WASHED | FROM SHARED LIES TO SHARED LIFE

Series: “Washed”. Sermon #5 “The Blood

—

Go From Shared Lies To Shared Life.”

Revelation 1:5-6 “To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, and has

made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever.

Amen.”

Romans 4:25 (TPT) “Jesus was handed over to be crucified for the forgiveness of our sins and was

raised back to life to prove that He had made us right with God!”

“Sin-induced separation is ‘real’ to us, but is itself the delusion that continues to fuel our darkness.

Jesus did not pay off God by dying for our sins. He is God. He became our sin and brought it to

death in order to liberate us from sin and death. Jesus wasn’t changing God; He was changing you.”

John Crowder

Hebrews 9:8-9 (AMP) “By this the Holy Spirit points out that the way into the [true Holy of] Holies is

not yet thrown open as long as the former [the outer portion of the] tabernacle remains a recognized

institution and is still standing, Seeing that that first [outer portion of the] tabernacle was a parable (a

visible symbol or type or picture of the present age). In it gifts and sacrifices are offered, and yet are

incapable of perfecting the conscience or of cleansing and renewing the inner man of the worshiper.”

Hebrews 9:14 “how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered

Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?”

Conscience:— an inner faculty that judges the moral quality of one's motives and actions, acting as

a sense of right and wrong.

Etymologically derived from Latin conscientia ("joint knowledge"), it suggests a "sharing of

knowledge" with oneself. It acts as an internalised moral compass.

Literal Meaning:— "With-knowledge" or "knowledge shared within oneself".

It is a translation of the Greek suneidesis,"together-knowledge".

Conscience:— The inner agreement system.

The lens through which you interpret God, yourself, and reality.

The place where truth or lies become “normal”.

You don’t live from behavior—you live from what you are convinced is true.

The Conscience is more a “Window” than a judgement mechanism.

Biblically, it functions more like:

It lets light in. It frames reality. It determines what feels true.

Your conscience doesn’t create truth, It reflects the light it’s been exposed to.

If it’s shaped by:

Fear — God looks distant. Shame — you feel unworthy. Religion — you feel never enough

Shared knowledge builds authoritative voices in your head.

“You’re not enough.” “God is disappointed.”

“You’re still distant.” “Try harder.”

The battle is not about behaviour. It’s about your conscience, what you’ve come to accept as truth.

“If you don't recognize that a conscience is the key to freedom, then you'll try to change behaviors.

Changing behaviors is the fruit of a defiled conscience.” Tommy Millar2 Corinthians 1:12 (NIV). “Now this is our boast: Our conscience testifies that we have conducted

ourselves in the world, and especially in our relations with you, with integrity and godly sincerity. We

have done so, relying not on worldly wisdom but on God’s grace.”

1 Timothy 1:5 “Now the purpose of the commandment is love from a pure heart, from a good

conscience, and from sincere faith,”

Matthew 16:16-17 “Simon Peter answered and said, ‘You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’

Jesus answered and said to him, ‘Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah, for flesh and blood has not

revealed this to you, but My Father who is in heaven.”

1 Corinthians 15:50 “Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of

God;” You cannot embrace God’s way of life if your base of shared knowledge is in ADAM.

Hebrews 2:14 “Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise

shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the

devil,” (prone to accusation)

Genesis 3:11 “Who told you that?” It was a question of conscience.

Adam chose to embrace shared knowledge from the serpent.

From that moment humanity lived from shared knowledge with the lie.

Shame, fear, and separation became the new normal.

Living out of Adam cannot reveal to you the things of God.

You need to be re-fathered.

The blood of Jesus does that.

You are re-fathered through the blood of Jesus and given a pure conscience.

You can now walk in the shared knowledge of the Godhead.

We were brought into a new covenant and a new family with new lineage, new DNA.

We were born from above.

We have a new father.

John 3:7 “You must be born again.”

2 Timothy 1:12 “…for I know whom I have believed and am persuaded that He is able to keep what I

have committed to Him until that Day.” My shared knowledge is personal!

The single most important question you may ever answer is: Who told you that?

Your life is framed by shared knowledge.

2 Corinthians 5:7. “For we walk by faith, not by sight.”

The blood of Jesus didn’t change God’s mind about you, it changed your capacity to know God.

Complete recalibration.

“The gospel is not about getting you to behave—it’s about waking you up.” John Crowder

“Jesus has done something to humanity itself, not just for it.” Baxter Kruger

Whatever you partner with, you experience.

That experience frames and shapes your reality.

That reality becomes what people experience when they encounter you.

Dead works are not just sinful actions, they are sincere efforts disconnected from the life of God.Prayer is good —until you use it to get close to God.

Fasting is good—until you use it to get God to move.

Bible study is good—until you use it to become acceptable.

Sons feast. Slaves negotiate.

The heart break of religion is that it can take the most precious, holiest things and make them

instruments of self-righteousness.

The tabernacle said: “Stay out.”

The blood of Jesus says: “Come all the way in—and bring your mind with you.”

You are no longer:

Living from borrowed lies

You are now:

Living from shared knowledge with God

Living “works” flow from union.

Not for acceptance — from acceptance

Not for identity — from identity

Not to get close — you are close

Grace doesn’t eliminate works—

it resurrects them.

Revelation 12:10-11 “…who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down. And

they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not

love their lives to the death.”
