499 – Conscience and The Renewed Mind
The More Abundant Life
God 499 – Conscience and The Renewed Mind Part three of the series on Thinking and the Renewed Mind. Conscience is the unrenewed mind or the renewed mind or both. In the believer, it is both. It is used 32 times in the Bible, it is the same English word and Greek word. Here's my definition of conscience: It is your mental awareness because of your previous learning, thinking, and experience. Acts 23:1 “And Paul, earnestly beholding the council, said, Men and brethren, I have lived in all good conscience before God until this day.” How could Paul say this? If something seems good or bad,...

484 – The Ministry of Jesus Christ
Below are written all the Scriptures and some of my notes, making it easy for you to follow along with the lesson right from your devices.
To teach everything involved in Jesus Christ's ministry would take many hours, but here's a teaching on the part of Jesus Christ's Ministry that we can see from the Bible.
John 8:28b & 29 “I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. 29 And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him.”
His father, God, taught The Word to him him. The Word is the contact point for learning about God, and His son, Jesus Christ. Later, after Jesus Christ received holy spirit he could hear from God directly. Just like all that have receive can.
Genesis 3:15 “And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”
Jesus first learned about himself here. He continued studying and searching the scriptures by the freedom of his will and believing. He believed this great promise first made in the Scriptures was everything Jesus needed to know to perform his ministry.
Luke 2:46 & 47 “And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. 47 And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.”
His parents first taught Jesus, but later, he wanted to know more. As soon as he was old enough by Judean law, he asking questions and learning more about the Scriptures.
Luke 4:17 “And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written, 18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, 19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him. 21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.”
By this time, near his 30th birthday, he knew, believed, and started his official Ministry.
Mark 7:6 – 9 “He answered and said unto them, Well hath Esaias prophesied of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honoureth me with their lips, but their heart is far from me. 7 Howbeit in vain do they worship me, teaching for doctrines the commandments of men. 8 For laying aside the commandment of God, ye hold the tradition of men, as the washing of pots and cups: and many other such like things ye do. 9 And he said unto them, Full well ye reject the commandment of God, that ye may keep your own tradition.”
He knew and Believed.
Luke 11:52 “Woe unto you, lawyers! for ye have taken away the key of knowledge: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.”
The key is the Scriptures, The word of God.
Matthew 7:28 & 29 “And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine:”
The doctrine is The Scriptures, The God of God.
Luke 4:32 “And they were astonished at his doctrine: for his word was with power.”
Jesus's Ministry was one of the words, but Miracles will be hindered without believing.
Matthew 13:58 “And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief.”
Being hindered by not fully believing will give you just partial results.
John 4:41 “And many more believed because of his own word;”
Jesus Christ had a Ministry of words. God's Word.
John 17:8 “For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me.”
What do you think? Believe.
John 5:39, 46 & 47 “Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. 46 For had ye believed Moses, ye would have believed me: for he wrote of me. 47 But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?”
You are who you are today because of what you believe. You'll be where your believing brings you tomorrow. That's why knowing the Scriptures, accepting them, and living victoriously is essential. Believe in God and believe in yourself.
Matthew 22:29 “Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.”
This is the theme verse for my book How to Read the Bible for Understanding and Power. First, you have to know the Scriptures, and then you believe them. That is power for living victoriously.
Until the next time we get together, may God bless you abundantly.
