Welcome to the Kerwin Baptist Church broadcast today. Our desire is for the word of God spread throughout all may know Christ.

Join us now for a portion of one of our services here at Kerwin Baptist Church located in Kernersville, North Carolina Chapter 42 in verse 17. The last verse of the book says that, so Job died being old and full of days full of days. How did you have a full life. Nobody has been to the suffering that you went there except our Savior Jesus Christ.

What will transpire to go through something like that to lose all your children all your all your livestock, all your farm all your finances.

Everything that you had even you fell your life, literally look just to listen you to curse God and just die because you're so much pain, why would a man who'd been treated like that, and he has three friends show up and discourage them appoints Adam and tell all the things that he's done wrong then you have another guy show up until that is done wrong. How could a guy like that at the end of everything be said to him, he was full day that word doesn't mean just that a lot of it means that he had quality to the lender for life like a bridge in the subject today a full life how to give a full life and you had such tragedy. How can you have a full life. When you have so many things go wrong will transpire between that when Joe was laying on the bed with his body, having lost all of his children everything he had. He was a very wealthy man.

He lost it all. Will children from that point at the end of chapter 37 to at the end of chapter 42. This guy died being found days you say preacher.

I haven't had a very good life that all is tragedy in all these things happen to me different. You didn't have as much tragedy as this person did said that a lot. Oh yeah, but unless you've lost you know all your children one day lost everything.

You had your home everything your property and then you lose your health all in one day out of the person take a situation like that and then the day he dies.

It's able to be said about him and that guy had a wonderful life. Had a great life what happened. Chapter 38, which in turn there if you will not normally outthink six, seven, eight, versus you stay there and I can explain those verses.

But in order to understand this book it.

We started last week, just so we can get today. Chapter 38 then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said I love that verse. All friends, all these friends show up to give mother advice all their discouraging words preacher Job till everything is done wrong.

How wonderful that wasn't sure Job was laying there in pain all through those friends didn't do one thing to help the pain. Not just physically, emotionally, spiritually, they did nothing but make it worse Job listing. Everybody get their piece of advice of what should be done and how this happened all these things, and Job is literally going through a storm here, not a physical stuff is lightning and wind but you know what I'm talking about storms of life. Things that happen circumstances and sometimes you find yourself in the midst of the storm answered Job out of the whirlwind can I say this God always has an answer in your score. The always has an answer because always there, and he always has an answer for you. You say, but I don't hearing frigid to finally hear it really see God in this way. Job did not first either. But when God finally got the chance that Jerry was probably not good enough and had gone through enough that he was probably soon.showed up for the three friends just wasn't ready to listen before the three what in God's problem.

Because Job was a minister to listen before those health problems you see that that storm brought Joe that he was finally willing to listen to what God had to say. So what did God had to say what you notice and in chapter 38 emerges. I can always read all the verses but only show you something to chapter 30 chapter 40 and in chapter 42 very simple look at chapter 38 verse four this what God says to Job where was thou when I laid the foundations of the earth.

To clarify, outhouse, understanding who have laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest for who have stretched the line upon it, whereupon the foundations therefore facet who have laid the cornerstone thereof when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy again.

They want to know first thing God does this, he shows himself as creator. He said show where were you when I created the earth, where were you when I hung the stars into space where you did you lay the cornerstones of the earth.

You see, God is saying Joe you're mad and you're angry and you would argue with me but I'm telling you I am creator not only of the earth not only of the universe, but on the creator of you and I say, dear friend. You and I have always got to remember whatever we go through. He's the creator. He's the one that made us. We need to remember that we better know our place. He's the creator. Second, in verse 12 notice this past thou commanded the morning since thy days.

He said Job have you been bringing the sun up every morning since you been alive. Job have you been committing the wind and the rain to come since you been alive. Had you done all this Job have you been doing that. You see when God shows himself as creator, he immediately verse 12 showed Job as the creation, that means this God is the creator.

Guess what that makes us where the creation that means this he calls the shots as he made us so I don't believe God made it didn't matter what you believe what I believe it didn't change that you set it when George Washington lived the does five people believe that doesn't change the fact that he did. God is the creator notice.

Secondly, in verse 17 have the gates of death, been open under the or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death, hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth declare if thou knowest it all.

Where is the way where light relevant as for the darkness.

Where is the place thereof thou shouldest take it to the boundary of the bouncers know the path to the house thereof. Notice now it because now lost within broiler because the number of thy days is great, hast thou entered in the treasures of snow assessing the treasures of the hail, what is God saying to Joe, he said. Not only am I creator, but second on the controller. He said Job I control the rain. I control the snow. I can further lead. He said Job you have any idea how the light works Job the sun every day is what you and I will bring the sun up every day. If you and I even knew all that God does just to give us sunlight how he controls everything. So why is God telling Job is because God's laying a foundation Job on the creator. Second on the controller you know what you and I've always got.

Remember God is the one in control. By the way, thank him for that. Can you imagine if one of us got a chance to controlling the earth and the world. One day yelling like individual microphone. By the way you hear about the peanut that was walking Walmart last week got assaulted anyway you want to use that one for a while. I was a dumb joke different if you and I ever think that we control anything were wrong and model you and I try to we try to control the world we control little circumstances and and we got everything laid out. This could keep me safe and this is going to do this, it is because I want to make sure this doesn't happen and you know others nothing wrong to try to be organize another role in protecting yourself is nothing wrong with all that Alyssa be different you and I've got to remember, no, we are really not the control anything.

God is in control and Job realize this finally feel that I tell my kids I make all this happen to me this helps control and dear friend. Sometimes God allows circumstances in our life.

Just to remind us that we control as much as we think.

I've had people that thought they were in control of you take something one incident can take care that one second of time can change that forever. The third thing in chapter 38. He tells look at verse 36, just listen. If you don't have arrival. He says this who have put wisdom in the inward parts, or who have given understanding to the heart.

God says to Job, who can number the clouds and wisdom are who can stay the bottles of heaven notice.

This also look at verse 39 will now hunt the pray for the lien or fill the appetite of the young lions when they couched in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait, who provided for the Raven's food.

When Joan was crying to God. They wonderful activity.

Look at me this what God says hey Job you don't feed the lion you even feed the Raven's pretty thing does that every day you think provides food for every living creature, God says this Job on the creator on the controller and I'm the caretaker you breath if I don't give it to you arraignment doesn't have food and final give it to them doesn't have food at final give me about it. For Job you don't have life you have read anything about them. Give it to guess what you and I are up a creek without a paddle know if it's the guys went yesterday and you look at how much doing.

We didn't make much we don't control much that we can't even take care of ourselves. God does it all to God is one to get that out there now. Chapter 40 which in turn looked like a chapter 42 will all go somewhere this week a look at chapter 40. Moreover, the law of the Lord answered Job and said he continues with his answer to Job, shall he that contended with the Almighty. Instruct him. What was he saying this, Job. You can argue with me, are you going to try to instruct me to tell me what to do like this, he that reproved with God. Let him answer it.

God says Job unit try to tell me what to do really urinate. You can argue with me and tell me what to do and how to do things. First thing God is telling Job here is this number one we have to have submission to his position. You and I have to realize we don't tell God what to do. God tells us what to do.

The Bible says we're supposed to tell God our desires.

He says you know share the desires of your heart and everything through prayer and supplication let your requests be made known to God. God is our father. He loves us is nothing relevant going got a thing God when you do you know this is a desire of my heart.

These are things I like my God, I want your will to listen to me, it doesn't matter necessarily what we want or what we think we should have for how we think things should go. The thing you and I have to remember is we have to submit to his position he's in charge. And that's why God in the chapter before Saturday on the creator of the controller on the caretaker you really think to tell me what to do, is to be different when it comes to trials and storms in our life we have remember something we had to submit to his position will tell him what to do.

We have no right to tell God what to do. He said the goddesses and family about what happened to me over to tell God what's fair God, you shouldn't have done that all my life over to tell God if you would. Verse seven chapter 40 God looks at Job he says is grown up by loins now like a man I love that that's the best the Old Testament, by the way you look at the guys and maybe a man grow up and be a man if you would verse seven. I will demand of the declarant on the meet will now also dissimilar my judgment, that means will you we you try to ridicule or eliminate my judgment unit try to make it of none effect, he says will now condemn me that now made me righteous pass that on arm like God or can't spell thunder with the boys like him myself now with majesty and excellency in a really nice of a glory and beauty, God looks at you.

Nobody says it all right. You think you're a big guy hey can you construct me. Can you talk with him there. Can you do what I can do while you yourself with beauty and majesty. God is beautiful and majestic God's glory and majesty as is evident throughout Scripture goblet to go to the right, but see what you can do them should show me your glory and majesty for the grid to comb her hair, something we don't have glory and majesty.

You know why were the creation he's the creator.

Notice this verse 10 deck by self. Now with majesty and excellency array thyself a glory.

Maybe I'll assume she got Job what's God saying first. He said submission to his position. Second, we have to surrender to his plan.

Cannot say this, you will never surrender to God's plan. If you haven't submitted to his position until you get it upon your life. You say God, you're the boss on the employee. God, you're the creator on the creation were going somewhere with this is a beautiful picture in chapter 38 and now in chapter 40 Job is starting to get a glimpse of who God is and he starting to get a glimpse of who he was and that's where life starts, folks, that's where it starts when we start getting the peril of her. We need to be. When we finally start seeing God for who he is and we finally start seeing us for who we are. We got a submit to his position he's in charge and we got a surrender to his client, God, whatever you tell me to do in general did not like God's plan here. We cannot say this I would've either, but it's not up to us will be like her a lot.

It's up to us to surrender to supers that sounds, harsh or really using God's harsh God's me right. Chapter 42 at the beginning chapter 42. Look, if you would verse two now Job's answering God back after God finally got done telling Job would Job need to hear. Then Job said this, verse two, I know that thou canst do everything and that no thought can be withholding from me first and foremost now after Job's been through all this and God finally instructs him and God preaches to Job and tells him what Job needs the air all the sudden Job now sees the light. All of a sudden, Job now finds himself in a position where he should've been the whole time and he says is God. I recognize your ability to notice in this passage. First, as we see God's ability is what he says about notice. If you would verse two. I know that thou canst do everything and that no thought to be withholding the talk about doctrine. Job says first he's omnipotent and he says second he's omniscient, what is it mean to be omnipotent. We believe God has character traits omnipotent means this God can do anything is all-powerful on the is all potent were we get boy that was potent. You know that's powerful God is all powerful. Joe says I know that no thought can be withholding for me that means you know everything on the is all mission omniscient means this knowing God is all-knowing, yes. Well let me tell you about God.

God can do anything he wants to do.

He knows everything there is to know and the reason he knows everything there is to know is because the third character trait that is implied here is this that God is omnipresent. That means God is everywhere. One time, everywhere that blows your mind you sale social God. God is going on in my house the same time it was going on in your house yet so Joe finally sees God's abilities is called omnipotent and omniscient, I present notice.

If you would as he begins to read down the verse four here, I beseech thee, and I will speak I will demand of the and declare that on the me that's what Job says in verse five I have heard of you by the hearing of the year, but now mine eyes see you think Welling is saying about studying verse 40 God desired to see God for who he was.

I am creator on controller trafficker to submit my position. You got a friend and I plan finally is anything you can do everything and you know everything about you, but now I see there got the point your life are you finally saw God. We voted on for years. We know the verses and we know the things you let yourself get in the middle of a whirlwind like Job was an out of that whirlwind. God has an answer for you. The answer is always this we can finally see God for who he is. Notice what Job says in verse six wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes. That means this that not only receive God's ability. But second we see our inability to see when God when when Joe finally saw what God can do. Job then recognized how little he could do and when he saw God's omnipotence in his omniscience, Job says that I myself and I repent in dust and ashes Job exercise two things in that person. One he exercised humility is that I bore myself second. He exercise repentance. That's always the answer say I don't know what's going on Malik Limited answer.

Humility and repentance.

Humble yourself before God and repent of the things you've done wrong you say will that's a wonderful step one and yet it was an amazing step you say why would you know that in this, the whole reason I think I put this book in your Job.

He starts off in chapter 1 and two is probably the most perfect righteous man that ever lived is up in chapter 42 repenting you see in the best of us still have to repent the best of us still have sin the best of us are still all the best of us still have to ponder ourselves because apparently when you're the best.

You still have pride, that's great now. Job finally did it. He finally got to where God wanted him not yet were almost done. There was one more step one more step for Job to learn what he needed to learn. Look, if you would verse 10. Let me explain what happens actually read it.

I know you is a lot of scripture for summer only on redeliver seven and it was so that after the Lord had spoken these words in the Job. The Lord said to Eliphaz that Tim and I that's one of the friends that showed up. My wrath is kindled against the and against my two friends for you have not spoken to me. The thing that is right as my servant Job okay you say will. God is awfully hard on Joel, you haven't seen nothing yet.

Now he turns to the three friends any thousand let me tell you something you speak a lot about me when you said what I thought when you start assembling tell you, God does this. And God loves this God is mad at this and God said no you won't speak you were wrong. You didn't know me like you think you know me like you would verse eight therefore take unto you now seven boats seven rams go to my servant Job and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering in my servant Job shall pray for you for him will I accept how things okay listen to me these three friends now are in trouble. God's wrath is getting ready to follow these three guys and he said, let me tell you what you do, you will get you sacrificing you get over there. You make a sacrifice and it prays for you all, except that so these three guys adjusting at the Jamestown of all he did wrong. Now they need him to say the wrath of God in their life.

You see, as well.

More step.

Job had to take. Yes, he repented, yes, he humbled himself before God.

But in the midst of all this Job had gotten bitter at those guys and I would to win you and God sets up his this is like this is better than a movie focuses God sets up the scenario. Here's the three guys I just ridiculed you didn't help you when you needed it. I'm getting ready to pull wrath on them, which the average person would been glad about God. God says all right I will save wrath on them.

If you pray for them, so you have now. The power to judge him or you have the power to save verse 10 then the Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends soon as Job did that soon as Job using a how could Job do that to those guys a metallic enemy. Because of these last two chapters God had been preaching to Job. Job finally saw who God was and how rotten he was the last thing in Job's heart was mad at this person because what they done to me. I think Job was still thinking of what he done to God.

How dare I listen somebody they done to me after God's forgiven me and pray for those three friends. I don't think it was Lord help me three guys a man. God would've accepted that God knows the heart. It was Job sincerely begging God to spare these three men, and when he did that. The Bible says that quick God turn the captivity of Job notices next phrase and gave him twice as much as he had before all on blessing day is about to come all this trouble in all this land there and lose everything all the pain and all the suffering for you say I can't believe God so mean I can't believe God would frighten him listening to her friend as long as you think God's meaning God's mad God is gracious God is God. God is laughing. Sometimes he has to get on visit. Sometimes he has the discipline of again. He removed Lord obedience. I can hear you when you get over bitterness and get things right with people and he bring the blessings with see what he did you go to verse 11 vindicating thereunder him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before and eating bread with him in his house. First thing got rewarded with was this friends see he needed a new bunch is the three guys that he thought were his friends. When he finally was in the middle of the storm realized they were friends at all. It had a few friends like that, they were friends till the storm came in, a hoop unit who often are people like that Christians unfortunately told us a world is to put more is expected from Christians, but at table over good with people when they're good about him face and they mess up what we jump on quick may that not be the way it is here.

This church gladly men right there with a similar care what your kids do. I love you and am looking to criticize you and on the pray with you and help you whatever they do. I don't care what you end up doing. I don't care how bad you mess up. Cannot say this. We love you just the same and will try to help you to change how we feel about you and I'm here to say that you often times we are so judgmental and were not friends in the store and I'll send Joe realize I don't have any friends. But as soon as he never got as a new round friends know to secondly if you will the middle of verse 11 and they bemoaned him and comfort in the word bemoan means they help to me. They encouraged him all over the world of the Lord are brought upon them notices every man also gave him a piece of money and everyone in a ring of gold member. Job had lost everything he had, for the Bible says God gave him twice as much as he had before. Then he says he was a very wealthy man before but after these people got done given him money. Apparently he had double what he had before babies is not only to got rewarded with friends but second he rewarded him with finances. He made every needy had lost everything God gave him twice as much as he had before. You see, Job had earned it before. Listen, I want to get this Job had earned that money before with his wit and with his help with his ability, but this time it came from God.

You appreciate it a lot more when it comes from God.

Will you appreciate it what it once you earn and you lost it all. And when God gives it to you realize how gracious and good he is. You get out you work and you use your body to face and do things and you say are myself and know you haven't God gave you the help to do that God gave you the mind to do that. That's his graciousness to you came from God folks notice.

Thirdly, verse 12 of the Lord blessed the latter into Job more than his beginning, for he had 14,000 sheep, 6000 camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen and the thousand she asks. That means this not only to God lesson with friends and finances were 30 blessed him with the new farm give a bigger farm Job at a nice farm before. That's what he earned, but had a nice farm after because God's when the bill that one could try to do things on your own. Folks if you want to and you can provide for yourself if you want to be bottomless. Let God do it. If you do a much better job of it. Notice if you would. Verse 13. He also had also seven sons and three daughters that would talk with us and for Job lost 10 children one day and God gave him 10 more and you say, but the Bible says God feed that that Job got double everything that he had before they got doubled everything he only had a cinematic kid to listen to me.

He did lose his first in there in heaven. Thank you for listening to you received a blessing from our broadcast.
