Episode 64: Jude

Today's Meditation is based on the Book of Jude from the Passion Translation

I am a loving servant of Jesus, the Anointed One, wrapped in the love of Father God—kept and guarded for Jesus, the Messiah. God’s mercy, peace, and love cascade over me.

I participate in an amazing salvation! And I vigorously defend and contend for the beliefs that I cherish. For God, through the apostles, has once and for all entrusted these truths to his holy believers.

There are some who have perverted the message of God’s grace into a license to commit immorality and turn against the only absolute Master, my Lord Jesus Christ.

But Jesus saved me from darkness and those who are guilty of unbelief are destined for destruction.

I do not corrupt and pollute the natural realm, or reject the spiritual realms of governmental power, nor do I scoff at heavenly glories.

I do not insult what I don't understand or live by animal instincts and bring about my own destruction.

I am reverent and Jesus is my shepherd. I am like a cloud with rain, watering the earth. Like trees bearing fruit for harvest, with roots that run deep and strong. I am like a calm sea, and a north star shining brightly in the darkness. 

I am not a complainer or fault-finder, but am content. I follow God's desires and my mouth speaks blessings. I enjoy building up and encouraging others. 

I remember the prophecies of the apostles of our Lord Jesus, the Anointed One. I steer clear of mockers who are motivated by their own ungodly desires. These people cause divisions and are followers of their own natural instincts, devoid of the life of the Spirit.

Instead, I constantly and progressively build myself up on the foundation of my most holy faith by praying every moment in the Spirit. I fasten my heart to the love of God and receive the mercy of my Lord Jesus Christ, who gives me eternal life.

I remain compassionate to those who still have doubts, and snatch others out of the fire to save them. I am merciful over and over to them, but always couple my mercy with the fear of God. I am extremely careful to keep myself free from the pollutions of the flesh.

My Lord Jesus Christ is the one with enough power to prevent me from stumbling into sin and bring me faultless before his glorious presence to stand before him with ecstatic delight. To the only God my Savior, be endless glory and majesty, great power and authority — from before he created time, now, and throughout all the ages of eternity.

Until next time, be blessed and be a blessing.
