What’s this e-book about ? The following chapters were originally produced as single-sheet topics for individual or group study. Increasingly it became obvious that they needed to be bound together as one volume so that flow study
could be achieved. Flow study
means that the topics can be studied either individually or better still, in sequence, thus forming a flow
of truth. For this reason the subjects have been grouped together as much as possible in similarity. Most of the topics are present hour
truths that call us to deeper understanding and more radical commitment in applying them. It is intended that they will convict us to aim for maturity of spirit and soul. If we take them to heart they will be like fresh wine, bringing joy to our spirit-man! Take time to seriously consider the truths here and allow the Spirit of Truth to lead us into all truth!

Chapter 1
Circumcision of the heart
THE FORMATION OF OUR CHARACTER. Jesus is the exact representation
(= character) of the Father’s nature according to Hebrews 1:3. The meaning of the word is a tool used to engrave
. So if we’re going to be conformed unto Jesus we need to let God engraven our soul and life so that it will become just like His Son’s.
God uses the circumstances of life to form us into His shape: He is the potter we are the clay. This begins when we are Born Again and made holy
. The word holy
simply means to be set apart
.God takes us and sets us apart to make us into the form or shape He desires. This is why the formation of our character is important. We need to cooperate with the Lord in becoming more like Jesus. Read what Paul says in 2 Cor. 7:1.
THE HEART. In Scripture the heart is linked to our inner-man, our spirit-life. This is why we are told to guard our heart. (Prov. 4:23). Our human character is formed by our upbringing, education, experiences of life, etc. But our Christian character is molded by the Holy Spirit. Our spiritual union with God brings forth holy (=separated
) fruit in our lives.
So it can be said that our Christian character is grown and nurtured within our spirit-man, the heart. Therefore whatever is in our heart will determine our character. What comes out of our heart will reveal to others what our character is really like! We need to control what goes into the heart. Self-discipline, spiritual regulation and guarding our inner life are ways of protecting the development of the inner man.There is a need to re-order our life so that: The spirit is king. The soul is servant. The body is slave.
The formation of the Christian life is a lost art in modern Christianity. The Hebrews, the early Christians and even those at the time of the Reformation, all had a sense of developing the Inner Life
. John Wesley had such a method of it that his followers were even called Methodists
. His early assembly of Christian friends called themselves The Holy Club
(= the separated ones). The attitudes needed to bring about this Christian Formation of the inner man can be found in the Beatitudes (Matt 5:3-8) and in the list of the Fruit of the Spirit (Gal. 5:22).
REVELATION IS NEEDED. Revelation is needed in order for us to see we need change. Without God showing us our needs we are lost. So many of us try to keep on pleasing Him by reverting to religion and works. Once revelation comes and we see the need to be changed and revived our next step is to obey. It is here that so many Christians fail. They don’t fail because of insincerity or lack of zeal; they fail because they look to works
rather than to the person of Jesus.
When revelation does its convicting work, our part is to look away to Jesus the author and finisher of our faith, not to some method, work or religious thing that will bring us into further bondage. We will grow in character by learning to look upon Jesus and to behold Him. The better we know Jesus the more our spirit-man will yearn to be like Him. This is an automatic process based on God’s spiritual laws.
Remember that the work of change going on within us is not our work, it’s God’s work! Our work is to bend and to be pliable to Him.The Adamic nature that fights for control over our life has already been put to death on the Cross. The life that is now within us is the Seed that the Father placed there through the New Birth. It is our duty, privilege and even joy, to cooperate with our Father as He brings this seed to full maturity in us!
BE RENEWED IN THE SPIRIT OF YOUR MIND (Eph. 4:22-24). Throughout the centuries, but particularly in the 20th, Christians have tried to renew their minds using all sorts of spiritual disciplines and methods. Most have failed – because they were based on man’s works to try to improve himself. God doesn’t want to improve us, He wants to transform us!
Therefore the only place we can find such change is before His throne. Certainly there are things we have to do and habits we have to confront and put away.
