Circumcision

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus. --Galatians 3:28   The scripture above defined the family of God in heaven and on earth. It did not say there is no father or mother it says there is no male or female. The absence of Fathers in a community and in the church was never a plan of God. Jesus never brought to us God like Prophets did but he brought a family member who is the Head The Father. This is the name He hallowed. This is the name we are to hallow The Father. Hallowed be Thine Name. No wonder the Name of the Son is lifted above every Name because He hallowed the Name of the Father. It takes sonship to see the absent Head of Family who carries the dream. Old men will dream. The dream must be brought back to your community.   The key here in viewing the bible is Father and Son. It is Apostle, Prophet and Sonship. Evangelists win souls but prophets win sons. We have come to win you as son.   Well a son is not a male child. That is what the bible teaches. No one is born a son. A son is he who is circumcised by the father and given a prophetic name or destiny on his eighth day.   Circumcision is of the lip for in the lip of the son is nothing but the word of the father. Your ear is circumcised to hear none but the father your heart is circumcised to desire none but that which is from the father.   I have been in the ministry as a pastor and went to a prophetic school and served 7yrs but sonship is a different thing altogether. Until you take off your sandals you will not see it. I am in my dad's hands and my circumcision is a process. For I came as a gifted uncircumcised prophet. I was kicking and would not allow another man to touch the most sensitive part of my body.   I was talking all that I know as prophetic as possible but my lips would not stop. Circumcision is the process of slowing the rate of your lips with all that is carries and put it down before the father.   Though Timothy was an old 'matured' man he allowed Paul to circumcise him. It is not a good sight to see two men one naked and one holding a sensitive part of his body to cut it. I guess many walked away. But Timothy the one that Paul would later call a True Son stayed.   The most difficult thing to do is to remove flesh/ego/foreskin of an old man to submit to sonship. Our communities are full of boys who know how to make children but can't father. When they are standing in front of real fathers you can't tell the difference. But once they speak you can tell.   Now we are called to bring those two together and be enemies no more. They are enemies because one thinks that he is a father without having to be circumcised and carry the dream of the father. This is the true picture in salvation.   This is the picture that Joshua had to be confronted with. A group of men who refused to be circumcised by their fathers. Fathers have long died and the others are old uncircumcised men.   They affirmed their manhood in gang violence and not in God instructed way of circumcision. But they were not fit to fight the war of possessing Canaan. God asked Joshua to circumcise them.   Can you imagine the tons of ego that went down on that day? This was a filter of sonship for they were to submit to a new father called Joshua?   Who is he to touch us in our private parts? They asked one another. It is still happening today in the house of faith.   I tell you it was more difficult for Joshua to circumcise those big men than to fight all the wars that were to follow. For everytime men meet the first thing is: who is he? Who is this one? What are his credentials?   ~~ProphetVanto Vanto2/8/2012      UnlikeCommentStop Notifications
