Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ, my dear and beloved brothers and sisters on YouTube. May God bless us today. For those who know me, my name is Missionary Natalie. Today's question is about hair removal. Is hair removal a sin? Is intimate hair removal a sin? Brothers and sisters, this video will certainly be directed more toward women than men because men generally do not face this particular concern in the same way.
We women often need this kind of information more than men do. This is certainly one of the most frequently requested videos. I receive hundreds of emails and messages every day asking me about this subject. Many times, I have felt reluctant to respond because I was preparing myself through prayer and fasting, asking God to give me the wisdom to speak about it. It is a difficult subject to discuss and many people will not accept what I have to say.
That is all right. I understand. Even pastors themselves often do not talk about this subject and many sisters are embarrassed to approach their pastors and ask questions about it. This channel was created not only to proclaim the truth but also to offer guidance to women who often have many questions and cannot find answers. Some pastors prefer not to discuss these matters because they are intimate subjects and some sisters feel too embarrassed to ask.
But first, let us read the word of the Lord. We find it in . "I know that everything God does will endure forever. Nothing can be added to it and nothing can be taken away from it. God does this so that people will fear him. Whatever is has already been and what will be has already been and God calls the past to account." Brothers and sisters, before anything else, I want to explain that I also spent a considerable amount of time fasting and praying before recording this video.
I asked God to give me the wisdom necessary to speak about this matter. You may ask, "Missionary, why did you take so long to record this video?" Sisters, the reason is that I have an allergy to body hair. Unlike most women who experience irritation from shaving with a razor, I have a reaction to the hair itself. It would reach a point where I experienced intense itching, and I would scratch my skin until it became raw.
So, what did I do? I would remove the hair and then apply ointment to help the wounds heal. I continued doing this regularly, sisters. But one day, I had a dream, a revelation. In that revelation, I was holding a very large knife and cutting the flesh of my genital area in the place where women remove their intimate hair. I was cutting myself with the knife as though I were removing hair, but instead of hair coming off, pieces of skin were coming away like slices of meat.
A hole was left in the flesh. Through this experience, I understood that God was showing me that I was sinning, and that what I was doing was not pleasing to him. That is why I did not want to answer the sisters' questions too quickly. I did not want to confuse anyone or make people believe that they were entitled to remove their hair simply because I had been doing so myself due to my allergy. So, I began praying to God about the matter.
I decided that it was better for me to abstain from these practices. What God showed me through my relationship with the Lord and in light of the scripture saying that nothing should be added or taken away was this: We should not add anything to or remove anything from our bodies, except when there is a health-related reason. If something needs to be done to your body for medical reasons, that is a different matter. If a part of the body requires medical treatment or some form of intervention, that is understandable. But as for the subject we are discussing, whether intimate hair removal or ordinary body hair removal, I believe we must be careful.
Is removing the eyebrows a sin, missionary? Yes, sisters, I believe it is. It destroys the temple of the Holy Spirit. The Bible says that God will destroy those who destroy the temple of the Holy Spirit. Some people point to my own eyebrows and accuse me of removing them. Every day I have to respond to the same comments. People say, "You remove your eyebrows." I have explained this countless times.
Sometimes I get tired of answering and I simply send people the link to my video in which I addressed that question. Sisters, after repeatedly plucking the hairs with tweezers over a long period, the hair follicles may become damaged and the hair may grow back less densely or stop growing in some areas. This is why my eyebrows no longer grow as thickly as they once did. Some fine hairs still grow, but they do not fill in the way they used to. Now, if any brothers are watching this video, remember that I am directing most of this message towards women.
A brother might ask, "If removing hair is a sin, is it also a sin to shave the beard?" Brothers, I believe you may shave your beard completely. You may also allow it to grow. However, according to my understanding, you should not shape or style the beard on your face. You should not shape it into particular designs, such as especially styled mustache or sideburns. But since this video is primarily directed towards women, let me continue speaking to the sisters.
Sisters, we have discussed cutting the hair on our heads and removing our eyebrows. But what about the small hairs above the upper lip? I have them, too. You may trim them with small scissors when they become too long. You can use small scissors in the same way you might trim the hairs in your nose or elsewhere on your body. Of course, you may trim the hair on your head, but the purpose should be to reduce its length.
The scripture says that nothing should be added or taken away. In my understanding, trimming body hair is different from removing it entirely. Hair on the head is one thing, and other body hair is another. Amen. Sisters, what about shaving the legs? Is shaving the legs a sin? Yes, I believe it is a sin to shave the legs. Why do I say this? Because you have the Holy Spirit, and the word of the Lord says in , "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a prostitute? Certainly not."
In the past, this practice was not common in the same way. According to what I understand, it began among prostitutes who removed the hair from their bodies. Later, as women began wearing shorter skirts and exposing their legs, some became embarrassed by the visible hair and began shaving their legs. That is why I believe shaving the legs is sinful.
But some sisters may say, "Missionary, the hair on my legs is very long." All right, sisters. If the hair is too long, you may trim it with small scissors to reduce its length. But you should not shave it off completely. According to what I believe God has shown me, it is better not to shave it. If the hair is very long, you may trim it with scissors to make it shorter. Trimming it may also help reduce sweating, unpleasant odor, and the feeling of heat caused by dense hair.
So, sisters, you may trim it with scissors, even quite short, but you should not pull it out by the roots. I believe that removing the hair in this way is harmful to the temple of the Holy Spirit. What about intimate hair removal, sisters? In light of what God showed me, I believe you should not remove intimate hair either. I myself had a reaction to body hair, and I used to remove it. But according to my testimony, God corrected me, and I understood that I needed to stop.
Therefore, I believe it is better not to shave intimate hair. However, sisters, you may trim it with small scissors. You may ask, "Can I use an electric hair trimmer?" If you are using it only to shorten the hair, rather than shaving everything completely smooth, I do not consider that sinful. But if you are using it to remove all the hair and leave the area completely smooth, then I advise you not to do it.
Amen. I hope this message has helped you, sisters. Glory to God. I pray that you will reflect on everything I have shared. Sisters, the time has come for us to pursue holiness and sanctification. I know this is not easy. It can be particularly difficult for married women. For unmarried women, it may be easier in some respects. That is why the word of the Lord says that an unmarried woman has greater freedom to devote herself to the things of the Lord.
When you are single, you have more freedom to organize your life according to God's will. When you are married, things can be more complicated. Nevertheless, sisters, God is perfect and he created us with care. Our bodies are his creation. If God gave us hair under our arms, on our legs, and in other parts of our bodies, there must be a purpose for it. Doctors and scientific research show that body hair serves protective functions in certain areas of the body.
Hair has a role and it serves a purpose. If God had intended us to have no hair in these places, he could have created us without it. Amen. We must understand that if God created us this way, we should learn to accept our bodies as they are. That does not mean that sisters should neglect personal hygiene or allow themselves to become untidy. No, sisters, take proper care of yourselves. Maintain your hygiene and look after your bodies, but do so in a way that, according to your convictions, does not lead you into sin or wrongdoing.
Amen. I know this video will receive a lot of criticism. As always, I delete many comments. People are entitled to their opinions and I do not delete comments simply because someone disagrees with me. However, if someone insults me or makes accusations that I believe misrepresent what I have said or contradict the message I have shared, I may remove those comments. We have freedom of expression, but I believe that freedom should not be used to offend others.
May God bless everyone in the name of Jesus. I hope this subject has now been clarified. From today onward, I do not want to keep receiving comments and emails asking me, "Missionary, is hair removal a sin? Is depilation a sin?" Sisters, you now know my position on this matter. So, in the name of Jesus, I encourage you not to engage in these practices. Amen. Remain in the peace of the Lord. May God bless you all in the name of Jesus.
