BLESSED BY PRAYING IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

My Dear Precious Child, The letter from Jude to the churches was written by the brother of James and it mirrors the former letters of several apostles in its themes. His salutation to them is filled with doctrine itself. He wrote to the people who are called by Me, especially to those who have found love in Me as their Father, and they are safely guarded in Christ Jesus. No other letter from the apostles begins with that distinct a beginning, proclaiming that they have been called by Me, that there is Fatherly love in Me, and also that they have been guarded safety by Christ Jesus. Each one of those is a spiritual doctrine in itself. (Jude 1-2) Jude began by saying that he wanted to encourage them to fight hard for the faith that was delivered once and for all to the saints. He had intended to write about the salvation that they had all received but switched topics and decided to write about the false prophets who had invaded the body of Christ. He wrote more descriptively by saying that the false prophets had wormed their way into the church. He called them godless people who had long ago been destined for condemnation and destruction. He wrote that they had perverted the gracious gift of Mine to excess, denying Jesus Christ as the only Master and Lord. (Jude 3-4) He also wrote that he was going to remind them of some things of which they were already aware: first being that I had rescued the people of Israel from the land of Egypt but the ones who did not believe were destroyed. There were angels, too, who did not keep to their own domain, deserting their own dwelling place. Those rebellious angels, called demons, "are kept in perpetual bondage, shrouded in the murky darkness of judgment day." He reminded them that the towns of Sodom and Gomorrah indulged in lust just like the angels did. As they undergo eternal fire, they are examples to us of their judgment. He also noted that they pollute the flesh of people, making light of My judgment as they practice unnatural vice, and they inherit punishment for eternity. He also gave the example of Michael, the archangel, when his case was being disputed concerning the body of Moses Michael did not charge him with blasphemy. He did not include his own judgment, he just said that he would leave it up to Me to punish him. He said they were like brute animals, reviling the things of which they have no knowledge but they are corrupted by their own instincts, and they are worse because of it. They have taken the same road as Cain, abandoning themselves to Balaam's error and they perish in their rebellion.(Jude 5-11) Jude wrote that those sinners are blotches on the community, joining solemn feasts without shame, having been blown about by winds on clouds that have no rain. They bear no fruit, being dead and jerked up by their roots. He also described them as being wild ocean waves, splashing their shameless deeds abroad like foam or shooting stars who find their end in darkness forever. Then Jude quoted the writing of Enoch, his being the 7th generation after Adam, who prophesied by saying, "See, the Lord has come with countless holy ones surrounding Him to pass judgment on all men, indicting the godless for every evil deed they have done and convicting the godless sinners of every harsh word they have uttered against Him. " (Enoch 14f) Jude describes them as grumblers and whiners, living by their own passions, and whenever it is expedient they resort to flattery. (Jude 12-16) He also wrote in his letter for them to remember the prophetic words of the apostles and the Lord Jesus Christ the truth that they repeated over and over that in the last days of the covenant of the Holy Spirit there would be imposters living by their godless passions. They are devoid of My Spirit and cause divisions among My children. However, My instructions to you as My children if for you to grow strong in your faith that was given as a gift to you by praying in the language of the Holy Spirit and persevering in My love, welcoming My mercy which leads to eternal life. Jude told the believers in his letter to correct the people who are confused and he wrote that there are others who need to be rescued by snatching them from the fire. He urged them that toward even those whom they pitied that they must guard themselves by being disgusted by even their flesh-stained clothing. (Jude 20-23) Jude closed his letter by proclaiming that there is One who can protect them, and also you, from a fall and make you continue to be unblemished and triumphant in My presence of His glory, Jesus Christ the Righteous One by whom glory is given to My children even in ages past, now and for ages to come. So be it, Amen. (Jude 24-25) My children must heed the advice of Jude to build themselves up on their most holy faith by praying in the language of the Holy Spirit. Their holy faith is the faith given to them by Me as a gift of the Holy Spirit, faith that exceeds human faith and belief; faith that produces miracles and revelation which cause you to refuse the temptations of the flesh which the devil presents to your mind constantly. It is only with My gift of faith that you can resist those temptations. Previously, Jesus, Himself, was strong in his warning to James, John and Peter to stay awake and pray at least an hour so that they would not fall for the devil's temptation to sin. Instead of praying they continued to sleep and later Peter succumbed to the devil's temptation to deny knowning Christ, his Savior to whom he had professed that he would never leave Him because Jesus was the only one who had the words of eternal life. Because he was not built up in faith by praying in the Holy Spirit, Peter yielded to the temptation to lie and he denied knowing Christ three times. (Matthew 26:36-45) Jude knew the power of divine faith that is produced by My children praying in the Holy Spirit. After his writing about the sexual sins with which the devil tempts My children, He wrote to the believers that the only way to resist those temptations was by their building up their Holy Faith by praying in the Holy Spirit. By building up your spiritual muscles, you are able to resist temptations to which other people yield. Your Father of Strong Power and Faith
