Let us all come forward and draw near with true (honest and sincere) hearts in unqualified assurance and absolute conviction engendered by faith (by that leaning of the entire human personality on God in absolute trust and confidence in His power, wisdom, and goodness), having our hearts sprinkled and purified from a guilty (evil) conscience and our bodies cleansed with pure water. (Hebrews 10:22) If they could have provided perfect cleansing, the sacrifices would have stopped, for the worshipers would have been purified once for all time, and their feelings of guilt would have disappeared. (Hebrews 10:2) Then I heard a strong (loud) voice in heaven, saying, Now it has come–the salvation and the power and the kingdom (the dominion, the reign) of our God, and the power (the sovereignty, the authority) of His Christ (the Messiah); for the accuser of our brethren, he who keeps bringing before our God charges against them day and night, has been cast out.) (Revelation 12:10) When dealing with any problem in life, we want to get to its root. Stress is one of the roots. The world has found out that many sickness and diseases are linked to a root called stress. Fear is a deeper root than stress and they have found out that in many cases, stress is preceded by fear but it is still not the deepest root. The biggest and deepest root exists in the spiritual realm, and that can only be destroyed by the power of Jesus finished work. Your conscious is that which is within you that knows good and evil. Your conscious understands justice. It understands that when there is sin, sin must be punished. This has also led man to punish himself for his sins. Our hearts have been sprinkled with the blood of Jesus from an evil conscious. An evil conscious is one that is perpetually conscious of sin and failure, and typically expects punishment. It is a conscience that is under condemnation. However, by the grace of God instead of being sin-conscious, we can be be forgiveness-conscious. A good conscious does not feed on the knowledge of good and evil but it feeds on the life of Christ and gives you the confidence to draw near to God with a true heart in full assurance of faith that God is not angry with you. Condemnation robs you of intimacy with God. But the Word of God says, Worshippers, once purified, would have had no more consciousness of sins. Because many believers do not rely on the power of the cross To eradicate condemnation from their lives but on their own efforts (do right and do more) that is why it is the deepest root. Condemnation demands a payment for all of your sins and failures, but without Jesus, there is no payment. Satan (the accuser of our brethren) is a prosecutor at law and an expert in condemning you, always pointing out your faults and shortcomings. Dont be fooled by his fog of deception. The world has no solution for his tatics but as believers, we do. Jesus blood was shed and He was condemned on our behalf, so that we will never need to live in condemnation. Even when we fail, the Holy Spirit is ever present in you to remind you that you are continuously cleansed by the blood of Jesus. Father God, I pray for a revelation of your inexhaustible grace through the power of the Holy Spirit to know and believe that You still see us as righteous even when we sin. Amen.
