covenant of conscience

"The covenant of conscience".

I was also thinking about how children are born into the world. They are totally self seeking. Toddlers pretty much just care about getting their own needs met. But older people if they press on to know the Lord, in the last years, months, weeks of their life, their only concern is that those they love have their needs met.

I was thinking about the job a parent has to carve their children's conscience. The truth is children know when they are doing wrong. But if the parent is checked out in his or her conscience, they will deal with their children in a way that does not prosper their children. Getting their children to read their own mail, discern their own conscience is what parenting is
all about. If you are brutish in your own conscience, you won't even see where your children are at to help them. And if you don't wake up your children's conscience to God's voice inside
them you have failed as a parent, and passed on all your familiars to them.

When I was 5 years old, my older brother took me into a store and taught me how to steal. (The adrenaline rush from that is similar to the feeling you get when you are about to wreck your
car.) I'm sure it's similar to heroine too.) So here I am as a 5 year old, totally vexed my soul,
having a demon, evil energy come on me, and no one to read my mail. No one to help me wake up to the kingdom of God in my own soul. They didn't hear God's voice and do it so they could not take me somewhere they did not go. "the would not enter in and kept those who would from entering in." I needed someone to help me know my own soul. The difference between God's voice and the devil and someone to help me count the cost. But the adults, grieved, denied, resisted the Holy Ghost and were brutish.

We are conduit's for familiar spirits, when we don't understand the kingdom of God in our conscience, vs the kingdom of Satan. When we are conscience vexers we CANNOT HELP OUR
CHILDREN, HUSBAND, ANYONE, enter in. For we are not entering in.

Seeing that that first [outer portion of the] tabernacle was a parable (a visible symbol or type or picture of the present age).
