A Positive Way Forward

This is an update following my recent post about my experience of being on the verge of homelessness. In the post, I shared that it was counter-intuitive to me that God would want me to hold on to and not relinquish my tenancy, but that I felt the best thing to do was trust what I understood God was telling me to do.

One commenter (in a spirit of graciousness and a desire to help) questioned whether I was hearing the voice of God correctly. I responded that it’s impossible to know, but that I felt the best thing to do was to trust in what I heard God saying, even if I didn’t understand the reasons for His directions.

Today, I was in a cafe, and I bumped into a guy who has become a friend through a few chance encounters in the cafe. We have a lot of experiences in common and I consider him to be a very kind and intelligent guy. We chatted this afternoon for a long while, and I explained to him all about my difficult accommodation situation. To cut a long story short, the subject of court proceedings was raised, and he encouraged me that the wisest thing I can do is pursue legal proceedings against my neighbour.

As I thought about it, it made perfect sense. This could be the reason why God has been telling me not to relinquish my tenancy, and the reason why I have been gathering many documents of evidence detailing the antisocial and dangerous behaviour I have been subjected to. I prayed about it, and God assured me that this is the right way forward.

I now feel a great sense of relief. Obviously, taking someone to court is no easy matter, and there will likely be some hard work and stress involved. But the most important thing for me is that I am doing God’s will, whatever it is. My overarching ambition in life is to be obedient to God’s will and live in a way that pleases Him so that I may be blessed in this life, be a blessing to others, and avoid the fires of hell on Judgement Day.

So much has happened since I’ve been living in that property and even though I have detailed notes, there is always the worry that I might not recall something correctly, that I would say the wrong thing in court, that I would not be allowed to explain something fully, and other such worries. But I must trust in God that if I prayerfully ask Him to help me convey the truth, that He will bring justice and a happy resolution.

This breakthrough comes after many of you kindly said you would pray for me. God has answered your prayers and mine. I am still in a financially troubling position and would still be grateful for donations if any of you are in a position to help me out. I won’t be going back to the flat until this matter is resolved, unless God wills otherwise. So I don’t know where I will be sleeping from night to night. You can find the donations page here if you would like to help support me to pay for emergency food and accommodation.

I do not have money to instruct a solicitor, but fortunately there are some avenues that I can pursue that may enable me to get legal support free of charge. This is today’s prayer request, that I would find legal help from a person (or persons) that are friendly, understanding, helpful, and supportive.

I will say again that I feel a huge sense of relief now that I have a clear sense of what to do. Thank you again for reading my blog and for your support and your prayers. May God bless you all.
