Circumcised Heart

by Hazel Straub

God calls us to circumcise the foreskin of our hearts (our mind and way of thinking, will and emotions). We are to get rid of catering to our flesh, instead eating the Word of God and becoming transformed by the Spirit of God. The acts of the flesh include pride, negativity, stubbornness, hatred, envy, fighting, people-pleasing and not God. He calls us leave behind wanting to be right. Doing religious acts without relationship with our Daddy God. When we have a circumcised heart, we will have faith in God, with great love. A circumcised heart seeks God first, listens and obeys him because of love and trust. It has no confidence in the flesh but is dedicated to God.

But you are Jewish because of the inward act of spiritual circumcision—a radical change that lays bare your heart. It’s not by the principle of law, but by power of the Holy Spirit. For then your praise will not come from people, but from God himself! (Romans 2:29 TPT)

Circumcise yourselves to Me; cut away the foreskin of your hearts, men of Judah and people of Jerusalem. Remove all that stands between us, and devote yourselves fully to Me, Or the heat of My anger will burn as an unquenchable fire against your wicked ways. (Jeremiah 4:4 VOICE)

  3. And as fleshly circumcision hurts, spiritual circumcision hurts when we don’t humbly accept and receive. I know that by experience! ❤️
