Kingdom Finance Series | The Story of Job… Trials and Tests Will Come

August 15, 2017 by Curt Landry Ministries

The Patience of Job…

“He must have the patience of Job.” We’ve all heard this famous line… or have maybe even spoken it out ourselves at times. The story of Job is a testament of noble perseverance in the face of tests and trials. This story can seem unfair or confusing at times. Yet, the Lord makes no mistakes and uses all things for our good, as well as for His.

Job’s mindset is remarkable. Scripture states that he “feared God and shunned evil” (Job 1:1). As the story continues, we witness Job’s many blessings followed by God allowing death and destruction to enter his life. Why? To continue to purify and cleanse our hearts of any contaminates that keep us from experiencing His presence.

What is Our Response to Tests and Trials?

During Job’s first test, he lost all of his possessions. While Job was grief-stricken, what did he do? He praised the Lord! Is this your response?

“The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”—Job 1:21

In Job’s story, many told him that he must have done something wrong. His wife even told him to let go of his integrity and curse God. Job persevered knowing that he didn’t understand it all, but trusted that God was still who He claimed to be.

“He replied, ‘You are talking like a foolish woman. Shall we accept good from God and not trouble?’”—Job 2:10

It is easy to praise the Lord when we are blessed. However, during tests and trials God also wants to see you prosper in spirit and to rely on Him alone.

Job’s life is a prime illustration of how we can battle during tests and trials. We can be assured that they will come, but God’s Word says to count them as blessings. This goes against our carnal mind; however, Holy Spirit equips us.

“My brethren, take the prophets, who spoke in the name of the Lord, as an example of suffering and patience. Indeed we count them blessed who endure. You have heard of the perseverance of Job and seen the end intended by the Lord—that the Lord is very compassionate and merciful.”—James 5:10-11

You’ve had a breakthrough…and now a trial. What do you do?

  • Do not focus on blame: This is a sly ploy of the enemy. The enemy wants you to blame others, and even the Lord, for your current state of misfortune and trial. It is only natural to be hurt or angry in the wake of destruction, but allowing yourself to focus more on passing blame only serves to harm your faith.
  • Watch your thoughts and words: Don’t let the tricks of the enemy invade your thought-life. Ask yourself, are these thoughts from the Lord? Do they sound like His voice? Would God speak this way to His beloved? Do not come in agreement with negative thought patterns. Do not speak those curses outwardly over your life.
  • Pray for restoration: Not only physical, relational or financial restoration, but spiritual restoration. During some trials, a solution seems impossible. For with God, all things are possible (see Matthew 19:26). If the trial involves others, which most do, pray for them. They could be deeply wounded—both spiritually and emotionally, as well. Pray that God is able to work in their hearts just as He does in yours.

Remember… “For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.”—Ephesians 6:12

  • Reflect on scripture: In times of such testing and trials, the Word of God brings comfort. It is pure and unchanging. Allow God’s Word to penetrate your heart, will, mind and emotions. When your own words fail you in prayer, let God’s do the job instead.

This Isn’t to Alarm You…

I know I have just spent time speaking about the many blessings that come though tithes and offerings, but I would not be completely honest if I didn’t share that when you chose to follow God’s ways, the path is not always easy. This isn’t to alarm you… it is to prepare you to live victoriously in the face of any obstacle that stands in your way. Tests and trials are sure to come, but God’s promises stand the test of time.

Allow God’s Spirit to cleanse any impurities in your heart during these times, consider them blessings, and wait upon the Lord to restore all that was stolen.

We would like to pray with you during these trials. You are not alone and there is power in prayer. You are invited to make an appointment with our prayer team today and take a step towards restoration.

We are excited to continue this journey of Kingdom Finance with you. Please continue to check back as we address Wealth Transfer and Being Good Stewards of Great Wealth.

TAKING THE GOSPEL OF YESHUA HAMASHIACH (JESUS THE MESSIAH) INTO ALL THE NATIONS!

The One New Man Network acts as a voice to the Nations, walking out the instructions of Mark 16:15, “…Go into all the world and preach and publish openly the good news (the Gospel) to every creature.” With the vision to preach and to publish openly the good news, The One New Man Network brings a message of salvation that can be heard throughout the Nations of the World!

MISSION, VISION & PURPOSE:

The mission of The One New Man Network is to be a bridge of unity and restoration between Israel and the Church, releasing God’s fullness throughout the earth. Our vision is to bring revival to Israel, the Church, and the nations through a deeper understanding and revelation of the power of covenant. Our purpose is to facilitate covenant restoration through the reconciliation of Jews and Gentiles coming together as the One New Man.

OUR CORE VALUES:

Honor– We believe that honor is a force and we treat each person with a level of value and respect that allows us to take the role of a servant in the relationship.

Truth– We believe that God’s truth has the power to set people free, and we do everything in our power to remain faithful to His truth, in thought, in word, and in deed.

Integrity– We adhere to biblically based moral and ethical principles, and maintain these principles both in public and in private.

Statement of Faith

What We Believe…

We believe that the Bible and all the scriptures within both Old and New Testaments are the infallible and inspired Word of God.

We believe that there is one God, our creator, manifested into three persons – God the Father, Jesus the Son, our Savior and the Holy Spirit, the very Spirit of God, who provides spiritual power for daily living and Godly service.
