BE CIRCUMCISED
God commanded all Jewish males to be circumcised. Although this cutting away of the fleshly sheath of the penis marked them as one of God’s chosen people, it had another purpose that was health related. Foreskin retained could harbor germs hidden in the folds. Removing the foreskin made for cleanliness.
Every believer is also commanded to be circumcised. God spoke it to Moses, and it applied to all believers of both the Old and New Testaments. Really? Omigosh! How can that be so for both male and female? Deuteronomy 10:16 tells it to us. God said, “Circumcise therefore the foreskin of your heart, and be no more stiffnecked.” Yes, it is the “circumcision of the heart.”
Those who are “stiffnecked” are stubborn in their own ways, thoughts, words, and actions. The heart is not entirely “tuned in” to God. It may be that they have secret sin, or they do not follow God’s Word, or they live primarily by what pleases the flesh.
This circumcision of the heart means to sacrifice the fleshly desires of the body to be sanctified and holy unto God. Romans 12:1 says (NKJV), “…present your bodies (your flesh) a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service.” Yes, you sacrifice your fleshly desires because (I Corinthians 6:19), “…your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you…you are not your own.” God owns you. He expects you to take good care of your temple. In order to do that you need to have your heart right.
When we “circumcise the heart,” we determine in our spirit (heart) that we will shed all desires that do not line up with god’s desire for us. If we fail to circumcise the heart, God will “try us” in judgment. We must establish a just and righteous spirit (heart) before the Lord.
We are told this in Psalm 7:9 as it says, “establish the just, for the righteous God trieth the hearts…” (KJV).
If your heart is circumcised, then there is no place for sin (germs) to hide. God will see you as righteous through Christ.
You do not wish to stand before God in the judgment of the believers with an uncircumcised heart. Although you are saved, you may suffer some loss in reward as you will be exposed before the throne at the “Bema Seat” judgment where believer’s “works” are tried as by fire.
Circumcise the foreskin (flesh) of your heart and let your heart’s desire be totally “sold out” to our holy God and Savior.

WHERE DOES PEACE COME FROM?
There is a cliché that goes like this: “Know Jesus, know peace. No Jesus, no peace.” Even though this is true, how do we find peace in a world full of turmoil? How do we find peace when we witness violence and mayhem? How do we find peace when violent storms come, and our “boat” is rocked and is sinking? How do we find peace when our friends are sick, and some have died even when we prayed?
Is there a way to have peace through all of these situations? Yes, there is, but it is not something we do in the natural. It is only obtained one way. In Isaiah 26:3 there is a clue. It says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee.” The word stayed means to lean on, rest, take hold of in a favorable sense, to sustain. To lean on means someone else is supporting our weight. Jesus told us to take his yoke upon us. In other words, we team up with him but let him be the stronger member of the team.
The second part of the verse in Isaiah is the most important part. “because he trusteth in thee.” This means we have faith that the person we lean upon “will” be able to support us. It means we let him carry us if necessary. When fear is in our lives it means that we are not trusting God, and we will lose our peace. It truly is as simple as that. Trust comes from believing God even when the circumstances are contrary to good. Trust comes totally by faith in the one that created you and knows you better than anyone.
I could list so many Biblical characters that trusted in God, and because of that they “finished their course” in faith. But this message is about you and me. Do we truly lean on God when the circumstances are bad? Can we trust that He knows more than us? Do we take Him at his “word” and speak it over the circumstances? We must stay our minds (totally lean on him and his word) to have victory. Most of the problems come because we don’t do just that. Since God knows everything, He knows what you need. He only asks that you spend time with him and let Him direct your steps. He wants us to “lean” on Him for everything!
We sing the old song, “Trust and Obey, for there’s no other way” and it is a good song to remember. Do you trust him in all circumstances, or only in the “good times”? If it is only in the good times, then you will lose your peace when the trials come. Trials come to increase our faith and cause us to lean on Him more and more and this is the only way to have His peace.

PROPHETIC EXHORTATION
For I would say to you today to be prepared. Be prepared. Be prepared in spirit, soul and body, for there will be many suddenlies happening in your future. Be prepared. Do not think that they would come without my telling you, for I guide my people by my Spirit saith the Lord. Be prepared, for there are times coming that would wrench the hardest of hearts. Be prepared saith the Lord. Open your spiritual ears to listen more than you have ever listened. For this is the hour of great deception upon the earth. This is the hour that the deceiver would whisper words of comfort when I have shouted prepare saith the Lord. This is not the hour to be at ease. This is the hour to be prepared. For had you prepared in the past, then you would have not been caught off guard. Many have been deceived into thinking all is well, but I would say, be prepared. This is the hour to draw closer to me and stay there saith the Lord. Tune into my Spirit and turn off those things that are bringing you discord and discontentment. For this is not the hour to listen to false words from false prophets. This is the hour to listen to me. I would say to you that this is the hour to come apart and be prepared for what is on the horizon. Do not be like the foolish virgins that thought they had sufficient when they did not. Be prepared saith the Lord for the hour of temptation is at hand. I will show you the way and I will guide you through but listen now more than ever before saith the Lord. Be prepared!

APOSTLE PAT MURRAY

You should never feel the need to shrink or to act less than who and what you really are; Just so others can feel important and secure in a relationship, friendship or even as your business partner. One thing for certain you’ll never be totally happy as long as you continue trying to be who someone else wants you to be. Don’t you do it...You be WHO and WHAT God made you to be; That is...You just be Bold...Be Brave...And be unapologetically YOU. If that person whether it be in a relationship or a friendship really loves or cares about you then they will accept you and honor you right where you are and for who you truly are. So continue to be yourself; For you’re one of a kind and if they can’t celebrate you being YOU...Then you need to wake up...Smell the coffee and RUN.
