An evil conscience is one that is perpetually conscious of sin and failure, and typically expects punishment. It is a conscience that is under condemnation.
1 John 1:7 7But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. Notice that for us, believers who “walk in the light”, it is not our confessions that cleanse us from all sin, but the blood of Jesus!
The bottom line is that the Holy Spirit never convicts you of your sins. He NEVER comes to point out your faults.
I am not looking at what I deserve. I am looking at what Jesus deserves.
Knowing that you are forgiven of all your sins will give you the power to reign over every destructive habit and live a life of victory!
It is the presence of the Lord in your life that makes you a success! From Genesis 39:2, it is clear that success is not what you have, but rather who you have! Joseph literally had nothing materially, but at the same time, he had everything because the Lord was with him. The material things that you have accumulated or are feverishly trying to amass do not make you a success. It is the presence of the Lord in your life that makes you a success!
The Bible records that whenever the Lord was with them in battle, the children of Israel were never defeated, and every military campaign ended in overwhelming success.
Genesis 39:2 – “The Lord was with Joseph, and he was a successful man...
The more you focus on beholding Jesus in all His loveliness and the less you struggle to earn things by your own merits, the more you become safe for greater success in your life.
Jesus is with me, so everything I do will succeed.
Jesus Christ has already delivered all believers from the covenant of law which condemns.
We may not have all the answers, but we can have full assurance that the negative circumstances that we may sometimes experience are not the works of God, neither are they punishments for our sins. When we have this confidence that God is for us and not against us, we can believe for restoration, breakthroughs and good things to happen to us.
The presence of Jesus is all that you need.
God has ordained the Holy Communion as a key channel of health and wholeness for His people.
Righteousness is not about right conduct. It is a gift from God to us through Jesus.
You must come to the place where you know and believe that all your sins are forgiven, that there is no sin that will ever disqualify you from God’s blessings, that there is no sin that will ever send you to hell, because you are forgiven and saved eternally.
Remind yourself that the Holy Spirit was sent to convict you of your righteousness apart from works. The devil will use the law as a weapon to condemn you.
John 1:17, KJV 17For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
Grace is personal and came as a person – the person of Jesus Christ.
Jesus knew that unless the man had the assurance that all his sins had been forgiven, he would not have faith to be healed.
