Spirit, who lives in us, is our guarantee of a greater glory that is to

a foretaste of what lies ahead for us; we yearn to be clothed and to
reside in our heavenly dwelling and to be at home with God (2 Cor.

The "Ten Commandments" - Fridays dose - October 21st 2011

Fridays dose - October 21st 2011�

The "Ten Commandments"

"Simply let your 'Yes' be 'Yes,' and your 'No,' 'No' "- (Matthew 5:37, NIV).�

I recently received an email in French requesting a copy of the "Ten

Commandments. " As I can't read French, I used the Google online

translator to read this person's request. When translating online,

sometimes the words can come out rather funny. For instance, when I�asked Google to translate, "The cat sat on the mat" into French it

read, "Le chat s'est repos� sur la natte." But when I asked Google to

translate this back into English it read, "The cat rested on the

plait." And then when I checked the word "plait" in my computer

Thesaurus it said, "ponytail. So "The cat sat on the mat" ended up

as "The cat rested on the ponytail."

Jokes aside, it's understandable that this can happen when

translating online from one language to another, but the same thing

happens very easily when communicating in person in the same language���especially between parents and children and husbands and wives.

Effective
communication should be one of many "commendments" because so many
misunderstandings and broken relationships are caused by
mis-communications and/or misunderstood communications.

One of the challenges in communication is that we see and hear

things, and will even read into things, on the basis of how we feel

about ourselves, and on the bases of unresolved issues from past

significant relationships.

If I am a very insecure, super-sensitive person, the slightest

negative comment can send me into an emotional tailspin. Or if I

didn't get along with my mother, and you say or do something that

reminds me of my mother, it's going to push my "mother button" and I�will overreact way out of proportion to what you said or did. And you�are going to be left wondering what on earth is happening to me. Then�we get into the battle of: "You said" ... "did not." "Yes you

did"... "no I didn't" ... "did" ... "didn't...." And the vicious

cycle continues and escalates.

As healthy relationships are vital to healthy living, learning to

communicate effectively needs to be a top priority. There are many

helpful tips on how we can learn to do this besides learning to hear

what is not being said, but the bottom line is that we need to

resolve all past impaired significant relationships so our hot

buttons don't get pushed, and that we grow in maturity so we overcome our insecurities.

Prayer: "Loving Heavenly Father, please help me to see and resolve

any and all impaired relationships and grow in maturity so I learn to

love and accept myself in a healthy manner and not overreact to what others say and do. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer.Gratefully, In Jesus loving Name I Pray, Amen."

Have a Blessed Friday and God Bless you all.

sware by himself. For men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for
confirmation is to them an end of all strife. Wherein God, willing more
abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his
counsel, confirmed it by an oath: that by two immutable things, in which it
was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have
fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us. Heb. 6:13, 16-18

These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness. Rev. 3:14

For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory
of God by us. II Cor. 1:20

Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things.
And blessed be his glorious name for ever. Amen, and Amen. Psa. 72:18, 19

Beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as

As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to
another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If any man speak,

of the ability which God giveth: that God in all things may be glorified
through Jesus Christ, to whom be praise and dominion for ever and ever. I
Pet. 4:10, 11

*The fruit of the Spirit is temperance.* Gal. 5:22

Every man that striveth for the mastery is temperate in all things. Now they
do it to obtain a corruptible crown; but we an incorruptible. I therefore so
run, not as uncertainly; so fight I, not as one that beateth the air: but I
keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means,
when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway. I Cor.

themselves, are not wise. But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord.
For not he that commendeth himself is approved, but whom the Lord
commendeth. II Cor. 10:12, 17, 18

The body is of Christ. Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary
humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he
hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, and not holding the
Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment
ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God. Col.
2:17-19

Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. II
Pet. 3:18 ***
