Stay Under The Knife
Contributed by Kirk Devine on Nov 3, 2009 (message contributor)
Summary: This was an illustrated sermon. I was dressed as surgeon and had a table with a white sheet over it to represent an operating table. At the close I had members come up and leave their various issues and leave them on the operating table.
STAY UNDER THE KNIFE
HEBREWS 4:12-13
(The Message)
God means what he says. What he says goes. His powerful Word is sharp as a surgeon’s scalpel, cutting through everything, whether doubt or defense, laying us open to listen and obey. Nothing and no one is impervious to God’s Word. We can’t get away from it—no matter what.
1. Strengthens: support, reinforce
For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword…
2. Sanitizes: disinfect, clean, wash, cleanse
Piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow…
3. Sanctifies: purifies, approves, bless, consecrate
And is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart…
4. Sees: observe, perceive, distinguish
And there is no creature hidden from His sight…
5. Sifts: filter, separate, sort through, examines/ Shows: exposes, reveals, confirms
But all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account.
If you’re dealing with:
A broken heart
Confusion
Anger
Stay under the knife…
Low self Esteem
Family Drama
Messed Up marriage

Childhood Emotional Scars

Stay under the knife…
Whatever you’re going through, all you’ve got to is put it under the knife (Word of God)…. Because God’s Word… (Ps 119:105-106)
