When is the last time you have read the Ten Commandments and asked yourself to change for the better?

Here are the Ten Commandments

 

Thou shalt have no other gods before Me…Exodus 20:3 (No other religions)

Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image…Exodus 20:4 (no lucky charms or idols)

Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain…Exodus 20:7 (Only use Jesus or God’s name in prayer or teaching)

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy Exodus 20:8 (keep yourself Holy so you can worship God)

Honor thy father and thy mother…Exodus 20:12 (do not disrespect your mom or your dad)

Thou shalt not kill…Exodus 20:13 (do not murder)

Thou shalt not commit adultery…Exodus 20:14 (be faithful to your marriage)

Thou shalt not steal…Exodus 20:15 (Do not steal)

Thou shalt not bear false witness…Exodus 20:16 (Do not lie)

Thou shalt not covet …Exodus 20:17 (Do not want what your neighbors have but want what God has given you)

 

If you practice loving your neighbor as your own self…then you will be practicing these…especially if you love God above all as your Supreme Neighbor. Never say God and not be praying or teaching.(you do want someone to say your name and then be like I did not mean to say it) Never look to a good luck charm or an idol for a blessing. Never disrespect your mom or your dad. (You gain respect by giving respect) Never murder someone. (you do not want to die so do not kill) Never cheat on your spouse. (you do not want your spouse to cheat so do not cheat) Never steal. You do not want it stolen from you so do not steal) Never lie. (you do not want to be lied to so do not lie) Never want someone else’s stuff (you do not want someone eyeing your stuff so do not want other peoples stuff but be content with what you have)

 

So are you truly loving God and your neighbor…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father help us keep Your commandments and love our neighbors as ourself and especially You so we can worship you in spirit and truth any day…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Wisdom has two parts…1 Having a lot to say….2 Not saying it.

 

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraids not; and it shall be given him. But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavers is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. A double minded man is unstable in all his ways...James 1:5-8 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction...Proverbs 1:7… For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad...2 Corinthians 5:10.

 

Do you use discretion when you speak…yes or no? Our words should be encouraging a life well lived. We should turn away from evil deeds and words and use ourselves as instruments of doing what is right. Is it hard to keep your mouth shut or to speak right…we can always walk away from a situation and not participate. We can all try to better the situation and not make it worse if we participate at all then let us as it is written… Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers...Ephesians 4:29.

 

I myself need to work on my words…I sometimes slip and cuss. I spent a long time cussing before I became a Christian and some times I still slip and do. I hope I can be encouraging and say the things needed to better a person or situation. I know we will be judged even by the idle words we say and many times wish I did not cuss when I have done so. So I am going to try to have cleaner speech…because it just does not sound right…I am a Christian but sometimes a cuss a little.

 

Prayer

Father please forgive me of my cussing and help me to stop using idle words…please meet my soul’s deepest needs and heal my wounds…and heal those offended by any cuss words or my behavior in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Do you want to go to heaven or hell…

 

Heaven is a place and you will never get there unless you decide to go. You have to make yourself ready to go to heaven…you have to be prepared. If you continue to live your life however you see fit then you will certainly go to hell. There is good news a man name Jesus the Christ died on the cross and was raised from the dead so you could be forgiven and get prepared to enter into Heaven. Jesus is the only Son of our Creator…there is no other man that has been the Only Son of our Creator…He died on a cross and was raised from the dead so you could never choose evil again and empowers us to overcome the evil we face.

 

The path to Heaven is filled with good deeds and the pathway to hell is filled with good intentions. Do you do what Jesus said…or do you intend to one day? Do you want to be adopted into the Kingdom of God…yes or no?

 

Listen to what Jesus told a man named Nicodemus…

Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. The wind blows where it lists, and thou hear the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it comes, and whither it goes: so is every one that is born of the Spirit...John 3:3-8

 

Have you been born of the water and the Spirit…yes or no? If no then you are not prepared and need to listen to the message Peter spoke through inspiration of the Holy Spirit of how to become born of the water and the Spirit…

 

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying, Save yourselves from this untoward generation...Acts 2:38-40.

 

Have you been born of the water and the Spirit like Peter told those in Jerusalem…yes or no?

Will you be baptized…yes or no? Jesus said, “He that believes and is baptized will be saved” Mark 16:16. Do you still confess Jesus and that you have been baptized…yes or no?

 

Prayer

Father help us to have done the things we need to do in order to be in the Kingdom of God so we may be not rejected but accepted in Christ…please meet our soul’s deepest needs and heal our wounds and sin in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.
