It is what is left behind you after everything else is taken away that counts…and that is your relationship with God and His Son Jesus Christ - which brings a peace that surpasses all understanding…"
Although many of us are reborn children of God, we still somehow do not experience the fullness of that which God has purposed for us. He want to equip us as warriors in victorious living.
If you are a reborn child of God you are automatically a warrior in God's army. However, do you know who your enemy is, what your weapons are, how to use them properly and effectively; do you have a strategy for the battle plan?
In Joshua 5: 8 we read the following: "and after the whole nation had been circumcised, they remained where they were in camp until they were healed."
Not only were God's people preparing to go into battle, they were also circumcised. The Israelites had to remain in the camp until they were healed, and totally restored before entering into battle - wounded and bruised soldiers cannot enter into war.
We as God's children, also need our hearts to be circumcised… before going into battle. We need to be clean before the Lord so that our enemy satan has no advantage or grip on us.
Healing after circumcision does not happen overnight, it is a process, and so it is also with God's children…we as the Church, the Bride of Christ, not only need to be circumcised, but need to be healed, so that we can be warriors of stature, before entering the battle.
