They will fight against you, but they will not prevail against you; for I am with you, says Yahweh, to rescue you. Jeremiah 1:19 WEB.
Things were finally going well in our computer business. We had one particularly large client with multiple locations that took up all the time that we could give them. For the first time in forever, we could work all that we wanted, and they loved us. They gave us our own keys to the buildings and alarm codes.
The manager and employees knew that we were ordained and would often ask us to pray for them or their families while we were there. We would anoint them with oil right there at their desks, the Holy Spirit would settle on them, and soon they would be in tears. Yep, it was a great relationship.
Then one night, I had a dream that I was driving a dump truck with their logo on the door. I was pulling a long trailer with a backhoe on it. Someone had sabotaged the trailer, and they had loosened the chains that held the backhoe. So when I turned a corner, it ran off the trailer and into a building. In the dream, the people present started blaming me for it and pointing at me like it was my fault.
Right after this dream, we lost that client. We learned later that the company had brought in a new manager, and their younger brother did computer work like us. So they started intentionally breaking things and blaming us for it. They sabotaged the computer network and convinced the owner to bring in their brother to fix it, who sold them all new equipment.
That worked for them for about one year, then God spoke to us again. My wife Sylvia had a dream that I called her from this company's office. In her dream, I was there working on their computers again. When the owner called us the following week, I was expecting it, for the Lord had once again shown us what was coming.
The Lord exposed what the new manager had been doing, and they were caught in some very bad things. They were fired and escorted to the door. The owner then had us come back in to do forensics, recover their deleted files, and re-secure their network. The Lord cared about what happened in our business because we included Him in it daily. He saw what was happening in our life and warned us to prepare for it both times. Also, most of the new equipment they purchased was given to us right before we started Refreshing Hope! They bought it for us.
Know that when you are wronged, God sees it, and in due time He will make things right. So don't stoop to their level. Keep a positive attitude, keep on praying, and treat others like you would like to be treated. God isn't so distant in the universe that He can't be bothered with the small problems of your life. If you invite Him to be a part of what you are doing, He will. We must continue our relationship with God, apart from our circumstances.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for being there for me. I know that I am not alone, for You are by my side. Please be a part of every area of my life and help me become the best version of myself. In the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!

I’ve invited the Landlord to church or meetings yet she always denies. She goes to a unity. Church doesn’t like to refer to God as him but as her… She asked me if I was a traditional Christian. I told her that I was a hard-core Pentecostal and follow Jesus. She didn’t really like that too much Anyway I still wonder about my reoccurring dreams going off the road and down the cliff into the Columbia river thank God I always wake up
I have a landlord right now that lives next-door. She often comes over under the guise of doing laundry because she has no facilities in her house. she has come over many times uninvited invading our privacy. I have three roommates finally we all compared notes and decided to have a house meeting to confront her on this issue seem like she was shocked and upset, but did agree to give us 24 hours notice before coming over, which is the Washington state law. This lady continues to come over uninvited letting herself in asking if she could come in and then come in anyway it’s been very hard to love her goes by way of saying last year before I lost my job. I had a reoccurring dream that I careened off the road, Into the Columbia River, which is a huge river between Oregon and Washington on the West Coast. I had this dream again a few weeks ago just when I’m about to hit the water. I always wake up thank God always seems to have that same dream before a big change in my life.
Heavenly Father I Thank You For Always Being There No Matter What Going On In My Life Please Continue To Be Apart Of My Life And Help Me Become The Best Version Of Myself Amen Good Morning Everyone 😀
