FAITH ENHANCERS (1): A GOOD CONSCIENCE (D)

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.
Acts 24:16 (KJV)

To wrap up on conscience, we are going to see how that it takes exercising your conscience to maintain a Good Conscience. A good conscience is exercised. Paul told Felix that in our text. Our conscience, like our muscles, must be exercised. If our conscience lies dormant and is not exercised, then it becomes an evil conscience. Hebrews 5:13,14 describes this: “For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.”

FAITH ENHANCERS (1): A GOOD CONSCIENCE (C)

And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
John 8:9 (KJV)

Today we are going to see that it takes light from the Word of Yahweh for us to have a good conscience. A Good Conscience Is Enlightened. A good conscience is taught by the Word of Yahweh and guided by the Spirit of Yahweh. Romans 12:2 (KJV) says, ‘And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.’ For us not to conform to the system and standards of this world, we must renew our minds with the Word of Yahweh. An unrenewed mind cannot produce a good conscience – impossible. Constantly renewing our minds with the Word is the cure to weak and defiled conscience. The Word strengthens our conscience. It also cleanses it (see Ephesians 5:26). While salvation deals with a sinful and evil conscience, renewing our mind with the Word of Yahweh is the answer to a weak and defiled conscience. When all of these wrong types of consciences are done away it, a pure and good conscience emerges.

And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.

Today we are going to see how a good conscience helps us to be effective in our faith walk. Let us outline ways a good conscience effectively helps faith:

FAITH ENHANCERS (1): A GOOD CONSCIENCE (A)

Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
I Timothy 1:19 (KJV)

Conscience in our text is the Greek suneidesis which means co-perception – that is accompanying moral consciousness and awareness. The conscience is the soul as distinguishing between what is morally good and bad, prompting to do the good and shun the bad, commending one, condemning the other. The Conscience is moral consciousness. There is a good conscience and a bad conscience. A good conscience is having the morale of what you are doing based on the Word of Yahweh. The conscience is the motive behind the action. Why does the Bible talk about faith and then a good conscience? Faith is acting on the Word of Yahweh. For instance, the word says concerning your finances, bring the tithe into the storehouse and I will open the windows of heaven and pour you a blessing. When you pay your tithe, you are demonstrating faith in Yahweh and His Word. But you know, you can pay your tithe not because you believe Yahweh and his Word but because you want your pastor to notice you especially in places where tithe cards are kept. Paying your tithe with that conscience of being held in high regard by the pastor and everyone that will see your tithe records is a bad conscience which negates the blessing that should follow in that action that should have been of faith. In other words, an act of faith without a good conscience cancels the reward or product of that act of faith. That is why when you miss a good conscience, you make a shipwreck of faith.

HOW TO PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK (2): BY ACTING ON THE WORD

HOW TO PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK (2): BY ACTING ON THE WORD

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed.
Luke 17:14 (KJV)

Faith is not a mystery. Faith is responding in obedience to the Word of the Lord – the Bible. Stop struggling to believe; just behave the Word and you commit the one that spoke it to perform. Do you know Yahweh has exalted his Word above all His name? Psalm 138:2 says, “I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.”. One of the things that cannot fail in life is the Word of Yahweh – the Bible. If you can find what is written and act on it, you can rewrite your story. As a believer, you are not helpless and powerless. Faith is the force that makes the almightiness of Yahweh available at your instance. The process of producing proofs is get what is written, activate it by speaking to yourself, devil and Yahweh, receive it by acting out your side of the deal. Every word of Yahweh gives you opportunity of a response.

HOW TO PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK (1): BY CONFESSION

HOW TO PUT YOUR FAITH TO WORK (1): BY CONFESSION

For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
Mark 11:23 (KJV)

There is the law of faith that you must learn today. This law of faith states that CONFESSION OF THE PROMISES OF YAHWEH COMES BEFORE POSSESSION OF THE PROMISES. We must learn this law if we are going to be successful. I boldly declare and confess Yahweh’s Word, then and only then do I possess the promised blessing or benefit. I make my lips do the work. I give the Word its place. I take sides with the Word. If I side in with the disease and pain, there is no healing for me. But I repudiate the disease and the sickness with my words, which are an expression of my faith in Yahweh’s Word. My confession gives me possession.

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (7): BY KNOWING THE AUTHORITY IN THE NAME OF THE LORD YAHUSHUA

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (7): BY KNOWING THE AUTHORITY IN THE NAME OF THE LORD YAHUSHUA

17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16:17-18 (KJV)

We should know that authority as a reality in our own lives. The authority you have in the Name of Yahushua is just as though some wealthy man gave you the power to use his name in an unlimited capacity. What effect would it have if he gave you a legal document? What if he said to use this legal document in order to supply every one of your needs? What if you could do anything you wanted to do in that man’s name! Well, Yahweh has given us the power of attorney to use the Name of Yahushua. This means we have power in that Name over Satan and all the gates of hell. Yahushua said, “. . . In my name … they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover” (see Mark 16:17,18). Yahushua said, “… whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you” (John 15:16). We have authority to use that Name. The Name of Yahushua carries authority on this earth. It is not a matter of faith, but it is a matter of knowing your legal rights in HaMashiach and taking your rightful place as a son or daughter. It is a matter of taking your place in carrying out Yahushua’s will in the earth. Getting us to cooperate with Yahweh is the biggest problem!

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (5): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF THE INDWELLING PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (5): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF THE INDWELLING PRESENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
I John 4:4 (KJV)

Of all the mighty truths connected with redemption, this is the apex: Yahweh Himself, after He recreated us and made us new creatures and made us His own, is actually making our bodies His home! When you are born again, it is more than an experience. The Holy Ghost, the Third Person of the Godhead, a divine Personality, comes to live in you. In fact, the Bible even goes so far as to say that Yahweh Himself is living in you. 2 CORINTHIANS 6:16 says, ‘16 … for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell IN them, and walk IN them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.’ Yahweh no longer dwells in the man-made Holy of Holies. Through the new birth, our bodies have become His temple.

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (4): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS

For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.

II Corinthians 5:21 (KJV)

This area of righteousness is one of the major arsenals of the devil against the faith of most believers in HaMashiach because they lack the understanding of our righteousness in HaMashiach. Firstly, at new birth, you were born righteous because you took after your father. It is same DNA in your father Yahweh that runs in you. Yahweh is righteous and that nature of righteousness is what you were born with (see 1 Peter 1:23; John 1:13). At new birth, you are not trying to be righteous, you were born that way. The challenge for most people is that this nature of righteousness is only in your spirit because man is a spirit which has a soul and lives in a body. Your soul/mind was not born again. Your body was not born again. So without educating your mind with the word of Yahweh and disciplining your body, you can never manifest this righteousness practically (see Romans 12:1-2; I Corinthians 9:27). In Yahushua HaMashiach you are perfect, righteous and holy. You are complete in Him (see Colossians 2:10). You must educate your mind and discipline your body to conform to this new nature in your spirit. Sometimes, you may fall short but as soon as that happens, confess your sin and fall back in line with that your nature of righteousness.

FEAR IS FAITH IN REVERSE

FEAR IS FAITH IN REVERSE

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
Job 3:25 (KJV)

In a way, everybody has faith. When you believe and confess things not consistent with scriptures, you have faith in the devil. Faith in the devil is called fear. So fear is simply faith in reverse gear. There is power in faith, in believing. Yahushua told the centurion,” …Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee.” (see Matthew 8:13). Believing is not something you always like to do, or always feel like doing. It’s a decision you make. Just as faith is a powerful force, there is also a force opposed to faith called fear. Fear is the reverse gear of faith. It is actually faith in the devil. Fear is faith that the wickedness of Satan is superior than the goodness of Yahweh. Fear is faith that Yahweh is helpless in the face of the cruelty of the wicked and that evil is more powerful than good and must occur.
