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!

A Hard Saying
John 6:53-71 53Then Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink his blood, ye have no life in you.
54Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, hath eternal life; and I will raise him up at the last day.
55For my flesh is meat indeed, and my blood is drink indeed.
56He that eateth my flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him.
57As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by me.
58This is that bread which came down from heaven: not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead: he that eateth of this bread shall live for ever.
59These things said he in the synagogue, as he taught in Capernaum.
60Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?
61When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you?
62What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before?
63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
64But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
65And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
66From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
67Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
68Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
69And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.
70Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?
71He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve.
What does it mean to eat Jesus flesh and drink His blood? Was he talking about cannibalism? No way! When looking at this passage we need to remember verse 63 "the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life". Jesus used earthly things to convey His heavenly teachings. This passage might make some wonder and scratch their heads. But it's good to go over the hard sayings of the Bible and see what we believe. Jesus wasn't talking about literally eating Him and drinking His blood, He was talking about having a real vibrant relationship with Him. In John chapter 1 it says the word was made flesh, so to eat His flesh is to take in His word the Bible by reading, studying, meditating, listening, and talking about it. And to drink His blood means to have His blood cover us and cleanse us from all our sins. We need to partake of Christ's flesh and blood daily not just at a communion service, and to have Him living inside of us so that we're going where He wants us to go and doing what He wants us to do. I challenge everyone who reads this to let Jesus live inside of you and take complete controll. I have been His servant for 17 years and as each day, month, year passes (too quickly!) I love Him more and more.

Fall In Love With Jesus
Below is a sermon I preached this morning, my hearts prayer is that we may fall madly and desperately in Love with the Lover of our soul Jesus Christ! May this sermon encourage and challenge you
Yohn
Love-a profoundly tender, passionate affection for another person/to have a strong liking for; take great pleasure in
Introduction- I looked up the word Love on google and there were About 2,380,000,000 it covered anything from loving a person, place, or thing. Love is horribly misunderstood in our word. The world says that if you love me you have to do something for me, and I can love you one day but not the next. God’s love is true, always there, and pure
1. He Loves Us
a. Even before we knew Him
Romans 5:8 But God shows his great love for us in this way: Christ died for us while we were still sinners. while we were of no use whatever to him.
b. His love is real and true
1 John 4:10 This is what real love is: It is not our love for God; it is God's love for us in sending his Son to be the way to take away our sins.
He is jealous for me,
Loves like a hurricane, I am a tree,
Bending beneath the weight of his wind and mercy.
When all of a sudden,
I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me.
2. I Choose To Love Him
a. With all of me
Matthew 22:37 Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind
b. Our love must be real
Romans 12:9 Your love must be real. Hate what is evil, and hold on to what is good.
Conclusion- I encourage you this morning to fall madly in love with Jesus, by walking with Him, and talking with Him, and listening to Him. He’s here with us this morning let Him have all of you!

A Servant Heart
Do you struggle with pride? God has recently showed me that pride doesn't just have to be outward you know the guy whose macho who thinks he's big and bad. Or the person who thinks they're better than everyone else. Pride can also be inward like you think you need more recognition than you get, and nobody sees just how truely talented and gifted you are. I have battled with this problem for years and God showed me how to battle against it. The first scripture he put in my head that just kept coming (you know how the Holy Spirit does that!) Philippians 2:3 Let nothing be done through selfish ambition (pride) or conceit, but in lowliness (humble) of mind let each esteem (treat) others better than himself. And then I have been teaching and studying the book of Acts and the life of Paul the Apostle. Paul states several times that he is a servant of Jesus Christ like Romans 1:1 From Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ and the word Servant in Greek means- a slave, bondman,one who gives himself up to another's will, devoted to another to the disregard of one's own interests. May Jesus help us to be true servants for Him and His Glory! Can you imagine how much better this world would be if every Christian was a servant of Christ people who serve God and serve others? If you happen to share with my struggle with inward pride I encourage you to start battling against it by becoming a Servant for Jesus and having a servant heart and then He'll set you free as John 8:36 says So if the Son sets you free, you will be absolutely free. God bless
Yohn
