Why a godly woman should NEVER wear a head covering!

This article will probably stir up a lot of opposition,
but I feel it is very important that I write it.
I believe this article is from the Lord and from the very heart of God
and is supported by Scripture.
So, I will simply list some of the reasons why a godly woman
should never wear a head covering!
1. The first reason is that this teaching is based on a lack of revelation and not on the Word of God.
2. It is based on what people believe is the Bible, but in actuality, it is what the Corinthians wrote Paul and the reason they wrote this to the Apostle is because the Judaizers in Corinth were trying to put the Body in Corinth back under the law.
3. Before we can approach the only Bible passage, we must first look at the main Bible verse in the book of 1 Corinthians, which is 1 Cor. 7:1.
“Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: It is good for a man not to touch a woman.” This Scripture makes it very clear that from this Bible verse onward, this book reveals the many places where the Corinthians were writing their spiritual father regarding questions that were plaguing them.
Now, concerning the THINGS WHEREOF YOU WROTE TO ME.
If we do not have revelation, WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY THINK THAT THIS IS PAUL UNDER THE ANOINTING OF God that is writing the Corinthians. Absolutely not!!
Another passage that is definitely not Paul writing, but it is the Corinthians writing to him is found in 1 Corinthians 14: 34-36
34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.35 And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
What they are wondering about is: Should we let the women keep silent in the churches? Because they are commanded to be under obedience as also says the law?
And if they want to learn anything- they must go to their husband at home.
Why? Because it is a SHAME FOR YOU TO SPEAK IF YOU ARE CREATED BY GOD as a woman!
Now, there are so many problems with teaching this as if it was from the Lord.
Let me mention some of them please:
a. first problem is the word for churches is ecclesia and this word clearly means people that are chosen by God to make judicial decisions in society.
It has nothing to do with meeting in a building.
b. Second, Nowhere does it say in the law that women are commanded to be under obedience: unless you are referring to the oral law of the Jews,
which had an extreme bias towards women.
c. Next, The Word is clear- there is only ONE teacher and it is
not the husband.
It is the Holy Spirit!!!
Next, it says your husband. This definitely implies that he can be any kind of a man; as long as he is the husband of the woman. He might be an atheist, agnostic, wicked abominable man, a drunkard, a hater of God, completely devoid of any spiritual sense or anything else.
Next, the reason that this woman must go to her husband at home is because she was created by Father God as a woman and not as a man!! And since it is a shame for a woman to speak in a church, she must suffer the consequence of how God made her.
Lastly, if she speaks she must endure the shame that comes with a woman speaking in church! So, the apostle Paul gave his answer in the next verse:
36 What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?
Obviously, Paul did not agree with the men and he answered with a strong rebuke.
What? Did the Word come out from you or to you only?
Now, lets read 1 Cor 11: 4-16
“Every man praying or prophesying, having his head covered, dishonoureth his head.
5 But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head: for that is even all one as if she were shaven.
6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered.
7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.
8 For the man is not of the woman: but the woman of the man.
9 Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
10 For this cause ought the woman to have power on her head because of the angels.
11 Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman, neither the woman without the man, in the Lord.
12 For as the woman is of the man, even so is the man also by the woman; but all things of God.
13 Judge in yourselves: is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered?
14 Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him?
15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering.
16 But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God.
Let me make it real clear that Paul was probably the main advocate of the fact
in the New Creation that Christ is all and there is NO male and NO female!
Lets also remember that the Bible does not contradict itself ever because if it did- this would make God a double minded Being.
If it appears that the Bible is contradicting itself- there must be another explanation.
Ok, verse 4 and 5 says, if a man prays or prohesieth with his head uncovered-
he dishonors his head. But, if a woman prays or prophesieth with her head uncovered,
then she dishonors her head. This is a clear distinction between a man and a woman.
Verse 6 says if a woman does not cover her head, then let her shave her entire head off. This seems to be a very hard way to refer to a beloved daughter- wouldn’t you say?
Verse 9 says that the woman was created because the man needed her. God said it is not good for a man to be alone. I will make him a Ezer Kenegdo.
Translated as help meet. The main word is Ezer. This word that God used to describe the one essential need of a man is used almost entirely in reference of GOD himself as the HELP and STRENGTH and Protector of his people. Wow!
This one word that God chose to describe the role of a woman is a word that describes the role of God for his people. What a high honor that the Father is giving to his daughters.
So, since the woman is needed by the man- she must have authority over her head. This has nothing to do with wearing a head covering ON her head, but instead authority OVER her head.
This tremendous authority enables her to command in the name of Jesus, speak the WORD over her husband, Speak the prophetic word and to decree things over her husband and to release the power of the blood of Jesus over her husband, etc.
And now the angels will come and fulfill their ministry.
What are these godlike, brilliant beings waiting for?
Are they so ignorant that they are waiting to see if a woman has a piece of garment on her head and therefore, they will then know that this woman with a head covering is submitted to her husband ?
If this was true- then you would have to throw out the hundreds of Scriptures that teach God always looks at the heart and not the outward appearances.
No, what the angels are waiting for is an Ezer to take her place
and so fulfill her WONDERFUL CALLING as the one main NEED of her husband.
It is NOT good for a man to be without his Ezer Kenegdo.
Once she takes her rightful and powerful place , especially in Christ- now the angels can come and minister to the needs of her husband. Angels cannot do anything that they desire, even though they are sent to minister to those that will inherit salvation.
But, when they hear the word of command or the Word of God spoken through the mouth of an Ezer Kenegdo- now they can come and perform their ministry.
For this cause, she MUST have authority over her head.
Verse 13 says, Judge in yourselves is it comely that a woman pray to God uncovered? This sentence can be a plain sentence or it can be a question? The translators chose to make it a question. But if God made it a sentence. It would then read, “ It is comely for woman to pray to God uncovered. This would totally change the meaning.
My question to all of my readers is: what is wrong with a beloved daughter running into the presence of her amazing, kind and wonderful father just as she is?
Dirty, needy, uncovered, beaten, bruised or wounded?
Remember all of the mothers bringing their children to Jesus- can you imagine all of them being covered if they were girls? I can imagine them very dirty from playing in the dirt, messy, unkept and being just like little children are. And I can imagine Jesus grabbing them real tightly with his strong arms and loving and kissing them.
Remember, this is referring to a NEW COVENANT, NEW CREATION,
daughter of father God. Hebrews says, we are to come boldly with tremendous courage into the presence of God.
Verse 14 says does not nature even teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a shame to him? Now imagine that you are living in the time of Paul- did the men have short hair? I believe that history would affirm that men in the time of Jesus had long hair!
Can you picture Jesus with a NICE SHORT HAIRCUT? VERSE 15-“ and if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given to her for a covering.”
Another question that I would like to ask my dear reader.
If a woman’s hair is given to her by God as a covering, then why would
she want to put another object over the God given covering and the glory she already has?
Every woman that I have prayed for had to be restored in the areas of glory and authority. When a woman chooses to cover her hair, she is covering her true glory. It must be restored back to her and then she has chosen to give away her authority as a child of God. This also must be restored back to her.
Lastly, verse 16 tells us Paul’s response to the Corinthians- "And if a man seems to be contentious or argumentative- WE have NO SUCH CUSTOM, neither do THE CHURCHES OF GOD”.
What custom is Paul referring to? It can only be one custom-
the custom they were wondering about, which is to cover the woman’s head. At the time of Paul, there was no such custom and so surely today there remains no such custom of covering your head if you are a woman.
One final thought- If the doctrine of covering your head was from the father God-
why do religious cultures that abuse, dominate, murder and hate so readily accept this teaching? How is this possible?
Now, if it was a demonic doctrine- then it would make perfect sense how a religious culture full of hate, no remorse for murdering innocent victims, full of control and manipulation could totally embrace this teaching.
Song of Songs 4:12 reveals the condition of many of God’s daughters- “A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.”
This beloved woman is a garden enclosed and a fountain all closed up because of the way she has been made to feel about herself.
Her beautiful fragrances have not been allowed to flow out to the world. But, the true voice of God to his beloved daughters can be summed up in the Song of Songs 2:14, ”O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.”
Dear woman of God; do not cover your face and do not be silent.
It is a great and glorious thing to be a part of the family of God
and to be a major member of his precious and beloved body. The very Body of Christ on earth or the new humanity, where Christ is all and in all!
NO male and no female and no Jew and no Greek and no poor person and no rich person.
There are no things that make us different from each other in the Father’s eyes and this is why Jesus said that we must love our neighbor as our very self.
Nothing that makes us different. Doctrines divide and the pure love of the father unites! I have personally prayed for hundreds of people that were connected with the head covering and every single one that received this Biblical teaching had major deliverance.-
They had to be released from things like spirits, the deep fear of speaking, being fearful of using their will and exercising their own opinion , a false persona, a deep self-hatred, emotional trauma and many more things.
My dear brothers and sisters, I do not write this article with any hatred, criticism or self-righteousness, but with the compassion of God the Father for all of his children.
Many millions of people have suffered severely due to a false
understanding of his pure and loving heart and this false understanding of the Father
has resulted in wrong doctrines and destructive tendencies
in the hearts of his children worldwide.
There is one very evil attitude that has infiltrated the churches and this is called misogyny. The damage that it has done is incomprehensible and the reason that it is so effective is the almost total ignorance in Christianity worldwide regarding this theme.
