Cover Up!
When you surrendered your life to Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit began to dwell in you. He is with you always. If you left a building minutes before it collapsed, He made you leave. If you narrowly escaped an automobile accident, that was His doing.
Now, one of the reasons (there are others) that the Holy Spirit will not want to stay with you any longer is your mode of dressing. If you have been wearing cleavage-revealing, body-revealing, skimpy, or provocative clothing, it’s time to prayerfully stop, beloved. The Holy Spirit will not stay around for two reasons: First, you cannot go out dressed like that, and not make at least one person commit the sin of adultery-by-looking (Matthew 5:27-28). Making others sin is a sin on its own and detestable to God (Luke 17:1-2, Matthew 18:7). Then, more importantly, your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20). He will not dwell in a temple that is not pure.
Please cover up. Honour God with your body in your own interest, really. Let the Holy Spirit do in your life, what He is sent to do in its entirety. You cannot finish the Christian Race without Him.
Shalom!
