Jesus is…
“the seed” in Genesis
“THE LAMB” in exodus
“the head covering of the priest (MITRE)” in leviticus
“THE FIRE” IN NUMBERS
“THE WORD” in DEUTERONOMY
“our flag of victory” in Joshua
“the righteous judge” in judges
“OUR KINSMAN-REDEEMER” IN RUTH
“THE MOUTH & PROPHETS” IN 1, 2 SAMUEL, 1,2 kings & 1,2 ChroNIC
“OUR RESTORER” IN EZRA & NEHEMIAH
“OUR MEDIATOR” IN ESTHER
WE ARE STARTING INTO THE POETRY BOOKS.
JOB, PSALMS, PROVERBS, ECCLESIASTIES AND SONG OF SOLOMON
JOB WAS WRITTEN TO BE A PLAY.
PSALMS WAS A SONG BOOK.
PROVERBS TO BE SUNG AS WELL.
SONG OF SOLOMON WAS AN OPERA.
ECCLESIASTIES THE PERSONAL TESTIMONY OF SOLOMON.
JOB
OUR PICTURE OF JESUS IN THE BOOK OF JOB IS “A REVELATION OF RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
Job 19:25 As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth. 26 “Even after my skin is destroyed, Yet from my flesh I shall see God; 27 Whom I myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me!
THE AUTHOR
MOSES WROTE THE BOOK OF JOB.
WE SEE THE KIND OF MAN JOB WAS.
Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless, upright, fearing God and turning away from evil. (Vs 5 we see Job was into works)
THE FIRST TWO CHAPTERS GIVE US A RARE GLIMPSE OF THE SPIRIT REALM.
SATAN CAN’T LIVE IN HEAVEN BUT HE HAS ACCESS AND CAN GO AND ACCUSE… (Rev 12:10)
SATAN MEANS “THE ADVERSARY.”
SATAN ENDED UP GETTING ACCESS. BECAUSE JOB HAD A DOOR OF FEAR. “The thing I’ve feared has come upon me” (Job 3:25)
FEAR OPENS THE DOOR FOR THE ENEMY. FAITH IS THE OPPOSITE OF FEAR… FAITH OVERCOMES.
(Rev 12:11)
GOD PERMITTED SATAN TO ATTACK JOB IN 3 WAYS!
HIS SUBSTANCE, HIS 10 KIDS (FAMILY) AND HIS HEALTH.
Ez 22:30 I searched for a man among them who would build up the wall and stand in the gap before Me
THESE 3 FRIENDS ARE FOR THE PURPOSE OF STANDING IN THE GAP…
ANOTHER FRIEND COMES ON THE SCENE NAMED ELIHU.
GOD COMES ON THE SCENE AND HE ASKS JOB OVER 100 QUESTIONS
I’VE NOTICE THAT WHEN GOD DEALS WITH PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE THAT ARE WRONG… HE AKS THEM QUESTIONS TO REASON IT THROUGH.
THEN GOD HAS JOB PRAY FOR HIS FRIENDS… HIS ACCUSERS
GOD ENDED UP GIVING JOB DOUBLE OF EVERYTHING.
THERE’S SOMETHING TO LEARN ABOUT THE VALUE OF PATIENCE
JAMES 5:10-11 As an example, brethren, of suffering and patience, take the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. We count those blessed who endured. You have heard of the endurance of Job and have seen the outcome of the Lord’s dealings, that the Lord is full of compassion and is merciful.
THE NAME ALMIGHTY GOD (EL SHADDAI) IS USED 28 TIMES.
JOB IS COMPLIMENTED AS A MAN OF PRAYER IN Ezekial 14:14,20
THEME VERSE
Job 4:3 Behold you have admonished many, And you have strengthened weak hands. “Your words have helped the tottering to stand, And you have strengthened feeble knees.
Jesus In Every Book Of The Bible

Sitting With Jesus
April 17, 2024 • Pastor Brody Christian
FIRST POSTURE YOU SHOULD DO WITH JESUS IS SIT WITH HIM EPHESIANS 1:20 which He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places EPHESIANS 2:6 and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus 3 THINGS SITTING/RESTING REPRESENTS 1. WE DECLARE "IT'S DONE" 2. GIVES CONTENTMENT 1 TIMOTHY 6:6 But godliness actually is a means of great gain when accompanied by contentment. 3. GIVES US CONFIDENCE HEBREWS 10:35 Therefore, do not throw away your confidence, which has a great reward. YOUR DESTINY - IS TO SIT & KNOW HIM, BE CONTENT & HAVE SO MUCH CONFIDENCE THAT HE IS IN CONTROL
Searching For God
April 14, 2024 • Pastor Brody Christian
JEREMIAH 29:11-14 11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. 12 Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. 13 You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, JEREMIAH 29:13-14 msg “When you come looking for me, you’ll find me. “Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” God’s Decree. PSALM 9:10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 139:17-18 nlt How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered! 18 I can’t even count them; they outnumber the grains of sand! And when I wake up, you are still with me! GOD IS PURSUING YOU! HE PURSUES US FIRST 1 JOHN 4:19 19 We love because he first loved us. Genesis 3:8-9NLT 8 When the cool evening breezes were blowing, the man[https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=genesis+3%3a8-9&version=nlt#fen-nlt-64a] and his wife heard the Lord God walking about in the garden. So they hid from the Lord God among the trees. 9 Then the Lord God called to the man, “Where are you?” HE PURSUES US WHEN WE ARE LOST LUKE 15:4-6 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ Stuff will not make you happy. Stuff will not last forever. MATTHEW 5:6 MSG AND NIV Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. 1. PRAY 2. FOCUS YOUR SEARCH ON JESUS 3. READ THE BIBLE 4. REMAIN OPEN 5. ASK QUESTIONS 6. INVESTIGATE 7. TALK TO PEOPLE WHO LOVE AND FOLLOW JESUS 8. JOURNAL 9. SPEND TIME IN NATURE (Romans 1:20MSG. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, Ignoring God Leads to a Downward Spiral ROMANS 1:18-23 But God’s angry displeasure erupts as acts of human mistrust and wrongdoing and lying accumulate, as people try to put a shroud over truth. But the basic reality of God is plain enough. Open your eyes and there it is! By taking a long and thoughtful look at what God has created, people have always been able to see what their eyes as such can’t see: eternal power, for instance, and the mystery of his divine being. So nobody has a good excuse. What happened was this: People knew God perfectly well, but when they didn’t treat him like God, refusing to worship him, they trivialized themselves into silliness and confusion so that there was neither sense nor direction left in their lives. They pretended to know it all, but were illiterate regarding life. They traded the glory of God who holds the whole world in his hands for cheap figurines you can buy at any roadside stand. 24-25 So God said, in effect, “If that’s what you want, that’s what you get.” It wasn’t long before they were living in a pigpen, smeared with filth, filthy inside and out. And all this because they traded the true God for a fake god, and worshiped the god they made instead of the God who made them—the God we bless, the God who blesses us. Oh, yes! 26-27 Worse followed. Refusing to know God, they soon didn’t know how to be human either—women didn’t know how to be women, men didn’t know how to be men. Sexually confused, they abused and defiled one another, women with women, men with men—all lust, no love. And then they paid for it, oh, how they paid for it—emptied of God and love, godless and loveless wretches. 28-32 Since they didn’t bother to acknowledge God, God quit bothering them and let them run loose. And then all hell broke loose: rampant evil, grabbing and grasping, vicious backstabbing. They made life hell on earth with their envy, wanton killing, bickering, and cheating. Look at them: mean-spirited, venomous, fork-tongued God-bashers. Bullies, swaggerers, insufferable windbags! They keep inventing new ways of wrecking lives. They ditch their parents when they get in the way. Stupid, slimy, cruel, cold-blooded. And it’s not as if they don’t know better. They know perfectly well they’re spitting in God’s face. And they don’t care—worse, they hand out prizes to those who do the worst things best!
