'No Christian can be
so spiritual as to have no further necessity to confess his sin. He must be
fallen spiritually if his conscience is dull and insensitive. Excellent
knowledge, hard labor, excited feeling and strong will cannot substitute for a
sensitive conscience. He who does not heed it but seeks mental and sensational
progress is retrogressing spiritually. The sensitivity of the conscience can be
increased as well as decreased. Should anyone give ground to his conscience to
operate, his spirit’s window will let in more light next time; but should he
disregard it or answer it with reason or works other than what it demands, then
his conscience will speak more and more softly each time it is rejected until
ultimately it ceases to speak. Every time a believer does not listen to
conscience he damages his spiritual walk. If this self-inflicted wounding of
his spiritual life continues unabated, he shall sink into the state of being
fleshly. He will lose all his former distaste for sin and former admiration of
victory. Until we learn to face squarely the reproach which arises from
conscience, we do not actually appreciate how meaningful to our walk in the
spirit this heeding of the voice of conscience is. ' The Spiritual Man - By Watchman Nee
