Are you experiencing betrayal?

In the midst of a storm.
When I feel betrayed by my loved ones, Lord
Help me to promptly forgive them and turn them over to You.
Lord please place your hand on the heads of my loved ones.
Please give them peace and help them not to be afraid.
Let them know that you love them.
Draw them closer to You.
 
Satan loves to get in between people.
It is hard to recognize Satan's entrance,
but you can see his fingerprints in the lives of people.
When you follow the desires of your sinful nature,
your lives will produce these evil results:
sexual immoratlity, impure thoughts,
eagerness for lustful pleasure,
idolatry, parrticipation in demonic activities,
hostility,
quarreling, jealousy,
outburst of anger, selfsih ambition, divisions,
the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group,
envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin.
Galations 5:19-21
Another early warning sign is reflected in the way
satan acted toward God.   He wanted to be like the most High.
Isaiah 14. 
 
 
 
 
Pride.
It almost always involves betrayal.
A betrayer askes,
what is in this for me?
Be humble  thinking of others as better than yourself.
If we follow the example of love,
we will likely experience betrayal
because loving others makes us vulnerable.
But loving and following God will protect your character so that
you won't become a Judas too.
-Stephen Arterburn
