Let Down Your Hair

Let down your hair 

John 12:3-5

3 Then Mary took a pound of very costly oil of spikenard, anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped His feet with her hair. And the house was filled with the fragrance of the oil.



Let down your hair; Some people get nervous when people get too loud or exuberant in their praise, but not Jesus.

Remember Paul and Silas who were thrown in jail? At midnight they “let down their hair” so to speak;

The other prisoners “heard them”, Suddenly there was an earthquake!! God had heard them too!!



Acts 16:25-26 (New King James Version)

25 But at midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them. 26 Suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken; and immediately all the doors were opened and everyone’s chains were loosed.

The Bible tells us to, “make a joyful noise to the Lord” (ps. 100) Sometimes what is joyful to the Lord may not be joyful to the normal ear.

You have to have a spiritual ear to enjoy the sound of praise.

1 Corinthians 2:14

But the natural man does not receive the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness to him; nor can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
