Children like to Fart and think of it as laughing Gas. Adults run and think of it as poison gas. It is really a perception issue of how one handles or looks at it. In order to enter the Kingdom of God, one must have a faith like a child. Perhaps, it would be better for you to laugh at your circumstances rather than complain and run from it.

Matthew 18:3-4(AMP) And said, Truly I say to you, unless you repent (change, turn about) and become like little children [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving], you can never enter the kingdom of heaven [at all].4Whoever will humble himself t...herefore and become like this little child [trusting, lowly, loving, forgiving] is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

Proverbs 15:15 (AMP)All the days of the desponding and afflicted are made evil [by anxious thoughts and forebodings], but he who has a glad heart has a continual feast [regardless of circumstances].

Proverbs 17:22(AMP) A happy heart is good medicine and a cheerful mind works healing, but a broken spirit dries up the bones.

Psalm 2:4(AMP) He Who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].

Psalm 126:2 (AMP) Then were our mouths filled with laughter, and our tongues with singing. Then they said among the nations, The Lord has done great things for them.

God does have a sense of humor. God is playing with the chldren who are farting and laughing rather than those who are rebuking the children for having a good time by farting.

Can demons be in a Christian?

Demons are like viruses. You cannot see them but they can greatly influence you spiritually, mentally, and physically. Demons can be in everyone including Christians. They must be dealt with and cast out as necessary. The demons mainly enter people as they are given legal right through SIN. But they are also able to enter through other ways, even by laying hands on one another. It is best that you do not just let any "minister, pastor, elder, or lay believer" lay hands and pray over you. We need to be prayed up and our armor polished and ready. How well do you know of them anyway? When we sin we must be quick to repent so that the demons are not allowed to build their kingdom of darkness inside us. If they are allowed to build their kingdom inside us, we may become more numb to sin and our hearts may continue to harden.

Yes, the demons cannot possess a Christian but they can certainly and strongly can influence us. Just as a flu virus cannot possess anyone but it can strongly influence a person physically, mentally, and emotionally. Demons integrate with your mind, emotions, personality, and physical bodies. They cause terminal sickness as people give them the legal right to do so. For example, if a Christian holds unforgiveness in their heart for 20 or so years (20 years is just an example), that spirit of unforgiveness will work with the other demons to cause terminal sickness. When a person has resentment and unforgiveness in their hearts for many years, it may have been eating them alive inside out experiencing many sleepless nights and that spiritual issue of the heart will manifest physically into a serious physical and in most cases a terminal illness such as cancer or the likes. In the OT, the disease of leprosy was symbolic of sin. What may the symbolic sickness of sin be today? Was not Miriam, Moses cousin struck with leprosy when she had spoken against Moses? Uzziah broke out with leprosy as he was enraged against the priests.

Leviticus 13:47 The garment also that the disease of leprosy [symbolic of sin] is in, whether a wool or a linen garment,

2 Chronicles 26:19 Then Uzziah was enraged, and he had a censer in his hand to burn incense. And while he was enraged with the priests, leprosy broke out on his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, beside the incense altar.

But it can be other major illness as well. When a Christian is experiencing a serious illness, it is a message to wake up and search their hearts. God's people who had traveled with Moses had only become sick when they had disobeyed or rebelled against God. A Christian cannot enter the Kingdom of God with unforgiveness in their hearts. Scripture says unless you forgive others, God cannot forgive you. Grace will NOT supersede God's own Word.

Numbers 21:6-8 (AMP)6Then the Lord sent fiery (burning) serpents among the people; and they bit the people, and many Israelites died.7And the people came to Moses, and said, We have sinned, for we have spoken against the Lord and against you; pray to the Lord, that He may take away the serpents from us. So Moses prayed for the people.8And the Lord said to Moses, Make a fiery serpent [of bronze] and set it on a pole; and everyone who is bitten, when he looks at it, shall live.

Matthew 8:16 (AMP) When evening came, they brought to Him many who were [a]under the power of demons, and He drove out the spirits with a word and restored to health all who were sick.

This is one of the greatest deception within the church as many are being led and taught that demons cannot be in a saved person. They argue and debate pointing out that demons cannot dwell where the Holy Spirit resides. They justify using scripture that light cannot dwell with darkness. I asked the Holy Spirit of this subject. He revealed to me a question for such people. Where is the Holy Spirit? Is He not everywhere? If God is everywhere then the demons should not have any business being anywhere the Holy Spirit is present. Their argument that Light cannot dwell with darkness in that respect does not hold.

Mark 7:25-30(AMP)Instead, at once, a woman whose little daughter had (was under the control of) an unclean spirit heard about Him and came and flung herself down at His feet.26Now the woman was a Greek (Gentile), a Syrophoenician by nationality. And she kept begging Him to drive the demon out of her little daughter.27And He said to her, First let the children be fed, for it is not becoming or proper or right to take the children's bread and throw it to the [little house] dogs.28But she answered Him, Yes, Lord, yet even the small pups under the table eat the little children's scraps of food.29And He said to her, Because of this saying, you may go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter [permanently].30And she went home and found the child thrown on the couch, and the demon departed.

A Gentile woman came and asked Jesus for help to drive a demon out of her daughter. The Lord replied harshly and said such help is not for her but for His children. But when she reacted back in faith, the Lord granted her request. Jesus said, "First let the children be fed, for it is not becoming or proper or right to take the children's bread." Deliverance was for God's people. It was not for the Syrophoenician people. Many Christians are led incorrectly to believe that casting out demons are for unbelievers? Well if that is the case, when have ministries ever promoted casting demons out of unbelievers? Do we go up to an unbeliever and ask if they want to have demons cast out first before accepting and believing in the Lord? And when someone does accept the Lord, are they going to state they have no more demons because he/she is a Christian now? When are we suppose to be driving demons out then?

When Jesus walked the earth, He was the Anointing. He came for His own. He came for the what was lost. As He walked, His Power would set the demons off and people would manifest trembling, shaking severely, rolling on the ground, and having seizures. The demons in most cases did not go quietly. They went out screaming and yelling. Some of you have seen videos such as on YouTube of people reacting strangely at churches or meetings and call it the work of the devil! But in reality, it may be people manifesting. Some churches know how to deal with it and properly cast them out but many do not discern and would not know what to do. The presence of the Holy Spirit can make a person shake. But it is not an out of control shake or a slithering movement like a snake. The Holy Spirit does not make people bark either. It is most likely a demonic manifestation. With the Holy Spirit, there is always harmony and balance. We must have discernment to know what is of God and what is the enemy to cast demons out when they manifest instead of calling it the devil's work just as His people accused Him when He walked the earth. I suggest everyone be more cautious of what they conclude if they do not know for themselves.


Luke 4:41 (AMP) And demons even came out of many people, screaming and crying out, You are the Son of God! But He rebuked them and would not permit them to speak, because they knew that He was the Christ (the Messiah).

Demons generally lodge themselves in the belly area. But they can be throughout the body and in the organs of a person. During deliverance, many feel their stomachs react. I think this is where we get the term "butterflies in our stomachs". As demons come out, they can come out in many different ways. Deliverance can be performed and experienced in different ways. Many are led to believe deliverance is like the movie "Exorcism." Although, we ourselves have experienced  full manifestations from people, it is not like the movies. Much of the time is spent discussing and consulting for inner healing. The issue is the heart of a person. Furthermore, the Western Church looks down on people who manifest. But sadly, many Christians themselves are infested with demons.

How can I say such a thing that many Christians are infested with demons? When we blurt out in rage, anger, short temper, lust, hate, bitterness, gossip, foul language, etc etc etc, it is the demons you are feeding. Perhaps, you are feeding an addiction? After a person has their fit or rage, they usually regret their words and actions. But by then, the demons have been fed and they retract. This is why we must make the effort to crucify our Flesh and not feed them. It is part of your consecration process so you may live Holy. Are we to look and act like the world? Are we to talk and react as unbelievers or are we going to walk in what we say we are and believe possessing the FRUIT of the Holy Spirit? Either you walk in the Fruit of the Holy Spirit or the carnal nature. One leads to life and one leads to death. Grace is given so we can overcome. It is not given so we can continue in our short comings.

Stop feeding the demons and they will flee to find food from somewhere else.


James 4:7(AMP) So be subject to God. Resist the devil [stand firm against him], and he will flee from you.

Matthew 21:12-13 (AMP) And Jesus went into the temple ([a]whole temple enclosure) and drove out all who bought and sold in the [b]sacred place, and He turned over the [c]four-footed tables of the money changers and the chairs of those who sold doves.13He said to them, The Scripture says, My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of robbers.

The physical temple consists of three parts, the outer courts, the Holy Place and the Holy of Holies. When Jesus came to the temple, He saw those peddling for money in the temple of God and He kicked the money changers out. Where is the temple now? The temple is YOU!! The money changer could not enter the Holy of Holies but they were allowed to do business in the outer court. But they were defiling the physical temple. If the temple is now YOU, then your outer court can become defiled with demons. The demons cannot enter your Holy of Holies where the Holy Spirit resides but they can create havoc in your outer court. When they are kicked out, then healing can come.

Matthew 21:14 (AMP) And the blind and the lame came to Him in the [a]porches and courts of the temple, and He cured them.

God delivers people in different ways. But Jesus said after the resurrection that those who BELIEVE will cast demons out. He is not saying those who believe in casting demons out will be able to cast demons out. He is saying to those who BELIEVE in HIM will be able to cast demons out.

Luke 11:20 "But if I drive out the demons by the finger of God, then the Kingdom of God has already come upon you."

Luke 10:9" And heal the sick in it and say to them, The Kingdom of God has come close to you."

We are all able to cast demons and out of ourselves but the strongman or stronghold must be bound and broken. This may require a lot of prayer and fasting. We must incorporate words of "bind and cast out in Jesus Name" in our prayers. The demons are all around, we must deal with them directly for authority and power has been given to His people. And most importantly, RUN FROM ALL FORMS OF SIN!! SHUN FROM EVIL!!

Luke 10:19 (AMP) Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.

Many Christians are afraid of the devil and the demons. It is time to realize Truth and Truly BELIEVE that you have the authority to trample on them and not the other way around. If you are struggling with anger, bind and cast out anger in Jesus Name when it rises up. If you are struggling with lust, bind and cast out in Jesus Name, etc etc. It is not just one statement and they are all gone. Your words of "Get out in Jesus Name!!" is like a holy bullet or punch. You must punch them numerous times. It can be a tug of war of who will give in first. Moreover, you must have a disciplined prayer life.

When the Lord first started us out in our deliverance ministry a few years ago, we would battle with demons for hours and hours as we cast them out from a person. Now, as He has granted us with more of His Fire, it is much more quicker. We cannot kill a demon or evil spirit. The WAR is fought with Authority!! If you consider yourself a Child of God, then walk in that Authority. Speak words of LIFE over yourself instead of words of defeat.

Keep His Temple Holy. You are His Temple and He will NOT share it with anyone or anything. Use this time of Grace to sanctify yourselves. He will destroy anyone who defiles it. This includes "self."

1 Corinthians 3:16-17 (AMP) Do you not discern and understand that you [the whole church at Corinth] are God's temple (His sanctuary), and that God's Spirit has His permanent dwelling in you [to be at home in you, [a]collectively as a church and also individually]? 17If anyone [b]does hurt to God's temple or corrupts it [[c]with false doctrines] or destroys it, God will [d]do hurt to him and bring him to the corruption of death and destroy him. For the temple of God is holy (sacred to Him) and that [temple] you [[e]the believing church and its individual believers] are.

God Bless you all

The Lord has said during our prayers the other night that many desire His return for their own selfish reasons. We all need to ask ourselves why do we want Him to return now? Are we being selfish or are we seeking His Kingdom? Have the Holy Spirit search your hearts brethren.

Do you desire His return now because the creditors are breathing down your necks? Do you want Him to come now before the bank comes and takes your car or home? Do you desire His return now because your family is in chaos or because you are in chaos? Do you desire Him to return now because life is just too difficult?

The Lord said that too many of you are selfish. HE said that we should have the HEART TO SEEK HIS KINGDOM FIRST. We need to be concerned about saving souls. We need to be persevering and enduring our test and trials overcoming all things through His Strength.

What will happen if He is to return today? Is your family saved? Is your friends saved? Are you saved or are you struggling in your flesh? You should be thankful that He has given you another day to PRAY for the salvation of your families!! But then the question remains, are you praying or are you complacent?

HE will come and HE is coming! HE is coming with a ROD! This is a fact. But He will come at His appointed time. But in the meanttime, DO HIS WORK AND SEEK HIS KINGDOM AS YOU KEEP AWAKE AND WATCH. LET HIM FINISH HIS WORK IN YOU SO YOU MAY BEAR FRUIT WORTHY TO BE TAKEN.

Separate yourselves from the World, repent, and live HOLY for He comes for a Bride without spots or blemish. Too many Christians playing the HARLOT!! Do you like Jesus or do you like lady gaga? Do you like Jesus or do you like Usher? Do you like Jesus or do you like NFL? Do you like Jesus or do you like to Drink Beer? Do not think these are all trivial matters? You are being unfaithful to your KING. Many of His people are sick/dying like the world and they do not even realized they are receiving their own judgment.

Luke 21:36 (AMP)Keep awake then and watch at all times [be discreet, attentive, and ready], praying that you may have the full strength and ability and be accounted worthy to escape all these things [taken together] that will take place, and to stand in the presence of the Son of Man.

Galatians 5:16 (AMP)But I say, walk and live [habitually] in the [Holy] Spirit [responsive to and controlled and guided by the Spirit]; then you will certainly not gratify the cravings and desires of the flesh (of human nature without God).

From the Lord

Received during prayer June 8, 2011, 11:55PM

When we want something so bad, we can become deceived by our own desires. Many of the May 21, 2011 people were deceived because they wanted Jesus to come back so bad that those desires superseded getting to know Him as the Person of Jesus Christ. God said that He will grant us the desires of our heart. Well, that works when our desires line up with His Will.

Do parent not desire to give nice things to their children. But are we going to give them an expensive race car on their 16th birthday just because the kid desires it? When the child is mature enough to know that he only requires a lemon (used vehicle) at the age of 16, then we will grant it. When you get closer to the Lord, then He will reveal the desires of your heart which are really His Will.

Psalm 37:4(AMP)Delight yourself also in the Lord, and He will give you the desires and secret petitions of your heart.

Because many people are experiencing personal tribulation, they desire the Lord to return before the creditors take their house or car. But maybe it is His Will that they take them so He can set them free from their bondage.

The demons integrate with your thoughts, personality, body, and emotions. When you want something so bad outside of the person of Jesus Christ, you will give them access to deceive you because you basically give them the keys to your house in that respect. Some are so busy looking for the signs of His return that their focus has now been redirected to the news and events of the world. Now they spend much of their time shifting through the news which has consumed them more than spending time with the Lord. It has become an idol.  News in itself is not a bad thing but when you spend four to six hours on your favorite News channel to hear the same thing over and over, when are we going to get it?

In a real war, many soldiers do desire to go home to avoid the battles and the realities of war. But those thoughts actually hinder their productivity and at times their greatest fear may come to pass of becoming injured or killed. Instead of doing their jobs properly and helping others (save lives), their time and thoughts become consumed with wanting to go home. Why? Because it is safe. It is comfortable. It is about self preservation.

If a solider has voluntarily joined and if we are going to claim that we are willing to DIE for our country (for the Lord in our case), then the soldier should have the attitude to know that he has a job to do and that he cannot go home until the battle or his job is done. The soldier must face the dangers persevering enduring and overcoming all obstacles to look out for his fellow soldiers and others. When the commander (Jesus) says the soldier can go home, then the soldier can go home. This is rapture ready.

2 Timothy 2:3(AMP) Take [with me] your share of the hardships and suffering [which you are called to endure] as a good (first-class) soldier of Christ Jesus.

Fire of God!

You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus

Ephesians 2:20-22 (AMP)20You are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself the chief Cornerstone.21In Him the whole structure is joined (bound, welded) together harmoniously, and it continues to rise (grow, increase) into a holy temple in the Lord [a sanctuary dedicated, consecrated, and sacred to the presence of the Lord].22In Him [and in fellowship with one another] you yourselves also are being built up [into this structure] with the rest, to form a fixed abode (dwelling place) of God in (by, through) the Spirit.

The church is suppose to be built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets with Christ Jesus Himself as the chief Cornerstone. This is what scripture states. But sadly today, the church has been built upon the foundation of denominations, theology, and religion. Every church or denomination thinks the other guy or denomination is the luke warm church. They perhaps better look at themselves instead. Perhaps it is them who should ask God whether if they are the ones who have fallen away from Grace as an individual or a group.

God is going to bring restoration to His church. The lukewarm churches have compromised with sin and they are leading His people to assimulate with the world. Instead of accurately discerning and teaching His people to obey the faith in Jesus Christ, they are too busy catering to the needs of this or that group. Just as the politicians of our government, they cater to the middle instead of preaching uncompromise Truth!! Do they not know God is and about to clean house?

On the flip side, it is further sad that many of today's five fold minstry have stumbled the lay believers in which they themselves are viewed suspicious. Many have jumped the band wagon of the world's way seeking self gratification and attention. Those who are called to be Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Preachers, and Teachers should be more concerned of bearing FRUIT in their calling instead of concerning themselves over their titles, positions, and ranks.

The Pharisee with their nice clothes, positions, and titles came to John the Baptist to snicker at him. But John replied and said to GO BEAR FRUIT OF REPENTANCE!! Nothing is new under the sun. Even today, many of God's shepherd eat the best fat while His sheep starve.


Ezekiel 34:2-3(AMP)Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy and say to them, even to the [spiritual] shepherds, Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the [spiritual] shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the sheep?3You eat the fat, you clothe yourselves with the wool, you kill the fatlings, but you do not feed the sheep.


Perhaps, it would be best if they read the testimonies of those servants who have betrayed our Lord and are now in the cells of HELL! (http://www.spiritlessons.com/) Many are in HELL for stealing His Glory! If the title is to represent the anointing of the office, then let us walk in the calling and anointing and bear the FRUIT of the office. THERE ARE TOO MANY WALKING WITH PUFFED HEADS AND THEIR EYES GET WIDE AS THEY SEE THE MONEY IN THE OFFERING BAGS. Do they think it is their money? One must understand the responsibility and accountability that comes with a calling. Many preachers and their wives are ending up in HELL and what are apostles and prophets thinking? Are they thinking their jobs are easier?

Do not think just because you hear God that you do not have the ability to fall away. Apostle Judas was given the power to cast out demons with signs and wonders following. But Judas betrayed the Lord and fell away.

Acts 1:25 "To take the place in this ministry and receive the position of an apostle, from which Judas fell away and went astray to go [where he belonged] to his own [proper] place."

Do not think just because you are a Prophet, you are someone more special. God is no respector of men. If you disobey, you may be subject to His judgments more quickly. It is because you hear God more clearly and quickly that you will be held more accountable.

 1 Kings 13:14-24 "And went after the man of God. And he found him sitting under an oak, and he said to him, Are you the man of God who came from Judah? And he said, I am.15Then he said to him, Come home with me and eat bread. 16He said, I may not return with you or go in with you, neither will I eat bread or drink water with you in this place.17For I was told by the word of the Lord, You shall not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way that you came.18He answered, I am a prophet also, as you are. And an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with you to your house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied to him.19So the man from Judah went back with him and ate and drank water in his house.20And as they sat at the table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who brought him back.21And he cried to the man of God who came from Judah, Thus says the Lord: Because you have disobeyed the word of the Lord and have not kept the command which the Lord your God commanded you,22But have come back and have eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which the Lord said to you, Eat no bread and drink no water--your corpse shall not come to the tomb of your fathers.23And after the prophet of the house had eaten bread and drunk, he saddled the donkey for the man he had brought back.24And when he had gone, a lion met him by the road and slew him, and his corpse was cast in the way, and the donkey stood by it; the lion also stood by the corpse.

Apostles are called to preach the good news, promote obedience to the faith, lead people to accurate discernment, and make disciples.

Romans 1:1 FROM PAUL, a bond servant of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) called to be an apostle, (a special messenger) set apart to [preach] the Gospel (good news) of and from God,

Romans 1:5 (AMP)It is through Him that we have received grace (God's unmerited favor) and [our] apostleship to promote obedience to the faith and make disciples for His name's sake among all the nations,

Titus 1:1 PAUL, A bond servant of God and an apostle (a special messenger) of Jesus Christ (the Messiah) to stimulate and promote the faith of God's chosen ones and to lead them on to accurate discernment and recognition of and acquaintance with the Truth which belongs to and harmonizes with and tends to godliness,

1 Corinthians 12:28 So God has appointed some in the church [ for His own use]: first apostles (special messengers); second prophets (inspired preachers and expounders); third teachers; then wonder-workers; then those with ability to heal the sick; helpers; administrators; [speakers in] different (unknown) tongues.

Today, just as the world is leading many astray, many of God's servants create their own kingdoms and attempt to sit on God's throne. Instead of separating from the world, they are with the world cheering on the things of the world such as sports, drama, hollywood, and the other cares of the world.

All the servants of God whether you are in the five fold ministry or if you are just a lay believer called to OBEY, do not think we do not have the ability to fall away, become corrupted, or be deceived.

Many of you have been told you are this or that but many of you are still in your wildernesses. Humble yourself and seek His Face. Ask Him to teach you in all things. Do not let your pride get ahead of you.

YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THE TRUE SERVANTS OF GOD NOT BY HOW DOGMATIC THEY ARE ON AN ISSUE, DOCTRINE OR THEIR POSITIONS/TITLES. YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THEM BY THEIR ABILIY TO WALK IN LOVE AND HUMILIY. YOU WILL RECOGNIZE THEM BY THEIR ABILITY TO SERVE ONE ANOTHER INSTEAD OF WANTING TO BE SERVED.

Any servant of God must have the heart and willingness to DIE for the sheep. If they do not have such a heart, they will not inherit the Kingdom of God. It is time to wake up!! Let us return to the Biblical Fear of the Lord and SERVE Him trembling at His Word and Revering His commands.

Isaiah 66:2 (AMP)For all these things My hand has made, and so all these things have come into being [by and for Me], says the Lord. But this is the man to whom I will look and have regard: he who is humble and of a broken or wounded spirit, and who trembles at My word and reveres My commands

 (of course, I say "YOU" generically and not anyone specifically)

Modern Christians need to renew their minds to serve God and one another. They must have the attitude willing to wash the feet of others. But many would rather assimilate themselves with Western complacency. Many in western churches look at Grace with the same attitude of western culture...."ENTITLEMENTS"

Where is your mind to serve instead of having the mind to vegetate and want it ALL FOR FREE? Just like the world, everyone wants something for FREE or a Discount. Many rather go the LAZY way.
There is a cost to follow Jesus. It will cost you your LIFE. Yes, your way of Life.

You have more of a relationship with your couch, TV, and remote control than God. And you wonder why there is such chaos physically and spiritually in your life?

Do not listen to the lies of those who have crept into our ranks who promise freedom but yet they themselves are slaves to their own depravity. They promise healing yet they are sick themselves. They promise prosperity yet all they do is take take take and never give. They promise freedom from your addictions and bondage yet they have no Power of God but man made programs. They promise salvation but yet they condone SIN and they justify it by the work of the cross. They claim to know Truth yet their lives are in chaos. Where is the Freedom they preach for even themselves?

Seek Truth from the Holy Spirit. Run from evil and all Sin!! Run from all manner of Sin. STOP Compromising because you are afraid of what men may think of you. Turn away from SIN now before your heart hardens even further and you become DELUDED!!

2 Peter 2:10-15 (AMP)10And particularly those who walk after the flesh and indulge in the lust of polluting passion and scorn and DESPISE AUTHORITY. Presumptuous [and] daring [self-willed and self-loving creatures]! They scoff at and revile dignitaries (glorious ones) without trembling,11Whereas [even] angels, though superior in might and power, do not bring a defaming charge against them before the Lord.12But these [people]! Like unreasoning beasts, mere creatures of instinct, born [only] to be captured and destroyed, railing at things of which they are ignorant, they shall utterly perish in their [own] corruption [in their destroying they shall surely be destroyed],13Being destined to receive [punishment as] the reward of [their] unrighteousness [suffering wrong as the hire for their wrongdoing]. They count it a delight to revel in the daytime [living luxuriously and delicately]. They are blots and blemishes, reveling in their [a]deceptions and carousing together [even] as they feast with you.14They have eyes full of harlotry, insatiable for sin. They beguile and bait and lure away unstable souls. Their hearts are trained in covetousness (lust, greed), [they are] children of a curse [[b]exposed to cursing]!15 FORSAKING THE STRAIGHT ROAD THEY HAVE GONE ASTRAY; they have followed the way of Balaam [the son] of Beor, who loved the reward of wickedness.(A)

Jude 1:11-13 (AMP)11Woe to them! For they have run riotously in the way of Cain, and have abandoned themselves for the sake of gain [it offers them, following] the error of Balaam, and have perished in rebellion [like that] of Korah!(A)12These are hidden reefs (elements of danger) in your love feasts, where they boldly feast sumptuously [carousing together in your midst], without scruples providing for themselves [alone]. They are clouds without water, swept along by the winds; trees, without fruit at the late autumn gathering time--twice (doubly) dead, [lifeless and] plucked up by the roots;13Wild waves of the sea, flinging up the foam of their own shame and disgrace; wandering stars, for whom the gloom of eternal darkness has been reserved forever.

Peter and Jude are not talking about unbelievers or the heathens. They are referring to those who have become corrupted or have gone astray.

(Of course, I used the word, "you" generically :) )
