"Reconnecting the Heart of Man, back to the Heart of Father-God, through the Prophetic Song of the Spirit..." 
"Got 'Perfect' Love?"

"Uncircumcision", like "Circumcision", is self-centeredness or selfishness.  It desires nothing more than to retire, or separate itself, yet hear continually "what Christ has done for me" or "what 'God' is saying specifically to me".  Ironically, a few of the things that it is interested in doing is going to work, saving for retirement, worshiping natural family, worshiping money, and engaging in time-consuming, expensive hobbies which provide it with entertainment and amusement; because, hey, "Let us eat, drink, and be merry; for tomorrow, we are going to die anyway," right?  (*King Solomon said this after choosing to take to himself a thousand different wives and concubines.)  But there is no supernatural manifestation of the resurrection life of Jesus Christ through it!  It is "all bark, no bite".  "Uncircumcision" is only interested in its own personal, "spiritual development"; claiming it is undergoing some vague "healing process" or "work in progress", that it is (seemingly) always "in process" of having to accomplish something through which it will be able to "heal" or restore itself from its past.  But this desire to control or "micro-manage" its own life, and the lives of others, is simply the manifestation of the spirit of fear, associated with its own self-righteousness; and therefore, it will also choose to fixate on observing "times and seasons", worshiping "times and seasons".  But its past is all that it is, really, ever-focused on.  It remains a victim of the wounded pride of its own self-righteousness, regarding its past.  "Uncircumcision" can't stand rebuke, reproof or correction; because, from its own point of view, such wouldn't be "a good faith confession". "Uncircumcision" is so blind, spiritually, that it can't see how self-righteous and self-absorbed it really is; refusing to gather and fellowship with the Body or brethren, because of its attitude of, "I have God (and 'God's money').  I don't need you."  Yet, we continue to troll the internet, looking for something from someone, anyone, to tickle or scratch our itching ears?  Wait, I thought we "didn't need anyone, but God"?  There is a major difference between desiring... continually, selfishly... only to hear "what Christ has done for me" or "what 'God' is saying specifically to me"; versus, discovering what Christ has done AS ME and the present reality of our union with the Father, through identification with the Lamb as "bone of His bones, and flesh of His flesh".  One puffs up, producing pompous pride, arrogance and separation from the brethren; while the other has reproduced through it the very Love that hung on the Cross, demonstrating itself both toward its own brethren, and then toward the rest of the whole world.


Galatians 5: 6, 13-16a; 6: 15 (KJV)
6 For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision; but faith which worketh by love.
13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh,
but by love serve one another.
14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour
[*brother] as thyself.
15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
16 This I say then,
Walk in the Spirit...
15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision, but a new creature.

Ephesians 5: 29-32 (KJV)
29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh
[*BUT WE DO!]; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:
30 
For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.
31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
32 This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.

1 John 2: 18, 19 (NLT)  [*Please Note: there is a major difference between "going to church" versus gathering together for fellowship!  John, here, writes to people who gather regularly for fellowship with one another.]
18 Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the last hour has come.
19 
These people left our churches, but they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left, it proved that they did not belong with us[**There was no true love... "perfect love"... for the brethren!**]

1 John 2: 18, 19 (AMPC)   [*Again, please note: there is a major difference between "going to church" versus gathering together for fellowship!  John, here, writes to people who gather regularly for fellowship with one another.]
18 [k]Boys (lads), it is the last time (hour, the end of this age). And as you have heard that the antichrist [
he who will oppose Christ in the guise of Christ] is coming, even now many antichrists have arisen, which confirms our belief that it is the final (the end) time.
19 
They went out from our number, but they did not [really] belong to us; for if they had been of us, they would have remained with us. But [they withdrew] that it might be plain that they all are not of us[**There was no true love... "perfect love"... for the brethren!**]
