Circumcise my Heart
My Beloved child take time to be still (Psalms 46:1) and know that I am God for I am creating a clean heart in you and renewing a right spirit within you filled with clean thoughts and right desires. (Psalms 51:10) Listen, I am bringing to your attention to areas of your life that you need to work on consecrating yourself through repentance, so you do not have to suffer the consequences of wrong choices you have made. (Romans 6:23) No one can deny the relentless pain brought on by enduring the consequences of wrong actions. I do not desire to punish you. I love you! To those I love – I prune whatever isn’t uplifting in your life (John 15:1-2) if you are willing to sit still in My presence allowing Me to reveal your heart, you will be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12:2)
The best thing to do as I expose your heart to you is admit the truth, confess it before Me in repentance and deal with it and I will do a makeover in your heart and your life. Don’t justify your sin or blame someone else – take responsibility for your own doing where you were wrong. (1 Corinthians 10:13) Humble yourself and seek Me with all your heart while I may be found, and I will cleanse you that I may be filled with life and joy radiating the Light of My Son Jesus. (Isaiah 55:6) I will strengthen you so that when times of temptation come, you will prevail and not run like Jonah and end up in a big mess desperately repenting begging Me to help you get out of it. (Jonah 2:1-2, 7-10)
Someone else we can learn from is the man after God’s own heart, David! He was not perfect, but he was quick to repent and quick to obey God – that’s why God said, ‘He’s a man after my own heart!’ (1 Samuel 13:14, Acts 13:22) We know he loved God and pursued Him, he also had his share of making wrong decisions. First, David stayed home when he should have been out with his army. (2 Samuel 11:1) Second, he gave into lust and sexual drive, committing adultery with another man’s wife. This man was one of his loyal warriors. (2 Samuel 11:2-4) Then he tried to escape the accountability of his sin by plotting to have the woman lay with her husband but failed. (2 Samuel 11:6-13) Finally, he plotted to have the woman’s husband killed in battle. (2 Samuel 11:14-17) David thought he could get away with murder and adultery, but he was wrong. No one gets away from sin. The wages of sin is death! (Romans 6:23) God confronted him through the prophet Nathan. (2 Samuel 12:1-15) Though he was unrepentant at first, he ended up repenting and yielding to God. (2 Samuel 12:5-6, 13) Despite David’s intimacy with God, he still made terrible choices that cost him. Let’s learn from him!
I am a loving God and I do not get angry with you when you blow it. The enemy comes to you with lies and accuses – he heaps guilt and condemnation on you to keep you away from Me. (Revelations 12:10) Allow Me to circumcise your heart in repentance of your failures. Come close to Me and I will come close to you. (James 4:8) Run to your Shelter and I will hide you under My wings for I am your fortress and refuge, your place of safety! (Psalms 91:1-4)
