BLESSED BY THE CONSCIOUS POWER OF YOUR THOUGHTS

My Dear Precious Child, When the apostle Paul was teaching about your having a clear conscience toward Me and your fellow inhabitants of the earth, in his teaching related to your having the freedom from Me to eat food sacrificed to idols he used as an example that if someone who is under religious Law does not feel free when hungry to eat food sacrificed to idols, then if you influence that person to eat the food reserved for idols you have sinned because you have influenced him or her to do something for which the person's conscience condemns him by having assured the person of his sinning against Me because of his religious beliefs. He or she feels condemned because of the religious/Jewish Law which influences his or her conscience instead of the person having the revelation from Me that you can bless the food and it's blessed. Paul wrote in his letter to the Roman believer concerning the subject this,"If any person sees you, who has spiritual knowledge, sit and eat meat that is in the idol's temple, then the conscience of the person who is weak in spiritual faith will become influenced to eat those things which are offered to idols. Then if the person's conscience condemns him or her and the person perishes because of the influence of your freedom, then you have caused the person to die by wounding the person's weak spirit. You have sinned against Christ because of your flaunting your freedom which caused the person's death." (I Corinthians 8:9-12) Paul wrote that he would not become a stumbling block to another believer, so he would eat no meat sacrificed to idols to insure that he would not make a brother offend his own conscience and die. That example shows to you the power of a person's thoughts. A person's thoughts can either condemn the person or a person's thoughts can bless the person, depending upon from where the thoughts come. Because of the religious Law of sin and death influencing the life of a person and leading to death, you must not influence anyone to do something that is against the person's weak faith or the person's conscience will be influenced by the devil to sin and then the person will be condemned by the devil and he or she might possibly die. The person's blood will be on your hands because you have influenced the person to do something contrary to the person's conscience, which allows the devil to condemn him or her and cause the person to eventually die from the devil's guilt and condemnation. (Matthew 23:35) Paul's revelation pertaining to this sin, which was not meant to cause death, is still considered sin because it gives the devil an occasion to condemn another person from your action of eating the food sacrificed to idols, whether you realize it or not, after you have read Paul's revelation in his writings to the church at Corinth. He had not meant to heap judgment upon anyone. He just felt a need to reveal an element of the devil's work in the earth through a believer's flaunting his freedom which causes a weak person in faith to sin. I am neither the tempter nor the condemner. The devil is. Therefore, My children must not in some way cause another person of weak faith to do anything that defies his or her conscience or it gives the devil an occasion to condemn the person and bring curses and then death to him or her. If you have done that, you have an opportunity to correct your careless flaunting of your freedom by your making it right with the person, confessing your sin of influencing the person to defy his or her conscience. Your Father of a Clear Conscience
