Pray in the Holy Spirit!
Scripture reading for November 29th: Jude
Key Scriptures for over-comers: Jude 20-23 “But you, dear friends, build yourselves up in your most holy faith and pray in the Holy Spirit. Keep yourselves in God’s love as you wait for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ to bring you to eternal life. Be merciful to those who doubt; snatching others from the fire and save them; to others show mercy, mixed with fear–hating even the clothing stained by corrupted flesh.”
Jude, a half-brother of Jesus Christ, wrote to encourage believers to contend earnestly for the faith once delivered to the saints. (Jude vs. 3) He warned them of deceivers and false teachers that would come to move them away from a stand of faith. They must stay strong in the faith by standing on God’s word and praying in the Holy Spirit. Through this kind of prayer, they would build themselves up in faith and continue showing God’s love to the lost and those going astray.
Observations for over-comers: Praying in the Holy Spirit enables over-coming faith and loving acts of mercy for those headed for eternal destruction. “Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not He who weighs the heart perceive it, . .?”” (Proverbs 24:11-12)
