    Some churches teach that once you obtain salvation that you can’t lose it. What do the Scriptures say.

    Once Saved Always Saved The Once Saved Always Saved is one of the most dangerous doctrines in the church. This doctrine states that when someone receives salvation, they can never lose it.

    The people of God are engaged in a great battle. If we will engage the enemy and advance the cause of Christ, we need to heed the commands issued in this text.

    The vagabond anointing is responsible for the lack of direction and aimlessness in so many lives. The devil himself is a vagabond and he likes to distribute that anointing.

    In Genesis 4:12, we see the first example of a vagabond person. It says, "When thou tillest the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive and a vagabond shall thou be in the earth."
