Urgent Notice!!

Repent and be baptised. Be Born Again!!  Jesus is coming sooner as you think!! Be Ready!! Keep yourself busy with God's work and not yours!!!

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!!

Ephesians 3: Hebrews and English:

 Hebrews:


הפרק 3

בעבור זאת אני פולוס אסיר המשיח למענכם הגוים׃

2 כי אמנם שמעתם הנהגת חסד האלהים אשר נתן לי אליכם׃

3 כי בחזון גלה לי הסוד אשר למעלה כתבתי לכם במעט׃

4 ובקראכם תוכלו להכיר בזאת את בינתי בסוד המשיח׃

5 אשר בדורת הראשנים לא נודע לבני אדם כאשר נגלה עתה לשליחיו הקדשים ולנביאיו ברוח׃

6 להיות הגוים גם הם בני ירשתו וגוף אחד אתו וחברי הבטחתו במשיח על ידי הבשרה׃

7 אשר הייתי לה למשרת במתנת חסד אלהים הנתונה לי כפי פעלת גבורתו׃

8 לי צעיר הצעירים שבכל הקדשים נתן החסד הזה לבשר בגוים את עשר המשיח אשר לא יחקר׃

9 ולהאיר עיני כל מה היא הנהגת הסוד הנסתר מדרת עולם באלהים יוצר הכל על ידי ישוע המשיח׃

10 למען אשר תודע עתה על ידי העדה לשרים לשליטים אשר במרומים חכמת אלהים המפליאה דתכיה׃

11 על פי עצת עולמים אשר יעץ במשיח ישוע אדנינו׃

12 אשר פתחון פינו ממנו וקרבתנו בבטחה על יד אמונתו׃

13 בעבור זאת אבקש שלא תחתו בצרותי למענכם יען כי היא תפארתכם׃

14 על כן אכרעה על ברכי לאבי אדנינו ישוע המשיח׃

15 אשר נקרא על שמו כל בית אבות שבשמים ושבארץ׃

16 לתת לכם לפי עשר כבודו להתחזק בגבורה על ידי רוחו לאדם הפנימי׃

17 שישכן המשיח בלבבכם באמונה והייתם משרשים ומיסדים באהבה׃

18 למען תוכלו להשיג עם כל הקדשים מה הוא הרחב והארך והעמק והגבה׃

19 וידעתם את אהבת המשיח הנעלה על כל דעת ונמלאתם את כל מלוא האלהים׃

20 ולו אשר יכל להרבות גמוליו עלינו יותר מכל משאלותינו ומחשבותינו לפי הכח הפעל בקרבנו׃

21 לו הכבוד בקרב הקהל במשיח ישוע לדר ודר עד עולמי עולמים אמן׃


English:


"God’s Marvelous Plan for the Gentiles

For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—

Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. In reading this, then, you will be able to understand my insight into the mystery of Christ,  which was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed by the Spirit to God’s holy apostles and prophets.  This mystery is that through the gospel the Gentiles are heirs together with Israel, members together of one body, and sharers together in the promise in Christ Jesus.

I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God’s grace given me through the working of his power.  Although I am less than the least of all the Lord’s people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things.  His intent was that now, through the church, the manifold wisdom of God should be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly realms, according to his eternal purpose that he accomplished in Christ Jesus our Lord.  In him and through faith in him we may approach God with freedom and confidence.  I ask you, therefore, not to be discouraged because of my sufferings for you, which are your glory.


A Prayer for the Ephesians

For this reason I kneel before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name.  I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen."

5.  "For I pass on to you what I received from the Lord himself. On the night when he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus took some bread and gave thanks to God for it. Then he broke it in pieces and said, “This is my body, which is given for you.  Do this in remembrance of me.”  In the same way, he took the cup of wine after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant between God and his people—an agreement confirmed with my blood. Do this in remembrance of me as often as you drink it.”  For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are announcing the Lord’s death until he comes again."

12.  "During that night the LORD said to Gideon, "Get up, go down against the camp, because I am going to give it into your hands." 


13.  "Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a huge crowd of witnesses to the life of faith, let us strip off every weight that slows us down, especially the sin that so easily trips us up. And let us run with endurance the race God has set before us.  We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honor beside God’s throne."


Psalm 91:

"Those who live in the shelter of the Most High

will find rest in the shadow of the Almighty.

This I declare about the Lord:

He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

he is my God, and I trust him.

For he will rescue you from every trap

and protect you from deadly disease.

He will cover you with his feathers.

He will shelter you with his wings.

His faithful promises are your armor and protection.

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night,

nor the arrow that flies in the day.

Do not dread the disease that stalks in darkness,

nor the disaster that strikes at midday.

Though a thousand fall at your side,

though ten thousand are dying around you,

these evils will not touch you.

Just open your eyes,

and see how the wicked are punished.


 If you make the Lord your refuge,

if you make the Most High your shelter,

no evil will conquer you;

no plague will come near your home.

For he will order his angels

to protect you wherever you go.

They will hold you up with their hands

so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.

You will trample upon lions and cobras;

you will crush fierce lions and serpents under your feet!


 The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me.

I will protect those who trust in my name.

When they call on me, I will answer;

I will be with them in trouble.

I will rescue and honor them.

I will reward them with a long life

and give them my salvation."

SALVATION PRAYER:

Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I come to you and ask you to forgive me for my sins. I surrender my life to you. Come into my life and guide me. Show me your will and not my will. In Jesus Name Amen!!

Ephesians 2: Hebrews and English:

 Hebrews:


הפרק 2

גם אתכם המתים לפנים בפשעיכם וחטאתיכם׃

2 אשר התהלכתם בהם לפי דור העולם הזה כרצון שר ממשלת האויר והוא הרוח הפעל כעת בבני המרי׃

3 וגם אנחנו כלנו בתוכם הלכנו לפנים בתאות הבשר לעשות חפצי בשרנו ומחשבותינו ונהי אך בני רגז בטבענו כאשר בני אדם׃

4 אבל האלהים המלא רחמים ברב אהבתו אשר אהב אתנו׃

5 אחרי היותנו מתים בפשעים החינו עם המשיח בחסד נושעתם׃

6 ויעירנו אתו אף הושיבנו במרומים במשיח ישוע׃

7 להראות בדרות הבאים את גדלת עשר חסדו בטובתו עלינו במשיח ישוע׃

8 כי בחסד נושעתם על ידי האמונה ולא מידכם היתה זאת כי מתת אלהים היא׃

9 לא מתוך המעשים שלא יתהלל איש׃

10 כי פעל אלהים אנחנו נבראים במשיח ישוע למעשים טובים אשר הכין האלהים מקדם למען נתהלך בהם׃

11 על כן זכרו כי אתם הגוים בבשר הנקראים ערלים בפי הנקראים בני המילה שהיא מעשה ידים בבשר׃

12 כי אתם בעת ההיא הייתם בלי משיח מוזרים לעדת ישראל ונכרים לבריתות ההבטחה באין תקוה ובאין לכם אלהים בעולם׃

13 ועתה בישוע המשיח אתם הרחוקים מאז הייתם קרובים בדם המשיח׃

14 כי הוא שלומנו אשר עשה השנים לאחד והרס מחיצת הגדר׃

15 בבטלו האיבה בבשרו את תורת המצות בגזרותיהן לברא בנפשו את השנים לאיש אחד חדש ויעש שלום׃

16 וירצה את שניהם בגוף אחד לאלהים על ידי צליבתו בהמיתו בנפשו את האיבה׃

17 ויבא ויבשר שלום לכם הרחוקים והקרובים׃

18 כי על ידו יש לשנינו מבוא ברוח אחד אל אבינו׃

19 לכן אינכם עוד גרים ותושבים כי אתם בני עיר אחת עם הקדשים ובני בית אלהים׃

20 בנוים על יסוד השליחים והנביאים וישוע המשיח הוא אבן הפנה׃

21 אשר חבר בו יחד הבנין כלו עדי יגבה להיכל קדש ליהוה׃

22 ובו נבנים גם אתם להיות משכן אלהים ברוח׃


English:


"Made Alive with Christ

Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins.  You used to live in sin, just like the rest of the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world.  He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God.  All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to God’s anger, just like everyone else.

But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by God’s grace that you have been saved!) For he raised us from the dead along with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms because we are united with Christ Jesus.  So God can point to us in all future ages as examples of the incredible wealth of his grace and kindness toward us, as shown in all he has done for us who are united with Christ Jesus.

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t take credit for this; it is a gift from God.  Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it.  For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.


Oneness and Peace in Christ

Don’t forget that you Gentiles used to be outsiders. You were called “uncircumcised heathens” by the Jews, who were proud of their circumcision, even though it affected only their bodies and not their hearts.  In those days you were living apart from Christ. You were excluded from citizenship among the people of Israel, and you did not know the covenant promises God had made to them. You lived in this world without God and without hope.  But now you have been united with Christ Jesus. Once you were far away from God, but now you have been brought near to him through the blood of Christ.

For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us. He did this by ending the system of law with its commandments and regulations. He made peace between Jews and Gentiles by creating in himself one new people from the two groups.  Together as one body, Christ reconciled both groups to God by means of his death on the cross, and our hostility toward each other was put to death.

He brought this Good News of peace to you Gentiles who were far away from him, and peace to the Jews who were near.  Now all of us can come to the Father through the same Holy Spirit because of what Christ has done for us.


A Temple for the Lord

So now you Gentiles are no longer strangers and foreigners. You are citizens along with all of God’s holy people. You are members of God’s family.  Together, we are his house, built on the foundation of the apostles and the prophets. And the cornerstone is Christ Jesus himself.  We are carefully joined together in him, becoming a holy temple for the Lord.  Through him you Gentiles are also being made part of this dwelling where God lives by his Spirit."

Matthew 16: Hebrews and English:

 Hebrews:


הפרק 16

ויגשו הפרושים והצדוקים לנסותו וישאלו מאתו להראותם אות מן השמים׃

2 ויען ויאמר להם בערב תאמרו יום צח יהיה כי אדמו השמים׃

3 ובבקר תאמרו היום סער כי אדמו והתקדרו השמים חנפים אתם את פני השמים ידעתם לבחן ואתות העתים לא תוכלו׃

4 דור רע ומנאף בקש לו אות ואות לא ינתן לו בלתי אם אות יונה הנביא ויעזבם וילך לו׃

5 וכבוא התלמידים אל עבר הים שכחו לקחת אתם לחם׃

6 ויאמר ישוע אליהם ראו והשמרו לכם משאר הפרושים והצדוקים׃

7 ויחשבו בלבבם לאמר כי לא לקחנו אתנו לחם׃

8 וידע ישוע ויאמר אליהם קטני האמונה מה תחשבו בלבבכם כי לא לקחתם אתכם לחם׃

9 העוד לא תשכילו ולא תזכרו את חמשת ככרות הלחם לחמשת אלפי איש וכמה סלים נשאתם׃

10 ואת שבע ככרות לחם לארבעת אלפי איש וכמה דודים נשאתם׃

11 איך לא תבינו כי לא על הלחם אמרתי אליכם השמרו לכם משאר הפרושים והצדוקים׃

12 אז הבינו כי לא אמר להשמר משאר הלחם כי אם מלמוד הפרושים והצדוקים׃

13 ויהי כבוא ישוע אל גלילות קיסרין של פילפוס וישאל את תלמידיו לאמר מה אמרים האנשים עלי מי הוא בן האדם׃

14 ויאמרו יש אמרים יוחנן המטביל הוא ואחרים אמרים אליהו ויש אמרים ירמיהו או אחד מן הנביאים׃

15 ויאמר אליהם ואתם מה תאמרו מי אני׃

16 ויען שמעון פטרוס ויאמר אתה הוא המשיח בן אלהים חיים׃

17 ויען ויאמר אליו אשריך שמעון בר יונה כי בשר ודם לא גלה לך את זאת כי אם אבי שבשמים׃

18 ואף אני אמר אליך כי אתה פטרוס ועל הסלע הזה אבנה את קהלתי ושערי שאול לא יגברו עליה׃

19 ואתן לך את מפתחות מלכות השמים וכל אשר תאסר על הארץ אסור יהיה בשמים וכל אשר תתיר על הארץ מתר יהיה בשמים׃

20 אז צוה את התלמידים בגערה לבלתי הגיד לאיש כי הוא ישוע המשיח׃

21 מן העת ההיא החל ישוע להורות את תלמידיו שהוא צריך ללכת ירושלים ויענה הרבה בידי הזקנים והכהנים הגדולים והסופרים ויהרג וביום השלישי קום יקום׃

22 ויקחהו פטרוס ויחל לגער בו לאמר חס לך אדני אל יהי לך כזאת׃

23 ויפן ויאמר לפטרוס סור מעלי השטן למכשול אתה לי כי אין לבך לדברי אלהים כי אם לדברי בני אדם׃

24 ויאמר ישוע אל תלמידיו איש כי יחפץ ללכת אחרי יכחש בנפשו ונשא את צלבו והלך אחרי׃

25 כי כל אשר יחפץ להושיע את נפשו תאבד נפשו ממנו וכל אשר תאבד לו נפשו למעני הוא ימצאנה׃

26 כי מה יועיל האדם כי יקנה את כל העולם ונפשו תשחת או מה יתן האדם פדיון נפשו׃

27 כי עתיד בן האדם לבוא בכבוד אביו עם מלאכיו ואז ישלם לכל איש כמעשהו׃

28 אמן אמר אני לכם כי יש מן העמדים פה אשר לא יטעמו מות עד כי יראו את בן האדם בא במלכותו׃

"Leaders Demand a Miraculous Sign

One day the Pharisees and Sadducees came to test Jesus, demanding that he show them a miraculous sign from heaven to prove his authority.

He replied, “You know the saying, ‘Red sky at night means fair weather tomorrow;  red sky in the morning means foul weather all day.’ You know how to interpret the weather signs in the sky, but you don’t know how to interpret the signs of the times! Only an evil, adulterous generation would demand a miraculous sign, but the only sign I will give them is the sign of the prophet Jonah.” Then Jesus left them and went away.


Yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees

Later, after they crossed to the other side of the lake, the disciples discovered they had forgotten to bring any bread.  “Watch out!” Jesus warned them. “Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”

At this they began to argue with each other because they hadn’t brought any bread.  Jesus knew what they were saying, so he said, “You have so little faith! Why are you arguing with each other about having no bread?  Don’t you understand even yet? Don’t you remember the 5,000 I fed with five loaves, and the baskets of leftovers you picked up?  Or the 4,000 I fed with seven loaves, and the large baskets of leftovers you picked up?  Why can’t you understand that I’m not talking about bread? So again I say, ‘Beware of the yeast of the Pharisees and Sadducees.’”

Then at last they understood that he wasn’t speaking about the yeast in bread, but about the deceptive teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.


Peter’s Declaration about Jesus

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, “Who do people say that the Son of Man is?”

“Well,” they replied, “some say John the Baptist, some say Elijah, and others say Jeremiah or one of the other prophets.”

Then he asked them, “But who do you say I am?”

Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.”

Jesus replied, “You are blessed, Simon son of John, because my Father in heaven has revealed this to you. You did not learn this from any human being.  Now I say to you that you are Peter (which means ‘rock’), and upon this rock I will build my church, and all the powers of hell will not conquer it.  And I will give you the keys of the Kingdom of Heaven. Whatever you forbid on earth will be forbidden in heaven, and whatever you permit on earth will be permitted in heaven.”

Then he sternly warned the disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.


Jesus Predicts His Death

From then on Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem, and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but on the third day he would be raised from the dead.

But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. “Heaven forbid, Lord,” he said. “This will never happen to you!”

Jesus turned to Peter and said, “Get away from me, Satan! You are a dangerous trap to me. You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me.  If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.  And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? For the Son of Man will come with his angels in the glory of his Father and will judge all people according to their deeds.  And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in his Kingdom.”

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!!

The Importance of Repentance!!

 Many believers believe that by only believing in Jesus that you will get you into heaven.  But it is totally wrong!! You can't just say I believe in Jesus and now I'm saved.  Wrong again!! Jesus said you have to be born again.  Not on the world's terms but on God's terms!! To be born again you need to change!!!!!  You need to REPENT first OFALL from all your sins!! Turn away from your old ways!!! Ask for forgiveness!! And how many people are willing to do it? They want to be Christians on their own terms in their comfort zone!!

It is a challenge to change your lifestyle!!  And many don't like challenges.  The end result is that if you don't want to do it God's way, you will not be saved.  It is a different lifestyle from the world's lifestyle.  

2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come."

By repentance you crucify the old life.  You don't want to do the worldly things anymore.  You are turning your back on the old.  You ask Jesus to come into your life, and to change you.  It is no longer I but Christ in me.  You are a changed, new person. You are no more a sinner because you are saved by grace through faith in Christ Jesus!! 

And to live a godly lifestyle you need to  chang into a new person.  And it starts with Repentance!!!

But you need to REPENT first!!

Acts 3:19: "Repent therefore, and turn back, that your sins may be blotted out."

2 Peter 3:9: "The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance."

Acts 2:38: "And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."

Matthew 3:8: "Bear fruit in keeping with repentance."

Acts 17:30: "The times of ignorance God overlooked, but now he commands all people everywhere to repent."

Luke 13:3: "No, I tell you; but unless you repent, you will all likewise perish."

1 John 1:9: "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."

Luke 5:32: "I have not come to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.”
