"THE SPIRIT OF JUDAS"

Pastors there are those who seemingly agree with you publicly, but in secret align themselves with the forces that are against you. This is "THE SPIRIT OF JUDAS (Mar 14:10)."

Appearing faithful, they are nothing more then two-faced agents. Many of which believe they are actually doing you a favor by falsely supporting you, not privily to the fact that it is by their error a portal is open to your enemies.

Being deceived and deceitful they honestly believe that because you show them love, you are not aware of this hidden agenda. They look and act like wheat, but they are off beat, being tare.

Therefore, be wise and note their fruit (Lk 6:44). What is the quality of their family lives? Do they bring in living sheep? Do they chummy up to everyone, even those they think or say are against you or The LORD? How well do they receive rebuke? Who do they align themselves with? These some the tale-tell signs of "THE JUDAS SPIRIT?"

As pastors we have an acute sense of discernment given as an endowment (1 Cor 12:10). When Judas and Peter both betrayed our LORD, this came as no surprise to MESSIAH.

So then, counsel, teach, exhort, rebuke them and by all means pray for them. But, never allow the access to your inner circle. ~Blessings!
