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!!!

Hebrews 4: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews

1 על כן נירא נא בהמצא עוד ההבטחה לבוא אל מנוחתו פן יראה איש מכם מאחר פעמיו׃

2 כי גם אלינו באה הבשורה כמו אליהם אך לא הועיל להם דבר השמועה מפני אשר לא התערב באמונה לשמעים׃

3 כי באי המונה אנחנו המאמינים כמו שאמר אשר נשבעתי באפי אם יבאון אל מנוחתי אף כי נגמרו מעשי יהוה מעת הוסד העולם׃

4 כי על היום השביעי אמר במקום אחד וישבת ביום השביעי מכל מלאכתו׃

5 ובמקום הזה אמר עוד אם יבאון אל מנוחתי׃

6 ויען כי יש עוד מקום לבוא אליה ואשר התבשרו בראשונה המה לא באו שם בעבור המרי׃

7 לכן הוסיף לקבוע יום באמרו היום על ידי דוד מקץ ימים רבים כמו שנאמר היום אם בקלו תשמעו אל תקשו לבבכם׃

8 כי אלו יהושע הניח להם לא היה מדבר אחרי זאת על יום אחר׃

9 על כן נשארה עוד מנוחת שבת לעם אלהים׃

10 כי הבא אל מנוחתו גם הוא שבת ממלאכתו כמו האלהים משלו׃

11 לכן נשקדה נא לבוא אל המנוחה ההיא למען אשר לא יכשל איש והיה ממרה כמוהם׃

12 כי דבר האלהים חי הוא ופעל גבורות וחד מחרב פיפיות ונכנס עד להבדיל בין נפש לרוח ובין הדבקים למוח ובחן מחשבות לבב ומזמותיו׃

13 ואין כל נברא נסתר מנגדו כי הכל חשוף וגלוי לעיני בעל דברים שלנו׃

14 ועתה בהיות לנו כהן ראש גדול אשר עבר בשמים הוא ישוע בן האלהים נחזיקה בהודאתנו׃

15 כי אין לנו כהן גדול אשר לא יוכל להצטער על חליינו כי אם המנסה בכל כמונו אך בלי חטא׃

16 על כן נקרבה בבטחון אל כסא החסד לשאת רחמים ולמצא חסד לעזרה בעתה׃

English:

"Promised Rest for God’s People

God’s promise of entering his rest still stands, so we ought to tremble with fear that some of you might fail to experience it. For this good news—that God has prepared this rest—has been announced to us just as it was to them. But it did them no good because they didn’t share the faith of those who listened to God. For only we who believe can enter his rest. As for the others, God said,

“In my anger I took an oath:

‘They will never enter my place of rest,’”

even though this rest has been ready since he made the world. We know it is ready because of the place in the Scriptures where it mentions the seventh day: “On the seventh day God rested from all his work.” But in the other passage God said, “They will never enter my place of rest.”

So God’s rest is there for people to enter, but those who first heard this good news failed to enter because they disobeyed God. So God set another time for entering his rest, and that time is today. God announced this through David much later in the words already quoted:

“Today when you hear his voice,

don’t harden your hearts.”

Now if Joshua had succeeded in giving them this rest, God would not have spoken about another day of rest still to come. So there is a special rest still waiting for the people of God. 10 For all who have entered into God’s rest have rested from their labors, just as God did after creating the world. So let us do our best to enter that rest. But if we disobey God, as the people of Israel did, we will fall.

For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes, and he is the one to whom we are accountable.

Christ Is Our High Priest

So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe. This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin. So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most."

Hebrews 3: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews!!

1 לכן אחי הקדושים חברים לקריאה של מעלה הביטו אל השליח וכהן הודיתנו הגדול אל המשיח ישוע׃

2 אשר הוא נאמן לעשהו כמו גם משה בכל ביתו׃

3 כי כבוד גדול ממשה נחל זה כאשר בנה הבית חשוב יותר מן הבית׃

4 כי כל בית יש לו בנה אבל בונה כל הוא האלהים׃

5 והן משה נאמן בכל ביתו כעבד לעדות העמדות להאמר׃

6 אבל המשיח הוא הבן על ביתו ואנחנו ביתו אם נחזיק בבטחון ובתהלת התקוה ולא נרפנה עד הקץ׃

7 לכן כמאמר רוח הקדש היום אם בקלו תשמעו׃

8 אל תקשו לבבכם כמריבה כיום מסה במדבר׃

9 אשר נסוני אבותיכם בחנוני גם ראו פעלי ארבעים שנה׃

10 לכן אקוט בדור ואמר עם תעי לבב הם והם לא ידעו דרכי׃

11 אשר נשבעתי באפי אם יבאון אל מנוחתי׃

12 ראו עתה אחי פן יש באחד מכם לב רע וחסר אמונה לסור מאלהים חיים׃

13 אך הוכח תוכיחו איש את רעהו יום יום עד שיקרא היום למען אשר לא יקשה איש מכם את לבו במדוחי פשע׃

14 כי נתחברנו למשיח אם נחזיק בראשית הבטחה ולא נרפנה עד הקץ׃

15 כאשר נאמר היום אם בקלו תשמעו אל תקשו לבבכם כמריבה׃

16 מי אפוא אלה אשר שמעו ויריבו הלא כל יצאי מצרים ביד משה׃

17 ובמי התקוטט ארבעים שנה הלא בחטאים אשר נפלו פגריהם במדבר׃

18 ולמי נשבע לבלתי בא אל מנוחתו אם לא לסוררים׃

19 ואנחנו ראים כי לא יכלו לבוא על אשר לא האמינו׃

English:

"Jesus Greater Than Moses

Therefore, holy brothers and sisters, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, whom we acknowledge as our apostle and high priest. He was faithful to the one who appointed him, just as Moses was faithful in all God’s house. Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. “Moses was faithful as a servant in all God’s house,” bearing witness to what would be spoken by God in the future. But Christ is faithful as the Son over God’s house. And we are his house, if indeed we hold firmly to our confidence and the hope in which we glory.

Warning Against Unbelief

So, as the Holy Spirit says:

“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion, during the time of testing in the wilderness, where your ancestors tested and tried me, though for forty years they saw what I did. That is why I was angry with that generation; I said, ‘Their hearts are always going astray, and they have not known my ways.’ So I declared on oath in my anger, ‘They shall never enter my rest.’ ”

See to it, brothers and sisters, that none of you has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God. But encourage one another daily, as long as it is called “Today,” so that none of you may be hardened by sin’s deceitfulness. We have come to share in Christ, if indeed we hold our original conviction firmly to the very end. As has just been said:

“Today, if you hear his voice, do not harden your hearts as you did in the rebellion.”

Who were they who heard and rebelled? Were they not all those Moses led out of Egypt? And with whom was he angry for forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose bodies perished in the wilderness? And to whom did God swear that they would never enter his rest if not to those who disobeyed? So we see that they were not able to enter, because of their unbelief."

Focus and Keep your eyes on Jesus!!

The benefits of being Born Again!!

Because you have given your life to Jesus, God the Father, Jesus the Son and the Holy Spirit is living inside of you. You are totally different from the world. You walk, talk and act differently than the world. You walk in the Light. The world walks in the darkness. You will have no fear because He who is greater than the world is living inside of you. 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." Because of the Spirit in you, you will have the fruit of the Spirit. Galatians 5:22-23: "But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!" There will always be hope. Never give up, attitude. The world may give up but as for a Born Again Believer there is always hope. We walk with joy and peace. The peace Jesus gave us, the world doesn't know. John 14:27: “I am leaving you with a gift—peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give. So don’t be troubled or afraid." No matter what goes on around us, as a Born Again Believer we have peace, joy, love, hope. Remember that Jesus has overcome. We have the victory. John 16:33: " “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” As a Born Again Believer you can walk with love, peace joy, hope, no fear and no worries. Hebrews 13:5-6: "because God has said, “Never will I leave you; never will I forsake you.” So we say with confidence, “The Lord is my helper; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” He is always on your side. Accept Jesus today in your life and you will see a total different lifestyle. Your worldly lifestyle will turn into a Godly lifestyle. And all the promises of God are for you.

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:

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!!

Hebrews:

הפרק 2

לכן אנחנו חיבים ביותר להכין לבבנו אל אשר שמענו פן ילוז ויאבד ממנו׃

2 כי אם הדבר הנאמר על ידי המלאכים היה קים וכל פשע ומרי נשא את ענשו כמשפט׃

3 איך נמלט אנחנו אם לא נשים לב לתשועה גדולה אשר כזאת הנאמרה מתחלה בפי האדון ותקים לנו על ידי שמעיה׃

4 וגם אלהים העיד עליה באתות ובמופתים ובגבורות שנות ובהאציל מרוח קדשו כרצונו׃

5 כי לא תחת יד המלאכים שת את העולם הבא אשר אנחנו מדברים עליו׃

6 כי אם כאשר העיד האמר במקום אחד מה אנוש כי תזכרנו ובן אדם כי תפקדנו׃

7 ותחסרהו מעט מאלהים וכבוד והדר תעטרהו ותמשילהו במעשי ידיך׃

8 כל שתה תחת רגליו הנה באשר שת כל תחתיו לא השאיר דבר שלא שת תחתיו ועתה זה לא ראינו עדין כי כל הושת תחתיו׃

9 אבל ישוע המחסר מעט ממלאכים אותו ראינו מעטר בכבוד והדר מפני ענותו עד מות למען אשר יטעם בחסד אלהים את המות בעד כלם׃

10 כי נאה היה לו אשר הכל למענו והכל על ידו בהנחתו בנים רבים לכבוד להשלים בענוים את שר ישועתם׃

11 כי גם המקדש גם המקדשים כלם מאחד המה ועל כן לא בוש מקרא להם אחים׃

12 באמרו אספרה שמך לאחי בתוך קהל אהללך׃

13 ועוד וקויתי לו ועוד הנה אנכי והילדים אשר נתן לי יהוה׃

14 ויען כי הילדים כלם יחדו בשר ודם אף הוא לבש בשר ודם כמוהם למען אשר יבטל על ידי המות את אשר לו ממשלת המות הוא השטן׃

15 ולהתיר את אלה אשר מאימת המות היו נתנים לעבדות כל ימי חייהם׃

16 כי אמנם לא במלאכים החזיק כי אם בזרע אברהם החזיק׃

17 על כן היה עליו להדמות לאחיו בכל דבר למען אשר יהיה כהן גדול רחמן ונאמן בעניני אלהים לכפר על חטאת העם׃

18 כי באשר הוא בעצמו ענה ונתנסה יכל לעזר את המנסים׃

English:

"A Warning against Drifting Away

So we must listen very carefully to the truth we have heard, or we may drift away from it. For the message God delivered through angels has always stood firm, and every violation of the law and every act of disobedience was punished. So what makes us think we can escape if we ignore this great salvation that was first announced by the Lord Jesus himself and then delivered to us by those who heard him speak? And God confirmed the message by giving signs and wonders and various miracles and gifts of the Holy Spirit whenever he chose.

Jesus, the Man

And furthermore, it is not angels who will control the future world we are talking about. For in one place the Scriptures say,

“What are mere mortals that you should think about them,

or a son of man that you should care for him?

Yet for a little while you made them a little lower than the angels

and crowned them with glory and honor.

You gave them authority over all things.”

Now when it says “all things,” it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority. What we do see is Jesus, who for a little while was given a position “a little lower than the angels”; and because he suffered death for us, he is now “crowned with glory and honor.” Yes, by God’s grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone. God, for whom and through whom everything was made, chose to bring many children into glory. And it was only right that he should make Jesus, through his suffering, a perfect leader, fit to bring them into their salvation.

So now Jesus and the ones he makes holy have the same Father. That is why Jesus is not ashamed to call them his brothers and sisters. For he said to God,

“I will proclaim your name to my brothers and sisters.

I will praise you among your assembled people.”

He also said,

“I will put my trust in him,”

that is, “I and the children God has given me.”

Because God’s children are human beings—made of flesh and blood—the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying could he break the power of the devil, who had the power of death. Only in this way could he set free all who have lived their lives as slaves to the fear of dying.

We also know that the Son did not come to help angels; he came to help the descendants of Abraham. Therefore, it was necessary for him to be made in every respect like us, his brothers and sisters, so that he could be our merciful and faithful High Priest before God. Then he could offer a sacrifice that would take away the sins of the people. 18 Since he himself has gone through suffering and testing, he is able to help us when we are being tested."

Romans 13: Hebrews and English:

Hebrews:

הפרק 13

כל נפש תכנע לגדלת הרשיות כי אין רשות כי אם מאת האלהים והרשיות הנמצאות על יד אלהים נתמנו׃

2 לכן כל המתקומם לרשות מרד הוא בצווי האלהים והמרדים ישאו את דינם׃

3 כי השליטים אינם לפחד למעשים הטובים כי אם להרעים ועל כן אם רצונך שלא תירא מן הרשות עשה הטוב והיה לך שבח ממנה׃

4 כי משמשת אלהים היא לטוב לך אך אם הרע תעשה ירא כי לא לחנם חגרת חרב היא כי משמשת אלהים היא נקמת בקצף מכל עשה הרע׃

5 על כן עלינו להכנע לא לבד בעבור הקצף כי גם בעבור דעת חובתנו׃

6 כי לזאת אף משלמים אתם את המס כי משרתי אלהים המה השקדים על זאת׃

7 לכן תנו לכל איש כחובתכם המס לאשר לו המס המכס לאשר לו המכס והמורא לאשר לו המורא והכבוד לאשר לו הכבוד׃

8 ואל תהיו חיבים לאיש דבר זולתי אהבת איש את רעהו כי האהב את חברו קים את התורה׃

9 כי מצות לא תנאף לא תרצח לא תגנב לא תענה עד שקר לא תחמד ועוד כאלה כלולות הנה במאמר הזה ואהבת לרעך כמוך׃

10 האהבה לא תרע לרע על כן האהבה קיום התורה כלה׃

11 וכזאת עשו מדעתכם את הזמן כי כבר הגיעה השעה להקיץ מן השנה כי ישועתנו קרובה עתה מהיום אשר באנו להאמין׃

12 הלילה חלף והיום קרב לכן נסירה נא את מעשי החשך ונלבשה את כלי נשק האור׃

13 וכמו ביום נתהלכה בצניעות לא בזוללות ובשכרון ולא בבעילות ועשות זמה ולא במריבה וקנאה׃

14 כי אם לבשו את האדון ישוע המשיח ודאגו לבשרכם אך לא להגביר התאות׃

English:

"Respect for Authority

Everyone must submit to governing authorities. For all authority comes from God, and those in positions of authority have been placed there by God. So anyone who rebels against authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and they will be punished. For the authorities do not strike fear in people who are doing right, but in those who are doing wrong. Would you like to live without fear of the authorities? Do what is right, and they will honor you. The authorities are God’s servants, sent for your good. But if you are doing wrong, of course you should be afraid, for they have the power to punish you. They are God’s servants, sent for the very purpose of punishing those who do what is wrong. So you must submit to them, not only to avoid punishment, but also to keep a clear conscience.

Pay your taxes, too, for these same reasons. For government workers need to be paid. They are serving God in what they do. Give to everyone what you owe them: Pay your taxes and government fees to those who collect them, and give respect and honor to those who are in authority.

Love Fulfills God’s Requirements

Owe nothing to anyone—except for your obligation to love one another. If you love your neighbor, you will fulfill the requirements of God’s law. For the commandments say, “You must not commit adultery. You must not murder. You must not steal. You must not covet. These—and other such commandments—are summed up in this one commandment: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to others, so love fulfills the requirements of God’s law.

This is all the more urgent, for you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for our salvation is nearer now than when we first believed. The night is almost gone; the day of salvation will soon be here. So remove your dark deeds like dirty clothes, and put on the shining armor of right living. Because we belong to the day, we must live decent lives for all to see. Don’t participate in the darkness of wild parties and drunkenness, or in sexual promiscuity and immoral living, or in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, clothe yourself with the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. And don’t let yourself think about ways to indulge your evil desires."

Focus on the Word of God!

It is very important today that we draw closer to God. With all the negative things that are going on around us, you will easily get distracted. The Word of God must become a lifestyle in our lives. Joshua 1:8: "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." God's Word is a weapon. It is the sword of God's armour. You never let your sword down when you are in a battle. God's Word is more powerful than any other weapons made by men. Hebrews 4:12: " For the word of God is alive and powerful. It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow. It exposes our innermost thoughts and desires. " It is of utmost importance to focus on the Word of God. Speak the Word of God, meditate on the Word of God day and night. Become a doer of the Word and not only a hearer. James 1:22: " But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves." By doing it, you will see a change in your lifestyle. You will act differently, you will cut out all the negative voices around you. The Word of God will help you in every situation you face. No circumstance will be too difficult for you to handle when you keep your eyes on the Word of God. Spend time in God's Word. When the devil tries to steal your peace or throws negative circumstances at you, say to him, like Jesus did in Matthew 4:4: "It is written" And start speaking Scriptures. Start laughing at the devil. God's Word is more powerful than the devil, it is alive and active.
