THE HORRORS OF SIN (4): ABSENCE OF PEACE

There is no peace, saith the Lord, unto the wicked.
Isaiah 48:22 (KJV)

One of the first thing that happened to Adam at the fall was the lose of peace. Peace is that state of tranquillity spirit, soul and body. Peace is the absence of war both within and without. Peace is a state of perfect fellowship with Yahweh where man’s obedience is confirmed. At the fall, the first thing that happened to Adam was that he discovered he was afraid. There was a looming sense of conflict, war and contempt spiritually that made him hide from the presence of the Lord. The presence that he used to enjoy before was now making him afraid. Surely and truly, there is no peace unto the wicked. The wicked is the person that lives in rebellion against the Word of Yahweh. The wicked is that one that scorns obedience to the Word of Yahweh. Sin destroys the presence of Yahweh which guarantees peace and leaves us with war both within and without. You cannot truly be at peace with sin alive in you. One of the greatest treasures in this life is peace. Once, there is no peace, then every other thing will breakdown; health, marriage, career, business, etc. Literally, if there is war, everything shuts down. That is how destiny shuts down by sin. When there is no peace, life begins to shut down. So, peace is an inevitable asset in the race of life.

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (1): CONTENTMENT

HOW TO CONQUER THE GOD OF GOLD (1): CONTENTMENT

And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a man’s life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Luke 12:15 (KJV)

The hold of the god of gold is very strong in this generation that it demands siting down to see how to be delivered from its grips. When you go after the god of gold, you become a fool. Beware of covetousness! I Timothy 6:3-8 says, “3 If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness? 4 He is proud, knowing nothing, but doting about questions and strifes of words, whereof cometh envy, strife, railings, evil surmisings, 5 Perverse disputings of men of corrupt minds, and destitute of the truth, supposing that gain is godliness: from such withdraw thyself. 6 But godliness with contentment is great gain. 7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. 8 And having food and raiment let us be therewith content.” Contentment is the answer to covetousness. Until you are contented, you will remain covetous. Godliness with contentment will lead to the realms of great gain in life. Covetousness is ungodly. It is a sin! It corrupts godliness. But contentment will discipline and subdue it. Covetousness is one of the major ministries of the god of gold. Beloved, if you can arrest the god of gold, your beauty will emerge from heaven! The moment money is what determines your mood, you’re already enslaved by it! Look, if money is your reason for seeking Yahweh, you’ll be disappointed, because the scriptures cannot be broken.

FAITH ENHANCERS (4): PRACTICE THE WORD

But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves.
James 1:22 [KJV]

John Wesley, the founder of the Methodist church, said that many people who are in the church are not really saved. They have just mentally subscribed to certain truths. They have agreed that certain things are true in their minds, but not in their hearts. Wesley was referring to head faith versus heart faith for receiving salvation or the new birth; but the same is true concerning healing, receiving the baptism of the Holy Spirit, or an answer to prayer.

FAITH ENHANCERS (2): A HEART OF LOVE

For in Jesus Christ neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision? but faith which worketh by love.
Galatians 5:6 (KJV)

There was a time a lawyer came to Yahushua and asked Him, “Which is the great commandment in the law?” And Yahushua answered in Matthew 22:37-40: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Every plan of Yahushua for you anchors on the statement “Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all thy heart.” If this is missing, then your foundation is not in place. It is the foundation for a fruitful life as a believer in HaMashiach.

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.

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 DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (2): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR REDEMPTION

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (2): BY KNOWING THE REALITY OF OUR REDEMPTION

18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, … 19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
I Peter 1:18-19 (KJV)

What is it that makes you a believer in HaMashiach? What is it that makes you different from other people that claim to be calling on Yahweh? The difference is that the believer in HaMashiach is redeemed by the precious blood of Yahushua HaMashiach which was shed on the cross. The Greek word rendered redeemed in our text is ‘lutroo’ meaning to ransom. To ransom is to pay for the release of someone; it is to pay money demanded for the return of a captured person; it is the act of freeing from captivity or punishment. In the Garden of Eden, Adam sold humanity to the captivity of Satan and his agents, then humanity was condemn to hell as the devil. Yahweh came down in the person of Yahushua HaMashiach to redeem man. Having paid in full, you are now redeemed. What are the implications of our redemption? This is very critical for you to understand because it will just automatically put you over the dominion of the devil and his agents. The implications of our redemption includes:

HOW DOES YAHWEH-KIND OF FAITH COME? (1): BY KNOWING THE INTEGRITY OF YAHWEH’S WORD

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.
Psalms 138:2 (KJV)

Faith is a function of the knowledge of Yahweh. You cannot exercise faith beyond the level of revelation of the Lord Yahushua that you have. Psalm 9:2 (KJV) says, ‘And they that know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, Lord, hast not forsaken them that seek thee.’ This follows that if you don’t have faith in Yahweh, it is the proof of your bankruptcy of the knowledge of Yahweh. You cannot Know Yahweh and not trust Him. One aspect of the knowledge of Yahweh that helps you to function in highest kind of faith is the knowledge of the integrity of the Word of Yahweh. When we talk about integrity, we talk about the infallibility, unbreakability and reliability of the Word of Yahweh.
