27 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
Job makes it clear who he is. I will not be forced to lie to make you feel good. I will die knowing that I have done nothing wrong and it will show I lack integrity if I change because everyone is against me. The church that Jesu established has the same principle. You come against me with empty words, you say I am not the church of that God started, you are greater in number, and you do your best to intimidate me. Job said I am not having it. I am who I say I am and I do not care what you say differently.
People must get to know God. To get to know God is to study His Word. We will not have what the Word says if we don't know what the Word says. The Word of God is all we need. Religion has done a disservice to mankind. Religion is a major blockage to the world. Father, I pray that every church that is not teaching your word after they have been given an opportunity to hear, be removed and identified as a tree that has no fruit.
One reason the church cannot hear or will not hear is that the person who is representing God does not look like or possess what they will accept as a messenger from God. Job does not look like a representative and Jesus did not look like a representative. So the church does not listen and therefore the church remains unchanged.
God allowed Job to be ripped off of everything religion wanted as a representative. Job 7 sons that showed strength in the family, Job had cattle, Job had influence, Job had servants, Job had friends and none of that could measure to who Job was. Job had integrity. When all was taken and even his wife spoke and said you are better off dead. God wants his church to be established on truth! Integrity! His Word is all that!!!!!!
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Job concludes his message by saying if you try to bring anything other than the Word of God to change the lives of people, people will be glad you are dead and clap when you are buried.
Any message or messenger that does not represent the Word of God is wicked! To represent the Word of God is to first establish a reading plan and treat each book as a river that flows. A river is always moving. Do not skip around and make the flow go off its path. Stay within your lane and watch God unfold His own Word.
Sing or Say
Job 27
All the while my breath is in me,
and the spirit of God allows me to breathe
wickedness my lips won’t speak Nor my tongue utter deceit.
God forbid that I
should justify you:
My integrity I’ll die for
It will not be removed
I’ll hold on to my righteousness
and I will not let it go:
My heart won’t disappoint me
This is one thing I know.
