As father Abraham fought and won the
battle of the kings as described in Genesis 14, so Yeshua has destroyed in the supernatural the world, the works of the enemy, the enemy himself and all his evil army for our sakes. All was fulfilled according to
God's plan for restoration.
So, what is keeping us from
walking in this victory Father planned for His people before the earth was formed? Did you ever ask yourself, why are we not enjoying the victory? After all Yeshua gave His life to ensure it would happen for all the children born through Him. There are many reasons I am sure, but the one I think is the biggest culprit is
the circumcision of our hearts or the lack of it! By this I mean the things we will not cut ourselves free from that we know very well are not Godly and are of the world. Even worse, maybe the things we enjoy are a part of the dark side, kingdom of Satan!
All things at any rate that are not approved by God should be eliminated, cut off, circumcised from our lives! This applies especially to the world's knowledge and its people that do not have any real interest in the Lord or His wisdom. They will try to lead you out of the Kingdom of God through encouraging you to focus and dedicate yourself to worldly interests. Other acquaintances that are just as dangerous are the
religious talking law breakers. These excuse themselves from their life of compromise and hypocrisy based on the lie “
once saved always saved”, taught by Babylon.
The original sin choosing the wrong knowledge and taking in Satan's perspective is committed over and over again. Man cannot seem to keep their hearts free of things that will destroy their walk with God!
Look at Adam and Eve, they were allowed the freedom to do all things except for one requirement, they were not to touch or taste the wisdom or knowledge of the enemy. Their disobedience and the one little taste of Satan's knowledge was
the cause of the bad choice they made and the reason behind all the wrong, unfair, evil things in the world today! One taste and their thinking was warped! Is it not pure insanity that mankind continues to walk the same path of destruction today? They are still
cramming as much worldly knowledge in themselves as possible. What they don't understand, the bad choices made now are causing the sea of humanity along with all creation, to be further and further
out of sync with the rest of the universe! Being out of order with creation and God is leaving man with problems virtually unsolvable. So what we need to understand, the bad decisions made by man today are just as devastating and unfair as the choice made by Adam and Eve as all of us pay the price for their rebellion. This will all end however when God says,
enough is enough!
Those of you that have
one foot in the Kingdom and one in the world and are thinking you will change at the last moment, please pay attention to what I am saying! The things we are to be watching for as signs of the end have already been seen! The abomination that causes desolation has been accepted in society and has been spread globally, the
man of lawlessness has also been revealed! We have all learned how the Antichrist spirits have gathered as the body of Satan to come against the body of Christ. Fair warning has been issued over and over concerning removing ourselves from the world, its systems, people, holidays and events, yet mankind blindly ignores, or procrastinates circumcising themselves from it all! It is the eighth day, people of God, the day
we are to be circumcised! As we have read in
previous blasts, God would have killed Moses because he didn't circumcise his son had his wife not performed the circumcision for him. We all know the importance of the life of Moses to the history of God's people yet God would have killed him!! God changes not, He is the same today as yesterday, even forever. He shows no partiality!
We are not sure which son was uncircumcised, Gershom or Eliezer. Gershom was the oldest, making circumcision quite painful and perhaps the reason why Moses hadn't hurriedly complied with law although the
eighth day, but the fact is, he would be putting man before God making family more important than Him!
Let us read from Matthew 10:34-36 to perhaps see a different side of God than what the church understands.
34 “Do not think that I (Jesus) came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword.
35 For I have come to ‘set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law’;
36 and ‘a man’s enemies will be those of his own household.’ (Those that have no interest in the Lord are usually at odds with those that do.)
On the other hand if the uncircumcised child was Eliezer who was an infant, perhaps Moses was just busy as he had been commissioned by God to save His people Israel and was on his way to begin his mission for Him. By being disobedient to God's law however, no matter who he was or how important to the Lord's plan he was, we see God would have killed him! This is such a warning and a lesson for us today!
Romans 2:11
11 For there is no partiality with God.
So eighth day people without a doubt must have a circumcised heart! Scripture tells us obedience is better than sacrifice!! God says also, if you love Me you will keep My commandments. Moses as well as many today was guilty on both counts! Physically he didn't perform the circumcision and spiritually he didn't obey the law.
Romans 2:28-29 says it beautifully.
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 (the written law); whose praise (recognition) is not from men but from God. (Only God can see this circumcision and judge if we really are!)
Long ago God spoke through Jeremiah about the heart's circumcision in Jeremiah 4:4.
4 Circumcise yourselves to the Lord, and take away the foreskins of your hearts (remove the ways, traits, mindsets of Adam and be fashioned after God), you men of Judah and inhabitants of Jerusalem, (here is what happens if we are not obedient) lest My fury come forth like fire, and burn so that no one can quench it, because of the evil (this is the fate of those God sees won't circumcise to Him) of your doings.”
So the point I am trying to make and hope you see, God is very serious about the circumcision of our hearts! I hope this shows all eighth day people just how important obedience to circumcision was on the eighth day to physical Israel. First in the natural and now today in the supernatural, on the eighth day of God's calendar for those
born through Christ and are supernaturally of Abraham's seed.
Galatians 3:27, 29
27 For as many of you as were baptized into Christ have put on Christ.
29 And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Colossians 2:11 shows us the supernatural circumcision.
11 In Him you were also circumcised with the circumcision made without hands, by putting off the body of the sins of the flesh, (how?) by the circumcision of Christ, (He does all things for us! Through the Word we make changes as our heart is circumcised from sin and the world with the sword of truth.)
I Corinthians 15:46
46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.
If our
sins are circumcised from us at baptism, we are clean, set aside for God, do we really want to invite sin back in because we can't lay down our earthly desires and agendas? Those enticing things that require our breaking the law or at best cause us to walk in gray areas keeping us connected to the very things Christ died to set us free of?
From the garden to the cross, from the cross to the end of the seventh day. It is the eighth day now and man has still refused to be completely circumcised from sin so we have not been restored. Not only was man not restored, but the result of their disobedience has been awful, sometimes catastrophic and always brought problems to the rest of God's people.
The
spirit of unrighteousness, Babylon, was continuously there to weaken morals, make the wrong look right, and the bad, good. An example of her handiwork and a visual warning for us today is found in I Samuel where a father put his sons before God. He was a trained priest and his actions affected those he was to guide and protect! He should have circumcised his sons from Israel. You can read all of this at I Samuel 2. His life ended up in tragedy!
Another example of selfish disobedience is found in Numbers where a man ignored God's command to not take a wife outside of His own people. In this scenario he wasn't even married to her just like many of the rebellious today!
Let us read God's response in Numbers 25:6-9.
6 And indeed, one of the children of Israel came and presented to his brethren a Midianite woman (not Israel) in the sight of Moses (the leadership) and in the sight of all the congregation of the children of Israel, who were weeping at the door of the tabernacle of meeting. (A plague broke out among them and they did not know why until then!)
7 Now when Phinehas the son of Eleazar, the son of Aaron the priest, saw it, he rose from among the congregation and took a javelin in his hand;
8 and he went after the man of Israel into the tent and thrust both of them through, the man of Israel, and the woman through her body. So the plague was stopped among the children of Israel. (but, 24,000 died because of that one man's disobedience!)
Hello, let this speak to us today! All those people were Israel, so when one sinned
they all were guilty of that sin. How is it the same today? As we read earlier in Galatians 3, when we are born through Christ we too are Israel and the sin of one person has the same effect! Can you see why we must be circumcised from sin and all those that cause it!! Side Note: Phinehas was mightily blessed by God for taking action and removing the sin from His people.
Here is another visual, look at Solomon, King David's son who had the honor of building the temple or house of God. God would not let David do it, even though he gathered all the materials to do it, because he was a man of war, of bloodshed, so Solomon was given this honor. Look what he did! He married pagan wives, started living their lifestyle and eventually turned his uncircumcised heart from God!
Will we,
as Zerubbabel, a part of those that came out of Babylon, God's government and people today do the same? Marry those that were not in God's plan for us to marry or deliberately disobey God's commands in any way? We will never succeed and
walk in God's victory if we allow the enemy to mislead us this way! We must circumcise from all ungodly things, keep God's spiritual mountain, Sion, and spiritual city, New Jerusalem clean!
We today are
adding living stones to God's house, His mountain. The foundation has been laid over the past 7000 years and we are now putting the finishing touches on it. It has not been an easy task, the enemy has made it as difficult as he can, but greater is He who is in the eighth day child and very soon the fulfillment of the prophecy found in Isaiah 60:14 will manifest.
Isaiah 60:14
14 Also the sons of those who afflicted you shall come bowing to you, and all those who despised you shall fall prostrate at the soles of your feet; and they shall call you The City of the Lord, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
The house of David is almost complete. From there His knowledge is being released, His language is spoken, His government chosen and being set in place. It is here Yeshua can sit as King! The
light from Sion is shining brighter and brighter as the mountain grows. It
glitters beautifully across the earth for all to see, the capital City of God's Kingdom, Sion!!
Isaiah 2:3 shows us the people see the light of Sion.
3 Many people shall come and say, “Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways (through His government), and we shall walk in His paths.” For out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. (Revelation 21:10)
Working to complete the house of God, teaching concerning His mountain and city will not be an easy task. God's truth is met with much dissension and hatred by the carnal world. The
uncircumcised and unclean are a constant hinderance to our victory. Our God is greater though, and we fully believe the Word of God at Isaiah 52:1.
Isaiah 52:1
1 Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion (don't grow weary of well doing); put on your beautiful garments (robes of salvation, robes of righteousness, robes of separation, robes of incorruption and immortality, all spiritual robes), O Jerusalem, the holy city! (Get ready to experience the victory!) For the uncircumcised and the unclean shall no longer come to you.
