Open Soul Surgery

by Danny Murphy

“I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.” Hebrews 10:16

Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a medical procedure called Open Soul Surgery? I can picture the surgeon, Dr. Lord, instructing the team. “Today, we’re going to open up Mr. Smith, infuse his heart with the Ten Commandments, and etch the rest of God’s laws into his mind. His old ways of thinking will be gone forever. Mr. Smith is going to walk out of this hospital feeling like a brand new man.

“His self-centeredness will be replaced by a willingness to lose his life for the sake of someone else. He will be able to resist the temptations that have plagued him for most of his adult life. He will have the faith to actually walk on water or move a mountain if need be. After this operation, he will be inspired, empowered, and enabled to be every bit of the man he was created to be.”

But really, how does God put His laws into the hearts and minds of His children? Most Christians believe that the way to get more of God into their hearts and minds is to go to church, listen to a sermon, and read and study the Bible. Also, it’s nice to do a good deed once in a while. There’s certainly nothing wrong with any of that.

Is there something else that people can do to become more like God? Yes. An affirmation is an assertion that something exists or is true. Believers have the power to plant affirmations founded on Scripture into their own minds. Words of Destiny teaches readers how to do that.

Words of Destiny is available on Kindle from Amazon.  If you found this reading worthwhile, you'll probably like the book as well. It has examples of affirmations based on scripture. The ebook only costs $.99. Check it out.
