00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.240
Hello, friend, Chaplain Terry Warner here.
00:00:48.479 --> 00:00:50.799
Good morning to you, good day to you.
00:00:51.039 --> 00:00:54.000
This will be Leaving the Defeats Behind.
00:00:54.399 --> 00:01:00.159
It's season twenty twenty-five, and it will be episode forty-nine, I believe.
00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:03.439
Let me look here.
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:07.280
Yes, episode 49.
00:01:07.920 --> 00:01:09.840
Leaving the defeats behind.
00:01:10.719 --> 00:01:26.400
Your foundation scriptures is John 13, Psalm 41, John 6, Acts 2, did Jesus foresee a Judas and why did he allow it?
00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:31.439
If Jesus did Jesus foresee a Judas, and why did God allow it?
00:01:32.319 --> 00:01:36.640
They were at the evening meal and Passover, it's at the Passover meal.
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.719
This is the last meal before the crucifixion.
00:01:42.239 --> 00:01:51.200
The evening meal, Passover was being served, and the devil had already prompted Judas Iscariot, son of Simon, to betray Jesus.
00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:59.439
Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power, and that he had come from God and was returning to God.
00:01:59.760 --> 00:02:03.120
John thirteen, verses two and three.
00:02:04.079 --> 00:02:10.879
Even my close friend, whom I trusted, he who shared my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.
00:02:12.159 --> 00:02:18.800
As keeper of the money bag, that's Psalm 41 9 that I just quoted.
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:23.599
As keeper of the money bag, he used to help himself to what was put into it.
00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:24.879
That's John 12 6.
00:02:24.960 --> 00:02:26.639
So we're back to the Last Supper.
00:02:27.199 --> 00:02:34.240
Judas is uh uh there, and Judas is he's he's eating with him.
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:41.280
And he also uh we'll we'll stay with him there for a few minutes.
00:02:41.599 --> 00:02:47.599
Unfortunately, the sin that Judas never repented of was the sin that led to his destruction.
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:53.280
When tempted, no one should say, God is tempting me.
00:02:53.599 --> 00:03:02.400
For God cannot be tempted by evil, but each one is tempted when his by his own evil desire he is dragged away and enticed.
00:03:03.039 --> 00:03:09.840
Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin, and sin when it is full grown, gives birth to death.
00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:12.400
That's James 1, 13 through 15.
00:03:13.599 --> 00:03:16.960
So how do we, as a Christian, handle a Judas?
00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:19.120
What did Jesus do?
00:03:19.360 --> 00:03:24.560
Okay, now I just set up the the scenario or the scene for you.
00:03:24.719 --> 00:03:29.840
They're having the Last Supper, and Jesus says, One of you, one of you is going to betray me.
00:03:31.199 --> 00:03:32.400
What did Jesus do?
00:03:32.560 --> 00:03:33.599
What should we do?
00:03:33.759 --> 00:03:35.439
What what did Jesus do?
00:03:37.120 --> 00:03:41.360
The first thing Jesus did was feed Judas at the table with everyone else.
00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:52.800
The next thing Jesus did after eating was wash the feet of the disciples' feet, including Judas.
00:03:53.759 --> 00:03:57.919
The other thing that was in the garden when Jesus was being betrayed.
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:04.240
Jesus said to him, Friend, do what you came for, Matthew 26, verse 50.
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:15.199
This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge, and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to a cross.
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:23.600
But God raised him from the dead, freeing him from the agony of death, because it was impossible for death to keep his hold on him.
00:04:24.079 --> 00:04:30.879
David said about him, I saw the Lord always before me, because he is at my right hand.
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:32.879
I will not be shaken.
00:04:33.120 --> 00:04:44.720
Therefore my heart is glad, and my tongue rejoices, my body will also live in hope, because you will not abandon me to the grave, nor will you let your holy one see decay.
00:04:45.040 --> 00:04:50.560
For you have made known to me the path of life, and you fill me with joy in your presence.
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:54.079
That's Acts two, twenty three through twenty eight.
00:04:54.319 --> 00:04:56.800
So God wasn't caught off guard by this.
00:04:57.439 --> 00:04:57.759
Dr.
00:04:58.000 --> 00:05:08.319
Luke continues, Brothers, I can tell you with confidence that the patriarch David died and was buried, and his tomb is here to this day.
00:05:08.639 --> 00:05:15.839
But he was a prophet and knew that God had promised him on an oath that he would place one of his descendants on the throne.
00:05:16.079 --> 00:05:17.519
Psalm twenty two.
00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:27.199
Seeing what was ahead, he spoke of the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to the grave, nor did his body see decay.
00:05:27.920 --> 00:05:32.560
God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact.
00:05:32.879 --> 00:05:42.319
Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, and has poured out what you now see and hear.
00:05:42.639 --> 00:05:53.040
For David did not send to heaven, and yet he said, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet.
00:05:53.360 --> 00:05:56.160
Therefore let all Israel be assured of this.
00:05:56.480 --> 00:06:02.160
God has made this Jesus whom you crucified, both Lord and Christ.
00:06:03.040 --> 00:06:11.680
When the people heard this they were cut to the heart, and said to Peter and other apostles, Brothers, what shall we do?
00:06:12.000 --> 00:06:14.959
Acts two, twenty nine through thirty seven.
00:06:16.079 --> 00:06:17.279
Pay attention to this.
00:06:17.439 --> 00:06:28.319
This man was handed over to you by God's set purpose and foreknowledge, and you, with the help of wicked men, put him to death by nailing him to the cross.
00:06:28.720 --> 00:06:33.120
So when the sin of betrayal comes along, do not be afraid or fear it.
00:06:33.519 --> 00:06:37.839
Betrayal does not destroy the destination of God's plan in your life.
00:06:38.240 --> 00:06:46.319
A Judas cannot change God's plan, but will actually advance it, the plan of God in your life.
00:07:45.439 --> 00:07:48.000
Judas cannot stop the plan of God.
00:07:48.480 --> 00:07:51.839
He, the devil, is only able to advance it.
00:07:52.399 --> 00:08:05.519
Judas betrayed Christ, led to a crucifixion, led to Jesus dying for the sins of the world, led him being raised from the dead, led him to be seated at the right hand of God.
00:08:05.839 --> 00:08:32.080
Your attitude should be the same as Christ Jesus, who being in the very nature God, did not consider equality with God, something to be grasped, but made himself nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made human likeness, and being found in the appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death, even the death on a cross.
00:08:32.399 --> 00:08:50.559
Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
00:08:50.799 --> 00:08:55.360
Philippians five through eleven.
00:08:56.000 --> 00:08:59.679
I think I'm in Philippians four, five through eleven.
00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:06.960
In Genesis we see Joseph was not promoted during the great errors of prosperity.
00:09:07.360 --> 00:09:16.000
He was captured by his brothers, thrown into a pit, slowed into slavery, spent two years in prison.
00:09:17.679 --> 00:09:25.600
Genesis four one one says two full years before being the number two person in Egypt.
00:09:25.840 --> 00:09:28.399
Genesis fifty, nineteen through twenty-one.
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:34.720
Everything that tried to kill Joseph wound up advancing God's plan to fulfillment.
00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:41.120
God always overrules the evil, and when he does, advances the plan of the person being attacked.
00:09:41.519 --> 00:09:46.480
You may be in Genesis 37, your dreams may have gotten you in trouble.
00:09:46.960 --> 00:09:48.639
That's when he was in the pit.
00:09:49.120 --> 00:09:59.039
You may be in Genesis 39, that's Joseph and Potiphar's wife, got accused of uh having relations with his wife and thrown into prison.
00:09:59.279 --> 00:10:01.519
You may be in Genesis fifty.
00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:05.919
Jacob passes away, his dad passes away.
00:10:06.159 --> 00:10:08.480
But look at Joseph's reply.
00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:13.440
But Joseph said to them, he's talking to his brothers, Don't be afraid.
00:10:13.679 --> 00:10:15.440
Am I in the place of God?
00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:21.840
You intended to harm me, but God intended it for good to accomplish what is now being done.
00:10:22.159 --> 00:10:24.000
The saving of many lives.
00:10:24.320 --> 00:10:29.440
So then God, so then don't be afraid for you and your children.
00:10:29.679 --> 00:10:32.559
And he assured them and spoke kindly to them.
00:10:32.799 --> 00:10:36.080
Genesis fifty nineteen through twenty one.
00:10:36.559 --> 00:10:46.000
So you see, the evils from the devil that have been allowed to come through your life to destroy you have actually advanced God's plan in your life.
00:10:46.320 --> 00:10:52.399
God loves you, and in Jeremiah God says, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord.
00:10:52.720 --> 00:10:55.360
Plans to prosper you and not to harm you.
00:10:55.600 --> 00:10:57.600
Plans to give you a hope and a future.
00:10:57.840 --> 00:10:59.679
Jeremiah 29, 11.
00:10:59.919 --> 00:11:02.320
So in closing, let me say these.
00:11:02.559 --> 00:11:03.519
Let me say this.
00:11:03.679 --> 00:11:06.000
There's four things for you to do.
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:10.159
Number one, do not fear your betrayer.
00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:11.759
Don't be afraid of him.
00:11:12.159 --> 00:11:14.960
It doesn't mean you do what he says, it means you're not afraid of him.
00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:16.799
Don't operate in fear.
00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.919
Don't despise the process, Genesis 50, 15 through 21.
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:29.679
You're in this process and you're in this life and you're in these conditions and you're in these circumstances because of your decisions.
00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.480
But God is overseeing everything still.
00:11:33.279 --> 00:11:36.000
Don't don't despise the process.
00:11:36.720 --> 00:11:39.120
Don't judge your life story too early.
00:11:39.279 --> 00:11:41.519
You are seeing a chapter in your life.
00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:44.000
God is seeing the whole book.
00:11:44.559 --> 00:11:48.399
And number four, keep your heart soft.
00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:50.480
Matthew twelve thirty four.
00:11:50.799 --> 00:12:01.679
Because out of it flow the issues, or the principles, or the guidelines, or the facts, or the destination of your life, which should be hidden in Christ.
00:12:02.799 --> 00:12:04.960
Get to be hiding in Christ.
00:12:05.279 --> 00:12:06.960
Dwell in Christ.
00:12:07.440 --> 00:12:12.879
So when the devil comes to you, he sees Jesus and not you struggling.
00:12:13.679 --> 00:12:16.960
You have a blessed day in Jesus' name.
00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:17.840
Amen.
00:12:20.480 --> 00:12:22.639
This has been Chaplain Terry Warner.

The Lord bless you and keep you.
00:13:17.120 --> 00:13:20.320
The Lord make his face shine upon you and be gracious unto you.
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:25.600
The Lord lift up his countenance upon you and give you peace in Jesus' name.
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:26.559
Amen.
00:00:45.439 --> 00:00:48.240
