What does "praying in the Holy Ghost" mean in Jude 1:20-25 (KJV)? Jude ends with the answer to apostasy: build up your faith, pray in the Holy Ghost, and keep yourselves in the love of God.
Book of Jude Pt 7 (the final study), hosted by Matt Hepner and TopLobsta.

Our last study in Jude. Verses 20-25 give the solution, and Matt starts with a warning: we win arguments with our lives, not with words. "Building up yourselves on your most holy faith" goes to "Increase our faith" (Luke 17:5-10) and faith as a grain of mustard seed (Matthew 17:14-21).

Praying in the Holy Ghost is more than praying in tongues. The Spirit "maketh intercession for us" (Romans 8:26), your body is His temple (1 Corinthians 6:19-20), the Father gives the Holy Spirit to them that ask (Luke 11:9-13), and the church at Antioch prayed and fasted (Acts 13:1-4). The opposite: "ye do always resist the Holy Ghost" (Acts 7:51).

Then counting the cost (Luke 14:25-33), David at home "at the time when kings go forth to battle" (2 Samuel 11), "keep yourselves in the love of God" beside "him that is able to keep you from falling," and Paul's shipwreck, where God gave him "all them that sail with thee" (Acts 27:24). Who's on your ship?
