Please ask God to circumcise the foreskin of your heart, not the foreskin of your flesh.*

Please ask God to circumcise the foreskin of your heart, not the foreskin of your flesh. REFLECTION. THE CIRCUMCISION: Circumcision, like tithing are two issues that arise before the Law of God given to Moses, which would adopt. However, in the spiritual vision of the meaning of circumcision, far from that practiced in the flesh, we must seek to practice in the heart in spirit and focus on God's covenant with the children of the faith, whose father Abraham is spiritual, in the personal relationship between the Lord and Abraham, from which we can learn and take in our lives. God's covenant with Abraham was fulfilled in the Son of God, for Jesus Christ culminates Act spiritual form, full compliance and offering a better covenant in His blood, eternal life through faith in His Work. However, following the teaching of the Word in that physical circumcision is more background on its spiritual significance, we enter a deeper field, not compliance, but the love of God. L circumcision is thus circumcision of the heart, the spiritual circumcision of men and women of God, ... Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven ... Matthew 5:44 and Luke 6:27 to 36. Circumcision, in the spiritual focus, not the physical, has two purposes: to overcome our carnal way of thinking, in the sense of the human mind without Christ, and partly to end sectarian religion, denominational and doctrinal fanaticism membership and defense of certain organized religions, which allows man to know, belong to the Living God and His Son Jesus Christ, and plead the cause of the Gospel. It should be noted here that it is not obliterate the personality of each individual, because this is what makes us different, makes us souls and spirits that fill in wealth and the existence of God are precious to the point of giving His life for us. The spirit and the soul can not be cloned, are unique, as evidenced by the case of twin brothers with identical circumstances and lives and personalities distinct from the moment of his birth, and it is a scientifically proven fact. Just as circumcision in the flesh is done once for all, the decision is spiritually at heart, but not achieved at the time, but it is the beginning of a work that will last all our life's work bind the flesh with its passions and projects of the mind, to grow in spirit is to do work that the Spirit of God in us, when we come in His hands. The will of the person who receives God is to open your heart to Him and others, but because of the amount of educational background and genetic within us, in addition to the animal flesh, "1 Corinthians 15", this will be encounters a ballast that can be overcome gradually, as we learn from the Master in his writing: ... Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father in heaven is perfect. Matthew 5:48. That said, it's not that God does not accept us to our perfection, but on our knowing that we will be perfect, imperfect and weak knowing ourselves, acknowledging our dependence upon Him for our lives, so that we walk in humility. It is therefore essential to know the keys to fighting against flesh and mind to oppose this heart circumcision in spirit, key Master has given us and which are explained below: The first one is repentance, that change of mind, accept Christ as savior after having realized that the world and the animal does not teach us to walk with Him God provides man with a higher level for the mind, for his spirit and his life, to receive the Spirit of Christ in the baptism of fire, man is purified like gold and reach the height of spiritual man, instead of staying in the rational animal. The Gospel has the power to transform us into the new birth of the Spirit of God. Prayer is the second instrument that can be used for circumcision, pray for yourself, in this case, to knock out our natural man. Overcoming language, arrogance, pride, lack of humility, etc.. How well these qualities comes eliminate enemy of God, without them we would not have hatred, wars, hatred, and so many aberrations of human history is full. Without these weights we love God and our neighbor, and also our enemies. Spiritual circumcision is the first step to live by the Golden Rule of Matthew 7:7 to 12, and turn the other cheek. Fasting is the third resource that Master taught, giving an example of how to overcome the flesh, and sometimes waking adding to the desires of the flesh can not fight against the soul. Demons flee if they resist, they are not patients, they have self-control. Christ in us is our strength. The Church is not an elite by itself but by faith in Christ, a body of those who deny themselves, recognizing weak and they know that their strength is hidden in God. Especially recommend reading the following text slowly 2Peter 1, and Bible study VIRTUE. The 8 stages of circumcision or the 7 gifts of the Spirit and reflect on their lives: 3In ... all things that pertain to life and godliness has given us His divine power, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue, 4by half of which has given us great and precious promises , that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption in the world caused by evil desires 5vosotros also, applying all diligence because of this, add to your faith virtue; and to goodness, knowledge; 6al knowledge temperance; self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; 7A godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness love. 8For if these things are yours and abound, they keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ returns to talk about to be circumcised in heart using other words, tells of love for enemies, tells us that this is our merit, not by our works that have merit for merit salvation that Christ is love we who were his enemies, but yours be imitators precisely this type of circumcision, in the heart. It costs a lot to love our enemies, and we are so easy to love those who love us and give us something in return for what we give, but how difficult it is to give us that give us trouble and those who hate us . But this is also part of the Golden Rule. Nothing but the shell breaks we put in our heart that when our enemy is us with love and we pay good for evil or respect for indifference to God's Word: ... 20So, if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing, will heap burning coals on his head. 21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Romans 12:20. The love of Christ is that we sacrifice of lips that confess His name, to preach the gospel, they open the door that leads to God and that is closed to the mind, for lack of faith, and faith comes by hearing the Word of God speak of God and salvation in Christ, the only way for man to please God and God receives and accepts. Let us do good to all, and let us love among which we, through His blood, the body of Christ, so that they know that we are His disciples. Accept him whose faith is weak, not for disputes over opinions. Romans 14:1. Finally, it is a reflection on the situation experienced by people, depending on the time and place of his birth and the circumstances of their lives, they do not know God, and the Savior, only the tradition of their religions. God weighs the heart to see his intentions. God knows if a person would receive if you preach Christ, and bestows His mercy according to the condition of each man. And You who have known the message, as you know and have experienced the new life that Christ gives, for now go to their families, friends, neighbors, co-workers and employees, and thus comuníquenles all nations the good news of the Word of the living God, the Gospel of Christ for their sakes. We have the keys of the kingdom of heaven, yes, the living in Christ, all Christians, as the Apostle Peter, we have received God's faith in His Son Jesus Christ, the universal Savior. It is therefore the purpose of the circumcision that God wants, that man you look, you realize that without Him we can neither live nor understand existence. That man comes to trust in Him and salvation, we trust that there is another world, the world perfect, eternal, without wars, without suffering, full of goodness and honor, full of brotherly love where the heart is open and not fear. That world is provided by new and eternal God, God wins it for us by His victory over evil and his army, on the Cross of Golgotha, here on earth and in the spiritual battle in the heavenly spiritual, the eternal dimension. This is the good news. Do you believe this? Do you believe in the Son of God? The kingdom of God comes. Dear friend, or enemy, God loves you, learn from Him Today is the perfect day to begin to love an enemy. Make it a daily exercise. Every day think of those people that hate and pray for them. Change your life, and theirs. His circumcision has begun. Then find their own weaknesses and faults and pray in the name of Jesus Christ, that God would free them, soon you will be a different person, not you recognize him / herself, will be more like Christ. The further away from me and closer to Christ, but Christ will have to take charge and brothers for each of us. Has begun in alleviating the yoke of Christ. The priesthood with Christ awaits. ... Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest for your souls, for my yoke is easy, and my burden is light. Matthew 11:29. Two biblical texts about circumcision and its meaning. The two circumcisions of God's people, from Abraham, before entering Egypt and before entering the Promised Land. What do they mean? Joshua 5. 2In that time Yahweh said to Joshua, Make thee sharp knives, and circumcise again the second time to the children of Israel. 3 And Joshua made him sharp knives, and circumcised the children of Israel at the hill of the foreskins. 4This is the cause why Joshua did circumcise: All the people that came out of Egypt, men, all men of war, died in the wilderness, by the way, after they came out of Egypt. 5 For all the people that came out were circumcised: but all the people that were born in the wilderness, by the way, after they had come out of Egypt had not been circumcised. The people of God, each of us, in his own history with God, follows the story of the Bible, and therefore Abraham is in us our start in intimate relationship with God. Circumcision of Isaac represents our circumcision in Jesus Christ, the beloved Son of the Father. So this is our willingness to walk with Christ in humility, refusing in carnality of our mind. After that we in Egypt, our life in the world under the system of slavery. We accept and celebrate Easter before leaving the world on 14 Nisan, the day we receive and understand the sacrifice of Christ and we take the sacrament, making the sign of the blood on the lintel and the doorposts of our souls, the temple of God. Then we went looking for the promised land of God's hand. The preparation by the temptation in the wilderness, spiritual growth and finding others who love Christ, and their souls are Promised Land. JESUS, YESHUAH: THE CHRIST OF GLORY. Holy Spirit and fire .. The ministry of faith TERESA AQUINO Prophet.
