The Ten Commandments
We’re given to the children of Israel
Exodus 20:1
And God spake all these words saying
Here we see God is speaking to Moses on mount Sinai
Delivering a set of rules for Israel
God Himself writing on a set of tablets made of stone
These commandments
Are for all generations to come and they speak truth in them
God covered lot of ground here
We can apply these commands to our lives today
They received these commands shortly after there departure from the land of Egypt
Also called the house of bo***ge
Exodus 20:3
Thou shalt have NO other gods before ME
God making a strong
Statement here!
Before ME: over against ME
All false gods and false hood all stand in opposition to the One True God
When Israel departed from the worship of the Only one true God they went into confusion
Israel had just left Egypt
A nation with many false gods
The Lord showed them
With any doubts that He was the One True God
In todays life whatever you put before God
Is your God
What ever you spend more time on is considered your God
He said
You will not have other gods before Me
So many things can distract us from worshipping God
Israel wanted something tangible something they could see
They realized that Moses was not coming down from the mountain 🏔️
He had went to receive
The Commandments-of God
And the children of Israel Quickly turned to worship a golden calf
Made of gold after seeing the miracles God did for them
Have you 🫵 turned your back on God after He took you out from the land of bo***ge? Have you 🫵turned back to your old lifestyles?
God said YOU 🫵 shall
Have NO!!!! Other gods
Before ME!
Amen!

Isaiah 40:31 kjv
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength
They shall mount up with wings of Eagles 🦅
They shall run and not be weary
And they shall walk and not faint

To wait upon the Lord
Is principle of patience
To wait is to move put in action your faith.
Not being able to see ahead of you, but faith does that very thing.
We walk by faith and not by sight,
By faith Noah built an ark,
Abraham went out knowing whither he went.
We are sent on journeys
That only God knows our future
As these men of God did
These men were obedient to the Lord
It will take patience on our part and to trust God
God through our weakness gives man the opportunity to pour
His strength into us when we ask for His help
When we pray we must believe and patiently wait for His answer
Israel was in a situation after leaving Egypt
The sea was before them and the enemy was coming to attack them
They had no where to run they were in the middle of the battle
And some times we find ourselves in the same situation as they were
But God opened the sea up and they escaped the Egyptians
And made it to safety
God has not forgotten about you He sees our situations
And will make an escape for you
The strength of the Lord makes all possible
Where there is no way
He can make a way
You shall mount up with wings as Eagles 🦅
Amen

Luke 22:31-32
And the Lord said
Simon Simon behold satan hath desired to have you
That he may sift you as wheat
But I prayed for thee
That your faith fail not
And when thou art converted strengthen thy brethren

Simon Simon
The repetition of his name is implying an earnest tone of warning ⚠️
Jesus told Peter
satan has desired to have you
There was something about Peter that the devil desires from him
He knew Peter was called he knew Peter was with Jesus and when the devil knows this
He will try everything in his power to distract you and try to take you out of the Will of God
The devil did that to Peter
When Jesus was going to be crucified Peter ran for his life and he denied the king of glory
Three times
The devil had him on the run
But Jesus looked upon him and said
But I have prayed for you that your faith fail you not
Jesus knew all this he knew he was going to deny him
Jesus address this to Peter specifically warning ⚠️ him
satan desires to have you
To desire is to want something severely
Have you ever wanted something and you did whatever you could to get it
Thats how the devil feels when he wants the children of God
he wants to sift you as wheat
When trials come and try our faith it’s undesirable
But it has a necessary
Refining effect for us
And one of those is
It will make you stronger if we don’t faint
Jesus loved Peter
As he loves you
Trials are needed
Because through troubles we grow
it don’t feel good but they are necessary in a Christian walk
After Peter going through his testing he was able to help others out
Peter himself failed
But his faith was never overthrown
Wheather the storm ⛈️
Amen

Mark 4:19 kjv
And the cares of this world and deceitfulness
Of riches and other lusts of other things entering in choke the and it becometh unfruitful.

The cares of this world
🌎 talking about distractions of this life
We were made to worship and serve the the Lord and too many distractions are in the world; taking our minds of off God and putting our minds on what doesn’t matter.
We are distracted by many things and not putting our minds on the main thing.
A distraction comes in many forms and sizes.
Anything that takes away your time and worship is a distraction.

The children of Israel saw the mighty hand of God working
But when Moses went to pray on the mountain for 40 days and 40 nights the children of Israel corrupted them selves. When Moses was on the mountain they got distracted and they took their focus of off God and corrupted themselves with the things of this world.

Quickly they ran back to idol worship which is hated in the eyes of God. Deceitfulness is around us today be careful.
Not only money and material possessions satisfy the desires of the heart or bring happiness but they blind those who pursue eternal life.
Things of the world become more important than studying The word of God.
These are finally overcome with lust for worldly things and bear no fruit at all they satisfied them selves and loose out on their salvation.
Let it go and serve the Lord.
Amen

2 Corinthians 4:8 kjv
We are troubled on every side
Yet not distressed
We are perplexed
But not in despair
John 16:33
In the world ye shall have tribulation ( troubles)(difficulties)(distress)(suffering)
But be of good cheer
I have overcome the world
Romans 8:35
Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?
Shall tribulation or distress or persecution or famine or nakedness or peril or sword

What can separate us from Gods love here is a list of Things that can try but will not succeed because God has overcome this world
When Jesus walked the earth He was God in the Flesh He had troubles at times He found himself homeless didn’t have a place to rest His head He hungered
He went through temptations but yet He still had a plan in mind
This didn’t hold Him down
In this life we will have difficulties it’s how we deal with them every
Problem we encounter
Has a solution and it’s found in the word of God
He said be of good cheer I have overcome the World or the problems of the world
Paul an apostle never once complained of his troubles he just stayed steadfast in his faith
Knowing he was being tried in the fire 🔥
What do we do when it heats up
We Trust In The LORD
As Paul did
We must not break under pressure the world brings
Paul was shipped wreak
Beaten imprisonment
But his faith stood strong in the Lord
He knew who he believed in do you🫵
We cannot run when times get hard
We cannot throw in the towel
Paul gave four metaphors to show that his weakness did not cripple him but actually made him stronger
If the trial don’t make you it will break you
But troubles do come to our lives and they are their to make us stronger
Paul did not give up when he faced these things he kept his eyes focused on Jesus and he was not easily moved
Why because of the troubles he went through made him stronger he trusted in Jesus
We must be like an old oak tree 🌳
Which is rooted DEEPLY and is not easily blown over
We must not focus on the problems around us
But focus on the problem FIXER
Jesus Christ who will see us through
If we don’t give up
Stay focused and Strong 💪
You can do it!!!!!!!
Amen

Luke 9:58 kjv
And Jesus said unto him
Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nets
But the Son of Man hath not where to lay his head

Here Jesus tells this man are you willing to follow me their will be a cost are You 🫵 willing to follow the Call of God?
He told the man that He had no place to lay his head or sleep. Every one who picks up the cross and follows Jesus has a price to pay. Are you willing to follow Him? It could cost you your family, your loved ones, your friends, your Job etc.
Because when you follow the Master everything changes you are not of your own anymore pYou belong to Christ He will lead you and guide you
1 Corinthians 6:20
For ye are bought with a price
Jesus on the Cross paid the ultimate price for you 🫵
And yes there is a price to pay
The man had a strong tug in his heart
The Lord Spirit was drawing him to follow Jesus
Are you ready? don’t let this opportunity pass you by grab of hold of Jesus and make Him your master
You will not regret your decision
I thank Jesus today for my calling and will serve him until He returns
Amen

Acts 3:4-5 kjv
And Peter fasting his eyes upon him with John said
Look on us
And he gave heed unto them
Expecting to receive of something of them

We see here this lame
man and this crippled world
This man was looking for help
As we see many today looking for help and searching for answers but many times we are looking in the wrong places
Many that i know run to palm readers seeking answers
This is evil and not the way
There is a song that says
Jesus is the answer for the world today
We rather run to other sources and leave Jesus out of it
Jesus holds all the answers He’s the mechanic of life
He created it
Jesus holds the true solutions to any problem He left His word for us
The world tries to figure out how to deal with our problems
There is only one answer His Name is Jesus
The Bible is our hand book for living
All instructions to live a happy life are explained in the Bible
It is the ONLY thing that will work
Jesus is the source of life and without Him we can’t do anything
He will guide you 🫵
But are you willing to surrender your life to Him?
Amen
