“But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.”\u00a0Job 1:11<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satan thought he could tell God what to do and predict the outcome, but because of Job\u2019s intense patience and perseverance, it all blew up in the devil\u2019s face because within a year Job was healed, restored and on his way to a blessed life! A comeback that was double for his trouble! That\u2019s why it\u2019s important to understand what the Book of Job is all about!  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For instance, have you ever heard believers compare their negative circumstances, whether it be sickness, calamities, brokenness, or loss, with Job\u2019s? Really, what they\u2019re saying is that God either gave satan permission to invade their life, or He must have allowed<\/em> these things. Either way, we need to get real Bible answers to these questions in order to dissolve our doubts and bring our faith and expectations to the level of New Testament power and authority!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Satan thought he would taunt the LORD into lifting His hand against Job. But God didn\u2019t turn against Job at all! He had to enlighten satan to the fact that all Job possessed was already in satan\u2019s hands! Many know that God is a faithful, Covenant keeping God, but, in this case, there was no Covenant established to protect Job. Satan is the god of this world. Job lived before both the Old and New Testaments were written. Let\u2019s take a brief look at what Job didn\u2019t have compared to all we have under the New Testament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Job didn\u2019t have a Savior like we do! Job didn\u2019t have complete forgiveness of sins. We do! Job couldn\u2019t pray \u201cin the Name of Jesus.\u201d We can! Job had no authority over the devil! We do! Job didn\u2019t have the Holy Spirit in him. He had no Helper! We do! Job didn\u2019t have a Covenant. He had no promises from God! He had no instructions from God! He didn\u2019t even know of Abraham! If he had, he certainly would have addressed God as the God of Abraham, just as all Old Testament saints did. But he didn\u2019t. And he certainly didn\u2019t have the benefits, blessings and provisions of the powerful New Covenant! Our Covenant is backed by all of Heaven, because all heaven honors the Blood of Jesus! Job wasn\u2019t a Christian. He wasn\u2019t even Jewish. He had no Bible. He had no recorded Words from God at all. But we do! Job had nothing. We have everything! Can you see the magnitude of this? Certainly, there\u2019s a huge spiritual difference between born again believers and Job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, next time you are tempted to compare yourself with Job, you would really have to negate both the Old and New Covenants, the Blood of Christ, the power of the Holy Spirit, the Name of Jesus, and all the Promises he gave to all believers! In other words, let\u2019s look at what God has given us and use it the way Job would have if he could have!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With love,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
