Seven Reasons to Believe the Seven Divine Revelations

I would like to give you seven reasons to believe the Seven Divine Revelations on Godly Attire and Adornment that I have written about previously.  In that article, I highlighted seven people who had received divine revelations about the need to keep our bodies holy, and since then I have found seven more divine revelations about this, which I will link to at the end.  In many of these revelations, people died and went to hell and heaven.  The Lord Jesus gave them a message for mankind regarding His standard and sent them back to the earth to proclaim it.

Sometimes, those who are critical of these testimonies will say that such messages are inconsistent with Scripture, or that they seem to be adding to Scripture.  If these revelations were inconsistent with Scripture, I can assure you I would not be giving them any attention.  That's why I want to prove to you their Scriptural basis.  So please get your Bible out of bring up the browser for your favorite online Bible, and let's get started!

1.    The Lord has answered the request of the rich man of old in hell
The Lord has answered the request of the rich man of old in hell (Lk 16:27-28), even though Abraham initially refused his request.

Some critics cite the fact that when the rich man in hell asked Abraham to send Lazarus back to earth to warn his brothers about hell, so he would not come to that place of torment, “Abraham replied, ‘They have Moses and the Prophets; let them listen to them.’

“‘No, father Abraham,’ he said, ‘but if someone from the dead goes to them, they will repent.’

“He said to him, ‘If they do not listen to Moses and the Prophets, they will not be convinced even if someone rises from the dead.’”

Well, the Lord has decided to go ahead and answer the request of the rich man in hell, because this is the evil generation that will not believe unless they see such a thing.  You might wonder how could God send someone back from the dead, or why He would decide to answer a prayer that was initially refused.  So let me demonstrate from the Bible that is not inconsistent with His Word to do so:

• He initially refused the Syro-Phoenecian woman, but later granted her request (Mk 7:25-30).
• He was initially going to end Hezekiah’s life, but then heard his cry and added another fifteen years to his life (2 Ki 20:1-6).
• He was going to destroy Nineveh in 40 days, but then heard their cry of repentance and did not destroy the city (Jonah 3:4-5).
• He was going to destroy all of the Israelites, then start over through the line of Moses, creating a holy people for His Name. But after Moses prayed, God changed His mind (Exo 32:9-14).
• In addition to all the biblical examples of God changing his mind and answering prayer, there are numerous examples of God raising the dead: Lazarus the brother of Martha and Mary, Jairus’ daughter, Eutychus, Tabitha, the widow’s son, and in the Old Testament, there was also the Shunammite’s son that Elisha raised from the dead. Why should any of you consider it incredible that God raises the dead? (Ac 26:8)
• He even answered the prayer of the Legion of demons to go into the pigs (Mk 5:12-13)

Just because God answers a request doesn’t mean you’re going to make heaven.  God causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous (Matt 5:45).  He even answers the requests of demons sometimes, and they certainly aren't going to heaven!  And in this case, He answered the request of a wicked man in hell, although it was made to Abraham. As Matthew Henry states in his commentary: "Abraham in this description represents Christ, for to him all judgment is committed, and it is his mind that Abraham here speaks."

2.    He said He’d pour out His Spirit on all mankind
He said He’d pour out His Spirit on all mankind, and we would prophesy, dream dreams, and see visions (Joel 2:28). That outpouring began on the Day of Pentecost and continues today with ever increasing glory (Ac 2:17-18).

Jesus said, “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”  (Jn 16:12-15)

This means that the Lord did not tell us during His earthly ministry everything He had to say.  The disciples could not bear it all at that time.  He had much more to say to us.  And He indicated two ways He would say those things to us: 1) One was the Spirit of Truth, who guides us into all Truth, and makes known to us what He receives from the Lord Jesus.  2) The other way He would say those things to us was through appearances of the Lord Jesus Himself to us.  “Jesus went on to say, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.’”  (Jn 16:16). He promised that He would disappear and reappear to them and us.  This included His death, burial, and resurrection, and the appearances He made to them during the forty days afterward.  But it also includes His appearances to His disciples since then and up until today.  This is the second way He reveals things to us that He did not explicitly say to the disciples during His earthly ministry.

3.    We are commanded not to despise prophetic utterances
We are commanded not to quench the Spirit or despise prophetic utterances (1Th 5:19-20).  We are instructed in Scripture to test them all, and correctly discern the things of the spirit.  The saints are to pass judgment on the utterance (1 Cor 14:29), and all things be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses (Mt 18:16).  We are instructed to test the fruit and verify the good character of the messenger (Mt 7:17-19; 12:33).  We are to search the Scriptures to ensure that the message is consistent with the Word (Ac 17:11). If the fruit (character) and message are consistent with the Word, then we should receive it as from the Lord.  We are to hold on to what is good, reject every kind of evil (1Th 5:21-22). Dreams, visions, revelations, signs, and wonders always confirm the Word, but do not add to it.  (Mar 16:20).

4.    The Israelites had the Scriptures, but were disobeying
 The Israelites had the Scriptures, but were not obeying (Heb 3:16-19; 4:2,6; Psa 81:8-12; 1Co 10:1-6; Jud 1:5), so God sent prophets to them to warn them.  Those are the ways of God, and He does not change (Mal 3:6; Heb 13:8).  The people of God have consistently persecuted the prophets He sends to warn them (Matthew 5:12; Luke 11:49; Acts 7:52).  Please see my article, A Warning to the Nay Sayers.

5.    Beware of blaspheming the Holy Spirit
Beware of blaspheming the Holy Spirit, by calling evil something that is truly done by the power of the Holy Spirit!  That is an eternal sin (Mk 3:29).  Please see my article, Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

6.    God has always had people who prophesied
Even in the Old Testament, before Pentecost, God always had people who prophesied. He had Moses, Samuel, David, Elijah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Daniel, Joel, Amos, Hosea, Malachi, and many others. In fact, some people prophesied, who were not even prophets (1Sa. 10:11; 19:20,21,24). God even spoke through a donkey (Nu 22:28-30)!

Now that He has poured out His Spirit (Ac 2:1-3,17-18), we certainly do not have less of the Spirit of God than they enjoyed during the Old Covenant.  The Lord is going to do mysterious things before He comes. Because His time is short, He will use a madman, He will use a prostitute, He will even use a child that doesn't have any teeth in his mouth to testify of His coming before He comes.

7.  The Bible teaches us to keep our bodies holy
The Bible clearly and explicitly teaches the need to keep our bodies holy.

"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it." (1 Thes 5:23-24)

"And do not go on presenting the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; but present yourselves to God as those alive from the dead, and your members as instruments of righteousness to God." (Rom 6:13)

"Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship." (Rom 12:1)

"Therefore consider the members of your earthly body as dead to immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and greed, which amounts to idolatry. For it is because of these things that the wrath of God will come upon the sons of disobedience." (Col 3:5-6)

"Food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food, but God will do away with both of them. Yet the body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body...Flee immorality. Every other sin that a man commits is outside the body, but the immoral man sins against his own body. Or do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body." (1Co 6:13,18-20)

Putting it all Together
I hope that these seven reasons have proven to you from the Scriptures that this is the Lord's message to the Church.  These seven people I highlighted in my article Godly Attire and Adornment -- Seven Divine Revelations are speaking for the Lord.  In fact, there are at least seven other divine revelations that I know of, in which the Lord has spoken the same message.  I also recommend reading those testimonies in my articles, James Agboola Revelation of Heaven and Hell, Visitation of Jesus to Samuel Oghenetega, Ezekiel Moses Testimony of Heaven and Hell, and Michael Shigaba's Encounter with Jesus.

If this is an area where you know you have not been walking in obedience to God, then please repent and amend your ways.  Change your life, so that you don't perish in hell.  The Lord Jesus still loves you!  But His standard for heaven is high, and He is not changing it for anybody.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Visitation of Jesus to Samuel Oghenetega

Samuel Oghenetega

A fourteen-year old boy in Nigeria, named Samuel "Tega" Oghenetega Emmanuel, had an encounter in which Jesus visited with him over a period of days while he was in the hospital.  It happened between June 30 and around July 4, 2013.  The prevailing theme throughout the messages the Lord gave to Samuel was one of warning to prepare for the rapture before Jesus comes, by repenting and living a holy, righteous life in obedience to the Lord.  

It was very difficult for me to understand Samuel due to his African dialect, but I was able to take some notes of some excerpts that seemed significant to me.  There is much more to this message than just these excerpts, and I would not want to misquote the Lord, so please watch the video for yourself. There are several different ones available online, but I will leave a link at the end of this post to the particular video I watched.

From what I could gather at the beginning of his testimony, Samuel's father is a pastor.  And Samuel had recently broken his right arm in a soccer (African "football") match.  Then he was subsequently beaten on the head with a cane, and experienced seizures that led to his hospitalization.  In the hospital room, the Lord would appear to him at the foot of his bed and speak with him.  The Lord would point his hand at the wall, and a white screen would appear like an open book.  The Lord then wrote on the screen without using his hand the words he was speaking to Samuel , and he instructed Samuel to write those words in his own exercise note booklet. The words the boy was writing were not human words, but divine words from the Lord, Who also showed him numerous illustrations of what He was saying.  At times, demons would walk out onto the screen and stand there, so that Samuel could draw a diagram of them in his exercise book. The diagrams he drew were not something that one could just sit down and draw naturally, but ones that he was obviously enabled supernaturally to draw. In fact, he even drew them with an ink pen, which is more difficult than with a pencil.

These encounters would go on for a period of time until Samuel was too exhausted to continue.  Then the Lord would let him rest, and he would fall off to sleep immediately.  He would usually awake very hungry, wanting to eat some food.  The the Lord would appear again, and continue giving him more messages for humanity, and some messages for his parents or certain ministers. The boy was also taken to hell by Jesus Christ in order to see the horrors that people are experiencing there.

The news of this began to spread until crowds of people were coming to the hospital to see this and hear.  Eventually at the end of three or four days, the doctor confirmed the boy did not have brain damage, and was amazed at the things he was writing in his book.  Then Samuel's father requested he be discharged to home, and the doctor consented.  Samuel's parents were led to bring the boy to stay with a sister in their church for a few days initially after his discharge. The visitations continued and neither Samuel nor that sister got much sleep.

His mother testified about her son's experience saying that she initially became afraid for him, but the Lord gave Samuel a written prophetic message for her that brought peace to her heart. She recalls, "I said, 'What? Lord, what is happening? Is my son demon-possessed? What is this?' Then what gave me a prophet's appointment and peace in my heart...He wrote, 'Mrs. Prosper Willbome, don't worry, don't panic, don't be afraid. I am with your son. I will use him to depopulate hell and to populate heaven. I send My angel Michael and his hosts to fight for him.'"

I should also mentioned that when the Lord first appeared to him, He was a gentle man, crying, wearing white garments stained with blood. He had blood in the palms of His hands, on his legs, and even on His side. He was calling Samuel to come.

Most of the messages you will read below are the Lord Jesus speaking in the first person to Samuel, except where otherwise noted.  The Lord would begin each short message by telling Samuel to warn those committing a particular sin that He would describe.  Then the Lord would tell him what to say to those people to warn them, and he would usually end by stating the consequences for those who did not repent and obey him.  Now here are my notes of some excerpts that I transcribed, and I ask that you please be understanding, since they are rather random, although in some cases I have grouped similar topics together under one heading.

Satan will use fashion to capture millions to hell. Do not put on anything artificial like gold and silver, wristwatches*, artificial teeth*, etc." Editor's note: If you have any questions about this, then please read my post called Godly Attire and Adornment -- Seven Divine Revelations. The Lord has spoken this same message to several others beside Samuel. 

Warning to those watching football matches
"Warn people spending their time watching (sports) and rejecting the Word. It is only on earth that there is mercy."  Samuel saw a boy in hell who had spent his time on earth watching sports.

Warning to Those Who Dance
At 53:00 in the video, he said the Lord told him, "Those who dance that does not glorify me or my Father will be crushed like and egg and cast into hell."

Prepare for the rapture

"There shall be wars and earthquakes before I come. I will heal the sick. Keep on praising me and I will rise with my flaming sword to fight."

Godly Attire
"A man should not put on the attire of a woman, and a woman should not put on the attire of a man or harlot: silver, gold, attachments*, changing of skin, painting of eyes and mouth, or fixing of any artificial thing (Prov 7:1-27). The Lord has spoken; now obey. I will curse them that disobey."

Sections of hell
Samuel saw some of the sections of hell.  There were separate sections for those who lived in worldliness, covetousness, fighting, stealing, liars, idolatry, and compromising. These are some of the sections in hell.

"My chosen ministers are not preaching my true Word. They are compromising. Tell them to change or else hell is awaiting them."

Worldly church
"The world is in my house and I am going to crush it like an egg in my hand."  The Lord [was] there with the world in his hand and He was closing His hand to crush it like an egg, but Samuel began to cry for mercy. The Lord opened his hand once again.

Warning to Cultists
Tell those in cults, "Repent and I will be their Father."

"Whosoever shall neglect the work or commission given to him or her, I shall pay him or her with my wrath, and my wrath shall not depart from his or her household. He who loveth his soul shall do it, but he who hateth his soul, I shall fill his belly with my fiery wrath forever in hell."

"I did not create hell for humanity. I created hell for satan and the fallen angels. But humanity has made My Blood to be in vain."

Handling the sheep
"Be careful the way you handle My sheep so that My wrath will not come upon you. But make Me happy, and I will clothe you with fine linen in my Father’s house."

The Lion of Judah shall prevail
"I and the devil are like two lions fighting to defend their territory. But I, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, I shall prevail. And the earth shall shake in the time of battle."

Those that ask for mercy, I shall show mercy, and I will wipe away their tears forever."

Pastors
"Tell Andy Adiri to repent and change and preach holiness and righteousness to my sheep or else I will crush him through hell and through its demons, and to renounce that title that he is answering. Whosoever is afraid of man is not fit for my purpose. 1 Co 10:12."

Miracle and Breakthrough Services
"Tell those holding programs of miracles, breakthrough, prosperity, and other men-pleasers and desires to stop and preach salvation and save their souls from hell. I will bless them according to My will. Good things are awaiting them that do the will of my Father."

"Therefore, go unto the four corners of the earth and preach salvation."

Warning to parents about raising children
"Beware of the way you train your children and be watchful of whom you hand them over to. I have destined them for my purpose, but because of the callousness of the caretakers, many of them are destroyed. Be watchful and be prepared like a soldier ready for battle. Stand firm and be strong and hold your peace and I will fight for you."

Giving
"Every man will be paid according to the cup he uses to measure to one another. Like I said before, many shall be deceived unto condemnation. Give and it shall be given unto you."

Sincere Repentance
"Not only to say, 'I repent,' but [to depart] from the acts."

"Whosoever says a righteous man is foolish, he himself is foolish."

"You have not repented from your heart. Let the man that loveth his soul be sober and repent. But a foolish man hateth his own soul unto condemnation."

Obey and keep my commandments
"If you want to be like me, therefore obey and keep my commandments and also to make my Kingdom."

Endureth to the end
"Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but he that endureth to the end the same shall be great in my Father’s house."

Wake up, sleepers!
"Arise from thy sleeping. For the Lord Jesus is calling you. A man that sleepeth is not fit for my works. If thou sleepest, there shall be no mercy until the day of judgment."

Warning to those worried about many things
"Be not troubled with many things like Martha. Peace be with you. Every man to his bed." This was at a time when Samuel was exhausted and asked the Lord for a chance to sleep.

"A man who is like Martha cannot fit into my agenda. There’s a place I love, and a time I am wroth. If thou desire to run with my message, you must not look back. Remember, he that puts his hand to the plow and looks back is not fit for my purpose."

Stand firm and be strong
"Let every man stand firm with his shield and his sword and be prepared for battle again the beast and the darts he has shot. Let every man be strong to stand against the darts of satan and the dragon."

"Satan and the dragon are preparing to devour millions of souls. Be strong for me and I will be with you."

Warning to those who rise above their own measure
"Let not man rise above his measure or else I shall prune him down totally. I have spoken. Now so shall it be."

Many are falling away
"Many of my very elect are falling and they have disappointed me. Therefore shall my wrath be kindled against them 100-fold."  Jesus then bowed his head and was shaking his head.

Godly Dress
"Tell those ministers who are saying, 'Come as you are,' and do not teach my sheep on how they should dress, my wrath shall be kindled against them. Tell them who please themselves and men to repent or else I shall cast them into the outer lake of fire."

Judgment is coming, and is already here
"My judgment is already upon the earth, so repent and change."

"After death is judgment. When the carcass is there the eagle is present. Therefore so shall the eagles feed on the flesh of those that did not repent and obey me."

Why have you rejected Me?
"Oh, oh, humanity, I love you. But why have you rejected Me and wandered after the beast and after the dragon. Remember, like I said, in the last days, many shall be deceived unto condemnation. Therefore why hath my very elect forsaken me? Shall they make me wroth always and not to please me? Oh, oh, my chosen elect have (has) fallen, and I shall raise up those that ask for my help."

The demon that causes accidents
The Lord showed him, Beelzebuk, who is the demon that causes accidents and killings. Samuel drew a diagram of this demon, which will have one-on-one combat with archangel Michael in the last days.

"You believers, learn to pray before (and cover yourself in) the journey, and dress as a Christian and let your character be as a Christian character, because satan has sent his blood-sucking demons to bring blood for him to use. Therefore beware and pray earnestly, because Beelzebuk has already fired darts to cause accidents. Therefore let my Name be praised. It is by mercy that thou art alive to this day."

Learn to forgive and not to accuse
"If anyone offends you, learn to forgive and not to accuse. Don’t be like the accuser of the brethren, the devil."

"Let every man be strong…lest they should fall."

"Let every man mind his cause and don’t mind the cause of his fellow human being, because every man has his own cause on the judgment day."

Be mindful of the kind of words you use
"Let every man be mindful of the kind of words that come out of your mouth."

"I have warned you not to use negative words on anybody…the soul that sinneth shall surely die."

Pray for the salvation of your soul and other souls
"If you want me to save others, keep on praying for them and I shall arise with my flaming sword. And I and Michael the archangel and his hosts shall war and fight and shall deliver them."

"A man that is afraid of his soul for my sake, his soul shall be saved. He that laugheth at a soul that repents is foolish. He that asks for mercy shall receive mercy. Let every man pray for the salvation of his soul, and of the souls of others. I am the God of orderliness. If I did not love humanity, would I have come and died? Would not humanity be doomed forever? Upon my love, humanity sees it as nothing."

"Do you know what it takes for me to shed my Blood and pay the price for your soul?"

"Those who ask for sanctification shall I give sanctification. If it is not from your heart, I shall not deliver."

Barack Obama
"Look at Barack Obama. Many of my ministers made the mistake by praying him in to win the election. He has deceived my ministers that he’s a Christian, and many of my ministers followed him because of his material things…Now he is obeying you? Only that my ministers have done, it’s enough for me to send them to hell, but because of my love, I am still waiting for them to repent. Yet they don’t want to repent."

At 2:06:29 in the video: "Obama is not a human being. He’s a demon. Now my people are suffering over there in America. Now he has given an order that gays, homosexuals, and lesbians should be given their rights. I will destroy him and the ministers that agree with him. So let every man plead his case before me and I shall forgive they that ask forgiveness. They that ask forgiveness from their heart shall I forgive."

"T.D. Jakes is included. He should also preach holiness and righteousness to my sheep. And he should change from his worldliness."

“Morris Cerullo is included.”

"Tell T.B Joshua to repent from his worldliness and the worldliness of his members. And he should preach salvation, holiness, and righteousness to my sheep. Out of the whole congregation, there is no one qualified for heaven. I have spoken."

The Lord gave Samuel the following Scriptures for these ministers in connection with the above warning.  Please read them carefully, and help get this warning to them, and other ministers like them: Is 52:1-15; 56:1-12; 61:1-12; 63:1-19; 65:1-25; Jer 7:1-29; 6:1-30; 5:1-31; 2:1-37; 11:1-23; 16:1-13; 19:1-15; Col 3:1-25; Jer 25:15-38; Ez 21:1-32; Mt 5:1-48; 10:1-42; Ex 21:36; 22:1-15. After reading these, I can see the Lord is angry, and has given a very big reading assignment with all these chapters.  Yet there is a very clear message from the Lord in these passages.

Carnivals
"I hate carnivals with a passionate hatred."

"Tell those named 'Achan' to change their name. (Jos 7:1-26), because it is a rebellious name."

Warning about art that does not glorify God
"Tell those who draw any diagram or creature that does not glorify me, I shall cast them into the lake of fire. In fact, nobody should even draw, because some of these artists are demons, and they are (cartoonists?) used for satan. Therefore, repent and beware."

Warning to parents about cartoons
"Beware of the kind of cartoons your children watch, because they are demons capturing souls for satan."

Warning to those who are proud
"Tell those who are proud and look down on others as poor men that they should repent and change because every man are one in my Father’s house."

Be careful how you handle the Lord's sheep
"Tell my pastors that I am angry with them because of the way they handle my sheep. Therefore I will send them into hell. Oh, oh, oh, my blood I shed is in vain to these wicked generations of vipers. I love them and I want to save them, but they see it as nothing."

Jesus rebukes satan to his face
Samuel said: “Then from 11:00 to 11:54 PM, He gave me the diagram of Lucifer himself.  And this is what he’s saying: ‘No! Humanity cannot be saved from my hand.  I am Lucifer! No, no, no!  Linda did her own damage.  Ezekiel Moses did his own.  Michael Sambo did his own.  Abraham Yakubu did his own.  And…No, no, no! This little boy, Tega Samuel Immanuel wants to cause (cost) me more damage.  Beelzebok and Jozebok, prepare the army for battle.  This must not happen.  Prepare for battle. No, no! I was cast out from heaven.  Now I am in my kingdom, which is hell fire. What have I done to deserve this damage?  It was only humanity that chose hell. No, no!  I shall be prepared for battle. I am Lucifer, and no one can take away humanity from my hand!’

“So after that, Jesus Christ now answered. Jesus said with anger (at that time his eyes were red), ‘I, the Lord of hosts, rebuke you, satan! Did you shed your blood for their souls? You wicked and unfaithful servant of My Father’s house! Because you want to overthrow My Father, and you did not succeed, then you are cast away.  Why are you now complaining?  I shall kill you with my flaming sword of fire.  In our last battle I will, at the last day of My Father’s judgment. And My Father shall be seated in heaven, and watch I and you and your armies fighting, and I shall prevail over thee, and the name of My Father shall be glorified.’”

Then the Lord said to Samuel, “Be not afraid, son, I am with thee, and Lucifer shall not overcome thee, because I have chosen you.”

Samuel says, “After I finished drawing the diagram of Lucifer, I fainted.They could not carry me. I became as heavy as sand.”

Closing prayer point
“Oh, Lord, let nothing deprive me of heaven!”

Please prayerfully listen to his testimony, and use the Testimony Review Process adopted by this blog, as you decide for yourself whether the Lord has spoken to him.  For issues and concerns, each person must confirm with the Lord, whether something is valid or not.

Repent for every sin you have committed, and cry out to Jesus Christ for mercy for your soul. Trust Him to save you, and walk in the Spirit every step of the way, abiding in Christ every moment of the day.

*Usually, the term hair "attachments" refers to wigs, false hair, or any artificial accessory that is woven into or clipped onto the hair.  The issue is that such attachments change the hair unnaturally.  While simple hair clips used for the purpose of tying back the hair should not be a problem, they are a type of artificial attachment; some are worldly while others aren't, so it depends on the type and the purpose.  Likewise, regarding wristwatches, the Lord is against any kind of showy watch that you wear for fashion like jewelry, or as a status symbol.  Regarding the artificial teeth, this probably refers to gold teeth. It's only a sin when you use artificial things for fashion, not health reasons. It's the same thing as using an artificial arm or leg, which is not a sin. Each person should pray earnestly and seek the Lord's guidance about what they wear, whether it pleases Him or not, and be careful not to do anything to change the image of God, in which we were created naturally.

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"

Godly Attire and Adornment -- Seven Divine Revelations

The Lord has taken many people to heaven and hell, and given them an end-time message for the Church.  I would like to highlight seven of them, whom the Lord specifically spoke to about godly apparel and adornment.  Some of these people were violating God’s standards in this area, and were shocked to find out the Truth.

I want to be very clear that what I have written below are merely excerpts from their revelations.  In order to properly judge or discern each revelation, I strongly recommend you listen to each one in its entirety.  I also want to say that these revelations were not exclusively about godly attire and adornment.  Many other things are addressed in their revelations, too.  Here are the seven revelations for you to listen to and prayerfully discern for yourself:

James Agboola from Nigeria 
A former Muslim, named James Agboola, had a revelation of hell, in which the Lord spoke to him about many things and gave him warnings for the church. One of the things the Lord warned about was adorning our bodies with artificial things. Here is his testimony about that from the video.

And the voice now begin to speak to me in great pain. Jesus Christ speak to me in sadness. He was not happy. He speak to me with a sorrowful heart...He said, “James, do you hear the cry of people in hell?” I said, “Yes, sir.” He said, “Many of them are those who called themselves so-called ‘Christians’ like you. While on earth they claimed holiness and righteousness. But because of ‘little, little, little, little things, small, small, small things’, ‘it doesn’t matter.’”

He said, “That is why many of them are in hell. And I hear them crying that now, they believe. They want to change. But it’s too late. It is too late.” He said, “James, when I created man, I created man in my own image. And my glory was upon him.” He said, “But my enemy, the devil, now added a lot of packaging, packaging of the glory I gave man, packaging of earring, necklace, attachments, all of them. God says, “My eye cannot behold it once anything artificial...”



He said, “James, when I created women, did I put hole in their ear?” I said, “No.” He said, “How come I now saw them with hole in their ears?” He said, “James, when I created man, every part of their body that is supposed to have hole, did I not put hole there?” I said, “Yes.”  He said, “How come they now begin to put hole by themselves?” He said, “And once anything artificial has been added, no matter what it is, my face cannot look at them. My face cannot behold them.”

See James Agboola Revelation of Heaven and Hell.

Adelaida de Carrillo from Bolivia
This woman was a nominal Christian up until the Lord took her to heaven and hell.  In heaven she was given a very long skirt to wear.  Her legs were totally covered.  In hell she said she saw a woman of God who was there for dying her gray hair black.  Adelaida says the Lord is against the women of God who wear make-up on their face.  This is at 38:36 in the video. Jesus said, “I’m only pleased with the natural look on my saints. You don’t need make-up to look beautiful to anyone. Those things don’t please Me.  If anyone loves the world, he is an enemy of God.” She urged her listeners to tell others to stop using make-up. She said to ask the Lord, “What are the things I’m doing that don’t please you.  The Lord is totally against women that use jewelry."

And the Lord did not just warn her about godly attire and adornment.  He also warned about matters of the heart and tongue. She learned that gossip can make you lose you salvation. She said that talking about your pastors and neighbors can make you lose your salvation. She urged her listeners to, "Tell people they need to give their life to Jesus."  You really should watch the entire video to hear it directly from her as she told it.

Olga from Russia
She was a backslidden woman who returned to church, and sang in the choir, but continued to wear makeup and pants and jewelry.  She was taken to the edge of hell to see where she was going. satan had lots of jewelry, many earrings, necklaces, makeup, etc. Olga had all these things, too.  She never imagined satan would have these. She saw satan giving out these adornments to Christians, who were still alive on earth. When satan came to her, he said that he had wanted her soul for a long time. She said he would never get her soul, but he replied, “The Word of God says: Any kind of man’s clothing on a woman is an abomination to God.”  She said she had heard this many times before from Christian brothers and sisters, including her father, who was a very good and kind man.  Her father had asked her many times not to wear makeup and pants. But she listened to another voice on earth, who said, “It’s not sin. It’s not sin to have adornments. Wear pants. The pastor’s wife does. If it’s ok for others, it’s ok for you, too. There is a sister who sings in the choir and wears pants, so it’s not sin.” Now satan was rebuking her from the Word, and she knew she was guilty of everything. She didn’t think the Lord would give mercy to her.

Listen to her testimony on video and read it here.

She also said, “My dear sisters…when you come before the Lord, please cover your heads. How can you stay in God’s presence with your heads uncovered?  And you’re not ashamed? Don’t defend yourselves by saying, ‘The Lord says this is only for wives. It’s not for me.’ Sisters, when you come before God, you must cover your heads.”

She continued, “This is why I plead with you, my dear sisters, when you come before God, dress yourself in a godly dress. Don’t dress yourself in this world’s dress. I don’t want to be harsh with you. I am just pleading with you, because if the Lord comes to you and searches your heart, you know it will be found empty. Before you came to the meetings, you didn’t pray. Instead you spent a long time in front of the mirror. Then you come to church and you want blessings? Repent today!”

She said that after being gone for 3 hours, “I came back to my house at 4 AM. I had no rest until 6 AM after I had carried everything out from my house that wasn’t godly and wasn’t pleasing to God.  Makeup and everything had to go. I had thought that it would only take me two minutes to take everything out and repent.  I tried to clean everything out in only a few minutes, but it took me two hours.  I took everything out and I didn’t feel sorry about any of those possessions.”

Claire Andoun from Cameroon
Claire Andoun Atongo is a former prostitute who has become a new creation in Christ. She says the Lord has been speaking to her about the dirtiness in His Church (I urge you to watch her other video here). He's been showing her that there is a strange power that has come into the church, because this unclean spirit has been invited in by the women of God.  And the pastors will not preach against it.  This strange power is the Queen of the Coast, who leads the sisters in the Church to dress immodestly.



She said, “The Lord is angry about the way women of the last days are dressing.  They are dressed like the world.  They don’t know the difference between a child of God and non-believer, and no pastor is talking about it.  That’s why the Lord is sending me to warn women of the last days. This message is not for everybody. This message is for people, who are really determined to make heaven.”

She had a prophetic dream, in which the Lord said, “My Church is dirty!”  Also see it here.

I have spoken with a godly brother, named Yves Nahishakiye, who knows sister Claire well, and knew her before she came to Christ.  He vouched for her godly character.  I have also spoken with Claire myself on a number of occasions and prayed with her.  I have heard her share her salvation testimony, as well as her testimonies of revelations the Lord has given her. [Note: During the three years since this article was first posted, I have gotten to know her better and we have become friends]. I am convinced she is a genuine woman of God, who seeks with all her heart to please the Lord.

On May 10, 2017, about four years after I initially posted this article, Claire went home to be with the Lord. For more about her death and the remarkable circumstances that surrounded it, please see my articles The Home Going of Sister Claire Andoun Atongo, and Revelation of Sister Claire Andoun in Heaven.

Sister Ayodele Sawyerr from Sierre Leone
The Lord showed sister Ayodele Sawyerr a woman of God for whom she had great regard.  Regarding this woman, sister Ayo said, "When she stood to minister the Word of God, you feel you can get the Word of God. He said, 'She is my daughter. But look at the way she appears in front of people. Look at the hair attachments, the short skirts; the code of dressing is wrong to God.  She's preaching the Word, but the dressing, the [hair] attachments...' Then the Lord said, 'Go and tell her I sent you, and that if she does not repent and remove these things she is putting on -- these attachments, this makeup, these things -- she will not make it.'" Sister Ayo was shocked, because she would not have reached that conclusion on her own!



Afterward the Lord showed her about two ladies, who were preparing to go to a church service (see 49:00 in video).  The older one was dressed modestly and never put on anything.  She came to the younger one's door and beckoned her to come.  But the younger one just said, "Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait."  And Jesus said to Ayo, "I want you to look." The Lord said to Ayo as she watched this on the screen, "Look!"  All of a sudden the lady came out, and what Ayo saw was that the makeup was so thick that she looked like a Jezebel.  And the blouse she put on was like an empty bra.  You could see the hair attachments.  You could see the way the lady dressed. Sister Ayo said, "She just looked like the Queen of the Coast."

She said the Lord was angry.  His countenance changed.  His tone of talking changed in that particular area.  He said, "Look! They have idolized these things. With all those things, they can no longer serve Me. Go and tell them, My daughter, 'If anyone be a woman of God, no matter the kind of congregation.  If she is putting on these things, she will not make it. She will go to hell. They have taken these things more than Me. With all these things, women can't praise Me, women can't worship Me, women can't seek Me with all these things."  Sister Ayo was shocked, and said, "God!"

Then He showed her the churches where people used to worship God, so she could see the kind of clothing the people wear.  Sister Ayo said, "Some of them are just half naked."  The Lord said, "I want you to look, so that you can explain exactly to the women."  She said there are more women than men in hell.  She says, "Most of the women because of their dressing, it will take them to hell.  They think that if they don't dress like this, they will not be attractive to men, and will not find a husband.  Seek ye first!  When you put God first in your life, He knows what you need."

The Lord showed her the ways the brothers dressed in the Church. They are wearing their trousers down low on their hips, exposing their hind cleavage. They are exposing their chests with open shirts, so you can see their chests and the hair on their chests.  She said, "They are not making it to heaven."  It looked as if the anointing was with them when they worshiped.  Some of them were speaking in tongues, some were rolling, some were falling down, some were shouting as if the anointing was there. But the Lord said that this was not His anointing, because He does not enter into such churches.  He said, "I am not in their midst. I do not go into churches like this -- people dressed half naked, exposing their bodies." He said, "Your body is the temple of God. You should live a blameless and holy life."  Then she said, "I realized that churches today that say they felt the power of God; because of the way they dress, Jesus does not enter into those type of churches. The anointing they receive is not from God."

You can read my more complete notes on her testimony at my post, Sister Ayo - a Revelation of Heaven and Hell

Brother Michael Thomas Sambo
A godly brother, whom I have had the privilege of becoming friends with, died three times in two days in 2003. There were two thousand witnesses to this incident, who witnessed all that happened with him. During that time he experienced heaven and hell.

He said that in hell he saw a member of a Pentecostal church, who vowed not to forgive her pastor. He states:  When we arrived to hell, a young lady saw me afar off and shouted, "Oh, have you come to help me out of this place?" I could not respond to her question. Then she began to tell me the story of her life. She said, "I was a member of a Pentecostal Church. My pastor told me that wearing trousers, as a lady, was not a sin against God. He also said perming or jerry curling my hair, bleaching my skin, using lipsticks, plaiting my hair with attachments, were never sins against God. But the very day I arrived here I discovered that my pastor had deceived me. Can I ever forgive this man? Now it is too late for me. Can I ever leave this place?" While she talked, hell roared and she was swallowed up by its waves and tides. I did not see her again. She said these things she indulged herself in prevented her from truly serving God and have condemned her to hell; Genesis 35:1-5; Jeremiah 4:30; Proverbs 7:10; Romans 1:21-26; 1Peter 3:3-5. Deuteronomy 22:5. He begins speaking at 4:31 in the video below:



I strongly recommend you read my notes on brother Michael's testimony in my post, Michael Thomas Sambo's Revelation of Heaven and Hell.  I have spoken with Michael on a number of occasions and interviewed him on my radio program. He has also been to my home and eaten dinner with us. I am convinced he is a genuine man of God, who seeks with all his heart to please the Lord.

I would like to add one brief note about relaxing the hair.  This is something that applies only to people with naturally curly hair, like the African hair type, which is typically very strong with naturally tight curls.  There is a treatment that relaxes this type of hair in an unnatural way.

Brother Ezekiel Moses

Ezekiel Moses

As I wrote about more fully in a separate article, Ezekiel Moses also died and saw heaven and hell. The Lord showed this man the condition of the church on earth and gave him a message. He testified:

"And behold, we were looking down into the world. And Jesus said, "Can you see what is going on in the world? I want to tell you, My people! I want to show you what is going on!  In the Church, especially My children, the kind of lives they are living on earth.'"

"And Jesus Christ said, 'I will show you three parts.  People have forgotten that (Scripture that says) Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, love for the Father is not in them.  They are forgetting that I told them, I am not of the world, so likewise they are not of the world.'  And when Jesus Christ was saying all this, he started shedding tears, because of you and me."

"And He said, 'Let me show you.' And He showed me the women, the men, and the ministers of God.  Can you see my children, the way they are dressing, coming to My Father's house. See those women.  They say they are clean, they are born again, their name is written in the Book of Life, they are claiming they are coming to heaven, but yet let me show you what is stopping them from coming and entering My Father's kingdom.' And Jesus Christ said, 'Can you see these women, these men, and ministers of God (in three parts).  And He said, 'Look at the women! You see them? See these people that are perming their hair? With the (inaudible word), attachments*, (inaudible word), earrings in their ears, (he gestures toward his chest, indicating exposure of the chest), (putting chains on) their necks**, and things like that?  Can you see them with the trousers, and mini-skirts...some painting their fingers, some painting their lips, and etc., etc.? Some bleach their body.' And Jesus said, 'Tell them! That none of them...if My Father asks the archangels to blow the trumpets, none of them will enter My Father's kingdom.'"

"Then He said, 'Look at the men. Can you see them?  The way they are dressing?  With the (inaudible words), all kinds of style in their hair (he gestures toward his head and mentions some unnatural hairdos)?  (inaudible words).  Some with the knickerbockers (men's or boys' baggy, knee-length trousers), some loosen their (shirt) buttons*, shave (their chests), and are walking like (rascals) like that, coming to the house of God?' And Jesus said, 'I tell you, none of them will enter My Father's kingdom.'"

He spoke about women who wear trousers to do government jobs like climbing trees and so forth.  He said, "No heaven for you."  I think he said something like, "Why not ask the men (to do that job)?" He said that some pastors will argue that we must obey the government.  But he asked, "Are we supposed to obey the government or obey God?"

"All you brothers with earrings, or (punk) hair, (other hairdos), no heaven! And to wrap it up, you brothers and sisters, (with) no perming, no earrings, etc., dressing in holiness, and you think you are going to heaven, but you have lust.  What is going on between you and your husband? Some of those here are doing things that are wrong."

The Lord also said something to him, which is not mentioned in this video.  He said to brother Ezekiel, "Can a woman pray without covering her hair?  Think about it."  That is essentially the same question the Holy Spirit asked through the apostle Paul, who wrote: "Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?" (1 Co 11:13).  Ezekiel says the Lord specifically told him women must cover their hair when they pray, and honor God, as it says in 1 Corinthians 11:3-11. For more on this, see my article Is a Woman's Hair Her Head Covering?. You may also watch the video of Ezekiel Moses' testimony online and read my article for more detail.

A Word to the Skeptic
If you are skeptical about these testimonies, and you are not sure they are biblical, then please listen to this warning:

Scriptures
First, I ask you to consider the following Scriptures:

"'I have the right to do anything,' you say—but not everything is beneficial. 'I have the right to do anything'—but not everything is constructive. 1 Co 10:23

"So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don’t fall!" 1 Co 10:12

"Do you not know that your bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore honor God with your bodies." 1 Co 6:19-20

"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear." (1Pe 3:3-6)

"Likewise, I want women to adorn themselves with proper clothing, modestly and discreetly, not with braided hair and gold or pearls or costly garments, but rather by means of good works, as is proper for women making a claim to godliness." (1Ti 2:9-10)

"A woman shall not wear man's clothing, nor shall a man put on a woman's clothing; for whoever does these things is an abomination to the LORD your God." (Deu 22:5)

"For this is the will of God, your sanctification; that is, that you abstain from sexual immorality; that each of you know how to possess his own vessel in sanctification and honor, not in lustful passion, like the Gentiles who do not know God...For God did not call us to be impure, but to live a holy life. Therefore, anyone who rejects this instruction does not reject a human being but God, the very God who gives you his Holy Spirit." (1 Thes 4:3-5,7-8)

"May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it." (1 Thes 5:23-24)

"Little children, guard yourselves from idols." (1Jo 5:21; cf. 1 Co 10:14)

"Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter.  If you say, 'But we knew nothing about this,' does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? Does not he who guards your life know it? Will he not repay everyone according to what they have done?" (Pro 24:11-12)

"Whoever says to the guilty, 'You are innocent,' will be cursed by peoples and denounced by nations. But it will go well with those who convict the guilty, and rich blessing will come on them." (Pro 24:24)

"My son, do not reject the discipline of the LORD Or loathe His reproof." (Pro 3:11)

Other compelling reasons
Now that we have reviewed a few Scriptures, I ask you to please consider these other reasons:

1. The entire Word of God, not just the New Testament, is our basis for our lives and our beliefs about godly attire and adornment.

2. These testimonies about godly attire and adornment confirm the message of holiness, purity, and modesty that is already written in God’s Word throughout the entire Bible.

3. People are independently receiving the same message about godly attire and adornment from various countries around the world, including Bolivia, Zambia, Nigeria, Sierre Leone, and Ukraine.  

4. Both men and women are receiving this message.  

5. It is not coming from any single church, denomination, or organization with an agenda.  

6. Many of the people getting this message were themselves in violation of it before they got it. 

7. There are many more than just these seven people, who have received this message.  Now there are at least eight, if you count Samuel Oghenetega and Michael Shigaba.

8. When I consider the number of witnesses involved in all of these testimonies, including the confirmations of their testimonies, I think there may be at least twenty witnesses.  Even if you cut that in half, it is still ten or twelve witnesses. Even if we just look at the testimony of Michael Sambo, who died three times in two days, there were two thousand witnesses to this incident, who witnessed all that happened with him. Scripture says every matter must be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.  But this was so important to the Lord that we not miss this message that He has given us all these witnesses and confirmations, which is much more than Scripture requires. 

9. I have tested the fruit of these messengers to see whether it is good or evil.  In many cases, I’ve spoken to these people myself and or spoken to their pastors, parents, children, or others who have verified their story and/or their character.  

10. We use a Testimony Review Process on this blog that requires readers to listen to the testimonies of these people in their entirety, prayerfully consider the message, search the Scriptures to see if these things are true, test the fruit of the messengers, and discern the things of the spirit, before they leave a critical comment.  Although we have had tens of thousands of page views to these articles, we have not received a critical comment that was able to disprove their message from Scripture, or provide evidence to prove these witnesses are not telling the truth.  Every reader has had the same opportunity we have to check on the sources and do the research. Many of our readers live in the same country where these things occurred.  They would have been able to expose to us if these people are not genuine, or if there was anything in their lives that is ungodly.  Nobody has been able to adequately do so, according to the rules of our review process.

11. The Lord has indicated that he is coming soon, and He is going to do mysterious things before He comes.  Because His time is short, He will use a madman, He will use a prostitute, He will even use a child that doesn't have any teeth in his mouth to testify of His coming before He comes. That is why we must correctly discern the things of the Spirit.

12. We must be careful not to blaspheme against the Holy Spirit, which includes neglecting, ignoring, or totally opposing the gift of tongues, prophecy, and interpreting tongues. It includes aggressively opposing the gifts that have or are manifested in different ways. The spectrum of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit is very wide.  At one end of the spectrum are those who incorrectly make allegations, based on their prejudices and humanistic views. At the other end are those who judge and condemn others who operate in the gifts, as well as those who directly speak evil of the manifestations of the Holy Spirit. Therefore there is the risk of progressing into the sin of blaspheming against the Holy Spirit.  For more on this, please see my post, Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

That leaves us without any excuse if we reject this message. God still loves us, but His standard for heaven is high and He is not going to lower it for anyone. We are still saved by grace through faith, and everyone who makes heaven makes it by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, not by being perfect. But grace is not a license to sin and do what you know is displeasing to the Lord.  For more on this, please see my post, Seven Reasons to Believe the Seven Divine Revelations.

Putting it All Together
This is the report these people have given of what they experienced.  After listening to these testimonies, and checking on some of the people who gave them, it seems to me at the time of this writing that they are genuine. 

This is a very serious message, which the Lord in His mercy is giving to warn the Church.  And it is not just for the women, it's for the men, too.  We must all dress properly, modestly, and discreetly, not using jewels or expensive cloths to adorn ourselves, but the inward beauty of a meek and gentle spirit.  The Word of God does tell us that, no matter what you believe about these testimonies. Our love and good works should adorn us.

He is calling us to pursue holiness. For without holiness, no man shall see God.  And holiness is not just something inward in our spirit.  God wants our bodies to resemble holiness, too. So there must be an outward holiness.

Lastly, it is important to note that God sees the thoughts and motives of the heart, so most importantly our hearts must be pure. And only He has the "complete picture," or the complete set of data regarding each individual, in order to properly judge your soul. So check your thoughts about apparel and adornment, as well as your motives, and your actions.  Make sure they all line up with the character of Christ, the holiness of God, and the explicit instructions in the Word of God about the Christian dress code.

Any changes you make should be out of total love for Jesus, understanding Who He is and who you are in Him. Therefore, let your attitude be, "Lord, I love You with all I am, and by the power of the Holy Spirit I’ll do whatever it takes to please You."

Please prayerfully watch and review these testimonies in their entirety, and use the Testimony Review Process adopted by this blog, as you decide for yourself whether the Lord has spoken to these people.  For issues and concerns, each person must confirm with the Lord, whether something is valid or not. For more information on our position, please see Disclaimers.

If anyone is not convinced after these seven divine revelations, I also encourage you to read Visitation of Jesus to Samuel Oghenetaga, who had a similar message from the Lord about godly attire and adornment. 

This article originally included a testimony by Marguerite O. Amure about how she died and saw heaven and hell. However, she has now publicly apologized for lying and says not only did she not die, but she had no revelation of heaven or hell. She also had no message from the Lord. Please see my article called Marguerite O/ Amure - "I Lied." It is very sad indeed.

For a special treat, I invite you to read my daughter's poem Beauty Unfading. You may also access my complete blog directory at "Writing for the Master."  There you will find many articles of mine about the need for inward godly character, such as the following ones:

Holy Living in a Perverted World	Seeing Jesus, Loving Him, Character and Glory	Avoid Becoming a Corrupted Christian
Is Obedience Optional?	Costly Grace	Pressing on Toward the Goal
The Cost of Discipleship	Obedience by the Spirit	The Obedience of Faith
Walking in the Perfect Will of God	Righteous Deeds and White Robes	Doing What is Right

Do You Want to Know Him?
If you want to know Jesus personally, you can. It all begins when you repent and believe in Jesus.  Do you know what God's Word, the Bible says?

“Jesus came into Galilee, preaching the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand; repent and believe in the gospel.’” (Mar 1:14b-15).  He preached that we must repent and believe.

Please see my explanation of this in my post called "Do You Want to Know Jesus?"
