in conscience, righteousness and truth
. 0 Comments

The more light in me, revelation, truth, grace, the more clarity and visibility around me. Others who are dark I am able to see clearer. Such as motive, emotions, sickness, death. Truth separates from things that are not truth. Things that encounter the light are exposed. If I flash a flashlight at night and something or someone walks in front if it the light exposes it.

Perhaps this is why Paul says, “Where are not unaware of the enemy’s schemes.” I believe a huge part of the enemy’s strategy is to constantly stimulate self-imposed law. How? Thoughts. Revelation apprehends and passively arrests us. If we know something that is undeniably real and true. The truth of what we know affects us. That is what truth does. It aligns everything with it. Truth does not even hinge on time.

By possessing revelatory knowledge of a purged conscience by the blood of Christ these ‘thoughts’ thrown our way become less and less powerful. Self-imposed law based thoughts are works-based, self-strength based, self-condemnation based, and the like. A conscience that is purged nullifies the little. That is what the Aramaic translates into in Corinthians. Something nullified is obsolete and annulled. So, the old man-based or self-based thoughts thrown our way are nullified in Christ? Isn’t that what Paul says in Gal. 2:20, 2 Cor. 5:17?

I remember the Lord told me once, “My forgiveness is greater than your unforgiveness towards yourself.” Even if I am not forgiving myself for whatever this is not even necessary. Repentance is something else. Repentance is and “after thought” with lasting affects on one’s life that do not change or go away. Repentance is real. Whimsical forgiveness based on me failing self-expectations has no value to us being in Christ. This is also what Paul talks about in Phil. 3, “Not having a righteousness

in conscience, mind and motive
. 0 Comments

This blog builds on two previous blogs:

Here is the content of the blog Need for approval.

The need for approval has the potential to create vain imaginations. If I fail to meet approval then an idea must be created to counter the failure to approve. Vain imaginations can potentially entangle us, but the just shall live by His faith in them. Vain imaginations are not real and substantial. They cannot save. I cannot save myself. Otherwise, Christ’s death was in vain.

So, why is there a need for approval? How about MOTIVE. What motivates me to have the desire for approval? Hmmm, what arbitrates1 motive in me and everyone in mankind? The wonderful conscience. Needless to say, God knew what He was doing when He created man and his conscience in His image.

Now, let’s turn the table. In Christ, our conscience does not value the difference between right and wrong. It has been purged from dead works. Dead works manifested because of motive. The conscience is the arbitrator of motive. An non-purged or defiled conscience IS aware of the difference between good and evil and motivates dead works. Dead works do not justify us before God the Father. Only His Son, our High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, can justify, sanctify and make righteous. He Himself takes away our sins once for all. He said, “Shelem” or “It is complete and fulfilled in every way” on the cross. Shelem crossed time, space and all of creation.

Since our conscience is no longer aware of the judgment and penalty of the law our motive is purified. Wow, that is amazing and life changing. Please read that at least three times. When we are baptized, immersed or literally drowned into Christ at salvation. We are drowned until we die. Then we resurrect in newness of His life and faith in us by grace and revelation. The motive of the dead person who drowned in the water is dead as well. The motive of the old man is dead in Christ. This is what Paul says in Philippians 3:9, “And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:” And in Col. 3:3, “For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.” Who is dead? The old man and its nature to constantly try ‘to be’ based on self-imposed law. Its motive was based on the starving need for approval. The approval is no longer required. We are predestined to the the adoption of children in Christ according to the good pleasure and will of the Father. My sons do not require my approval for me to love them. Love is not self-seeking and keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not change its mind. Perfect love casts out fear and torment.

Motive is purified. Now, my thoughts are renewed according to hearing the word. Titus 3:5, “Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing (bathing by the word of truth, Eph. 5:26) of regeneration (ever-constant renewal in present pluperfect tense by revelatory word or logos), and renewing of the Holy Ghost;”

Col. 3:10, “And have put on the new [man], which is renewed (ever-constant renewal in present pluperfect tense by revelatory word or logos) in knowledge (revelatory word) after the image (Christ the original pattern) of him that created him:”

So, how does Phil. 4:8-9 occur? Motive. Motive. Motive. The power of positive thinking does not save you. Grace enabled motive and a purified conscience do. John 1:16, “And of his fullness have all we received, and grace for grace.”

The power of positive thinking is witchcraft. Yep, it is. Is Christ pre-eminent in positive thinking? At the root, “No.” It is rebellion against grace. Rebellion is as witchcraft according to the prophet Samuel.

So, what does the conscience perceive in positive thinking? “You better be positive. Be a good person. You must think positive. Why aren’t you thinking positive?” Doesn’t sound like pure motive to me. Only the holy blood of Christ can purify the conscience from the guilt, judgment and penalty of the law. In turn, motive is purified, thoughts are renewed by revelation. Once again, “The just shall live by His faith in them.” His faith comes by hearing and hearing the word, revelation. Faith deposits, diffuses into wisdom, knowledge and understanding and becomes you. We inherit His righteous nature. This nature comes by hearing the word. The triune person: spirit, soul, body; is sanctified by revelation of Christ in them. Sanctification unto righteousness, unto holiness, unto eternal life now in this life and the life to come.

Our thoughts seem to come from what we hear mixed with motive. Faith comes by hearing. If not faith then I am hearing the prince of power of the the air, the enemy. It is either one or the other. The old nature is fallen and influenced by the deception of the enemy.

In summary, the purged conscience motivates with godly purity. The renewed mind in Christ navigates us as sons of God walking in the Spirit, Titus 1:1. This all occurs naturally and effortlessly in His rest.

I believe our conscience is the arbitrator of motive.

ar⋅bi⋅trate

–verb (used with object)
1. to decide as arbitrator or arbiter; determine.
2. to submit to arbitration; settle by arbitration: to arbitrate a dispute.

–verb (used without object)
3. to act as arbitrator or arbiter; decide between opposing or contending parties or sides.
4. to submit a matter to arbitration.

The blood of Christ has purged our conscience from dead works based on law and self-imposed law. Now, in Christ, we have been predestined unto the adoption of children to do good works. Good works come from a pure motive.

Where does motive come from? What arbitrates motive? Our conscience.

In Christ, our conscience is no longer aware of the judgment or penalty of the law. It has no value of right and wrong. The caveat is our mind does. Our mind remembers. Reference blog, No wonder I keep remembering. Even though our mind remembers and knows, there is no condemnation in Christ in the Spirit. This does not give license to sin. Even though in Christ the conscience does not know what sin is. Motive has changed. If missing the mark or manifestations of the flesh do occur then it could be due to a number of reasons: willful ignorance, ignorance, unregenerate thinking, lack of foundation, no discipleship, unhealthy doctrine, law has been put on the individual, witchcraft, stubbornness, rebellion, fear, self-willed opinion, vain imaginations.

Blogs about the conscience being purged:

Paul says, “To put into oblivion those things which are behind” in Phil. 3. How? Those things which are behind are those things that are attached to the old man and nature. The old nature predicates on the law or self-imposed law. Anything based on self-imposed law is behind and irrelevant. It truly is dead.

The “how” is receiving revelation of a purged conscience and the complete work of Christ. This is why the function and office of the apostle and prophet are important in the Church. They testify and witness the resurrection of Christ. They share the logos or word. They minister sound doctrine. They diffuse and impart power, grace and peace to whosoever. All of this is unto the full stature of Christ.

If I do not have revelatory knowledge of a purged conscience then how will I partake in good works? This revelation gives faith, knowledge, confidence and assurance to whosoever that their conscience is pure. The knowledge has a profound life-changing affect on the recipient. That is what was prophesied in the prophets and restated in Hebrews 10:16, “This [is] the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them.”

In the Garden of Eden, man’s spirit was alive with God’s life by His Spirit. The Holy Spirit κοινωνία, koinōnia, or has a spiritual bond beyond full description with my spirit and enlivens it. Prior to salvation, sin came. In the Garden of Eden, prior to the law, the knowledge of good and evil came and the  knowledge infiltrated through the soul and defiled the conscience and the spirit died. It was separated from Life. Prior to the Fall, the conscience was pure. All things were pure to person of the pure conscience. The conscience was not aware of the judgment based on the law within Adam’s heart through the command of God to not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good (functioning, giving life) and evil (dysfunctional, separated from life). When Adam ate from the tree the expectation from the command given from God within Adam’s heart judged Adam. His conscience witnessed its judgment. The failure to meet the expectation manifested fear, but perfect love casts out fear. And perfect love does not and has not kept any record of wrongs ever. The manifestation of fear which was based on the expectation of the commandment motivated Adam to live his life on earth based on his understanding and self-strength. Adam sewed fig leaves to cover his newly discovered shame. He was attempting to self-manage his guilt by coping. Now, fear and the residual knowledge he had of love was mixed. He was living his life in the flesh and was unable to please God. He fell from grace. We can only please God through His faith in us. Now, Adam’s spirit was dead and soul was digressing from the knowledge of life and love. His flesh lost its immortality because his conscience was constantly aware of this judgment. Fear was in his soul and surged in his body’s tissue, chemicals, hormones and blood slowly leaking the life of God in him. The conscience was the separator from life through its awareness of the judgment of the law. The separation by the awareness brought death even prior to the law being given by Moses based on self-imposed law in his heart. Another Adam-like person needed to come to earth to be able to quicken the spirit, but how? By purging the conscience from the knowledge of the law’s judgment once and for all by an eternal sacrifice. According to the revelation, sacrifice, power, hope, grace, truth and faith of Christ, the Last Adam, my spirit is supernaturally quickened and made whole at salvation. My soul is being renewed daily by revelation. My body is quickened through the renewal of my soul. Fear of the judgment of any self-imposed law is abolished, obsolesced, obliterated and given to oblivion in my spirit. This knowledge is even apprehending my soul through the gate of my new purged conscience. My soul grows in the grace and knowledge of Christ, 2 Peter 3:18.

Resist like light

James 4:7, “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”

Paraphrase from the Greek, “Passively be subjected under God’s grace by the revelation of Christ in you. Resist, oppose and STAND (not sit) against the enemy or adversary and he will flee and take flight.”

Why does the adversary flee and take flight? Because Christ in you is enabling you to STAND established in Him by His grace and you have not moved because it is not within your nature to move or compromise.

If real Light is in me according to hearing the word of faith and the revelation of Christ in me by grace, then resistance to anything dark is passively accomplished due to the nature of the light and revelation of the word in me. The light of the word is truth and reality in me.

Col. 1:12-14, “Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers (or something that is a portion or part of something else, His fullness and nature) of the inheritance of the saints in light: Who hath delivered (rescued and preserved) us from the power of darkness, and hath translated (transferred and transposed) [us] into the kingdom of his dear Son: In whom we have redemption through his blood, [even] the forgiveness of sins:”

His work is more real than anything else apart from Him. In Him, my conscience is not aware of the judgment or penalty of the self-imposed law of my heart. Now, in Him, there is NO condemnation ever, but grace unto righteousness, holiness and glory in Him.

Due to its nature darkness cannot apprehend light. He is the hope of glory and light of the world in us!

How is the ‘old man’ separated from us?

What separates the “old man” from the new man? Or rather who separates him?

The word says the old is gone, 2 Cor. 5:17. The old man is crucified with Christ at His death. We are drowned and immersed into Him at salvation. Paul says in Romans 7:24, “O wretched man (referring to past tense ‘old man’) that I am! who shall deliver (or separate) me from the body of this death?”

Jesus is the Deliverer, Jehovah Mephalti1, Psalms 18:2. How did and how does He deliver us from the old nature or man? He does so by purging our conscience from dead works and the knowledge of the judgment of self-imposed law.

By the way, if I am not aware that I am or have been separated from the old (man) then I may read Romans 7 from the perspective of the old man. Truth says He is our Deliverer. If this is true and it is then Romans 7 is not referring to us while we are new creations in Christ. Someone then may say, “What about Galatians?” I believe Romans is talking about what Christ has accomplished for us. I believe Galatians is talking about what the Galatians forgot Christ had done for them by believing someone else’s doctrine, Gal. 1:6. In doing so, they were entangled. Also, there is a reason Paul says, “works of the flesh are manifest” or “manifestations of the flesh” in Gal. 5:19. It is because of a purged conscience and the deliverance or separation from the body of this death.

Since the conscience or ‘chief witness’ is no longer aware of the judgment of the law then it has nothing to witness to. If it has nothing to witness to then there is no judgment or condemnation. This is the new way of the Spirit, Rom. 7:6.

Separating again…

I had to go back eight months, to 11/17/08. I wrote a blog then called Separating me.

It seems sanctification is a continual work, but my finite understanding and fleshly mind seem to overlook that.

Recently, I had a stressful experience. I had a mountain of work, stress at home and my father recently had a heart attack. On a good note, I have a job, beautiful wife and family, and my father is healing and recovering. I also had not been taking enough time to take care of myself.

During this stressful time, I encountered an old emotion of what I would call ‘abandonment’. If you read some of the about revelator history you will see that when I was 13 years old my mother died. I was her nurse at times. At 15, I moved out. I also was found by the Lord at 15 years old. At 14-15 I think, my father remarried and had more children. At this point in my life, I was solo. I was by myself without my mom. She was like my best friend, but was not on earth anymore. The only part left of her was me. I love my mother and she is alive. She is not dead. Her body is asleep. I will see her again in glory. She is in His presence. Can you imagine that? At 15 years old, I also almost became a father with a 19 year girl. When I was 20 years old, 5 years later, I found out she had a miscarriage with twins. She had told me 5 years previous it was a false alarm.

After my mother died, even though I accepted the Lord in my heart I did not have a spiritual foundation. My foundation self-based. I also had not dealt with the areas in my soul that the Lord desired wholeness and healing in. I was promiscuous, drank a lot of alcohol, did a lot of drugs and wanted to hurt people because I was angry and hurt. In my mind and heart, I was abandoned.

I read Hebrews 13:5 where Jesus says, “I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.” I believed it. I experienced it, but apparently there are areas that are in our souls that are deeper than deep. We are spiritual beings that will not die. We are created in the image of God’s Son Who is immortal. So, our souls likely possess immeasurable depth. Psalms 42:7 says, “Deep calleth unto deep…”

So, the pressures of life came to attempt to choke the word in me. At this time, I was by myself. This old emotion of abandonment crept up or in and memories were triggered that had been attached to it. I became angry and frustrated. Where is the full armor of God? I am saved, helmet of salvation. Where is the shield of faith? Where is the sword of the Spirit? The quickened Word of God.

This situation made me do some serious praying and self-reflection. I had to take a more serious look at and tell myself once again Hebrews 13:5. Faith comes by hearing the word of God. When I did something happened.

This old awareness of abandonment faded away and is fading. I believe spiritual substance was created. This new spiritual substance became and is a part of me or Christ in me. It separated me from abandonment in an extremely deep area in my soul.

Hebrews talks about “purging our conscience from dead works”. Like I said, “I thought I knew.” It seems when I think I know something the Lord says, “Here’s some more.” And I say, “Huh?”

In Christ, if we are really new creations in Him then it may not be what we think a new creation is. It isn’t. It is what He reveals by His power. 2 Cor. 5:17 says, “The old is gone. The new has come.” In a word, that is how I could describe it. “The old is gone.” Gone means there is no longer awareness of it. This ties into a conscience that is whole and sanctified. It is no longer aware of the judgment or penalty of self-imposed law.

I believe the experience of desertion made me lean on my own understanding that originated from my family traditions, culture and dead religion. This ’self-imposed law’ told me I need to be a ‘certain way’ in order to avoid abandonment. This self-rule separated me from life and peace, Rom. 8:6.

As Paul says, “Thanks be to God who gives us the victory in Christ Jesus!” I have been separated from this body of death, Rom. 7:24, and these ‘dead works’ no longer matter or have power because of the complete work of Christ. His complete work is fulfilling its purpose in me by grace and revelation.

Currently, I am once again in unfamiliar territory. Why do I say that? I say that because for years I have been use to listening to ’self-imposed’ law written in my heart that says, “You gotta be like this or that.” This self-imposed law can be a false sense of security. Now, even after 21 years of being saved, it is an unusual, but invigorating perception of reality. I believe this is called liberty and salvation. If we grow in Christ, 2 Peter 3:18, then our liberty has to grow as well. Otherwise, are we growing?

I can see people when prisoners are released from prison squinting their eyes in amazement and wonder with the new thought that they are free. He whom the Son sets free is free indeed!, John 8:36.

Weak conscience

1 Cor. 8:7-8, “7 However, there is not in everyone that knowledge; for some, with consciousness of the idol, until now eat it as a thing offered to an idol; and their conscience, being weak, is defiled. 8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.”

The above verse says, “their conscience being weak, is defiled.” I believe the reason the conscience is defiled of the one who eats the food offered to an idol is because they are still under self-imposed law in their hearts. They are empowering and giving higher priority to the idol offered food because they do not have ‘knowledge’ yet. So, when they eat the idol-offered food to be like brother so-in-so they put themselves under the law again. The motivation in their hearts is probably Uzza or self-strength. How can I say that? Self-strength is not walking in the Spirit. Self-strength will put you back under the law. Self-strength is not revelatory, but presumptuous. Presumption is not understanding received by faith, Heb. 11:3. It is a guess. God is not the God of guessing, but omniscient.

The next verse says, “8 But food does not commend us to God; for neither if we eat are we the better, nor if we do not eat are we the worse.” I believe brother Paul is not just talking about food. Phil. 3:8 supports this. The only thing that truly commends us before the Father is the complete work of His only Son. The faith of His Son commends us by grace. So, keeping my ducks in a row does not even justify me. I live by His faith in me, Gal. 2:20.

At the YMCA today

Today, me and my sons went to a YMCA we’ve not been to before. It was a huge facility. We plan on going there again. As we were leaving I noticed they offered message therapy. I have received deep tissue therapy in the past and felt like inquiring some more about the YMCA process. I asked a gentlemen who was in the message therapy room. When he looked at me it seemed as if I caught him off guard in a strange way. Ever so often, I’ve noticed I run into people and I get this response. I called a friend of mine and discussed this. In the discussion, I was reminded of Acts 4:13, “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” In my case, the man was not marvelling, but seemed very frightened. I saw his arms and body actually trembling. We conversed for a couple of minutes and that was it.

I have noticed this “effect” periodically at work and in public. My friend told me that it isn’t me who is causing, but someone else. Who? Christ in me ofcourse. I believe the real Jesus Christ is possibly unfamiliar to many. They may interpret Him as a legend, historicaly figure, religion, or myth.

2 Cor. 4:2 says, “Rather, we have renounced secret and shameful ways; we do not use deception, nor do we distort the word of God. On the contrary, by setting forth the truth plainly (or manifesting) we commend ourselves to every man’s conscience in the sight of God.”

My life and person or who I am in Christ is a manifestation of truth or truth that is plainly seen with human eyes. The eyes send the information from the body to the soul, conscience and spirit. So it seems, the effect can be fear of the unknown or xenophobia.

How does sin come about?

Sin is missing the demarcation of the law. Sin is not imputed when there is no law. A purged conscience does not have knowledge of the demarcation of the law. Now, grace, power, faith, hope and love empower and enable fulfillment of the law in us by His willingness. If the demarcation of the law is unknown then sin is dis-empowered.

Romans 8:15, “15 For you did not receive the spirit of bondage again to fear”

If sin entices the flesh and comes to life it does so by the spirit of bondage to fear. Prior to Christ, sin is the manifestation of the spirit of bondage by fear. The knowledge of perfect love casts out fear. Now, we are in Christ and in the Spirit. If we are in Christ then we have the Spirit of power, love and a whole mind. With His love, faith, and grace in us we are unaware of the judgment, guilt, or penalty of the law or self-imposed law in our hearts.
