Gilgal

Just before the Israelites were about to cross over into the Promised Land, they had to pass through Gilgal. This is a place where the Lord "rolls away the reproach of the enemy" as we read in Joshua 5:10: "And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day." (KJV).

Some have translated Gilgal as the "hill of foreskins" this is because all the 2nd generation male Israelites were circumcised. Circumcision is a mark of separation, a distinction between Jew and Gentile, a people consecrated as being holy unto God.

Before God can roll away the reproach, the shame, and condemnation the Enemy has tried to place on God's people, the Lord must circumcise our hearts.

He has to remove that fleshly portion in our lives that for some may might be sensuality, world pleasures, or living independently of God's will for their lives.

Deuteronomy 30:6 says, "The LORD your God will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live" (NIV).

Until we allow the Lord to cut away the fleshly appetites, worldly ambitions or some other defilement, we can't not enter into and fully appreciate the promises He has in store for our lives. After the Israelites were circumcised, they celebrated the Passover.

What is that one thing you must invite the Holy Ghost to cut away? As painful and difficult as it might be, you will enter into a deeper love for God. And the things the Devil accused you of not being will roll away by the sheer force of God's work of purifying your heart. The Devil has nothing to attach himself to your life for it's been cut off!
