Hey Guys,
I don't know what to say in regards to my friend who brought the million dollar home except for that sometimes to learn a lesson we have to go through some things.... But for some claraification and discussion let me add some more details to this situation...
One my friend has been saved for many, many years. She does have the Holy Ghost and speaks in tongues. This specific house may have been more of her desire than to live in a million dollar home althought she did express that....
This house in particular was one of her and her mother's desire. Apparently they wanted to buy this house many years prior. I would say something like almost 10 to 15 years prior but were unable to do so at that time because the clearly could not afford it. They were so in love with the house's design that at one point they decided that if they couldn't buy that particular house that they would one day have one bulit like it. In fact they spent over 1K in getting the floor plans and designs in order to have a similar house made one day.
For many years they put this house out of their minds and went on with life. The home in which they were living was very nice and had plenty of space for 2 people. In fact my friend states that she felt that God was urging her to move out of their home when she started looking again. In fact her words were that, "God woke me up in the middle of the night and told me to start looking. I got online and starting looking for homes and then amazingly I saw that the house me and my mother always wanted was up for sale!"
Now people.... How many of us have been in this position??? How many of us wouldn't have thought this wasn't God?
Then everything little thing that happened afterwards seemed like a "Confirmation" rather than a "Coinsidence" sp? From the word from a preacher, the fact that they guy brought their home in the process so she could get the loan, they fact that he gave her furniture, so many other things. In fact when she originally told me the story as a testimony, I certainly didn't doubt the possiblity that it was God...
I didn't have my doubts until a good year and a half later when she gave me that call.... Then I knew that something was "off". I definitely felt that she was in trouble due to her being in a home she couldn't pay for... And apparently it is quite the palace! So much so that she even asked me not to tell anybody in our social group that she had moved ( many are doctors and other folks in medicine) She stated that she didn't want them to see her home out of the fear of jealousy.... Now I was really surprised by that. But true to form she is kind of withdrawn now.
I know that she feels uncomfortable ever since I told her "No" to lending her money for a fureral. I don't know if the uncomfortable-ness is due to the fact that I knew about her home or to the fact that the person who lent her the money didn't know? But even now I still feel she is under the weight of something she can't bear....
Now I believe that the blessing of the Lord don't add any sorrow.... would that apply here? It is also believed that God will give us the desires of our hearts... I'm sure that she believed that was the case in regards to this house since it was something that she desired for a long time.....
But whether or not this was God.... THAT I have my doubts...
