FAITH FACILITATORS (PART 1): EXISTING WITH 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.“
Each of our physical senses can be exercised to an amazing degree of proficiency. People can be taught to hear better or to see clearer. Some people have an amazing sense of touch. Even the sense of taste can be trained to a marvelous degree of proficiency. In the same way our spiritual senses—our spiritual sight, our spiritual hearing, our spiritual taste—must be exercised if we’re going to have discernment, and this involves conscience.
Conscience must be exercised, otherwise it cannot be a good conscience. And you exercise your conscience when you obey the Word of Yahweh, when you do the things Yahweh tells you to do. Just as a musician develops skill as he practices his music, just as a cook develops skill as she continually prepares meals or an artist develops skill the more he paints—so the believer in HaMashiach develops a keen sensitivity about what is right and wrong as he obeys the Word of Yahweh. A good conscience is one that is exercised.
The Greek word (apeiros) translated “unskillful” in Hebrews 5:13 means “without experience.” The Greek word (gumnazo) translated “exercise” in verse 14 gives us our English word “gymnasium.” The Greeks were great believers in physical exercise. The writer of Hebrews is saying, “Just as you exercise your physical senses and your physical muscles, so you must exercise your spiritual senses and your conscience, for a good conscience is one that is exercised.”
Do you have an exercised conscience? Or do you say, “Well, what difference does it make?” The only way to grow as a believer in HaMashiach, the only way to stand, the only way to be effective is to exercise your conscience and to grow toward maturity in the Lord. I trust that your conscience is an enlightened conscience and that you are growing in your knowledge of the Word of Yahweh. I trust you aren’t living by custom or tradition but by the truth of the Word of Yahweh. It’s a wonderful thing to have a good conscience. Do everything you can to keep your conscience in good shape . Once a good conscience starts to fail, you’re moving toward shipwreck. May the Lord help us to have a good conscience. Shalom!
REMEMBER: You need to exercise your conscience by obeying the Word of Yahweh to have a good conscience.
PRAYER: Sweet Father, thank You for Your word to me today. I receive grace to exercise my conscience by obeying your word in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Grace to delight in doing the Word is released upon you now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
