Their Obscured Vision

Proverbs 13:25 ~ The righteous eats to satisfy his soul. But the stomach of the wicked shall be from evil.

Matthew 4:4 ~ But He answered and said, “It is written, “Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God.”

If Jesus would have listened, and then acted upon Judas’s convictions, his ministry would have gone totally different. He would have relented to a natural conviction and not his spiritual assignment. The moment we take God’s gift and purpose and begin sowing seeds into our own agendas we exchange God’s will for the will of the enemy. Soon we won’t only be led astray, but we will lead others as well.

Our priority is to seek, move and live by the spirit of God, not be led in ministry by our lofty imaginations and kingdoms we create because we thought Judas was supposed to give us advise while his assignment is to obscure the vision. The Judas’s that will present themselves at our ministry tables are to thrust us deeper into the spiritual assignment, not into those dark hidden crevices of our sinful nature, nor of the one(s) allowed to come alongside us. Pray the Lord help us to keep discernment close and impart well walking out His ministry He called us to. Gird your loins, and man your spiritual wall. (Nehemiah 4)

Judas’s were created to promote us, not to take us out! (Matt 27:5)

Read the Word. Judas ended differently, but let us be wise in knowing, he too was on assignment, and neither did he waver in the way to accomplish it, so let our walk not be hindered nor should we waver at the promises of God, (Romans 4:20).

Judas believed in Jesus, just as smoothly and calculated as the Judas' at our tables will believe, but it is coupled with evil intentions and doubts. His doubts can’t be greater than our calling and assignment, for before Judas appeared we were “called, and we knew the vision!”  

Be mindful, alert and watchful, and prayerful so to know how to navigate your Judas having a say, but not having a “vote!”

Judas never vouched to give his heart, he was chosen, and his assignment was to obscure the vision. Our job is to go pray and seek the Lord for how we are to respond to Judas’s obscurities in speech and deed, knowing again Judas has purpose, he is assigned, but doesn’t want a vote!  

Sad to say, it was only when it was too late that Judas truly met the everlasting beauty of Jesus in that dark room of his heart, in the presence of Jesus’s enemies, that he had succumbed to. Instead of confessing his err, and falling at the feet of the Messiah, he fell for the lie that occupied his heart, and not the truth of his Savior who would die on the Cross for his obscured convictions, and yet, he went and hung on his tree instead, while Jesus remained vision bound with purpose. (Matthew 27:5).

Until Next Time Beloved, Read the Word to Know Him!
