ORIGINAL: Knolt
I'm known by some Christians use a few choice words when I talk about my current affliction(s). I have a tendency to get so angry sometimes in my trials and afflictions I can't help it. I've also been known to pray like this to God, "God I know Your Word says to be thankful for all your trials and tribulations," I would then yell up to heaven, "Well I’m not thankful for this at all!! THIS SUCKS! WHY DOES IT HAVE TO BE THIS WAY!!?"
Funny though, years ago i would have thought that prayer to have been totally sacrilegious.
Greetings,
Just recently I had the same conversation as I came up against the world system, so this is a natural manifestation in the testimony I will give…not a Spiritual one….
Let me explain in principal what I was allowed to glean
I remembered that is written that all things have become new, therefore many of those past afflictions that Satan had control in affairs of the governing authorities over me before I saved, haven’t come into its season, (fulfillment) which is written in verse 18 below (and quite frankly there is nothing we can do until it does)
In this particular case it is concerning my application for unemployment comp and the Lord saw to it that I had just enough $$ to qualify, in the amount $12.00, because the State rigged an amount that came up short monetarily
I presented this correction and all hell broke loose within the system, so when these ugly situations came up again and again, as in the past where I had no victory….I had no victory because I never rebuked it, simple because in the past the law was not fulfilled in my life in principal and Satan kept getting the victory.
…..This was the last time, because I knew it was the Lord who allowed me to find that one pay stub that made me eligible by $12.00….
So it is up to us to pay attention to stuff like that.
Needless to say when I did they sought every which way to find a way to keep me form getting my compensation.
…..But from the very beginning I knew who I was up against, so by FAITH I turned it over to the Lord and kept the mindset that they had absolutely nothing to produce that would keep me from receiving that which I was eligible for… because I knew it was the Lord who allowed me to find that one extra pay stub ….
Let me explain the principal I was allowed to glean from this experience as written in v
17 "Do not think that I came to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I did not come to destroy but to fulfill.
In the past I was found guilty of milking the unemployment system some 20 years ago because I didn’t know any better….r and those things puts one into a loop of planned harassment concerning future UI compensations, therefore I was under that law,
Although it was forgiven me Jesus does not take that away and justify it, therefore when He said Do not think that I came to destroy the Law, he means it! But like in the book of Job there is also a limit given to the affliction.
Strictly speaking of my past sins…I have seen that in a sense many of the afflictions we suffer are from those things that are coming into its season.
18 For assuredly, I say to you, till heaven and earth pass away, one jot or one tittle will by no means pass from the law till “all” is fulfilled.
The word “All” is a 2 sided fulfillment,
The first side of ALL things is that fulfillment in like manner that will not pass from the law, until it is fulfilled, meaning that when we break it a price will be paid;
…The other side means when it has come into its season, there is no longer that recollection of debt in the Lords Eyes because we have paid that price…. and we now have the right to say “enough is enough!! ….Should Satan continues to raise these situations over and over again, after that price was paid….. We now the right to rebuke it!
……God is not going to do that for us.
31 Do we then make void the law through faith? Certainly not! On the contrary, we establish the law.

The prayer I prayed was a standing prayer and the very first thing I did was not to deny that I did wrong in the past and to confess it and then reminded God of His word and then saying to Him, …….I have had enough, why are you going to allow Satan another victory? How many times do I have to pay for the same issue before it ends?
…….So “I rebuked”… “Satan personally” [:'(] and said to God it is now in your hands,
…….I said what I felt and “did not deny the facts” of my past, as if He owes me something…. and said enough was enough…. then I had to wait!!! …SO now the trial begins
Directly after that….. Letter after letter went back and forth with the UI who asked for this information and that information so they can make a decision but actually is was because were looking to trip me up….. and with each response I totally removed any doubt from my mind.[:(]
This went on for the “entire length” of 26 weeks… as the trial dictates, and I received no compensation whatsoever.
Until one day without another word being spoken I went to the mailbox to get the mail after repeated notations form their lawyers and the UI officials that I do not have a case and will not be found eligible … (Sounds like some of the so called prophets here in the forums ..LOL!)… In it was all 26 weeks paid in full!!![;)]
Now, being that it was shown to me just how easy it is, He has given me another task against the system and if this thread is still active, when this one is over…. I’ll praise Him again.
