Perfect 10-God’s Winning Strategies:Commandments– Talk 3
Speaker: Bro Alvin Barcelona
Big Message : GO ALL IN
Don’t see things in portions
Look through it as a whole
Wholeness of the message
Understanding things in its totality
Deuteronomy 29:9
“Therefore keep the words of this covenant and do them,
that you may prosper in all that you do.”
Commandment 5 to 7
5. You shall NOT kill.
6. You shall NOT commit adultery.
7. You shall NOT steal.
We go in the Spirit of the Law
In general, 10 commandments are 10 doors
You open a door and go inside
These commandments are the biggies.
Yet avoiding them is simply the minimum.
Nobody gets fully blessed by simply avoiding
the NOT-TO-DO Things.
You may say “I did not do anything wrong”
or “I did not hurt or stepped on anybody.”
But the question is, “Did you do something good?”
“Did you helped somebody?” or “Did you love someone?”
Matthew 22:36-40
(Mark 12:30-31 / Luke 10:27)
“Teacher, which law is the greatest commandment in the law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord you God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’
This is the first and greatest commandment. And
the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’
On these two commandments depend all the law and
the prophets.”

Commandment # 5: Do Not Kill
Is abortion murder?
Is suicide murder?
Letter of the Law: Don’t take life.
Spirit of the Law: Give life.
Hatred is murder.
Matthew 5:21-22 “You have heard that it was said to the people long ago,
‘You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgement.’
But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or a sister,
will be subject to judgement. Again, anyone who says to a brother or sister,
‘Raca’, is answerable to the court. And anyone who says, ‘You fool!’
will be in danger of the fire of hell.”
Romans 12:19 “Do not take revenge, my dear friends,
but leave room for God’s wrath, for it is written:
“It is mine to avenge; I will repay,” says the Lord.
Romans 12:20-21 “If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink. In doing this, you will heap
burning coals on his head.” Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.
Love is the best revenge.
Commandment #6: Do not commit adultery
Matthew 5:27-28 “The law of Moses said ‘You shall not commit adultery.’
But I say: Anyone who even looks at a woman with lust in his eye
has already committed adultery with her in his heart.”
Sex is not only physical, it’s spiritual
Letter of the law: Be sexually faithful to your spouse
Spirit of the law: Be sexually, spiritually, emotionally,
and mentally faithful to your spouse.
–> leads to great married sex
Sexual energy is just another form of physical energy
Transform your sexual energy into active service for humanity.
Speaker: Bro Alvin Barcelona
Commandment #7: Do not steal
You don’t get blessed by not doing things,you get blessed by doing things
Do more than what is expected of you
Walang taong naawardan dahil sa reklamo
(Nobody receives an award for complaining)
Lahat ng naging successful dumaan sa hirap
(Successful people went through difficulties)
Letter of the law: Do not steal.
Spirit of the law: Do the following:
1. Do your work excellently
A good work is
a. Results and not complaints
b. Follows and not make excuses
c. Doing and not making excuses
d. excellent work before rewards
2. Share with the poor
3. Give to the Lord
