Curse of a Culture: Tattoos

Old Creature vs. New Creature
Today’s Focus: Curse of a Culture: Tattoos
Scripture: Leviticus 19:28

Greetings Kingdom Citizens
I do not understand why we get tattoos when God clearly says in the scripture not to do it. But the problem is, we are ignorant to what they mean and where it comes from. Now I have told you from the past few messages that the Ancient Egyptian culture is infiltrating our nation by leaps and bounds and this part of the culture is out of control. I remember a time when a parent would think it was “hell on earth” for a child to get a tattoo, but not anymore. Let’s look and pray that we become knowledgeable on this subject and why we need to be rebuking and praying for these tattoos to come off of our people.

Tattoos came from the ancient Egyptian culture. What they would do is this: They would paint a symbol (false god symbol) on their body. This would represent the god or spirit they are carrying within them. For many of the pharaohs, they would have this black eye paint around one of their eyes and that would symbolize the god Horus, or the all-seeing eye (remember our dollar bill and past messages) of perception. Now many of the pharaohs would also carry the ankh on them. For the final time, the ankh is not the Christian cross. It is a symbol of divinity and life after death for the person carrying the symbol on them. It is a false god symbol. So these Egyptians could be carrying many gods within them based on the tattoos that were on them. Now this culture has crossed over into today’s society and I am deeply saddened by the things I see on our children, let alone our adults and it is all because we were ignorant and failed to read our bibles and get informed. Let’s deal with today’s society:

In today’s society, it is almost taboo not to get a tattoo but what they do not understand is the things that that tattoo does to you mentally. Look at the scripture, why would God tell them not to do that? Please pay attention to this! A tattoo locks your mind into a specific place in time where you will find it hard to overcome whatever happened. Ok, some child will go get a tiger, for example, and tattoo that on them and when they were doing it they may have been rebelling, angry, frustrated with someone. So now that tattoo is a constant reminder of that situation. I know a lot of people have “In memory of..” tattoos. Well why would you tattoo yourself with a temporary situation. The death of that love one is temporarily if they believed in Christ, so putting that on your body, keeps your mind locked into the death of that person every time you look at it. And finally a tattoo that is scaring me because our generation is just adopting it by leaps and bounds is the tattoo of skulls and crossbones. Do not be a fool, skull and crossbones is a symbol of death. You can’t dress it up to mean what you want it to mean, it means death. Now kids and adults, some Kingdom citizens, are walking around with death tattooed on them. This is a very sad situation but I know through Jesus Christ and some prayers we can get these marks removed from these children and if you have a tattoo, I pray that you ask God to release you from that situation in your life and remove that tattoo from the temple of the Lord. Parents, we have to take a stand today and teach our children why we do not follow the crowd. Children will ask you why but if you do not know, what’s there to stop them.
