Most people remember the story of Satan accusing Job. But you may not recall Satan doing the same thing to Joshua the High Priest. Instead of allowing Satan to touch Joshua, like He did with Job, the Lord rebuked Satan. Joshua was then given clean clothes and all his sins were forgiven.

Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments.

Zechariah 3:4

Satan still accuses God’s people, but he will be thrown down (Revelation 12:10). Satan is like a roaring lion (I Peter 5:8), but God restores, confirms, strengthens and establishes those in Christ. If those in God resist Satan, he will flee (James 4:7). The Holy Spirit in you is greater than Satan (I John 4:4). Jesus intercedes (Hebrews 7:25). God forgives those who are repentant (I John 1:9).

Many problems face the people and leaders of this country, but their greatest need is to seek forgiveness and turn to the Lord. Ask your Heavenly Father to send a spiritual revival to this nation. God is able to “remove the iniquity of this land in a single day.” (Zechariah 3:9)
