There is no other book in the Bible like the book of Job, and no other book in history like it. It is given to us by God for our learning, that we may have hope in times of trials (Romans 15:4). Let’s look at twelve lessons from the life of Job that can help us face the trials of life today. | AUDIO | TEXT PDF | Series: THE INVISIBLE WAR
The Book of Job is unlike any other book of the Bible, or any other book in history! But although Job experiences terrible suffering, the book of Job is not primarily about suffering––but about Faith… Will We Trust, Praise & Honor God––even if our Life is Crumbling Around us?
Series: THE INVISIBLE WAR – The Bible does not hesitate to describe the Invisible War that wages in the spiritual as well as the physical realm. We see the beginning of this invisible war as early as Genesis 3, and further described in the book of Job. Job is afflicted with unspeakable suffering, and although he asks God why, he is never given the answer––he must endure with FAITH.
Although Job Never Realized the Source of His Suffering––we do! God pulls back the veil so we can see that the suffering Job experienced was a Satanic Attack. Job’s friends were wrong: Job’s suffering was not a result of Secret Sin, or a Rebellious Attitude, or from Job asking God–Why? Job’s Suffering Was a Satanic Attack, that God Allowed, to show All the World, for All Time, for Angels and Men, that Job was faithful to God even under the worst circumstances, while Satan refused to be faithful even under the best circumstances.
In Luke 4:16-30 we see Jesus preach a sermon about the mission of the Messiah and Kingdom of God. It was a sermon that almost got Him killed, but Jesus slipped through the mob that wanted to kill Him.
Something in His sermon contradicted the story they were telling themself. What is the story you are telling yourself?
