Every reproach tries to silence you before men and stifle your witness for God. But today, as you read this, I see God putting an end to every reproach in your life in the name of Jesus. The reproaches of Egypt, the world and those things the devil have heaped on you are rolling away now by your contact with my word; a change is taking place now. I see something leaving your life now; troubles are rolled away from your life now. You will carry them no more contempt, no more derision; no more shame, and no more stifling of your voice, you are now in Gilgal. God has made an end of your past shame, pain and distress in the mane of Jesus.
I like to examine Gilgal a little further. I have observed that Gilgal was where God instructed Joshua a circumcise the children of Israel that were born in the wilderness but were not circumcised. This circumcision symbolized a number of important landmarks in the lives of the people. First, it represents evidence of salvation (our circumcision is of the heart). Not being circumcised meant that the children of Israel still carried the identity of Egypt along with them. They could not really lay claim to being God’s people since circumcision was evidence of covenant relation with God. Gilgal Your Passover Place.
