A WORD FOR THE MEN IN THE BODY OF CHRIST
A CIRCUMCISION OF THE HEART A word spoken by Kay Suggs .. my wife gave me this word that had been spoken at her church.. and It made a deep impact in my life..
I am doing a mighty circumcision of the heart. There will be much weeping… Will you allow me to do this work of cutting away the flesh? For in cutting there is pain. Circumcision is covenant, but my men have broken covenant with me.
It is the hour for you to stand, I am calling forth an alarm, for I am doing a quick work. It is time for the laying down of the childish ways and things of the past and to take the sword of the spirit to uncircumcised flesh. It is time for growing up and standing up in the Priesthood … My TRUE CALLING upon your life. I shall make it plain to my men what I am asking of them. There shall not be any questions or confusion, for I shall bring clarity. For they have been so consumed with themselves they are not even repentant for their lifestyles and how they have ignored me, their Father. They have made excuses, and invented ways to convince themselves that all is well, but all is everything but well. They will not allow me access to cut away those fleshly things, they have missed me and my anointing. They have ministered out of their own knowledge and understanding. They shall weep for what they have missed, then stand on their feet. Weep and stand. STAND UP… For you have seen, but have not seen… but, YOU SHALL SEE. . And, you will SEE in the days ahead if you will heed my word. Things will not be as they were before.. not many years hence you shall see.
And you shall not allow another one who has been placed in your care to go into captivity. You shall stand as men for those you have been called to cover. You will experience no more setbacks or be blinded by the ways Satan steals. For you will see your strongest defense is on your knees. For you shall see… and I will place a fire and such a zeal, such a desire for those I have given to thee, thy family and my people. You have known in part how to fight in the enemy realm, but you have not used it in your own household, you have not taken your manhood seriously in your own domain. I am calling you into right balance, and the place I intend for you. All religious walls that have held you back from ministering in My power will crumble. I will give you eyes to see the bigger picture and all else will fade. My love will consume you, and you will see the ultimate goal as more important. You will walk in a greater dimension of forgiveness as you step out of rules into reigning. The changes and fruit will be quick and dramatic as you yield to my spirit in this area..
I am placing the mantle upon thee, and it won’t be reversed as it has been before, … the men weak in the spirit and the women strong. I give you the choice, for you have not been an example of strength and those close to you have suffered. For I am calling you into right order, I am loosing authority upon you as the one I have called and to those I have placed in your care even now, saith the Lord, put away childish selfish pastimes, lay down the toys of boys, in trade for a true place of power and position. Authority to set your house in order, to set your life in order, no longer walking in bondages.. for I begin a work, and so shall it be carried out correctly, but you must give up and yield to my ways and not the ways of the flesh, taking the easiest way. The easy way has opened the door for abdicating position in my Kingdom, giving it away as Esau gave away his birthright for something temporal.
Your thoughts will no longer be just thoughts on how you will do this or that trying to figure it all out in your own strength, but your thoughts will be turned into fervent prayer as you lay ALL before me for every concern. You will no longer whine and whimper in your heart at what is ahead, but will look at the task in store as a good soldier, you will look and only see new opportunity and challenges and not problems. You will see things from Kingdom perspective.
For, in a short time a closure will begin and an opportunity for a new beginning. If you yield to My spirit and not your own desires you shall see the manifestation of my Glory and your choices will determine whether you will exhaust yourself and drain yourself of my spirit, whether you will make the choice to feed yourself of useless pastimes of thinking as you have in the past, or to be the son I have called you to be. You make the choice to return to your own vomit so to speak or to come into full manhood. You have not seeked and searched for me with your whole heart. You have not made me your all- in- all. You have other desires above me. You will rise as the eagles and soar, if you will but make me your all in all. You will sink and be useless to yourself and to all who would benefit from my spirit abiding within you, if you choose the path of ease and chose to ignore my pleas for change within your heart. Come and let us reason together.
For I have placed much within you, and I have been waiting patiently for you to yield to me and to not make your disappointments your abode, but that you would come and abide in me, receiving and speaking my words of life. Stop living in what you see and live in the unseen.. a place of faith and power. I will blow a new fire into your bones and the embers will become a flame so to speak. You shall come out of the charred place into the place of power and authority I have ordained for you. I come with a flaming sword, cutting away religion and false beliefs, cutting away fleshly desires and goals. The fire of my presence years to blow into your spirit rekindling burning embers into a fiery blaze of passion for Me and for those I have given you charge over.
I will loose a love within you .. for my men have not known HOW to love me or to give protective love as a shepherd for ones I place before them, they have not known HOW to cover my people in the spirit; and have relied on flesh and their own understanding; they have not known or cared to learn how to cover their wives, daughters, or sons. Their wives have been the strong, with my heart of intercession. My men have passed off intimate time with me and prayer to the women, believing the lie it is mostly for the women to pray. I would say, sanctify yourselves today, fast and pray for more of me and tomorrow we will do great exploits, there shall hardly be a memory of yesterday, for such a complete work I will do.
I bring you to the end of something so you will enter into the new I have for you, but this time, it will be in MY strength and not yours. You will no longer be choppy or ill at ease, but will begin to flow in my spirit. … and it will be as it were a heaviness that will fall upon you, but this heaviness will cause you to be lifted up in my spirit… a weighty anointing that will be apparent. It will be a new flow which brings EASE… even that will come as an added anointing enabling you to carry it out by my spirit. You shall begin to feel EVERY WORD come down with a weight, you shall have words with WEIGHT, and that is how my word will be delivered, if you will but yield to my ways and not the ways you have gone before, leaning on what you know and even mocking in your heart those who are relying on me, and saying why bother .. God does not hear anyway.. and ignoring the words of those who are trying to be strong in Me in the midst of storms, bringing discouragement to them in their turmoil.
For my every word is important, you shall speak with a new anointing with its’ purposes fulfilled; every word fruit filled. There will come a fierceness of the word.. new and powerful authority to break yolks.. you will become steadfast… standing in a place with authority without wavering. As a General so to speak, to lead the men and women in these days to come. I have sent others in the past to speak this, to remind you of your name in ME and upon your place, but you have not entered into the seriousness of the calling.
There is a wave of my spirit coming, a newness, old things will be washed away in the new thing I desire to do in my men… my men will be seen as men and not as boys doing kid’s games, playing with kid’s toys…for this is a serious hour and my men have not taken their places seriously. Changes are coming. Things that have appeared dead will come to life, with MY LIFE leading. There will be new revelation, there will be a unity and standing together and not working apart, for this will be needed in the coming days. This new blessing will have My heart and not one of condemnation. You will walk and speak in love and compassion toward yourself and others.
The Father’s and Mother’s I have called in the Faith will be working as ONE. No longer will they be separate, no longer will jealousy and fear rule in your hearts. For all jealousy will disappear as you lean on me and receive my anointing. There will be immediate changes, and a new birthing beginning after this encounter, a birthing that will bring about great change, but your anointing will decrease if you do not heed my word, if you choose to become bitter and stay in Egypt, if you choose to remain in the childhood state that has become a comfort for you. A new fire and zeal will come upon you as you covenant with me in your heart to leave the old behind. Despondency and the spirit of unbelief and hopelessness will consume you again as it has in the past if you do not give all to me and release self-seeking ambitions. As you seek me first all these things shall be added unto you, all that you have desired.
Yes, you have left many things of the past, but the desire for pleasure and fame remains. It will consume you again as it has in the past if you do not give all to me and release self-seeking ambitions. If your passion is not for me, and what is on MY heart, your heart will be given to other obsessions. Leave Egypt behind, my son… leave behind all that will hold you back, I desire that your load be lightened and not carry more weight into the new place I desire for you. Lighten your load in all areas and I will enlarge your tent. For you have been holding all you hold dear back, for they are connected to you by spirit. But, you must first lay down the childish dreams and ideas so my plan and purpose may come to pass. For the enemy would love to keep you as a child, the enemy would love to keep you in a place of isolation and disinterest, and there you will remain if you do not open up and allow my spirit to do the work I have desired. You have layed down the tools I have placed in your hands, time with me, my word, good works for selfish desires. The very thing you have been lacking is ME. You have forsaken ME and have replaced ME with a spirit of self pity and complacency. Sitting in the dust will not accomplish that which I desire to do in you and through you.
Be open to where I want to send you, for there is much joy and purpose in this place. Come and receive the riches I have for you and release the security blanket of childhood play, self pity and laziness behind. I am bringing you out (of Egypt) to bring you in (the the Promised Land). I desire to bring you out with silver and gold. You will not leave Egypt empty handed.
