He was a good man, careful not to do anything evil. • Job 1:2 He had seven sons and three daughters, • Job 1:3 and owned seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, one thousand head of cattle, and five hundred donkeys. He also had a large number of servants and was the richest man in the East.
Job 1:4 Job's sons used to take turns giving a feast, to which all the others would come, and they always invited their three sisters to join them. • Job 1:5 The morning after each feast, Job would get up early and offer sacrifices for each of his children in order to purify them. He always did this because he thought that one of them might have sinned by insulting God unintentionally. • Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them..(Kjv)
Job 1:7 The LORD asked him, "What have you been doing?" Satan answered, "I have been walking here and there, roaming around the earth." • Job 1:8 "Did you notice my servant Job?" the LORD asked. "There is no one on earth as faithful and good as he is. He worships me and is careful not to do anything evil." • Job 1:9 Satan replied, "Would Job worship you if he got nothing out of it?

Ecc 10:8 • If you dig a pit, you fall in it; if you break a hedge, a snake bites you.
GOD’S THRONE • QUESTION: HOW IS IT THAT SATAN COULD COME BEFORE GOD AND ACCUSE JOB. • ANSWER : THROUGH SIN, ADAM HAD GIVEN SATAN HIS PLACE
SATANIC FOOTPRINTS • SATAN BROUGHT DIRT INTO HEAVEN. • MADE THINGS “UNCLEAN”
Heb 9:21 In the same way Moses also sprinkled the blood on the Sacred Tent and over all the things used in worship. • Heb 9:22 Indeed, according to the Law almost everything is purified by blood, and sins are forgiven only if blood is poured out.

CHRIST’S BLOOD HAS CLEANSED AND REDEEMED THE UNCLEAN PLACE WHERE SATAN STOOD. • THERE REMAINS THEREFORE NO PLACE IN HEAVEN FOR SATAN TO STAND AND ACCUSE YOU
WHAT HAPPENED TO JOB CANNOT HAPPEN TO YOU. • Job 9:33 - Job longed for a mediator but had none. • His dream is our reality. • Jesus is our mediator - 1 Timothy 2:5

PRIESTHOOD - FOREVER • Priesthood under Levitical order is blessing and cursing. • Melchizedek order is blessings only. • You cannot be blessed today, cursed tomorrow
FIVE = GRACE • Job 1:10 You have always 1. protected him and 2.his family and 3.everything he owns. 4.You bless everything he does, and you have 5.given him enough cattle to fill the whole country.
