LIVING ON A PURE CONSCIOUSNESS: IT’S ABOUT ‘BEING SPIRIT-RULED’ AND NOT ‘BEING BODILY-RULED’ BELIEVER IN CHRIST JESUS STEAD!
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in A PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
It’s a high time if you ARE not, for you to become – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead and not “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” in Christ Jesus stead – [Romans 8:1-3; 14-16; Galatians 5:16, 24-25].
For “BEING BODILY-RULED BELIEVER” makes you a FIVE-SENSE-RULED person. That’s when your governing perception, guidance and leads in decision making is crowded and opinionated by what you – HEAR, SMELL, SEE, TASTE and TOUCH/Feel. And that keeps one in the flesh and in carnality – makes one a lustful and affection guided individual. Makes one incline to sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation. And as such position, one can easily be DECEIVE by the ENEMY and COHORTS forces of this world in cause of doing life and intending to live godly by God in Christ Jesus stead.
“But I say, WALK HABITUALLY in the [Holy] Spirit [seek Him and be RESPONSIVE to His guidance], and then you will certainly not carry out the DESIRE of the sinful nature [which responds impulsively without regard for God and His precepts] . . . 24 And those who belong to Christ Jesus have CRUCIFIED the sinful nature together with its PASSIONS and APPETITES. 25 If we [claim to] LIVE by the [Holy] Spirit, we must also WALK by the Spirit [with personal integrity, godly character, and moral courage—our CONDUCT EMPOWERED by the Holy Spirit]” Galatians 5:16, 24-25/AMP.
And it’s worth knowing that when you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE governed, led and ruled by the HOLY SPIRIT through the WORD of God while the flesh [body] of the senses ARE subjugated and disarmed of it’s control over you; and that helps to ensure and to be assured that you are operating in God’s given cause and perspective in Christ Jesus, in all matters of doing LIFE and GODLY LIVING. Then you can bring under control, that’s subjugate, the acts of sentiments, prejudice and dissimulation in all ramifications and irrespective.
“Know ye not that they which run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? So run, that ye may obtain. 25 And every man that striveth for the MASTERY IS TEMPERATE [DISCIPLINE] in all things. Now they do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. 26 I therefore so run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: 27 but I keep under my BODY, and bring it into SUBJECTION: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway” 1 Corinthians 9:24-27/Emphasis Mine.
And while you ARE – “BEING SPIRIT-RULED BELIEVER” – you ARE able then to define matters by the heavenly perception insights and foresights on any subject in your earthly affairs decision making. It’s about having and living of the pure conscious human spirit by the pure Holy Spirit that’s given, living in and through us of God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“And hope maketh not ashamed; because the love of God is SHED [LAVISHED] ABROAD IN OUR HEARTS [HUMAN SPIRIT] by the Holy Ghost which is GIVEN unto us” Romans 5:5/Emphasis Mine.
“For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:14.
“Holding the MYSTERY of the FAITH in a PURE CONSCIENCE” 1 Timothy 3:9.
“And herein do I EXERCISE myself, to have always a CONSCIENCE void of OFFENCE toward God, and toward men” Acts 24:16.
Beloved of God, do you live intentionally in the consciousness of the indwelling Holy Spirit? Is the God’s person of Holy Spirit in you through baptism as the scriptures enjoined [John 14:16-17; John 7:37-39; Luke 11:9-13; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:5, 8; Acts 10:44-48; Acts 19:1-7]. And if I may ask you further again today and now, are you a Believer in Christ Jesus? Are you a Believer that’s BEING BODILY-RULED or you ARE a Believer that’s BEING SPIRIT-RULED in your day to day act of doing life and godly living in Christ Jesus? These above in paragraph are some of the likely good questions you need to settle for an answer within you – for your leverage and for your onward and upward trajectory in life and grace, in God, in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
“For we ARE the circumcision, which WORSHIP God in the spirit, and REJOICE in Christ Jesus, and have NO CONFIDENCE in the FLESH (FIVE SENSES – SEE, HEAR, TASTE, TOUCH, SMELL)” Philippians 3:3 Emphasis Mine.
“So then they that are in the FLESH (Bodily-Ruled) cannot please God. 9 But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit (Spirit-Ruled), if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his. 10 And if Christ be in you, the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of righteousness . . . 14 For as many as are LED by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God” Romans 8:8-11, 14/Emphasis Mine.
May I remind you to know that Man [non-gender] is a tripartite (triune) spirit-being, and he consists of – Body, Soul and Spirit [1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12-13]; and each respond differently for various reasons. The response and results depends on if one is BEING BODILY-RULED or BEING SPIRIT-RULED in response to matters of doing life and living godly.
And in the words of Dr Kenneth Hagin Snr of blessed memory, which I equally agreed to, I can say that:
* FEELING is the VOICE of the BODY.
* REASON is the VOICE of the SOUL
* CONSCIENCE is the VOICE of the SPIRIT.
As such, it’s very much important and imperative for you to intentionally resolve to be the Believer of God in Christ Jesus who is BEING SPIRIT-RULED; and not acclaiming to be a Believer while you are BEING BODILY-RULED in consciousness of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, in whom the Believer’s are to live, move and have their being of God in Christ Jesus.
“For in HIM [GOD] we LIVE, and MOVE, and have our BEING; as certain also of your own poets have said, FOR WE ARE ALSO HIS OFFSPRING” Acts 17:28.
“Now the END of the commandment is CHARITY (LOVE) out of a PURE HEART, and of a GOOD CONSCIENCE, and of FAITH UNFEIGNED” 1 Timothy 1:5 Emphasis Mine.
And you must come to know that you ARE the ARCHITECT and CUSTODIAN of your today and tomorrow; therefore, don’t SAY or WRITE and DO something that your CONSCIENCE of the mystery of the UNFEIGNED FAITH by the Holy Spirit, can’t live to stand steady by it, or and see, view or watch, or and to be given the hearing ears to listen to everyway of your doing both LIFE and GODLY LIVING by God in Christ Jesus stead. Amen.
It’s my earnest PRAYERS that God’s good and goodness will cause the good to happen to you by being a SPIRIT-RULED Believer in Christ Jesus. Amen. And you can access more insights and foresights in my book: BEING DIVINELY-LED BY THE LORD! [www.chukiemorsibooks.com].

But we have the mind of Christ” 1 Corinthians 2:11-16.
