The Best Things In Life...... Are All Free.... Part II
“What no eye has seen,
what no ear has heard,
and what no human mind has conceived” —
the things God has prepared for those who love him—
The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God. 11 For who knows a person’s thoughts except their own spirit within them? In the same way no one knows the thoughts of God except the Spirit of God. 12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, 16 for,
“Who has known the mind of the Lord
so as to instruct him?”
But we have the mind of Christ.

Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 2:9-16, Romans 3:24-26, Romans 8:31-32, 1 Corinthians 2:12-15, 2 Corinthians 9:6-15, 1 John 3:21-24, Genesis Chapter 1
The Most Valuable Things in Life
Are All Free
Things that are important in life are free. They are also the most valuable to life and to our survival.
God has freely gifted, (willed), to all man kind, the ability to "love one another."
1 John 3:21...........we have confidence before God 22 and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. 23 And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. 24 The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us.
God wants to spoil his children. He wants to abundantly pour out blessings upon us. Understanding that God is the God of nature and that nature is spiritual. Understanding that all things are spiritual. Understanding brings knowedge which is the best place to start. It is easy to find the things that are important in life and understanding they are all free. All things are spiritual. Everything is Spiritual.
Everything is done out of love of God or hatred of God. There are only two sides.
Good and evil, Right and Wrong, Black and White, Truth and lies, etc.
God's will is for you and everyone to have the most valuable things in life. All are free.

God gave Mankind instructions to follow that are still applicable today.
Genesis 1:28 And God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it, and have
dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over every living thing that moves on the earth.” 29 And God said, “Behold, I have given you every herb that yields a seed that is on the face of all the earth, and every tree with seed in its fruit. You shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the heavens and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green herb for food.” And it was so.
Everything is freely given to all men from God since the beginning of time!
Reap what God has supplied. God did this so we would have lots of time to spend with him and Pondering the deep, deep, depth of God's love......
Scripture References
The Creation of the World
1:2 And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
1:11 Then God said, “Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb that yields seed,and the fruit tree that yields fruit according to its kind, whose seed is in itself, on the earth”; and it was so.
1:14 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night. And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 15 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 16 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.
1:20 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.”21 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind. And God saw that it was good. 22 And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.
24 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so. 25 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.
26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”
Romans 3:There is no difference between Jew and Gentile, 23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, 24 and all are justified freely by his grace through the redemption that came by Christ Jesus.25 God presented Christ as a sacrifice of atonement, through the shedding of his blood—to be received by faith. He did this to demonstrate his righteousness, because in his forbearance he had left the sins committed beforehand unpunished— 26 he did it to demonstrate his righteousness at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
Romans 8:31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?
1 Corinthians 2:12 What we have received is not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, so that we may understand what God has freely given us. 13 This is what we speak, not in words taught us by human wisdom but in words taught by the Spirit, explaining spiritual realities with Spirit-taught words. 14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit. 15 The person with the Spirit makes judgments about all things, but such a person is not subject to merely human judgments, ......
Praise for Spiritual Blessings in Christ
Ephesians 1:3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ. 4 For he chose us in him before the creation of the world to be holy and blameless in his sight. In love 5 he predestined us for adoption to sonship through Jesus Christ, in accordance with his pleasure and will— 6 to the praise of his glorious grace, which he has freely given us in the One he loves.
2 Corinthians 9:
Generosity Encouraged
2 Corinthians 9:6 Remember this: Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 7 Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 8 And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. 9 As it is written:
“They have freely scattered their gifts to the poor;
their righteousness endures forever.”
10 Now he who supplies seed to the sower and bread for food will also supply and increase your store of seed and will enlarge the harvest of your righteousness. 11 You will be enriched in every way so that you can be generous on every occasion, and through us your generosity will result in thanksgiving to God.
12 This service that you perform is not only supplying the needs of the Lord’s people but is also overflowing in many expressions of thanks to God. 13 Because of the service by which you have proved yourselves, others will praise God for the obedience that accompanies your confession of the gospel of Christ, and for your generosity in sharing with them and with everyone else. 14 And in their prayers for you their hearts will go out to you, because of the surpassing grace God has given you. 15 Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

The Ten Commandments... No Other Document In the History of the World is More Powerful Than the Ten Commandments
Jammu Malachi wrote: To suggest that truth and righteousness can only be known through written materials, is to say that truth and righteousness are NOT innately fashioned to our being. God created us all, and has extended those qualities to us all which are forthcoming through birth. Any written law of God is only to remind us of his law, lest we forget. They are not, however, meant to be addressed as a dictate or rule! Now, make up your mind. Either you were given the freedom of choice by God, or you were not! God is the Holy spirit. There is none other! |
| Refuse to Sin! Live sin free! Be Happy, Free, Full of vitality! |
Revelation 11:19 Then the temple of God was opened in Heaven, and the ark of His covenant, (The Ten Commandments), was seen in His Temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thunderings, an earthquake, and great hail.

Ten Commandments have Absolute Power
They are Jesus! They are God! They are the Holy Spirit!
No document in WORLD HISTORY has changed the world for the better than the Ten Commandments!John Adams wrote in his diary, February 22, 1756:
“Suppose a nation in some distant Region should take the Bible for their only law Book, and
every member should regulate his conduct by the precepts there exhibited! Every member would be
obliged in conscience, to temperance, frugality, and industry; to justice, kindness, and charity towards his fellow men; and to piety, love, and reverence toward Almighty God...What a Eutopia, what a
Paradise would this region be.”
34% of every quote by our founding fathers came straight from the Word of God, specifically the book of Deuteronomy where the Law of God is revealed.
The Commandments were referred to as Laws of God, Ordinances of God, Statutes of God, Divine Law, Revealed Law,
Holy Law, Book of Laws, Eternal Laws, Laws given to Moses on the Mount, the Decalogue, Foundation of Our Holy
Religion, Immutable Laws of Good and Evil, Government of God, etc., and are contained within the broader themes of
the religion, virtues, principles and morals of the Old and New Testaments

| Removing the Ten Commandments |
Yet, the Ten Commandments have come under attack Why did corrupt men want to remove the Ten Commandments from public view? Because, people might look at them and obey them!!
When People look at them and
obey the Ten Commandments
the People have
Absolute Power instead of the person with the most money.

| “Money is Power”, or shall we say, “The Monopoly to Create Credit Money and charge interest is Absolute Power”. (Alex James)http://www.zengardner.com/giving-you-the-bis-bank-for-international-settlements/ |
In 1956, at the New York opening of the film The Ten Commandments, Cecil B. DeMille stated:
“The Ten Commandments are not the laws. They are THE LAW. Man has made 32 million laws since the Commandments were handed down to Moses on Mount Sinai more than three thousand
years ago, but he has never improved on God's law. The Ten Commandments are the principles by which man may live with God and man may live with man. They are the expressions of the mind of God for His creatures. They are the charter and guide of human liberty, for there can be no liberty without the law....
“What I hope for our production of The Ten Commandments is that those who see it shall
come from the theater not only entertained and filled with the sight of a big spectacle, but filled with
the spirit of truth. That it will bring to its audience a better understanding of the real meaning of this
pattern of life that God has set down for us to follow.”
Most people are "good people," who want to do the right thing, who want to obey the Ten Commandments. The problem is, there are some who don't and because of this, cause other people to sin and hurt others. Some people really don't care if they lie, or cheat, or steal...
GOOD NEWS!!!
The Ten Commandments has the power to convict, heal, restore, deliver and set people free! They have "absolute" Power!
It is the only power in the Universe that cannot and will never be corrupt.
The Power of the Ten Commandments cannot hurt anyone for they are "Holy", "Pure", "Clean".
They cannot defile a "mind", soul. The Ten Commandments are kept in the Holy of Holies,
The Ten Commandments as written in the book of Exodus are the power of God, the Power of the Ark of the Covenant.
: complete and total
: not limited in any way
: having unlimited power
GOD PROMISES TO TAKE CARE OF THOSE WHO KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS!
In the Old Testament of the Hebrews, or the Old agreement God had with the Hebrews, is God's promise that He would take care of them, lead them, guide them, provide for them, protect them, keep them in good health and bless them as long as the obeyed the Ten Commandments. God called upon Solomon the son of David to build a temple and in the most sacred place was the Ark of the Ten Commandments. The Agreement between God and the Hebrews.
“The Hebrews have done more to civilize men than any other nation....[God] ordered the
Jews to preserve and propagate to all mankind the doctrine of a Supreme, Intelligent, Wise, Almighty
Sovereign of the Universe....[which is] to be the great essential principle of morality, and
consequently all civilization.”
John Adams referring to the God of the Ten Commandments which were given to Moses, he wrote to Judge F.A. Van der Kemp,
February 16, 1809
When we hear of the "Laws of Nature and Nature's God..." in the Declaration of Independence...
“If there is anything in my thoughts or style to commend, the credit is due to my parents for
instilling in me an early love of the Scriptures. If we abide by the principles taught in the Bible, our
country will go on prospering and to prosper; If we and our posterity shall be true to the Christian
religion, if we and they shall live always in the fear of God and shall respect His Commandments...we
may have the highest hopes of the future fortunes of our country;...
“But if we and our posterity neglect religious instruction and authority; violate the rules of
eternal justice, trifle with the injunctions of morality, and recklessly destroy the political constitution
which holds us together, no man can tell how sudden a catastrophe may overwhelm us and bury all
our glory in profound obscurity.”
The people tried to keep the covenant, the Ten Commandments, but just could not do it, sin had had too much power over them. When this happened they would be conquered by other people and enslaved.
God promised that one day he would send them a person to save them from sin's power over them. God promised a new and better covenant, a Covenant that would give them power, God's spirit would fill them and God would write the Ten Commandments on their hearts.
To translate "on their hearts," The Hebrew people will love the Ten Commandments and embrace them.
God promised the power of God's Spirit and the Absolute power of the Ten Commandments would be in the Hebrews; leading them, guiding them, protecting them, providing for them, because that's all they can think about. When the Hebrews love, worship, and adore the Ten Commandments constantly, Sin loses it's power over them.

Each Hebrew

Temple of the Most
High God.
God is now going to live in them instead of in the Ark of the Covenant, a man made temple. God made a human body. Through Jesus, each mind and heart is made clean and Holy. The Holy Spirit of God can only live within a Holy vessel, a Holy Body, a Holy Temple. The body healed by the indwelling of God in the person!
The indwelling of the Ten Commandments!
God is his laws. Jesus is the word, Jesus is the law of God so is the Holy Spirit.
Jesus Promises Another Helper
15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Indwelling of the Father and the Son
19 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. 20 At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. 21 He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”
God has absolute power, when you see Jesus in you, you see the Ten Commandments! You can see the ansolute Power of the Ten Commandments!
Have you seen Jesus Today?

“As no truth is more clearly taught in the Volume of Inspiration, nor any more fully
demonstrated by the experience of all ages, than that a deep sense and a due acknowledgment of the
growing providence of a Supreme Being and of the accountableness of men to Him as the searcher of
hearts and righteous distributer of rewards and punishments are conducive equally to the happiness
and rectitude of individuals and to the well-being of communities;
“As it is also most reasonable in itself that men who are made capable of social acts and
relations, who owe their improvements to the social state, and who derive their enjoyments from it,
should, as a society, make their acknowledgments of dependence and obligation to Him who hath
endowed them with these capacities and elevated them in the scale of existence by these distinctions;
“As it is likewise a plain dictate of duty and a strong sentiment of nature that in
circumstances of great urgency and seasons on imminent danger earnest and particular supplications
should be made to Him who is able to defend or to destroy;
“As, moreover, the most precious interests of the people of the United States are still held in
jeopardy by the hostile designs and insidious acts of a foreign nation, as well as by the dissemination
3among them of those principles, subversive to the foundations of all religious, moral, and social
obligations, that have produced incalculable mischief and misery in other countries;
“And as, in fine, the observance of special seasons for public religious solemnities is happily
calculated to avert the evils which we ought to deprecate, and to excite to the performance of the
duties which we ought to discharge, by calling and fixing the attention of the people at large to the
momentous truths already recited, by affording opportunity to teach and inculcate them by animating
devotion and giving to it the character of a national act:
“For these reasons I have thought proper to recommend, and I hereby recommend
accordingly, that Thursday, the twenty-fifth day of April next, be observed throughout the United
States of America as a day of solemn humiliation, fasting, and prayer;
“That the citizens on that day abstain, as far as may be, from their secular occupation, and
devote the time to the sacred duties of religion, in public and in private;
“That they call to mind our numerous offenses against the Most High God, confess them
before Him with the sincerest penitence, implore His pardoning mercy, through the Great Mediator
and Redeemer, for our past transgressions, and that through the grace of His Holy Spirit, we may be
disposed and enabled to yield a more suitable obedience to His righteous requisitions in time to come;
“That He would interpose to arrest the progress of that impiety and licentiousness in
principle and practice so offensive to Himself and so ruinous to mankind;
“That He would make us deeply sensible that "righteousness exalteth a nation but sin is a
reproach to any people"[Proverbs 14:34];
“That He would turn us from our transgressions and turn His displeasure from us;
“That He would withhold us from unreasonable discontent, from disunion, faction, sedition,
and insurrection;
“That He would preserve our country from the desolating sword;
“That He would save our cities and towns from a repetition of those awful pestilential
visitations under which they have lately suffered so severely, and that the health of our inhabitants
generally may be precious in His sight;
“That He would favor us with fruitful seasons and so bless the labors of the husbandman as
that there may be food in abundance for man and beast;
“That He would prosper our commerce, manufactures, and fisheries, and give success to the
people in all their lawful industry and enterprise;
“That He would smile on our colleges, academies, schools, and seminaries of learning, and
make them nurseries of sound science, morals, and religion;
“That He would bless all magistrates, from the highest to the lowest, give them the true spirit
of their station, make them a terror to evil doers and a praise to them that do well;
“That He would preside over the councils of the nation at this critical period, enlighten them
to a just discernment of the public interest, and save them from mistake, division, and discord;
“That He would make succeed our preparations for defense and bless our armaments by land
and sea;
“That He would put and end to the effusion of human blood and the accumulation of human
misery among the contending nations of the earth by disposing them to justice, to equity, to
benevolence, and to peace;
“And that He would extend the blessings of knowledge, of true liberty, and of pure and
undefiled religion throughout the world.
“And I do also recommend that with these acts of humiliation, penitence, and prayer, fervent
thanksgiving to the Author of All Good be united for the countless favors which He is still continuing
to the people of the United States, and which render their condition as a nation eminently happy when
compared with the lot of others. Given, etc.”11
To emphasis that when John Adams mentions “accountableness,” “obligation,” or “obedience” to God, he is
refering to the God of the Ten Commandments which were given to Moses
