Practical Living for Todays Times

Living with Harmony

How do we live in Harmony? That is something you might want to ask one of our older married couples. How do you and your Husband or Wife live in Harmony for all of these years? TRUST me its not because they never disagreed, but its because they never allowed satan or anyone else to manipulate the situation either. Lets turn to Jude 1:17-25

Jude 17–25 NKJV

But you, beloved, remember the words which were spoken before by the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you that there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. These are sensual persons, who cause divisions, not having the Spirit. But you, beloved, building yourselves up on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Spirit, keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life. And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire, hating even the garment defiled by the flesh. Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, And to present you faultless Before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, To God our Savior, Who alone is wise, Be glory and majesty, Dominion and power, Both now and forever. Amen.

We have only read the last part of this chapter but we will most likely see this whole book as we start out here today.

First of all if you go back to the very beginning of this book, you see that Jude the brother of James is the author of this book. In his introduction he acknowledges his audience for their works and then immediately begins to address the problems.

point 1 stay prepared live and grow in Faith

We as christians must be able to go thru some adversity but we must not get captured by the enemy and kept in that adversity.

We need to pray in the Holy Spirit to stregnthen uor faith. however the spirit gives utterance. do not ever quinch the move of the holy Spirit that is very dangerous. you have to remember that the Holy Spirit is one third of the Trinity. Having equal power as the other two thirds of the Trinity and that being all Power. The trinity’s power is not divided into 3 equal parts they each have accesss to the fullness of GODs power because they are all GOD.

point 2 Don’t let evil creep in

this passages say that their will be mockers in the last days. above in the earlier portion of this chapter it talks about those same mockers that are only after fulfilling their own personal lusts.

These types of people are call false prophets. they come with a perverse and wicked agend, that is not of GOD an agenda that is of the flesh, and of the world.

Secondly they seek to divide the church, they know that if the church is dividid that the conflict from within the church will cause it to fold split or fall from its power with the Holy Presence of the Lord. We must strive to not all Satan or anyone else to come between the body of believers Christians that are one body .

Christians we must heed the warning of those watchmen on the walls. Those who see in the spiritual realm, and we need to all be subject to hear from the Holy Spirit. We need to turn up our discernment meaters way up on sensative. we need to be able to detect the slightest of abnormalities during these ties.

point 3 seek the peace of the Holy Spirit

lastly it says that they will be devoid of the spirit. This simply means that they will have no form of the spirit for your spirit to bear witness of. There will be none much like those in Sodum and

Ghomora.

to be devoid of the spirit means having no knowledge or surrendering 0% to the spirit. we need to be careful of these people they again have an agenda a worldly agenda an agenda that does not line up with the word of GOD. there is a difference in an agenda and the living word of GOD. an agenda is trying to go some where or to make a certain point Gods living word is here to reproof, rebuke, and reject.

God wants us to be faithful to be faithful to his calling in the last days even when times get tougher and tougher. And believe me they will continue to get worse and worse until the church is take up from this earth to meet him in the air..

I still see a great falling away and a great revival coming in our future before the taking away of the church. who knows what must be endured before those things occur. we must build on the corner stone of Jesus Christ the stone that was origionaly rejected. unapproved but later found to be the perfect stone to build upon.
