                     The Master Surgeon


My child, the work I do in you is not the work of the world.  I see those
things that must be cut out.  Those things that hinder and those things that
cause you to react in ways you do not understand - they must come out of you
for you to walk forward in My will for your life.  Trust Me with the knife
as I am the Master Surgeon.  I can cut those cancerous ways out of your
being and make you new again.

You will see a change when you turn to Me for help.  Some say that leopards
can't change their spots.  This is true, but I can change them if it is My
desire!  It is neither by your might nor by your power, but it is by My
Spirit.  So let Me cut out the cancer in your soul.  Let Me cut away the
malignant growth.

Let Me cleanse the deep and infected wounds and remove all traces of
gangrene.  Don't you know that gangrene comes from the lack of blood to
living tissue?  Let Me apply the blood of My Only Begotten Son to your
deepest of wounds.  Let Me apply the balm of Gilead. Let Me give you the
heart transplant you so desperately need.  Let Me inject My DNA into the
depths of your being.  Watch as you are transformed from glory to glory!

Do not fret if this takes multiple surgeries.  You are indeed going from
glory to glory.  This is a process, beloved child. I know exactly how much
you can really take at any given time.  I will bring you into My operating
room when I know it is the precise time--not too soon--not too late.  I
will bring you in as many times as it takes to cut away the deadness of your
wound.  I will only cut as deep as I know that you can recover, and then I
wait until you are truly ready again.  This kind of work takes time.  Do not
worry about your schedule or how far along you are in the process.  I Am
familiar with all your ways.  You truly can trust Me.  Let Me touch that
wound and bring restoration as you have never imagined.

Bind yourself to My Son.  Bind yourself to My will.  Bind your body to the
perfect work of the cross.  I will loosen the enemy's strangle-hold.  I will
skillfully cut away his influence and remove his talons from the death-grip
they have had on you.  Trust Me.  All of the rejection and fear and demonic
oppression will no longer hold you back from My very best for you!  I will
never abandon you.  Though your earthy father and mother forsook you, I
never will.  I will bring you near and draw you to Myself.   My arms will
never drop you.  None can steal you from My embrace.  Go to sleep and
breathe deep from the depths of the well of My love for you.  Rest, My love.
Be still and know that I Am your God and your Father.  When you awaken from
your slumber, I will have made a permanent change in you as I have replaced
your wound with My comfort, My love and My desire for you.  Let My will be
done in you, My precious earthen vessel, as it is in heaven.  Trust Abba to
care for you in the way that I know best.
