Abi, the Holy Ghost gives you power with God. Your uncut hair gives you power with the angels. You have a double dose of power that men can't possibly have!!! Aren't you the lucky one!!

Scripture already promises that "the angel of the Lord camps around those who fear the Lord". That's all the promise and all the angelic protection I need. Hence my User Title ........ ~An Angel Stands By Me~

I don't need to be calling on angels when I have the Almighty God of the Universe to call on. Angels are subservient to Him! Hello! I have power with and because of God!
Now here is another goof ball idea we humans commanding angels????? Some folk have toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much time on their hands and honestly need some practical Bible studies. Magic hair-commanding angels what is next???????????

I heard A.A. Allen years ago misapply the text "Command ye me the works of mine hands" and preached about folks commanding God. The I heard some Pentecostals trying to preach this foolishness. They think God is the butler.

This comment simply isn't true. It is obvious from her post that she believes her uncut hair gives her special favor and/or powers with God. You'd have to be reading with your eyes closed not to see that. Come on. When you close your eyes to the facts, you discredit yourself in any discussion. If you can't have an honest discussion, your opinions just won't really hold water. Being honest means acknowledging when your opponents actually have a point.

The following quote alone shows that she believes her hair is something more than just a sign of her obedience to God:

"My hair is a veil of protection for me and my family. My hair is my glory and power with the angels. "
Thank you. I was going to make the same comments, but decided it wasn't worth my time.

I know a well-known evangelist recently turned pastor who believes that any Holy Ghost filled person has the power to command angels. I don't remember why he believes that.

Typical answer from someone who doesn't have scripture. Thanks for being honest enough to say so. Really. Most just pretend they have a big secret they can't take the time to share.

If I were to mention his name, everyone here would know him! I heard him with my own ears, so it's not hearsay on my part.
