Waiting

So if you’re waiting on God, wait on Him right to the end. Hos. 12:6, “Wait on your God continually.” Wait until God answers.

Circumcision - (Whoa)

Circumcision.... this is usually not a topic that women deal with. In the natural sense, this topic gears towards the male audience .... but spiritually, its a matter of the heart for both men and women. Romans 2:25-29 For circumcision verily profiteth, if thou keep the law: but if thou be a breaker of the law, thy circumcision is made uncircumcision. Therefore if the uncircumcision keep the righteousness of the law, shall not his uncircumcision be counted for circumcision? And shall not uncircumcision which is by nature, if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and circumcision dost transgress the law? For he is not a Jew, which is one outwardly; neither is that circumcision, which is outward in the flesh: But he is a Jew, which is one inwardly; and circumcision is that of the heart, in the spirit, and not in the letter; whose praise is not of men, but of God. In the Jewish culture, every male child had to undergo this procedure on the eighth day after birth. Anyone who did not do this, was considered unclean/unholy. This was an outward sign of consecration and belonging to God. In the spiritual realm, circumcision of the heart is the seal of our dedication and commitment to our faith and our Father. It is our obedience to God from the heart. It is knowing what God wants us to do, and actually doing it. To be circumcised unto God is to serve Him with everything in you. It is to give Him all you have, it is to worship Him alone, and serve no other gods. Everything that goes in or comes out of us, has to be holy, right, clean and just. It is keeping our body, mind and soul as a temple where God can dwell in and manifest through. This is the condition of the heart that requires discipline and self control. The most intimate part of this is that its all about your dedication and your commitment to God.
