Is there a doctor in the house?

This has to be for somebody, because God won't let me alone regarding his people not allowing God completely in. So this one is about allowing God to perform the surgery that we desperately need in order to be healed and perfected.

Heb 6:1-2 "Therefore leaving the principles of the doctrine of Christ, let us go on unto perfection; not laying again the foundation of repentance from dead works, and of faith toward God, of the doctrine of baptisms, and of laying on of hands, and of resurrection of the dead, and of eternal judgement." I started with this scripture because this is the foundation of every born again believer. These are the steps in order for us to attain perfection.

God was dealing with me again on how in order to grow, we must be trimmed, purged, weeded, and purified. All of these processes are uncomfortable to say the least, but are very necessary in order for growth to occur. Naturally speaking, if a plant is not trimmed, it can grow wildly and be overtaken with weeds and eventually looks very unkept and some instances sickly due to certain areas of the plant that have overgrown itself. After this has occurred, the process is many times irreversible; that's why we must address the issue as soon as it begins to occur.

The issue God led me to discover was that many people want to grow up, but they want to grow without the purging process. Everyone wants to be a ship and be their own navigator. People want to be able to say I did it on my own. This shows spiritual retardation. Your outward appearance may be growing, but the mental and spiritual is in a state of flux.

I realize that after a life of doing things on your own (So you think), it's very hard to submit. After all, the only person you ever answered to was self. Why do I now have to submit to anyone? The answer lies in the illustration about the plant. Growth has occurred, but all in the wrong places. Your strong vines that were meant to produce fruit, have coiled and choked the life out of people you come in to contact with. Your leaves that are suppose to lend themselves to the SON, now are in competition with one another in greed trying to soak up the most sun (Pride of Life, Lust of the eye etc.) for themselves (This is a true fact! Plants will move a certain area of themselves to gain sunlight!). Those same vines even wrap around the trunk leading to the root and constrict the water flow to the rest of the plant, disabling it to receive optimal nourishment that it needs to survive. Since there was a lack of purging, guidance, pruning, and trimming, the plant lends its self to a life of eventual suicide.

Do any of us see ourselves in the same predicament? Are we cold and brash with others? Do we try to prefer ourselves as oppose to one another? Do we find ourselves missing something in our lives and try to attain it, but it seems ourselves hold us back? Just like the plant, we are seemingly inwar with ourselves and ironically you aren't winning. The scriptures talk about repentance in Heb 6:1. We must first realize we indeed are a mess. We can see everyone else but when was the last time we looked at self? We must totally forsake that old way of living and turn toward God. When we turn toward God, I promise you things are bound to get lighter because certain things must and are about to come off!

Mark 2:17 "When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, they that are whole have no need of the physician, but they that are sick: I came not to call the righteous, but the sinners to repentance". God must now be you master physician and perform SURGERY. Just like a medical doctor, you must sign release papers in order for them to perform any surgical procedure on you. You must be willing to be healed so to speak. The same with Christ. He desires all of us to be made whole, but He can only perform what we allow. Again, repentance. We must admit we have things in and on us that we are so tired of being bound with. You holding on to a situation for years and years, does not mean it disappears because you give it no attention. It is still there until you confront it and deal with it. God wants to perform the work and is well able to give you a clean bill of health!

Place your trust in Him, for that is the only way to be healed! If you never allow the doctor close enough to give you a shot, how else would you get the medicine you need?! Open your heart, your wounds, your sadness, your regrets, your disappointments, your sin, to God. He knows how to carefully clean and treat the area of affliction and infection. If you really think about it, have you really been living a fulfilling life with these issues by yourself? Why not try God and trust Him to comfort you and heal you by signing over your rights and offering your entire self to the best hands in the business!

Be blessed...
"If you're living like there's no God...You better be right"
