THE JUDAS SYNDROME - ANTIDOTE

Deuteronomy 6: 5-9

and thou shalt love the LORD thy GOD with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart and thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

The antidote to the Judas syndrome is total devotion to the LORD GOD and Him only do you serve. Notice that the word "Heart" is used twice: with the heart and in the heart.  The only motive for life and living is found in the LORD GOD, but He must be in your heart and with the heart, He works through you. 

These verses call us to teach, talk, walk, lie down, sit, bind and write the command of GOD to all people and in every manner of life. This takes great devotion and constant focus. When a person is devoted to GOD and focused on GOD alone, there is no room for any other thoughts or idols.

Could it be said that this is the formula for righteousness?  Could it be said that this is the antidote for greed and for all manner of evil? 

Where is your focus, today? I suggest that you do a focus check and clear your mind and heart of anything that is not the LORD GOD. Purge the thoughts of your heart by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit and fill your mind and heart with the awesome wonder of redemption by our LORD JESUS Christ. Then speak about Him to everyone; if JESUS is really your focus, everything and all thoughts, words and deeds with reflect Him.
