BACKSTABBERS, BACKBITERS, AND BETRAYERS
Matthew 26:14-16 “Then one of the twelve, called Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests, and said to them, “What will you give me, and I will deliver Jesus unto you?” And they covenanted with him for thirty pieces of silver. And from that time on HE SOUGHT OPPORTUNITY TO BETRAY HIM.”
1 Timothy 4:1-2 “Now the Spirit speaks expressly, that in these latter times, some will depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having seared their conscience with a hot iron..”
WHY TEACH ON THIS?
1 Timothy 4:6 “If you put the brethren in awareness of these things; you shall be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in words of faith and good doctrine..”
· We must be reminded about seducing spirits and especially those that have been seduced!
· The demonic will use anything and anyone to demobilize God’s plan and people.
1 John 4: 1 “Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but TEST THE SPIRITS, whether they are of God”
· Most people never discern the “PRINCIPALITY” they simply regard the “PERSONALITY”.
· This is very UNWISE and shifts DEMONIC SEDUCTION to PERSONAL RESENTMENT!
· While a person is suffering relationally, the enemy is free to continue the delusion and destruction.
· The KNOWN PERSONALITY is not your problem; the HIDDEN PRINCIPALITY is your enemy.
· 1 Timothy 4:1 warns that these seducing spirits will cause “SOME TO DEPART FROM THE FAITH” and continue to “GIVE HEED” to demonic lies. (STRONGHOLDS)
· Resentment, forgiveness, bitterness, and continued grudges are the result of believing a ‘DEMONIC LIE” instead of “GOD’S TRUTH”.
Ephesians 6:10-12 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the WILES OF THE DEVIL. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rules of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.”
· Scripturally, we are NOT TO STRUGGLE with other people but with the dark demonic in our midst.
· The REGIONAL PRINCIPALITIES are counting on the FACT THAT MOST will not REGARD THE FACT THAT THE DEMONIC is seducing the NATURAL MIND.
· Resenting MERE PEOPLE and IGNORING THE DEMONIC is futile and destructive for a lifetime!
· No one has power and authority over people, but every believer has power and authority over every demon.
1 Peter 5:8 “Be sober, be vigilant; because the demonic, as a roaring lion, walks about, seeking whom he may devour.”
· Your NATURAL MIND is the battleground that the demonic seeks to penetrate and dominate.
· The demonic weapons are “FIERY DARTS” shot into your “THINKING PROCESSES” and hinder with defilement your communication with the HOLY SPIRIT.
Ephesians 6:16 “Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you will be able to QUENCH ALL THE FIERY DARTS of the wicked demonic.”
· Your enemy desires to KEEP YOU IN STRIFE and distracted from your FAITH in obedience and action!
Titus 1:15 “Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto the DEFILED and UNBELIEVING nothing is pure; and EVEN THEIR MIND and CONSCIENCE is defiled.”
· The DEMONIC STRATEGY is pushing you into SPEAKING AGAINST familiar people and personal authorities.
James 3:14-16 “Bit if you have BITTERNESS and STRIFE in your hearts; glory not from above, and speak not against the truth. This wisdom did not descend from above, but it is earthly sensual, and DEVILISH. For where envying, and strife in, there is CONFUSION and EVERY EVIL WORK.”
· Watch out, discern the spirit, and refuse the seduction of becoming OFFENDED.
· Having your FEELINGS HURT, becoming DISAPPOINTED, and FEELING BETRAYED are NATURAL REACTIONS as relational beings.
· Becoming RESENTFUL, OFFENDED, and UNFORGIVING are spiritual choices to NOT OBEY KINGDOM TRUTH.
DON’T CELEBRATE FATHER’S DAY
John 8: 543-44 “Why don’t you understand my words? Even not listen to my commands. You are of your father the devil, and the desires of your father YOU WANT TO DO. He was a murderer from the beginning, and DOES NOT STAND IN THE TRUTH because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a lie, he speaks from his own resources, for he is a liar and the father of all lies.”
Revelation 12:10 “…for the accuser of the brethren is cast down, which accused them day and night before our God.”
· Follow the BIBLICAL INSTRUCTIONS of recognizing the enemy and obeying Christ!
Matthew 26:16 “And from that time on Judas sought opportunity to BETRAY JESUS.”
· Discern that this is a SPIRIT that drove Judas to betray Him.
· Judas, the man, died, but the BETRAYING SPIRIT is still seducing upon the earth.
· Judas was chosen to be among the twelve, but he didn’t the same attitude and heart of the others.
· He often QUESTIONED the decisions Jesus made with a seemingly higher perspective than Jesus had.
John 12:4-5 Then said one of His disciples, Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, which would betray Him, “Why was not this ointment sold for a high price, and the money given to the poor?”
· This spirit displays a superficial spirituality and voices concern for the poor and needy.
· This is a veiled indictment against CHARACTER, INTEGRITY, and MOTIVE.
Luke 22:21-23 “Behold, the hand that betrays me is with me at this table. And truly the Son of Man goes, as it was spoken; but woe to him by whom He was betrayed.” And the disciples began to enquire among themselves, which one of them should do such a thing.”
· The MOST DECEPTIVE characteristic of THIS BETRAYING DEMON is manifesting in a PERSON as an UNDETECTABLE PRETENDER.
· The OTHER ELEVEN never suspected Judas as a SECRET TRAITOR to Jesus and themselves.
· In every HUMAN GROUP there is someone PRETENDING to be a REAL CHRISTIAN, a REAL FRIEND, and a real ECT., virtually unrecognizable as DISLOYAL until exposed as destroyer.
John 13:21-22 When Jesus had said these things, He was TROUBLED IN SPIRIT, and testified, “Most assuredly, ONE OF YOU WILL BETRAY ME.” Then the disciples looked at one another, PERPLEXED about whom He spoke.”
· Even with Jesus pointing out Judas, the other disciples didn’t recognize the BETRAYER! This is HOW CONVINCING A BETRAYER is in hiding disloyalty!
· This DEMONIC SPIRIT not only seduces the betrayer that yields to it, but it also CONFUSES and DISILLUSIONS those involved.
· Discern clearly that the entire time Judas was with Jesus and the disciples he seemed to be completely one of the ministry team, but when he was with another group, he fit in with them also!
· The BETRAYED is “further betrayed” as the SPIRIT causes others you trusted to TAKE SIDE OF THE BETRAYER!
· Those defiled by this SPIRIT have “DUAL PERSONALITIES” and “DUAL DIALOGUES” versatile with WHOEVER they are in proximity.
John 13:18 Jesus said, “I know whom I have chosen; but that the Scripture may be fulfilled, He who has eats bread with Me has lifted up his heel against Me.”
John 13: 25-26 Then John leaning back on Jesus breast, said to Him, “Lord who is it that betrays You?” Jesus answered, “It is he to whom I shall give the sop to after I have dipped it.” And having dipped the bread, He gave it to Judas.”
LAST CHANCE TO REPENT
John 13:27 Now after the piece of bread, SATAN ENTERED HIM. Then Jesus dais to Judas, “What you do, do quickly.” But no one at the table knew for what reason Jesus said this to him.
· All the time Judas was selling Jesus out, he was staying with the disciples even to the LAST SUPPER, Jesus gives him opportunity to repent, but Judas kisses Jesus right in the presence of the disciples.
Luke 22:48 “Jesus said to him, “Judas, you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”
· This DEMON manifests stronger and bolder becoming familiar even with our intimate activities and locations.
John 18:2 “And Judas also, betrayed Him knowing the place Jesus would be; for Jesus often time resorted there with His disciples.”
· Judas used his memories of past intimate times with Jesus as a weapon against Him.
DEMONIC DESTRUCTION
· Eventually, BETRAYERS ruin their lives and never truly repent or recover.
Matthew 27:3-5 The Judas, which betrayed Jesus, when he saw that he was condemned, repented himself, and brought the thirty pieces of silver back to the priests and elders. Saying, I HAVE SINNED in that I HAVE BETRAYED innocent blood. And they said, “What is that to us? And he cast down the pieces of silver in the temple, and departed, and went and hanged himself.
· Notice in the scripture that Judas repented, but only to the WRONG PEOPLE.
· If BETRAYERS REPENT, they only repent to those they sinned with, rather that to those they sinned against.
BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
· Bind this spirit up and cast down every thought pertaining to disloyalty.
· Be strong and godly when this spirit in proximity to those already seduced.
