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!!

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!!!

Luke 8: Hebrews and English:

 Hebrews:

הפרק 8

ויהי אחרי כן ויעבר מעיר אל עיר ומכפר אל כפר קורא ומבשר את מלכות האלהים ושנים העשר אתו׃

2 ונשים אשר נרפאו מרוחות רעות ומחליים מרים הנקראה מגדלית אשר גרשו ממנה שבעה שדים׃

3 ויוחנה אשת כוזא סוכן הורדוס ושושנה ואחרות רבות אשר שרתהו מנכסיהן׃

4 ויהי בהתאסף המון עם רב אשר יצאו אליו מעיר ועיר וידבר במשל׃

5 הזורע יצא לזרע את זרעו ובזרעו נפל מן הזרע על יד הדרך וירמס ועוף השמים אכלו׃

6 ויש אשר נפל על הסלע ויצמח וייבש כי לא היתה לו לחה׃

7 ויש אשר נפל בתוך הקצים ויצמחו הקצים עמו וימעכהו׃

8 ויש אשר נפל על האדמה הטובה ויצמח ויעש פרי מאה שערים כזאת דבר ויזעק מי אשר אזנים לו לשמע ישמע׃

9 וישאלהו תלמידיו לאמר מה המשל הזה׃

10 ויאמר לכם נתן לדעת את סודות מלכות האלהים ולאחרים במשלים למען בראתם לא יראו ובשמעם לא יבינו׃

11 וזה הוא המשל הזרע דבר אלהים הוא׃

12 ואשר על יד הדרך הם השמעים ואחר כן בא השטן ונשא את הדבר מלבם פן יאמינו ונושעו׃

13 ואשר על הסלע הם המקבלים בשמחה את הדבר בשמעם ושרש אין להם רק לשעה מאמינים ובעת הנסיון יסגו אחור׃

14 ואשר נפל בין הקצים הם השמעים והוליכם להם וימכו בדאגות ובעשר ובתאות החיים ופרי לא ישוו למו׃

15 ואשר באדמה הטובה הם השמרים בלב טוב וטהור את הדבר אשר שמעו ועשים פרי בתוחלת׃

16 ואין איש מדליק נר אשר יכסה אותו בכלי או ישימהו תחת המטה כי אם על המנורה יעלהו למען יראו כל באי הבית את האור׃

17 כי אין דבר נעלם אשר לא יגלה ואין גנוז אשר לא יודע ובא לאור׃

18 לכן ראו איך תשמעון כי כל אשר יש לו נתון ינתן לו וכל אשר אין לו גם את אשר הוא חשב להיות לו יקח ממנו׃

19 ויבאו אליו אמו ואחיו ולא יכלו לגשת אליו מפני העם׃

20 ויגד לו לאמר אמך ואחיך עמדים בחוץ והם חפצים לראותך׃

21 ויען ויאמר אליהם אמי ואחי הם השמעים ועשים את דבר האלהים׃

22 ויהי היום וירד אל אניה הוא ותלמידיו ויאמר אליהם נעברה אל עבר הים וישוטו הימה׃

23 ויהי בלכתם באניה וישכב ויישן ורוח סערה ירדה על הים וישטפו עליהם המים ויהיו בסכנה׃

24 ויגשו ויעירו אותו לאמר מורה מורה אבדנו ויעור ויגער ברוח ובמשברי ים וישתקו ותהי דממה׃

25 ויאמר אליהם איה אמונתכם וייראו ויתמהו ויאמרו איש אל רעהו מי אפוא הוא המצוה גם את הרוחות ואת המים וישמעו לו׃

26 ויעברו ויבאו אל ארץ הגדריים אשר ממול הגליל׃

27 ויצא אל היבשה ויפגשהו איש מן העיר אשר שדים בו מימים רבים ובגד לא לבש ובבית לא ישב כי אם בקברים׃

28 וירא את ישוע ויפל לפניו ויקרא בקול גדול מה לי ולך ישוע בן אל עליון מבקש אני ממך אשר לא תענני׃

29 כי צוה את הרוח הטמא לצאת מן האיש כי ימים רבים חטף אתו ונאסר בזיקים ונשמר בכבלים והיה בנתקו את המוסרות ונדחף ביד השד אל המדברות׃

30 וישאל אתו ישוע לאמר מה שמך ויאמר לגיון שמי כי שדים רבים נכנסו בו׃

31 ויתחנן לו לבלתי צות אתם לרדת אל התהום׃

32 ויהי שם עדר חזירים רבים על המרעה בהר ויתחננו לו כי יניח להם לבוא אל תוכם וינח להם׃

33 ויצאו השדים מן האדם ההוא ויבאו בחזירים וישתער העדר מן המורד אל הים ויטבע׃

34 וינוסו הרעים כראותם את אשר נעשה ויגידו הדבר בעיר ובכפרים׃

35 ויצאו לראת את אשר נעשה ויבאו אל ישוע וימצאו שם את האדם אשר יצאו ממנו השדים ישב לרגלי ישוע מלבש וטוב שכל וייראו׃

36 ויספרו להם הראים איך נרפא אחוז השדים׃

37 ויבקשו ממנו כל המון חבל הגדריים ללכת מאתם כי אימה גדולה נפלה עליהם וירד אל האניה וישב׃

38 ויבקש ממנו האיש אשר יצאו ממנו השדים לשבת אתו וישלח אתו ישוע באמרו׃

39 שוב לביתך וספר הגדלות אשר עשה לך האלהים וילך לו וישמע בכל העיר את הגדלות אשר עשה לו ישוע׃

40 ויהי בשוב ישוע ויקבל אתו העם כי כלם היו מחכים לו׃

41 והנה בא איש ושמו יאיר והוא ראש בית הכנסת ויפל לרגלי ישוע ויתחנן לו לבוא אתו אל ביתו׃

42 כי בת יחידה כשתים עשרה שנה היתה לו והיא נוטה למות ויהי בלכתו שמה וידחקהו המון העם׃

43 ואשה זבת דם שתים עשרה שנה אשר הוציאה כל קנינה לרפאים ואין איש יכל לרפאתה׃

44 היא קרבה מאחריו ותגע בציצת בגדו וזוב דמה עמד פתאם׃

45 ויאמר ישוע מי זה נגע בי וכלם כחשו ויאמר פטרוס והעמדים אצלו מורה המון העם דחקים ולחצים אתך ואתה תאמר מי נגע בי׃

46 ויאמר ישוע נגע בי אדם כי ידעתי אשר יצאה ממני גבורה׃

47 ותרא האשה כי לא נסתרה ממנו ותחרד לקראתו ותפל לפניו ותגד באזני כל העם על מה נגעה בו ואיך נרפאה פתאם׃

48 ויאמר אליה חזקי בתי אמונתך הושיעה לך לכי לשלום׃

49 עודנו מדבר ואיש בא מבית ראש הכנסת ויאמר מתה בתך אל תטריח את המורה׃

50 וישמע ישוע ויען ויאמר לו אל תירא אך האמן והיא תושע׃

51 ויבא הביתה ולא הניח לאיש לבוא אתו בלתי אם לפטרוס וליעקב וליוחנן ולאבי הילדה ולאמה׃

52 וכלם בכים וספדים לה ויאמר אל תבכו כי לא מתה אך ישנה היא׃

53 וישחקו עליו באשר ידעו כי מתה׃

54 והוא אחז בידה ויקרא לאמר הילדה קומי׃

55 ותשב רוחה ותקם פתאם ויצו לתת לה לאכול׃

56 וישתוממו אביה ואמה והוא צוה אתם לבלתי הגיד לאיש את אשר נעשה

"Women Who Followed Jesus

Soon afterward Jesus began a tour of the nearby towns and villages, preaching and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom of God. He took his twelve disciples with him, along with some women who had been cured of evil spirits and diseases. Among them were Mary Magdalene, from whom he had cast out seven demons; Joanna, the wife of Chuza, Herod’s business manager; Susanna; and many others who were contributing from their own resources to support Jesus and his disciples.

Parable of the Farmer Scattering Seed

One day Jesus told a story in the form of a parable to a large crowd that had gathered from many towns to hear him:  “A farmer went out to plant his seed. As he scattered it across his field, some seed fell on a footpath, where it was stepped on, and the birds ate it.  Other seed fell among rocks. It began to grow, but the plant soon wilted and died for lack of moisture.  Other seed fell among thorns that grew up with it and choked out the tender plants.  Still other seed fell on fertile soil. This seed grew and produced a crop that was a hundred times as much as had been planted!” When he had said this, he called out, “Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand.”

His disciples asked him what this parable meant.  He replied, “You are permitted to understand the secrets of the Kingdom of God. But I use parables to teach the others so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled:

‘When they look, they won’t really see.  When they hear, they won’t understand.’

“This is the meaning of the parable: The seed is God’s word.  The seeds that fell on the footpath represent those who hear the message, only to have the devil come and take it away from their hearts and prevent them from believing and being saved.  The seeds on the rocky soil represent those who hear the message and receive it with joy. But since they don’t have deep roots, they believe for a while, then they fall away when they face temptation.  The seeds that fell among the thorns represent those who hear the message, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the cares and riches and pleasures of this life. And so they never grow into maturity.  And the seeds that fell on the good soil represent honest, good-hearted people who hear God’s word, cling to it, and patiently produce a huge harvest.

Parable of the Lamp

“No one lights a lamp and then covers it with a bowl or hides it under a bed. A lamp is placed on a stand, where its light can be seen by all who enter the house.  For all that is secret will eventually be brought into the open, and everything that is concealed will be brought to light and made known to all.

“So pay attention to how you hear. To those who listen to my teaching, more understanding will be given. But for those who are not listening, even what they think they understand will be taken away from them.”

The True Family of Jesus

Then Jesus’ mother and brothers came to see him, but they couldn’t get to him because of the crowd.  Someone told Jesus, “Your mother and your brothers are standing outside, and they want to see you.”

Jesus replied, “My mother and my brothers are all those who hear God’s word and obey it.”

Jesus Calms the Storm

One day Jesus said to his disciples, “Let’s cross to the other side of the lake.” So they got into a boat and started out.  As they sailed across, Jesus settled down for a nap. But soon a fierce storm came down on the lake. The boat was filling with water, and they were in real danger.

The disciples went and woke him up, shouting, “Master, Master, we’re going to drown!”

When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and the raging waves. Suddenly the storm stopped and all was calm.  Then he asked them, “Where is your faith?”

The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When he gives a command, even the wind and waves obey him!”

Jesus Heals a Demon-Possessed Man

So they arrived in the region of the Gerasenes, across the lake from Galilee.  As Jesus was climbing out of the boat, a man who was possessed by demons came out to meet him. For a long time he had been homeless and naked, living in the tombs outside the town.

As soon as he saw Jesus, he shrieked and fell down in front of him. Then he screamed, “Why are you interfering with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? Please, I beg you, don’t torture me!”  For Jesus had already commanded the evil spirit to come out of him. This spirit had often taken control of the man. Even when he was placed under guard and put in chains and shackles, he simply broke them and rushed out into the wilderness, completely under the demon’s power.

Jesus demanded, “What is your name?”

“Legion,” he replied, for he was filled with many demons.  The demons kept begging Jesus not to send them into the bottomless pit.

There happened to be a large herd of pigs feeding on the hillside nearby, and the demons begged him to let them enter into the pigs.

So Jesus gave them permission.  Then the demons came out of the man and entered the pigs, and the entire herd plunged down the steep hillside into the lake and drowned.

When the herdsmen saw it, they fled to the nearby town and the surrounding countryside, spreading the news as they ran.  People rushed out to see what had happened. A crowd soon gathered around Jesus, and they saw the man who had been freed from the demons. He was sitting at Jesus’ feet, fully clothed and perfectly sane, and they were all afraid.  Then those who had seen what happened told the others how the demon-possessed man had been healed.  And all the people in the region of the Gerasenes begged Jesus to go away and leave them alone, for a great wave of fear swept over them.

So Jesus returned to the boat and left, crossing back to the other side of the lake.  The man who had been freed from the demons begged to go with him. But Jesus sent him home, saying,  “No, go back to your family, and tell them everything God has done for you.” So he went all through the town proclaiming the great things Jesus had done for him.

Jesus Heals in Response to Faith

On the other side of the lake the crowds welcomed Jesus, because they had been waiting for him.  Then a man named Jairus, a leader of the local synagogue, came and fell at Jesus’ feet, pleading with him to come home with him.  His only daughter, who was about twelve years old, was dying.

As Jesus went with him, he was surrounded by the crowds.  A woman in the crowd had suffered for twelve years with constant bleeding, and she could find no cure.  Coming up behind Jesus, she touched the fringe of his robe. Immediately, the bleeding stopped.

“Who touched me?” Jesus asked.

Everyone denied it, and Peter said, “Master, this whole crowd is pressing up against you.”

But Jesus said, “Someone deliberately touched me, for I felt healing power go out from me.” When the woman realized that she could not stay hidden, she began to tremble and fell to her knees in front of him. The whole crowd heard her explain why she had touched him and that she had been immediately healed.  “Daughter,” he said to her, “your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

While he was still speaking to her, a messenger arrived from the home of Jairus, the leader of the synagogue. He told him, “Your daughter is dead. There’s no use troubling the Teacher now.”

But when Jesus heard what had happened, he said to Jairus, “Don’t be afraid. Just have faith, and she will be healed.”

When they arrived at the house, Jesus wouldn’t let anyone go in with him except Peter, John, James, and the little girl’s father and mother.  The house was filled with people weeping and wailing, but he said, “Stop the weeping! She isn’t dead; she’s only asleep.”

But the crowd laughed at him because they all knew she had died.  Then Jesus took her by the hand and said in a loud voice, “My child, get up!”  And at that moment her life returned, and she immediately stood up! Then Jesus told them to give her something to eat.  Her parents were overwhelmed, but Jesus insisted that they not tell anyone what had happened."

Luke 7: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 7

ויהי אחרי כלותו לדבר את כל דבריו באזני העם ויבא אל כפר נחום׃

2 ועבד לאחד משרי המאות חלה למות והוא יקר לו מאד׃

3 וישמע את שמע ישוע וישלח אליו מזקני היהודים וישאל מאתו לבוא ולהושיע את עבדו׃

4 ויבאו אל ישוע ויתחננו לו מאד ויאמרו ראוי הוא אשר תעשה בקשתו׃

5 כי אהב עמנו הוא והוא בנה לנו את בית הכנסת׃

6 וילך אתם ישוע ויהי כאשר קרב אל הבית וישלח אליו שר המאה על ידי רעיו לאמר לו בי אדני אל נא תטריח את עצמך כי אינני כדי שתבוא בצל קורתי׃

7 ובעבור זאת גם את עצמי לא חשבתי ראוי לבוא אליך אך דבר נא דבר וירפא נערי׃

8 כי גם אנכי איש נתון תחת השלטון יש תחת ידי אנשי צבא ואמרתי לזה לך והלך ולזה בוא ובא ולעבדי עשה זאת ועשה׃

9 וישמע ישוע את דבריו ויתמה עליו ויפן ויאמר אל ההמון ההלך אחריו אמר אני לכם גם בישראל לא מצאתי אמונה גדולה כזאת׃

10 וישובו השלוחים אל הבית וימצאו את העבד החלה והוא נרפא׃

11 ויהי ממחרת וילך אל עיר ושמה נעים ורבים מתלמידיו הלכים אתו והמון עם רב׃

12 הוא קרב אל שער העיר והנה מוציאים מת בן יחיד לאמו והיא אלמנה ועמה רבים מעם העיר׃

13 וכראות אתה האדון נכמרו רחמיו עליה ויאמר לה אל תבכי׃

14 ויגש ויגע בארון והנשאים עמדו ויאמר עלם אמר אני אליך קומה׃

15 ויתעודד המת ויחל לדבר ויתנהו לאמו׃

16 ותאחז כלם רעדה וישבחו את האלהים ויאמרו כי נביא גדול קם בקרבנו וכי פקד האלהים את עמו׃

17 ויצא הדבר הזה בכל יהודה ובכל הככר׃

18 ותלמידי יוחנן הגידו לו את כל אלה׃

19 ויקרא אליו יוחנן שנים מתלמידיו וישלחם אל ישוע לאמר לו האתה הוא הבא אם נחכה לאחר׃

20 ויבאו אליו האנשים ויאמרו יוחנן המטביל שלחנו אליך לאמר האתה הוא הבא אם נחכה לאחר׃

21 בעת ההיא רפא רבים מחליים ומנגעים ומרוחות רעות ולעורים רבים נתן ראות עינים׃

22 ויען ישוע ויאמר להם לכו והגידו ליוחנן את אשר ראיתם ואשר שמעתם כי עורים ראים ופסחים מתהלכים ומצרעים מטהרים וחרשים שומעים ומתים קמים ועניים מתבשרים׃

23 ואשרי אשר לא יכשל בי׃

24 ויהי כאשר הלכו להם שלוחי יוחנן ויחל לדבר אל המון העם על אדות יוחנן ויאמר מה זה יצאתם המדברה לראות הקנה אשר ינוע ברוח׃

25 ואם לא מה זה יצאתם לראות האיש לבוש בגדי עדנים הנה המלבשים בגדי תפארת והמענגים בחצרות המלכים המה׃

26 ועתה מה זה יצאתם לראות אם לראות איש נביא הן אני אמר לכם כי אף גדול הוא מנביא׃

27 זה הוא אשר כתוב עליו הנני שלח מלאכי לפניך ופנה דרכך לפניך׃

28 כי אמר אני לכם אין איש בילודי אשה גדול מיוחנן המטביל אך הקטן במלכות האלהים גדול הוא ממנו׃

29 וכל העם והמכסים כשמעם הצדיקו את האלהים ויטבלו בטבילת יוחנן׃

30 אך הפרושים ובעלי התורה נאצו את עצת האלהים על נפשם ולא נטבלו על ידו׃

31 ויאמר האדון עתה אל מי אדמה את אנשי הדור הזה ואל מי הם דמים׃

32 דמים הם לילדים הישבים בשוק וקראים זה אל זה ואמרים חללנו לכם בחלילים ולא רקדתם קוננו לכם קינה ולא בכיתם׃

33 כי בא יוחנן המטביל לחם לא אכל ויין לא שתה ואמרתם שד בו׃

34 ובא בן האדם והוא אכל ושתה ואמרתם הנה זולל וסבא ורע למוכסים ולחטאים׃

35 ותצדק החכמה על ידי כל בניה׃

36 ויבקש ממנו אחד מן הפרושים לאכל אתו לחם ויבא אל בית הפרוש ויסב׃

37 והנה אשה אחת בעיר והיא חטאת שמעה כי הוא מסב בית הפרוש ותבא פך שמן המור׃

38 ותעמד לרגליו מאחריו ותבך ותחל להרטיב את רגליו בדמעות ותנגב אתן בשערות ראשה ותשק את רגליו ותמשח אתן בשמן׃

39 וירא הפרוש הקרא אתו ויאמר בלבו אלו היה זה נביא כי עתה ידע ידע מי היא זאת ואי זו היא הנגעת בו כי אשה חטאת היא׃

40 ויען ישוע ויאמר אליו שמעון דבר לי אליך ויאמר רבי דבר׃

41 שני חיבים היו לנשה אחד האחד חיב לו דינרים חמש מאות והשני דינרים חמשים׃

42 ויהי באשר לא השיגה ידם לשלם וישמט את שניהם ועתה אמר נא מי משניהם ירבה לאהבה אתו׃

43 ויען שמעון ויאמר אחשב כי האיש ההוא אשר הרבה להשמיט לו ויאמר אליו כן שפטת׃

44 ויפן אל האשה ויאמר אל שמעון הראית את האשה הזאת הנה באתי אל ביתך ומים על רגלי לא נתת והיא הרטיבה את רגלי בדמעות ותנגב בשערותיה׃

45 נשיקה לא נשקתני והיא מאז באתי לא חדלה מנשק את רגלי׃

46 בשמן לא משחת את ראשי והיא בשמן המור משחה את רגלי׃

47 לכן אני אמר אליך נסלחו לה חטאתיה הרבות כי הרבה אהבה ואשר נסלח לו מעט הוא אהב מעט׃

48 ויאמר אליה נסלחו לך חטאתיך׃

49 ויחלו המסבים עמו לאמר בלבם מי הוא זה אשר גם יסלח חטאים׃

50 ויאמר אל האשה אמונתך הושיעה לך לכי לשלום׃

English:

"The Faith of a Roman Officer

When Jesus had finished saying all this to the people, he returned to Capernaum.  At that time the highly valued slave of a Roman officer was sick and near death.  When the officer heard about Jesus, he sent some respected Jewish elders to ask him to come and heal his slave.  So they earnestly begged Jesus to help the man. “If anyone deserves your help, he does,” they said,  “for he loves the Jewish people and even built a synagogue for us.”

So Jesus went with them. But just before they arrived at the house, the officer sent some friends to say, “Lord, don’t trouble yourself by coming to my home, for I am not worthy of such an honor.  I am not even worthy to come and meet you. Just say the word from where you are, and my servant will be healed.  I know this because I am under the authority of my superior officers, and I have authority over my soldiers. I only need to say, ‘Go,’ and they go, or ‘Come,’ and they come. And if I say to my slaves, ‘Do this,’ they do it.”

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed. Turning to the crowd that was following him, he said, “I tell you, I haven’t seen faith like this in all Israel!”  And when the officer’s friends returned to his house, they found the slave completely healed.

Jesus Raises a Widow’s Son

Soon afterward Jesus went with his disciples to the village of Nain, and a large crowd followed him.  A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her.  When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. “Don’t cry!” he said.  Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. “Young man,” he said, “I tell you, get up.”  Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! And Jesus gave him back to his mother.

Great fear swept the crowd, and they praised God, saying, “A mighty prophet has risen among us,” and “God has visited his people today.”  And the news about Jesus spread throughout Judea and the surrounding countryside.

Jesus and John the Baptist

The disciples of John the Baptist told John about everything Jesus was doing. So John called for two of his disciples, and he sent them to the Lord to ask him, “Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?”

John’s two disciples found Jesus and said to him, “John the Baptist sent us to ask, ‘Are you the Messiah we’ve been expecting, or should we keep looking for someone else?’”

At that very time, Jesus cured many people of their diseases, illnesses, and evil spirits, and he restored sight to many who were blind.  Then he told John’s disciples, “Go back to John and tell him what you have seen and heard—the blind see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor.”  And he added, “God blesses those who do not fall away because of me.”

After John’s disciples left, Jesus began talking about him to the crowds. “What kind of man did you go into the wilderness to see? Was he a weak reed, swayed by every breath of wind?  Or were you expecting to see a man dressed in expensive clothes? No, people who wear beautiful clothes and live in luxury are found in palaces.  Were you looking for a prophet? Yes, and he is more than a prophet.  John is the man to whom the Scriptures refer when they say,

‘Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you, and he will prepare your way before you.’

I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John. Yet even the least person in the Kingdom of God is greater than he is!”

When they heard this, all the people—even the tax collectors—agreed that God’s way was right, for they had been baptized by John.  But the Pharisees and experts in religious law rejected God’s plan for them, for they had refused John’s baptism.

“To what can I compare the people of this generation?” Jesus asked. “How can I describe them?  They are like children playing a game in the public square. They complain to their friends,

‘We played wedding songs, and you didn’t dance, so we played funeral songs, and you didn’t weep.’

For John the Baptist didn’t spend his time eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He’s possessed by a demon.’ The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, ‘He’s a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!’  But wisdom is shown to be right by the lives of those who follow it.”

Jesus Anointed by a Sinful Woman

One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to have dinner with him, so Jesus went to his home and sat down to eat.  When a certain immoral woman from that city heard he was eating there, she brought a beautiful alabaster jar filled with expensive perfume.  Then she knelt behind him at his feet, weeping. Her tears fell on his feet, and she wiped them off with her hair. Then she kept kissing his feet and putting perfume on them.

When the Pharisee who had invited him saw this, he said to himself, “If this man were a prophet, he would know what kind of woman is touching him. She’s a sinner!”

Then Jesus answered his thoughts. “Simon,” he said to the Pharisee, “I have something to say to you.”

“Go ahead, Teacher,” Simon replied.

Then Jesus told him this story: “A man loaned money to two people—500 pieces of silver to one and pieces to the other.  But neither of them could repay him, so he kindly forgave them both, canceling their debts. Who do you suppose loved him more after that?”

Simon answered, “I suppose the one for whom he canceled the larger debt.”

“That’s right,” Jesus said.  Then he turned to the woman and said to Simon, “Look at this woman kneeling here. When I entered your home, you didn’t offer me water to wash the dust from my feet, but she has washed them with her tears and wiped them with her hair. You didn’t greet me with a kiss, but from the time I first came in, she has not stopped kissing my feet.  You neglected the courtesy of olive oil to anoint my head, but she has anointed my feet with rare perfume.

“I tell you, her sins—and they are many—have been forgiven, so she has shown me much love. But a person who is forgiven little shows only little love.”  Then Jesus said to the woman, “Your sins are forgiven.”

The men at the table said among themselves, “Who is this man, that he goes around forgiving sins?”

And Jesus said to the woman, “Your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

Jesus Christ, the Son of God!!

Jesus was there from the beginning of the world.  He was the word spoken by God.  John 1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God."

John 1: "So the Word became human and made his home among us. He was full of unfailing love and faithfulness.  And we have seen his glory, the glory of the Father’s one and only Son."

Jesus became human so He could die for us on the cross for our sins. 

John 3: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life."

John 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."

Jesus came so that we could live in abundance, oveflow, more than enough.  He loves you so much that He gave up His life for you and me.  And that is why we also must give our lives to Him.  Invite Him in your life, ask Him to come into your life.  He will take care of you and He will protect you wherever you go.  

John 14: "Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me."

Jesus is the way to our Heavenly Father.  He is the Truth.  He is the Life.  He is the Light.  

John 8: "Jesus spoke to the people once more and said, “I am the light of the world. If you follow me, you won’t have to walk in darkness, because you will have the light that leads to life.”

Follow Jesus, keep your eyes on Him.  Don't be afraid of the darkness.  Jesus is the Light and you must follow Him. And you don't have to be scared and afraid.

Matthew 6: "So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.  Seek the Kingdom of God above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need."

1 John 4: "You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world." 

Jesus lives in you.  He is greater than anyone in this world! He will protect you from all danger.  

 

A Christian Walk!!

Almighty God created the heaven and the earth and everything on it.  He created you and me!! He gave us the authority to rule and reign on this earth!!

Genesis 1:1-5: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.  Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.  And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.  God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day."

Genesis 1: 26-28: "Then God said, “Let us make human beings in our image, to be like us. They will reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, the livestock, all the wild animals on the earth, and the small animals that scurry along the ground.” So God created human beings in his own image.  In the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.  Then God blessed them and said, “Be fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that scurry along the ground.”

Jeremiah 1:5: "“I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb.  Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.”

God gave us a freedom of choice!! He doesn't force Himself onto us!!  He loves you and me with an everlasting love. He sent His one and only Son to this earth to save you and me and to have an abundant life!!

John 3:16: “For this is how God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life."

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."

Deuteronomy 30:19-20: " This day I call the heavens and the earth as witnesses against you that I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life, so that you and your children may live and that you may love the Lord your God, listen to his voice, and hold fast to him. For the Lord is your life, and he will give you many years in the land he swore to give to your fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob."

Choose life, Choose Christ and receive eternal life. To follow Christ you must be born again!! You must die to yourself!! You must ask for forgiveness and ask Jesus to come into your life!! After you are born again then you will receive the Holy Spirit and also it is important to be baptised!!

John 3:3: " Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.”

Acts 2:38: "Peter replied, “Each of you must repent of your sins and turn to God, and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. Then you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit."

Matthew 28:19-20: " Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Teach these new disciples to obey all the commands I have given you. And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”

Galatians 2:20: "My old self has been crucified with Christ.  It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. "

As a born again believer your life is going to be a different lifestyle than the world's lifestyle! You will be a light in the darkness! You will no longer want to be part of the world's lifestyle. It is so very important to sit under the Word of God!! Study, meditate, speak, sleep, focus and eat the Word of God!! It is very important because then you will stand firm, and nothing will pull you down!!

Matthew 4:4: "Jesus answered, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God."

 Romans 10:17: "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."

Joshua 1:8-9: "Study this Book of Instruction continually. Meditate on it day and night so you will be sure to obey everything written in it. Only then will you prosper and succeed in all you do.  This is my command—be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid or discouraged. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”

God said, "Be strong and courageous." Do not be afraid!! Your Heavenly Father is always with you!! With the Lord on your side, you will always be victorious! 

Psalm 118:14: "The Lord is my strength and my song; he has given me victory."

Remember that Jesus has the victory!! He died on the cross and He was raised from the dead!! He has overcome so that you and I can live in victory!!

John 16:33: "These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”

It is a different lifestyle, you are going to be like a stranger in this world because you don't belong to this world anymore, you are in this world but not from the world! You and I are Kingdom property!! We belong to the Most High God!

Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, And every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn." This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is from Me,” Says the LORD."

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!!
