Pastor Bell's Words To Live By

Since our spirit is comprised of our conscience, which it the ability to be aware of:- life, our surroundings and sin, we must never become complacent. The menace of complacency is apparent all around us. When our hearts are not totally submitted, we will do things and justify them to ourselves and to those around us. And there are those whose consciences have been seared as with a hot iron. These are the folks mentioned in Romans 1:21ff, who change God’s order to satisfy their own lusts and desires.

Their consciences have not developed and hence their intuition and need for true communion with the creator and their fellow men has been put on hold.  This was the case for Achan, in Joshua 7. His conscience, that is his ability to be aware of what God was doing in the locality, was seriously damaged. So he openly disobeyed the instruction of his commanding officer and spiritual leader and caused a great defeat for his people. Similarly today, there are people in our fellowships who fraternise with the enemy. They cannot keep their mouths and volunteer information to the detriment of the whole community.

There is a saying that ‘loose lips costs lives’ and we must be aware that all double agents eventually get killed.

So today, ask The Holy Spirit to show you how to sharpen your conscience so that you become more aware of and become a part of what God is doing in the earth now.
