    Even if churches, ministers, or ministries cast out demons in Jesus name, they can miss heaven. How? By not being authorized to do the things they are doing.

    Are you Authorized? Matthew 7:21-23 21 "Not all people who sound religious are really godly. They may refer to me as `Lord,’ but they still won’t enter the Kingdom of Heaven. The decisive issue is whether they obey my Father in heaven. 22 On judgment day many will tell me, `Lord, Lord, we ...read more

    What is holiness? The word HOLY used here means to be or to keep oneself pure or to sanctify yourself wholly.Let us look at four statements here in this verse that help define personal holiness.

    What exactly does it mean to be HOLY? I think I can better answer that question if I know what being Holy is not. For instance, if you shout all over the church while tripping over your tongue, That is not Holy. If you withhold your tithe to starve the pastor out, That is not Holy. If you prefer ...read more
