Dear Father in Heaven: I love You. Thanks for a great weekend. Thanks for helping with decisions. Please, Lord, heal (name withheld), Lord, and Lord, You know who I am praying for to be healed. Lord, please protect our country from ISIS, protect our President and other leaders. Lord, please wake our nation up. Lord, I pray for Your return. Please bring worldwide peace. Lord, please help Dolores and me in what will be a very busy week. Lord, I need You to touch my body. Please, please take away some pain. Lord, please help me now with the message and then help me dispatch it. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
Dear brothers and sisters: I think people really need to think about what they post on Facebook. Please, folks, before you put it out, know this, you cannot get it back. Sort of like what you say with your mouth. You cannot take it back. But on Facebook, the world can see it. I want to get right to the message this week. In the very near future, I will be laying out a new look for the message. I want to write it more on time and keep it a tad shorter each day. Really!!
Dolores and I really need prayers. Today at our pain doctor, my left knee was drained of 100cc of bloody fluid and injected again. Pray that this helps.
Monday/Tuesday: August 25-26, 2014, Greatest Commandment (Day One)
Matthew 22:34 - Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested Him with this question: 36 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" 37 Jesus replied: "'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." (NIV)
Brothers and sisters, I truly believe that if we follow the "Two Greatest" Commandments you will have covered The Ten Commandments. Let me cover a few each day and you let me know if you think I am correct.
Exodus 20:3 - "You shall have no other gods before me." (NIV)
If we truly love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, and mind, how could you have any other god before God The Father, and God The Son? You just could not. So Commandment number one is covered by The Great Commandment.
Exodus 20:4 - "You shall not make for yourself an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or on the earth beneath, or in the waters below. 5 You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God." (NIV)
Again, I feel that commandment two is covered by The Great Commandment. For if you truly love our Lord God with all your heart, soul, and mind, how could you bow down to anyone else? This also tells me that our Lord God should always be number one in all we do.
Let's do one more today.
Exodus 20:7 - "You shall not misuse the Name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold anyone guiltless who misuses His name."
This means we should not curse. You can see right here that our Lord God will punish us for this. Yes, we will be judged guilty. Now we go to that Great Commandment. If you love The Lord our God with all your heart, soul, and mind, how could we consider using His Name as a swear word? If you have done this you need to be praying for forgiveness. Again, I think Commandment Three is covered by the Great Commandment.
What is your opinion so far?
Now go forth and share your blessings. Love ya. Please pass on my love to others.
Pastor Dan
Tomorrow is SALVATION WEDNESDAY. Let's go dawn to dusk telling others about the Lord. Amen.
