As God translates my story from my heart to you this Sunday at 10:00, I pray you will be in your place to hear details about this miracle from God. I stand amazed each day as I think about what God has done in my life. You are such a part of this story. God has used things that we have been through to prepare me for what He has done. I stand amazed!

Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

Acts 24:16, “And herein do I exercise myself, to have always a conscience void of offence toward God, and toward men.”

Learning to follow the voice of conscience is the proper way for a believer to learn to hear the Lord’s life-voice within. 

This is because our conscience is interrelated with our regenerated spirit (cf. Rom. 9:1 with 8:16). 

So, if our conscience is not clear, our spirit cannot properly function and be released. 

This is a crucial principle in our Christian life.

Our conscience may be regarded as the leading function of our spirit. 

In his own life, Paul maintained the principle of keeping a clear conscience. 

He testifies in Acts 24:15-16: “But when they had commanded them to go aside out of the council, they conferred among themselves,  Saying, What shall we do to these men? for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusalem; and we cannot deny it.”

Paul “exercised” himself to keep his conscience clear so that his relationship with the Lord would be up to date, and also so that he would be ready for the judgment seat of Christ at the resurrection of the righteous. 

Thus, it is important to have a relationship with the Lord that is governed by the voice of conscience.

The voice of conscience is God’s appointed means for man to learn to be inwardly regulated (Rom. 2:14-15). 

The conscience approves or disapproves our actions and words (Rom. 13:4-7). 

The basic lesson of learning to live by the Lord’s voice in us is to learn to listen to the voice of our own conscience (cf. 2 Tim. 1:3 with Rom. 1:9). 

If we do not practice this, how could we discern the requirement of the Lord’s life in us? 

Therefore, in our daily life when the Lord is teaching us to hear His voice, the first lessons we learn are to pay attention to the voice of our own conscience. 

When we follow the requirement of our conscience by obeying it over matters pertaining to right and wrong, we will be inwardly genuine and exercised to learn the requirement of the Lord’s life in other areas related to the intuition of our spirit (2 Cor. 2:12-13).

Indeed, man’s extremity becomes God’s opportunity.

Have you resisted the voice of your conscience to make things right with someone who thinks you have offended them and you know you have?

How quickly does it take for you to respond?

Until Tomorrow 

With a Shepherd’s Love
