May the peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with all the brothers and sisters in this group. I have come here to share an experience I had, my brothers and sisters. This experience happened in a dream.
A tall man appeared to me. He had light-colored hair and was very handsome. He stopped me and said, "I am going to bring you some things for you to use." First, he brought me a large glass jar filled with many things. He said, "Here, take this. All of this belongs to you. You can use it."
I began taking things out of the jar, my brothers and sisters. They were sunglasses of every style and every color. There were so many sunglasses. I started taking them out one by one, admiring how beautiful each pair was. I thought they were all lovely. But while I was standing there admiring them, a voice suddenly cried out from above me, saying, "You must not wear these things. You are a Christian. You must not wear such things. Do you understand?"
So, I gave up the jar and returned it. The man then said, "No problem. I will go and bring you something else." He came back with another glass jar. When I began taking things out of it, I found all kinds of necklaces and handmade jewelry. There were necklaces of every style imaginable. I started taking them out one by one, including necklaces with crosses. There was even one with what they call a crucifix, a cross with a little statue of Jesus attached to it.
I continued taking out the necklaces and admiring how beautiful they were. But the voice spoke again. "Do not wear these things. You are a Christian. You must not wear them." So, my brothers and sisters, I returned the jar.
After that, the man brought another jar and said, "Take this one. Everything in it belongs to you. You can use it." I began taking things out of the jar. They were kits containing all kinds of beauty products and tools. It was as though they were manicure kits with nail clippers, nail polish, and everything else you could imagine. There were also products for removing body hair. As I was taking these things out, the voice spoke again. "You must not use these things. You are a Christian. Do not use them."
My brothers and sisters, when I woke up from that dream, I understood what the experience meant to me. I understood that these things do not please God. Sunglasses, regardless of the brand or style, do not please God. Necklaces, no matter what kind they are, whether silver, gold, or handmade, do not please God. Doing our nails or painting them, even applying clear nail polish, does not please God.
The simpler we are, the more we draw God's attention to ourselves. That is what I understood through this experience.
