Dear RFTH family,

I had to move out of the place I was staying end of February. I moved in to a place and it was a big mistake to move in there. I was worried about loosing my job and I did not rent my own apartment but moved in with a supposedly Christian woman who is a friend of a colleague.

She has caused me horrible stress when I was living with her that I told her I am moving out by the end of this month. I am looking for work and I have applied for jobs in a different city. I have a job interview today and if I get the job in the other city, I would have to rent an apartment closer in that area.

I was going to ask my landlady if I could stay for another 2 weeks (and pay her) but she said she made plans for the room and wants me out this Saturday. I told her I have until Monday which is the end of the month. she said I moved in Feb 29 so April 29 is the end of the month. things escalated, I ended up shouting at her: "you are supposed to be a Christian, God convict you" she rushed to her room saying that she will be calling 911 because I am threatening her. she picked up the phone and dialed. I told her to leave 911 for emergencies, I have not threatened her. she did finally drop the phone but I heard someone on the other line. it was scary.

a friend of mine is going to come and pick up my stuff and see if he can store them somewhere for me. I am trying to get ahold of a friend who I am sure will let me stay with her for a while.

please dear friends, the last year has been so hard on me and it is getting harder. I need a safe permanent place of my own. I don't want any more mistakes and horrible stuff happening and having to move out. I need a safe, permanent place of my own with a decent landlord. I need a decent job. please pray for me.

Could you also please pray that since this woman is unreasonable that she does not cause problems after I move out (claiming I damaged some property or whatever)

thank you

Heidi, I am praying for You! Be comforted in our Lord, turn your face into Him. He is/will be faithful to help you. And please come back Lord. This place needs you to be King and Lord down here.

Thank you so much Regina.
Please come back Lord. Too many of your chidlren can't take it anymore.

Heidi,

First of all she can't make you move, it's against rental policy in the city...check it out on the web site. I'll see if I can find out some information on this You might have to give her a couple of dollars for the extra days...but she can't kick you out.
The law is on your side, or it use to be as far as I know. I'll see what the city of Toronto site has to offer.

Secondly, Heidi, I'm praying for you, that you get the job, and that you're able to move to a better place.

It's time like these we have to trust God to see us through.

God be with you, through it all!

Lean on the Lord for understanding!

Prayerfully,

Valerie

Valerie, thank you so much for your prayers. Thank you for looking things up for me.
God bless you and bless everyone at RFTH. we have the Lord and each other. Thank you for this lovely forum.

Heidi, this information may help...!

Heidi,

I know what you are going through. We are facing eviction right now as I post this. We have to keep saying the word out loud: Be anxious for NOTHING, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God...He shall supply ALL of my needs according to His riches and glory by Christ Jesus...Do not let your heart be troubled, you trust in God trust also in Me (Jesus). I'm praying for you sister; you are not alone.

P.S. Thanks for the info Valerie!

Praying for you, may God give you peace and rest in your soul. Electronic hug to you!!!! We are all behind you!

Praying for you too Kristi

Praying for you as well Kristi!

You're welcome, I hope it will help you as well!

Blessings!

Valerie

I have a praise report! I e-mailed the landlord today and let her know that I have exhausted all options. I told her that I could pay the remainder of the rent on the 3rd, I told her that I would be late for May's rent as I am starting a work from home job, but then I would be caught up after May. She e-mailed me back and said to make sure that I pay April's late fee on the 3rd. Thank you Father!!!!!! Hang in there Heidi, your help is on it's way!

Heidi, were you on a lease, or month to month? Did you sign any papers or anything? Im not sure if the laws are different where you live (im assuming slightly), but if you had already given your 'notice' then the landlord CAN make other arrangements for others to take over for when you had said you are moving.(obviously because they have to keep their income coming in)

I don't know what else to say. I am a landlord and if someone is on a month-to-month basis and have given their one month notice as stated in our contract, I am able to show/make arrangements for the next person to take over. If I don't make those arrangements, and the former tenant leaves as they said they would - then I lose income - and that's how I eat.

I would say read your contract if you have one.

I do pray that she is reasonable based on your circumstance if she can be a bit lenient. You might have a case as to the DATE cause monday is the end of the month. Most landlords go by the entire month because it's way easier to figure out.

Dear Heidi & Kristi, praying for you both that our Father will make a way where there seems to be no way for you to have a safe, comfortable place to live and a job to provide the income you need for living. Most of all remember the verse, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind". Bind the "spirit of fear", a demon that comes to harass you, and tell it to leave. Declare that you are covered in the blood of Jesus and tell the devils they are to go in the name of Jesus. The Bible says "resist the devil and he will flee from you". It also says "draw near to God and He will draw near to you."

Father, I just pray that Heidi and Kristi will come up under your wings of protection and snuggle in close to your loving heart for them. Provide for their needs according to Your riches in Glory by Christ Jesus. Most of all Father, we are asking for you to tell Jesus to come and get us all and bring us home to You.

Standing in agreement according to Matt. 18:19 with all of you concerning Kristi and Heidi.

You have my prayers Heidi, hopefully your next landlord will be our Lord Jesus Christ!

Kristi, I'm Praising God with you for your good news Sis! I'm glad you'll be able to stay!!!! Thanks be to God for answered prayers!

Heidi, I know God will make a way for you too; we'll continue to keep you in our prayers!

Please watch and listen this video below; it will encourage you in the Lord....I know that you can make it too!!!

Clay, Amen to what you said. I hope and pray with all my heart that my next landlord will be Jesus. Please come Lord.

Valerie, thank you so muh for the lovely and comforting song. I really like it.

Amen Valerie!!!!

Dear Heidi

We are praying for you. Remember Jesus. He did not open his mouth when he was mocked, bashed, flogged or spat upon. You are getting some tribulation. It is getting intense all over. People are loosing the plot. Stay in Forgiveness. Do not let satan consume you. Stay in forgivenes. Forgive, Forgive, Forgive. Listen to Jesus. Go where he says. Be obedient. It is for your benefit.

Shalom John

P.S. Are you sure you do not have to get out of town?

John, thank you so much for your prayers and advice.

what do you mean by "are you sure you don't have to get out of town" do you mean that maybe God does not want me to be in the place where I am now? I have been wanting so badly to leave this city for the longest time. I am trying to find a job first before relocating. a friend of mine who is overseas is coming back in September and I have asked him to please help me find another city to live in when he comes back. It is so hard to do it on my own. he lives in a small city himself and maybe I can relocate to that city or another one. I just need to have some support.

Dear RFTH family,

I am sorry I forgot to put an update to my situation:

I managed to move out of the place on Saturday. I am living with a friend now and will be staying with her until I decide what to do next. (I am thinking about finding work in a smaller city and relocating)

I am at a place now where I am safe and welcome. I also had a message on my voice mail from an organization where I had an interview recently for a part-time job. They asked me to call them back this Monday so maybe they are offering me the position.

Thank you so much for your prayers. God bless you all.
