THE CIRCUNCISIÓN

Circuncisión, like the tithe is two subjects that are originated before the Law of God given to Moisés, would adopt which them. Nevertheless, in the spiritual vision of the meaning of the circuncisión, far from which one practices in the meat, we must look for the one that practices in the heart in spirit and to concentrate us in the pact of God with the children of the faith, whose spiritual father is Abraham; in the personal relation between Mr. and Abraham, of who we can learn and adopt in our lives. The pact of God with Abraham would be fulfilled in the Son of God, because Jesus Christ culminates the Law of spiritual form, fulfilling it and offering a better pact to us in His blood, the eternal life by the faith in Its Work.

Nevertheless, and following the education of the Word insofar as the physical circuncisión has a greater background in its spiritual meaning, we entered ourselves in a deeper field, not the one of the fulfillment, but the one of the love of God. L circuncisión is, then, the circuncisión of the heart, the spiritual circuncisión of the man and the woman of God, for… You love your enemies, you bless to whom they curse to you, you do well to that they detest to you, and pray by which ultrajan to you and they persecute to you, so that you are children of your Father who is in skies… Mateo 5:44 and Lucas 6:27 to the 36.

The circuncisión, in the spiritual approach, not in the physicist, has two aims: to win to our sexual way to think, in the sense of the human mind without Christ, and on the other hand to end to the religious sectarianism, the denominational doctrinal fanaticism and the property and defense of certain organized religions, that it allows the man to know, to belong to the Alive God and Its Son Jesus Christ, and to defend the cause of the Gospel.

It is necessary to emphasize here that one is not to annul the personality of each individual, because this one is the one that us makes different, that it turns into souls and spirits to us who fill of wealth the existence and which they are precious stones of God until the point to give His life by us. The spirit and the soul cannot be clonar, are unique, as they demonstrate to the case of twin brothers with lives and identical circumstances and personalities to it good differentiated from the moment from his birth, and that is a scientific data verified.

As well as the circuncisión in the meat is made in one go for always, spiritually makes the decision from heart, but it does not obtain itself then, but it is the beginning of a work that is going to last all our life, the work to tie to the meat with its passions and projects of the mind, so that we grow in spirit; work that is to make the Spirit of God in us, when we put ourselves in Its hands.

The will of the person who receives God is the one abrir its heart to him to Him and the others, but due to the amount of educative and genetic baggage which we took inside, besides the own meat animal, “1Coríntios 15�, this will is with a ballast that can be overcome little by little, as the Teacher in His writing teaches to us: … Thirst because perfect you, like your Father who is in skies are perfect. Mateo 5:48. Said which, it is not that God does not accept to us until our perfection, but in the one of our will knowing that we want to be perfect, knowing to us imperfect and weak, recognizing our dependancy of Him during our life, so that we walk in humility. 

It is then essential to know the keys to fight against the meat and the mind that are against this circuncisión of the heart in Spirit, keys that the Teacher has given us and that are explained next:

First of them it is the repentance, that change of mind, accepting to Christ like rescuer after to have included/understood who the world and the part animal does not teach to us to walk with Him. God provides to the man with a level superior for the mind, for its spirit and for his life, when receiving the Spirit of Christ in the fire baptism, the man is purified as gold and arrives around spiritual man, instead of to remain in the one of rational animal. The Gospel must be able to transform us into the new birth of the Spirit of God.

The oration is the second instrument that can be used for the circuncisión, to pray by one same one, in this case, to leave out of action our natural man. To overcome the language, pride, the pride, the lack of humility, etc. What comes to us well to eliminate these enemy qualities of God, without them we would not have hatred, the wars, hatred, and so many aberrations of which human history is full. Without these ballasts we will be able to love God and our fellow, and in addition to our enemies. The spiritual circuncisión is the first step to live according to the rule on gold on Mateo 7:7 to the 12, and to put the other cheek.

The fasting is the third resource that the Masterful standard, giving example of how to overcome the meat, and sometimes adding the watch to him so that desires of the meat cannot battle against the soul. The demons flee if he resists to them, are not patient, do not have own dominion. Christ in us is our force. The Church is not a body of elite by she herself but by the faith in Christ, a body of which they refuse to themselves, that they are clear weak and that they know that its force is hidden in God.

Especially I recommend to slowly read the following text of 2Pedro 1, and the Biblical study VIRTUE. The 8 stages of the circuncisión or the 7 gifts of the Spirit and to reflect in its lives:

… ^3Como all the things that belong to the life and the mercy have been given us by their divine one to be able, by means of the knowledge of whom it called by his glory and excellence, average ^4por of which it has given precious and grandísimas promises us, so that by them you got to be participant from the divine nature, having fled from the corruption that there is in the world because of the concupiscencia; ^5vosotros also, putting all diligence by this same one, 

you add to your faith virtue;

to the virtue, knowledge;

^6the knowledge, own dominion;

to the own dominion, patience;

to the patience, mercy;

^7the mercy, brotherly affection;

and to the brotherly affection, 

love. 

^8Porque if these things are in you, and abound, will not let to you be idle nor without fruit as far as the knowledge of our Mr. Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ returns to speak to us of which circuncidemos us of heart using other words, speak to us of love by the enemies, speak to us of which that is our merit, not that by our works we have merits for the salvation that is merit of Christ by love, that éramos its enemies, but indeed we are imitadores his in this type of circuncisión, in the one of the heart. 

He costs to us much to love our enemies, and it is so easy to us to love which they love to us and which gives us to something in exchange for which we we give, but what difficult turns out to give to us to whom they give misfortunes us and to that detest to us. But this is also part of the gold rule. Nothing breaks but the armor that we put in our heart that when our enemy deals to us with love and evil or respect by indifference pays to us or by; in Word of God: … ^20Así that, if your enemy is hungry, dale to eat; if he will be thirsty, dale to drink; then doing this, fire live coals you will accumulate on its head. ^21No you are won of the bad thing, but it overcomes with the good the evil. Romans 12:20.

The love of Christ is made up of which we make sacrifice of lips that confess Their name, that we preach the gospel, that we abramos the door to them that takes to God and that is closed for the mind, because lack the faith, and the faith comes by hearing the Word of God: we speak of God and of the salvation in Christ, the unique way that has the man to please to God and that God receives to him and accepts to him. We make the good to all and amémonos between which we are, by Its blood, body of Christ, so that they know that we are Its disciples. You receive to the weak one in the faith, does not stop to contender on opinions. Romans 14:1.

Finally, it is a reflection on the situation that experiences the people, following the time and the place of his birth and the circumstances of his life, that they cause that they do not know God, nor to El Salvador, only the tradition of its religions.

God weighs the hearts to see its intentions. God knows if a person would receive Christ if they preached, and grants His mercy to him in agreement with this condition of each man. And You those that have known the message, as already know and have undergone the new life that gives Christ, go then now to his families, friendly, neighbors, fellow workers and employees, and in this way communicate to all the nations the good news to them of the Word of the alive God, the Gospel de Christ by love to them. We have the keys of the kingdom of skies, yes, the alive ones in Christ, all the Christians, like Pedro the apostle, have received from God the faith in Its Son Jesus Christ, universal El Salvador.

It is because the purpose of the true circuncisión that loves God, that the man looks for to Him, that of account of which without Him the existence cannot be lived nor be included/understood. That the man gets to trust Him and in the Salvation, that we trust that there is another world, the perfect, eternal world, without wars, without suffering, plenty of kindness and honor, plenty of brotherly love where the heart is open and does not have to fear. That new and eternal world provides God, gains God for us by Its victory against malignant and its army, in the Cross of the Gólgota, here in the Earth and the spiritual battle in the spiritual celestial regions, in the eternal dimension. This is the good news. Create You this? He creates, in the Son of God? The kingdom of God comes.

Dear friend, or enemy, God love to him, we learn of Him. Today it is the perfect day to begin to love an enemy. Hágalo a daily exercise. Every day thinks about those people to whom it detests and it prays by them. It changes his life, and those of them. Its circuncisión has begun. 

Soon it looks for his own weaknesses and their failures and prays in the name of Jesus Christ, so that God frees to him of them, soon You you will be a different person, one will not be clear You mismo/a, it will be looked more like Christ. The more far from I and but near Christ, the less load will have to take to Christ and the brothers by each of us. The hour has begun to alleviate the Yoke of Christ. The priesthood with Christ hopes to him. 

… You Take my yoke exceeds, and you learn of me, who I am tame and humble of heart; and you will find rest for your souls: because my yoke is easy, and light my load. Mateo 11:29.

TWO BIBLICAL TEXTS ON THE CIRCUNCISIÓN AND THEIR MEANING.

The two circuncisiones of the town of God, from Abraham, before entering Egypt and entering the Engaged Earth. What mean?

JOSHUA 5.

^2En that one Yahweh time said to Joshua: Hazte sharpened knives, and returns to circuncidar the second time to the children of Israel. ^3Y Joshua was done sharpened knives, and circuncidó to the children of Israel in the col of Aralot. ^4Esta is the cause by which Joshua circuncidó: All the town that had left Egypt, the men, all the men military, had died in the desert, by the way, after they left Egypt. ^5Pues all the of the town that had left, were circuncidados; but all the town that had been born in the desert, by the way, after they had left Egypt, was not circuncidado.  

The town of God, each of us, in its particular history with God, follows the history of the Bible, and therefore Abraham represents in us our beginning in the intimate relation with God. The circuncisión of Isaac represents our circuncisión in Jesus Christ, the loved son of the Father. Therefore this is our will to walk with Christ in humility, denying us in the carnalidad of our mind. After this we entered Egypt, our life in the world under the slavery to the system. We accept and we celebrated the Passover before leaving the world the 14 of Nisan, the day in which we received and we include/understand the sacrifice of Christ and we took Santa Cena, putting the signal of its blood in the threshold and posts of our souls, the temple of God. Soon we left to look for the Promised Earth of the hand of God. The preparation by means of the temptation in the desert, the spiritual growth and the search of which amen to Christ, and his souls that are Engaged Earth. 

^{6Porque the} children of Israel walked by the desert forty years,

Like Christ is attemped forty days in the desert, we also spent a period of test, any more to receive Christ, this symbolic time are the forty years in the desert.

until all the men military who had left Egypt were consumed, inasmuch as they did not obey to the voice of Yahweh; thus Yahweh swore to them that it would not let see the Earth to them of which Yahweh had sworn to its parents who would give it to us, earth that flows milk and honey.

The men military who leave Egypt are our meat, our old man, whom he must die so that we are born again and we confirm in the desert, that we want to be with God after the test.

^7The children of them, who he had made happen in his place, Joshua circuncidó; then they were incircuncisos, because they had not been circuncidados by the way.

Joshua represents the guide who has the same name that Yeshua or Yahshua, teaches the circuncisión to us of our new man, the one who is going to fight every day to overcome enemistad of the meat in the mind.

^8Y when they finished circuncidar to all the people, remained in the same place in the camping, until they healed. ^9Y Yahweh said to Joshua: Today I have cleared of you the opprobrium of Egypt; thus the name of that one place was called Gilgal, until today.

Gilgal (stone circle) the stones are the town of God, that has received the faith and that has confirmed its will of fight in Christ. This place is the dwelling of which they go with Christ. Also it is the place where are Elías and Eliseo, first it represents the Spirit of God and its prophecy on the victory of God on the idolatry and the second represents the disciple who follows Jesus Christ. 

When we have begun the painful work to kill our old man, we remain with Christ until we healed in our mind of this enemistad between the Spirit and the meat until being assimilated and begins in us a new life. Then God says that is cleared of us the opprobrium of Egypt, that is to say that our will is obstinate to the hatred of the system of the world without God.

^{10Y the} children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and celebrated Passover to the fourteen days of the month, in the evening, in the level ones of Jericó. ^11The other day of Passover ate of the Earth fruit, the breads without leavening, and in the same day ears new toasts. ^{12Y the} manna stopped the following day, since they began to eat of the Earth fruit; and the children of Israel never had manna more, but they ate of the Earth fruits of Canaán that one year.

Now the new man, or initiated in his new circuncisión, again celebrates Passover before entering the Earth Promised, in Gilgal, camping of life with Christ, before entering Jericó, our new life and the conquest of the city or soul of an O-Man woman who is going to surrender to Christ, by the Gospel.

Also now the new man, born from the fire of the Spirit in Gilgal, no longer eats the manna, but he eats of the Earth fruit, his soul, that to walk of the hand of Christ, that is to say, receives bread without leavening and ears toasts, passed through fire revelation of the knowledge of the Word of God, pure and direct of which it is the Bread of Life. This revelation is the one that God leaves closed to the mind of incircunciso, the man of the world, or the man that is put under teachers of the organized religion, some churches and groups of sectarian submission who maintain their mind cauterized by the traditions and the orders of men. 

They enter all today Gilgal to construct this city of the stones, that are You with the faith in Christ.

BIBLICAL TEXT KEY OF THIS STUDY

TAKEN FROM STUDY ABRAHAM

GENESIS: CHAPTER 17

THE CIRCUNCISIÓN, SIGNAL OF THE PACT:

^1Era Abram of age of ninety and nine years, when it appeared to him Yahweh and it said to him: I am the All-powerful God; he walks in front of me and I know perfect. ^2Y I will put my pact between me and you, and I will multiply to you in great way. ^{ 3Entonces} Abram postró on its face, and God spoke with him, saying:^ 4He my pact is here with you, and you will be father of crowd of people. ^ 5Y will not be called plus your Abram name, but it will be your Abraham name, because I have put to you by father of crowd of people. ^6Y I will multiply to you in great way, and I will make nations of you, and kings will leave you. ^ 7Y I will establish my pact between me and you, and your descendants after you in its generations, by perpetual pact, to be your God, and the one of your descendants after you. ^ 8Y I will give you, and to your descendants after you, the Earth in which you dwell, all the land of Canaán in you inherit perpetual; and I will be the God of them. ^9Dijo again God to Abraham: As far as you, you will keep my pact, and your descendants after you by his generations. ^ 10Este is my pact, that you will keep between me and your descendants after you: All man among you will be circuncidado. ^{ 11Circuncidaréis}, then, the meat of yours prepucio, and will be by signal of the pact between me and you. ^ 12Y of age of eight days will be circuncidado all man between you by your generations; the been born one in house, and the bought one by money to any foreigner, who will not be of your lineage. ^13Debe to be circuncidado the been born one in your house, and the bought one by your money; and it will be my pact in your meat by perpetual pact.  

The Gentleman confirms to Abraham his pact and he asks to him that circuncide the meat. This meat is not another thing that our carnalidad, the one that is against in our mind to God. This process is for man and woman, because he is spiritual and it imagines in this pact of the circuncisión of prepucio, that is the force of the man of God. By the circuncisión of the skin the spiritual descendants are not obtained, but because one is cut itself in which it opposes God. Of this all we have much and for that reason it is a work that there is to do during all the life with God. 

To the eight days; it means that the person who gives itself to the Gentleman and who begins to walk with Him, he is going to have seven days, that are seven times to walk without circuncidar itself, due to the lack of spiritual maturity and of the knowledge of God. Known it is that number seven symbolizes the totality of a work since God made the creation in seven days, that are times of indetermine duration. Therefore the soul that is of God, after to have grown spiritually, must circuncidar, fight against its own carnalidades and weaknesses, to begin to mature and with time to get to be old spiritual and to serve to God and the fellow. This it is the pact with the town of God; the descendants of Abraham. It vetoes of your earth, your relations. And Christ says,… the one that does not detest its own life, cannot be my disciple… Lucas 14:27.

^{14Y the} man incircunciso, the one that will not have circuncidado the meat of his prepucio, that one person will be cut of its town; it has violated my pact. ^15Dijo also God to Abraham: To Sarai your woman you will not call Sarai, but Sara will be her name. ^ I will bless ^16Y it, and also I will give of her son you; yes I will bless, it, and will come to be mother of nations; kings of towns will come from her.  

Then God blesses the soul on which they want to live on the hand of Him. And Sara will be your soul.

^17Entonces Abraham postró on its face, and was ***reflxed mng, and said in its heart: To man of one hundred years it has to be born son? And Sara, already of ninety years, has to conceive? ^ 18Y said Abraham to God: Hopefully alive Ismael in front of you.  

Abraham doubts that has not seen that without religion of traditions people want to follow God of natural way, and propose, alive Ismael that is a good well-known tradition of religion that keeps your rules with which people create and come.

^{19Respondió} God: Certainly Sara your woman will give to light a son you, and you will call her Isaac name; and I will confirm my pact with him like perpetual pact for its descendants after him. ^ 20Y as far as Ismael, also I have heard to you; I have I will bless to him here, and I will make him fructify and multiply much in great way; twelve princes will generate, and I will make of him a great nation.  

God that is not going to continue being organized religion traditional, clear does not say there is that it will be and it: but:

^21Mas I will settle down my I agree with Isaac, the one that Sara will give you next year to light by this time.  

God prefers that alive people with Him in the freedom and the naturalness, approaching Him of clean heart and without automatism of cults. It was already God very of cults and rules in the days of Abraham.

^22Y finished speaking with him, and raised God to be with Abraham. ^23Entonces took Abraham to Ismael its son, and all the servants born in its house, and to all the bought by its money, all man between the domestic ones of the house of Abraham, and circuncidó the meat of prepucio of them in that one same day, as God had said to him. ^24Era Abraham of age of ninety and nine years when circuncidó the meat of his prepucio. ^25E Ismael its son was of thirteen years, when the meat of his was circuncidada prepucio. ^ 26En the same day Abraham and Ismael were circuncidados their son. ^ 27Y all the men of its house, the servant born in house, and the bought one of the foreigner by money, was circuncidados with him.

^26Si, then, incircunciso will keep decrees from the law, will not be had its incircuncisión like circuncisión? ^27Y the one that is physically incircunciso, but perfectly keeps the law, will condemn to you, that with the letter of the law and the circuncisión you are trasgresor of the law. ^28Pues is not Jewish the one that is it externally, nor is the circuncisión the one that is made externally in the meat; ^29sino that is Jewish the one that is it in the interior, and the circuncisión is the one of the heart, in spirit, not in letter; the praise of which it does not come from the men, but of God.

CONCLUSION:

God loves to us, and in His love it builds to us spiritually. Our mind is by rational nature, and our meat serves to our part animal, but Jesus Christ abre the door to us to be able to dominate all our being: … spirit, soul and body… 1Tesalonicenses 5:23, by means of the circuncisión of the heart in spirit, not in letter. This circuncisión is by own will, the knife is our determination to follow Christ, and our aim, the love of God. To Him we thank to the glory and to send Its Spirit Santo to obtain it, because He is, the “Palacletos� that it sustains to us and it intercedes by moaned us with unspeakable. This it is the spiritual descendants of Abraham, father of nations, symbol of the Eternal Father, Father of the Faith in Its Son Jesus Christ. Circuncidados then, amémonos an the other, because thus all will know that we are Its disciples and we trained the family of the Church of Jesus Christ, Israel de God, Jews and Gentile that has left their race, nation and traditional religion to receive to the Son of the Alive God like our King. To Him it is the glory until the day of the eternity. Christ comes. Amen.
