After reading the open statement, I pray that you follow along, grab your bible, find out for yourself if what I am sharing is true. Always seek first the kingdom of God and all things will be shown to you.
JUDE 17-23
Your ministry is coming along well and suddenly , your asking yourself why is it that something just does not seem right, the atmosphere is changing and you can not put your finger on it. Well friends, Remember this " it is not something strange " 17-19There are going to be those who come along and divide and separate the good, the Will of God, those that are seeking His kingdom and doing his work, they will corrupt and follow their own selfish , fleshly desires and they will do it through Gossip, through immoralities and through wants and needs that feed the human flesh and the darkness of this age. They want to follow and obey the word of God, yet they allow the emotions to direct the path they live instead of dying daily and being new in Christ , they live for today, devouring what ever they may. " This is in your body of Christ , the church you worship in and attend .
Remember to take care of your self spiritually vv 20-21
Prayer is talking to God, and Prayer is what unlocks the answers when we listen to the direction of the Holy spirit that dwells in us, Have you ever just been at a loss for words in prayer, then suddenly words came and embraced your prayer that were not your own. That is the workings of the Holy Spirit you have dwelling in you and working through you , because you are a Child of the King and you have been redeemed. Obeying Gods word builds you up , you have the defense and the sword on your side, to be faithful and to see those that are coming , that do not believe that try and twist the truth. Those that are living in sin, and yet attending worship, praising and believing that the wages of the Sin they are living is, does not really matter to God because his grace forgives them. OH my friend, Grace is not a card to go forward and to Sin, the bible makes it very clear , about Obedience and diligence . We are not given a free pass to do what ever makes the flesh feel good, just because we can, and God forgives. I would hate to get to the end of the path and find out that by know means did his Grace allow me to continue in sin, once I have been taught better. The only way to learn, is to read the leaves of life ( BIBLE ) pray and be a diligent servant and follow his commandments. Not living on foolish desires that fade away and are temporal to this earth.
We have Hope that the Kingdom to come is much more worth loosing the desire of the flesh and turning away from sin, Those come into the church as if something strange is happening and they listen to the corruption that others plant in the thirsty ears , and they start to divide and separate what the One true God had intended , the one true road map to life in Christ, they start to minimize and deduct the teaching of the Lord and they add there own recipe to fit the needs of the selfish desires that are defiling the church and the members in the church. Jude was on a mission to share the truth that The doubters, the distant and the deniers were going to pull and separate those who love Christ and are doing his Will.
Colossians 2:6-8
Spiritual Fullness in Christ
6 So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, 7 rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.8 See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces[a] of this world rather than on Christ.
Verse 8 " See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy "
Ephesians 2:19-22
19 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. 21 In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. 22 And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit.
There is that word Spirit again, That is the Holy spirit that dwells in you, build a relationship with this power, Your temple is a Holy temple, Jesus Christ is the cornerstone ! Wow think about that for awhile !
But Dear Friends remember , read above over and over again. We all know a scoffer, someone who follows there own ungodly desires, These are those who divide you, they follow natural instinct and do not have the spirit. ( Yet raise the hands and sing songs of praise, walk away and sin, using the grace card, to be forgiven , NOT SO FRIENDS..
Our Job --- is to be merciful to those who doubt, fellow followers of CHRIST, we have the power to snatch THEM from the fire. We should do this with a trembling of fear of the Lord, a calling to tell the truth, even to friends, who are doing things that are not Godly. We are called to snatch them from the " FIRE " ! We have the ability to tread lightly yet show mercy and speak truth.
Are you willing to build yourself up first spiritually in Christ so that when you run into those who are doubters, and unbelievers, and corrupted in every way. Are you willing to spend time with them to share the truth, of the living Gospel, The love of Jesus Christ. Can you offer practical help with compassion ?

Ephesians 6:18
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.
This scripture is telling us to pray on ALL occasions, with all kinds of prayer. Let me tell you that HELP is a powerful prayer, when you do not know what to do, HELP, has power to turn the colors of darkness in your life over to the power of the Light.
The most powerful prayer I have ever prayed was this " I don't know, but GOD I know you know, so guide me, lead me , take my will and my life and show me.
Ok Now below is the scripture you have been waiting for this is the whole point, below !
20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.
22 Be merciful to those who doubt; 23 save others by snatching them from the fire; to others show mercy, mixed with fear—hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.[a]

Jude 1:17-23
A Call to Persevere
17 But, dear friends, remember what the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ foretold. 18 They said to you, “In the last times there will be scoffers who will follow their own ungodly desires.” 19 These are the people who divide you, who follow mere natural instincts and do not have the Spirit.20 But you, dear friends, by building yourselves up in your most holy faith and praying in the Holy Spirit, 21 keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life.

1 Thessalonians 5:8-11
8 But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on faith and love as a breastplate, and the hope of salvation as a helmet. 9 For God did not appoint us to suffer wrath but to receive salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ. 10 He died for us so that, whether we are awake or asleep, we may live together with him. 11 Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing. ( awake or asleep means dead or alive ) in Him.
Do you know that Mercy bends down real low, to build up others in his love.
My prayer is that you found truth in this reading and that you search your heart, many are among us who are distant, yet show up every Sunday, smiling and acting as if all is well. The spirit will show you how to talk, who to talk to , are you ready to listen to the prompt . God is making all things New, his love can never fail.
Are you willing to show someone the real facts, the real truth, are you willing to show someone the finished works of Christ. No more excuses, Grace is not a license to sin !
Lord, may these words touch the life of some, may it change the life of many, may it bear good fruits and be wholesome truths based from your spirit and not mine. In your holy , precious name I pray.
