Thank you for sharing in the word of God with us, be blessed-
I’m going to stay in Revelations 12, the greater the war the greater the word. Please hear the word of God – satan is not an illusion, he’s real! This is an old spirit that has been here from the foundation of the world, an until he and his demons are cast into the pit of fire, he’s after you. The Bible speaks over and over about his deception but some reason believers consider him a fairly tale. “He’s been there ”
We want to present evidence to prove to you the one time he did not lie – he the enemy said, “I’m going to and fro seeking those I can devour.” He can’t physically carry this task out, he needs a host-
The dragon is upset with anyone who has given themselves to God as the stars/angels did – he’s angry and will do anything to prove to God that we are not worthy of His Love –
We need to find when the Sons of God came to present themselves, Satan was there to – according to Revelations 12 we need to find where satan is an accuser of the brothern – we need to see where he was removed because of wrath/anger!
This blog is short but we will share all the facts above from God’s word – I’m not capable of making this up – each experience draws me closer to God’s word causing me to hear His voice –
I want to call The Apostle Paul as a character witness to God’s word –
Galatians 1:10
“11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.
12 For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.
13 For ye have heard of my conversation in time past in the Jews’ religion, how that beyond measure I persecuted the church of God, and wasted it:
14 And profited in the Jews’ religion above many my equals in mine own nation, being more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers.
15 But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace,
16 To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood:”
As I was working tonight God called my attention back to Revelations 12 and said warn my people for I have imparted 1 Peter 5:8 but they did not hear me –
1 Peter 5:8 KJV
“6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour”
In the text we are about to examine, Satan made a bet with God over the life of Job!
As a reminder –
- We need to find when the Sons of God came to present themselves, Satan was there to –
- according to Revelations 12 we need to find where satan is an accuser of the brothern –
- we need to see where he was removed because of wrath/anger!
Above are the attributes of Satan and those that operate in his demonic kingdom – pray – the word says it’s not God’s will that any should perish – “The choice is yours.”
Turn with me to The Book of Job,” an amazing prose – chapter 1 – I will be presenting a blog on “Satan’s eyes.” Stay tuned –
1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
4 And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5 And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Point 1 – we must find the place and time – where was the meeting? Revelations 12:1&3
“1 And there appeared a great wonder in heaven; a woman clothed with the sun, and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve stars:
3 And there appeared another wonder in heaven; and behold a great red dragon, having seven heads and ten horns, and seven crowns upon his heads.
Point 2 – Stars/angels had to be in this place
Revelations 1:2
“4 And his tail drew the third part of the stars of heaven, and did cast them to the earth: and the dragon stood before the woman which was ready to be delivered, for to devour her child as soon as it was born.”
Back to Job chapter 1
7 And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8 And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Point 3 – satan feels without God’s hedge of protection he can accuse Job and he will curse God! Revelations 12:10
“10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.”
12 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
There is nothing else heard from Satan the entire prose – it’s as though he was cast out the prose/story of Job –
Turn back with me to Revelations 12:10-12
“10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.
11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.
12 Therefore rejoice, ye heavens, and ye that dwell in them. Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! for the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath, because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”
“He/satan has been there”
In Closing, Job is a wealthy man living in a land called Uz with his large family and extensive flocks. God boasts to Satan about Job’s goodness, but Satan argues that Job is only good because God has blessed him abundantly. Satan challenges God that, if given permission to punish the man, Job will turn and curse God. A true man or women of God might suffer lost and at the point of death will still hold on to God’s word no matter what. “He’s been there”
