Mockers Have Arisen, Following Their Own Ungodly Desires

Continuing in the book of Jude, which is a one chapter book,we continue to be warned. Brothers and sisters, no matter what we understand, Jude makes it clear that we are responsible to "remain in God's love as you look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus the Messiah, which brings eternal life". The apostle Paul also tells us there is a race to finish.

If you have not read the first part of Jude's letter, please go back to the previous post and read it. It was filled with warnings which were shown in those who God destroyed in the past. There is a war for our souls and we are responsible for our actions.

The most dangerous place for most believers, is trusting the teachers of today. We are in the falling away and as a general rule, the teachers are not warning. Do not just quickly say "oh, my preacher does". If you do not know the scriptures and judge what the preachers say, you are in serious trouble and filled with false teachings. We are told to assemble together with other believers, but we are not told to listen to a teacher.

Do not trust a man with your soul. If you have not received the gift of languages, ask the Father to give it to you. Seek him earnestly and surrender your all to him. I know of no other way a person can "pray in the Holy Spirit" as Jude tells us to do. I prayed to receive the gift for several years before I received the gift of languages. I believe it was because I had been falsely taught they are not for today and this caused be to doubt and be fearful. If in faith you ask the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob for the gift, you can trust him with your all! You can search my blog for "languages" or "tongues". I show the scriptures which clearly explain this.

Jude 1 ISV

17But you, dear friends, must remember the statements and predictions of the apostles of our Lord Jesus, the Messiah.o 18They kept telling you, “In the last times there will be mockers, following their own ungodly desires.”p 19These are the people who cause divisions. They are worldly, devoid of the Spirit.

20But you, dear friends, 

• must continue to build your most holy faith for your own benefit. 
• Furthermore, continue to pray in the Holy Spirit. 
• 21Remain in God’s love as you look for the mercy of our Lord Jesus the Messiah,q which brings eternal life. 
• 22Show mercy to those who have doubts. 
• 23Save others by snatching them from the fire. 
• To others, show mercy with fear, hating even the clothes stained by their sinful lives.r

24Now to the one who is able to keep you from falling and to make you stand joyful and faultless in his glorious presence, 25to the only God, our Savior, through Jesus the Messiah,s our Lord, be glory, majesty, power, and authority before all time and for all eternity! Amen.
