ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

To my Savior and Shepherd, Jesus, thank You for qualifying me to write for You. You have brought me from the pit to the palace by hearing You in my heart. Words cannot express how thankful I am for showing me who I really am. May I always seek after You.

To my mother, Donna, who has shown me the faithfulness of God by the way He has changed her from a silent servant to a bold and outspoken teacher for the Gospel within elderly nursing homes. Mom, you have been such a great encourager for me and this project. May you be blessed forever because of your encouragement!

For those who love Jesus, may we all realize that in Christ, we are fighting from victory!

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your name give glory, for the sake of your steadfast love and your faithfulness!

(Psalm 115:1 NKJV)

INTRODUCTION

I would like to have a conversation with youan important one.

Whether you have been a Christian for forty years or for four hours, I know this book will help and encourage you. You are more valuable than you think you are. Your spirit that lives forever is very valuable to the One who made you; you are your Creators treasure. Despite the victory at the cross, there still is a very real, invisible battle between the Creator of heaven and earth, the Lord God of the universe, the King of Israel, Jesus Christ, and the enemy, the devil (I realize its proper English to capitalize his name, but I will not), the rebellious angel that was kicked out of heaven to the earth along with one-third of Gods former prideful angels. Those fallen judged angels have now become demons. Since the enemy is not omnipresent or everywhere at the same time like Father God, the demons are the ones that cause the chaos and trouble for mankind that is seen throughout the earth under the devils managerial direction.

Jesus did die for our sins on the cross and did rise again, until He comes for His church as it is foretold by the Holy Scriptures. The enemy and his demons are on this earth trying, with their evil influence, to derail mankinds awareness of the need of salvation. The enemy is hoping for mankind to not make a decision for Him, which is actually making a decision. The devil hates the Father in heaven because of his eviction to earth, so the focus of his hate is now on the mankind, whom the Father loves.

Humans need a God they can relate to, someone who understands their lives and their struggles. If humans were able to understand Him completely, He wouldnt be God at all. The Fathers representative for humans to relate to (for His glory) is in the God-man of Jesus.

At first, in reading this book, it might appear as light reading; but to the contrary, the eighty articles are very relevant and meaningful discussions the Holy Spirit spoke to my spirit. If I give my opinion on something, the comments will prefaced; otherwise, it is what I heard Him say to me to write. Some articles are much deeper than others; in addition, there are some articles that are longer than others. It is my intention to have you read one article per week since there is a lot detail for each one. As you ponder and examine the eighty article topics within the middle section of the book, analyze why I would be directed to place certain titles under certain commandments. There is a deep encouragement or truth based upon the Scripture that is quoted within each article text. The Good News through Christ is that He trumps every lie and every slight trick of hand the enemy dishes out.

Over a six-month period, the Lord began sending me strong messages within my spirit of certain aspects of life that are confirmed just by the presence of the Holy Spirit within us.

This book is organized into three sections: (1) Background, (2) Articles, (3) Discussion. The background chapters are the foundational thoughts of how the book is presented. The articles are eighty individual topics the Lord put on my heart to discuss. They are divided within three categories (In Relationship: God of Israel to a Person, a Person to Related Family, and Unrelated Person to Unrelated Person) while further subdivided within the individual commandments. Again, how the topics were distributed under certain commandments was His leading. Within the many, many pages of notes over those six months, they were titled, classified, and placed with some renamed and categorized within the book structure. Many chapter and section titles changed over time as the theme of the book was being revealed. The commandments are still and always will be relevant since it shows that we will always need the SaviorJesus. His wisdom is so impressive that this project actually ministered to me in many ways.
