JUDAS, we remember you! You have heard, "once saved, always saved." Surely this is one sentence the Christian would always like to hear. "Once saved, always saved." During the time as Pastor, I attempted to teach this as one philosophy in the church house and I added, "as long as you stay saved." Lo and behold the dust mentality came alive. Men and women, in and out of God's church house for years could not understand a simple statement as, "Once saved, and always saved as long as you stay saved." The easiest illustration I could give to a baby was, if I gave you a dollar and you came back later and say: "I cannot handle this dollar, take it back, this is too much pressure for me to handle." Once I had that dollar and as long as I had it, I was saved. However, there are those who have gone to God, and made it known that, "no more could they sustain and be righteous in His Kingdom." So God, bless me as your child because I want to go back so that I can have fun. (I'd rather go back to Egypt and eat onions.) Now God you know my heart. But the road is difficult now. But Lord, I promise as soon as I get myself together, I will return. Once you have salvation, you have to be obedient to a righteous God. After salvation comes, work. If you decide to go back to Satan, God will say: "I will stand at the door and knock, That is it." If you do not let God in, there is no way you are going to keep your employment with God. Ask Adam, our biological father. Ask Adam, is he saved. He was once saved in the Garden of Eden. What happened? He was fine until he became spiritually bankrupt listening to Satan. He went back to a dust like state. Every since the beginning, God has been calling us back. When Adam turned against God, he was saying: "I want to file bankruptcy." Filling Spiritual Bankruptcy is saying: "I am giving up all you gave me God, take it back. I cannot pay the dues. I love this wilderness; it is a lot to see and it is fun. We become so Spiritually Bankrupted that we cannot see ourselves going in the Circles of Ruin.
