Why You Need A Judas In Your Life

Judas to Betray Jesus

And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them.

And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him.

The priests are troubled by Jesus this week:

Jesus has entered the city of Jerusalem and is given a city wide praise with the people crying Hosanna, Hosasnna blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Jesus cleanses the Temple of the money changers and rebukes them claiming the Temple as his house; My house shall be called the house of prayer and you have made it a den of thieves.

Jesus gives the parables of the Two Sons and The Tenants of the vineyard Now the chief priests and the Pharisees were angered to the point of even more desiring to kill Jesus (for they were intent to kill Jesus after the resurrection of Lazarus.)

However because of the people and the time of the oncoming feast they had to be subtle in their plan.

They needed Jesus delivered into their hands so they would appear just in their evil conspiracy.

Here is where Judas comes into play for he will lead the sacrificial lamb into the hands of the slayers.

Yes it is Judas who will help Jesus gain access to the dreaded cross of suffering.

But don’t hate Judas too much because Judas aids Christ in his ascension to glory and power, bringing salvation to all mankind. And making his name a name that is now above any name in heaven or in earth.

Oh yes it takes that Judas in your life to push you into that suffering breakthrough in which God then has to release that blessing and anointing that He has held in his treasure for you.

But you could not get that blessing or that breakthrough until you went into and through the suffering , that sacrifice, and then God gave you the overflow.

But God needed a Judas, a betrayer, a hate,r to aid the enemy to bruise me and take from me.

But if they did not bruise me; God could not give the healing that He had laid up for me.

If they did not take from me; then God could not replenish me with double.

You need to tell somebody, Don’t take my Judas from me......I need to get to my destiny.

Yes Judas is going to cause me pain, Judas will cause suffering, some things are going to be taken from me and even there will some death of things.

But because I have favour with God, he has predestined my elevation, but it has to go through a cross of suffering.

Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.

Yea, and all that will live godly in Christ Jesus shall suffer persecution.

13. After Job suffered and was abandoned my his wife and unfairly condemned by his friends, God reversed the tide and blessed him with more children and beautiful daughters and gave him back double of what he had lost.

14. There is a quiet before the storm but after the storm there is a period of rebuilding.

15. And after the rebuild you have a better house that what was destroyed.

16. The appliances were older or even outdated but the rebuild has to replace with current models.

17. That’s why I don’t want you to stop Judas. Let Judas do his work.

18. Jesus at the table told Judas what you have to do do it quickly.

19. I know that after you betray me I’ll go to the chief priests. After the Priests I’ll go to Pilate and after Pilate and the people I’ll go the cross and after the cross I’ll go to the grave and after the grave I’ll be resurrected and go to the Father and sit on the right hand in power and authority for ever.

20. That’s why Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

21. Don’t stop my Judas, I need him to get my breakthrough........

22. Leave him alone he doesn’t know that he is just a part of the set up for my overflow, my promotion, my new home, my healing, my fresh anointing from God......
