Reclaiming the Land

We have had some intense times at the apartment as we've been reclaiming our inheritance and praying for the removal of any unwholesome presence from that place.

There have been police involved
The extremely noisy and chaotic removal of a prostitute
Big messes that need to be cleaned up...

Very unsettling, especially for Elsie and we are in training as to how to reestablish this place under God's rule.  We felt like we kind of moved on our own accord in trying to get the keys back - felt pressured because of the other tenants feeling unsafe and so on, but we are learning.  It created quite the fiasco!

Mostly we need to stay in a prayerful attitude and to wait for God's timing.

That's what we're doing in regards to the alleged drug dealers that have taken up residence in another suite.

Our hands are tied in many ways, but God's are not.
He is great and mighty and the apartment is ultimately His.
So we are trusting Him to give us wisdom and to work on our behalf.
We want to re-establish His presence in that place so the dear tenants can experience the peace of God and will be drawn to Him.
Even that precious "woman of the night" who needs healing and deliverance.
We are praying for her and for the other fellow that she weaselled her way in with.

As much as you never want to experience this kind of stress on your property, it has certainly forced us to look at things more closely and realize where we have abdicated our authority and have not properly stewarded our building.

So we are repenting and getting back on track.

God is kind and faithful.  We are all precious to Him.
We want to do things His way...

"Your Kingdom Come, Your Will be done,
Here on earth as it is in Heaven'.
