Hi All

Hello everyone,

Would you pray for us? We are having to take our renters to small claims court for back payment and damages and they are throwing a huge hissy fit and making all kinds of outrageous claims. Yes, I want to win this and I think we will.

I think I am having some pretty severe flashbacks to when we were sued by those people when we pastored. I have never completely gotten over that and my nerves are shot. My husband said "These renters have nothing to go on. They are just blowing smoke". And they are.....but they have the same spirit that the people that sued us had......they up and up and up the ante, even though they are in the wrong. They make (and made) huge illegitimate claims that are completely unfounded. Only, the torture of those folks that sued us went on daily for about three years.

Do you know what it is like to have to be hyper vigilant, on your toes, ready for psychological warfare for the course of three years? Not just with the people that sued, but with the church, the district who was watching our every step because of false accusations etc? Having the cops called on you, having your lights smashed out on your truck, having people go by at three o'clock in the morning for weeks beeping their horn, following you, stalking you and there was nothing NOTHING you could do about it? Nope, I guess you probably don't.

Anyway, I have been sitting here this morning documenting everything, calling and emailing and compiling information. This is no where near the battle we had then.

But, emotionally, I am suffering. Please pray for me.

Re: Hi All

sure ILG , I'm sure I don't have to tell you to rejoice over this and to pray for your enemies....

rejoice because Jesus has already given you the victory over this..

every trial , every situation , condition in life we face is already solved by Jesus..but we must find that place of rest in Him...
let the peace of God rule in your heart to which also you are called into one body....
It seems we never learn to bless them who curse us..some how they find a way to get under your skin to blind you of the greater picture..That's what Satan does, that's his job.
