Satan Entered Judas.
But How?
“Then entered Satan (who?!) into Judas surnamed Iscariot, being of the number of the twelve.” Luke 22:3
Just how did Satan actually get access to one of Jesus’ 12? Have you wondered that? ….. Well, as usual, we must look at the whole of God’s Word to discover this – “precept upon precept; line upon line,” … “comparing (collating, putting together) spiritual things with spiritual.” (Isaiah 28:10, 13; 1 Corinthians 2:13) … Read the following verse of Holy Scripture and see if you can decipher why Judas, after walking with Jesus, being sent by Jesus to do His work, being specifically hand selected by the very Son of God, betrayed Christ: “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7) Do and memorize this verse of divine truth. Judas was invaded by Satan only due to his own deliberate neglecting of proper, intimate fellowship with the Son of God. When the disciples were supposed to be praying, they slept. This led to Peter’s denial of Christ and Judas’ betraying the Son of God. Peter chose to repent and Judas didn’t. The same applies to all who’ve been saved today. God grants all men free will and wishes that none perish (Deuteronomy 30:19; Joshua 24:15; 2 Peter 3:9). This is the difference for those two – one repented and the other refused. The same will be the case for millions who were once saved and then forfeited their place with God due to not keeping Jesus first (Revelation 2:4-5; Matthew 25:1-13, etc.). See Mark 14 and 1 John 1:2-2:2.
THIS IS SIMPLE. IT’S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE. THE WAY JUDAS FELL AND COMMITTED THE MOST SINISTER BETRAYAL IN HISTORY IS THE EXACT SAME WAY YOU AND I HAVE FALLEN AND BETRAYED CHRIST AT TIMES. YOU MUST REMAIN BUILT UP IN CHRIST THROUGH DAILY COMMUNION WITH HIM IN PRAYER AND IN HIS WORD. WE ARE NO MATCH FOR SIN AND SATAN. WE MUST BE CONSUMED WITH THE POWER OF JESUS CHRIST TO OVERCOME (ROMANS 8:12-14, ETC.).

“Pray without ceasing.” 1 Thessalonians 5:
“Men ought always to pray, and not to faint.” Luke 18:1
“But ye, beloved, building up yourselves on your most holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghost.” Jude 20
“Seek the LORD and his strength, seek his face continually.” 1 Chronicles 16:11
Now, when we, the very children of God, bought by Christ’s very blood, stay upon the LORD, He fills us and we not only are prevented from betraying Jesus but also are anointed to bear good fruit in doing His work.
Why does the Bible tell us king Rehoboam “did evil”?
“And he did evil, BECAUSE BECAUSE BECAUSE he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.” 2 Chronicles 12:14
Rehoboam betrayed the LORD by not keeping his heart prepared before Him in daily communion. King Rehaboam betrayed the LORD in doing evil due to his refusal to spend quality, honest-hearted time with the LORD. It’s just that simple. How is the heart of the LORD’s child prepared before Him daily to love, worship, and serve Him? Jesus told us right here in Matthew 26:41 when He instructed us: “Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Prayer.
Also, we become strong and “grow” as we daily ingest the very Words of God:
“As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby.” 1 Peter 2:2
What happens when the LORD’s servants diligently prepare their hearts before Him? In others words they seek His holy face unrelentingly …..
“For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the LORD, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments.” Ezra 7:10
As we see here with the LORD’s servant Ezra, he was blessed to do the Word (law) and to “teach” it by reason of preparing his heart before God. Ezra stayed upon the LORD (Isaiah 10:20; 50:10).
“If a man therefore purge himself from these, he shall be a vessel unto honour, sanctified, and meet (fit) for the master’s use, and PREPARED unto every good work.” 2 Timothy 2:21
As we see in the verse above, preparation determines just how powerfully God can use us as individuals.
SIFTING HAPPENS IN STAGES. FALLING AWAY BEGINS IN AN INSTANT – UPON NEGLECTING FELLOWSHIP WITH THE ONE WHO SAVED US! READ MARK 14 CLOSELY. NOTICE WHAT LED TO PETER’S DENIAL OF CHRIST IN THE LATER PORTION OF THIS CHAPTER. LIFE LESSON FOR US! PETER AND THE OTHER DISCIPLES OF JESUS FELL ASLEEP INSTEAD OF PRAYING. THEY NEGLECTED THEIR FELLOWSHIP TIME WITH THE LORD AND THEREFORE HAD NOT OIL, NO DIVINE VIRTUE AND STRENGTH TO FACE THE TEMPTATION THAT LIED AHEAD. MEMORIZE JESUS’ WORDS IN MATTHEW 26:41.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, in Jesus’ holy name I come before You. I repent right now for committing the sin of idolatry by not keeping You as first love and first priority of my existence, my life You gave and for which I shall give account. Please forgive me Father in Jesus’ name. You are in Heaven and I upon Your earth. I want to know and to truly please You in all things and I know that is all rooted in knowing You. Bless me to know You, to fear, and to serve You truly. Break me LORD! Bless me to break up the fallow ground and grant Thy servant a heart of flesh. In the name of Jesus Christ, amen.

The Essential of Forgiveness: Are Your Hands Around Someone Else’s Throat? [podcast]

Forgiveness is ultra important to God. If you don’t forgive all others, you are not forgiven of your own sin and are as sure for hell as if you were already there. If you refuse to forgive you damn your own soul, non-negotiably. irrevocably.
GOD SAW IT ALL – HE SAW ALL YOUR SIN AND YET YOU HOLD UNFORGIVENESS TOWARD ANOTHER. IF you want to be forgiven, you MUST forgive. Do it now (Mark 11:25-26). Begin by admitting aloud to God what He already knows – that you are pure evil and have sinned against Him innumerable times! cry out to Him for mercy and declare aloud that no one needs Jesus more than you do!
“Harboring unforgiveness against someone else is like drinking poison and hoping the other person dies.” unknown
The reason people have a hard time forgiving, is that they’ve not yet been brought to the place in God to realize just how wicked THEY themselves are – and how merciful God was when He sent His only begotten Son to die for them “WHILE we (they) were yet sinners.” (Romans 5:6-8)
Outside of Christ’s righteousness, YOU are utterly wicked and depraved in the eyes of a holy God (Jeremiah 17:9; Romans 3, 7). When this finally sinks down into your heart, you will immediately and freely forgive all you’ve harbored ill will against – in utter forgiveness. This breaking all begins when we repent (Acts 3:19).
The sins that should concern us the most, are our own!
People who don’t forgive simply do not realize just how wicked they themselves are.
God will not forgive the sins of any person who refuses to forgive all others – from their heart (Matthew 18:21-35; Mark 11:25-26, etc.). Unforgiveness is non-negotiably, irrefutably, soul damning sin.
ANYone who doesn’t forgive EVERYone is going to hell irrevocably! Matthew 18:21-35
GOD mercifully forgive each of us, His children, not on our own merit or behalf, but rather on the perfect behalf of Christ Jesus! He now requires us to freely forgive all others as He mercifully forgave us. Non-negotiably saints.
We shall not receive divine mercy unless we freely show it to others (Mark 11:25-26). And anyone who denies this calls the son of God a liar.
Father, please forgive my hardness of heart, my obstinance, my heart rebellion. Please forgive my gross sins and grant this heart to be a heart of flesh dear LORD. In Jesus’ name, amen.
“Unforgiveness is poison to your soul. I see many who think by holding hatred and anger they are hurting the person they are mad at! But it damns their own soul! And will destroy you from the inside out! That is God’s judgment if we choose not to forgive.” Karen Cochran
The Parable of the Unforgiving Servant: A Parable is Simple an Earthly Story with a Heavenly Meaning. Matthew 18:21-35
Mat 18:21 Then came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times?
Mat 18:22 Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven.
Mat 18:23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened unto a certain king, which would take account of his servants.
Mat 18:24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was brought unto him, which owed him ten thousand talents.
Mat 18:25 But forasmuch as he had not to pay, his lord commanded him to be sold, and his wife, and children, and all that he had, and payment to be made.
Mat 18:26 The servant therefore fell down, and worshipped him, saying, Lord, have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mat 18:27 Then the lord of that servant was moved with compassion, and loosed him, and forgave him the debt.
Mat 18:28 But the same servant went out, and found one of his fellowservants, which owed him an hundred pence: and he laid hands on him, and took him by the throat, saying, Pay me that thou owest.
Mat 18:29 And his fellowservant fell down at his feet, and besought him, saying, Have patience with me, and I will pay thee all.
Mat 18:30 And he would not: but went and cast him into prison, till he should pay the debt.
Mat 18:31 So when his fellowservants saw what was done, they were very sorry, and came and told unto their lord all that was done.
Mat 18:32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, said unto him, O thou wicked servant, I forgave thee all that debt, because thou desiredst me:
Mat 18:33 Shouldest not thou also have had compassion on thy fellowservant, even as I had pity on thee?
Mat 18:34 And his lord was wroth (furious), and delivered him to the tormentors, till he should pay all that was due unto him.
Mat 18:35 So likewise shall my heavenly Father do also unto you, if ye from your hearts forgive not every one his brother their trespasses.
Forgiving others is essential to answered prayer. It’s a non-negotiable, divinely required condition.
“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them. 25 And when ye stand praying, FORGIVE, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. 26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.” Mark 11:24-26

God blesses those who read His Word
“Blessed is he that readeth” Revelation 1:3
“Seek ye out of the book of the LORD, and READ.” Isaiah 34:16
YES God’s people are to “study” His Word and how else to do such than to begin by “READING” His words? 2 Tim 2:15
“Till I come, give attendance to READING, to exhortation, to doctrine.” 1 Timothy 4:13
“Bless is he that READETH ….” Revelation 1:3
Years ago I found that if I don’t get up early to read God’s Word and spend quality moments in prayer first and foremost, it will never happen. God must be put first and this requires ruthless discipline.
“But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” Matthew 6:33
Reading all of God’s Word is the priority of ever astute follower of Jesus.
There’s no way to learn God’s Word other than reading it yourself (2 Timothy 2:15) God gave you His Word in tangible format in order for you to learn of Him from Him and by Him. Those who leave it to others to teach them God’s Word are self-deceived and will be misled by those they depend on to teach them the Bible.
Saints, in order that some may be encouraged, below, let’s talk about our current personal Bible reading…..
“Presently, I am in 1 Kings, reading all the way through the Bible again, and also reading through Revelation backwards. Personally I like to read several chapters every morning to begin the day and like to include OT, Poetic books, and New Testament chapter readings….. along with pouring over passages like 1 Cor 13; Phil 2:3-5; Col. 3:1-4, 12-14;” Todd
“In 1 Thessalonians reading through the Bible.” Jason
“I am reading Mark.” Michele
“Philippians—Paul’s letter in prison—and joy.” Joe
“I Been Reading James And 1st An 2nd Peter This Week.” Connie
“Working my way through 1 Sam (ch 14 finished now) Psalms 77 and John chapter 4 finished. Trying to read through in 6 months. I enjoy listening (KJB on YouTube) while I read also.” Nathan
“Thank you. Very edifying podcast. I remember getting away from God’s Word. When I came back I was told to read Psalm 119. I spent probably a year in it. And it is impossible not to see the love David had for the Word of God. That began to spill out into my heart! Now I never miss a day. Everyday the Holy Spirit gives me new revelations! And I keep saying ‘Jesus thank You so much for putting the love for You and Your precious Word in the hearts of Your people! We can’t do it. It comes from the Spirit of God.” Karen Cochran

AI TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT?

By Stacy Strother
AI TECHNOLOGY IS WHAT!?
The Bible doesn’t mention AI by name, but its warnings about deception, control, and false images in the last days speak directly to the dangers technology could bring.
Look at Revelation 13:14-15 (KJB):
“And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles… saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast… And he had power to give life unto the IMAGE of the beast, that the IMAGE of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the IMAGE of the beast should be killed.”
In the original Greek, “IMAGE” (eikon) means a likeness, simulation, or even an artificial representation. The text says this image is given “breath” (pneuma) so it can speak. Today, that sounds like AI—an artificial system that can “speak” and even influence or control people, becoming something people look to for answers or even authority.
REFUTE THIS PLEASE!
Jesus warned in Matthew 24:24 (KJV):
“For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall DECEIVE the very elect.”
The Greek for “deceive” (planao) means to lead astray or seduce—exactly what can happen if the masses start trusting an AI system that doesn’t actually know truth, only what’s common or popular.
Almost sounds like cultish celebrity followings, right?
Paul wrote in 2 Timothy 3:1, 7 (KJB):
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come… Ever learning, and NEVER ABLE to COME to the KNOWLEDGE of the TRUTH.”
This describes our world—where knowledge explodes, but discernment and real truth get lost. AI can gather endless information but cannot provide spiritual wisdom, EVEN THOUGH, people will flock to it to get it!
Daniel prophesied in Daniel 12:4 (KJB):
“…Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”
The Hebrew word for “knowledge” (da‘ath) means skill and discernment, but today we see more INFORMATION than ever—without the FOUNDATION of truth.
All of these passages warn us: the last days will be MARKED by artificial IMAGES, persuasive DECEPTION, and overwhelming INFORMATION without wisdom.
AI fits right into this picture—a tool that could be used by the “beast system” to control, deceive, and subtly SHIFT doctrine AWAY FROM the truth.
AGAIN—It’s a reminder to walk in the Spirit and test everything by God’s unchanging Word, not by artificial intelligence.
Stay Blessed!
If you are not ready to meet the Lord, please call on Him today and then pray for wisdom and discernment!
Blessings!
Stacy
