Peacechild4,
Two years ago I was forced out of my place of work due to a horrific false accusation against me that involved the police turning up at my doorstep and a lot worse besides.
After full investigation and all charges dropped, my boss still wanted to get rid of me because he felt I was in some way responsible for the accusation being made in the first place.
In the end, and to be honest I believe I missed God here, I resigned from my work place because I could not continue under the pressure that I was continually under.
I then went to work for a thief. I left that place being owed over two months wages, virtually living off nothing. At the beginning of this year I went to another place of work which I was really excited about. Within two weeks my line manager left and was replaced with someone who I consider to be one of the most deceitful manipulative people I have ever met.
She destroyed the working environment, cost me a number of my clients and made it the most unpleasant place to work. I wanted to leave but felt I had to stay, time after time I asked the Lord if I could leave and He said no. I applied for a couple of other jobs and even had offers, but I did not have the peace of God and that is my referee. To describe my employment situation of the last two years as a storm is in my opinion a mild understatement. If I described even 10% of how this lady treated me, you would probably not believe it.
Last month the Holy Spirit told me I could now leave. I applied for three jobs and had interviews with all three. One of the companies was brand new and I loved it - the atmosphere and everything. My previous line manager had worked there and helped when it started so they knew him and it was all wonderful. In meeting the people I knew the favour of God was there. If I had moved prematurely this company would not have even existed!
I am earning more basic salary, and over 3x as much commission in my new job. It is the most wonderful move forward, and my shifts mean I am working 12.5 hours a week less for more money! I am so happy!
This will help me drive the church forward as well and see Tree of Life Church become all God has for her.
Thanks for the Word. It was from God and has encouraged and comforted me.
Regards,
Benjamin
I start this Tuesday. On seeing your word "The storm is over", the Holy Spirit gave me a picture of a sailing ship on clear, calm waters sailing forward. That is the next season of my work, praise the Lord. The storm is over.
