• Job is described as blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil.
• He had many children and possessions
• Job prayed for his family and offered burnt offerings according to the number of his children -
  • Job 1:5: ​When the days of feasting had completed their cycle, Job would send and consecrate them, rising up early in the morning and offering burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, “Perhaps my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts.” Thus Job did continually.
• The Lord said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job?  For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, fearing God and turning away from evil."
• Satan pointed out that Job was protected on every side, everything he had was protected and blessed.  Satan's theory was that if the Lord "But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face."
• God's response was "Behold, all that he has is in your power, only do not put forth your hand on him."
• In one day, Job's life was attacked and changed dramatically.  He lost possessions, income and his kids, back to back, Job got the report that:
  • His oxen, donkeys, and the servants tending to them were killed by the Sabeans.
  • The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants and consumed them.
  • The Chaldeans raided the camels and took them and slew the servants with them.
  • Your sons and daughters were killed at your oldest son's house while eating and drinking by a great wind destroying the house.
• It seems the intent of this attack was to break Job down and cause him to curse God.
• Job's response was sorrow, as he "tore his robe and shaved his head," but seemingly all at the same time, he fell to the ground and worshiped.  The bible says Job's words were:
  • "Naked I came from my other's womb, and naked I shall return there.  The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away.  Blessed be the name of the Lord."  Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God." v20-22​

Hey Folks,
Here is a grid I put together when studying Faith.  I hope it helps you!

Hey folks,

Let's take a deep dive into prophetic ministry.  Let's discover together what the bible says about this powerful ministry.  My intention is to provide a starting point for your own personal study to fellowship with Holy Spirit as he makes alive His word and teaches us what His original intent was, and how it is to be administered presently.

This topical study is not exhaustive, however, it is a great place to start.  Feel free to use this tool to further your own studies.
