Greetings Kingdom Citizens
I love sticky subjects but I also love the fact that the Holy Spirit will give you what to say and how to solve the problem. Now let’s get an understanding of where this truly comes from. Of course we have heard slavery, but it goes much deeper and farther back than that. Look at Jacob in Genesis, before his household could go and make an altar unto God, he told them to put away the strange gods and change their garments. Now move to verse 4! He says all the strange gods which were in their hand, and ALL THEIR EARRINGS, which were in their ears. Now why was this important because what God was going to charge to Jacob, he had to obedient and in right-position with God. So if Jacob knew that these piercings were unacceptable to God, why can’t we understand that nearly 6000 years later.

Back in Egypt (Remember, God said stay out of Egypt), men would be pierced in various ways to help them identify who they belonged to. In some cases, even a sign of the god they belonged to. But here is the flip slide to that. Pharaoh, which was a man, wore earrings to signify the people he had sex with. One earring for females, and 2 ear rings for both male and females. Now, the reason for this is to show that sex was never refused from Pharaoh when he wanted it regardless of male or female. This homosexual spirit and spirit of vanity carried over to other leaders. To name two prominent ones, Julius Caesar and Alexander the Great! So if a guy wears two ear rings back then he has shown that he is homosexual (No such thing as bisexual). Now we have looked at current ways we pierced things so let’s look at cattle. We pierce cattle as a sign of who they belonged to. Now in the days of slavery that was no different. Men were pierced as a sign that you belong to some other man. How degrading!

Today, our young men have adopted this spirit and tried to make it to mean something else. They say it is to be cool and stylish. Some just do it out of rebellion. Funny, there is a high probability that many of these young men do not have a father-figure in the home to check this problem at the door. In addition they pick up this spirit from the hip-hop and rock-n-roll cultures (both having founders that do not believe in Christ, Aliester Crowley and Afrika Bambaata, look it up!). They see their favorite artist wearing one and feel they should wear one not realizing the consequences. I remember as a young black American that a boy putting an earring in his ear was degrading, people thought you were homosexual and sad because the older people remembered the meaning of slavery when they saw it. Now much like the “n-word” the African-american culture in America has now set a double standard against its own culture. Now this spirit has crossed over into mainstream society where it is almost taboo not to have one as a man. I boys even at the age of 6 with an earring, what is wrong with our society? Fathers? If you ask these boys why did you get the earring, many of them would say either I do not know or because it was cool and a few because they were homosexual. Second, when the pastor wears the earring it says to the young men it must be ok for me to wear an earring. A shepherd leading his future heads of households to a false god, a spirit of homosexuality, a spirit of vanity. Sadly, these bishops seem not to understand that spirits are transferable. If the watchman does not blow the trumpet, then the blood of the people are on His hands!

There is a spiritual consequence for following after the gods of Egypt. Many young men start having weird feelings and emotions when they put the earrings in and they become vain (Remember, the devil was vain in heaven). Our young men, for the most part, have adopted this “thing” and because they saw someone else do it, they thought it was ok. There was no oversight or correction. Whatever happened to ear rings just being a girl thing? So, now that you understand what is going on. How do we solve the problem?

Jesus! This spirit can only be removed in the name of Jesus. In addition, the young man has to remove the earrings, because they are a stronghold for him and a symbol of the spirit that he is harboring. Through prayers, intercession, anointing and rebuking this spirit in the name of Jesus, this spirit can be removed.

For Everything You Do in the Natural World, There is A Spiritual Consequence!

Now if you can see the pictures below, these are the true pictures and not the doctored ones that this bishop had done to remove the earring out of his ear. A picture is worth a thousand words. Where are our true leaders??
