  • Angela Hope on Exodus 20 - 3 years ago
    I learned the Ten Commandments using mnemonics, 1bun 2 shoe 3 key & so on, but every time I try to recite them now I get mixed up & can't remember what 10's mnemonic was & I totally miss Commandments 2 & 3!!! Did anyone else use these mnemonics & remember them? Or have other ones I might use? I want to teach my grandchildren but also I want to remember them myself!!

    Please Help!

    I love that this site exists & can easily be found, searched, researched & read. It takes away ANY excuse people might make about not hearing or knowing The Word of GOD & of not believing because they "didn't know."

    Thank You to the many people who would have had to labor to bring this site into existence & to those who maintain it! Keep up the Good Work!

    Evermore.

    1 Corinthians 2:16

    For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? BUT WE HAVE THE MIND OF CHRIST.

    Philippians 2:5

    Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

    Romans 7:25

    I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with THE MIND I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.

    Romans 15:6

    That ye may with one mind and one mouth glorify God, even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.

    Testimony by Mishael: I questioned the Lord one day; shortly after salvation, on these scriptures.

    I said, Lord scientists say we only use 10% of our brains power potential. How come?

    I was sitting waiting for reply. The Holy Spirit said the first scripture above.

    Jesus doesn't have limitations on intelligence. He created it. You can thank the Lord for knowing his mind. There's no limitations. Some things we are unable to receive, because of the "Nay-sayers" that tell us we can't do that. "It's not scriptural'.

    God doesn't withhold good gifts from His children. I asked for better memory and then I RECEIVED IT BY FAITH. My Bible studying and prayer life bloomed! My thanks to God, is using what he gives me.

    You are not limited on asking in child-like faith for what you Need; not wants. Let all your requests be made known to God. He's your Daddy; ABBA. He knows what is good for us. Receive it. Give thanks. Give doubts the boot, out of your heart.

    I used to write scriptures on notebook paper and post it on a cabinet near the stove. I'd be stirring things and had time to look at it.

    Read it out loud. Look at it. Hear your voice saying it. See? Those are the mouth gate, the eye gate and the hearing gate. You're going to learn those scriptures easily. Just keep doing it till it flows right out of your mouth from Memory. You have His Mind at last. There are no limitations on what you can learn now.

    If your kids hear you say it enough, they will learn it too. :D 1 Corinthians 2:16

    Hello Angela,

    As I can't say I remember them in any order. Hopefully this may help. You can break them down into three things God wants us to do and seven things to stay away from. The three to do are: Love God with all your heart and have no other gods, Honor your father and mother, and keep the sabbath day Holy. The seven to "not do", maybe start with: Do not steal, do not lie, do not murder. Then: do not commit adultery, don't take the Lords name in vein, do not worship false idols, and do not covet.

    I guess really just keep going over them and they should stick. As these Ten Commandments are just the beginning of battling, and staying away from, all sin. Which is much more vast. Along with producing much good fruit, in your life, for the Lord.

    God Bless.
