The David Spoon Experience 9-13-22 Part 2
This 60-minutes is all about:1) Satan replied: Hey…guess what? Satan talks. He spoke in the Garden. He spoke to God in this unique exchange. And when he talks, he introduces challenges, lies, doubts, and temptation. He accuses God (so how much more you and me) of playing favorites with Job and then challenges God to strip Job of his bubble. Yes, the is a hedge of protection (him, his home, and his property) around believers. If Satan had his unrestrained way, we would all be dead. Or worse. 2) You have made him prosperous in everything. It’s a dare, a bet, a challenge. And the enemy asks (because he has to) to strip Job to the bottom of the bottom. God allowed Job to accumulate over time, not in an instant. And his prosperity extended well beyond riches. Unfortunately, we are often trained to be blind to see actual value. The enemy asks for a change in Job’s situation because that will produce a cursing and hatred for God. How about this for a personal lesson? 3) God has to give permission and parameters for the contest. Of course, we call it a trial, a testing, and other spiritual phrases. But in this case, and likely in some of our own, there is a cosmic contest going on. Open our eyes, Lord.
