Good morning.

Praying today this message will be a blessing to many of how to keep The Commandments of God.

First, we must surely walk honestly with The LORD everyday.

Always each one of us are to keep clean hands and a pure heart.

“Who shall ascend into the hill of The LORD? or who shall stand in his holy place? He that hath clean hands, and a pure heart; who hath not lifted up his soul unto vanity, nor sworn deceitfully. He shall receive the blessing from The LORD, and righteousness from the God of his salvation.” Psalm 24:3-5

These messages as leaders we deliver to the people, must come first to us.

That is, we all need to do a inward check daily.

Now look at these scriptures:

“Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, “Thou shalt love The LORD thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.”“ Matthew 22:36-40

Man could never keep The Commandments!

You all know the story how Moses even broke The Commandments? Still God was merciful and gave them again.

Forward: Jesus came and was born of a virgin. He was surely God, but yet man.

He was sinless and our perfect atonement to redeem us back to God.

He never broke a one of The Commandments. He fulfilled all righteousness!

On one side of the subject of The Commandments with people, it just tends to get very ‘legalistic’.

On the other side we can be too ‘lax’ and just anything goes.

Never do I promote a license to sin! God forbid. We just must remain balanced.

May I add, we keep the Commandments of God by The Spirit, and not by the letter of The Law!

We must: “Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” (2 Timothy 2:15)

Also: “But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves” James 1:22

This message I wrote on HKP flows with our subject at hand today, also: “Perfect Law of Obedience“

Hope this will give all further understanding on keeping The Commandments of our God.

That is my intention. We need to grow in The LORD, and balance more in every area.

We must not get hung up on ‘Extremes’ either way.

Always keep ‘hope’ alive in our hearts.

We will arrive to the other side one day… smile here.

Still there needs to be and there is both Victory and Joy as we walk this pilgrim journey out.

Let’s be the living, breathing epistles of the gospel to this ungodly world.

Onward on our journey. You and I will make it. Look UP to the Father of lights.

“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” James 1:17

God bless you all.
