Romans 10:9-10
Romans 2:28-29

Jewish kids back in the day had to go to Hebrew school. Jewish people wanted to make sure that they & their kids hold onto their culture. As Gods chosen people we are Jewish. We are transformed by our mind, Romans 2.
Pslams 51:10. How do I get my heart/ soul circumsized? Romans 10:9-10. Your mouth is the key to fixing your heart. How does that happen?

1) what you put in your mouth. That has an effect on your heart, for example, fasting. When u deny yourself for a spiritual purpose your impacting your soul.

2010 Fast::
 
Jan 2-11 water & juice
Jan 12-21 veg & fruit
Jan 21-31Add fish
Feb 1-7days add chicken

Or
 
Fast from sun up to sun down & only eat one meal. Fast caffeine. Fast complex carbs (bread,pasta,fried food, sweets). Fruits & vegetables only). The Daniel Fast/ Zone Diet.

2) what comes out of your mouth. James 3:2 it starts with ur mouth. James 3 Verse 9-12 there can't be curses & praise coming out of the same mouth. Stop the salt water = lying, insulting, complaining, boasting, gossiping. Praise more!! Don't wait for the feeling to praise, praise weather u feel it or not. The more you say it the more you feel it & mean it.

Good phrases:

Thank You Lord-gratitude
Yes Lord-obedience
Glory to your Name,Lord- Humility
I love you Lord- devotion
Have your way Lord-surrender
Fill me Lord- reliance on Him
Use me Lord- service

Worshipis an act of your will.

A Jewish Christmas

A Jewish Christmas
December 20 2009

Mathew 12:33-37
Romans 2:28-29

We are Gods chosen people. The seed of Abraham, therefore we are Jewish (even if not physically). Jew=believer. (romans2:28-29) As Christians we are more Jewish than Jews b/c Jews do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah. We are more the chosen ppl then the ppl who actually have a physical connection by blood to Abraham. 

Proof u are a Jew:: 
Romans 2:17-24
1) rely on the word (get to a place as a believer where u need the word. Quoting scriptures & expecting things yo come to pass b/c it says so in the bible.) 
2) brag on ur relationship with God. (telling ppl what God has done for u)
3) know his will. 
4) approve of what is superior. (u know right & wrong or better from worse. Look at the world thru the eyes of the word).
5) you are the light of the world. 
-guide for the blind (unsaved)
-light for those in darkness (lost/confused) 
-instructor of the foolish (counselor)
-teacher of infants (babes in the Lord)

Romans 2:24 (Gentiles= ppl who don't know the Lord)
 
Outward circumsicion = All the things that make up our customs/church life. Sacrafice.

Circumcision of the heart = not ur beating heart but your soul. How? By your mouth! Mathew 12:33 (quality of the fruit is determined by the stuff that gets put in you. Mathew 12: 34-35 ( ur heart/soul & ur mouth are connected. If bitterness is in your heart, bitterness comes out). You are a special somebody if u can keep what's on your heart off of your face. Romans10:9-10 your heart is also affected by your mouth. Confession does something to you on the inside. If you say something enough it becomes apart of you. Perfect example as to why movie stars fall in love after acting roles together. Perfect example why the military makes you say things, sing songs, & yes sir weather you feel it or not. That's what the Lord wants to hear, sir yes sir. Start saying yes Lord even when u don't feel it; the more u say it, the more u will mean it. Say the right things to get your heart in the right place. Where u are in your life right now is due to things you have said & spoke over your life in your past. 

Get to a place where we realize our circumcision/relationship with God is not just outward but inward also.

Nxt week Hebrew school =)

Consecration 2010 Jan 7 -Feb 7
(fasting & praying 37 days in the begining of the year to prove flesh does not rule my spirit. Cutting away those things in your life thar make sin look fun.)

The Easy Button

The Easy Button
Dec 6 2009

Your hope should be built on more than just an emotional feeling. Christmas is coming up & weather you feel "christmasy" or not if u look to your calendar it will say Christmas is December 25th & it's almost here. The bible is as such for believers. There ate promises in the bible that God made to us & weather ur feeling the spirtit of God at the moment or not those things will still come to pass.

Don't get to used to our easy buttons because we may become to lazy to put in work towards the covenants in our life. (such as marriage). Technology has moved us to a place where we are all used to things being easy. Over time that can cause us to lose our ability to do the hard things & there are some things that only come with work. 
 
Genesis 17:1-2
The benefit of covenant is worth the challenge. Abrahams covenant belongs to you because you are the seed of Abraham (saved).
Genesis 17:4
Be the father of many nations= the Lord is going to give u something u cannot imagine.
Kings come from you= you will affect government. Influence. Able to leave in the regular world not jus the church/spiritual world
Genesis17:5
He changes your name=changes ur nature (generational curses) & the way people see u.
Genesis17:6
Fruitfulness= what u touch grows. The other person may fail but not you.
Genisis 17:7
For generations= blessings will outlive you. You may have a blessing on your life right now because of a covenant that your grandmother made with the Lord. 
Genesis 17:8
Canaan= land. Posssssion. Permanence. Blessings in the land. (wealth = power; ever person in the bible that did a work for the Lord were wealthy including Jesus. He started rich & It was through his poverty that we could be wealthy).

I will be their God = relationship with 
God

Genesis 17:9-10
Circumcision = sacrafice 
For men the idea of someone coming close to ur personal area with a knife is laughable cuz you don't even wjat a zipper that close alot of times). For some the pricec seems to high. Change the way wevsee sacrafice in an effort to not miss out on our blessings.
