Clear Conscience

Ephesians 2:18 18 Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us. Clear conscience

 

A conscience void of offense and confident before God

only comes to pass if we prostrate ourselves

Allow conscience to reprove us and in such offer ourselves

so His Purpose is driven through us in Spirit as well

 

Our walking in the spirit has our conscience at peace

The tiniest infraction can really intervene

Whatever it condemns must quickly be confessed and

there to be cleansed so communion with God stays serene.

 

Spirit to spirit through conscience the Lord points out our sins

He will help us then to forsake whatever is in the way

The knowledge of good and evil will guide us for sure

The strength however is a God’s gift that comes our way

 

Knowledge comes in degrees, degrees in good and evil

The environment comes into play and how instruction is received

Standards are not of others but a universal way

As they’re written in the heart and easily deceive

 

So to the degree known to him one can have expectations

Only up to the point so far as it is understood

If one lives up to the Will of God to the fullest understanding

then fellowship with the Savior has to be fully good

 

God only searches gently through our attitude towards His Will

He already knows how much we understand.

If we earnestly seek and want to obey His Desires

then unbroken fellowship follows as we are clinging to His Hand

 

There may be unknown sins in us, but the blood of Christ covers them

Is not fellowship with God determined by His Holiness?

No one here would qualify from the past into the presence

not even a perfect moment to touch His Tenderness

 

Even the tiniest sin known to us that our conscience has condemned 

and we did not face to bring to repentance

It will hide God’s Smiling Face as our peace is interrupted

and things won’t be the same again unless made right in His Presence

 

Conscience can only go to the extent of the sinfulness it’s conscious off

To the point of revelation that comes through the Light of God

As the believer is growing his consciousness increases

and the more knowledge advances … the clearer the Will of God.
