BLESSED WITH A RIGHTEOUS CONSCIENCE

My Dear Precious Child, The apostle Paul wrote that you must not let your conscience condemn you or you will not reign in life as an overcomer over evil. As a Gentile believer in Jesus Christ, if you have allowed a false prophet to poison your mind with old covenant Laws, then you will not allow other people the freedom that you have in being free from the curses that come from your trying to be righteous because of obeying Jewish Law. If you add old covenant Law to your being a child of Mine, instead of forgiving people for breaking old covenant religious laws, you will hold them accountable and place them back under the laws of sin and death if you believe false prophets. In doing that, you also place yourself under the old covenant laws of sin and death instead of your continuing in Christ's words of the covenant of the Holy Spirit which place you under the words of Life that Christ Jesus taught to you. In the same way, your being placed under the laws of sin and death by the false prophets will condemn you with the religious laws of the Pharisees and your conscience will condemn you with the thought of death, which is the result of being under old covenant Law of sin and death. Paul amplified this truth when he wrote to the Galatians that they must do this: "Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherein Christ has made you free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage."(Galatians 5:1) Paul wrote those wise words to the Gentile Christians in Galacia who had fallen under the Jewish laws of sin and death by being convinced by Judeo-Christian believers who had come into their church teaching that they just be circumcised in order to be whole in My eyes. Nothing could be further from the truth. The circumcision of which I often spoke, and which Jesus Christ amplified, related to the circumcision of your heart when you are born of My Holy Spirit. The circumcision that I taught the Jews to observe was only a prophesy of the coming of Jesus Christ who would circumcise My children spiritually and place My Holy Spirit into their own hearts. It was never meant to justify My children to Me. Yet, some of My new covenant Galatian believers became poisoned by false prophets to believe that they had to become physically circumcised in order to complete their new birth. Nothing could be further from the truth. Circumcision is only good for physical cleanliness, not for spiritual cleanliness. The apostle Paul had been a loyal Jew, a man who was loyal to Jewish law even to the place of persecuting and even murdering My newly born again children. After he met Christ Jesus on the road to Damascus, he became a new creature in Christ, born of the Holy Spirit and baptized in My Holy Spirit. Then He set Himself apart from humanity and communicated only with My Holy Spirit for almost three years. It took that long for My Holy Spirit to deprogram Paul from dependency upon the laws of sin and death which had been his moral compass from birth. He eventually understood the words of Christ Jesus who said that you cannot put the new wine of the Holy Spirit into old wine skins of the old covenant laws of sin and death because the wine skins will split and the wine will be ruined, which was My way of speaking about trying to combine the old covenant laws of sin and death with My new covenant words of forgiveness and New Life in Christ Jesus through their inheriting My blessings and rewards in their lives on earth. In Paul's revelation to the Galatian believers, he wisely wrote that if they willingly or ignorantly became circumcised after being born again of the Holy Spirit, it would not profit them anything positively; and, in fact, it brought curses upon their lives because by becoming circumcised they placed themselves under all of the Jewish law and its requirements. If they broke even one law, then they opened themselves up to the devil to condemn them to curses and death. If those Galatian believers, who were Gentiles, went under old covenant laws, then the benefits that come from knowing Me through Christ Jesus would not continue into their lives. (Galatians 5:2) Why would anyone choose to return to bondage to religious laws when there is liberty and freedom in believing in Christ Jesus and His crucifixion and death on the cross for the forgiveness of their sins? Some of the Galatian Christians has been deceived and influenced by Jewish Christians who could not lay aside their Laws in exchange for receiving liberty and freedom from bondage to their written Law which is the law of sin and death. To those people who try to slide back into old covenant law in order to more efficiently know Me, My Holy Spirit wrote through Paul that they have fallen from My grace by trying to be justified by the Law again. He wrote that Christ and His sacrifice for the sins of the world has no freeing effect on the backsliders who slide back into religious Law. (Galatians 5:4-5) My Spirit wrote through Paul that the Galatians had been running the race well. He asked who had hindered them that they should not obey the Truth? He professed that the persuasion that caused them to return to old Laws did not come from Me who had called them to freedom from old covenant bondage. (Galatians 5:8-9) He even wrote that just a little leaven will poison the whole lump, speaking about each individual person's spirit, soul and body, as well as the entire church. Jesus Christ had warned His disciples not to add to or detract from His words. He revealed to Paul that when the Jewish Christians encouraged the bondage free Galatians to be circumcised or in other ways to depend upon salvation to come from obeying old covenant rituals, laws and traditions, he wished that the knife might slip and cut them off from the congregations. He reminded the Galatians that if they continued to walk in the guidance of the Holy Spirit that they would not fulfill the lust of the flesh in seeking what the false prophets said was a more perfect way of salvation by incorporating Jewish religious Laws into their being justified by faith. My Holy Spirit accomplishes complete justification in Christ in the new covenant of the Holy Spirit which provides salvation by faith in Jesus Christ with no additions from the old covenant of sin and death. The people who had added portions of the law of sin and death to their New Birth and their being baptized in the Holy Spirit, they found that their consciences condemned them by the dictates of Jewish Law instead of their being forgiven and rehabilitated by the words of Jesus Christ in the new covenant of Life in Christ Jesus. Jesus had exemplified that grace while on the cross when He asked Me to forgive His murderers because they didn't know what they were doing. That is true Love, to forgive your human killers. If Jesus had been under Jewish Law, He would have demanded that His killers be punished, as the Law requires. But under the Law of Spirit and Life, Jesus acted out of love and forgiveness for his killers. Paul listed the personality traits of people who are led by the Holy Spirit as being love, joy, peace, goodness, kindness, mercy, longsuffering, patience. faith, meekness and temperance. Jesus exemplified those character traits in everything that He did. When you are united with Christ through the Holy Spirit, then those are your character traits. My Holy Spirit wrote through Paul that if you are led by the Holy Spirit, then you are not under the Law of sin and death. Instead, you are under the Law of Life in Christ Jesus. There is nothing under the Law of sin and death that improves the words of Life that came out of the mouth of Jesus Christ. All the Law of sin and death does for My born again believer is condemn you in your conscience which brings curses and death to you. Heed Paul's warnings to the Galatian Christians and do not succumb to any false prophet who endeavors to bring you into bondage to sin by providing condemnation in your conscience by using old covenant Law as an adjunct way to salvation. There is no adjunct way. There is only New Life in Jesus Christ and My Holy Spirit. Your Father of the Perfect Salvation
