1. It invokes and involves other persons into the life of the person wearing it.
2. The same happens in marriage. That means that decisions taken are no longer that of the couple.
3. The behavior of the person wearing the dress changes, without his/her knowing it.
4. Evil spirits, demons, mermaids, ghosts and black energies following the dress owner gain entrance into the life of the person wearing second hand dress.
5. Physically, the person wearing second hand dress appears to be the same old person. But spiritually, he/she is no longer himself.
6. When the marriage partner sees the person, he no longer sees the original person but sees a different person. Therefore, the marriage failure and marriage crisis begins even before they know it.
7. When a person puts on a second hand dress, his/her aura changes. The aura becomes a hybrid aura : a combination of the person’s aura and that of the former owner of the dress.
8. Wearing second hand dresses and shoes is like putting poverty on oneslf.
9. The sale of second hand dresses makes a nation a refuse dump of other nations.
10. By encouraging the wearing of second hand dresses, demons, cultists and secret societies initiate people into their kingdom without people knowing it. To wear the dress of a member of secret society, or that of a demon-possessed person, is the same as initiating oneself.

1. The woman of issue of blood became healed, just by touching the fringe of Jesus’ garment. In other words, the personality and power of Jesus is in his garment.
2. 20 And suddenly, a woman who had a flow of blood for twelve years came from behind and touched the hem of His garment. 21 For she said to herself, "If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well." 22 But Jesus turned around, and when He saw her He said, "Be of good cheer, daughter; your faith has made you well." And the woman was made well from that hour. Matthew 9:20-22
3. Elijah made Elisha to become his servant, just by putting his (Elijah’s) dress on Elisha 1 kings19:15,16 Immediately Elijah put his dress on Elisha, Elijah’s spirit entered Elisha and Elisha started serving Elijah.
   
   15 Then the LORD said to him: "Go, return on your way to the Wilderness of Damascus; and when you arrive, anoint Hazael as king over Syria. 16 Also you shall anoint Jehu the son of Nimshi as king over Israel. And Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel Meholah you shall anoint as prophet in your place. 17 It shall be that whoever escapes the sword of Hazael, Jehu will kill; and whoever escapes the sword of Jehu, Elisha will kill. 18 Yet I have reserved seven thousand in Israel, all whose knees have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him."
   
   19 So he departed from there, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was plowing with twelve yoke of oxen before him, and he was with the twelfth. Then Elijah passed by him and threw his mantle on him. 20 And he left the oxen and ran after Elijah, and said, "Please let me kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow you."
   And he said to him, "Go back again, for what have I done to you?" 21 So Elisha turned back from him, and took a yoke of oxen and slaughtered them and boiled their flesh, using the oxen's equipment, and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he arose and followed Elijah, and became his servant. 1 Kings 19:15-21 (especially 1 kings 19:19-21)
   


4. Elijah received power from Elijah, just by receiving Elijah’s mantle (cloak, dress)
   
   9 And so it was, when they had crossed over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask! What may I do for you, before I am taken away from you?"
   Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be upon me." 10 So he said, "You have asked a hard thing. Nevertheless, if you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; but if not, it shall not be so." 11 Then it happened, as they continued on and talked, that suddenly a chariot of fire appeared with horses of fire, and separated the two of them; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
   12 And Elisha saw it, and he cried out, "My father, my father, the chariot of Israel and its horsemen!" So he saw him no more. And he took hold of his own clothes and tore them into two pieces. 13 He also took up the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and went back and stood by the bank of the Jordan. 14 Then he took the mantle of Elijah that had fallen from him, and struck the water, and said, "Where is the LORD God of Elijah?" And when he also had struck the water, it was divided this way and that; and Elisha crossed over.
   15 Now when the sons of the prophets who were from Jericho saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." And they came to meet him, and bowed to the ground before him. 2 Kings 2:9-15 (especially 2 Kings 2:13-15)
   


5. Handkerchiefs taken from St Paul to the sick people, healed the sick. That is to say that the spirit and power of St Paul was in those handkerchiefs.
   
   11 Now God worked unusual miracles by the hands of Paul, 12 so that even handkerchiefs or aprons were brought from his body to the sick, and the diseases left them and the evil spirits went out of them. Acts 19:11-12
   
   
6. The next verse shows that if you are not strong enough to withstand the evil spirits, they shall attack you.
   
   13 Then some of the itinerant Jewish exorcists took it upon themselves to call the name of the Lord Jesus over those who had evil spirits, saying, "We exorcise you by the Jesus whom Paul preaches." 14 Also there were seven sons of Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, who did so.
   15 And the evil spirit answered and said, "Jesus I know, and Paul I know; but who are you?" 16 Then the man in whom the evil spirit was leaped on them, overpowered them, and prevailed against them, so that they fled out of that house naked and wounded. Acts 19:13-16
   


7. Mosses transferred power and authority from Aaron to Aaron’s son, just by putting Aaron’s garment on Aaron’s sons.
   
   22 Now the children of Israel, the whole congregation, journeyed from Kadesh and came to Mount Hor. 23 And the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in Mount Hor by the border of the land of Edom, saying: 24 "Aaron shall be gathered to his people, for he shall not enter the land which I have given to the children of Israel, because you rebelled against My word at the water of Meribah. 25 Take Aaron and Eleazar his son, and bring them up to Mount Hor; 26 and strip Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; for Aaron shall be gathered to his people and die there." 27 So Moses did just as the LORD commanded, and they went up to Mount Hor in the sight of all the congregation. 28 Moses stripped Aaron of his garments and put them on Eleazar his son; and Aaron died there on the top of the mountain. Then Moses and Eleazar came down from the mountain. Numbers 20:22-28
   


8. King Saul lost his kingdom, just by tearing Samuel’s dress.
9. Jeroboam took ten of king Solomon’s kingdom just by receiving ten pieces of clothes.
   
   29 Now it happened at that time, when Jeroboam went out of Jerusalem, that the prophet Ahijah the Shilonite met him on the way; and he had clothed himself with a new garment, and the two were alone in the field. 30 Then Ahijah took hold of the new garment that was on him, and tore it into twelve pieces. 31 And he said to Jeroboam, "Take for yourself ten pieces, for thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: 'Behold, I will tear the kingdom out of the hand of Solomon and will give ten tribes to you …
   34 However I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, because I have made him ruler all the days of his life for the sake of My servant David, whom I chose because he kept My commandments and My statutes. 35 But I will take the kingdom out of his son's hand and give it to you — ten tribes. 1 Kings 11:29-35
