Hebrews:
הפרק 10
ויקרא אליו את שנים עשר תלמידיו ויתן להם שלטן על רוחות הטמאה לגרשם ולרפוא כל חלי וכל מדוה׃
2 ואלה שמות שנים עשר השליחים הראשון שמעון הנקרא פטרוס ואנדרי אחיו יעקב בן זבדי ויוחנן אחיו׃
3 פילפוס ובר תלמי תומא ומתי המוכס יעקב בן חלפי ולבי המכנה תדי׃
4 שמעון הקני ויהודה איש קריות אשר גם מסר אתו׃
5 את שנים העשר האלה שלח ישוע ויצו אתם לאמר אל דרך הגוים אל תלכו ואל עיר השמרונים אל תבאו׃
6 כי אם לכו אל הצאן האבדות לבית ישראל׃
7 ובלכתכם קראו לאמר למכות השמים קרבה לבוא׃
8 רפאו את החולים טהרו את המצרעים הקימו את המתים ואת השדים גרשו חנם לקחתם חנם תתנו׃
9 לא תקחו זהב ולא כסף ולא נחשת בחגוריכם׃
10 ולא תרמיל לדרך ולא שתי כתנות ולא נעלים ולא מטה כי שוה הפעל די מחיתו׃
11 וכל עיר וכפר אשר תבאו שמה דרשו מי הוא הראוי לזה בתוכה ושם שבו עד כי תצאו׃
12 ובבואכם אל הבית שאלו לו לשלום׃
13 והיה אם ראוי הבית יבוא עליו שלומכם ואם איננו ראוי שלומכם אליכם ישוב׃
14 וכל אשר לא יקבל אתכם ולא ישמע לדבריכם צאו לכם מן הבית ההוא ומן העיר ההיא ונערו את עפר רגליכם׃
15 אמן אמר אני לכם כי יקל לארץ סדום ועמרה ביום הדין מן העיר ההיא׃
16 הנני שלח אתכם ככבשים בין הזאבים לכן היו ערומים כנחשים ותמימים כיונים׃
17 והשמרו לכם מבני האדם כי ימסרו אתכם לסנהדריות ויכו אתכם בשוטים בבתי כנסיותיהם׃
18 ולפני משלים ומלכים תובאו למעני לעדות להם ולגוים׃
19 וכי ימסרו אתכם אל תדאגו איך ומה תדברו כי ינתן לכם בשעה ההיא את אשר תדברו׃
20 כי לא אתם הם המדברים כי רוח אביכם הוא המדבר בפיכם׃
21 והיה אח ימסר את אחיו למות ואב ימסר את בנו וקמו בנים באבותם וימיתו אותם׃
22 והייתם שנואים לכל אדם למען שמי והמחכה עד עת קץ הוא יושע׃
23 ואם ירדפו אתכם בעיר אחת נוסו לעיר אחרת כי אמן אמר אני לכם לא תכלו לעבר ערי ישראל עד כי יבוא בן האדם׃
24 אין תלמיד עלה על רבו ועבד על אדניו׃
25 דיו לתלמיד להיות כרבו ולעבד להיות כאדניו אם לבעל הבית קראו בעל זבוב אף לאנשי ביתו׃
26 על כן לא תיראום כי אין דבר מכסה אשר לא יגלה ואין נעלם אשר לא יודע׃
27 את אשר אני אמר לכם בחשך דברו באור ואשר ילחש לאזניכם השמיעו על הגגות׃
28 ואל תיראי מן ההרגים את הגוף ואת הנפש לא יוכלו להרג אך תיראו את אשר יוכל לאבד גם את הנפש גם את הגוף בגיהנם׃
29 הלא תמכרנה שתי צפרים באסר ואחת מהנה לא תפול ארצה מבלעדי אביכם׃
30 ואתם גם שערות ראשכם נמנות כלן׃
31 לכן אל תיראו הנכם יקרים מצפרים רבות׃
32 הן כל אשר יודה בי לפני האדם אודה בו גם אני לפני אבי שבשמים׃
33 ואשר יכחש בי לפני האדם אכחש בו גם אני לפני אבי שבשמים׃
34 אל תחשבו כי באתי להטיל שלום בארץ לא באתי להטיל שלום כי אם חרב׃
35 כי באתי להפריד איש מאביו ובת מאמה וכלה מחמותה׃
36 ואיבי איש אנשי ביתו׃
37 האהב את אביו ואת אמו יותר ממני איננו כדי לי והאהב את בנו ובתו יותר ממני איננו כדי לי׃
38 ואשר לא יקח את צלבו והלך אחרי איננו כדי לי׃
39 המצא את נפשו יאבדנה והמאבד את נפשו למעני הוא ימצאנה׃
40 המקבל אתכם אותי הוא מקבל והמקבל אותי הוא מקבל את אשר שלחני׃
41 המקבל נביא לשם נביא שכר נביא יקח והמקבל צדיק לשם צדיק שכר צדיק יקח׃
42 והמשקה את אחד הקטנים האלה רק כוס מים קרים לשם תלמיד אמן אמר אני לכם כי לא יאבד שכרו׃
English:
"Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Apostles
Jesus called his twelve disciples together and gave them authority to cast out evil spirits and to heal every kind of disease and illness. Here are the names of the twelve apostles:
first, Simon (also called Peter),
then Andrew (Peter’s brother),
James (son of Zebedee),
John (James’s brother),
Philip,
Bartholomew,
Thomas,
Matthew (the tax collector),
James (son of Alphaeus),
Thaddaeus,
Simon (the zealot),
Judas Iscariot (who later betrayed him).
Jesus sent out the twelve apostles with these instructions: “Don’t go to the Gentiles or the Samaritans, but only to the people of Israel—God’s lost sheep. Go and announce to them that the Kingdom of Heaven is near. Heal the sick, raise the dead, cure those with leprosy, and cast out demons. Give as freely as you have received!
“Don’t take any money in your money belts—no gold, silver, or even copper coins. Don’t carry a traveler’s bag with a change of clothes and sandals or even a walking stick. Don’t hesitate to accept hospitality, because those who work deserve to be fed.
“Whenever you enter a city or village, search for a worthy person and stay in his home until you leave town. When you enter the home, give it your blessing. If it turns out to be a worthy home, let your blessing stand; if it is not, take back the blessing. If any household or town refuses to welcome you or listen to your message, shake its dust from your feet as you leave. I tell you the truth, the wicked cities of Sodom and Gomorrah will be better off than such a town on the judgment day.
“Look, I am sending you out as sheep among wolves. So be as shrewd as snakes and harmless as doves. But beware! For you will be handed over to the courts and will be flogged with whips in the synagogues. You will stand trial before governors and kings because you are my followers. But this will be your opportunity to tell the rulers and other unbelievers about me. When you are arrested, don’t worry about how to respond or what to say. God will give you the right words at the right time. For it is not you who will be speaking—it will be the Spirit of your Father speaking through you.
“A brother will betray his brother to death, a father will betray his own child, and children will rebel against their parents and cause them to be killed. And all nations will hate you because you are my followers. But everyone who endures to the end will be saved. When you are persecuted in one town, flee to the next. I tell you the truth, the Son of Man will return before you have reached all the towns of Israel.
“Students are not greater than their teacher, and slaves are not greater than their master. Students are to be like their teacher, and slaves are to be like their master. And since I, the master of the household, have been called the prince of demons, the members of my household will be called by even worse names!
“But don’t be afraid of those who threaten you. For the time is coming when everything that is covered will be revealed, and all that is secret will be made known to all. What I tell you now in the darkness, shout abroad when daybreak comes. What I whisper in your ear, shout from the housetops for all to hear!
“Don’t be afraid of those who want to kill your body; they cannot touch your soul. Fear only God, who can destroy both soul and body in hell. What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows.
“Everyone who acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But everyone who denies me here on earth, I will also deny before my Father in heaven.
“Don’t imagine that I came to bring peace to the earth! I came not to bring peace, but a sword.
‘I have come to set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. Your enemies will be right in your own household!’
“If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.
“Anyone who receives you receives me, and anyone who receives me receives the Father who sent me. If you receive a prophet as one who speaks for God, you will be given the same reward as a prophet. And if you receive righteous people because of their righteousness, you will be given a reward like theirs. And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.”
Verse of the day:
2 Timothy 1:9:
"For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus."
Scripture of the day:
1 John 4:
"On Denying the Incarnation
Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can recognize the Spirit of God: Every spirit that acknowledges that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, but every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have heard is coming and even now is already in the world.
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. They are from the world and therefore speak from the viewpoint of the world, and the world listens to them. We are from God, and whoever knows God listens to us; but whoever is not from God does not listen to us. This is how we recognize the Spirit of truth and the spirit of falsehood.
God’s Love and Ours
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in them. This is how love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister."

This I declare about the Lord:
He alone is my refuge, my place of safety;

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,
or 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."
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!!
Once you have prayed this prayer, and you have given your life to Jesus, please send me an email!

Repent and be baptised. Be Born Again!! 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!!
Born Again:
1. Repentance
2. Invite Jesus
3. Baptism
A changed New Life!!
1. Relationship with the Lord
2. New Person
3. New Lifestyle
4. Find the right church

6. Live the Word of God
To follow Jesus you must do whatever He ask you to do!! What are you willing to give up for Jesus?

Hebrews:
הפרק 4
אז נשא הרוח את ישוע המדברה למען ינסהו השטן׃
2 ויהי אחרי צומו ארבעים יום וארבעים לילה וירעב׃
3 ויגש אליו המנסה ויאמר אם בן האלהים אתה אמר לאבנים האלה ותהיין ללחם׃
4 ויען ויאמר הן כתוב לא על הלחם לבדו יחיה האדם כי על כל מוצא פי יי׃
5 וישאהו השטן אל עיר הקדש ויעמידהו על פנת בית המקדש׃
6 ויאמר אליו אם בן האלהים אתה התנפל למטה כי כתוב כי מלאכיו יצוה לך ועל כפים ישאונך פן תגף באבן רגלך׃
7 ויאמר אליו ישוע ועוד כתוב לא תנסה את יהוה אלהיך׃
8 ויוסף השטן וישאהו אל הר גבה מאד ויראהו את כל ממלכות תבל וכבודן׃
9 ויאמר אליו את כל זאת לך אתננה אם תקד ותשתחוה לי׃
10 ויאמר אליו ישוע סור ממני השטן כי כתוב ליהוה אלהיך תשתחוה ואותו לבדו תעבד׃
11 וירף ממנו השטן והנה נגשו אליו מלאכים וישרתוהו׃
12 ויהי כשמעו כי הסגירו את יוחנן וילך לו ארץ הגליל׃
13 ויעזב את נצרת ויבא וישב בכפר נחום אשר על שפת הים בגבול זבלון ונפתלי׃
14 למלאת הנאמר על פי ישעיהו הנביא לאמר׃
15 ארצה זבלון וארצה נפתלי דרך הים עבר הירדן גליל הגוים׃
16 העם ההלכים בחשך ראו אור גדול וישבי בארץ צלמות אור נגה עליהם׃
17 מן העת ההיא החל ישוע לקרא קרוא ואמור שובו כי הגיעה מלכות השמים׃
18 ויהי בהתהלכו על יד ים הגליל וירא שני אנשים אחים את שמעון הנקרא פטרוס ואת אנדרי אחיו והמה משליכים מצודה בים כי דיגים היו׃
19 ויאמר אליהם לכו אחרי ואשימכם לדיגי אנשים׃
20 ויעזבו מהרה את המכמרות וילכו אחריו׃
21 ויהי כעברו משם וירא שני אנשים אחים אחרים את יעקב בן זבדי ואת יוחנן אחיו באניה עם זבדי אביהם מתקנים את מכמרותם ויקרא אליהם׃
22 ויעזבו מיד את האניה ואת אביהם וילכו אחריו׃
23 ויסב ישוע בכל הגליל וילמד בבתי כנסיותיהם ויבשר בשורת המלכות וירפא כל מחלה וכל מדוה בעם׃
24 ויצא שמעו בכל ארץ סוריא ויביאו אליו את כל החולים המענים בכל חלים ומכאובים ואחוזי שדים ומכי ירח ונכי אברים וירפאם׃
25 וילכו אחריו המנים המנים מן הגליל ומן עשר הערים ומירושלים ויהודה ומעבר לירדן׃

"The Temptation of Jesus
Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted there by the devil. For forty days and forty nights he fasted and became very hungry.
During that time the devil came and said to him, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves of bread.”
But Jesus told him, “No! The Scriptures say,
‘People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ ”
Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the Temple, and said, “If you are the Son of God, jump off! For the Scriptures say,
‘He will order his angels to protect you. And they will hold you up with their hands so you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone.’ ”
Jesus responded, “The Scriptures also say, ‘You must not test the Lord your God.’ ”
Next the devil took him to the peak of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. “I will give it all to you,” he said, “if you will kneel down and worship me.”
“Get out of here, Satan,” Jesus told him. “For the Scriptures say,
‘You must worship the Lord your God and serve only him.’ ”
Then the devil went away, and angels came and took care of Jesus.
The Ministry of Jesus Begins
When Jesus heard that John had been arrested, he left Judea and returned to Galilee. He went first to Nazareth, then left there and moved to Capernaum, beside the Sea of Galilee, in the region of Zebulun and Naphtali. This fulfilled what God said through the prophet Isaiah:
“In the land of Zebulun and of Naphtali, beside the sea, beyond the Jordan River, in Galilee where so many Gentiles live, the people who sat in darkness have seen a great light.
And for those who lived in the land where death casts its shadow, a light has shined.”
From then on Jesus began to preach, “Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.”
The First Disciples
One day as Jesus was walking along the shore of the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers—Simon, also called Peter, and Andrew—throwing a net into the water, for they fished for a living. Jesus called out to them, “Come, follow me, and I will show you how to fish for people!” And they left their nets at once and followed him.
A little farther up the shore he saw two other brothers, James and John, sitting in a boat with their father, Zebedee, repairing their nets. And he called them to come, too. They immediately followed him, leaving the boat and their father behind.
Crowds Follow Jesus
Jesus traveled throughout the region of Galilee, teaching in the synagogues and announcing the Good News about the Kingdom. And he healed every kind of disease and illness. News about him spread as far as Syria, and people soon began bringing to him all who were sick. And whatever their sickness or disease, or if they were demon possessed or epileptic or paralyzed—he healed them all. Large crowds followed him wherever he went—people from Galilee, the Ten Towns, Jerusalem, from all over Judea, and from east of the Jordan River."
Verse of the day:
Romans 5:1-4:
"Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope."
Scripture of the day:
1 John 3:
"See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him. Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is. All who have this hope in him purify themselves, just as he is pure.
Everyone who sins breaks the law; in fact, sin is lawlessness. But you know that he appeared so that he might take away our sins. And in him is no sin. No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.
Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
More on Love and Hatred
For this is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother’s were righteous. Do not be surprised, my brothers and sisters, if the world hates you. We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love each other. Anyone who does not love remains in death. Anyone who hates a brother or sister is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life residing in him.
This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers and sisters. If anyone has material possessions and sees a brother or sister in need but has no pity on them, how can the love of God be in that person? Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth.
This is how we know that we belong to the truth and how we set our hearts at rest in his presence: If our hearts condemn us, we know that God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. Dear friends, if our hearts do not condemn us, we have confidence before God and receive from him anything we ask, because we keep his commands and do what pleases him. And this is his command: to believe in the name of his Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another as he commanded us. The one who keeps God’s commands lives in him, and he in them. And this is how we know that he lives in us: We know it by the Spirit he gave us."
