RE: Need a place to move - MidnightWarrior - 04-21-2010 05:29 AM
Dear Guest, thank you for the prayers and Scritpure!
I am seeking, knocking, asking, and that Scripture has given me hope here in the wee hours of the morning. I felt so sure about the place I turned in the application, because it seemed to happen exactly in accordance with something I prayed...so, as I go to check on this other place, if that is the one, I still believe God can have the other potential renter drop out or the managers can decide on me...or whatever miracle God might do.
I am open to His leading but do also believe He just sometimes gives us what we want because He loves to bless His children, and, if it isn't sinful, why does He really care if I do it -- or live there? (Is there any sort of discussion forum on this board, by the way?). This seems to be a big discussion issue on another site I'm on: Is it "ask what you will and it will be done unto you" (as in I could get exact place I ask God for) or is it "Not my will but Yours be done" as in, God has the place all picked out and I just do whatever God wants me to do?
If I knew 100% for sure I was supposed to claim this place I applied as mine, then I would do it, no faith wavering. But I haven't heard God tell me to do this...so, after claiming it as mine, I did add "Nevertheless, whatever YOU want, God."
And then, sometimes, I think I hear God so plainly...and it turns out I heard all wrong in retrospect of what happens.... So, not only do I need a place to move and the really right place...I need to hear clearly from God in all this, and I desire wisdom. He says He gives wisdom LIBERALLY to those who ask. And, sometimes I just feel confused...though I know confusion is of the devil. So, along with praying I get a good place to live for a reasonable rent, etc., pray I have wisdom, insight, understanding, learn how to hear God better...and that I just stay at peace over this situation.
When I heard there was no vacancy at the one I applied to, I didn't get upset...and I felt peace about it all...so I praise God for that! I thought I might get all emotional and cry or something...but I actually felt better than I did when waiting for a phone call.
Now, I have called on one where I can see inside the studios and one bedrooms. If I heard right the studios are bigger than most studios and rent right around the same price or cheaper than most studios in this area. I am asking for enough space to fit all my stuff (so hopefully they offer a storage space or good closet space). The studio would save me on rent, so I am now thinking to try for one if it is favorable in size. Originally, was asking for one bedroom, as some studios are barely bigger than my bedroom.
I thank you all for praying!
It's getting down to crunch time on this move...so I really do need to secure a place. Knowing people are praying helps so much. I KNOW God has a plan for me...and sometimes He is a Red Sea God with me...only was hoping He woudn't be this time. My sister is getting married May 1, and I would really like to have something by then. Still, I know the plans of a man are in his heart but the reply of the tongue is from the Lord. He truly knows best, and I have to keep releasing this to Him. I am a single gal, and if I could get a decent roomate that would be cool, too. But it would have to be a strong Christian who would keep things clean. I live with messy people now, and I am so looking forward to a cleaner enivornment when I move. I started praying to move from here a while ago to get free of the mess, but I had to stay and help pay rent...then, my sister met this guy, and they are getting married, so we are breaking up this living situation (two of her kids already moved on their own from here). So, God did release me from living with family through that...which answered that prayer that I could move to live on my own and get away from the mess....
Anyway, sorry for sharing my life's story.
I do get wordy, sometimes... I thank you, once more, for praying. 
Lord, lead me to the right place. I hope it's B - - - - - - - n or S P to which I applied, so I can get a place secured. I pray I have peace. If I apply, I pray I am not on pins and needles waiting. Help me to be calm as I wait. I know the first two moves from family, I got the reply so quick. I had worried I didn't make enough income the first time, and I got right in, no problems. Then, the next time, I was able to secure low income when friends told me they were on waiting lists and couldn't get in...and I heard right back within a week (or less). I am so thankful for those successful moves, and I look forward to another! I know You have the right place for me, and I believe I can take the kitties (remove the fear and condemnation that maybe I am being selfish or asking for too much there).
I just claim, now, in the Name of Jesus, that my apartment/duplex/place manifests! Lord, I already altered my prayer to asking for less than I had originally wanted...so if the original prayer is OK and right...answer that one for the 1 bedroom (possibly two), with the washer and dryer in the unit that will take cats, that is on the bus line and that is near to work...for a reasonable price. I pray for You to bless me beyond what I am thinking or asking. Nothing is too difficult for You, and I do not want to limit You. But, I also know You are Sovereign and I would rather be in Your will than out, no matter how this goes. So, Lord, I pray for You to come through, quickly, and show me which place is mine. If there is a place coming open for rent that is better and mine, bring it to my attention. Put it in the newspaper listings or bring someone across my path to tell me of it.
Bring me FAVOR for the most reasonable rent for what I am getting...as most cheap places around here are dumpy or have roaches. Spare me getting into a run down place for cheap rent. Let me not get into rent that over extends my finances, either. Supply, miraculously, as only You can. I ask, in the Mighty Name of Jesus I pray, amen.

Lord help this child of yours find the right place soon where they will accept the her cats, for you know they are like family to us. May they not have to be separated from this person. May this person hears soon of a place that have accepted them, which they can afford, in the area that will be more convenient for them, also with the utilities they have been praying for. We know you are an awesome God who loves us and hear our prayers Lord and gives us the desires of our heart. So let us who are praying for this request here good news soon. Have your perfect will be done in this situation, and give this person the assurance that you are with them at all times guiding their steps to where you want them. I pray and thank you in advance in Jesus Christ Precious Name, as I give you all the Honor and the Glory Heavenly Father to whom all power belongs, Amen!

RE: Need a place to move - MidnightWarrior - 04-21-2010 10:30 PM
bcshelvsme, I want to thank You so much for your prayers and the prayers of all of you who posted here.
I applied for a studio, and it wasn't what I originally had in mind but it will save me A LOT of money, as I should be able to pay rent/utilities out of one paycheck, rather than out of two different ones. Cell phone and internet would be seperate as rent includes power/cable/gas heat. So, I am really hoping on the place, though it's quite tiny...and how to fit all my stuff is the question.
But I am praying that I get it, as they said my income is enough for the rent price of the studio, and this would leave me a good chunk of money after my bills are paid. I can take the cats, and do have all the money saved for the damage deposit, first rent and pet deposit. So, pray that if this is really God's will, I get it.MidnightWarrior

Dear Heavenly Father do please help MidnightWarrior to get this studio where she can do some savings and still keep her cats. I'm sure she can consolidate some of her things and have a relative keep what she doesn't need every day in storage for her in their home for when she needs it. Help her to be able to work it all out with your help, and to hear from them soon with a yes. May she be able to live the rest of her life in peace, and not having to worry anymore of moving again or not having enough money. Give her the comforts of this world that she needs Lord as your will is done in her life here on earth as it is in heaven. I pray and thank you in advance in Jesus Christ Precious Name, as I give you all the Honor and the Glory Heavenly Father to whom all power belongs, Amen!

RE: Need a place to move - MidnightWarrior - 04-22-2010 10:30 PM
Thank you for the gracious prayers. I saw another for rent that is a one bedroom and a little more money...but, for some reason, I really want the studio. Anyway, God knows...and I thank you all for praying. It's up to Him.
Thank You, Lord, for peace and joy tonight...and that the harder they try to put condemnation on me, the lesse I accept it. Thank you!!!
Thank You!!! Thank You!!! that I am trusting you for the right place no matter what others may say about me asking wrong and so on....Well, You know. Thanks, Lord. I have gotten too focused on this perhaps, so I just release it all to You, again, and I pray that I can walk and talk with You as in days of old. Let me be a "House of Prayer" once more...and if You want me to get the place for the physcial house of prayer, provide it! I ask and pray, in Jesus Name, amen.
RE: Need a place to move - MidnightWarrior - 04-23-2010 06:34 PM
Well, some really harsh, judgmental stuff was said to me...and the devil used it, big time, to put a spirit of fear and condemnation on me...and I wavered between thinking I wouldn't get a place to live on time and that I was a bad Christian for focusing too much on the fact I have to move. I was so beat up on by the devil taking this well meaning Christian's words and telling me lies all day...and I felt so scared and like I just couldn't connect with God. I felt like God was way outside my anxious thoughts and my mind was seperated from thinking rationally toward God (if that makes any sense.) This was going on all day at work, and I am much calmer now. So, I praise the Lord that I feel calmer now. Typing this, is kind of stirring up the negative thoughts/feelings, though. Anyway, pray I am delivered from anxiety and condemnation. I have been telling the devil through out the day, "Get thee behind me Satan," and saying, "Spirit of fear GO!!!, in the Name of Jesus."
For some reason this person thinks I am selfish in what I am asking for and that I am too focused on thoughts of moving to having forgotten about God. But every place I read on in the paper, call for info, go check out, apply for is a place I pray over telling God if this is the place let me know, indicated clearly, give me FAVOR for it, etc. I have not taken one step of this journey without praying for FAVOR for the right place. I absolutely do not know what this person's deal is about me getting into a half way decent place to live. It is really discouraging, and I am praying for wisdom in how to deal with them. But pray I don't take any of their condemning comments to heart. I was really getting freaked at work and I thought I was going to make myself so nervous I would throw up.
The devil, for some reason, is really attacking my mind/thoughts in regards to moving. He is using this person, for one, to say things that are just uncalled for. Pray for me to know how to fight the devil on this one. Obviously, there is something about this move the devil opposes. Or why such opposition from someone who should be helpful and encouraging at this difficult time? I don't know why the devil doesn't want me to pray and believe for a good place to live...but God must be up to something in all this for the devil to fight me so hard. What was going on at work, today, was obviously a demonic attack.
I thank you all for praying.
I thank the Lord he understands my human fraility in this matter.
Please, brothers and sisters, I was losing the battle so badly today...just pray I can have peace. Pray if it's not the studio (haven't heard anything yet), I quickly find the one God has been lining up for me all along.

Dear Father, I thank You for the peace that has come over me since leaving work...and for other truth coming to light about what is going on in my life and a situation I am dealing with. Thank You for making the source of this battle abundantly plain! I am glad that You have shown me another piece of this puzzle and why the devil was coming after me so hard today. I see something more plainly about the opposition to what I am praying for in asking for a good place to move. Dear Lord, I prayed in a thread on here about a school and how people were finding it hard to pray...just as I have been opposed in praying for this by someone. So, Lord, I pray against the spirit of prayerlessness. I pray that all of us prayer warriors
will RISE UP and give You no rest and give ourselves no rest...and pray without ceasing! It says in Your Word that with prayer and thanksgiving in EVERYTHING, we are to make our requests known unto You...and the peace that passes understanding will keep our hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. In other words, the devil opposes us praying and turning everything over to You in prayer. So, now, Lord, I see better to fight this battle. Thank You for that prayer posted on here and how it led me to see more clearly what I am dealing with. May we, through Your Spirit, give the spirit of prayerlessness a MIGHTY BLOW!!! May we continue to pray for everything on our hearts and minds (and ignore those negative people around us who try to discourage us from praying). I ask that I may RISE UP to fight this battle! I ask that not only is the spirit of prayerlessness BANISHED from my/our lives. I ask that I may get an awesome place to live, too! In the Mighty Name of Jesus, 
!!!

Lord please help her find an apt.That she'll be happy with. In jesus name amen.
Have you searched for an apartment online, I know you can search by the location and how much you want to pay, and they usually have pics of them as well.
RE: Need a place to move - MidnightWarrior - 04-26-2010 05:21 PM
Thanks all for the prayers. I have searched on line...but it sounds like I will get the studio. And, originally, I just got out the phone book and called this place up and chatted with the manager about their termrs and policies. So, when I finally recontacted her (she was out of town during the days she said she would know if something was coming open), she set up a time for me to come to see the apartment(s). She showed me the stuido, because it was in the price range I would have to pay on my income. Got the application, took it back a little later that day...and, now, today when I called she said her fax machine went down, so she hadn't finished the checks...but she was pretty sure I would get it!
So, I will let you know when the deal is 100% for sure, which I am believing for! Praise the Lord!!!Thank You, Jesus, for peace since that bout with the demonic attack on Friday...and thanks that I didn't waste time worrying, because it would have been wasted, if I am going to get the place, anyway. I pray for FAVOR for it to come all the way through. Let her fax machine be working soon, so she can complete the checks, and let me be in, QUICK, so we can start moving stuff before my sister's wedding on Saturday. I ask that all goes smoothly with everyone's transistions to new places and that we get this place cleaned up in a timely fashion, so we can move on into the next chapters of our lives. In the Name of Jesus, amen.
