Revival: I wanna cuss but I can't

Job 2: 1-10

I Wanna Cuss But I Can't

Chapter 1: Job loses his family and his finances. He maintained his integrity. The Lord gives and He takes away, blessed be the name of the Lord.
He demonstrated that its wonderful to have things but better when things don't have you.
Success won't protect you from everything that's coming at you.

All you can do is do the best that you can, but something is going to get you. No matter how blessed and highly favored you are, there will be something or somebody that will get to you at some point.

You'd have thought that Job had proven himself. The Devil thought that if Job had to suffer directly, that he'd curse God. Its one thing to tell someone else to pray about it, worship through it, or trust God but what will you do when you're in the fire?

With greatness comes great mess.
So many of us want to be blessed without realizing the hell that comes with it.
With every blessing there's a burden. With advancement is adversity.
God was able to brag about Job.
I want to know can God brag on you?

Can He talk about how you have a prayer life and that you study to show yourself approved? Can God say that no matter what you're going through, you still find a reason to praise Him anyhow?

When God brags on you, His stamp of approval will always draw the enemy to you. The Enemy will try and destroy your witness, make you quit, make you give up on God!

Christians shouldn't have a theology for success without a theology for suffering.
It doesn't matter how much you pray or fast, you're going to catch hell sometimes.

What the Devil meant for evil, God is going to turn around for good.
No weapon formed will prosper but the weapon will be formed.
Your enemies will be your footstool but they have to be close enough for you to put your foot on them.
God is in the good and the bad. ALL things work together for hte good of them that are called! ALL THINGS!

The enemy isn't after people who are already struggling. He wants to mess with those who are striving after God. His strategy is to get us focused on our flesh instead of our faith. He does it with senseless suffering.

Its one thing to have A problem and a completely different one to have ALL THE PROBLEMS.

There's a point. God is using it and working it out for your good. It may not feel good but its making me wiser and stronger and better. God has brought me through situation after situation and if he did it before he can do it AGAIN!

The enemy will also use sickness to get under your skin. The enemy uses disease to distract us. Then we get caught up in our flesh and not in our faith. Don't let your feelings control your feet or your faith.

Praising God any how is the remedy works. The more you praise God, the more the Devil will leave you alone.

The enemy will use folks that are close to you to stay something that ain't got no business saying. Can't nothing make you go off like someone close to you who should be sensitive to you and they don't even understand what they shouldn't be doing or saying.

Job teaches us that you can't get caught up with other folks frustrations. Don't let people without faith talk you out of your favor.
If they don't know Him, serve Him, or praise Him like you do....show them the hand.

If you look over your life and you see that your good days outweigh my bad days....so you shouldn't complain.

God spared my life.
He could have killed me, but He kept me.

You were in the Devil's drip and He still couldn't kill you. God said do what you want but you can't have her life.
If it didn't break me its blessing me. If it didn't break me, its building me.

I'm going to praise Him like I'm at the end of my storm, not in the middle.
