Ever been betrayed by people? Pastor Bill Winston expressed one of the great themes that has characterized this feast: “Have faith in God!” He boldly tells us that we should not be counting ourselves to see miracles released, but instead to expect great things of God. We don’t need to be embarrassed or even have a negative expectation when we lay hands on the sick. We are only obeying God, so why not allow God to be responsible for doing the healing. “What if it doesn’t work” should not be in our vocabulary or thoughts. We should be in thanksgiving that God is in charge and He is the worker of miracles, not us.
With men, all things can become impossible. They betray us, disappoint us, and we disappoint ourselves. But Jesus is faithful. It is His responsibility to perform the miracle. Nothing—no, nothing— is impossible with God. It is not for us to bother our brains by trying to figure out how God will do it. Just thank Him that He has done it!
That’s faith! Psalm 62 teaches us we are to trust only in God. Men will let us down, hurt us, make us feel like giving up sometimes, but Jesus will never leave or forsake us. Betrayal is broken off at Passover, and God wants to teach us in this feast to trust solely in Him so we will not surrender to betrayal. We quote below a recent addition to our Passover Season article under Celebrations on our church site, a quote than mentions this enemy of betrayal, the number two demon under Satan…
God commands us to remove yeast or leaven, that is, bread and products made from flour that has risen by yeast out of our homes before the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, and to eat unleavened bread during the days of the feast. We recommend taking communion with the unleavened bread every day of the feast. Agents such as baking soda, baking powder, cream of tartar, and bicarbonate of soda may be leavening agents, but they are not classified as yeast or leaven, so you don't have to throw them out unless your conscience leads you to do so. Yeast is the item that symbolizes sin, so it is what must be eliminated during the feast. Why yeast? It is an agent of the spirit of blight, which is an agent of betrayal.

It is easy to be betrayed and to betray people without half trying. It is very hard to deal the with the results and long term effects.

Why is it that people that Ihave trusted with something very personal have all betrayed me. What can be done to stop it from happening?

If a person keeps praying for you but they are always in fear, are they betraying you by their words, or attitude.

Josh,
Be more guarded and selective about who you share things with. We hope you kept Passover, which is a breaker of betrayal. If not, tell us and we will tell you how to break it off.

Goes God punish boys who promise to be faithful and then run amuck and get involved with a whole lot of other women?

Mylinda, God has set in motions laws that have cause and effect. The young men who live by betrayals rules, suffer the oppressive weight of their choices. When they acknowledge their sin and are ready to change, God is ready to heal them and you to if you are willing to forgive from your heart.

I resently got engaged to a very wonderful woman. My dad has been pressuring me to let him try her out before we marry because he wants to make sure she will be the right one for me. I cannot stand the thought of such a thing happening but he will not lay off of the idea.

Michael,
Stand your ground. Sex is not the criteria for a happy marriage. Forgive your father for his perversions and for trying to corrupt your bride; however, do not give in to his illicit desires. Don't allow her to be anywhere near him so he cannot rape her. Pray protection over her by the Word and the blood of Jesus.
