Testimonies of answered prayers..we sold our home

Our Christian Testimony about Selling Our House Although the real estate market had taken a nose dive, we desperately needed to sell our house. The truth was, we could no longer afford the mortgage. We were a two income household with only one steady income coming in at that time. But we feared we had waited too late. You see, other homes in our neighborhood had been on the market for 6+ months with no takers. Prior to actually placing our home on the market, I decided to speak with a neighbor who had been trying to sell her house. I shared with her the news that we too were thinking of selling our home. Yikes! Why did I say that? She looked at me as if I had three heads and said, "Good luck!" But our neighbor wasn't the only skeptic. There were others who shared the same skepticism and concern. But despite the concerns of everyone we talked to, we decided to place our home on the market anyway and trust God. We didn't care that the homes in our subdivision weren't selling. We believed that we had the favor of God on our lives and that He was going to supply our need as He had promised in His Word. So, every night before going to bed, we came together and prayed. We asked God to send a ready, willing, and able buyer. We asked that the buyer be sent in a timely manner, and then we took it one step further. As if we had not already asked for enough, we asked God not to allow our home to be occupied by ungodly people. After the first night of prayer, we shifted from asking God to thanking God. From then on when we prayed, we would say, "Lord we thank you that our home is sold! We thank you for sending a qualified buyer! We thank you that the buyer is a Godly person! We thank you that this house will be a blessing to them as it has been to us!" We prayed that prayer every night. Guess what happened? Within only three months we had two offers on our home! The couple who actually ended up buying our home were Christians. The wife said she knew our home was hers from the moment she walked in the door. From that moment on she began claiming our house in prayer! She said our house was her dream home! By the way, when we moved out, the other homes in our neighborhood still had not sold. That includes the neighbor who looked at me as if I had three heads . Talk about a Christian testimony, this story is one of our favorites! We realized early in our marriage the importance of learning how to pray to God effectively and consistantly. Are you starting to get the picture?
