HEARING GOD FOR MYSELF
Conscience:
The Voice of Your spirit
Part 2
I Corinthians 14
10There
are, it may be, so many kinds
of voices in the world, and none of
them is without signification.
Romans 8
Spirit himself beareth witness
(communicates) with our spirit, that we
are the children of God:
16The
Romans 9
1I
say the truth in Christ, I lie not, my
conscience also bearing me witness
(communicates with) in the Holy
Ghost
God’s Spirit
Talks
directly
to
My spirit
Conscience
Greek:
Suneidesis (soon-i'-day-sis)
Co-Perception or to perceive together
I Corinthians 6
17But he that is joined unto the Lord is
one spirit.
Conscience
ONLY FOUND IN THE NEW TESTAMENT
What is Conscience?
Conscience is the voice of the
your spirit communicating the
influence of the Holy Spirit
Romans 2
14For
when Gentiles, who do not have the
law, by nature do the things in the law,
these, although not having the law, are a
law to themselves,
15Which show the work of the law written
in their hearts, their conscience also bearing
witness, gk.-therefore their thoughts the
mean while accusing or else excusing one
another;)
2 types of Conscience
• Good
• Evil
Good Conscience
Good – (gk.) Noble, Honorable, affecting
the mind agreeably, comforting (peace),
confirming (bears witness)
VOICE OF BORN AGAIN HUMAN SPIRIT
Evil Conscience
Evil – (gk.) Full of labors, annoyances,
hardships, pressed and harassed, bringing
toil, causing pain and trouble
VOICE OF GUILT
(comes from LAW: self-righteous, i.e..
Pharisees)
I Peter 3
20Which
sometime were disobedient,
when once the longsuffering of God
waited in the days of Noah, while the
ark was a preparing, wherein few,
that is, eight souls were saved by
water.
I Peter 3
21The
like figure whereunto even
baptism doth also now save us [not
the putting away of the filth of
the flesh(evil conscience-full of
labors/self-righteous), but the answer
of a good conscience toward God,
(my spirit being alive)] by the
resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Romans 8
13For
if ye live after the flesh, ye shall
die: but if ye through the spirit (by
listening to your conscience) do
mortify (kill off) the deeds of the
body, ye shall live.
Galatians 5
16This
I say then, Walk in the spirit (carry on in life
according to your conscience), and ye shall not
fulfill the lust (voice) of the flesh.
17For the flesh lusteth against the
spirit(conscience), and the spirit(conscience)
against the flesh: and these are contrary the one
to the other: so that ye cannot do the things
that ye would.
Galatians 5
18But
if ye be led of the spirit (influenced by
listening to your conscience), ye are not
under the law.
19Now the works of the flesh are manifest,
which are these; Adultery (unfaithfulness),
fornication (any sex outside of marriage),
uncleanness (diluting God’s agenda/will),
lasciviousness (you have no brakes),
Galatians 5
(giving anything more power in
your life than God), witchcraft ( Gk.-
20Idolatry
“pharmekia”-abusing medications and
drugs), hatred (hostility), variance
(constantly arguing), emulations (idolizing
man), wrath, strife, seditions (treason,
back-stabbing), heresies (party or sect
divisions),
Galatians 5
(ill will), murders, drunkenness,
revellings (wild partying), and such like: of
the which I tell you before, as I have also
told you in time past, that they which do
such things shall not inherit the kingdom
of God.
21Envyings
Galatians 5
22But
the fruit of the spirit (the result of listening
to and acting on your conscience) is love
(agape), joy (calm delight), peace (quiet
prosperity), longsuffering (gk.-fortitude),
gentleness (usefulness), goodness (lifestyle of
good), faith (calling those things which be not as
though they were),
23Meekness (being teachable), temperance (selfcontrol or discipline): against such there is no law.
Galatians 5
24And
they that are Christ's have crucified
the flesh with the affections (gk.emotional influences) and lusts (voices).
25If we live in the spirit (by your
conscience), let us also walk in the spirit
(by your conscience).
Evil Conscience
Evil – (gk.) Full of labors, annoyances,
hardships, pressed and harassed, bringing
toil, causing pain and trouble
VOICE OF GUILT
(comes from LAW: self-righteous, i.e..
Pharisees)
Hebrews 10
1For
the law having a shadow of good things to
come, and not the very image of the things, can
never with those sacrifices which they offered
year by year continually make the comers
thereunto perfect.
2For then would they not have ceased to be
offered? because that the worshippers once
purged should have had no more
conscience of sins.
Hebrews 9
11But
Christ being come an high priest of
good things to come, by a greater and
more perfect tabernacle, not made with
hands, that is to say, not of this building;
Hebrews 9
12Neither
by the blood of goats and calves,
but by his own blood he entered in once
into the holy place, having obtained
eternal redemption for us.
13For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and
the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the
unclean, sanctifieth to the purifying of the
flesh:
Hebrews 9
14How
much more shall the blood of
Christ, who through the eternal Spirit
offered himself without spot to God,
purge your conscience from dead
works to serve the living God?
Hebrews 10
19Having
therefore, brethren, boldness to
enter into the holiest by the blood of
Jesus,
20By a new and living way, which he hath
consecrated for us, through the veil, that
is to say, his flesh;
21And having an high priest over the house
of God;
Hebrews 10
22Let
us draw near with a true heart in full
assurance of faith, having our hearts
sprinkled from an evil conscience, and
our bodies washed with pure water.
23Let us hold fast the profession of our faith
without wavering; (for he is faithful that
promised;)
