This is deep and my spirit has not been able to rest on it,but it keep telling me to search more into the story of creation and it 's more to the war in heaven,satan and his fallen then we could ever know.
Just want to say how wonderful our lord Jesus is.He turned me from my ungodly
N sinful ways and I'm thankful that we have a loving and merciful god. I was on a destructive path leading me to death.And Jesus always has me running full force right back to him.I love him with all my mind body and soul. He is still working on me.He has been so good to me.
this chapter was given to me in a dream and i believe now that jesus christ is the same as God and we should flew away from evil and hold onto our faith and verse 20 says we shd pray in the holy spirit and build up spiritually.
this is one of my favorite scriptures when your praying in the hoy ghostso many people have gotten away from this the holy spirit has given m e a messagefor the church on grieving @quenching the holy spiritthe church needs a fresh baptism of the holy spirit
Mockers are generally eavesdroppers that usually know nothing about a person and the Way of a Christian's trust and happiness of God's goodness.Being presumptuous mockers impose themselves as a threat and involve themselves to a man's home and workplace because of their own unrewarding demeanor.They're basically home wreckers waiting to "happen".
We all existed before this life as spirits ( Jeremiah 1:5). The angels that kept not their first estate refers to the spirits that followed Satan in open rebellion against God (See Revelations 12:7-11 and also 1 Adam and Eve 5:7 and 55:7-15). Everyone on the earth kept our first estate, many of us fought against Satan to help defeat him, and this Earth life is our second estate. Satan failed, so he and his followers are executing a backup plan, which is to get as many of us as possible to not keep our second estate (Revelations 12: 17).
Jude was the brother of Jesus, and this is what he said about him. "Look, the Lord (Jesus) is coming with thousands of his holy ones. He will bring the people of the world to judgment. He will convict the ungodly of all the evil things they have done in rebellion and of all the insults that godless sinners have spoken against him. Earlier he said of the angels that "God has kept them chained in prisons of darkness waiting for the day of judgment." This proves that Jesus and God are the same. Because it is Jesus, as God, who comes and judge the world.
It means further that Jesus cannot be a being less than God, or a being separate from God as many claim he is. This false teaching started early in Christianity, and continues until this day. Satan knows that if we lower Jesus to a subordinate position, we can't be saved.
Even the Jews of Jesus' day knew that only God can forgive sin. And since Jesus claimed to have such power, it was his way of saying that he was God. One of the most famous verses in the Bible supports this point: "... And the Word (Jesus) was God ( John 1:1). Another famous verse is Philippians 2:11: "... Jesus is Lord (God). ..." This verse concludes with "to the Glory of God the Father." This only means that there is another personality in God besides Jesus-the Holy Spirit is the third.
What is it that GOD can't do Now unto him that is able to do exceedging abundantly above all that we ask or think ephesians 3 :20 Sick in your body he's ABLE need a job he's ABLE lost your way he's ABLE trying to fix it he's ABLE Do you get the picture he's ABLE..............
This Book is a great reminder that God is the same yesterday, today and always will be . I give thanks for his word daily invite the Holy Spirit in my life.
To be filled with the Holy Spirit is to be filled with Christ. The Holy Spirit came to glorify Christ. Therefore, if I am filled with the Spirit, I am abiding in Christ. I am walking in the light as He is the light, and the blood of Jesus Christ will cleanse and keep on cleansing me from all unrighteousness. I am controlled by Christ because the word "filling" means to be controlled. And if I am controlled -- not as a robot but as one who is led and empowered by the Spirit -- the Lord Jesus will walk around in my body and live His resurrection life in and through me.
Verse 3 "the faith which was once delivered unto the saints " It is complete now as it was then. There are no amendments to it. The question may be asked do we believe and hold to it? Or something else? Faithfulness to God�s word is faithfulness to God Himself. More than can be expressed.
Verse 20 is vital. When you pray in the Spirit, it is like a battery being hooked up to a battery charger! You are recharged spiritually. What a great source of power for the Church of this dispensation. A great secret to the power that Paul walked in was that he prayed in through the Spirit almost all the time ("more than ye all", he said).
I love this word!!! I hear it in church as we close service & last night it finally rang in my spirit!!! I HEARD it just last night!!!! I feel so full of life & I am overwhelmed at my life. I have very far to go to meet God's expectation for my life. I want nothing more than to be who He says I am & who I am to become. I thank you Lord for your word that brings rebuke, correction, healing, strength, deliverance & joy!!
I don't know about quiting calling the devil a liar but rather quit disputing with the devil in terms of the sinful worldly nature of the human condition. In other words don't try to understand and dispute the devil through reason in pursuit of some ulterior motive, as oppossed to godly reason and godly motivation. (vs 4 and 10). How do you do that? Keep steadfast with the way of christ. How do you do that? verse 19 and 20 and 21 describe how you must not remain "sensual" or rather distant from yourself (aka selfless) and that you must pray *in* not *to* the holy ghost. What does that mean? well for me that means detaching yourself and allowing god to manifest from within so you embody christ (sort of like what happens when you die and if you "accept" christ in you're life he magically steps in front of you're tainted being full of sins.) Others might interpret this in light of praying *to* christ and *accepting* christ meaning you think of him often and actively keep him close by. However there clarifying this closeness as being close with the bible rather than from *within*. Do you see my point? He's discussing the potential faults that naturally come with the nature of the bible and it's flexible interpretive quality. He's saying mere scripture isn't were all the authority is coming from you have to let the scripture of the bible or christ from within in order to truly dispute the devil from a godly position. check out vs 24. This is a big question. How do you communicate with god and how do you act through god? What is motivating you? Is being simply conversant with the scripture enough? What does it mean to be conversant with the scripture keeping in mind it's flexible interpretive nature? If those who wrote the scripture are said to embody the holy ghost then how are mere sinners supposed to interpret such transcended speech? Where does the authority lie? I propose through a transcended lens, one that has at least glimpsed and experienced the holy ghost not merely been conversant with scripture through the lens of the sinful "sensual" mind. "prayer in the holy ghost".
reaponse to Eahoue's u should read over verse 19 an 20. verse 19 stated "These be they who SEPERATE themselves, sensual, HAVING NOT THE SPIRIT.
verse 20 mentioned " Praying in the Spirit. When the Holy Spirit is active in A believer's Life (one must be serving God in spirit and truth) he or she can absolutely pray in the Spirit.I have experience.you know that once we accept Jesus Christ in our lives we receive the Holy Spirit. But the Holy Spirit is not active in every one.
A beautiful verse if understood correctly. Since vs.19 infers that believers *have* the Spirit then *praying in the Spirit* would not make sense and be redundant.
I researched the Greek word *In G1722* and found that the preposition *to* makes better sense.
Jude 1:20 "Praying to the Holy Spirit (fully God)",
who teaches, guides, sanctifies, etc and speaks to us makes much better sense.
Would we not converse back? This is a form of trust, love, worship, prayer and fellowshipping.
