Attire Helps When Making an Impact on a Foe

Colors have meaning, from red to black, there are reasons why fashionistas wear certain colors to various celebrity events and why many job seekers show up with more conservative colors on interviews.  If you have ever been on a job interview or interviewed someone for a position, the type of clothing and accessories one wears will make a statement about this person in addition to what he or she says.  So when facing a foe in a board room or even on the street, your attire will help you spread whatever message you are trying to convey i.e.) power, fear, crazy, intelligent, etc.

Choose your attire wisely.  You don't want to send a message of anger toward an enemy by wearing bright reds when you really want to show love.  Instead, you would consider a shade of red less bold or maybe a color that communicates peace.  A ruby color might remind you of God's divine protection cloaked in the blood of Jesus.  Depending on your knowledge of the spiritual meaning behind colors, what makes you feel good or not, and the message you are trying to convey to others, all plays a part in choosing a wise color to wear in any situation.  Take a moment to learn more about biblical color meanings here.

When accessorizing your wardrobe, be sure you know the history of popular so-called Christian symbols or those that are considered spiritual--not all mean what you might have been told to think.  Some are nothing more than relics from idol worshippers passed down from one generation to the next.  Learn more about a piece of jewelry, a design on a belt, a bracelet, ring, a cross design, a fish symbol, the peace sign, and other similar things, before you wear it.  You definitely don't want to promote a different gospel in settings that don't subscribe to your belief; otherwise your enemy will look at you as nothing more than a hypocrite.
