Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do any thing till thou be come thither.

In April 2007, my husband and I put our house in Texas up for sale because he was retiring and we were going to move to Virginia.
From the time we put it on the market and probably even before, God had put in my heart that we needed to sell quickly because something was coming in the economy that was going to be very bad.
(JB ... In case of Lot, angels could not destroy the city until Lot was out of the city into safety. I thought of this when I read the above paragraph written by Barbara. I have always believed Barbara to be a prophet. Holy Spirit showing Barbara that which was to come ... John 16:13)
Continued comments by Barbara Preston:
Because of this warning, I had been urging my husband that we needed to sell as soon as possible.
One day about 2 months after we put it up for sale, our realtor in Texas called us saying there was a family seriously interested in making an offer. There was a little negotiating back and forth and these people did end up making an offer.
After we got off the phone with the realtor, my husband said he wanted to “think about it” before he accepted it.
I then went upstairs to read the Bible. As I was reading, I came to the following verse which stood out to me and I knew it had to do with selling the house …
Proverbs 15:27 He that is greedy of gain troubleth his own house;
(The Holy Spirit rising up to show exact truth in the matter at hand.)
I went back downstairs, took my Bible and read this verse to my husband and told him God was warning us that we would bring trouble on ourselves if we tried to hold out for more money instead of accepting this offer.

Thankfully, he agreed to sell.
The closing was around the middle of July 2007.
Housing prices started crashing in 2008 and for a number of years after 2008.
I can only imagine what it would have been like for us if we had not sold this house when God told us to.
God really did get us out just before the curtain fell.
