Beyond A Purged Conscience – 2

Apostle Grace Lubega

Hebrews 9:8-10(KJV); The Holy Ghost this signifying, that the way into the holiest of all was not yet made manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet standing: Which was a figure for the time then present, in which were offered both gifts and sacrifices, that could not make him that did the service perfect, as pertaining to the conscience;
Which stood only in meats and drinks, and divers washings, and carnal ordinances, imposed on them until the time of reformation.

A believer who relates with God only on the basis of a purged conscience, and not beyond, has not matured in the understanding of God.

Such a relationship is incomplete and is not a full and proper representation of how God deals with His children. 

A Christian stuck at this point is as Ephraim. The Bible says of him, “The iniquity of Ephraim is bound up; his sin is hid. The sorrows of a travailing woman shall come upon him: he is an unwise son; for he should not stay long in the place of the breaking forth of children”( Hosea 13:12-13).

Like Ephraim, a Christian who only relates with God on the basis of a purged conscience tarries at the place of the breaking forth of children. 

This means that there are manifestations he cannot see in his life because his dealing with God is from a shallow and not a deeper place. 

There are answers and ideas he cannot bring forth; he wonders endlessly why the reality of his life does not reflect the potential of his spirit; he is pregnant with vision but is way past the time of giving birth.

Living beyond a purged conscience to understand God more deeply completes the pattern of maturity. It defines deeper liberties in God and the manifestation of greater realities of the spirit life.

GOLDEN NUGGET:
Living beyond a purged conscience to understand God more deeply completes the pattern of maturity. It defines deeper liberties in God and the manifestation of greater realities of the spirit life.

PRAYER: Loving Father, I thank you for this wisdom. My fellowship and communion with you is elevated beyond the place of a purged conscience to knowing you more. As I walk in this understanding, I see manifestation of truth and spiritual realities in every area of my life. I increase in everything that I do because of this understanding. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
