The relational principle behind the eight commandment is intimacy. God wants to have a close relationship with us and desires that we have an intimate relationship with our spouse. 

God has commanded us not murder one another, and the spiritual principle behind the commandment is love. How do we love and forgive people who do cruel and harmful things ? How do we love our neighbor as ourselves when our neighbor is difficult to love? 

The spiritual principle shared in the fifth commandment is honor. How do we honor people who do dishonorable things? Why does God as us to honor people in a fallen world? Honor is also connected to faith. If we learn to honor people who are in authority or where honor is due, it can help us to grow in our faith.

The spiritual principle behind the fourth commandment is rest. God wants us to rest so that we can be fully present with Him, our spouse, and our families. If we are over worked and over stressed, we will never be fully present and enjoy life as God intended.

God didn't give us the Ten Commandments as list of do's and don'ts that make it difficult for us to know Him.

In this message we are focusing on the spiritual principle revealed in the fourth commandment, which deals with reverence and humility.

The Ten Commandments were given to us for the purpose of relationship. Under grace we can draw closer to God by observing the commandments which reveal His nature. In this third message of the series we are looking at the spiritual principle revealed through the second commandment.

God did not give us the Ten Commandments as a list of "do's" and "don'ts" that make it difficult for us to know Him. The Ten Commandments are spiritual principles that help us to draw closer to God and know Him better. For everyone who is born again the Ten Commandments aren't Law they are life. The Holy Spirit who dwells in us, empowers us to live the righteousness of each principle revealed through the commandments.

Strongholds are established through disobedience. Strongholds must be broken and should never be tolerated in the life of a Spirit filled believer. Through Christ, the word of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, strongholds can be broken.

In the last days God is calling His church to be watchman. The Body of Christ ought to be aware of what the signs of the end are indicating. Likewise, we ought to be warning those who aren't prepared for Christ return, warning them about what the signs are indicating.
