How
About Job?
By Rev.
Kenneth E. Hagin
"And
the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends:
also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before" (Job 42:10).
"But you've forgotten, Brother Hagin, that God made Job sick," someone
said.
"No, He didn't, the Devil did." "Yeah, but God gave him
permission!"
But
God didn't commission Job's problem. God will permit you to rob a gas
station (you have a free will), but He won't commission you to do it.
Actually,
God has only given the Devil "permission" in a sense. If you allow Satan
to attack you, God will permit it, because Satan is the god of this
world (2 Cor. 4:4), and you are living on his territory.
Job
himself opened the door to the Devil by being afraid. Job said, "For the
thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was
afraid of is come unto me" (Job 3:25).
Many
Bible scholars agree that the entire Book of Job took place over a nine
to 18 month period. Afterwards, we see that God turned Job's captivity.
Therefore, when Job was sick, he was in captivity to the Devil. When Job
was in poverty, he was in captivity to the Devil. But God turned Job's
captivity! God gave Job twice as much as he had to begin with. That's
God at work!
Confession: God turns our captivity! He doesn't put us in bondage.
God sets us free! Through Jesus, I am free! I will never accept sickness
and disease as being from God! I know where it comes from and I stand
against it!
