How often have you heard a sermon or had a conversation discussing the Ten Commandments?
The Ten Commandments
Now God spoke all these words, saying:
I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
You shall have no other gods before Me.
You shall not make for yourself any graven idol, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water below the earth. You shall not bow down to them or serve them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generation of them who hate Me, and showing lovingkindness to thousands of them who love Me and keep My commandments.
You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold guiltless anyone who takes His name in vain.
Remember the Sabbath day and keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a Sabbath to the Lord your God. On it you shall not do any work, you, or your son, or your daughter, or your male servant, or your female servant, or your livestock, or your sojourner who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested on the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and made it holy.
Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
You shall not murder.
You shall not commit adultery.
You shall not steal.
You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his manservant, or his maidservant, or his ox, or his donkey, or anything that is your neighbor’s.
I often think if we obeyed the law of the Father, we would see much more of Him. We would see more healings, deliverance and miracles of all kinds. We would begin to understand how important having a relationship with the Father is. We would have more revelation of the operation of the kingdom of Abba. The Ten Commandments are very clear and extremely relevant today. We need to obey them more than ever. Our Father is the same yesterday, today and forever (Heb. 13:8). He changes not. So why would we choose to believe otherwise?
He said to rest on the Sabbath because it is holy. Are we resting on the Sabbath? We are forever learning (2 Tim. 3:7), or are we? The Bible says to study yourself approved, and people perish from the lack of knowledge (2 Tim. 2:15, Prov. 29:18). Are we only accepting what the preacher is preaching or are we allowing The Father to show us Himself, as He is the Word?
There is no growth if we don’t ask. Abba says to knock at the door and He will answer (Matt. 7:7). Whatever we ask the Father in Yeshua’s name, He will do (John 14:13-14). We need more understanding. We need more truth. We need more of Elohim. The next time you are in prayer, ask Father for more. We have put way too many idols before Him. He is a jealous God, and He wants all of our attention. {eoa}
