7. MAINTAIN A PURE CONSCIENCE
(Psa 66:18, 1 Tim 1:10,1 John 3:18-20, 8:23, Isa 58:8, 62:1, 1 Pet 1:16, Rom 8:1-2, 6 , 11-17, 5:17, 1:4)
• The biggest stumbling block is the position of your heart before God.
• How your heart is as you stand before God is more important than anything else.
• Confidence before God is more precious than anything else.
• Our confidence in God creates the benefits we can get from God.
• Righteousness can never be bigger or smaller, but your consciousness of it can be bigger or smaller.
• Prayer and fasting establishes righteousness-consciousness (Isa 58:8).
• Staying away from sin will help you maintain your righteousness.
• By making considerations based on what you’re seeing in the circumstances surrounding you, you come to a wrong conclusion of who you are and how you are standing before God.
• There is a difference between how a son asks his mother / father for something and how a beggar asks for something.
• A son asks with confidence knowing that there is a relationship between him and his mother / father, and he also knows they have an obligation to fulfill it.
• Some christians ask for things from God as beggars.
• Walking after the flesh is walking as dictated by the things you hear and see.
• Walking by the spirit will kill the desires of the flesh in you.
• The spirit of adoption builds children of God to become heirs.
• The Spirit of God trains you on how to handle the inheritance you’ve received from God your father and how to rule in life and destiny.
• The Holy Spirit teaches us the behaviour of heaven.
• A mentality of holiness will free you from peer pressure because you will know that you are set apart and you can’t be like everyone else.
• If you know that you are different and you are the one who is supposed to have an effect on others, the influence of others won’t affect.
• How you dress, talk and act will be influenced by your understanding of who you are.
Mat 28:19-20
• Kings set trends for others to follow, they don’t follow trends set by others.

• Without power, the plans of God will never come to pass in your life.
Mark 1:12, Mat 4:1-11, Est 4:16, 5:2
• Your refusal to follow example is the reason why you can’t have the results that others have.
• We are in the last days.
• Strange diseases will come upon the earth in the last days.
• Christians who don’t know the language of power have no future.
Psa 66:3
• You have to increase in power to defeat the enemies that are opposing you.
• People will be willing to buy from you and do business with you when you have power (Psa 110:3).
• It takes power to heal the sick (Luke 5:17).
• In the school of power, prayer and fasting is none negotiable.
