1 Timothy 4:2 KJV
Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron;

THE BOTTOMLINE, MEN HOLD  ONTO ALL FORMS OF SINS BY SIMPLY IGNORING THEIR CONSCIENCE AND LYING TO THEMSELVES!

SPIRITUAL FOUNDATION!

Romans 12:2
[2]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.

OBSERVATION ON THE WORLDS CONDITION!

Have a read it’s interesting https://www.facebook.com/share/197qrSP4oM/

The question I ponder is, why would anyone cling to any part of the world just  described? And fervently defend their position in it!

Remember, holding onto and abiding in any part of the world’s wisdoms, identifies you as a citizen of the world and as such, guilty by association; meaning, even if you’re not practicing or involved in any of these sins; simply by not condemning them, but as well in being silent, you’re condoning these actions! And  condoning them, as a citizen, makes them a sin in your life!

These facts bring home this truth. Believers should not be in any shape or form, conforming to remaining as citizens of the world, but learning how to spiritually claim their citizenship in heaven as a reborn spirit who abides in the light of life (salvation)!

COMMENTARY!

Where common men feel conscience only as something vague and inarticulate, a flavour, a sting, a foreboding, the obligation of work; the constraint of affection, like Isaiah believers should hear the word of the Lord, clear and decisive on matters of policy, and definite, even to the details of method and style.

If there be the glory, the purity as of fire, of God’s Presence, to awe, there is His unceasing inspection of us, there is His interest in the smallest details of our life, there are His fixed laws, from regard for all of which no amount of religious sensibility may relieve us.

In conscience, men are defective by forgetting either the sublime or the practical, neither halves of our conscience can endure by itself. If we forget the first, we may be prudent and for a time clever, but will also grow self-righteous, and in time, self-righteousness means stupidity as well.

If we forget the second, we may be very devotional, but cannot escape becoming blindly and inconsistently immoral. Hypocrisy is the result either way, whether we forget how high Yahewa is or whether we forget how near.

OBSERVATION!

It is the terrible necessity which comes back upon men, however engrossed or drugged they may be, to pass their lives in moral judgment before themselves.

A debate to which there is never any closure, in which forgotten things shall not be forgotten, but a man “is compelled to repeat to himself things he desires to be silent about, and to listen to what he does not wish to hear, yielding to that mysterious power which says to him, Think.

One can no more prevent the mind from returning to an idea than the sea from returning to a shore. With the sailor, this is called the tide; with the guilty, it is called remorse.

God upheaves the soul as well as the ocean.  prophecy, with its Divine freight of truth and comfort, rises into the lives of men.

COMMENTARY!

What is this questioning? Nothing holds away. Nothing stills, and nothing wears out? It is the voice of God Himself, and its insistence is therefore as irresistible as its effect is universal.

That is not mere rhetoric which opens the Lord’s controversy: “Hear, O heavens, and give ear, O earth, for the Lord hath spoken!”

All the world changes to the man in whom the conscience lifts up her voice, and to the guilty Nature seems attentive and aware.

Conscience compels heaven and earth to act as her assessors because she is the voice, and they are the creatures of God.

OBSERVATION!

In this hour of extreme danger, the people are waiting on Jehovah with great pains and cost of sacrifice. They pray, they sacrifice, they solemnise to perfection.

But they do not know, they do not consider; this is the burden of their own offense. To use a better word, they do not think.

They are God’s grown-up children (Isaiah 1:2) – children, that is to say, like the son of the parable, with native instincts for their God; and grown-up- that is to say, with reason and conscience developed.

And the key word is righteous. A word many miss! Many fail to abide in as they believe all that is needed is God’s love!

Yes, God’s  love is important, but we must learn spiritually how to be presentable to our Saviour and King of Kings!

Take the teachings and words of Yeshua from the Holy Spirit and gather all its understanding and knowledge to utilize the gained wisdom and build a strong personal relationship with Yeshua, who as our interceder through our personal relationship, will groom us to be spiritually righteous and presentable in our Heavenly Father’s eyes!

We find may guiding teachings in Matthew 5:6-8
[6]Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.
[7]Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.
[8]Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

CLOSING OBSERVATION!

We will gain much in the upcoming posts as they will be focused on bringing information to build on our gifts and presence with Yeshua and Yahewa as we prepare ourselves spiritually for the future!
