THE JUDAS SPIRIT. matt 26-14-16 Luke 22-1-6 john 13-18-30.

ITS A SAD FACT THAT MANY IN THE BODY WOULD BETRAY THEIR BROTHERS IN CHRIST FOR MONEY POWER - POSITION - JEALOUSY - WHAT THEY THINK IS THE TRUTH - JUST AS JUDAS BETRAYED JESUS FOR 30 PIECES OF SILVER.

I CALL THIS THE JUDAS SPIRIT.

SO OFTEN WE SEE THE LORD RAISING UP SOMEONE IN THE BODY ONLY TO HAVE OTHERS PUT THEM DOWN - CONTROL THEM - KILL THEM IN THE SPIRIT BY USING THE WORD OF GOD.

THERE ARE MANY THAT HAVE GOT THEMSELVES IN POSITIONS THAT SHOULD NOT BE THERE.

SO MANY TIMES I HAVE SEEN A PERSONS ATTITUDE CHANGE WHEN THEY ARE GIVEN A POSITION - WHY IS THIS I THINK - ITS BECAUSE OF A SPIRIT THAT IS IN THE CHURCH - ITS LIKE THEY HAVE BEEN POSSESSED.

I HAVE HEARD THINGS SAID LIKE - I AM ABOVE YOU - I AM HERE BECAUSE I HAVE GOT IT AND YOU HAVE NOT - I HAVE A BETTER EDUCATION THAN YOU I CAN SPEAK BETTER THAN YOU - I HAVE BEEN TO BIBLE SCHOOL - ONLY LEADERS CAN DO THAT - YOU DON'T LOOK RIGHT FOR THE LORD TO USE YOU - YOU ARE DANGEROUS - YOU HAVE TO BE CONTROLLED - AND MANY MORE.

THIS GOES AGAINST THE WORD OF GOD - FOR GOD USES THE WEAK THINGS OF THIS WORLD - USES THE THINGS THAT ARE NOT - THE DESPISED THINGS OF THIS WORLD TO BRING TO NOTHING THE THINGS THAT ARE.

THERE IS SO MUCH THAT IS MASQUERADING AS THINGS OF THE SPIRIT BUT ARE NOT - ITS JUST THE FLESH - MANS PRIDE - THE DECEPTIONS OF THE HEART - FOR THE HEART OF MAN IS DESPERATELY WICKED.

FOR GOD OPPOSES THE PROUD - BUT RAISES UP THE HUMBLE.

THAT'S THE REASON THERE IS SO MUCH DIVISION - FOR LACK OF REAL UNITY IS BECAUSE OF THIS.

FOR THERE IS NO PREFERRING OF EACH OTHER - NO LAYING DOWN OUR LIVES FOR EACH OTHER - NO TAKING UP OF OUR CROSSES - TAKING UP OF OUR CROSSES FOR EACH OTHER - FOR WE SHOULD GIVE WITHOUT THINKING WHAT WE CAN GET FROM GOD AND EACH OTHER - GIVE AND NOT LET THE LEFT HAND KNOW WHAT RIGHT HAND IS DOING - AND THAT DOES NOT MEAN JUST MONEY - BUT EVERYTHING.

FOR CHRIST GAVE UP EVERYTHING FOR US - HE GAVE UP ALL THE GLORY OF HEAVEN TO BE BORN AS WE ARE BORN - BORN IN A DIRTY STABLE - FOR HE LIVED AS WE LIVED - YET WITHOUT SIN.

HE THEN WENT AROUND DOING HIS FATHERS WILL - HEALING THE SICK - CASTING OUT DEMONS - RAISING THE DEAD - ALL THE WHILE BEING HATED BY THE THINGS THAT ARE - HATED BY THE PHARISEES OF THE WORLD - HATED BY PEOPLE DOING THE THINGS THAT I HAVE DESCRIBED ABOVE.

IF JESUS WALKED INTO MANY OF OUR FELLOWSHIPS - WE WOULD DO THE VERY THINGS THAT THEY DID TO HIM - THAT MANY DO TO EACH OTHER IN HIS BODY - FOR WE WOULD NOT RECOGNISE HIM - WE WOULD PROBABLY TELL HIM HE NEEDS MINISTRY - YOU CANT DO THAT - YOU HAVE NOT BEEN TRAINED - YOU DON'T LOOK THE RIGHT KIND OF PERSON - AND SO ON.

THE VERY THINGS THAT MUCH OF TODAY'S CHURCH IS DOING TO HIS SHEEP.

THE THINGS THAT MANY THINK ARE GOOD AND OF GOD.

JESUS THEN DIED A SINNERS DEATH ON THE CROSS - PUT THERE BY VERY PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED GOOD PEOPLE TODAY - PUT THERE BY OUR SIN.

THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD BEATEN HIM - BUT ON THE THIRD DAY HE ROSE BODILY FROM THE GRAVE AND SET THE PRISONERS FREE - ROSE TO SET YOU FREE.

YET TODAY WE STILL ACT LIKE THE PHARISEES TOWARDS THE LORD - TOWARDS EACH OTHER.

FOR WHEN WE DO AS I DESCRIBED EARLIER - WE ARE REALLY HATING THE LORD - WE ARE TRAMPLING THE SON - TRAMPLING THE BLOOD UNDERFOOT

HATING EACH OTHER.

I CALL ON YOU MY PEOPLE TO REPENT - TO STOP BITING EACH OTHER - TO PUT AWAY AMBITION AND PRIDE - TO STOP LORDING IT OVER EACH OTHER TO OPEN YOUR HEARTS UNTO ME.

TO REPENT - PRAY - SUBMIT YOURSELVES TO ME - THEN I WILL HEAL YOUR LAND - WILL HEAL YOU.

FOR THE TIME IS SHORTER THAN YOU THINK - FOR IF YOU DON'T STOP BITING AND HATING EACH OTHER - YOU WILL FALL - YOU WILL BE JUDGED.

FOR I AM THE RIGHTEOUS JUDGE.

FOR I SAY TO YOU - PUT ON LOVE - NOT YOUR LOVE - BUT MY LOVE - FOR PERFECT LOVE COVERS OVER MANY SINS.

COME - REPENT - DO NOT BE LIKE THE PHARISEES - WHO HATED ME WITH HARD HEARTS - WHO HATED EVEN EACH OTHER.

FOR IF YOU HATE YOU BROTHER WHOM YOU CAN SEE BEFORE YOU - HOW CAN YOU LOVE ME - YOUR GOD WHOM YOU CANNOT SEE.

COME REPENT - DROP YOUR SINS AT THE CROSS.

REPENT SO THAT I CAN TAKE THAT HARD HEART FROM YOU - TAKE IT AND GIVE YOU A NEW HEART SAYS THE LORD.

FOR CHASTISE THOSE WHOM I LOVE.

COME REPENT - JOIN WITH ME - JOIN WITH ME IN SPIRIT AND UNITY.

FOR WISH TO POUR OIL UPON YOU MY PEOPLE - FOR HOW GOOD AND PLEASANT IT IS WHEN BROTHERS LIVE TOGETHER IN UNITY!

ITS IS LIKE PRECIOUS OIL POURED ON THE HEAD - RUNNING DOWN ON THE BEARD - RUNNING DOWN ON AARON'S BEARD - DOWN UPON THE COLLAR OF HIS ROBES - DOWN UPON YOUR ROBES SAYS THE LORD.

IT IS AS IF THE DEW OF HERMON WERE FALLING ON MOUNT ZION - FALLING UPON YOU.

FOR ITS THERE THAT I BESTOW MY BLESSING - EVEN LIFE FOR EVER MORE.

COME - REPENT - PUT AWAY THE SPIRIT OF THE PHARISEES - CAST OUT THE JUDAS SPIRIT FROM YOU - CAST HIM OUT AND BE CLEAN AND HOLY BEFORE ME.

FOR HE WHO IS HOLY LOVES MUCH - FORGIVES MUCH - FOR HE WHO HAS BEEN FORGIVEN MUCH - LOVES MUCH AND IS HOLY BEFORE ME SAYS THE LORD.

COME - REPENT - FOR I AM WAITING FOR YOUR REPLY - WAITING TO FORGIVE YOU - COME - FOR MY ARMS ARE OPEN WIDE.

COME - FOR TODAY IS THE DAY OF SALVATION - THE DAY OF VICTORY - THE DAY OF FORGIVENESS.

PUT AWAY THE PAST - FOR THIS IS A NEW DAY - IF YOU WILL REPENT.

FOR WANT NON TO PERISH - BUT ALL TO HAVE NEW LIFE IN ME.

COME SAYS THE LORD COME - FOR I AM WAITING FOR YOU - COME.
