To be spiritually circumcised means to be separated from the unclean world and dedicated to FATHER, the word is transferred to denote the extinguishing of lusts and the removal of sins. Is a heart matter which is internal. Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 2:
28 For he is not a Jew who is one outwardly, nor is circumcision that which is outward in the flesh;
29 but he is a Jew who is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the Spirit, not in the letter; whose praise is not from men but from God.
Each of us knows whether we conducting ourselves with a pure intent of Love. We know whether we are manipulating others or sacrificing ourselves for their benefit. We know whether we are constantly exalting ourselves in the eyes of man or giving no place for such actions and thoughts. Thoughts will come which are contrary to Love but the question is whether we embrace those thoughts and dwell on them. The world bombards us with words and pictures in an attempt to get us to see life in a worldly, lustful fashion. Our Job is to cast down vain imaginations.
In Matthew chapter 15, Jesus spoke:
7 “Hypocrites! Well did Isaiah prophesy about you, saying:
8 ‘These people draw near to Me with their mouth,
And honor Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
9 And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ ”
10 When He had called the multitude to Himself, He said to them, “Hear and understand: 11 Not what goes into the mouth defiles a man; but what comes out of the mouth, this defiles a man.”
Jesus Who is the essence of Divine Love called the Pharisees and others “Hypocrites”. Love corrects when it is necessary to do so. Cutting away the flesh is not a pleasant task whether it be physical or Spiritual and it is time to get serious about our walk IN HIM. If our actions are not derived out of a heart of Love, we need to get the scalpel out and do some more cutting away of the heart. Talk is cheap. The question is whether or not our actions and words are based on Love or not. Are we putting on an outward show in order to impress others or are we being led by THE SPIRIT? FATHER knows whether or not we too are hypocrites. If so, it is time to repent and walk away from the ways of the world.
Jesus continued:
16 So Jesus said, “Are you also still without understanding?
17 Do you not yet understand that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and is eliminated?
18 But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.
19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies.
20 These are the things which defile a man, but to eat with unwashed hands does not defile a man.”
Jesus made it quite clear that the external is not the issue in the above passage, it is the heart! Put away evil thoughts today. We must cut away anything that does not glorify FATHER in our heart and let us become a blessing to others in both Word and deed. We need to walk with circumcised hearts of Love.
