7th Day: Judas’ kiss

“And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, ‘Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him.’”Matthew 26.47-48

Let me explain the bigger picture of what happened in this passage. Judas represents those who say they are of God, when in fact they do not have anything to do with Him. Instead, they are used as instruments of the devil to get involved with a young man or woman (an assistant or member), who sincerely wants to hold on to their salvation.

They come with a mob of demons, armed to the teeth, to destroy these precious souls that belong to the Lord Jesus by making them anxious about their love life.

A large number of people in the church have recently been the target of Judas’ kiss—especially women, who are more sensitive to emotion, and even assistants. This happens for the simple reason that their spiritual eyes are heavy with sleep, like Peter, James and John,Matthew 26.43.

"Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand." Matthew 26.46

Jesus was "watching and praying”. In other words, He was not arming himself against a satanic attack from Zacchaeus, an unbeliever and a thief, nor from the woman caught in adultery and much less from the sinners He ate with, but from someone who lived with him, who appeared to have faith, but who, deep down, was of the devil. "Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?" John 6.70

And isn’t this what we’ve seen lately? False assistants, false church members, false Christians that dress up in Christian clothing and exploit the emotional needs of their victims. They approach them in a sneaky, deceitful way, with demons close by just waiting for a sign: "Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him."

They approach you with sweet, beautiful words, just like Judas did to Jesus: "Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

The Lord Jesus was watchful and was in spirit. But what about you, Assistants? And you, single men and women that want to be happy in your love life, who want to get married and have a family? There is nothing wrong with wanting these things, however, let me warn you: be careful about getting anxious, "Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." Matthew 26.41

Spirit: reason, intelligence
Flesh: heart, emotions
The devil continues to search for precious souls (assistants, etc...) to whom he can give “Judas’ kiss”.
