Applying the 10 Commandments
1. YOU SHALL HAVE NO OTHER "GODS" BEFORE ME
2. YOU SHALL NOT MAKE FOR YOURSELF AN IDOL
3. YOU SHALL NOT TAKE THE NAME OF GOD IN VAIN
4. REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY
5. HONOR YOUR FATHER AND YOUR MOTHER
6. YOU SHALL NOT MURDER
7. YOU SHALL NOT COMMIT ADULTERY
8. YOU SHALL NOT STEAL
9. YOU SHALL NOT LIE
10. YOU SHALL NOT COVET
I have always looked at the 10 Commandments by thinking ok I don't steal or murder etc.. and thinking I'm doing ok. But as I was recently looking at this list revelation came to me. God says that men and women are capable of doing each and everything on this list and we will if we let our minds get junked up. We are (I am) capable of not only stealing and lying but also commiting adultery, and murdering someone. The parents of serial killers killers never think that their child was ever capable of doing the things they did, but they were and so are we. There are three gates to our heart our eye gate, our ear gate, and our mouth gate. What are we watching and looking at especially when we're alone? What are we listening to? Is it perverse music cause you claim you like the beat? What words are we letting slip off our toungues? Every one cusses right? The bible says "You must be holy because I, the Lord, am holy. I have set you apart from all other people to be my very own" Leviticus 20:26. We must fight to be pure and holy in this world cause sin is all around us. This fight is impossible on our own we must allow Jesus to have all (every part) of us and be filled with the Holy Spirit. So I encourage all who read this to remember that we all our capable of doing horrible things but if we allow God to get ahold of us we will do awesome things for Him!
