Chapter Eight
Delay Obedience – Is Disobedience
“If you will only let me help you if you will only obey, then I will make you rich.”
Isaiah 1:19 (LB)
Months had passed, and now it was November. The Lord told me to pack again. He said to me to put some money aside every week so that when it was time to move, I would have enough money. I was told by the Lord to go into an apartment that I could afford. With no questions asked, the search was back on. I began looking for an apartment.
With no support coming in from my husband, it …show more content…
It was a drug-infested area, and they fought over there like cats and dogs. The police stayed over there because someone was always getting shot or beaten up. Besides, it was infested with roaches and big water bugs. I knew I wasn’t going over there. Maybe seven out of ten people, I talked to about that place, had something negative to say, even though some of them lived there or had lived there.
It was the third week in November, and I still had not found a place to stay. That was the same weekend that we had praise and worship. I wanted confirmation from God about that apartment. The Lord spoke these words:
“I would not send you anywhere that is not safe. Be not afraid. I will protect you and your girls. Go. Move.”
Right after that, the Lord personally spoke to me and told me exactly where to go. It was the apartment complex that everyone spoke so negatively concerning that place. When He put it in my mind, I tried my best to block it out, but it would not go away. At that time, I didn’t fully understand why it popped into my head. I wasn’t even thinking that it was the Lord telling me to go there. I figured it was coming from …show more content…
“Do you know what kind of area that place is? Why do you think the rental is so cheap?”
She was implying that the apartment’s location is in the projects. I answered, “I know Peaches, but this is where I believe I must go.”
That same afternoon, I told my sister in Christ, what I was feeling, and she told me the same thing; she advised that I go and look at some other apartments. She then gave me the directions to another apartment location along with other people I talked to. No one could believe that the Lord could be telling me to go there, especially the saints.
Every residence that had been recommended turned me down. I became very frustrated and tired. I tried to fight back the tears that were forming in my eyes when the last place I went turned me down. I went outside and sat in my van, and said to the Lord, “Wherever You want me to go, I’ll go.”
God had already put in my spirit where He wanted me to go, but I didn’t want to. He closed every door. He made it so that I did not have a choice. I’ve learned that most of the times, the main thing or place that you fear the most is precisely where your blessings are. God is waiting for you so that you can receive
