmm I’m struggling with that quite a lot I’m not sure I’m able to offer advice on that one yet lol 🙏🏻
This is a very well explained Head Covering testimony. I am particularly impressed with the gentleness and humility shown and the desire not to enforce your views on others, while making your own position clear. I like the way you have looked at both sides of the issue before taking the correct (in my opinion), Biblical view. This is simply another reason why Calvary Cambridge is such a blessing to me personally.
I feel called to do this also and feeling the same as you x thanks for being so open x
Apart from your actual testimony which is quite similar to mine, this conviction you have on this issue is a MAIN reason I can see you truly know the Lord Jesus Christ 👍😊 blessings!
This is NOT BIBLICAL
And how dare you
@@keepitrealoriginal hi jezebel!
Scripture please
Need a scripture where it says you can tell someone's born again by wearing a headcovering when they pray. Thank you also I want a scripture versus saying where someone is a Jezebel
My mom has considered for several years to become mennonite but didn't because she new I wasn't ready for it. But now that I'm in my 30's I have actually considered wearing a head covering. Other than mennonite churches we dont have any other churches around here that have people wearing head coverings so that has made it even harder to decide. I've even mentioned it to youth pastors and they would completely shut it down talking as if it's sexist. Anyways. I think I'll start just wearing one at home when I pray and see how that goes. Thank you for the encouragement. Now I need to find some cute head coverings. 😊
Maybe become Catholic 😉. It si fun.
This was well said and you made good points. We really need the fear of the Lord and obedience. You’re always so graceful in your messages. Keep obeying the Lord, God Bless you, sis. 🙌🏼🙏🏼
I wish and pray that some more of my 70 year olds would pray about this. You are lovely inside and out. God bless you and yours. ❤
I always felt weird with my hair out especially at work I thought only Muslim women could cover but reading the Bible it's in there ❤❤❤ its called veiling and im so GRATEFUL GOD GUIDED ME TO YOUR VIDEO AND SO MANY OTHERS I FEEL SO FREE NOW
This is so beautiful! I love this. God bless you sister 🙏
as a new orthodox christian the lord has brought me so much clarity about these topic, and the role of tradition in the church. I would love to hear your relationship with tradition in the church.
Collosians 2:8
King James Bible
Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
GOD bless you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. He loves you so much.................Alleluia!
VERY well said. Thank you, dear! I so agree what you are saying; Better to have God say, "Well, you didn't have to do that really," than to have Him say, "You did not obey me because you were too worried about what the world thought and decided to conform to the world."
Sister thank you for sharing this. As a newborn I had so much zeal and a bit of pride. I was listening to an older woman ministering other woman in Christ. She would say, one must cover all her hair or she is sinning and condemned. I fell foolishly into this and started to cover and yes I felt humbled in Lord and even more beautiful but, I went into that “holier than thou” attitude. I felt shameful when I didn’t use a covering but, in a silly way because I thought I would go to hell. The Lord has such a beautiful way of showing us the way to Him. A personal knowing of His children. Giving them a gift but, like a good father taking it away when we’ve lost our focus.
Let me guess, that older woman's youtube is called " Earthen Vessels" ? And her profile pic is that of a painting of a woman in a blue veil?
@@greenergrass4060 yup, that’s the one haha
@@Jordan-zt1ky omigosh 😭 haha i knew it! 😂 no hate to her, but i really disagree with ALOT of what she's teaching.
What really turned me off was when she said she considers The apocryphal book of Enoch as "inspired scripture". Yikes 🚩🚩🚩
@@Jordan-zt1ky
But i still agree that women should cover up WHEN praying or prophesying (as instructed by st. Paul)
@@greenergrass4060 it has been a couple years since I’ve watched a video of hers. She seems to underestimate justification by the imputed righteousness which is of God (not by ourselves/works) by faith 💝
I started wearing a wide headband most days, when i dress up I have a couple of nice scarves which I tie into a bun. When I wear the full scarf, i definitely get looks, but I also feel enveloped by God when I've done it. I'm not going to lie though, some days it's just way too hot for anything. I also thought I don't think God wants us to look silly to non believers either because it would uneccisarily bring negative assumptions, i know people say God is no respector of persons but i don't think humiliation is his thing either. So on days when I can't get it to sit on my head right, i just take it off. I've seen some Christian communities get really critical about how you should tie it and if hair is showing and what modesty is and I'm not convinced that is the spirit of the whole thing. Lets check our own motivations first, just like you said 😊
Amen! Totally agree 🙏🏻
So many women and Christians are mad about this. They think of this as legalism. I do not. I feel if it says it in the Bible and Paul said to do it we should. It will please God. I feel beings born again and follower of Christ we should do what the Bible says. Not just a few verses but all. Things changed in the 60s and some women stopped wearing a head covering at church and during prayer. It's about mortality, modesty,and principles. I think the most important thing is to pray and ask the Lord what he want you to do. He speaks to you in a small still voice. 🙏🙏💖✝️
While reading the Bible im seeing veiling more as a custom than a commandment I completely agree that a submissive heart is required! Your conviction to wear the veil is a beautiful one and I absolutely encourage you to follow what you feel God is telling you!
Good on you for wearing one. God bless you
Its actually more for the angels' sakes. It is a teaching demonstrated for them they see -in action- the order of headship and it is ultimately the glory of Jesus Christ which shines out for them.
I started wearing a head covering this year and it does feel right.
🕊️👑יהוה
I see headcovering as a crown for daughters of the king of the universe, a physical symbol of spiritual protection, hence Numbers 5:18 when the headcovering was removed during the adultery test as a symbol of not being under her husband’s protection. Also Psalms 140:7 "O God the Lord, the strength of my salvation, You have covered my head in the day of battle. Shine on sister.
I'm bothered that many present-day Christians dismiss head coverings as cultural, or they find some other way to dismiss them. Now I notice that women in some groups cover their heads all of the time or during the whole church service, when the scripture ties it to prayer only.
And corporate prayer too, at that! The context of it in scripture is during gatherings of believers, not when home alone, for example.
I cover as well the only problem I have is some eczema on my scalp I don’t know if it was from there or from something else but I cover all the time except when I’m in the shower but I think I’m gonna start covering in the shower maybe so many times I want to pray and worship in the shower and one day I was worshiping after I got out of the shower and I didn’t have my head covered yet and The Lord said to me “cover your head when you worship.” It reaffirmed that God wanted me to cover my head but he also wanted me to make sure it was also covered when I wash it which by the way I’m a full-time cover anyway but when I’m in the shower I don’t I have a cover on, but I think I’m gonna start wearing a shower cap so I can worship in the shower. 😀 we do have to set aside our pride and be obedient even in the head covering. I’m so thankful. Great video. Blessings and Yeshua!!! 🤗
I love everything you said. I think God has blessed your obedience and I did the same thing. Knowlege puffs up and God provides knowledge for those who humbly seek Him. I think another way to say humbly is poor. He also gives favor/grace to the poor and needy. Who in faith , that He is God and He rewards those who seek Him. He reveals His word according to His good pleasure. So, if you really ache to love and obey you do what you can, suspicious that it is through a dim mirror and continue to check and recheck for more truth because you need truth, you burn bright for it. All of that is His way not ours, we are in His debt for every bit of those thoughts and we can sleep well, because we see Him riding speedily to us always. Or at least often and when we don't it's brutal and then we don't sleep because we are praying. Please Jesus give back my eyes that see you and your way emerging.
Anyway, I loved what you said and I had to look again at tjat and what's around it and I see/read this... Be like me, image me. Christ is the image AND glory of God. Husband is image AND glory of Christ. Wife is the image AND gloy of man. I say this because Christ while flesh (and it is speaking to me of flesh sanctification here, being holy because He is holy and Christ demonstrated Holiness in flesh and spirit) we mimic Him each in the roles He placed us in. We are ment to be helpers of our Husband and he of Christ. Helping in what way? "In quietness and peace winning them for God without a word" In a demonstration of God's powerful work in us. Work doing what? Making us to will and to work as He does and Not as the world does.
So, covering your head is beautiful and good. Do it! and also if you here it from Him be a glory to your husband declare that you are his. You keep your glorious hair and idk other stuff just for him. Loving him more than your own flesh because God has made you want to. Ask him if that might motivate him to love Christ more than his own flesh. Ask God too.
I know that I more than anyone have seen my husband beaten down and struggling in his flesh and I have wanted to be a not loving wife and open my mouth a cut him down with criticism and I "heard" don't even say you love me when you treat him that way and in really low points even "when you have loved the least of me you have loved me"
Anyway God has rewarded me for that stuff too. It all begins with the cloth. Is it a symbol of our flesh. We are protected by their flesh. I believe that if ever I were attacked nothing would come near me while his breath was in him.
It's my way of responding to that "die for you" love that Jesus teaches has none better.
Forgive me for the length and errors, please 🙏
Ive been covering my head for arround 2 years now when i pray. I just dont cover all the time. Maybe i will cover when im out as well who knows. But i have different scarves and head coverings for prayer and worship.
Thank you for your story, sis. Appreciate you speaking on this. I've a feeling you might like Zac Poonen. Not sure if you've heard of him before?
You are lovely. Keep it up sweet sister. Bless you ;-)
I start cover my head from today. Seriously God was encouraging me to do that. It's a pleasure to see God also told you about that. I can feel you sister 🥺 Head covering is such a sign of honor our Jesus. God spoke to my heart , I need to honor our husband ( JESUS) HE IS WORTHY 🙌❤️
A woman's long hair is the 'covering'. There are many
scriptures on this. Reply if desired.
“Do you see this woman? I entered your house; you gave me no water for my feet, but she has wet my feet with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You gave me no kiss, but from the time I came in she has not ceased to kiss my feet. You did not anoint my head with oil, but she has anointed my feet with ointment. Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven-for she loved much.
-excerpt Luke 7
@@8784-l3bI think they are supposed to cover with a veil when praying but it’s not mandatory in every day life
@@Rosie333Sophia I have a lot of information on
this topic if you have interest.
...because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her...
In your own selves judge ye; is it seemly for a woman uncovered to pray to God? doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man indeed have long hair, a dishonour it is to him? and a woman, if she have long hair, a glory it is to her, because the hair instead of a covering hath been given to her;...
-Young's Literal Translation (YLT)
It can only make sense if the hair is the 'covering'. A women's
long hair is her 'covering'. Even in the Old Covenant there was
no Law requiring women to wear a fabric covering.
@@8784-l3b I think it’s because some versions say woman and some say wife ? Idk I find 1 Corinthians 11:5 confusing. I thought because it’s referring to wives it made more sense that if she doesn’t wear a head covering she dishonours her “head” which is referring to husband ?
@@8784-l3b I also want to ask if you know the answer and can help me . Could you please explain genesis 24:65 .
