Betrayers of God’s true people (who follow Jesus Christ by KEEPING GOD’S Commandments - John 14) won’t just be the obvious ones who outwardly show condescension, anger and disdain. Often the source of betrayal will be people, like Judas as one of the twelve, who are in your inner circle. People who were seemingly your friends and family, who with duplicity acted as allies when in actuality they represented the enemy.
This is because if you are truly serving Christ, those who aren’t, those who as consequence have demonic spirits living within their souls, are now experiencing these demons ratcheting up the spirit of betrayal in them, for Satan knows his time is short (Revelation 12:12).
The demons know whatever purpose or mission God has you on and that you must be waylaid, delayed, attacked, distracted, diverted and destroyed from fulfilling it. Their demons desperately want you to go where they are going, that is to the permanent locale of the lake of fire that burns with brimstone, and if you aren’t in agreement with them and their chaos, why then they will try to create chaos for you that, if they can’t cause to join them in eternity, they certainly will try to prevent you from helping others to do so.
On an emotional level, those who will hurt you the most will be those who you thought you could trust. They often seemed as if they were nice people, amenable, but in the end they couldn’t help but betray you. They don’t love God so how is it possible for them to love someone God’s children? If the commandments are a light to us as to how to treat God and others, it is by default that those who don’t honor them will mistreat the people in their lives. So it just can’t be helped that you would be a target of their hurt because the default mechanism in a person not actively following Christ is to defer to sin.
This betrayal will even manifest between themselves and others who are in agreement with Satan as they jockey for position and clout, but it’s amazing how Satan can use them as a cohesive unit when necessary, and use them to keep the victim (or victims) trapped in a swirling vortex of chaos in order to accomplish his mission.
This is why Jesus said that a man’s foes shall be they of his own household, two against three, and three against two (Matthew 10:34-39). Even your own blood relatives, in fact, especially your own blood relatives, will turn on you in betrayal. And sometimes, it might be one of the ones you thought was part of your faction, part of the two against the three for example, who, for a time, had been right there with you and yet their own lack of commitment to Christ led to their betrayal of Him first as consequently of you. No servant is above his master. If they hate Him they’ll hate you (Matthew 10:24-25).
When that one you trusted betrays you though, the hurt is so palpable you could cut it with a knife.
Still, it can’t be helped. The selfishness and self-centeredness of all those who won’t make things right with God are characteristics that will only become more evident in these last days, so much so that betrayal will seem more common than that of loyalty or even indifference.
This is why it’s time for the children of God to recognize these behaviors in the people around us and, when God calls us to, do what we can to limit our exposure.
The main way to discern who the Judases is to see how they respond to your attempts, per Jesus’ Words, to get them to see they’ve done wrong to you (Matthew 18:15-17).
If they won’t recognize their wrong, nor repent, you know you have a betrayer. If they falsely accuse you (often of something they themselves are guilty of), you have a betrayer. I am counseling myself and all others that if there’s no attempt on the wrong doer’s part to make things right or to recognize the truth of their false accusation and make that right as well, then these people are not to be trusted. Even if they say they believe in Jesus, their behavior serves to prove that in application they don’t follow Him. Remember the devils know there’s one God and tremble (James 2:19) and so do phonies who save that have faith but no fruit of their behavior or works proves it out.
People who claim Christ but don’t obey Him can be liars and betrayers worse than those who don’t even acknowledge Jesus. Jesus said it this way,
“They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me” (Matthew 16:2-3).
A critical aspect to remember with a betrayer’s regard, especially with one who was your close knit friend, is that you must take the proper steps to get passed what they’ve done in order to heal, otherwise the betrayal can linger and fester and turn into unforgiveness in you. This may cause you to want to hurt them back. Don’t do this. Leave it all in God’s hands.
But do not let them or anyone else misappropriate God’s Word with regard to forgiveness to force you to resume fellowship with anyone who is unrepentant of the wrong that’s been done to you when Jesus made it clear to treat those who will not repent as “heathens and publicans” (Matthew 18:15-17). Satan is trying to keep you subjugated to the abuse of his minions through these liars who twist God’s Word to keep you there. Jesus’s process is simple: confront your wrong-doer yourself, if he won’t receive it, bring two or three with you, if he won’t receive it then, bring them before the Church. And if, after all of that, they won’t receive it, why then you MOVE ON and have nothing to do with them.
When dealing with family this may seem like a hard word, but continuing to expose yourself to these unrepentant Narcissists and Jezebels only creates more abuse and diversionary drama in your life to keep you from being able to serve God and minister the gospel to those who will receive it. That’s what these demon filled body bags are for. TO HURT AND DESTROY YOUR TESTIMONY. If you’ve lost peace in a relationship and are in constant torment, pray to the Father in Jesus’ name to help you GET AWAY. Even if you are wrong about what is causing the torment, some time away will be the only way to seek God without interference, to clear your mind and properly discern what’s going on.
Remember Jesus said, “I did not come to bring peace but a sword…a man’s foes shall be they of his own household…” (Matthew 10:34-36). The sword is one of division. Jesus is separating the sheep from the goats. And especially now as we are about to enter the first three and a half years of the tribulation, we must be on our purpose for God as the ones ministering the TRUE AND HOLY GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST (NOT PAUL!) because the time is short and there are so few people preaching the true gospel. It’s time for many of us to shake the dust off our feet (Matthew 10:14-15) from the people who God had, for a time, allowed us to be a light in their lives, and often to be servants to (because the greatest among us is the servant of all - Matthew 23:11-12) but they so often took advantage of and abused us.
It’s time to begin to surround ourselves with like minded people who are trying to progress the kingdom of God in the same way as you. If you can’t find other people like that, pray that God would bring them. Many of you are alone, and you feel that aloneness to your core. What I am telling you now may sound harsh, but I say it to myself, STOP WHINING AND COMPLAINING about being alone! YOU ARE NOT ALONE for the Father is with you (John 8:16, 16:32).
YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH WHO ACTUALLY KNOWS GOD! And I say this to myself, stop being such a little, whiny BITCH, suck it up, and proceed serving Him with JOY because YOU KNOW HIM, KNOW WHAT HE REQUIRES, and inasmuch as you stay in agreement with Him, that you’ve inherited eternity. You’ve solved the riddle of this life and will have an eternity in bliss. Don’t let Satan trick you into being down and depressed about your earthly circumstances. Rejoice in God!
Still, in these last days many of us will be brought together in small “families” of like minded Believers, but as long as you are alone stop the whining and self-pity about because that self-pity opens the door to demons, and those demons will cause you to drop your discernment about people and throw caution to the wind so that in your loneliness you will bring those very betrayers back into your life just so you can have some company. And this is where so many of us go wrong. We compromise the wisdom of God to keep company with sinners who hate God. Why should we be surprised when after the love bombing stage they turn us? Sinners can’t help it, they’re fully demonized.
I know I’ve used some harsh language, but you have to stop the whining and embrace the fact that you know God and unlike most can love and serve Him and that’s worth more than anything this life has to offer. You’ve found the hidden treasure, quit pouting like you opened the treasure box and found dirt and worms!!! How insulting to God when we do this!!!
But back to our main point, Jesus warned that there will be people who will kill or try to kill us who will think they do God service. Again, they actually serve Satan, and they will be serving their little g god to do so, (just like Paul was sent to kill and then trick Believers to HATE God’s Law while making up his own!)
If you as true Believer in the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ think you might be exempt of this, at this point you obviously know or at least are learning otherwise now that betrayal is more common than loyalty. Jesus put it this way,
“Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you” (Matthew 5:10-12).
You won’t be able to ride the fence and keep peace with everyone any more. You will have to declare your side, go to it and move with that side from now on. So many Believers want everyone to like them. THIS IS JUST NOT POSSIBLE when so many people are just flesh body bags for the most hateful, evil, diabolical creatures in existence - demons! You can’t make peace with them! This is not possible. They don’t understand reason. They love chaos and death. The demons HATE YOU and, as a consequence, so do their hosts! They are full of hatred!!! GET AWAY from them unless God is directly leading you otherwise. At this juncture in history it’s time to stop putting your blood family above your real family: the family of God!
“Then came to him (Jesus) his mother and his brethren, and could not come at him for the press. And it was told him by certain which said, Thy mother and thy brethren stand without, desiring to see thee. And he answered and said unto them, My mother and my brethren are these which hear the word of God, and do it” (Luke 8:19-21).
