The Shabbat is made for man. It is intended to enhance your operations and re-energize you for the next week. There is no problem with worshipping on Sunday because you can worship anyday but there is a problem with disobeying the command of Yahweh to rest on the Shabbat. Even our Lord Yahushua didn’t leave us such example to disobey the Shabbat as commanded by Yahweh. He rather corrected human addendum to the Word. Beloved, may the rest of Yahweh become your present hour reality this Shabbat and always in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
My soul, wait thou only upon God; for my expectation is from him. Psalms 62:5 (KJV)
When it stops being Yahweh only, your expectation will be frustrated. Why? Because Isaiah 42:8 says, “I am the Lord; that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images.” Except you let Him have it all, He’s not interested at all! Anything you desire, and for which you have an alternative source, makes Yahweh withdraw. He is a jealous Yahweh! He withdraws when anybody comes on the scene to help Him. So, He warns us in Exodus 20:4-5, “Thou shalt not make unto thee any grave image, or any likeness of any thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth. Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me.” Graven images represent personalities, certificates, self, etc. Every time it stops being Yahweh alone, you have missed it.
Anyone else, anything else, any other group of people besides Yahweh, is an image – a graven image that sends men to the grave. “Thou shalt not make…” So, you are the one who makes it. Any likeness of anything (human or things) that is in heaven above or that is in the earth beneath, you shall not bow to. Yahweh sees your choice for any alternative as hatred for Him. Every time you have an alternative outside of Yahweh, you have missed the best of life! All those godfathers and godmothers you have are your real problems! Yahweh will never interfere in any area of your life where you have something or someone to whom you’re looking up to.
In Matthew 6:22 Jesus said: “The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.” If your body is full of light, the Gentiles will come to your light, not you going to them! Whatever you exalt as your merit is your demerit with Yahweh. Discredit it right now. Let’s look to Him as our only source in order to excel. Yahweh IS (not was) a jealous Yahweh (see Deuteronomy 5:7-9). He has not changed. If Yahweh is God, please serve Him. If Baal is your god, then go to him. You cannot serve two masters – you will need to love one and hate the other. Choose therefore who you want to serve. Every time you go after other gods, the anger of Yahweh is kindled against you. So, instead of securing favour, you secure His wrath (see Deuteronomy 6:13-15). If Yahweh can’t give you that thing, forget it, you don’t need it! If He can’t do that thing, let it remain undone. If He cannot handle it, nobody else should try. So, leave it there, and wait for Him.
I plead with you, withdraw from those alternatives! Those graven images are digging your graves for you! Hear what Jeremiah 17:5-6 says: “Thus saith the Lord; Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from the Lord. For he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, in a salt land and not inhabited.” Friends, withdraw! Settle down and watch what the Lord will do. No one has ever had Yahweh in his company and failed. Never!
REMEMBER: Where there is any alternative to the Almighty, the might of faith cannot be seen.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I ask for forgiveness for any alternative that has developed in my heart. From now it is only You in my life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: From today, I disconnect you from anything forming a god in your life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

Your family has just escaped the scourge of the economic quaymire of this season. I prophetically place you and your family into the covenant climate. You shall not know any form of lack and want this season. I decree abundance into your life and family from this day. Miracle money on daily basis becomes your experience for He daily loads us with benefits. Welcome to a stress-free zone of life where we engage divine partnership for earthly affluence. Receive grace to key into this wisdom in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
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!

I see victory over marital delay in your life. It is your turn to be celebrated and this season shall not expire until you are celebrated. That embargo is broken finally over your head. That charm just spoilt. That verdict just got annulled now. There is a new verdict and that is from the throne of grace. It is saying that your time of celebration has come. Your marriage and wedding shall be celebrated this season. Receive it now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
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.
Conscience attaches itself to the highest standard that the person knows. As we grow in our spiritual life, our standard gets higher and higher. When we first meet the Lord, we have many things to learn. As the light begins to shine into our hearts, we see the cobwebs and the dust, and we begin to clean things up. The more knowledge you have about Elohim and the more knowledge you have about the grace of Yahweh, the better your conscience will function. This is why we must read the Word of Yahweh, exhort one another and seek the light from the Holy Spirit. When Yahushua spoke to the people in our text, their consciences came alive. You see that it is the word of HaMashiach that brings the conscience to life. Before they met HaMashiach, the consciences of these crowd of people never bothered them at all. They would stone this woman to death but then the Word spoke and one by one, their consciences began convicting them. It takes the Word of Yahushua to maintain a good conscience.
In I Corinthians 8 Paul made it clear that knowledge and conscience go together. The consciences of some people don’t bother them because they don’t have the knowledge that should enlighten their consciences. Some people do not have any light; they have darkness—the darkness of superstition and ignorance. When John Knox was preaching the Gospel in Scotland and seeking to reform the church, Queen Mary, who had a different belief, opposed him. She said to him one day, “My conscience is not so.” John Knox replied to Queen Mary, “Conscience, Madam, requires knowledge, and I fear that right knowledge you have none.” Beloved, laziness in the Word is both the obliteration of your faith and a good conscience. Selah!
REMEMBER: It takes the Word of God to produce a good conscience.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive the grace to stay in the Word until I shine a good conscience in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: That lack of interest for the Word in your heart is cursed now in your life in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

You have escaped this season of financial dearth by quality covenant walk. Beloved, you are not in lack because of the economy. No! Not everyone is scratching to survive now. Some are thriving and you can be one of them. I decree that scarcity dies in your life from this day. I decree your covenant senses comes alive from this day. You shall begin to walk in supernatural victory in your finances from this day in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men. Acts 24:16 (KJV)
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:
A good conscience effectively keeps us on course. “As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus, when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge some that they teach no other doctrine, neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions rather than godly edifying which is in faith, so do. Now the end [object] of the commandment is love out of a pure heart, and of a good conscience, and of faith unfeigned, from which some, having swerved, have turned aside unto vain jangling” (1 Timothy 1:3-6). Paul warned Timothy to stick to the doctrines of the Word of God. They help us develop a good conscience, and a good conscience will keep us on course. Verse 6 uses the phrase “have turned aside.” This phrase means they have missed the mark, they have swerved, they have gone off course. You see, God has a course for each of us, and we had better stay on that course. If we don’t stay on course, we won’t achieve the purposes God has for us. A good conscience keeps us from going off course to fables and foolish arguments.
A good conscience will help you to have victory. First Timothy 1:18,19 says, “This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy, according to the prophecies which pointed to thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare, holding faith, and a good conscience, which some, having put away concerning faith, have made shipwreck.” First you go off course, and then you wreck the ship. We are in a battle. We must fight a good warfare, a warfare against the world, the flesh and the Devil. Those who have faith and a good conscience can fight the battle and win the victory. Nothing gives you greater courage as you face the battles of life than a good conscience.
A good conscience helps Us Be Honest. Hebrews 13:18 says, “Pray for us; for we trust we have a good conscience, in all things willing to live honestly.” The word translated “honestly” means “beautifully, seemingly, fittingly.” The Christian life is to be a beautiful life. But if you have a good conscience, you will be able to live an honest life, a beautiful life. People will look at you and say, “There is something about him or her that is really lovely.” It’s unfortunate when believers in HaMashiach don’t pay their bills. It’s unfortunate when believers have a bad reputation in the business community. If a person has a good conscience, he will live honestly, pay his bills and keep his promises. He will be true to his contracts because his conscience will help him to live honestly.
A good conscience Keeps Us Witnessing. In I Peter 3:14-17 we discover that a good conscience is effective to keep us witnessing. “But and if ye suffer for righteousness’ sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled, but sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear, having a good conscience, that, whereas they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good manner of life [behavior] in Christ. For it is better, if the will of God be so, that ye suffer for well-doing than for evil-doing.” Obstacles can become opportunities. When people are making trouble for you, it is an opportunity to witness if you have a good conscience. If you’ve done evil, your conscience will rebuke you and convict you, but if you are doing good, your conscience will strengthen you. There is nothing like a good conscience to keep you strong when people are lying about you.
A good conscience is an effective conscience. It keeps us on course, keeps us victorious, keeps us honest and keeps us witnessing when the going is tough. The person who abandons a good conscience begins to swerve off course and to move towards the dangerous reefs of life, and before long he is shipwrecked. Selah!
REMEMBER: A good conscience keeps you on course, victorious, honest and witnessing.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, I thank You for Your word to me today. I receive the grace to maintain a good conscience in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: I decree that you will not go off course in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!

I see victory over that health challenge. It is not a sin to be challenged, but it is anti-covenant to be defeated and to be a victim. You are billed to come out of every confrontation a more-than-a-conqueror entity. That health battle ends today in your favour. I command that affliction checked back to hell now or back to sender. By all means, I decree your victory in your health. Be instantly made whole now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen! Please share your testimony!
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.
Now see three unbeatable team that as a believer in HaMashiach who desires to have victory in all life’s confrontations must carry. In 1 Timothy 1:5 (AMPC), we read ‘Whereas the object and purpose of our instruction and charge is love, which springs from a pure heart and a good (clear) conscience and sincere (unfeigned) faith.’ You see LOVE, GOOD CONSCIENCE AND FAITH are the three unbeatable spiritual team any time any day. The good news is if you can secure love, then you have already won because where there is love, then the conscience will be clear and good. You see, you cannot manifest love outside of a pure heart and a good conscience.
The New Testament speaks of many different kinds of conscience: a pure conscience (see 1 Timothy 3:9); as well as a defiled conscience (see 1 Corinthians 8:7), a good conscience (see 1 Timothy 1:5,19) and an evil conscience (see Hebrews 10:22), a seared conscience (see 1 Timothy 4:2), sinful conscience (see Hebrews 10:2), and a weak conscience (see 1 Corinthians 8:12). We shall continue to explore the conscience tomorrow. Let us wrap up by saying that a good conscience is the result of a mind renewed by the Word of Yahweh. It is impossible to have a good conscience without renewing your mind on the Word of Elohim. Sinful and evil conscience is handled at salvation but weak conscience can be strengthened by feeding on the Word. Defiled and seared conscience is a function of willfully living in sin and unrighteousness after salvation. Take responsibility today for a good conscience and continue to walk in victory. Shalom!
REMEMBER: The absence of a good conscience is the shipwreck of faith.
PRAYER: Dear Heavenly Father, thank You for Your Word to me today. I receive grace to maintain a good conscience in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
PROPHETIC RELEASE: Every agenda of the devil to keep you in weak, defiled and seared conscience expires by fire now in the name of Yahushua HaMashiach Amen!
