1 Cor 11:2-16 (NSRV)
I commend you because you remember me in everything and maintain the traditions just as I handed them on to you. 3But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the husband* is the head of his wife,* and God is the head of Christ. 4Any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head disgraces his head, 5but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her headit is one and the same thing as having her head shaved. 6For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil. 7For a man ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and reflection* of God; but woman is the reflection* of man. 8Indeed, man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9Neither was man created for the sake of woman, but woman for the sake of man. 10For this reason a woman ought to have a symbol of* authority on her head,* because of the angels. 11Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man or man independent of woman. 12For just as woman came from man, so man comes through woman; but all things come from God. 13Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head unveiled? 14Does not nature itself teach you that if a man wears long hair, it is degrading to him, 15but if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For her hair is given to her for a covering. 16But if anyone is disposed to be contentiouswe have no such custom, nor do the churches of God.
My church has always wanted me to talk about the 'head veil'. Women at my church are all demanded to wear a head veil when worship and pray. I never saw any church like ours, but I really don't know if it's the life of Christ or the head veil or both at work that since I came home pray, it worked for me. I put it off because I didn't find the right Bible version, just a few days ago, quite ocassionally, I met this vet interpreter and the day before yesterday he started asking me what English Bible version I was using (I spoke and sang in my tongues that morning). Then I found out his Bible better than the ones I used, which were KJV, NLT. And my Holy Spirit is really comfortable with it.
I hadn't been to any American churches that demanded female to wear a head veil, but I really believe it is good for you. Please read these verses if you haven't yet carefully addressed it and may the Holy Spirit lead you and do the mysterious work in you. I really hope that pastors to rise up in the Spirit to speak up and defend for the gospel and care for our sisters in Christ.
