“Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still together on the way, or your adversary may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. Truly I tell you, you will not get out until you have paid the last penny."
MATTHEW 5:25-26
The laws of God are every bit as important to God as recognizing his son as the Only way. Lord Jesus lived through the spirit as God. He DID die for all people. After Jesus is accepted as your only way - live the Lord's commands. The spirit you receive for obeying the Lord will provide everything you need - when the Lord determines it is needed.
Jesus says to settle quickly with your adversary, not to plead your case and fight for your rights. This is the hidden battle that you must bring before the Lord. Jesus wants you to no longer insist on having your own personal will - but rather submit to his ways. This change in disposition occurs through the spirit of the Lord - it is received through faith and obedience to him. The spirit of the Lord cannot be given to any individual that remains in themselves rather than the Lord's will. The power is in him for his purpose.
Jesus is perfect and he lived a perfect life. His perfect spirit exists for you so you can do the same for him. Be insistent on proving the Lord is right through faith - but never insist in proving that you are right. You see the Lord can only use you if you are willing to do his will.
