"And the chief priests and scribes sought how they might kill him; for they feared the people.
Then entered Satan into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.
And he went his way, and communed with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray him unto them." Luke 22:2-4
I read these verses today for my devotion, and as soon as I read them, I asked myself,
"Do I help the enemy?"
As a saved person, the Holy Spirit of God dwells in me, so I can never be possessed by any demonic entity, however, if I am not careful, I can yield myself over to the 'spirit' of Satan.
By carnal living, neglecting God's Word, hanging around the wrong crowd, going places I ought not to go; watching the wrong things, hearing the wrong things, helps the enemy.
Judas was not a saved man, yet the Bible tells us that he was 'numbered of the twelve.' He was with Jesus the entire time of His ministry.
This tells me that there are wolves among the sheep.
And then I read that Judas went to the very ones who were seeking to destroy Jesus; he communed with them, and he wanted to help them.
So, again, I had to ask myself, "Do I help the enemy?"
I help the enemy by:
A poor testimony-
Sin in my life-
Gossip-
Neglecting God's Word and prayer-
I help the enemy by NOT doing what I am supposed to do, and by doing what I'm NOT supposed to be doing
I help the enemy when I do not submit to my Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.
Satan has enough help from the lost-
I want to make sure I'm not among his Ranks-
But that's just me!
Ooo very good thoughts! I want to be on the Lords side❤️
