Faith And Your Conscience – Rhapsody Of Realities TeeVo Devotional October 6th

(Condition Your Heart By The Word)

TO THE BIBLE: 1 Timothy 1:19 GNB
“…Keep your faith and a clear conscience. Some people have not listened to their conscience and have made a ruin of their faith.”

LET’S TALK
From our opening scripture, we see the connection between faith and a good conscience. You need both for a balanced and effective Christian life.

Your conscience is the voice of your spirit. Your conscience can be trusted, but it’ll only be dependable if your spirit is educated with the Word of God.

Some people do terrible things; they participate in acts of wickedness, violence and bloodshed. And their conscience allows them to do such things.

Why? It’s because of the condition of their spirits. Their conscience has been educated to permit such evil and wickedness. Their conscience has been “…seared with a hot iron” (1 Timothy 4:2).

But if your spirit is conditioned by the Word of God, you’ll have the voice of God in your heart, and it’ll be different.

The Bible says out of your heart—your spirit—are the issues of life (Proverbs 4:23). It’s therefore important that you train your spirit with the Word to be a sure guide. Never allow negative thoughts and ideas—thoughts of bitterness, wickedness, evil, violence or terror—grow in you.

Colossians 3:16 says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom….” Store the Word of God richly in your heart, and you’ll be able to bring every negative thought into captivity to the obedience of the Word (2 Corinthians 10:5). Hallelujah!

Speak:
The Word of God has imparted wisdom to my spirit and renewed my mind to think divine thoughts, thoughts that are consistent with God’s eternal purpose and will for my life! I bring forth good things from within my spirit today, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
