RHEMA 3/25/12 OUR CONSCIENCE: AN ADVANCE WARNING SYSTEM

HEARD: Now the Spirit of the Lord bears witness with our spirit.

Rom 8:12-17 NKJV

Therefore, brethren, we are debtors — not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh. 13 For if you live according to the flesh you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God. 15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear, but you received the Spirit of adoption by whom we cry out, "Abba, Father." 16 The Spirit Himself bears witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs — heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him, that we may also be glorified together.

BEARS WITNESS WITH

NT:4828

summartureo (soom-mar-too-reh'-o); from NT:4862 and NT:3140; to testify jointly, i.e. corroborate by (concurrent) evidence:

KJV - testify unto, (also) bear witness (with).

UNION

NT:4862

sun (soon); a primary preposition denoting union; with or together (but much closer than NT:3326 or NT:3844), i.e. by association, companionship, process, resemblance, possession, instrumentality, addition, etc.:

KJV - beside, with. In composition it has similar applications, including completeness.

TESTIFY

NT:3140

HEARD: It’s amazing. An advanced warning system. To be a warner. (smile... Warner) What you see is shared with understanding.

PIX: I saw the outside boundaries, edges of a puzzle and they were all linked together in proper order.

There you have it, boundaries.

[So Lord You send us warnings to return to safe boundaries?]

HEARD: Yes.

Typo: I typed year instead of yes. This is the year 2012 to return to safe boundaries.

HEARD: A crucified life is the life of exchange.

1 Cor 15:31 NKJV

I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

Phil 1:21 NKJV

For to me, to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Gal 2:20-21 NKJV

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.

HEARD: Comfort. A shelter and a refuge. What I have prepared for you. Wall of fire. To see you clearly. Road ahead. A way to perceive things without worry.

[Lord does that mean that the crucified life results in intimacy with You, the angels, the cloud of witnesses and those that dwell among here as in Zech?]

Zech 3:7 NKJV

If you will walk in My ways, And if you will keep My command, Then you shall also judge My house, And likewise have charge of My courts; I will give you places to walk among these who stand here.

HEARD: Yes.

WORD TO PONDER: YOUR ADVANCE WARNING SYSTEM

Yes beloved ones, your spirit man is your conscience. Before you were born again, you had an evil and defiled conscience, having seared it to where it became dull with layers of scar tissue and without feeling or sensitivity. I took you through years of obedience classes, washing you with My Word and bringing your conscience back to life. During those years I strengthened your weak conscience so your sensitivity to know right from wrong was established. When you are sensitive to your spirit man, you become keenly perceptive, intuitive and knowing. Your spirit man allows you to see completely and become aware to discern the true nature of things.

When your spirit bears witness with My Spirit, this is when your good conscience is pure and undefiled, having been washed. Be very careful to obey the voice of your conscience, your spirit man. Many have turned away and become shipwrecked in their faith. Keep your conscience void of offense beloved ones. This provides a wall of fire, a shelter and refuge for you in the days ahead. When you follow your conscience it keeps you from worry, knowing you have been obedient in Word and deed. Your conscience is your zone of safe boundaries, where you shall dwell in My comfort.

AH: I turned with anointed hands to the following Word to Ponder in my W2P book:

OBEDIENCE WILL QUIET THEIR SHAKING 7/28/07

Beloved one, during the harvest of all that is ripe on the earth, you know all that can be shaken will be shaken. Sometimes threshing the grain from the chaff is a violent process. Do not be caught in the rip tide of those who are being drawn from their faith, from their holdings in My Word. Hold on tight and do not let go of My promises. Walk close to Me and remain obedient to your conscience. Align yourself with My Word and you will walk in peace.

My eye is always on you, you are the very center core of My thoughts and heart to keep you. I watch over every detail of your life. Your faith is important to your stability. I have prayed for you that your faith not fail. Do not give reason for the adversary to reproach and always remember that whatever is not of faith ... is sin.

This is a time for men to acknowledge that what they sow, they reap and the results will teach them to fear Me. They will repent of gambling with their conscience, of stepping over the boundaries of safety and dabbling with carnality. The sooner they stop gambling in unscriptural choices, the sooner the shakings will stop and a brand new beginning is waiting for them with My loving mercy.

Heb 12:25-29 NLT

See to it that you obey God, the one who is speaking to you. For if the people of Israel did not escape when they refused to listen to Moses, the earthly messenger, how terrible our danger if we reject the One who speaks to us from heaven! When God spoke from Mount Sinai his voice shook the earth, but now he makes another promise"Once again I will shake not only the earth but the heavens also." This means that the things on earth will be shaken, so that only eternal things will be left. Since we are receiving a Kingdom that cannot be destroyed, let us be thankful and please God by worshiping him with holy fear and awe. For our God is a consuming fire.

THE WORD SPIRIT IN GREEK

The word spirit is a Greek word meaning a current of air or breath. However there are many types of spirits. The Holy Spirit, the human spirit, angels, demons and the cloud of witnesses. Also according to the Gk, our spirit is the rational and mental part of us that understands and perceives.

OUR SPIRIT

NT:4151

pneuma (pnyoo'-mah); from NT:4154; a current of air, i.e. breath (blast) or a breeze; by analogy or figuratively, a spirit, i.e. (human) the rational soul, (by implication) vital principle, mental disposition, etc., or (superhuman) an angel, demon, or (divine) God, Christ's spirit, the Holy Spirit:

KJV - ghost, life, spirit (-ual, -ually), mind. Compare NT:5590.

BLOW

NT:4154

pneo (pneh'-o); a primary word; to breathe hard, i.e. breeze:

KJV - blow. Compare NT:5594.

SOUL - Our breath, life force

NT:5590

psuche (psoo-khay'); from NT:5594; breath, i.e. (by implication) spirit, abstractly or concretely (the animal sentient principle only; thus distinguished on the one hand from NT:4151, which is the rational and immortal soul; and on the other from NT:2222, which is mere vitality, even of plants: these terms thus exactly correspond respectively to the Hebrew OT:5315, OT:7307 and OT:2416):

KJV - heart (+-ily), life, mind, soul, us, you.

BREATH

NT:5594

psucho (psoo'-kho); a primary verb; to breathe (voluntarily but gently, thus differing on the one hand from NT:4154, which denotes properly a forcible respiration; and on the other from the base of NT:109, which refers properly to an inanimate breeze), i.e. (by implication of reduction of temperature by evaporation) to chill (figuratively):

KJV - wax cold.

Our spirit has a voice, just like God’s Spirit has a voice. Our spirits abide in heavenly places and can actually speak to us in first person grammar using words like “I”. Hearing our spirit comes TO us in the same way as hearing God’s still small voice, angels, the cloud of witnesses and also demons. All are voices that speak and we have no idea what they are going to say until it is spoken.

This is this same spirit that speaks in tongues. Our spirit bypasses our mind, our will and our emotions. Yes our spirit perceives, and understands, but it doesnt make decisions or think about things like we do with our minds. Our spirit bypasses our natural minds. Our spirit is the part of us that perceives. The more we become in tune with our spirit, the more perceptive we become.

Eph 2:4-8 NKJV

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

1 Cor 14:2-3 NKJV

For he who speaks in a tongue does not speak to men but to God, for no one understands him; however, in the spirit he speaks mysteries.

1 Cor 14:4 NKJV

He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself.

OUR CONSCIENCE

Bob Jones says that our conscience is our spirit man. I searched this out in the Greek and I could find no Greek word that overlapped the words spirit with conscience - where the words are mentioned as separate entities, or the same. The fact that they are not mentioned together, I feel points that they are two different words used to mean the same thing: our spirit. Further evidence of this is in the connection that in the Gk definitions, our spirits are our rational soul and mental disposition, and our conscience is our moral consciousness to understand and perceive.

The Greek word conscience means our co perception, or moral consciousness. The word comes from these foundational words: to see completely, become aware of, be informed of, to see, to know, to discern, to perceive.

CONSCIENCE

NT:4893

suneidesis (soon-i'-day-sis); from a prolonged form of NT:4894; coperception, i.e. moral consciousness:

KJV - conscience.

BE AWARE OF

NT:4894

suneido (soon-i'-do); from NT:4862 and NT:1492; to see completely; used (like its primary) only in two past tenses, respectively meaning to understand or become aware, and to be conscious or (clandestinely) informed of:

KJV - consider, know, be privy, be ware of.

WITH

NT:4862

KJV - beside, with. In composition it has similar applications, including completeness.

SEE

NT:1492

eido (i'-do); a primary verb; used only in certain past tenses, the others being borrowed from the equivalent NT:3700 and NT:3708; properly, to see (literally or figuratively); by implication (in the perf. only) to know:

KJV - be aware, behold, can (+not tell), consider, (have) know (-ledge), look (on), perceive, see, be sure, tell, understand, wish, wot. Compare NT:3700.

APPEAR

NT:3700

optanomai (op-tan'-om-ahee); a (middle voice) prolonged form of the primary (middle voice) optomai (op'-tom-ahee); which is used for it in certain tenses; and both as alternate of NT:3708; to gaze (i.e. with wide-open eyes, as at something remarkable; and thus differing from NT:991, which denotes simply voluntary observation; and from NT:1492, which expresses merely mechanical, passive or casual vision; while NT:2300, and still more emphatically its intensive NT:2334, signifies an earnest but more continued inspection; and NT:4648 a watching from a distance):

KJV - appear, look, see, shewself.

HAS SEEN

NT:3708

horao (hor-ah'-o); properly, to stare at [compare NT:3700], i.e. (by implication) to discern clearly (physically or mentally); by extension, to attend to; by Hebraism, to experience; passively, to appear:

KJV - behold, perceive, see, take heed.

WHAT SCRIPTURE SAYS ABOUT OUR CONSCIENCE

AGREEMENT WITH DISOBEDIENCE

AGREEMENT WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT

ONE’S CONSCIENCE CAN BE WEAK AND BECOME DEFILED

1 Cor 8:7 NKJV

However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled.

1 Cor 8:12-13 NKJV

But when you thus sin against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, you sin against Christ.

1 Cor 10:27-11:1 NLT

If someone who isn't a believer asks you home for dinner, accept the invitation if you want to. Eat whatever is offered to you without raising questions of conscience. 28 (But suppose someone tells you, "This meat was offered to an idol." Don't eat it, out of consideration for the conscience of the one who told you. 29 It might not be a matter of conscience for you, but it is for the other person.) For why should my freedom be limited by what someone else thinks? 30 If I can thank God for the food and enjoy it, why should I be condemned for eating it?

So whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God. 32 Don't give offense to Jews or Gentiles or the church of God. 33 I, too, try to please everyone in everything I do. I don't just do what is best for me; I do what is best for others so that many may be saved.

But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

ONE CAN HAVE A SEARED CONSCIENCE

1 Tim 4:1-3 NKJV

Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, 2 speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their own conscience seared with a hot iron

Titus 1:15-16 NKJV

To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving nothing is pure; but even their mind and conscience are defiled. 16 They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.

ONE CAN HAVE A SHIPWRECKED CONSCIENCE

1 Tim 1:18-20 NKJV

This charge I commit to you, son Timothy, according to the prophecies previously made concerning you, that by them you may wage the good warfare, 19 having faith and a good conscience, which some having rejected, concerning the faith have suffered shipwreck, 20 of whom are Hymenaeus and Alexander, whom I delivered to Satan that they may learn not to blaspheme.

ONE CAN HAVE AN EVIL CONSCIENCE

Heb 10:22-23 NKJV

Let 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.

OUR CONSCIENCE BEARS WITNESS

Rom 2:12-16 NKJV

For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without law, and as many as have sinned in the law will be judged by the law 13 (for not the hearers of the law are just in the sight of God, but the doers of the law will be justified; 14 for 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, 15 who show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and between themselves their thoughts accusing or else excusing them) 16 in the day when God will judge the secrets of men by Jesus Christ, according to my gospel.

Rom 9:1-3 NKJV

tell the truth in Christ, I am not lying, my conscience also bearing me witness in the Holy Spirit, 2 that I have great sorrow and continual grief in my heart.

ONE’S CONSCIENCE CAN BE KEPT WITHOUT OFFENCE

Acts 24:16 NKJV

This being so, I myself always strive to have a conscience without offense toward God and men.

ONE CAN HAVE A GOOD CONSCIENCE

1 Tim 1:5-7 NKJV

Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good conscience, and from sincere faith, 6 from which some, having strayed, have turned aside to idle talk, 7 desiring to be teachers of the law, understanding neither what they say nor the things which they affirm.

1 Tim 1:18-20 NKJV

Heb 13:18-19 NKJV

Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.

1 Peter 3:15-17 NKJV

But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear; 16 having a good conscience, that when they defame you as evildoers, those who revile your good conduct in Christ may be ashamed. 17 For it is better, if it is the will of God, to suffer for doing good than for doing evil.

ONE’S CAN HAVE HIS CONSCIENCE CLEANSED

Heb 9:13-15 NKJV

For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh, 14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

ONE CAN HAVE A PURE CONSCIENCE

1 Tim 3:9-10 NKJV

Holding the mystery of the faith with a pure conscience.

2 Tim 1:3 NKJV

I thank God, whom I serve with a pure conscience, as my forefathers did...
