SATAN IS A MAN (PART 8)

According to Job 41:26-34, Job 42:1-9, Corinthians 10:4-5 Ephesians 6:4-5,
10-18.

Verse 26 - is showing us that we are not able to do battle with Satan Himself,
only if God calls you that Ministry, and as he said before this is the Baptism
of fire equips us to battle with him (Part V1), word tells us we are to put on
the whole Armour of God, Ephesians 6:10-18, so we would be able to stand
against the wiles of the devil.

Verse 12 - for we wrestle not against flesh and blood (mankind) but
principalities, against powers, against the rulers of darkness of this world.
against spiritual wickedness in high places.

In 2 Corinthians 10:4 - says for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal
but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds, and casting
down imaginations and every high thing exalteth itself against the
knowledge of God and bringing into captivity every thought to the
obedience of Christ.

He lived in the midst of the stones every precious stone was his covering.
Ezekiel 28:9, says he is a man and in Verse 16 says he was cast out of the
mountain of God, by his beauty his heart was lifted up, and corrupted thy
wisdom by reason of his brightness.

Verse 20 - says out of his nostrils goeth smoke as out of a seething pot
of caldron.    In his time in heaven fire was his thing.

Verse 21 - says his breath kindleth coals and a flame goeth  out of mouth
Verse 22 - in his neck remaineth strength and sorrow is turned into joy
before him.

We are dealing with an evil Angel, and we are no match for him, the Lord
is telling us so, and we had better take heed or he will swallow us up.
Verse 23-24.

His heart is a firm as a stone as hard as a piece of nether millstone.
Now we can see who we are dealing with, only God can deal with
the stoney heart and only those who he sends can take on an evil
one and be victorious  Verse 25.

When he raiseth up himself the mighty are afraid, when we are afraid
we are no longer walking in faith so in that situation we can no
longer please a Holy God.

We need the Holy Spirit to come up against this Guy described here,  he
is the one who raise up a standard against him so we can overcome
him.

This was to be not of ourselves but of the Spirit of God working in us
at his bidding we are no match for him, but the Holy Spirit is.  Praise
God.   Job is our example, that's why God himself had to explain
what was taking place in his life.

Job 27-34 - nothing we can use against Satan will work, Arrows, Iron,
Brass, Sling Stones, Darts, Sharp stones, sharp pointed things, the
Sea he could make like ointment Verse32.  He can make a path to
shine after him, this is saying things will look good, yet it is pure evil,
it will be shining, but deceiving and to go on that path will lead you
to hell.

Verse 33 - there is no one like him in the earth, he only fear God and the
Holy Spirit of Jesus who brought him down at the Cross.

He is the King of pride and all who are proud are his children and servant.
When God was finished explaining to Job who he was dealing with, Job
said Ch. 42:5 - he heard about God but now he is seeing him and he
abhorred himself and repented in dirt and ashes.

All the time he thought God was against him and he didn't know why,
because he was a faithful servant, and his friends who thought he was
sinning which caused all his  calamity, had to go to Job for prayer
according to God's command and his life was restored and all that
he lost he got back.  O Lord, what a God .   I am looking forward to
my restoration.  Praise God.
