Many do not understand that they are a triune being—
spirit, soul and body. They have been so conscious of the
natural world they have assumed their physical bodies are
their true identity, but not so. Our physical bodies are just
our earth suits. My coat would be a good illustration of
this. I am the life of my coat. When I move, the coat moves.
If I were to die, it would be like taking my coat off because
dying is simply the laying aside of my natural body.

What I am saying is that we have majored in the minor,
which is the natural realm. We get disturbed over what we
are going to wear, what we are going to eat and what is
going to happen to us. Even preachers have emphasized
the minors. They have spent a lot of time preaching to
women about what they wear. The Bible says in 1 Peter
3:3-4 that a meek and quiet spirit is important and not the
plaiting of hair or the wearing of gold or apparel.

How women dress is a minor point. God is really talking
about the spiritual attitude of a woman and whether or
not she is trying to call attention to herself through her
dress. A woman who has a meek and quiet spirit will come
to church to worship God and to help others. She will not
come to try and show off her wardrobe.

It is true that some women are dressing to get attention
out of pride, but if you major in the spirit, you will settle
this matter with God and begin to dress to please Him.
Likewise, if you will do the same with mercy and major
in it, then the minor of God’s wrath will take care of itself.
In short, if you will concentrate on the quality of life your
spirit is living, you will have no trouble with your body.
