The video is titled “Open Heart Surgery” and begins with a prayer about being reunited with God. The speaker explains that the title refers to the need for an open heart, not a physical surgery. The heart, in this context, refers to the deepest part of our soul and mind. The speaker discusses the need for God to search our hearts and reigns, which are the depths of our unconscious mind. Our hearts are described as deceitful and desperately wicked, but God wants to perform a surgery to remove sin and impurities. This surgery is compared to the process of circumcision, where God cuts away the extra things in our hearts. The speaker emphasizes the need to break up fallow ground in our hearts and to not sow among thorns, which represent worldly cares and pride. Pride is identified as a major obstacle that needs to be removed from our hearts. The scars of sin are mentioned, which are stored in the unconscious mind. The speaker explains that God desires to heal and save us, but we need to confess our sins and ask for forgiveness. The sacrifices in the sanctuary system are discussed as representations of Jesus’ sacrifice for our sins. The fat and organs that were removed from the sacrifices symbolize the removal of sin and impurities from our hearts. The fire represents purification. The video emphasizes the need for open hearts and the importance of constant communication with God through prayer and reading scripture. The speaker talks about the day of atonement and the need to afflict our souls, which refers to repentance and humility. The process of purification and putting away sin is compared to a surgical procedure performed by God. The video concludes by highlighting the importance of being ready for the final examination and having our characters transformed by the power of truth. Fasting on the day of atonement is mentioned as a practice that helps in this process.
