Upgrading - living between heaven and hellPaulo Rabello
This document discusses living as a Christian between heaven and hell. It covers five main points: 1) Christians are chosen by God, 2) they have a mission to spread the gospel, 3) they are not alone as God is with them, 4) their lives should be about glorifying God, and 5) they must know their enemy Satan and have the full armor of God. The document also discusses the biblical examples of Enoch and his close walk with God, preaching righteousness, and ultimate translation to heaven without tasting death.
This document discusses the biblical concept of death, the afterlife, and resurrection based on numerous passages from the Bible. The key points are:
1) Many Bible passages discuss what happens to humans after death, with some indicating the dead know nothing and others that believers will be resurrected.
2) Jesus performed miracles like raising Lazarus from the dead to demonstrate his power over death. He promised believers would have eternal life.
3) At the end times, Christians believe the dead will be resurrected - those who did good works to eternal life and those who sinned to judgment. There will be no more death or suffering once God creates a new heaven and earth.

The document discusses what brings pleasure to God and causes him to smile. It argues that having a loving relationship with God through trusting and obeying him brings him joy. Noah is cited as someone who walked with God and was righteous. Quotes from scripture emphasize having a close relationship with God rather than sacrifices, and that obeying God even without understanding is pleasing to him. Serving God is also mentioned as something that would make him smile.
God's love for his people draws from his own character rather than any merit in those he loves. Though Israel had sinned greatly, God could not give them up and continued to show them compassion. Their greatest need was for their waywardness to be fixed, which could only be accomplished by God. The document encourages returning to God in repentance, renouncing other gods, and trusting that God alone can heal and bless his people.
This document contains a sermon about learning from the past, living in the present, and longing for the future promised by God. It discusses how Christians should learn from the mistakes and successes of past generations to avoid repeating errors. It emphasizes the importance of living fully in the present and allowing God to continue transforming us daily. It also expresses a hope for the future promised rest that God has prepared for those who obey Him. The sermon encourages examining one's own spiritual development and ensuring one's eternity is secure through obeying the gospel of Christ.
This document contains information about an upcoming sermon series on the end times beginning tonight at 8PM on the History Channel. It includes several Bible passages about the rapture and second coming of Christ. The series by Pastor Todd Foster will focus on the signs of the end times based on the work of prophecy scholar Mark Hitchcock, including the regathering of Jews in Israel, a surge in apostasy, efforts for peace in the Middle East, a reunited Roman Empire, and a move toward globalism. It encourages believers not to miss understanding these important biblical truths.
Joseph is falsely imprisoned for many years but remains faithful to God. While in prison, God gives Joseph favor with the prison warden and puts him in charge. Joseph interprets dreams of fellow prisoners, which are later fulfilled. He asks to be remembered by the chief cupbearer, who later introduces Joseph to Pharaoh when he is released from prison after two years. The sermon discusses how Joseph was able to endure his dark times through trusting God, defining success through glorifying Him, and finding hope in God's promises. Christians are called to redefine success as serving God and others, and to trust God even when His plans are unclear.

This document outlines "The Four Last Things" - Death, Judgment, Heaven, and Hell. It provides details on each:
Death is inevitable for all and is a consequence of original sin. Judgment consists of the Particular Judgment that occurs after death and the General Judgment that will happen at the end of the world. Hell is a place of eternal punishment involving separation from God and fire, with degrees of punishment corresponding to one's sins. Heaven involves the direct vision of God and degrees of happiness corresponding to one's holiness on Earth. Purgatory is described as a temporary place for purification for those not fully cleansed of sin.
The document contains lyrics from the song "The Impossible Dream" that list aspirations such as dreaming impossible dreams, fighting unbeatable foes, and bearing unbearable sorrow. The document also includes Bible verses about God being able to do exceedingly abundantly above all we can ask or think, and that with God all things are possible. It discusses pursuing dreams and never giving up hope even when facing difficulties or exhaustion.
Sadness and sorrow are inexorably woven in the fabric of life. We cannot escape loss. So, how can grief be good? How can we look as "loss" as possible "gain"?
1. The document is a presentation about Jesus of Nazareth that discusses his identity, teachings, and resurrection.
2. It argues that plotting to kill Jesus was a "grave mistake" because he had demonstrated power over death by raising others from the dead and said "I am the resurrection and the life."
3. On the third day after Jesus' crucifixion, the angels announced that he had risen from the dead, showing that the attempt to eliminate him through death failed because he conquered death.
Jesus originally clothed Adam and Eve with a "garment of light" in Eden, but sin resulted in its loss. As a "garment worker," Jesus works to restore this garment through his life, death, and resurrection. He offers believers a new "garment of righteousness" and invites them to accept this gift so they may be transformed and shine with his glory.
The document discusses how God knows and cares for his people. It provides several Bible passages that show God promised to be known by his people and to forgive their sins. God formed people in the womb and knows them intimately. Jesus understands human weaknesses because he experienced temptation. God is always present and knows people's thoughts and ways. He has chosen and ordained the days of people's lives since before creation. God's thoughts for his people are vast in number.
Mainstream christian theology seems to support ideas about death and resurrection that are remarkably similar to those of ancient Greek and other middle eastern pagan philosophies. This seems to be at odds with what the protestant cannon represents about the issue.
This slide is a summary overview of what judeo-christian texts highlight about the issue.
The document provides an overview of the structure and symbols in the book of Revelation. It begins by noting that Revelation must be studied alongside the Old Testament for its symbols to make sense. It then outlines the historical and eschatological sections of both Daniel and Revelation, and notes Revelation includes an extra chapter as a bridge. The document explains how John was shown Heavenly truths through symbols from the earthly sanctuary, and it identifies the sanctuary furniture that represents different aspects of Jesus' redemptive work. Finally, it emphasizes that while some symbols may be difficult to explain, diligent study of Revelation will lead to understanding and blessing.
This document contains short excerpts from various books in the Bible on a variety of spiritual topics such as faith, righteousness, forgiveness of sins, contentment, overcoming tribulation, and taking refuge in God. The excerpts provide guidance on living according to biblical principles through challenging times.
The document discusses the importance of regular prayer. The main idea is that God hears from us and responds when we pray regularly. It provides several Bible verses supporting this, such as that God is near to all who call on him in truth, and that the prayer of a righteous person has great power. The document encourages developing a prayer life and joining a prayer group.
God's back road of heartache can be excruciatingly painful. Sometimes is involves human betrayal, lying, deception, rejection or even being replaced. Yet, God can use even this pain redemptively. We'll look at a woman who had failed in five marriages, yet found the love and acceptance her heart had always craved.
This document provides guidance on prayer from various biblical passages and Christian thinkers. It begins by explaining that prayer is an intelligent conversation with God about mutual concerns, and that one's knowledge of God shapes the nature of prayer. It then focuses on Jesus' teaching on prayer from the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6. Key points include: praying in private rather than for show; not using empty phrases but acknowledging God already knows our needs; and addressing God as our Father who is loving, present, good, and holy. The document encourages starting prayer by focusing on God's character as revealed through Jesus.
1. The document discusses three key points:
- Care in the midst of chaos, referencing Jesus raising a 12-year old girl from the dead and not being deterred from helping even when told the girl had died.
- Compassion in the midst of catastrophe, referencing Jesus having compassion on a widow who had lost her only son and raising the son from the dead.
- Confrontation in the midst of crisis, referencing Jesus' anger and weeping at the death of his friend Lazarus before calling him out of the tomb.
A LASTING IMPRESSION
To each is given a moment,
a slice of time,
to be held forever,
and last for all time.
I put it in a safe,
within my heart's abode.
Where I can open it,
when I choose,
and only I, know the code.
Of all the moments given,
The only ones still living,
Are the impressions,
We’re still refreshing.

The document discusses Jesus' teachings about the Holy Spirit from the Gospel of John. It examines passages where Jesus promises that the Holy Spirit/Advocate will come after he departs, to guide the disciples into truth and remind them of Jesus' words. The document analyzes the roles and meanings of "Advocate," "Helper," and "Comforter." It also discusses how John depicts the coming of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost as Jesus breathing the Spirit onto the disciples, and the implications of this imagery.
How do I get a fresh start in life - Psalm 51Adrian Kerr
David committed adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband Uriah killed to cover it up. Psalm 51 reflects David's repentance and plea for forgiveness from God. He acknowledges sin is against God and begs for mercy, cleansing from sin, and a fresh start. Though we are born sinful, God offers forgiveness through Jesus and a new life for those who trust in him. Even failures can find restoration, as God loves to give people fresh starts.
GFEC - How do I get a fresh start in life - Psalm 51Adrian Kerr
David committed adultery with Bathsheba and had her husband Uriah killed to cover it up. In Psalm 51, David acknowledges his sin against God and pleads for forgiveness. He recognizes that all sin is against God and that we are born with a sinful nature. David asks God to cleanse him from his sin, renew his spirit, and restore the joy of salvation, seeking a fresh start. The Bible says God forgives our sins through Jesus and gives us a new life, so that anyone can receive a fresh start, no matter their past.
The document discusses spiritual transformation and lying versus telling the truth. It presents biblical passages about deception from the books of Genesis, John, Acts, Colossians, and Matthew. It contrasts false narratives around lying with true narratives around telling the truth and honoring God. It suggests soul training exercises like going a day without speaking or going a day without lying to help change perspectives.
The document provides an analysis of Krystal Meyers' debut album. It examines the lyrics and music videos of her three leading singles - "Anti-Conformity", "Fire", and "My Savior" - and finds that none of them contain references to Jesus Christ or biblical messages, and the videos do not reflect Christian values or lifestyle. The document questions whether the music would bring non-believers closer to God or merely resembles secular rock songs.
The intense thought-from evil information steer up the evil feelings. Feelings rises and falls, but the stain it leaves in the mind is sin. It (stain or sin), transgress the law in the mind (Heb 8-10), benumb and blunted the reasoning ability in mind. Animal flesh eater, alcoholic-people who drink strong drinks, increases human feeling to higher capacity. If the thought imagined evil information, already attached stain, quickly steer up the animal feelings and leave the new additional stain in the mind. The stain (sin) become the kerosene, to steer it in continuous cycles till the wages for it, people find death.
THE SEAL OF GOD WILL HARDLY PLACE IN THE MIND OF FLESH EATER, PEOPLE WHO DRINK STRONG DRINK AND PEOPLE WHO ENTERTAINING THEIR MIND WITH ALL SORTS OF PLEASURES-MUSIC, VIDEOS, TV, ETC.; BECAUSE THESE ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTE TO RISE HUMAN DIRTY FEELING TO ITS HIGH RATE AND FASTENED IT HIGH IN THE MIND. IT WILL HARDLY REDUCE DOWN-UNLESS PERSON STOPS EATING MEAT, STRONG DRINK AND ENTERTAINING MIND WITH PLEASURES. THEREFORE, WITH SUCH MINDED PEOPLE, GOD WILL HARDLY PLACE HIS SEAL IN THEIR MIND.

The document describes a parameterized model of nested cylindrical magnets in CST Studio Suite 2014. Key parameters define the radii and height of the nested inner, middle, and outer magnets. Forces and torques are computed on the magnet groups at different angles of rotation. The inner magnet group exerts a force of around 5.9656e+005 N and torque of -9.4417e+008 Nm. The middle magnet group exerts a force of around 7.8166e+005 N and torque of +4.3287e+006 Nm.
This document discusses the importance and role of prophecy according to the Bible. It provides several reasons why studying prophecy is important:
1) Prophecy acts as a light that exposes darkness and false teachings, allowing believers to distinguish truth from lies.
2) Prophecy gives believers understanding of the times and what they ought to do, helping them navigate an increasingly deceptive world.
3) There is safety in obeying prophecy, as it warns believers of coming dangers and judgments, preparing them for what is to come.
The document examines several modern prophetic phenomena and argues that while some claims of prophecy, healing, and tongues may appear impressive, they do not stand up to biblical scrutiny and often
This document discusses the divinity of Christ based on biblical passages. It provides evidence from the Bible that Jesus is the Son of God. Peter confesses that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. When on trial, Jesus affirms to the high priest that he is the Son of God. The foundation of the Christian faith is Jesus Christ - no other foundation can be laid. It also explores the divinity of the Holy Spirit, discussing how the Spirit represents the invisible presence of God and is not a distinct being.
The document discusses the nature of the Holy Spirit according to Ellen White. It provides several quotes from Ellen White stating that the Holy Spirit is the personal presence of Christ, and that He represents Christ's presence. One quote specifies that the Holy Spirit is "Christ himself divested of the personality of humanity." The document emphasizes that Ellen White saw the Holy Spirit not as a separate being, but as Christ's own Spirit through which He represents Himself omnipresently.
This document contains a slide presentation about idolatry and false worship as discussed in the books of Ezekiel and Revelation. It explores how ancient pagan religions incorporated the Trinity concept and sun worship, and how this influenced the worship of Israel. Specific passages are presented from Ezekiel that describe idolatry in the temple through images, idolatrous objects, and sun worship. The presentation warns that merely having outward forms of worship without internal devotion can constitute idolatry.
The document discusses the Godhead according to the Bible. It summarizes that the Bible teaches there is one God, who is the Father of Jesus Christ. God begat Christ from eternity past, passing His life, character, glory, name, and Spirit to His only begotten Son. While Christ inherited full equality with God, He submitted to His Father. The Holy Spirit is defined as the very Spirit of God and Christ, and not a separate divine being.
Angels are divine beings that serve God and carry out his commands. They are not deceased humans, but were created separately before humans. While often depicted as cute or feminine, angels actually possess great power as agents of God. One angel destroyed Sennacherib's army and the firstborn of Egypt. Guardian angels protect believers. There is only one archangel mentioned in the Bible - Jesus Christ, who leads the angelic hosts and will raise the dead at his second coming.
This document provides scriptural evidence that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the one true God. It discusses passages that show Christ was begotten of the Father from the beginning, before the world was created. Christ himself declared he was equal with God, which is why the Jews wanted to kill him. The document emphasizes that true worshippers will worship only God the Father and Jesus Christ, as the one God.
The document provides a summary of the biblical prophecy in Daniel 8 regarding the sanctuary and powers symbolized by animals. It describes how the ram representing Medo-Persia gave way to the goat representing Greece. Greece was then divided into four kingdoms, with the little horn of Rome emerging and expanding horizontally across territories until the pagan Roman Empire fell. The power was then given to the papacy, fulfilling prophecies of exalting itself and casting down God's people and truth.
This document discusses the three angels' messages and the Godhead. It asserts that the Seventh-day Adventist church was raised up to preach the three angels' messages about worshipping the Creator, the fall of Babylon, and the mark of the beast. It contrasts the biblical teaching of three distinct persons in the Godhead with the erroneous Trinity doctrine. It encourages readers to choose whether they will follow the true God or false gods like the Trinity.
The document discusses the infiltration of the king of the North into the glorious land as described in Daniel 11:41. It argues that the glorious land refers to the Adventist movement worldwide, not just the Middle East. It provides historical context for Assyria's invasion of Judea as a type of the final conflict. It asserts that the sanctuary doctrine provides refuge from the king of the North for God's people, calling them to gather at the heavenly sanctuary during the antitypical day of atonement.
The document discusses the biblical teaching on the Holy Spirit. It begins by stating the fundamental beliefs of Seventh-day Adventists regarding the Trinity - that there is one God consisting of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It then provides several biblical quotes addressing the nature and personhood of the Holy Spirit. It aims to show from Scripture that the Holy Spirit is not just a force but is a divine person, equal to God, and sent by both the Father and the Son. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of remembering God's teachings in past history and maintaining foundational truths.
Sanctuary Presentation 6. The Priests Bells and Close of ProbationSami Wilberforce
The document discusses a revival week at Maseno University with the theme of "The Sanctuary". It provides biblical references to Psalms 77:13 and Exodus 28:33 regarding the bells on the high priest's garment. It describes a vision where the prophetess was taken to the most holy place and saw Jesus interceding for Israel with a bell and pomegranate on the bottom of His garment. It states that Jesus will not leave the sanctuary until the judgment is complete and the plagues will not be poured out until He finishes His work and takes off His priestly garments.
Many prominent Adventist figures throughout history have left the church, often due to doctrinal disagreements, loss of power or position within the church, or feelings of humiliation or mistreatment. Some key reasons for leaving included questioning beliefs such as the investigative judgment or Ellen White's prophetic role, rejecting the church organization structure, and tensions over issues like biblical interpretation, lifestyle choices, and cultural insensitivity. Studies also show that a significant percentage of those born into Adventism or converted as children will eventually leave the church.
01. Life Of Christ - (part 1) Did He Walk Among Us?Andres Pichinte
This is a series about the life of Christ in both History and also in Prophecy of the Old and New Testament. Part 1 (This Presentation) goes over the existence of Jesus Christ and it will have evidence by many Roman, Greek, Atheist, and Apologetic authors.
This Bible study delves into the afterlife and eternal future. Do you know what will happen when you die? The truth about heaven and hell? A detailed study of Scripture will reveal the truth.
The document discusses what happens after death based on passages from the Bible. It summarizes that:
1) The dead continue to exist, and are not in a state of "soul sleep" as some believe, as evidenced by passages like Luke 16 that describe the afterlife.
2) Everyone will spend eternity after death in either heaven or hell, and this eternal destination is unchanging once death occurs.
3) While the Bible does not give all details, it indicates that after death, one's condition and destination are fixed and unchangeable for everlasting punishment or reward. The document encourages preparing for eternity through faith in God during life when there is still opportunity.
This document discusses Christian beliefs about what happens after death. It describes heaven as our eternal home and explores concepts of resurrection, the afterlife, and heaven. The key points are:
1) Christians believe in bodily resurrection and that in heaven we will receive new, spiritual bodies that are perfected versions of our earthly bodies.
2) Some theories suggest heaven will be located on the renewed earth, combining a new heaven and resurrected earth, allowing people to live physically in God's presence.
3) The Bible's narrative is one of God redeeming his creation lost in the Fall, and restoring paradise through Christ's victory over sin and death. It depicts the arc from Genesis to
The document discusses what is known about heaven and hell from biblical passages. Heaven is described as a place of holiness, beauty, unity, perfection, joy and eternity. It will have no temple, sea, tears, sickness, pain, death, thirst, hunger, sin, judgment, sun or moon. In heaven, there will be singing, serving God, and learning new things. Regarding the resurrected body, it will be like Christ's, allow eating, be dominated by spirit, unlimited by time and space, eternal and glorious. Hell will involve unquenchable fire, memory, remorse, thirst, misery, frustration, and was created for Satan. The document seeks to address myths about heaven and
Jesus spoke seven phrases from the cross that conveyed important messages:
1) "Father, forgive them" - expressing forgiveness for those crucifying him.
2) "Today you will be with me in paradise" - offering hope of salvation to one of the criminals crucified with him.
3) Looking to his mother, Mary, and the disciple John, saying "Dear woman, here is your son" - showing care and provision for his family.
4) Crying out "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" - expressing the depths of loneliness and suffering he felt.
5) "I am thirsty" - continuing to experience human suffering and needs
This document is a sermon about the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. It discusses several Bible passages from the Gospels describing Jesus' resurrection and appearances to his disciples. It emphasizes that Jesus said he would not leave his followers as orphans, but would remain with them, and challenges the idea that Jesus will return in the future rather than having remained present since his resurrection. The sermon encourages living by the Spirit rather than the flesh, and trusting that through faith in Jesus, one can overcome death.
The document discusses the key teachings of Jesus around death and resurrection. It provides biblical quotes and context around the following key points:
1) Death is described as a sleep or state of unconsciousness until the resurrection. Jesus has power over death as shown by his resurrection of Lazarus.
2) Everyone will experience both death and resurrection - either to eternal life or eternal condemnation based on their faith in Jesus.
3) The resurrection is crucial because it is proof of eternal life and God's promise to overcome death through Jesus, though death seems a temporary victory.

This document discusses lifting the veil to reveal our true identity as Christ. It asserts that Christ is the antidote to our spiritual sickness of ignorance and mistaken identity. It uses the story of Lazarus being raised from the dead as a symbol of mankind being awakened from its sleeping sickness through Christ. It encourages readers to listen for the sound of the seventh trumpet, which represents a full revelation of our identity in Christ and freedom from religious concepts that veil the truth.
Lord's work through Jakob Lorber, containing a narration of the struggles, revelations and transformations affecting the catholic bishop Martin and other people around him, in the beyond; his spiritual ascension is directly linked to the recognition of Christ and the loving compensation of his wrong deeds during the earthly life.
This document discusses how Christ is the antidote to death and how God will inhabit the earth through a sanctified people. It explains that God put humanity in a "deep sleep" of ignorance due to lack of spiritual knowledge but that Christ calls us to "awake" and be restored to double our former Edenic state. It also discusses how Christ has the key to unlock spiritual knowledge and how true worshippers will worship God in spirit and truth.
This document discusses the rapture described in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. It notes that the rapture will involve:
1) A lifting up as believers will literally fly away to meet Jesus in the air.
2) A leaving as believers will depart this earth to be with the Lord forever, leaving behind sin and struggles.
3) A landing as every departure requires an arrival, and believers will arrive in heaven to receive new resurrected bodies and dwell with God eternally.
The Father conveyed a prophecy through a pastor to prepare the recipient for deeper spiritual experiences and a special assignment. The Father said He would hold the recipient close and they would have an intimate love story and relationship. The recipient would receive a powerful spiritual weapon to write a book conveying the Father's prophetic message to many people and nations, to prepare for His second coming. Within three days the recipient would enter fully into their calling and destination.
The document discusses the book of Revelation from the New Testament. It provides background information on the context, genre, symbols, and themes in Revelation. Some key points discussed include the apocalyptic genre of Revelation, its use of codes like numbers, colors, and animals to represent people and concepts, and different interpretive approaches like preterist, historicist, futurist, and idealist views. The document also notes challenges in interpreting Revelation and provides examples of past failed end times predictions.
The document discusses 6 popular views of what happens after death and the Christian view. The Christian view is that man has a body, soul, and spirit. When a person dies, their soul and spirit transition from the earthly body to an eternal state in either heaven or hell. The Bible teaches that believers will receive a glorified, immortal body and go to paradise to be with God, while unbelievers will go to hades or hell to face eternal torment and separation from God. One's destiny of eternity in heaven or hell is determined by whether they accept Jesus as their savior.
Jesus comforts his disciples about his impending departure by assuring them of heaven. He tells them that in heaven there are many dwelling places that he goes to prepare. Heaven is a real place where believers will go to be with Jesus. Although the disciples do not know where Jesus is going, he tells them that he is the way, the truth, and the life and that no one can go to the Father except through him. Jesus provides the exclusive path to heaven for all who believe in him.

It seems that current missionary work requires spending a lot of money, preparing a lot of materials, and traveling to far away places, so that it feels like missionary work. But what was the result they brought back? It's just a lot of photos of activities, fun eating, drinking and some playing games. And then we have to do the same thing next year, never ending. The church once mentioned that a certain missionary would go to the field where she used to work before the end of his life. It seemed that if she had not gone, no one would be willing to go. The reason why these missionary work is so difficult is that no one obeys God’s words, and the Bible is not the main content during missionary work, because in the eyes of those who do not obey God’s words, the Bible is just words and cannot be connected with life, so Reading out God's words is boring because it doesn't have any life experience, so it cannot be connected with human life. I will give a few examples in the hope that this situation can be changed. A375

For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which
are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not
prevent them which are asleep. For the Lord himself shall
descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the
archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ
shall rise first: Then we which are alive and remain shall be
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in

must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on
incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be
brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?”
• 1 Corinthians 15:51-55.
