Examine Yourself to See if You are Truly Saved!!

I was not raised in a church that taught once saved always saved.  Therefore, the subject of eternal salvation has always been confusing.  This Blog was born out of a journey taken down the road of apostasy.  If you've read my first blogs, then you will know that God eventually confronted my husband and I with the truth of the various ministries we were following.  When confronted with biblical truths we ran as hard and as fast as we could away from everything in which we had been involved.  In fact, we were horrified and filled with remorse.  We felt that we had literally committed adultery and had betrayed our Lord and Savior.  It took us years to get over those feelings that we had betrayed Jesus.  We felt slimed.  Since then, we have been diligent to make sure we are not being deceived.  If someone states anything that we feel doesn't line up with God's Word - we go straight to God's Word and make a comparison.  If they fail the test, we no longer listen to them nor recommend them.

Wanting to clarify this issue of apostasy I did some research.  We have contended that those who have apostatized from the faith had never truly been saved.  The following article is a good explanation.  While the founder of this site has two naysayers against him, I believe this article to be a sound explanation.   The naysayers websites seemed dubious at best to me.  Do your due diligence.  Hope this helps you understand the crazy church world in which we find ourselves living here at the end of the age.

Don't be caught upside down and asleep when Jesus Shouts, when the Voice of the Arch Angel is heard and the Trumpet Sounds.

Entering the Gates and Courts of God

Image
Psalm 100 Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. 2 Serve the Lord with gladness: come before his presence with singing. 3 Know ye that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 4 Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. 5 For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. Where are the gates and courts of God? When I was a young woman we used to sing this Psalm during praise and worship. It was such a wonderful experience to sing God's word back to Him. So, all my life I thought that the gates and courts of God were in a heavenly place and that spiritually speaking I would enter to praise and make supplication/pray to God. Lately, though I have gotten into the habit of saying that 4th verse of the 100th Psalm before my personal devotions and prayer time. Then I begin to ponde

Pact with the Devil? Null and Void!! How?

Image
Have you made a pact with the Devil? Now you have decided you really don't want to forfeit your immortal soul for temporary things. The old adage you can't take it with you when you go has become up close and personal. The truth is you are an eternal being and no, you can't take it with you when you go. Maybe whatever it is you traded your soul for has turned to ash in your mouth and a burden on your existence. Perhaps you were convinced that there would never be a way out for you. There is a way out and that is the discussion of this blog. First, you must understand what you were dealing with when you made your pact. Satan or an agent of Satan, whether human or a non-human entity, would probably have been the conduit through which your pact was made. The Bible is very clear on one thing Satan is a liar. John 8:44 Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your fahter ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, be

What is in a name? "Twilight's" name game.

Everything! The meaning of my name truly personifies me. I always like to arrange the meanings of names into a cohesive thought which by neccessity sometimes takes the name out of it's given order. Fortunate but bitter rope that constrains would be the cohesive meaning for my given names but it is in reverse order with my surname, middle name and first name last. So what is in the name Edward Anthony Masen Cullen. Edward is translated rich guard and while there was no clear meaning for Anthony the best I could find was flourishing. Masen is another spelling for Mason which means stone worker. Masons are actually a society of people with esoteric practices known only to its members. The true meanings of those practices are known only to the highest of initiates. Masons could also be considered the architects then of not only the buildings they built but the symbols that are dispersed throughout those structures. Cullen was in and of itself an enigma with the meaning ranging
