A couple of years ago, I had lost my job, lost friends, my family deserted me and I was going through marital problems because of our financial struggles.
We went back and forth with our mortgage bank to get a loan modification for four long years… I felt desperate, alone and in despair. Many a times I would cry out to God, but He in His great love would comfort me.
There were days where I just wanted to give up on keeping our house. I placed offerings on behalf of our home and prayed, read Psalm 112:3 “Wealth and riches are in my house and His righteousness endures forever” and many other Bible verses.
I even prayed all over the house placing my hands on each door, all the walls and everytime I would sweep and mop the floor I would pray for God’s grace and great mercy to give us our home.
Yes, I cried out to God for help and God gave us the Victory in Jesus Name!!
Just a couple of months ago, the bank is offered us a 40 yr mortgage loan with 2% interest rate!!! They said: “If you make your monthly payments on time, we will forgive $47,125.53 of the principal loan balance of your loan each year on the anniversary of your first trail period payment date for three years.”
Praise GOD, for HE alone is faithful!!
Jesus took me to the following scriptures:
- Deut 28 1-14 (turning my ways)
- Philipians 4:4-9, (dispite my pain and daily anxiety to rejoice in Him even in tears and confusion)
- Colossians 1:15 20 (The Supremacy of Christ above all things)
- Matthew 6:14-15 (for I had to forgive everyone who came against me, very painful experience because it was one of my most intentional things I had to do)
- Matthew 6:25-34 (I had to learn to trust in God once again every day and push all of my negative thoughts and emotions to the side)
- Matthew 12:33-37 and James 3 (training my thoughts and the words that came out of my mouth, which were careless and full of doubt).
- Proverbs 31 (in order to hold on to my marriage in understanding God’s purpose for it)
- John 5:19 Jesus said ” I tell you the truth”, and again in verse 24 “I tell you the truth” verse 25 ” I tell you the truth”
Jesus kept repeating how He was speaking the truth to me so I had a decision to make and it was to stop hearing what everyone else was declaring over my life and trust what Jesus was declaring instead.
I held on to the Word of Truth, even when I felt desperate, alone and in despair… But God!! By his Grace and great Mercy are we still living in this house! Praise God!
To God Be the Glory and ALL the Honor! AMEN!
