These Are Spots

“These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.” Jude‬ ‭1:12-13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Reading this reminded me of the storms we had last night!  How many of you laid awake fearful; listening to the winds; allowing the enemy to paint pictures of impending doom? 

Well what Jude writes is scarier by far than anything Hollywood has ever come up with! 

“I will therefore put you in remembrance, though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having saved the people out of the land of Egypt, afterward destroyed them that believed not. And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.” Jude‬ ‭1:5-7‬ ‭KJV‬‬

He tells the church that even after saving the children from pharaoh, God destroyed those who did not believe; they were the ones who did not fear The Lord and would not follow God's commandments, but chose to walk according to the flesh!

You who, go to church every week, but do not think The Law is for today, let me remind you - Jude is New Testament!  

Yes, God is love and He loves us, however we are to walk in love:

“And this is love, that we walk after his commandments. This is the commandment, That, as ye have heard from the beginning, ye should walk in it.” ‭‭2 John‬ ‭1:6‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“For there are certain men crept in unawares, who were before of old ordained to this condemnation, ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness, and denying the only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ.” Jude‬ ‭1:4‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Jude warns of an infiltration in the church of ungodly men contaminating the Truth!

“Likewise also these filthy dreamers defile the flesh, despise dominion, and speak evil of dignities.” Jude‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“These are murmurers, complainers, walking after their own lusts; and their mouth speaketh great swelling words, having men's persons in admiration because of advantage.” Jude‬ ‭1:16‬ ‭KJV‬‬

If someone or a denomination is not pointing you to The Law then you are "blind following the blind"!

The Commandments expose your sin;  pointing you to repentance!

Only preaching a feel good message will not pull you out of the fire!

Only by acknowledging your sins, repenting, and turning from your wicked ways, will you be saved from judgement and eternal damnation! 

Time is running out!

Even so - MARANATHA!

Addendum: Many on Facebook are stressing greatly over the atrocities we are hearing about around the world. This evil will continue and grow worse and even touch our own lives in the future. We can be consumed in our fears of the times prophesied or we can keep our eyes on The One Who IS in control! We should Fear God and be obedient to His Word and reach out to a deceived nation who believes it is going to heaven! Seek God with your whole heart and repent of your sins while there is still time!
