The
Positive
Clothes
Story
Who
ever heard of clothes that are blessed in prayer?
Now,
YOU
have!
Up
until now maybe only monk’s robes were blessed in prayer. Each
individual shirt is packed with a special printed prayer and EVERY
individual shirt will be blessed by the Positive Christianity prayer
team for the wearer.
We also pray that the shirt becomes a blessing to all those that see
it too. We pray that it facilitates and attracts communication that
leads to lifelong friendship.
More
than clothing,
it is an individual statement of who you are, so that others can
understand you better.
The
Bible says, in Proverbs 31:25, “Strength
and dignity are her
clothing,
And she smiles at the future!”
The
Positive
Christianity
lifestyle celebrates life.
As
a gift, or for yourself. Pronounces – a connected, positive
lifestyle blessed in prayer. You are a powerful person with a
positive attitude, positive actions and reactions. A faith-filled
conviction that you do not walk alone is your cornerstone. You are
connected. The good life is for sharing. One God, many separate
paths, we do not divide ourselves – we come together in our
common spirituality.
Escaping the old
routine – leaving the ordinary behind.
Enjoying the moment – smiling at the
future.

Why
Positive
Clothes?
The
number one adult problem is loneliness.
For
years, I have prayed for a way to spiritually help people overcome
the seeming isolation. Many people feel like individual islands,
alone, in icy seas of separation. This is NOT true, we all need one
another – YOU are needed by others, as much as you need them.
We all need to feel loved, and to give love, for it is our main
purpose in living the Christian lifestyle.
Fifteen
years ago, when I was a minister of a large church, I reached out to
hug an elderly woman after the service. When I hugged her she
collapsed in my arms. I took her aside, thinking that my hug had
somehow offended her, and I apologized to her. What she said to me,
has burned in my memory for years, she said, "No honey, I have
been a widow for 21 years, and that was the first time in over twenty
years that I have been touched by another human being."
I
wondered how this could be, because we live in such a crowded society
today. Even our church services that Easter morning had over a
thousand people in attendance.
She
said, “I'm a nice person, but I'm very lonely. How do I tell
people that I would be a good friend to them, and that they don't
have to be afraid of me?” And then in all her yearly wisdom,
she said, “We all walk around afraid. That's why we never
approach others, even though it's what we need the most.”
Society
used to be different. We used to sit on our front porches at night
and communicate with our neighbors, and others passing by. Now, as a
society, we relate more to computers, and television sets, than we do
to strangers.
We
have it ingrained in us from an early age to be afraid of strangers.
This might be true in perhaps one in a thousand times, BUT it is not
true 999 times out of a thousand.
Some
of the best friends that you will ever have in your life are people
you have not yet met.
If
you're single,
your soul mate may now be a stranger.
There
are wonderful people out there that need you even more than you need
them. They are right now praying to meet you, just as you are
praying to meet them.
I
have heard the statement repeated many times, by all ages of adults,
from 20 to past 90, “I am so lonely. I am a nice person, why
won't people talk to me?" People have also commented to me, "I
could be standing next to a possible best friend for life and we
might not ever find each other because we're staring out in space
trying not to make eye contact. We have both been imprisoned by the
belief that it's not safe to make idle conversation."
The
single person says, "I'm a good person, I would make someone a
wonderful wife/husband. How do I meet positive people without going
to some bar? How do I let them know that I'm available in a safe
way?"
With
the invention of the elevator 100 years ago, that compacted a lot of
people into a very small space, there was a phenomenon that happened
in society that I call “elevator mentality.” You can
have 25 people on an elevator, and not one makes eye contact. No one
talks to each other even though they're crammed next to the
individuals standing so close, and everyone stares in a different
direction in the deafening silence. They have tried adding Muzak to
ease the tension but that is not the answer.
How
do you urge people to communicate in more meaningful ways?
How
will others know it's okay to approach you?
If
you're single how will you find each other?
How
would he, or she, know you’re single?
Positive
Christianity Prayer CD "The Prayer for Finding the Perfect
Soulmate” builds a spiritual love emanating forth from the
listener. Over 15,000 people have prayed using this hour-long CD.
Many, over the years, have commented that they need something more to
break the ice, because even though they have changed, others around
them are still afraid to talk to them. Many have commented, “How
do we let people know I am approachable and open to new friendship?”
For
years, I have prayed for the answer. And the answer came.
The
approachability philosophy:
People
have to let other people know that it's okay to approach them. I
have been told a thousand times in counseling by men that they are
afraid to approach women because they do not want to convey the wrong
message. Sadly, this is not just a hesitation, but rather a complete
putting on the brakes towards what could be a wonderful lifelong
relationship. How do you know that a person is single? How do you
know that a person is open to friendship? I've had people say to me
that they would rather live single than look like a fool. I think
that is sad. Our clothing ensures that no one will look like a fool
they try talking to you.
Our
Bible teaches in Job 12:18, “He takes off chains that the
oppressors put on and puts
on
a
new
garment.”
Over
time I talked with people that discovered something that I was
looking for.
I met a woman that was surrounded constantly by friends. She, and
her friends, were laughing in a restaurant, and having a good time.
When I saw the T-shirt she was wearing I asked her about it. It
simply said, "I'm a friendly person—talk to me."
When
I saw this, it made me smile. It also made me introduce myself to the
lady. She told me that she used to be a lonely person. She found it
very hard to meet people, and when she did meet people it was just
with surface, casual conversation. She said that she made her T-shirt
herself, and she jokingly said, "It pays to advertise! Before I
did this I was shy."
I
agreed with her about surface, casual conversation, what I call
Auto-response conversation. Here's an example of Auto-response
conversation: “How are you today?” “Fine.”
“Nice day isn't?” “Yes, sure hope the weather
holds.” This is not communication it is an auto-response. Two
tape recorders could do as good, or better. A relationship is a
relating-ship. It is two people relating to each other with
communication, communication, communication.
Over
the years, I have taught the seven second theory at my seminars of
going beyond casual conversation to greater depth—it only takes
a couple seconds more, but it will only work if you can get past the
fear factor in both of you. Friendship is like a seed that has to be
planted in good soil, and then it will grow over time and become
strong. Fear will cause the seed of potential friendship to fall
upon rocky soil, and like the Bible says, the seed will just wither
and die.
Our
Bible states, in Job 38:14, “Your world is changed like clay
under the seal; And all things stand
out like those
of
a garment.”
Scott
Ginsberg of Portland, Oregon, was interviewed in USA Today, and on
the television program 20/20.
He is the guy that always wears the name tag, "Hello, my name
is Scott." He says that positive real communication between him
and others went up 100% when he started to constantly wear a name
tag. He said, “Approachability is a two-way street. Nice
always wins.”
I
thought to myself, “He is on to something that needs to be
developed.”
After
prayer, meeting the lady, seeing Scott on television, talking to many
other successful and now non-lonely people, and
the inspiration of God—
Came
an idea for shirts, that
are more than just shirts.

We
pray that the shirts will create conditions where you are a stranger
but once. We pray that you will walk in to businesses and be welcomed
like a member of the family. People will be so glad to see you and
talk with you.
Everybody
wants – to be known, to be wanted, and to be welcome. Now
people will feel and see that in you, when they are in your presence.
Others
are waiting, and longing to give the same back to others – for
it is where happiness is found.
It
is more than just apparel, it is attitude!
People
don't fall in love with you – they fall in love with the way
THEY FEEL when they are with you.
Prayer
Blessed Clothing: It is our prayer that the person becomes what the
shirt identifies them to be when they are wearing it. We pray that it
shows in body language and in facial expression. We have enclosed a
special prayer to be said by the wearer.
DRESS
FOR SUCCESS IN 2008
It
is common knowledge that we are known, (and judged), by what we wear.
The success of logo clothing, up till now, has been to identify the
wearer with the successful company in the belief that they will
appear more like the people promoting the logo brand—like Nike,
and Harley. The philosophy behind this is—people like to
identify with winning companies, and associated lifestyles.
What
if the logo identified
the wearer herself/himself
as a person now
living a successful lifestyle and attitude?
People
want to be identified with winners.
YOU
WILL BE SHOWING THE WORLD - THAT YOU ARE A WINNER!
The
successful television show of a few years ago, "Cheers" had
its story of success in its theme song, "Where everybody knows
your name." In a subliminal way it said, “You are wanted,
and welcome here.”
Two
logos were created. Positive
Person,
and Positive
Singles.
(Various
colors are used, or solid color, are used depending on shirt color.)


Each
tested logo tells people who, and what. you are.
The
saying underneath
the logo tells them that they are safe with you, and it is okay to
approach you.
Friendly,
Approachable, Kind, and Happy
This
works almost every time someone reads it!
IT
WORKS, IF YOU WORK IT!
There
are great success stories of people that found friendship and even
love, and we are waiting to hear your story of your new friendships.
Great
Gifts!
