Makeup and Artificial Hair are Falsehood
African/Black women look so beautiful with their natural Afro hair, but Satan has lied to most of us our whole lives that our hair is a problem and is bad, and we need to change it to look like Caucasian and Asian hair. Not knowing all the while that when we say such negative things and do such things like changing our hair textures/colors and even putting on fake hair and other humans hair, we are mocking God, slapping him in the face, and correcting him, telling him he didn’t do a good job and made a mistake when he made us African. As if God did not know what he was doing. “Woe to you who strives with your Maker“.
The insults have gone further now; women (even born-again women) have to get fake nails, fake eyelashes, fake skin and hair color, fake eyebrows, fake lips, fake pupils, fake breasts, fake buttocks, and some even fake bodies through plastic surgery. All this is a great mockery before God.
The Bible says no liar or anyone who practices falsehood will enter heaven. You may want to call it legalism and mock and insult those who warn you, but the truth is, you cannot enter heaven with a fake and false image. God does not recognize that fake image you have created. Lying in appearance is also a lie, like all others.
“Outside are the dogs and sorcerers and the sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and everyone who loves and practices FALSEHOOD.” Revelation 22:15
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all LIARS, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8
You may speak in tongues and have a great anointing, but heaven you cannot enter with those abominations and the insult to your creator, who now looks at you and sees Satan’s image when he sees your fake face and body parts. (Anointing is not what takes us to heaven, but holiness and obedience).
We have all been guilty of this in our ignorance, me included, and so this is not a message of self-righteousness or condemnation, because I was chief of sinners. But it is a message of warning in love. God rebukes those he loves, and a wise son heeds correction.
God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good
Repent for trying to correct God, being dissatisfied with and insulting how he made you; stop using fake and artificial adornments (the name says it all: FAKE!), and be who God made you to be.
He made you exactly the way you are for his glory. He made you and said, “It is good” (Genesis 1:31), and now you say, “No, it is not good; you gave me bad hair, bad eyelashes, bad lips, and bad nails, so I will replace them with mine.”
“And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.” Genesis 1:26,31
Can’t you see it is a great insult to replace God’s image with a fake one? God made you in his image and likeness (Genesis 1:26), and you are unhappy with that and take on a fake image fashioned after the god, standards, and fashions of this world.
Hmmm, repent while you have time. Don’t love vanity more than God, or heaven will only be a word you once heard. God shall say, “Depart, I never knew you,” because, in the real sense, he will not recognize you because your body features are FAKE.
If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy
In the process of using these fake things, many have damaged their skin, natural hair, and scalp; gotten cancer; and some died undergoing plastic surgery. All these things we shall account before God because our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, and the Bible says whoever destroys God’s temple, God will destroy.
“If anyone destroys God’s temple, GOD WILL DESTROY; for God’s temple is HOLY, and you are that temple.” 1 Corinthians 3:17
GOD’S TEMPLE IS HOLY. That other temple you are creating with artificial body parts and adornments is unholy, defiled, and an offense to God; a great offense. It is an evil invention inspired by the father of lies, Satan himself.
“Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, proud, boasters, INVENTORS OF EVIL THINGS, disobedient to parents.” Romans 1:30
“Woe to him who strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him who forms it, ‘What are you making?’ O shall your handiwork say, ‘He has no hands’? Woe to him who says to his father, ‘What are you begetting?’ Or to the woman, ‘What have you brought forth?” Isaiah 45:9-10

Are you born again? Do you have eternal life?
Have you given your life to Jesus Christ to be your Lord and Savior? He loves us so much that he, our creator, left heaven and came to earth, dying for us on the cross, taking our sins upon him so that we may be forgiven and receive his righteousness. He conquered death by rising from the dead and made a way for us who were dead in sin to be reconciled back to the Father (God). What’s more, he has prepared a wonderful home for us in heaven, where those who love him and obey him will spend eternity with him. Learn more here about how to be born again and have eternal life after this brief life on earth.
