Article 52 Once Saved Always Saved

ONCE SAVED ALWAYS SAVED? NOT SO CONTINUES…. ARTICLE 52 BY DAVID L MATTHEWS

Last week’s article began ‘(There will not be a rapture before the great Tribulation)’.

The word Tribulation comes from a word meaning Pressure, (literally or figuratively) :- afflicted (tion), anguish, burdened, persecution, tribulation, trouble.

There has been tribulation from the birth of our Salvation i.e Deliverance, Hence Aid, Victory, Prosperity; Deliverance, health, helping), salvation. Save, saving (health) until now, but not the great time Trouble.

Satan did not know everything, but he wanted to stop the fulfillment of Micah.

Micah 5:2 But thou, Bethlehem Ephratah, though thou be little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of thee shall he come forth unto me that is to be ruler in Israel; whose goings forth have been from of old, from everlasting.

And the fulfillment of Isaiah 7:14

Isaiah 7:14 Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.

Matthew 1:21-25 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.[22]Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying,[23]Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.[24]Then Joseph being raised from sleep did as the angel of the Lord had bidden him, and took unto him his wife:[25]And knew her not till she had brought forth her firstborn son: and he called his name JESUS. ( the name Jesus in verse 21 is ‘HOSHEA’ it means Elohim (OUR) SAVIOUR, ELOHIM who is our Salvation (He by whom the Covenant Keeping God (YAHWEH) will make whole. (SAVE= IN THE GREEK IS “SOZO” 4982 It means: “BE MADE WHOLE”, ‘Safe’; to save, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): - heal, preserve, (life) save, (self) do well, be (make) whole

Matthew 2:6 And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.

Matthew 2:1-23 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem,[2]Saying, Where is he that is born King of the Jews? for we have seen his star in the east, and are come to worship him.[3]When Herod the king had heard these things, he was troubled, and all Jerusalem with him.[4]And when he had gathered all the chief priests and scribes of the people together, he demanded of them where Christ should be born.[5]And they said unto him, In Bethlehem of Judaea: for thus it is written by the prophet,[6]And thou Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art not the least among the princes of Juda: for out of thee shall come a Governor, that shall rule my people Israel.[7]Then Herod, when he had privily called the wise men, enquired of them diligently what time the star appeared.[8]And he sent them to Bethlehem, and said, Go and search diligently for the young child; and when ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may come and worship him also.[9]When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was.[10]When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy.[11]And when they were come into the house, they saw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell down, and worshipped him: and when they had opened their treasures, they presented unto him gifts; gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.[12]And being warned of God in a dream that they should not return to Herod, they departed into their own country another way.[13]And when they were departed, behold, the angel of the Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.[14]When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:[15]And was there until the death of Herod: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Out of Egypt have I called my son.[16]Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.[17]Then was fulfilled that which was spoken by Jeremy the prophet, saying,[18]In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not.[19]But when Herod was dead, behold, an angel of the Lord appeareth in a dream to Joseph in Egypt,[20]Saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and go into the land of Israel: for they are dead which sought the young child's life.[21]And he arose, and took the young child and his mother, and came into the land of Israel.[22]But when he heard that Archelaus did reign in Judaea in the room of his father Herod, he was afraid to go thither: notwithstanding, being warned of God in a dream, he turned aside into the parts of Galilee:[23]And he came and dwelt in a city called Nazareth: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophets, He shall be called a Nazarene.

The name (Elohim) is the first name of God in your Bible, it is a revealing of what He is to us, Genesis 1, in the beginning God “Elohim” created the heaven and the earth. (EL) means “ The Almighty” with the Ability, ‘power to create’ “Ohim” CREATOR 

All born again saints of the Most High God ‘YAHWEH’ should believe in their heart, and their children should be brought up knowing this truth about our creator. There is a church in Columbus Ohio USA, a father and mother brought their baby to be prayed for, the baby was born without a ‘Brain Stim’. Our ‘Elohim’ created a brain stim and this miracle was reported on our local TV news. At the same church, a baby was prayed for and ELOHIM created an ‘OPTIC NERVE’ in the baby’s head I saw an evangelist stick his fingers in the ears of a man who had no ear drums, and move his fingers around while saying “ CREATE CREATE CREATE, and our ELOHIM did just that. There was a brother ministering at a meeting, he paused for a short time, he was receiving a ‘word of knowledge’ one of the  manifestations of the enduement of power received, the power is the gift that all nine (9) manifestations are operated by

Luke 24:49-50 And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high. [50]And he led them out as far as to Bethany, and he lifted up his hands, and blessed them.

The man speaking up front said, there is a man here who has been praying for 70 years for the Lord to heal his eye, A man stood up and started walking forward. A glass  eye fell out onto the floor and the great CREATOR, who became our Saviour, created an eye in the man’s eyes socket. Let’s stop here for a short time, I know that some of you who have been in meetings where miracles are happening, when you have read the above, tears came and you began to praise the “Holy One” who made it possible 

I know Mr. and Mrs. Ray, who were part of our fellowship who the doctor advised that the baby Mrs. Ray is carrying should be aborted, because of the condition of the baby. They prayed at home and they came to fellowship. I prayed that the baby would be born healthy and a happy baby. That is what Elohim did, Seth was born a healthy Child.
