Once when I lived in a rented house, though the owners were kind to me, the person who was looking after the house when the owners had gone abroad was always seeking an opportunity to make us leave the place because of vested interests.
I happened to know this
because the Lord would show me a dream regarding this each time the fellow planned
evil against us. Every time I would pray to the Lord not to allow his tricks to
work.
When the Lord started
showing me several dreams regarding his plans, I developed a dislike for the
man and I changed my prayers. I started praying that the Lord should instead
send that fellow away from that place. Some sort of hatred developed inside of
me because outwardly he pretended to be kind but was scheming secretly.
Finally when the Lord had
been repeatedly showed me these dreams, I asked the Lord, “I have been praying
all along about this, why you don’t do something?”
The Holy Spirit spoke to me
at that moment and said, “Love your enemies, do good to those who persecute you”.
I understood that my
attitude as a Christian towards this man was wrong. So I confessed my sin to
God and decided to do something good for this man for all the wrong that he was
doing. I had a brand new shaving set with me and I decided to present him that.
That same day when I met him, I presented that set to him. He looked surprised
and thanked me. Because of the act, I found great peace in my heart. I was
happy that I had obeyed the voice of the Holy Spirit.
The Lord was pleased too and
I know it for sure because in 2 days, he sent the fellow away from that place,
no more to trouble us.
The LORD is in his holy temple. The LORD is on his throne in heaven. His eyes observe. His eyes examine the children of men. (Psalm 11:4)
