Readers, tonight I want to discuss with you about terms that you will frequently hear used in a court of law by the judge, the lawyer who defends you, and the lawyer who accuses you of wrongdoing. We will also hear similar terms used in a court hearing in heaven before our Judge and Defender, Jesus Christ, and our accuser, Satan. The Bible says, “Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them. And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and from on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it." Job 1:6-7. Readers, do you know what Satan was doing "from going to and from on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it." He was looking for evidence of our wrongdoing so he can accuse us before God the Father. “Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that [there is] none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?" Job 1:8. Satan has nothing that he can show to God the Father to accuse Job of any wrongdoing, nothing! Why? Job fears God and shuns evil. Do we fear God and shun evil? Let me rewrite the question. Do we fear God? I don’t see any evidence that we fear God, none. The fact that we abolished all of His commandments is not evidence that we fear God. How then can we say that we shun evil if we have no fear of God? Is that not the reason why we are doing things behind “closed doors”, because we have no fear of God? Is that not the reason why we are still living in sin because we have no fear of God?
What would it take for us to fear God, what? Don’t we know that God is a HOLY SPIRIT? Ananias and Sapphira have no fear of the Holy Spirit. Bro, do not give Satan a chance to accuse us of any wrongdoing. We must be careful in what we say and what we do so we give Satan no chance to accuse us of any wrongdoing, none at all. And it must all begin with the fear of the Lord. When we do that, Satan's accusations against us will all be denied or dismissed by God the Father. “Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, ‘Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.’” Revelation 12:10.
