Do We Have a Seared Conscious?

We are at the point in time that we need to really examine our lives and make sure we do not have seared consciousness. Are we willing to be corrected, chastised and rebuked? As scripture says in 1 Timothy, we are sons. Sons are corrected. They are dearly loved. God loves those that He rebukes.

  • Do self-evaluations - concrete judgments

  • Trust in His word to sanctify our heart - Matthew 5:8

  • Be honest with yourself. If you say you have no sin within yourself, you are lying 

  • Confess your faults one to another. This takes faith.

  • Do not be entangled with world

  • If your conscious is too easily wounded, don't dismiss your conscious or override conviction

  • If you are violating your conscious, you are sinning

  • We can't order our lives by emotions

  • We need to live in peace, love an joy

  • We cannot let a faulty conscious lead us into sin

  • In latter times so may depart from the faith, speaking lies in hypocrisy

  • Searing is like a burning closure in your heart

  • It becomes insensitive to moral truth - Romans 1

    • Like a surface of a cut that has become numb to the pain

    • Is your mind numb to the pain? to what's happening? seared with the lies of the demons and devils?

  • People are being seduced into these false teachings - getting their ears tickled by half-truths. They are being sucked in. They are departing from the faith of truth.

  • Help us TO HELP OTHERS.

  • Sanctified by the word of God and prayer - sanctified by fellowship

  • Stay in good teaching

  • Paul believed that people with a pure conscious are always remind you of what is good and evil (don't go that way or this way) - People who violate their conscious than violate their faith so BEWARE!  We want answered prayers!

  • We must stir up the gifts to help us (praying in tongues, etc.)

    • When you know your IDENTITY in Christ, you should not be ashamed of your testimony! You have been bought with a price. 

    • Are you ready to suffer for the cause of Christ?

    • We must share the word of Truth and be willing to pay the consequences.

    • Gal 2:20 - I am crucified with Christ, neverless I live! Christ IN ME. Romans 6

Romans
Chapter 6

1What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

2God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?

3Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?

4Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

5For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection:

6Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin.

7For he that is dead is freed from sin.

8Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with him:

9Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 

Isaiah
Chapter 25

1O LORD, thou art my God; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.

2For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.

3Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.

4For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.

5Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.

6And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.

7And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.

8He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it.

9And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

10For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.

11And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.

12And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
