Buy, rent, sell.

In the last month or so, we have heard a number of testimonies relating to the buying, selling or renting of houses. One man was given notice of the intention to sell the property he was renting, which left him with only a short amount of time to find a new home, in a area where rentals are in high demand. But with God involved in the house hunt, not only did he find a house, it was also the first house he applied for! A stressful experience was made short and simple.

One member of the church had a stepdaughter looking to buy a nice, affordable home. All of the houses she had looked at had been far too expensive. Wanting his stepdaughter to find a home, this man prayed for the right one to become available. His prayer was answered when his daughter was approved for a house that was in the area she wanted and was well under budget.

Another man has a mother who's health was failing, which meant that she could no longer live in her house. Wanting to sell the house quickly without hassle, he prayed and the house was promptly sold - over the asking price! Encouraged by this testimony, another man in the church decided to pray for his own mother's house that had been on the market for a long time. His prayers were also answered when that house was sold! This showed us all that not only are these testimonies important to the person telling the story, but also to those who hear it. What happens to one person can be such an encouragement to someone else!
