I have long prayed for a breakthrough but every day is worse. Just 8 years ago my family had a beautiful ministry which blessed us and so many others, every day. Then jealousy crept in and even though we tried to deal with it, with His help, it destroyed our entire church. We left as I felt Him tell me this was His battle.
Our next church was even more of a blessing and my daughter found her future husband, our ministries were incredible once again and expanded. Yet the old jealousies crept back in. We ignored them mostly and left them for Him to deal with as they were not ours. I am talking death threats, sexual attacks on my daughters - including by a Pastor, theft, physical attacks, business destruction and so on.
Fast forward 8 years and the story is so hurtful we rarely discuss it. My daughter is a widow, and she lost their baby. Sickness has plagued our family, our ministries were destroyed - while all our work which we gladly did, has been stolen and destroyed, with so many others not only taking credit, but being rewarded. Those who pushed my children even out of Sunday School are laughing in our faces while doing so well according to everyone.
I have lost my marriage, business, bullying towards my children resulted in not only police assistance but having to relocate. As my precious son in law was in the public eye, people came out of the woodwork to destroy his name - before and after his death. It's like we now live in a sea of mud - wading every minute of every day. Even prayer and fasting leaves us with nothing - yet just a short few years ago we led prayer chains and helped teach others how to be blessed.
I am so heavily in debt, losing our house in 3 days, about to lose my income in 10 days and in more debt than I have ever been, despite being careful and helping others every single day.
We need a real miracle. No more death, no more sickness, no more attacks, no more failures. We have believed He would answer prayer for so long now I have forgotten what waking up to blessings feels like. Even the extended Christian family we upheld and counselled and helped over the years have turned against us, our ministries destroyed. It is so difficult and unbelievable. If I heard it from someone else I would think they had no faith but believe me, we do - and I am only sharing a small amount of what has happened because if I put it here no one would cope because it includes physical abuse and worse. It needs to stop, whatever is over us needs to stop. We just need our blessings, that is all.
Please join us in prayer as no amount of prayer so far has changed our lives. We are now laughingly described as Job's family.
GBU all.
