Jud 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;
Jud 1:18 How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts.
Jud 1:19 These be they who separate themselves, sensual, having not the Spirit.
Mockers.
Walking after their own lusts.
Separate themselves.
Sensual.
Not having the Spirit.
Mockers are scoffers and just what are they mocking and scoffing at?
2Pe 3:3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts,
2Pe 3:4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation.
Scoffing against our LORD and the promises He made to us. Mocking the promises we LIVE by when we choose to follow our Savior. Promises so many don't really believe at all. Promises so many have twisted to fit their own agendas or the agendas of those they choose to follow instead of following our Lord and Savior.
Do people walk after their own lusts?
We've been talking about this a lot because it NEEDS talking about. When we live for SELF we've lost Christ. Yet we've been raised to do this from our youth. Raised to seek fulfillment in getting what we want. If we want something we have to seek it- through presents as children, through jobs as we get older. And if people think just because they've worked for the things they desire that there is no lust involved, they're wrong. Some people spend their entire lives working and spending to gain the lusts they have and they think it's fine and dandy because they didn't take a handout to get what they want, they didn't steal the things they want, they worked hard for them. If you work hard for the wrong things does it make them right because of your hard work? No. Even murders, liars, thieves can work hard at their jobs- it doesn't make them a good thing. Lusts are lusts and when we walk after our own lusts we are NOT following our Savior, no matter how we try to fix it so it seems fine. We do that a lot. We make internal excuses for ourselves so we can continue serving our own lusts in disguise- disguises of our own designing.
Walking after their own lusts. This is something we HAVE to study because of the deceptive power Satan uses indoctrinating us from our youth to live for our own self satisfaction, to live to fulfill the lusts, any lusts we have.
The Definition of lust- 1. Longing desire; eagerness to possess or enjoy; as the lust of gain.
Lust doesn't have to mean sexual desires, you can lust after anything.
Separating themselves- keeping themselves from the SPIRIT.
We NEED the HOLY SPIRIT!
If we remain only sensual - living for our senses and not for our spirit- we are LOST.
There is a part in ALL of us that is given to us that LONGS for God, that can ONLY be fulfilled by GOD through the HOLY SPIRIT.
You can deny it if you want. You can scoff if you like, no one forces anyone to believe, but it is TRUTH.
If we live only for our senses - that which we can see, hear, taste, touch, smell- then we are lost.
Ask yourself if you live for your senses. Take stock of yourself. Examine yourself and realize just how much you do live for your senses.
Do you live for the HOLY SPIRIT? Do you live for our SAVIOR? Do you live for GOD? When you do, you are NOT living for your senses.
Jud 1:17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which were spoken before of the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ;

Remember.
In the LAST TIME.
Those who follow God will encounter a world filled with these people, and we have to know this. We have to understand the truth that is before us. We are told to remember and we have to do this because if we don't we will be in danger of being deceived.
Please Lord, please help us do YOUR WILL! Help us NOT be deceived, help us NOT to seek to live for our senses, but wholly for YOU.
