The Way: The Commandments

John 13:34; 14:15, 21; 15:10
A new commandment I give unto you: That you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another... If you love me, keep my commandments... He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them; he it is that loveth me. And he that loveth me, shall be loved of my Father: and I will love him and will manifest myself to him... If you keep my commandments, you shall abide in my love; as I also have kept my Father's commandments, and do abide in his love.

Matthew 5:17-19
Do not think that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets. I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. For amen I say unto you, till heaven and earth pass, one jot, or one tittle shall not pass of the law, till all be fulfilled. He therefore that shall break one of these least commandments, and shall so teach men, shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven. But he that shall do and teach, he shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

Matthew 22:34-40
And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him: Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said to him: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with thy whole mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. And the second is like to this: Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments dependeth the whole law and the prophets.

1 John 4:20-21
If any man say, I love God, and hateth his brother; he is a liar. For he that loveth not his brother, whom he seeth, how can he love God, whom he seeth not? And this commandment we have from God, that he, who loveth God, love also his brother.

Jesus has given Nancy many teachings about the Commandments. He has said that when He is finished instruction on His Commandments, they should all be published together. Presented below are some of the teachings.

30 - Satan Deceives Man (December 28, 1990 23)
Nancy and George were talking about sexual sins leading to slavery, greed and pride. Nancy said, "and gluttony."

Jesus said, "Why don't you stop it?" Nancy said, "How embarrassing!" Jesus said, "No, how sinful."

Nancy said, "Where does gluttony fit in the Ten Commandments?"

Jesus said, "Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. Do you not want to take care of the temple?"

Satan just appeared standing half in and half out of the doorway, in the air and life size. Nancy wondered aloud if the vision showed that Satan was influencing her choice of food. Satan fled in the Name of Jesus.

Jesus said, "Look at it this way. Greed is next to pride. You can have greed with food, gluttony, greed for money, greed for sex, greed for power. Food does not make the sin; sex does not make the sin; power does not make the sin; greed does ... what you do with it willingly and knowingly."

"He looks like He is suffering," said Nancy.

Satan reappeared. His face was half white and half black. Nancy said, "Identify yourself." Satan said, "Make me."

Nancy said, "In the name of Jesus identify yourself and tell me what brings you here."

"Lucifer," Satan said, "I can distort anything. Half truth, half lie."

Nancy said, "Then everything can be distorted." A white triangle appeared on the floor in front of Nancy.

Lucifer said, "When you talk about sin I have a right to be here."

"In the Name of Jesus be gone." Lucifer left.

Nancy said to Jesus, "I wish You could explain a little more."

Jesus said, "Put anything or anyone before Me then you are in violation of My first commandment.

"You overeat. You like to do it. You want much power. You like it. You want too much sex. You like it. Oh, how deceived man can be by Satan. Oh, how deceived man can be by Satan. Oh, how deceived man can be by Satan.

"Men think they are masters of themselves, and it is Satan who is master of them.

"Love your God with your whole heart, mind, soul, and strength. Do not love anyone or anything more than Me. If you do, you will become a slave. I alone am the Master who can set you free. Love Me and you will never be a slave. Love Satan and you will be in bondage.

"I alone am your Lord, your God. Put no one, nothing before Me. I am Love; I am Life. Live in Me, and I give you My Life. Live in Satan, and you have death. He is darkness. He walks in darkness, and if you chose to walk with him, then you choose to walk in the dark. Is it not better to see and have light? Don't you feel better when you can see your way?"

31 - Man Has Too Many Gods (December 29, 1990 24)
While Nancy and George were rereading "Worship no other gods but Me," Jesus said to Nancy with exhaustion and immense pain, "Man has too many Gods and they should only have one. I want My children to give Me their hearts on the cross. My heart is on the cross. I am joined to the cross. I want My children to be joined to the cross in love..."

32 - The First Commandment (January 19, 1991 25)
"My precious daughter, I am Jesus, Son of the Living God. I am pleased that you are getting to know Me so you can tell others about Me. My commandments of love are ways to help My children grow in love with Me, in Me and through Me. My commandments of love are ways that will help you live an orderly, meaningful life. Life has meaning when you have found your way to Me. Do I not provide your reason for your being. I am the Way, the Truth, the Life. If I am the Way, would it not make sense that I would give you signs along the way to help you come to Me?"

33 - Put No One Before Me (January 19, 1991 26)
Jesus said, "Do you not have rules on the road? Do you not teach your children, look both ways before you cross the street? Well, I try to help you by giving you the greatest rules of life, My commandments of love. Are they not rules, guidelines and signposts telling you how to love? Does not the first commandment make the greatest sense to you? Come to Me first; put no one before Me. Love Me first. If you DO the first commandment, I tell you solemnly you will do the rest because you will want to. You will come to know and understand that I am love, perfect love and the source of all love. Nancy, at times My children fall short of the first commandment and will need further help of My other commandments in order to find their way to Me. If you know Me. If you really know Me ..."

Nancy said, "And tears are hitting the upper part of His arm. He is crying and He reveals great suffering in His face ... extreme suffering."

When later rereading the full teaching of January 19, 1991, Nancy and George wondered about Jesus' words, "If you DO the first commandment ... "

Jesus then said to Nancy, "My children do not do what I want them to do. Leave the word DO in there. Maybe I can get their attention in this way. You are going to be in trouble if I have to resort to making up words." He said this teasingly. "You can make a footnote at the end of the page and put these words."

George said, "I was just thinking the same thing. I'm sure He gave me that thought."

Jesus said to Nancy, "He is learning."

34 - If You Really Know Me, You Will Obey (January 19, 1991 27)
Jesus said, "Again, I say if you know Me, really know Me, you will love Me and desire with all your heart and strength to obey Me, to serve Me.

"If a young child does not have rules of love in his family, would he not be very unhappy, very lonely, be lost and suffer much more?

"Tell My people - keep My commandments and you will suffer less and you will be happier, never lost and never alone. Teach My children, Nancy. Look at the love I show you. Look at My face."

35 - The Third Commandment (February 9, 1991 28)
Jesus said, "All My children should rest on the seventh day. I want them to rest from all worldly affairs and take time to reflect upon My goodness and My love. If they will do this, then they will appreciate all My gifts and they will see and know everything is a gift from Me. Then everything in their life will be richer because they will see it with eyes of love. Everything then is put back in proper balance. You will have time for your family. You will have time for physical rest. You will have time set aside for spiritual growth. You will have time for emotional rest.

"Everything needs to be in balance in order to work properly. If one wheel in a machine is broken it will effect the entire machine. By My helping you to stay in balance, I am helping you to come back to Me. Your journey in life is a journey back to God, back to Me.

"If you have many flat tires it's going to be a lot more difficult for you to journey back to Me. If the car is kept well maintained and balanced, then your trip will be more enjoyable and easier. Do you understand what I am saying to you?"

Nancy said, "I think so."

36 - An Aid to Grow in Love (February 9, 1991 29)
Jesus said, "Each one of the commandments is an aid, is a step, to help you love Me and one another.

"Do not treat My commandments as thou shall not do this or that, but that thou shall love more. All commandments are an aid to help you grow in love.

"As plants and trees grow, as an infant grows, so is it destined for all humans to grow in love.

"Look at it this way. Every human being is given a tiny seed of My perfect Love. And the seed is destined to grow in the fullness of My Love."

37 - The Fourth Commandment of God (February 22, 1991)
[Feast of the Chair of St. Peter--after the 9 AM Mass]

While I (Nancy) was praying before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament, I asked Him to teach me Himself about the fourth commandment.

Then I heard Jesus say, "My dearest daughter, let Me teach you about the Fourth Commandment of God. Honor your Father and Mother. Your Father is God. Honor Him first. Your mother is My Mother, the Holy Mother of God; I give her to you as Your Loving Mother. You will never have a greater father than God nor a greater mother than the Mother of God.

"Earthly parents are called to imitate us, to be our hands, feet, heart. You are not to judge the shortcomings of your father and mother. And parents, you are not to judge the shortcomings of your children. Both are called to love as we love you. Grow more in love with God and with each other.

"Parents, take your children's hands and children, take your parent's hands and together walk in harmony, in love, on your journey back to Me. Help each other grow. Both of you are teachers. Learn from Me and learn from each other. I say to you, imitate us.

"If you are hurt by your parents or if you, parents, are hurt by your children, respond as I do when you hurt Me ... IN LOVE. Never stop loving. My love is unconditional for you. I say again, imitate us, dear children. My children are everyone, unborn, born, young, old, lame, healthy, poor, wealthy, prideful, humble.

"No one is not My child, even though you may chose to disown Me. I am the Creator and you are My created children. I call you, all of you, unto Me. I will never abandon you. Please don't abandon Me. If you abandon this commandment, you abandon Me. What you do to the least of My brothers, you do unto Me.

"I say to you - imitate us. Be holy, as I am holy. Be love, as I am Love. As you live and grow in your earthly families, live and grow in Me. I am Jesus, Son of the Living God."

Note: As Nancy was about to begin to read this teaching to her friend, Mary Burke, angels appeared in the living room. The angels appeared all in white on the wall.
