“ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED? NOT SO”

Jer 44:16-19

16 As for the word that thou hast spoken unto us in the name of the LORD, we will not hearken unto thee.

17 But we will certainly do whatsoever thing goeth forth out of our own mouth, to burn incense unto the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, as we have done, we, and our fathers, our kings, and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem: for then had we plenty of victuals, and were well, and saw no evil.

18 But since we left off to burn incense to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword and by the famine.

19 And when we burned incense to the queen of heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did we make her cakes to worship her, and pour out drink offerings unto her, without our men? KJV

The queen of heaven’s other names are : Isis, Diana Acts 19:24, Ashtoreth, Ashtarte, Venus, the cakes baked to her are now ‘the sweet cakes of fat Tuesday during Lent, and the hot cross buns on Christmas time. “The world is already deceived”

This is where the world got Easter from. While in Uganda one year, I read a newspaper article about a woman who made a sacrifice to the moon god, because her crops were bad.

The Hebrews broke the covenant by worshipping the moon god, the queen of heaven. (ADONIM) “Who is YHWH the blesser of His people in Covenant relationship, when they stayed in covenant, their crops were blessed.

Gen 12:1 Now the LORD (now YHWH the God of glory, said get out of idolatry and I will be your blesser. This is the first verbal covenant or agreement)

Genesis 12:1-3

Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee:

2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing:

3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. KJV

Acts 7:1-4

1 Then said the high priest, Are these things so?

2 And he said, Men, brethren, and fathers, hearken; The God of glory appeared unto our father Abraham, when he was in Mesopotamia, before he dwelt in Charran,

3 And said unto him, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and come into the land which I shall shew thee.

4 Then came he out of the land of the Chaldaeans, and dwelt in Charran: and from thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land, wherein ye now dwell. KJV

Rev 18:4 “come out of her my born again people” add blood Covenant to our relationship, as Paul said be strong in Faith, in a blood Covenant with me YHWH. Abraham was strong in my word spoken to him, TOTAL TRUST, TOTAL FAITH, TOTAL BELIEF, Abraham believed me and it was counted to him for righteousness.

Rev 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. KJV

In a blood covenant with YHWH, the coronavirus cannot touch you. The 4th of this month, I heard of a brother in Christ who went to another Nation and was preaching.

Christians would not get the virus, he got the coronavirus and they put him in jail, pray for healing for our brother.

When did he get out of our pagan holidays and enter into a blood covenant with YHWH?

John 1:29.  The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. KJV

Rom 10:9

9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. KJV

Meaning “if you make a blood covenant with your mouth and believe in all the report in Isaiah 53, you will be save i.e. delivered or protected, (literally or figuratively) healed, preserved, save self, do well, be made whole”.; no plague will touch you.

Ps 91:10 There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling. KJV

Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. KJV.

Few people truly understand the full meaning of the salvation they receive when they accept the Lord Jesus Christ as their savior.  They never realize that they are missing the greater portion of the birthright; they do not understand the covenant of salvation that they are offered through the blood of Christ—often because it is misrepresented, distorted, or simply not taught.  They lack understanding of a covenant-keeping God who wants them to be made whole, delivered, or protected, literally or figuratively, to be healed, preserved, save self, and do well.  You should be healed when your sins are forgiven. The problem frequently begins even before a person accepts Christ.  It is not uncommon for ministers to offer the following invitation to receive the Lord Jesus as Savior:

Scripturally, there are serious problems with this approach.  It does not teach believers to see salvation in Jesus the way God ordained it; this approach only provides them with “fire insurance”.  Romans 10:9-10 reads, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.  For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” A closer look at key words in this passage makes it clear that God offers more than fire insurance.  The work “confess” means to assent to covenant or acknowledge.  Jesus (Iesous in Greek and Yeshuwah in Hebrew) means the salvation of Jehovah or Jehovah the Savior.  The word “save” is sozo, which means “to be made whole, delivered or protected literally or figuratively, healed, preserved, save self, do well.”  So, when one confesses or assents to covenant with Jesus, the Covenant Lamb (the salvation of Jehovah), one has come into agreement with Jehovah, the Covenant-keeping God, for Him to be your rescue or safety, (physically or morally), deliverance, health, save saving. Confession has been preached without giving the real understanding behind it.  This has caused most Christians to be robbed of a binding blood contract or covenant with God Almighty through the blood of Jesus Christ.  They miss out on all that God is and wants to be to them—their complete salvation (rescue or safety, physically or morally). Webster’s Dictionary defines covenant as “a formal, solemn and binding agreement.”

Making It Plain

Romans 10:9    If thou shalt make a covenant with your mouth – (a verbal binding agreement)

The Lord Jesus -The Master, the Covenant Lamb of the All Mighty God, who is the rescue or safety, physically or morally, deliverance, saving health, save (make whole) saving, of Jehovah or Jehovah the Savior

And shalt believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, thou shalt—be made whole, delivered, or protected, literally or figuratively, healed, preserved, save self, do well.

Romans 10:10

For with the heart man believes unto righteousness—believes all that is written in Isaiah 53

And with the mouth confession—covenant, an agreement

Is made unto—rescue or safety (physically or morally), deliverance, health, save, saving (daily living by the Covenant-keeping God’s saving grace).  The Greek word for saving is peripoiesis, which means preservation of a purchased possession.  We are purchased by the blood of the Lamb of Jehovah.

Saviour:  (Hebrew) YASHA: means to be open, wide or free (i.e.: by implying to be safe; the causative means to be free or succor;  succor means to run to; defend, deliver, e.g. help, preserve life, rescue, be safe, bring (having) salvation, save (-ior), get victory.  It is translated salvation, save, savior in Isaiah 62:11, 12; Zechariah 9.9; Ezekiel 38:29 (25-29).

Soul:   the Greek work (psuche).  That same Greek word is translated 105 times in the New Covenant (New Testament): translated as “soul” (58 times) ; “life” (40 times); “mind”  (three times), “heart, heartily, us, you” (one time); “souls were saved by water”—(total person —eight times ), as in I Peter 3:20; the man with the withered hand in Luke 6:6, 8; life or soul was made whole, sins forgiven, body healed.

Jesus was put to death to bear the sin curse of this world.  We enter into the New Covenant by the blood of Jesus Christ.  The blessings and curse of scripture are found in Deuteronomy 28.  God said that as long as His people (who verbally agreed to the blood covenant by the blood of bulls and goats) walked in covenant with Him, He would not permit the sickness and disease and the calamity of the sin-cursed world to come on them.  If they broke the blood covenant, they broke their protection or covering from God.  Galatians 3:13-14 reads, “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is everyone that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”  Deuteronomy 28:61 informs us to be redeemed from every sickness and plague. In Acts 2:38 Peter preached to Jews who understood the meaning of covenant, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”  Even today, we Gentiles receive this scripture without first understanding that the Lord Jesus Christ is now the covenant Lamb.  We are seldom taught that we should verbally assent or agree to Almighty God’s kind of salvation (rescue or safety, physically or morally) found in Isaiah 53 and made plain in Galatians 3:13.  Finally, we do not understand what the Lord Jesus has redeemed us from (Deuteronomy 28) before we turned from our sins to the living God.  By His blood we enter into contract or covenant with the Almighty God to be made whole (saved).  Romans 10:10 reads, “For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession (contract or covenant) is made unto salvation.”  (Rescue or safety, physically or morally; deliverance; saving health; save [make whole]; saving.) To the Jews that Peter preached to, Jesus was a stumbling block.  No other nation had a covenant or contract with Almighty God for salvation (Yeshuwah: deliverance, aid, victory, prosperity, health, help, save [make whole], saving preservation of health, welfare).  The Jews of that day understood that when the Ark of the Covenant was with them and they were in the right covenant with God, they would live under covenant blessings.  They would be victorious in battle, the sickness and disease of the world would not affect them, and they would be financially prosperous.  It also meant that their land would be healed of any plagues (even their animals would be healed) and their kingdom would be restored to them.  That is the understanding they had.  That is also the understanding that Gentile Christians have missed.  For the Jews of Jesus’ time, when they believed Jesus to be their Lamb of God, everything else fell into place—their history with a covenant-keeping God, their understanding of covenant, and the benefits of keeping covenant with Almighty God. By contrast, in Romans 10:9, Paul preached to the Gentiles, an uncovenanted people or a godless-people, with no history of covenant with God.  Paul had to preach covenant:  “That if thou shalt covenant with thy mouth, thou shall be made whole (delivered, protected literally or figuratively, healed, preserved, safe self, do well) by the Word.”
