weby First Peter chapter
22 deal with the subject of the
8-22 some of you have read Ogden Nash's
poetry not very edifying but sometimes
rather interesting he has a cute little
poem that says when called by a panther
but his little poem on conscience is
interesting there is only one way to
achieve happiness on this terrestrial
ball and that is to have either a clear
conscience or none at
all a lot of theology in those
words HL M who used to uh wake up the
United States with his scathing
editorials in the American
Mercury defined conscience as that inner
voice that is warning you that somebody
may be
watching not a bad
definition and yet each of us has to
live with
conscience conscience is that inward
monitor that inward
judge that accuses us when we do wrong
and uh commends us when we do
right in fact conscience is so important
it's mentioned 31 times in the New Testament
Testament
you don't find the word in the Old
Testament but you find the idea there
when uh Adam and Eve ran and hid that was
was
conscience when it says David's heart
conscience and here we have a whole
section in the New Testament dealing
with this matter of conscience you'll
notice in verse 16 having a good
conscience verse 21 but the answer of a
good good conscience you see there's
more than one kind of conscience in the
Bible if somebody were to invent a
conscience machine like an EKG
machine and if we were to put the straps
on our arms and plug it in and push the
buttons and it somehow told us what kind
of a conscience we
had you'd have oh several different
kinds of reports there is such a thing
as a good conscience that's one that
functions a good conscience is one that
when we do do wrong accuses us when we
do right commends us when a person has a
good conscience he's not afraid for the
phone to ring he's not afraid for the
male to arrive he's not afraid to look
somebody right straight in the face and
talk to them they came to Spurgeon one
day and said Mr Spurgeon we want to
write your life he said you may write my
life in the clouds I have nothing to
hide that's a good conscience the
Apostle Paul was slapped in the face for
saying I strive always to have a
conscience void of offense before God
and men and a good conscience is one
that enables me to come right to God
without fear or to come to Men Without
Fear a good conscience is one that
enables me not to be
afraid but the Bible talks about a defiled
defiled
conscience Titus 1:1 15 that's a
conscience that's starting to get
dirty and things that used to bother us
don't bother us anymore because
conscience has been defiled you must
educated it's possible for us to commit
certain sins and live in certain ways
and do it so
often that we get used to
it if there are sins in our lives
tonight that a year ago would have kept
us awake our conscience has gotten defiled
defiled
you see conscience is something like
these windows up there these windows do
not manufacture light they let the light
come in conscience is that window that
lets the light of God's truth come into
the heart but if the window gets
dirty the light can't get in there's a
defiled conscience Hebrews 10:22 talks
about an evil conscience you know what
that is an evil conscience is one that a
accuses us if we do good and commends us
if we do
evil there are people walking the
streets of Chicago who would be bothered
if they did something
good because their conscience is
evil an evil conscience is one that's
turned completely upside
down instead of being commended the
person is condemned when he does evil
instead of being approved the person is
accused used when he does good that's an
evil conscience and an evil conscience
starts with a defiled conscience a
little more dirt gets on the window
until no light comes in at all and
that's what Jesus meant when he said
when the light that is in you becomes
Darkness watch
out the Bible also talks about a seared
conscience now you've all had some some
kind of a of a callous on your hand or
perhaps your foot or perhaps you've had
a burn a serious burn and as a result
that whole area was deadened and hard
cauterized I have on occasion had to
have cauterization to stop
bleeding that's what he's talking about
in uh 1 Timothy 4:2 their conscience is
seared as with a hot iron there are
those who have so lived in sin that
their conscience no longer bothers
them I think I've told you about the man
I visited old Railroader worked in the
rail road and I sat in his living room
and talked to him about the Lord and
about what it meant to die and go to
hell what it meant to be lost
forever and he said to me preacher if
this floor opened up and I dropped into
hell right now it wouldn't bother me one
bit that is a
seared conscience
someone says let conscience be your
guide let a good conscience be your
guide not a defiled conscience not an
evil conscience not a seared conscience
and Peter's talking about a good
conscience now Peter knew something
about a good
conscience we sometimes like to
criticize Peter because he occasionally
fell but did you notice that when Peter
fell he got straightened out again Peter
denied the Lord three times but he went
out and he wept bitterly that's a good conscience
Peter got into trouble with the
Gentiles and so he pulled away and just
fellowship with the
Jews and Paul came and rebuked him and
Peter got straightened out because Peter
had a good conscience a good conscience
does not prevent you from occasionally
doing something wrong because you can
sin against your conscience so can I but
a good conscience makes it possible for
us to be so
miserable we don't want to stay out of
God's will too long read Psalm 32 if you
want to find out about David's
conscience when he tried to cover up his
sin now this paragraph 1 Peter
38-22 simply spells out to us the
blessings that come to your life when
you have a good conscience when you can
get up in the morning and not be afraid
you look in the mirror and not be
ashamed you can look anybody straight in
the eye and not wonder what do they know
about me a good conscience now what are
the blessings of a good conscience well verses
verses
8-2 a
consistency in our walk a good
conscience enables the believer to be
consistent in his walk look at it here
here
finally be ye all of One mind a Unity of
mind having compassion literally that
means being
sympathetic one of another so you not
only have the same mind you have the
same heart Oneness of feeling love as
Brethren be pitiful that means be full
of pity be be thoughtful of others be
courteous be humble-minded
not rendering evil for evil or railing
for railing somebody hollers at you you
holler back but on the contrary blessing
knowing that ye are called to this that
you should inherit a blessing for he he
that will love life and see good days
here he's quoting from Psalm
34 let him refrain his tongue from evil
his lips that they speak no guile let
him isue evil Turn Away From Evil hate
evil and do good let him seek peace and
pursue it and that word pursue means you
you strive after it you don't wait for
it to come you strive after it for the
eyes of the Lord are over the righteous
and his ears are open under their
prayers but the face of the Lord is
against them that do evil and who is he
that will harm you if ye be
followers of that which is
good Peter is telling us we can live on
three different
levels now the lowest level is to return
evil for good he talks about that in
verse 13 who is he that will harm you if
you be followers of that which is good
most people won't but there are some
people who are so evil that they return
evil for good that's the level the devil
lives on the lowest level the satanic
level is returning evil for
good now the next level is a human level
where most people live they return good
for good and evil for evil you scratch
my back I'll scratch your back love me
love my
dog that's the level most of the people
live on if you're good to me I'll be
good to you if you're mean to me I'll
just you just wait I'll find some way to
get back
now Christians aren't supposed to live
on the satanic level we never should
return evil for any
reason nor do we live on the human level
of just returning good for good or evil
for evil in The Sermon on the Mount
Jesus said even the Sinners can do
that we live on the highest level of
verse 9 where we return good for evil
and brothers and sisters that ain't easy to
to
me or
you we want to sideswipe and back
there's something in human nature that
is volatile there's there's enough
poison down there that when somebody
starts criticizing us we turn right
around criticize
them and so Peter says look if you've
got a good
conscience and somebody tears into you
you'll be calm
you're not going to worry about it why
the Lord's watching over you if you
really love life and I'm amazed at how
many people don't love life they just
endure it if you really love life and
you want to see good days have a good
conscience now what is a good day well
for the average person a good day means
no trouble no heartache no difficulty no
problems everything going beautifully
day what is a good day a good day is a
day in which we enjoy the blessings of
the Lord and we have a good
conscience now if someone says boy I had
a good day today I snuck out of this and
I cheated on that and I was able to lie
my way through that's not a good day
it's a bad day the devil ran that
day a good day is not necessarily one
that we are delivered from uh troubles
or difficulties or responsibilities or
problems he say if you love life and you
want to have a good day guard your
tongue just be careful what you say it
how you say it turn away from
Evil and seek after peace really work
for it pursue it don't just stand wait
for the dove to come flying down go
chase the dove with a net go after peace
be a peacemaker not a
troublemaker because God's eyes are
watching over you that's where a good
conscience comes in no matter what the
circumstances may be no matter what the
difficulties may be there can be a
consistency in our walk because we have
a good conscience you see a good
conscience reminds me verse 9 that I've
been called to get a
blessing a good conscience reminds me in
verses 10 and 11 that God's commanded me
not to do evil a good conscience reminds
me in verse 12 that God's going to Watch
Over Me the eyes of the Lord are over
the righteous his ears are open under
their prayers a good conscience is a
clean window through which the light
shines in and when the light shines in
it's so much easier to have a consistent
walk isn't it sure is and by the way it
starts with the
Brethren it starts with my getting along
with the Saints in this first section
he's talking about getting along with
the Saints in the second section he's
going to talk about our problems with
the unsaved in the third section our
problem with the devil if I can't get
along with the Saints if my conscience
doesn't allow me to have peace and joy
and harmony with the Saints I haven't
got a ghost of a chance of going out and
fight in the
world a good conscience gives us
consistency in our walk now dear friend
if any of us here tonight has been
having a problem with his
walk or with his
talk examine the conscience is there any
dirt on the conscience does the window
need cleaning
someplace in verses 13-1 17 he gives us
a Second Blessing of a good conscience
namely confidence in our
witness just before the service started
I walk was walking around like I am want
to do and one of our Sunday school girls
stopped me and said I have to ask you
something I said what's that she said uh
sometimes I'm afraid to witness I'm
afraid people are going to hurt me I
said you listen to my sermon tonight I'm
preaching about that and here it is but
and if you suffer for righteousness sake
happy are ye and be not afraid of their
Terror neither be troubled but sanctify
the Lord God in your hearts let me uh
rearrange that a little bit let me
retranslate it for you but
sanctify Jesus Christ as Lord in your
heart that's what he's saying and be
ready always to give an answer to every
man that askthe a reason of the hope
that is in you but do it with meekness and
and
respect having a good
conscience that whereas they speak evil
of you as of evildoers they may be
ashamed that falsely accuse you your
good manner of Life In Christ for it is
better if the will of God be so that you
suffer for well doing than for evil
doing he's talking about our witnessing
now this first paragraph talked about
our walking with God's people now he's
talking about witnessing to the
unsaved he's assuming that you and I are
going to be asked why we live the way we
live did you notice
that sanctify Jesus Christ as Lord in
your heart and be ready always to give
an answer that word answer is our word
apology or defense a defense for the
hope that is within you the reason for
the hope that's within you here is some
Christian slave and he's doing his work
and he's doing it happily he's not
cursing he's not grudging he's not
looking for some way to sneak off and
the boss notices this and the master
comes over and says I want to talk to
you slave yes
sir there's something different about
you what is it well I'm glad you asked
I'm a
Christian and he has an opportunity to
tell of the hope that he has within him
you see we Christians live in the future
tense we don't live in the past tense
our sins have been taken care of we live
in the future tense the reason we enjoy
the present is because we are sure about
the future now a good conscience gives
you confidence in your witness because
the walk and the talk go
together I don't have any chance of
having any power in my
witness if behind in the back of my mind
I'm saying I hope he doesn't know the
truth about
me Peter's making a very practical
application here he's saying when your
conscience is good when you're right
with God and right with man anybody can
ask you a question about you you in your
Christian life and you can answer it
without fear why Jesus Christ is Lord in
your heart Peter quotes in verse 14 I'm
sorry in verse 15 but sanctify the Lord
God in your hearts he's quoting from
Isaiah 8 it'd be worth us to turn back
and see the original of
that Isaiah chapter 8 verse 13 listen to it
it
sanctify the Lord of hosts
himself and let him be your fear and let
him be your dread now if we fear men
we're going to
fail if we fear what people say we're
going to fail but if we fear the lord
we'll never have to be afraid of the
face of men look at the next verse Isaiah
Isaiah
8:14 and he shall be for a
sanctuary what is he saying don't be
afraid if you sanctify Jesus Christ as
Lord in your heart if you the only fear
you have is disobeying him you'll have a
good conscience and if you fear God you
need fear nobody else you need not fear
the face of men the arguments of
men by the way you can usually tell when
a Christian does not have a good
conscience he lacks those two things
that Peter talks about at the end of
verse 15 when he Witnesses there's not
meekness in reverence there is a
pugilistic attitude there's an argumentative
argumentative
Spirit Peter says that's not necessary
you have unsaved neighbors you have
unsaved employers your boss is an
unsaved person he asks you about your
Christian faith he's not asking for an
argument he's asking for an explanation
this is no place to start a fight this
is a good place to open a witness Peter
is reminding us that we are not
Prosecuting attorneys we're Witnesses
and we should witness with meekness now
meekness is not weakness meekness is
strength under
control we as Christians if we have a
good conscience can just quietly tell
people what the Lord means to us with
reverence and with meekness and God will
bless it a good conscience gives us
consistency in our walk and a good
conscience gives us confidence in our
witness but there's a third blessing that
that
comes in verses 18 through U
22 we have one of the most difficult
passages in the New Testament doctoral
thesis have been written on these verses
whole books have been written on these
verses get the connection now the first
word in verse 18 is
four that takes us back to verse 17 it
is better if the will of God be so that
you suffer for well doing than for
evildoing here are these Christians and
they aren't disobeying God they have a
good conscience they're walking with the
Lord but they're going through
difficulty they're suffering for doing
good remember I said there are three
levels on which we can live and there
are people in your life who live on that
basement level that that that lower
level they return evil for good because
your good conversation your good beh
them and so here were these saints of
God that Peter's writing to and they
were suffering not for doing evil but
for doing good my friend you have
reached a new level of Christian Living
when you're suffering for doing good now
he says Christ also went through this
don't think it's something strange for
Christ also hath once suffered for Sins
Not His somebody else's the just for the
unjust now our suffering is not
vicarious I mean by that because I
suffer it can't help you I cannot suffer
for somebody else's sins my suffering
cannot atone for anybody's wickedness
but our Lord's did for Christ also hath
once suffered for sins the just for the
unjust that he might bring us to
God being put to death in the flesh but
Made Alive by the spirit now in the
original New Testament the Greek New
Testament there are no
capitals no capital G for God no capital
S for
Spirit uh our translators have TR have
have capitalized the word Spirit there
and there are some who believe it is the
holy spirit now there's no question that
the holy spirit of God did help in
raising Jesus from the
dead Made Alive by the Spirit by whom
also he went and preached unto the
spirits in prison
who at one time were disobedient when
Once the longsuffering of God waited in
the days of Noah while the ark Was
preparing in which few that is eight
Souls were saved by water the like
figure notice the word figure he's
talking in symbolism now the like figure
unto which even baptism does also now
save us but L somebody thinks water
washes away sin he puts a parenthesis in
here not the putting away of the filth
of the flesh but the answer and that
word answer is really the the the word
pledge but the pledge of a good
conscience toward God now let's leave
out the parenthesis and go back the like
figure unto which even baptism does now
also save us by the resurrection of
Jesus Christ who's gone into heaven and
is on the right hand of God angels and
author authorities and Powers being made
subject unto him now these angels and
authorities and powers that are
mentioned in verse 22 are the satanic
angels and authorities and powers and
the spirits that Jesus preached to in
verse 19 are not the spirits of Saved
people or lost people in Hell these are evil
evil
spirits you see when when Peter wants to
talk about people he talks about souls
verse 20 in which few that is eight
Souls were saved by water now what's he
talking about here what's this all about
Jesus Through the spirit went and talked
to some Spirits what in the world is he
talking about let me mention first of
all what he's not talking about he is
not saying that anybody has a second
chance after death he's not saying that
at all Peter knew better than that it's
appointed unto man once to die and after
that the Judgment my friend you get
saved in this life there is no second
chance after death
nor is he saying that any of us who are
alive today can help those who are dead
he's not talking about prayers for the
dead he's not talking about services for
the dead he's talking about an
experience that Jesus Christ
had between his death and his
resurrection now there are many good men
who believe that this is saying Jesus
through his Spirit the Holy Spirit
preached through Noah and this is
possible possible you can interpret it
that way I prefer to believe that the
word spirit in verse 18 should be a
small s that our Lord Jesus Christ in the
the
spirit went to that prison where those
Fallen satanic Angels were
confined who helped to pollute the world
in the days prior to the
flood when Satan was unleashing all of
his wickedness on this world and it got
so filthy dirty God had to wipe everything
everything
clean I think what Peter is saying is
this you don't have to agree with me but
the conclusion at least is there Peter
is saying this that between our Lord's
death and our Lord's
Resurrection he in the
spirit went to this prison house where
these satanic beings were held and he
declared to them his
victory he declared to the whole Realm
of the satanic his victory this is why
he ends this chapter saying angels and
authorities and Powers being made
subject unto him now why talk about this
because these people Peter was writing
to were fighting the
devil the hosts of hell would soon be
turned loose upon these people there
would be a fiery trial such as they had
that
Godless demon-possessed Nero was on the
throne and Christians were going to go
through the
furnace and so Peter is saying to them
you're going to suffer for doing good
but remember this Jesus suffered for
being for doing good but in his
suffering he won the victory he has been
raised from the dead he is seated in
heaven and all of the satanic hosts are
defeated therefore when you
face the enemy you face the enemy in
Victory now if I didn't believe that I'd
get out of the
ministry here in the city of Chicago
Satan is having a hay day there are
demonic forces at work that are wrecking
homes seeking to wreck churches ruined
lives people call us up and their minds
are so confused and their lives are so
torn apart it can only be the
devil if I did not believe that my Lord
on the cross stripped off principalities
and Powers then he went where they were
and he heralded that's what the word is
verse 19 it's not preach the
gospel nobody's preaching the gospel in
the other world there is is no good news
for the other
world the only good news you'll ever
hear is in this world or in heaven but
not in the realm of the satanic prison
and our lord Jesus went and declared to
Satan's host he announced the victory
that's the word he heralded the Victory
and then he arose from the dead then he
went back to heaven and all of the
angels and authorities and powers are
subject to him you know what that means
that means that you and I don't have to
fight for victory we fight from
victory that means when you are
confronted with the evil one and he may
be working through your
landl he might be working through the
person sitting next to you on the bus oh
how subtle he is when we confront that
evil one we can confront him with
confidence if you have a good conscience
now Satan loves a dirty conscience
because Satan's the
accuser and if our walk has not been
consistent then our witness is not going
to be confident and our Warfare is not
going to be courageous but if our
conscience is clear if we can look up to
God and say God in heaven my heart is
clean my life is given to you my
conscience is clean then the holy spirit
of God can give us Victory and courage
in our Warfare
now Peter brings Noah into this picture
for an interesting reason he wants to
talk about baptism some folks don't like
it when you talk about
baptism but the Bible talks about
baptism and you must remember that the
people that Peter wrote to paid a price
to get
baptized it doesn't cost a great deal to
be baptized today now for some people it
does I have baptized some Jewish people
some of our Hebrew Christian friend
friends who trusted the Lord it cost
them to get
baptized I have baptized people who came
from different religious faiths and
their family just wrote them right off
when they were baptized it cost them but
for the average person doesn't cost
anything to be baptized today they say
oh how wonderful you got baptized is
that great but back in this day it cost
something to get baptized and so Peter
is putting together two subjects their
baptism and their
suffering do you remember remember says
Peter when you were baptized now when
they were baptized they were immersed
even those who teach baptism by
sprinkling admit that in the New
immersion Peter said do you recall when
you were
baptized you went down under the water
death burial Resurrection that's what
Jesus did you were identified with Jesus
Christ in death burial and Resurrection
Noah you say what in the world does Noah
have to do with baptism death burial and
Resurrection the rain came down and the whole
whole
globe was
immersed God buried
sin but that same water that buried sin
ark now Noah wasn't saved by the water
Noah was saved by the ark the ark is a
picture of Jesus Christ that's another
sermon I won't preach it tonight too hot
for two
sermons but the ark is a picture of
Jesus Christ the only way of Salvation
in the whole world was the ark there's
only one way of Salvation tonight Jesus
Christ that Ark only had one door to it
Jesus Christ is the only
way God called them into the ark God
didn't say go God said come
they came into the ark and God shut them
in and God says come to you tonight why
don't you to step into the Ark of Safety
trust Jesus Christ and when you trust
him God shut you
in and no matter what the circumstances
were the noise the Thunder the lightning
the rain the Judgment they were safe in the
the
ark no matter what may happen you're
safe in Jesus Christ if you've trusted
him as your savior now God baptized the world
world
and there was death burial
Resurrection Noah in the ark with his
family were raised up and left on The
Mountaintop by the way it's rather
interesting to note that they they
landed on the Mountaintop on the 17th
month now the Jewish calendar begins with
with
October October November December mber
January February March April you know
what happened on the 14th day of
April Jesus was crucified in the cross
you know what happened on the 17th day
of April he was raised from the dead
Noah landed Noah was resurrected on the
very date that Jesus was raised from the
dead so Peter sees a connection here
Noah was raised Noah was a witness
against the wickedness of his day for
120 years and they laughed at him they
said he was crazy can you imagine
preaching for 120 years and having only seven
seven
converts he'd never be written up in our
in Christianity
Today they'd never invite Noah to run
around hold seminars on how to win
souls 120 years and seven people his own
family got
saved when it was all
over was Noah a failure no did Noah
suffer for righteousness sake yes how
did he end up on top did Jesus suffer
for righteousness sake yes how do he end
up on top are you suffering for
righteousness sake yes then you ought to
end up on top do you remember when you
were baptized yes why were you baptized
God commanded it it's the answer of a
good conscience toward God nobody gets
baptized to be saved Peter makes that very
very
clear why are we baptized it's God
commandment we want to have the reply
the pledge of a good conscience toward
God now what do we pledge in
baptism when I was pastoring my first
church I had a lady who used to come and
hear me preach and about once every six
months she'd say I want to be baptized
so we'd make arrangements for it and
she'd never get
baptized 6 months later I want to be
baptized her son was in my Sunday school
class at that time I thought boy
something wrong here I go to the home
and visit are you saved oh yes I'm saved
yes but when the time came for her to
take that step she'd never do it and I
found out later on why she never was
saved she had no desire to live a Godly
life now baptism is
important baptism is the answer of a
good conscience toward God I am saying I
am identified with Jesus Christ in death
burial and Resurrection I'm going to
life so Peter reminds them of of their
baptism and says just live up to your baptismal
baptismal
promise you told God Here I Am Lord I
want your life to be lived out through
me so the whole paragraph whatever
problems anybody may bring up the whole
paragraph is saying this Jesus suffered
for righteousness Noah suffered for
righteousness both of them were raised
up you were baptized you were raised up
you will suffer for
righteousness the and all that will live
Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer
persecution but don't worry about it
he's gone into heaven that's where
you're going to go someday and he's at
the right hand of God so you can pray to
him and all of the angels and
authorities and Powers have been made
subject unto him this is not the good
Angels they never had to be made subject
unto him they always were it's the evil
angel Satan made subject unto
him that means that since you and I have
a good
conscience we can come to the one who's
at the right hand of
God and he gives us victory over the evil
conscience the
book The
Blood The Blessed
hope the book look wherewith all shall a
young man cleanse his way or an old man
for that matter by taking heed to Thy
word now are you clean through the word
that I've spoken unto you Hebrews 10
says let's come to the throne of grace
having our bodies washed with water and
our consciences
purified the
book I don't know about you but when I
read this book God convicts me and God
says Hey the window is dirty let's wash
the window a little bit the blood if we
confess our sins he's faithful and just
to forgive us our sins the Blessed hope
every man that haveth this hope in him purifies
purifies
himself and a good conscience means we
can have consistency in our
walk and when there's consistency in our
walk a good conscience means we can have
confidence in our witness Not
Afraid and when you have confidence in
your witness people are going to fight
you and you're going to suffer for
righteousness sake but a good conscience
will give us Christ courage in our
Warfare and so whether it be the flesh
or the world or the devil what
difference does it make a good
conscience puts us in touch with the
power of God and I tell you having a
good conscience keeps your backbone
Strong having a good conscience keeps
your feet on the straight and narrow
having a good
conscience gives you discernment and you
say no that's not a part of my life I
don't want that no that's not yes that's
the thing
it's a beautiful thing to live with a good
good
conscience but oh if you've got a bad
conscience an evil conscience a defiled
conscience a seared
conscience the devil's got a foothold
trouble now perhaps you've never been
saved at all tonight maybe you don't
even know the first thing about having
your conscience cleansed your heart
washed a new life down in inside you
ought to come and Trust
Christ perhaps I speak to some Christian
who has been playing with
sin and as a consequence conscience has
gotten a little bit dirty let me change
the picture if I may do you remember the
story Dr Ironside used to tell about the
Indian he had a lot of good stories
because he worked with the Indians and
he was talking about conscience the
Indians said I know what you're talking
about conscience is like an arrow head
down in my
heart and when the Indian does something
me and Dr Ironside said but what if you
keep sinning oh he said it takes the
much good
theology is there something in my life
that a year ago would have kept me awake
all night but but now I can put up with
conscience let God do what he wants to
do in your heart tonight my friend
having a good conscience gracious
father I pray for those here who need to be
be
saved you've brought them here and Jesus
died for them and the spirit speaks to
them and we exhort them I pray that
you'll help them to come and be saved
help that Christian who has given the
devil a foothold to get a good conscience
conscience
tonight for I pray it in Jesus name
