OBSESSIONS

   For Judas Iscariot, his hunger and thirst for money was supposed to have satisfied his desire for riches when he received thirty pieces of silver for his betrayal of Jesus Christ.  But in less than twenty-four hours after becoming a wealthy person, Judas committed suicide. 
   Four of the most prominent obsessions of people are money, sex, drugs, and crimes against humanity. 
   When people become obsessed with money, greed and envy and jealousy are also in the package:  the more we have, the more we want---as if money is the solution that satisfies hunger and thirst.
   When simple sex is not enough to satisfy the hunger and thirst people have for sex, the more sex they desire, which means they need more sex to satisfy their selfish desires, which means they can become sexual deviants, after which they enter the arena of evil sex---even to the point of becoming sexual predators of women, of men, and even of children in order to satisfy their hunger and thrist.
   Hollywood movies are obsessed with the topics of money, sex, drugs, and crimes against humanity.
   Many of the best-selling books are dominated with the topics of money, sex, drugs, and crimes against humantiy.
   Television programs are also obesessed with money, sex, drugs, and crimes against humanity. 
   Perhaps the crimes police departments investigate most are money, sex, drugs, and crimes against humanity. 
   As for the news media, the front-page headlines are most often about money, sex, drugs, and crimes against humanity. 
   All religions have been created out of the imaginations of men---just like movies, books, and television programs---yet religion can also become an obsession because many religious people will actually commit murder against people of other religions.  And people, obsessed with religion, paint a self-portrait of their hypocrisy:  for they want others to think that they are fine and noble people, but in their hearts, they have rejected the truth of Jesus Christ. 
   When Judas Iscariot turned his back on Christ, the Bible says in John 13: 27, Satan entered into him.  In truth, Judas was now possessed with Satan, when means that Satan was in control of the mind and will of Judas. 
   Likewise, when people are obsessed with the object of their affection, such as money, sex, and drugs, they can become candidates for demon possession, just like Judas Iscariot. 
   Even when people become obsessed with religion, they have turned their backs on Christ, which means that they, too, are candidates for demon possession because the object of their affection has become their god.  And because religion is an evil invention out of the minds of men, the father they worship is, in reality, Satan.  So then, a religious environment is the perfect place for demon possession for people obsessed with religion. 
   Today, millions of people are possessed by demons because their obsessions are evil.  Once possessed by demons, their minds and their actions are now under the control and domination of Satan, and their thirst and hunger will never be completely satisfied, for they are now servants of evil.
   Such people also seek control and domination of others, for they want and expect others to serve them and to do their will. 
   Perhaps you would be surprised and even stunned to know that some of the people you trust the most are actually possessed by demons.  As long as your agreement is with them, everything is wonderful in La La Land.  As long as you do everything their way, they are such nice and friendly people.  Dare to disagree with them, however, and watch them quickly change their behaviour because they are all about themselves and not about you.
   Why do you suppose Jesus said, beware of hypocrites and vipers
