God bless you all. This testimony touched my heart, because I used to be the one who was witnessed to by your all's lives. I just wanted to tell you a few short testimonies about how the sisters holy apparel witnessed to me in ways preaching never could.

First off, I was introduced to this Message by my boyfriend. I went to church with him a few times, but never heard Bro. Branham speak against women wearing worldly clothes (amazing as that is, I believe it just wasn't the right time for me to hear it yet). However, I saw how the sisters dressed and behaved themselves and it condemned me.

I remember being at a Dairy Queen wearing a very immodest shirt. While waiting to meet a friend, a family walked in. Although it was the middle of summer, all the men and boys were wearing blue jean pants, and their mother was wearing a long skirt. I was soooo ashamed at my clothes, but when I glanced their way again and my eyes caught that sister's eyes, she gave me the sweetest smile. It brings tears to my eyes just thinking about it. It was as if I was looking into Christ's eyes, and although I was still in the wrong He was showing me kindness and love.

Another time I was convicted by the sister's dress was when I was at Walmart with my mom. Again, dressed shamefully and being pretty disrespectful to my mother, I turned to walk down an isle, but I ran into a sister with her two young daughters. They were laughing and having a good time, but their skirts and long hair was what really convicted me. Again, a smile was cast my way, but I couldn't continue down the isle as I'd intended because I was so ashamed of the way I was presenting myself. I decided to detour around them instead.

The most amazing point of all this is that once I surrendered my life to the Lord, at that following years Easter open-house I was able to meet and speak with one of those sister's that had had such an influence on me. Also, I regularly attend church with the other one. Both of these sisters had no idea how much of an impact their sweet smiles and their modest dress had had on me. God works in mysterious ways!
