2. God will use your spiritual father to circumsise you
Collosians 2:11 says that "In Him you were also circumised, in the putting off of the sinful nature, not with a circumcision done by the hands of men but with the circumcision done by Christ..."
Circumcision is the cutting off of the unwanted flesh. There is an extra flesh in our hearts that God wants us to do away with. Extra thoughts in our minds. Extra ambition. Extra ego....extra...extra..We need to allow the Holy Spirit to show us that which stands between us and God. Could it be pride, jealousy, unforgiveness, immorality, resentment, mishandling of church finance, having idols in our hearts, lack of integrity?
Circumcision is a quick work. When the doctor is circumsising a child it happens so quick. God wants to do a quick work in our lives. No more delays or wasting of time. When a male child visits the doctor's room for circumcision he must lay on the table voluntarily and yield himself. God is inviting us to his operating table. He is saying " I want to do a quick work".
Kim Suan a friend of mine from Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia calls this " God's Dealings". So we must allow God's dealings in our lives. God might use challenging situations to circumsise us.
Hebrews 3:7 says "So as the Holy Spirit says: Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts..." When must circumcision take place? Today. Amen
