Don’t let sin consciousness separate us from GOD!
Our consciousness is centered in the mind, not our spirit man.
Paul wrote by The Holy Spirit in Hebrews chapter 10:
1 The old system of living under the law presented us with only a faint shadow, a crude outline of the reality of the wonderful blessings to come. Even with its steady stream of sacrifices offered year after year, there still was nothing that could make our hearts perfect before God.
2-3 For if animal sacrifices could once and for all eliminate sin, they would have ceased to be offered and the worshipers would have clean consciences. Instead, once was not enough so by the repetitive sacrifices year after year, the worshipers were continually reminded of their sins, with their hearts still impure.
One of the greatest hindrances to obtaining full maturity as an overcomer is to walk in the revelation of God-consciousness rather than sin-consciousness. Many of us were taught that our value and acceptance were based on our performance rather than Christ’s performance at the cross.
The Law constantly reminded us of our sins and impurities of our hearts.
Paul continues:
4 For it is not possible that the blood of bulls and goats could take away sins.
The Old Testament Law could only provide temporary relief for the sin nature in man but FATHER had a better plan for us.
5 Therefore, when He came into the world, He said: “Sacrifice and offering You did not desire, But a body You have prepared for Me.
6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin You had no pleasure.
7 Then I said, ‘Behold, I have come- In the volume of the Book it is written of Me- To do Your will, O God.'”
8 Previously saying, “Sacrifice and offering, burnt offerings, and offerings for sin You did not desire, nor had pleasure in them” (which are offered according to the law),
9 then He said, “Behold, I have come to do Your will, O God.” He takes away the first that He may establish the second.
10 By that will we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.
“Once for all” is the key phrase for us to discard the past, present, and future sins. Until then, the adversary will attempt to flood our consciousness with past sins. Any time he does this, I simply say, “I cast down those vain imaginations!”
11 Yet every day priests still serve, ritually offering the same sacrifices again and again—sacrifices that can never take away sin’s guilt.
12 But when Our Priest (Jesus Christ) had offered the one supreme sacrifice for sin for all time He sat down on a throne at the Right Hand of God,
13 waiting until all His whispering enemies are subdued and turn into His footstool.
14 And by his one perfect sacrifice He made us perfectly Holy and complete for all time!
I cannot overemphasize the need to dwell and meditate on this chapter in order to walk in God-consciousness!
15 But the Holy Spirit also witnesses to us; for after He had said before,
16 “This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them,“
17 then He adds, “Their sins and their lawless deeds I will remember no more.”
18 Now where there is remission of these, there is no longer an offering for sin.
If FATHER is no longer remembering our lawless deeds then why should we allow them to impede our spiritual progress? Let us no longer accept the consciousness of the old man for it has passed away.
