She obeyed not the voice......she drew not near to her God -
Zephaniah 3:2
Gods finger is on the spot.....that is where we have disobeyed God, and brought paralysis upon our life and service - conscience disobeyed.
Conscience is the safety valve of moral and spiritual life. No man can refuse to heed it and escape the consequenses. Some have seared their consciences as with a hot iron. 1Tim 4:2...and they have ceased to function because of persistent sin.
The converted person has a conscience more delicately tuned than ever; and as the servant of the Holy Spirit, conscience is a fine asset.
Is there something on your conscience? Is ther some debt not payed: some apology not given? Is there some secret habit not forsaken? To we that are Christians God speaks to us about sin, and our responsibilities; our simple duties; and there can be no blessing until conscience is obeyed. I am convinced that there are a great many Christians who never get very far, because somewhere in the past, there has been a refusal to obey that inner voice of the conscience.
How remarkable is the emphasis Paul laid on this point, he said in his defence before Felix, "and herein do I exercise myself to have always a good conscience void of offence towards God and towards men" Acts 24: 16.
When he wrote to Timothy he told him that it was not only the doctrine he preached which was important, but the conviction of the heart within the preacher - "holding faith and a good conscience"
1Tim 1:19
Has your conscience been stabbed awake? Obey it.
