God’s Spirit enables those in a relationship with Him to recognize those with perverse intent. By relying on the Spirit, corrupt people seeking to destroy and exploit the faith of believers will be unable to mislead us. God warns that the end times will see an increase in adversity against His people, but He assures victory through His power and strength. We should not let our circumstances or spiritual failure discourage us. The basis of our spiritual success is the indwelling of the Holy Spirit and not our wisdom, strength, or ingenuity. God is more than able, He can cleanse us from every impurity, and His forgiveness allows us to stand before Him. — Jude 24-25
