How do I know I am in the right or wrong church!!
Not every church, Pastor will go to heaven!! You must make sure you belong to a church where the Holy Spirit moving. Ask God to help you to show you the right church!! It is very important to belong to the right church. A church where you are comfortable is a big NO!! You have to be challenged in your faith. Your faith must grow. Walk-on-the-water faith church, Holy Spirit-moving is the right church!! Make sure your are Born Again too!! You must repent and give your life to Jesus and be baptised!! A big NO church is where the Holy Spirit is not moving, too many doctorines, like the normal traditional churches. You must stay far away from them!! Baby christening is not biblical!! They like to preach what people want to hear and not what they must hear. Focus now on finding the right church. Ask God to show you the right church and to open doors for you to get there!! But it is of life importance that you must go to the right church!! A religious church is big trouble. It is not going to help you to get to heaven!! A faith based church where the Holy Spirit is moving, where you grow in your faith, where you are challenged in your faith, where they do baptisms too, and teach the Word of God!!
Acts 18: Hebrews and English:
Hebrews:
1.
אחר כן סר פולוס מאתינס ויבא אל קורנתוס׃
2.
וימצא יהודי נולד בפונטוס ומשו עקילס אשר בא מקרוב מן איטליא הוא ואשתו פריסקלה מפני אשר צוה קלודיוס את כל היהודים לסור מעיר רומי׃
3.
ויבא אליהם ויהי בהיתם בני אמנות אחת וישב אתם ויעש מלאכתו ואמנותם עשות יריעות אהלים׃
4.
וידבר בבית הכנסת בכל שבת ושבת ויוכח את היהודים ואת היונים׃
5.
וכבוא סילא וטימותיוס ממקדוניא היה פולוס נגש ברוח להעיד אל היהודים כי ישוע הוא המשיח׃
6.
ויהי כהמרותם וכגדפם וינער את בגדיו ויאמר אליהם דמכם בראשיכם ואנכי נקי מעתה אלכה לי אל הגוים׃
7.
וילך משם ויבא אל בית איש ושמו יוסטוס איש ירא אלהים וביתו סמוך לבית הכנסת׃
8.
וקריספוס ראש הכנסת האמין באדון הוא וכל ביתו וגם קורנתים רבים בשמעם האמינו ויטבלו׃
9.
ודבר האדון היה אל פולוס במחזה בלילה לאמר אל תירא כי אם דבר ואל תחשה׃
10.
כי עמך אנכי ואיש אל יגע בך להרע לך כי גוי גדול לי בעיר הזאת׃
11.
וישב שם שנה וששה חדשים וילמד בהם את דבר האלהים׃
12.
ויהי בהיות גליון שר מדינת אכיא ויקומו היהודים כלם וחדו על פולוס ויביאהו אל כסא המשפט׃
13.
ויאמרו האיש הזה מפתה את בני האדם לעבד את אלהים בלא כתורה׃
14.
ויהי אך בקש פולוס לפתח את פיו וגליון אמר אל היהודים לאמר אם היה דבר פשע או מעשה נבלה כי עתה נשאתי ושמעתי אתכם היהודים כמשפט׃
15.
אבל אם היא שאלה על מלין ושמות והדת שלכם ראו אתם ואני אין רצוני להיות שפט על דברים כאלה׃
16.
ויגרש אתם מלפני כסא המשפט׃
17.
ויאחזו כל היונים את סוסתנים ראש הכנסת ויכוהו לפני כסא המשפט וגליון לא שת לבו גם לזאת׃
18.
ופולוס ישב שם עוד ימים רבים ויפטר מן האחים וירד באניה ללכת אל סוריא ואתו פריסקלה ועקילס ויגלח את ראשו בקנכרי כי נדר עליו׃
19.
ויבאו אל אפסוס ויעזב אתם שם והוא הלך לבית הכנסת וידבר עם היהודים׃
20.
ויבקשו ממנו להאריך ימי שבתו אתם ולא אבה׃
21.
כי אם נפטר מהם באמרו מחיב אני לחג את החג הבא בירושלים ואחרי כן אשובה אליכם אם ירצה יהוה וילך לו באניה מן אפסוס׃
22.
ויבא אל קסרין ויעל וישאל לשלום הקהלה וירד אל אנטיוכיא׃
23.
וישב שם ימים אחדים וילך למסעיו ויעבר בארץ גלטיא ופרוגיא ויחזק את כל התלמידים׃
24.
ואיש יהודי בא אל אפסוס ועיר מולדתו אלכסנדריא ושמו אפולוס איש דברים ותקיף בכתובים׃
25.
הוא היה מלמד דרך האדון והוא מדבר כחם רוחו ומלמד היטב על אדות ישוע ולא ידע כי אם טבילת יוחנן לבדה׃
26.
והוא החל לקרא בבית הכנסת בבטחון לבב וישמעו אתו עקילס ופריסקלה ויקחהו אליהם ויוסיפו להגיד לו את דרך האלהים באר היטב׃
27.
ויחפץ ללכת לאכיא ויכתבו האחים אל התלמידים ויעררו אתם לקבלו ויבא שמה ויעזר הרבה את המאמינים על ידי החסד׃
28.
כי בחזקה התוכח עם היהודים לפני כל העם ויראם מן המקראות כי ישוע הוא המשיח׃
English:
"Paul Meets Priscilla and Aquila in Corinth
Then Paul left Athens and went to Corinth. There he became acquainted with a Jew named Aquila, born in Pontus, who had recently arrived from Italy with his wife, Priscilla. They had left Italy when Claudius Caesar deported all Jews from Rome. Paul lived and worked with them, for they were tentmakers just as he was.
Each Sabbath found Paul at the synagogue, trying to convince the Jews and Greeks alike. And after Silas and Timothy came down from Macedonia, Paul spent all his time preaching the word. He testified to the Jews that Jesus was the Messiah. But when they opposed and insulted him, Paul shook the dust from his clothes and said, “Your blood is upon your own heads—I am innocent. From now on I will go preach to the Gentiles.”
Then he left and went to the home of Titius Justus, a Gentile who worshiped God and lived next door to the synagogue. Crispus, the leader of the synagogue, and everyone in his household believed in the Lord. Many others in Corinth also heard Paul, became believers, and were baptized.
One night the Lord spoke to Paul in a vision and told him, “Don’t be afraid! Speak out! Don’t be silent! For I am with you, and no one will attack and harm you, for many people in this city belong to me.” So Paul stayed there for the next year and a half, teaching the word of God.
But when Gallio became governor of Achaia, some Jews rose up together against Paul and brought him before the governor for judgment. They accused Paul of “persuading people to worship God in ways that are contrary to our law.”
But just as Paul started to make his defense, Gallio turned to Paul’s accusers and said, “Listen, you Jews, if this were a case involving some wrongdoing or a serious crime, I would have a reason to accept your case. But since it is merely a question of words and names and your Jewish law, take care of it yourselves. I refuse to judge such matters.” And he threw them out of the courtroom.
The crowd then grabbed Sosthenes, the leader of the synagogue, and beat him right there in the courtroom. But Gallio paid no attention.
Paul Returns to Antioch of Syria
Paul stayed in Corinth for some time after that, then said good-bye to the brothers and sisters and went to nearby Cenchrea. There he shaved his head according to Jewish custom, marking the end of a vow. Then he set sail for Syria, taking Priscilla and Aquila with him.
They stopped first at the port of Ephesus, where Paul left the others behind. While he was there, he went to the synagogue to reason with the Jews. They asked him to stay longer, but he declined. As he left, however, he said, “I will come back later, God willing.” Then he set sail from Ephesus. The next stop was at the port of Caesarea. From there he went up and visited the church at Jerusalem and then went back to Antioch.
After spending some time in Antioch, Paul went back through Galatia and Phrygia, visiting and strengthening all the believers.
Apollos Instructed at Ephesus
Meanwhile, a Jew named Apollos, an eloquent speaker who knew the Scriptures well, had arrived in Ephesus from Alexandria in Egypt. He had been taught the way of the Lord, and he taught others about Jesus with an enthusiastic spirit and with accuracy. However, he knew only about John’s baptism. When Priscilla and Aquila heard him preaching boldly in the synagogue, they took him aside and explained the way of God even more accurately.
Apollos had been thinking about going to Achaia, and the brothers and sisters in Ephesus encouraged him to go. They wrote to the believers in Achaia, asking them to welcome him. When he arrived there, he proved to be of great benefit to those who, by God’s grace, had believed. He refuted the Jews with powerful arguments in public debate. Using the Scriptures, he explained to them that Jesus was the Messiah."
Obedience the key to a prosperous and blessed life for the Kingdom of God!!
God made a covenant with Abraham and it is still standing today, tomorrow and forever!! So it is me and you included! We are part of the covenant!! You and I are blessed!!
Genesis 22:18: "And through your descendants all the nations of the earth will be blessed—all because you have obeyed me.”
Galatians 3:29: "And now that you belong to Christ, you are the true children of Abraham. You are his heirs, and God’s promise to Abraham belongs to you."
One word why Abraham was prosperous and blessed was obedience!! Obedience is the key to a prosperous and blessed life!!
Deuteronomy 28:2: "And all these blessings shall come upon you and overtake you, because you obey the voice of the Lord your God."
Deuteronomy 11:13-15: "If you carefully obey the commands I am giving you today, and if you love the Lord your God and serve him with all your heart and soul, then he will send the rains in their proper seasons—the early and late rains—so you can bring in your harvests of grain, new wine, and olive oil. He will give you lush pastureland for your livestock, and you yourselves will have all you want to eat."
Dueteronomy 11:26-28: “Look, today I am giving you the choice between a blessing and a curse! You will be blessed if you obey the commands of the Lord your God that I am giving you today. But you will be cursed if you reject the commands of the Lord your God and turn away from him and worship gods you have not known before."
Deuteronomy 28:8: "The Lord will command the blessing on you in your storehouses and in all to which you set your hand, and He will bless you in the land which the Lord your God is giving you."
John 13:17: "Now that you know these things, God will bless you for doing them."
Because of obedience God will bless and prosper you but not for your own purpose, but to use it for the Kingdom!! You are here on earth with a purpose. To do His will on earth, to live for Him!!To be a blessing to others!! We have to be blessed and prosperous to help others.
When the Temple was build, they never used second hand material or said to God it is to grand for them, they can not built the Temple!! No!! They didin't When they build the Temple, they were using the best of the best materials!!
1 Corinthians 3:16-17: "Don’t you realize that all of you together are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God lives in you? God will destroy anyone who destroys this temple. For God’s temple is holy, and you are that temple."
We are God's temple, that means only the best!! Lack, poverty, sickness, worries, fear is not part of the Kingdom of God!!
John 10:10: "The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly."
We are not here on this earth to live for ourselves!! We are here to help and bless others, preach the Good News to the world, that is why we have to be bless and prosperous for the Kingdom of God!
Deuteronomy 8:18: "You shall remember the Lord your God, for it is he who gives you power to get wealth, that he may confirm his covenant that he swore to your fathers, as it is this day."
Philippians 4:19: "And my God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus."
God wants you to prosper in every area of your life!!
Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. "
Proverbs 10:22: "The blessing of the Lord brings wealth, without painful toil for it."
Ephesians 3:20: "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us."
Proverbs 3:9-10: "Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine."
When you obey God, He will prosper and bless you. Prosperity and blessings is not for you to keep it but for the Kingdom of God!! TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS, TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS!!!
