Job 29

The Bible says he's got such large boils on his body that he's got to scrape them off.

Could you imagine going through one day where you lose everything, the next day it feels like you're losing yourself? This would make you lose your mind, and as Job is in the middle of this, in Job 29 and 18- He thought he would die in his nest.

He had already decided how his story would go, but look at God.

Watch the latter part of the verse, "And I shall multiply," hmm, "my days like the phoenix." That word phoenix there also translates from Hebrew into the word sand.

Father, lock this word in us today.

There's a choice here.

It's in Job 29:18.

You can die in your nest, you can hold onto your nest, or, or, or you can rise like the phoenix.

Final prayer before you take your seat, Job chapter 29 from verse one to three.

Job 29.

Write the scriptures down so that when you get back to your own chambers, you can exercise yourself.

There is an army that the Lord wants to raise in the United States of America, a response army, and, and God wants to do something in the State of Minnesota.

Uh, uh, at that time, he believed that God was with him and blessed him.

Let's have a look at Job 29, verses 4 to 6.

There, he says, "Oh, for the days when I was in my prime, when God's intimate friendship blessed my house, when the Almighty was with me and my children were around me, when my path was drenched with cream and the rock poured out for me streams of olive oil."

[laughs] When my path was drenched with cream.

Job almost speaks like God in this section.

He says, "I put on righteousness as my clothing.

Justice was my robe and my turban." And that's what he says in, uh, Job 29:14.

Yes.

So is it possible that this king Jobab is the same Job? I think there's a very strong argument for it, actually.

Because let's turn to Job 29 and read verses 7 through 10.

This is Job speaking.

It says, when I went out to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street, the young men saw me and hid themselves.
