I am definitely praying, brother!

I'm not sure exactly what happened and everything, but if I can help in saying this: In the church I go to, those on the leadership and those who work on the altar, are required to dress a certain way. Generally guys should have dress shirts and pants, and wear a tie (or bolo, or something like that), and women . . . Hmm, they're basically just asked not to dress in a revealing way, but somewhat dressy. The reason for it is somewhat to show others to see the work of God as something to respect. THAT, and also the area I live is very hostile toward Christianity. The church I go to, is just outside the area I live. However, the Christians who live in these areas, there is a strong presence of divination and rebellion is something seen very much among Christians here. So the issue of the dress code is also a way of keeping the rebellious attitude that tends to show up, in line.

HOWEVER, the dress code is only for those who are in leadership. Otherwise, all that's really needful is they have clothes on Anyone can be used of God and work for Him, so really the ones having the requirements are those who are somewhat specifically to be in leadership every service and so forth, as teachers, on the worship team, those who work on the altar, etc. In the end it's really a matter of the spirit, not really the clothes. At least--this is the measure we've found we have to take for the area we are in.

I'm not sure how it was presented to you, or if you were just outright told you can't do it because of how your dressed or something . . . because it would indeed be wrong, BUT, again I don't know (I don't want to cause any ill feelings).

But brother, I'll also be praying that the Holy Spirit does give discernment as to everything going on, and also the words to speak if He would have you say something!

And I pray that He holds you and gives you a peace, and get's rid of any you stress or discomfort in your working for God and your walk with Him that might've been brought on by the brother or sister!
