Having not the Spirit

Mockers in the last time.
Mockers who will walk after their own UNGODLY lusts.
Mockers who separate themselves- sensual- having NOT the Spirit.

Separation from evil is a good thing.  Evil separating itself from God is a bad thing. You cannot have the Spirit if you separate yourself from the Savior.  If you choose to indulge your UNGODLY lusts you are choosing to separate yourself from the Spirit of God.  The Holy Spirit wants to be in us, united with us drawing us ever closer to the Savior, keeping us from evil. 

We are SHOWN right and wrong.

Just as our original parents had to make a choice we TOO face that same choice in many ways.  Do we choose to be united with God or separate ourselves from Him?

Sin separates us from God.

Atonement--     AT ONE MENT - through the forgiveness our Savior died to give us we can be made one with God again, no longer separated from Him.

OUR ungodly lusts WILL separate us from the SPIRIT.

If the Spirit is NOT living in us perhaps we need to examine ourselves. 2Co_13:5 

In examining ourselves we need to comprehend our true selves, not hide behind excuses.  We need to truly recognize any evil ways with us, any cherished evil ways that would separate us from God.

Please, Father, please open our eyes, open our hearts to YOUR truth so we may be kept from evil by YOU. Help us NOT to walk after our own ungodly lusts! Help us NEVER to separate ourselves from YOU. Keep us in the SPIRIT, please, Father. Through the grace, mercy, the love of Your only begotten Son, Jesus Christ our Lord!

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.

Luk_6:22  Blessed are ye, when men shall hate you, and when they shall separate you from their company, and shall reproach you, and cast out your name as evil, for the Son of man's sake.

Rom_8:35  Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?

Rom_8:39  Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

2Co_6:17  Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you

Heb_7:26  For such an high priest became us, who is holy, harmless, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the heavens

1Co 2:14  But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Jas 3:13  Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom.
Jas 3:14  But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth.
Jas 3:15  This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.
Jas 3:16  For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.
Jas 3:17  But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

Jas 3:18  And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace.
