Strong Of Heart Jude

¹²These bad-hearted ones have no respect for the love you share when they feast with you at your sacred family gatherings. They are dark spots and stains on your gatherings, caring only for themselves. They are clouds with no rain, blown about by the winds. They are trees that have no fruit at the harvest moon. They are twice dead, with their roots plucked from the ground. ¹³Their shameful ways are like the foam churned up by the storm-tossed waves of the sea. They are lost and wandering stars that have strayed from their proper path in the night sky. A place of deep darkness that goes on and on is kept ready for them.

¹⁴It was people like this that Walks with Creator (Enoch), the seventh generation from Red Clay (Adam), prophesied about when he said, “Behold! Our Honored Chief is coming with many thousands of his holy ones. ¹⁵When he comes, he will carry out the decision he has made against the ones who have followed their bad hearts and broken ways. Their shameful ways will be exposed along with all the insulting things they have spoken against the Great Spirit.” ¹⁶These people keep grumbling and complaining, even as they try to satisfy all of their own broken desires. They speak big, boastful words and use flattery to get what they want from others.

¹⁷But I call on you, my much-loved friends, to remember the words spoken by the message bearers of our Honored Chief, Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One, as they warned us of what was coming. ¹⁸They told you that in the time of the end there would be scoffers who would follow their own selfish desires. ¹⁹They were talking about these troublemakers who turn people against each other—beast-like people—who do not have the Spirit.

²⁰But you, my much-loved friends, use your trust in our sacred and spiritual ways6 to grow even stronger as you pray with the words the Holy Spirit gives you. ²¹Keep yourselves deeply rooted in the love of the Great Spirit, as you keep looking and waiting for the mercy of our Honored Chief, Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One, who gives us the life of the world to come that never fades away, full of beauty and harmony.

²²Show this same mercy to some among you who are doubting, ²³and rescue some as if you were snatching them from flames of fire. To others show mercy as you tremble in fear, hating the broken ways that have stained their regalia and ruined their lives.

²⁴Now to the one who is able to keep you from stumbling, who can make you pure and blameless, so that with great joy you can stand before his bright-shining greatness. ²⁵To the one Great Spirit, who has set us free and made us whole through our Honored Chief Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One. Bright-shining greatness, beauty, power, and chiefly rule belong to him from the time before all days, today, and to the time beyond the end of all days.

Aho! May it be so!
