My 83 year-old mother has proven over many years to be a reliable barometer of what is happening in the real estate market. She has a history of selling homes at the right time, just before the real estate market drops. She has followed God’s leading on when to sell and when to buy and has been rewarded financially.
She is a widow and truly believes her Heavenly Father takes care of her and is interested in her daily affairs. She is in excellent health and of sound mind and has been walking with the Lord since her early 20’s.
Years ago, she was sensing it was time to sell her home again, but she wanted to be sure she was hearing from the Lord. She discussed this with me and told me her plan was if God wanted her to sell her home, He would bring a buyer to her door without her putting it on the market or even putting up any ‘For Sale’ signs.
I wish you could have seen the look on my face when she told me this plan. I thought it was a cuckoo idea! But, out of respect for her I lamely said, “Well, I will agree with you in prayer that God will bring a buyer to your door.” Truly, my faith level was at near zero for something like that.
Shortly after we spoke, a young professional woman knocked on her door and said, “I’ve driven by your home many times and have admired it as I pass by. Have you ever thought of selling it? Because I’d be interested.”
Long story short, my mother sold that home at a time when the real estate market was doing remarkably well and made a remarkable profit. Soon afterwards, the market plummeted, so she was able to purchase a different home for a lesser current market value. She stayed there for several years and then sold that home in 2008, just before the collapse of the housing market. Once again she made a great profit and then moved into the home she is currently living in.
For the past several months, she has been considering moving and leaving the state of California. Last month, May 2017, during her morning devotions, she received a definitive word from the Lord and she knew without a doubt in her spirit it was time to sell again. She also knew it was time to leave the state of California for good after living there for fifty years.
She called me last week to further discuss her decision. She expects to have her home listed within the next few days. She told me that every time she has sold her homes, she first studied the equities markets, both the Dow and S&P. She has used the markets as an indicator of times to buy and sell, along with the voice of the Lord. I had no idea she paid attention to the markets at all!
During the past several weeks, she has experienced the pressure of wrapping things up, selling her things, boxing things up, talking about moving and how it should be done. When I asked her again, “Do you feel certain that it is time for you to move and leave the state?” She answered very strongly with no hesitation, “I am certain it is time for me to sell my house and move. When the Lord spoke to me in May, since that time I have had peace in knowing this is what I am supposed to do. I have no doubt.”
She went on to say, “Over the years real estate has been good to me and I know that during this time I will profit again.”
We then discussed the state of the stock market and the looming crash to come. She said she wanted to get her house on the market as soon as possible because she knows that time is coming. So, after much prayer and consideration, she made the monumental decision to list her home for sale by next week. After her home sells, she will be leaving the state of California for good.
We all have to listen to the voice of the Lord for ourselves and for our own circumstances, but I have learned to pay attention when my mother says it’s time to sell. I also find it interesting because she believes it is time to leave California.

Interesting Michelle: My mom is 84 and lives in Redding, CA and put her house up for sale last year. It didn’t sell, but she’ll reduce the price and put it back up early next year. She really wants to liquidate the house, since its too big and high maintenance, and she also believes we’re headed into a major down cycle. I’ve also been thinking about getting out of Calif. too, since its over-taxed, and they’ll always find ways to extract money from the working class. Calif. taxes 11.9% on capital gains, when Washington and Nevada taxes 0% in income. They just passed a new gas tax, and there’s talk they want to tax gasoline cars out of the market so everyone has to by electric, and electric rates will likely keep going up too. Unfortunately, I don’t see a light at the end of the tunnel for Calif., and its only going to get worse for fixed income folks. Best….
I had a dream this past week; quite vivid but I’m not sure if the interpretation is sound. We used to live in the greater Seattle area and owned a house in a neighborhood there. In my dream I saw a few missiles launched from somewhere nearby (that is I saw them lift off and head upwards), then I saw one come back down and wipe out the two home directly begind our home. A neighbor and I were examine the damage – nothing much left. I took it to possibly mean that the housing market was going to “bomb” again, 2x as bad as 2008. Thoughts?….
Borders going to close, no one in or out. Joanie Stahl and Kim Weir have seen this. It may not be for awhile, but wow I would not want to be trapped inside the country. Just a coordinated terrorist attacks away from such a situation and/or a major series of natural disasters. “This is California…we are going into the ocean”
Michele,Thankyou for sharing this..Your mother sounds like a wonderful woman,one who seeks to follow Yahs leading.I saw where you said she was thinking of Georgia to move.I hear thats a good place.Refuge being set up there…Near Alabama /Georgia line…The land is beautiful there also…..blessings today.
Hello Diana,
Thank you for your comment. I did not know there was a refuge being set up near the Georgia Alabama line. That is interesting. Blessings to you.
Hey Diana do you happen to know if the refuge in the Alabama/Georgia line is close to Columbus, Ga?
MVP,
It is still in the makings..near the Summerville area I believe….I would imagine that there must be a few going on…? Blessings today
California is going to face terrifying judgment in the days ahead, this is yet another conformation that our Father is warning His people. At this link I have collected 49 prophecies for California. http://whygodreallyexists.com/archives/category/specific-prophetic-locations/prophecy-for-california
If you live in California, PLEASE consider moving out of the state. We cannot determine when these judgments will take place, but I suspect we should be seeing them soon.

Hi Meranda,
Thank you for posting the above link to prophecies for California. These words are very sobering! Some years ago, I dreamed I was standing in a very tall high rise overlooking the sea. I sensed I was in Mexico, likely not far from Southern California. As I gazed out the giant plate glass window, I saw afar off a giant tsunami approaching. It was a terrifying sight. I looked down at the many people on the beach. I was so high up, the people below looked tiny. The tsunami reached shore and swallowed everything in sight and the sea water slapped the great plate glass in front of me in a shocking slap. The glass did not break, but my mouth was filled with sea water. End of dream.
Thank you for sharing your dream Michele. I have read a number of dreams with people viewing an event in a glass building. Whether it was martial law, or a coming tsunami, a glass window, or a glass building has been mentioned quite a few times. I am not sure the significance of that. Out of curiosity, do you live in California?
Hi Meranda,
It seems like the looking out a window may signify a looking into the future. I used to live in San Francisco and then SanDiego. I now live in The South.
That is a very good thought with the window! Likely that is what it means.
The reason I ask where you live is often times these dreams are a warning to those who get them. A personal warning.
San Francisco is mentioned in many tsunami prophecies.
If you live in the South… not sure if you mean southern California, or Texas-south… I would leave California. I remember reading in a prophecy that God is allowing these different floods, disasters to happen to force people out before its too late. Its no wonder why we are seeing so many people from California come to Idaho… I truly believe God is forcing people out of that area to save their lives in the days ahead.
Lots of love! Meranda

Hello Meranda,
Thank you for your reply and links! I love reading from the http://www.whygodreallyexists.com.
Idaho sounds like a lovely place. My sister in law’s family has left San Diego for Idaho. They love it there. I sent them the information about Michael Snyder running for office. We need Holy Spirit inspired people in government.
Yes, I left California years ago. Another series of moves and we now live in rural North Georgia. Through confirmations and prayer and dreams from the Lord, we ended up here. My husband who was somewhat reluctant, had a dream where the Lord appeared to him as a lion. It was made plain in the dream that he was to move and that the lion would go with us. He described the lion as both fierce and loving. Our whole family has End Time dreams. Including: tsunami, tornado, foreign invasion on U.S. soil, wars, evading capture, miracles, dead raised, empowerment by the Holy Spirit, glorious travel
and glorious music. We consider it a privilege to be alive at this time. All of Heaven has waited for this time. May we go forth in great power and do EVERYTHING that He has called us to do. We are to be overcomers by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony.
Much Love to you, Meranda and all the precious saints of God.
Michele, Thank you for sharing that info with your sister in laws family. If we believers don’t try to take those seats in gvt, then the radical left will.
It sounds like you are in the exact location that God wants you to be in. What a powerful confirmation. Thank you for sharing that with us. God is great, in every way! If you are on facebook, be sure to add me as a friend. Send me a message so I can add you. https://www.facebook.com/meranda.devan
Lots of love! Huge blessings to you and your family Michele.
Hello Again, Meranda,
I sent you a PM on Facebook and a friend request. I invite you to ‘like’ my music page:

My husband and I have done music all over North America. ?
Hey Meranda! Just to let you know, my mother’s home is under contract, in less than a week of being listed. Hooray!!
Oh my goodness!!! Amen! Praise be to God!!
This really hits close to home! The LORD has called my family to move back to Illinois where my parents live. We obeyed God’s direction and immediately put our house up for sale. It sold within two weeks and we moved in with my parents. Later, the buyer backed out! We were devastated but, what could we do but re-list it. We did and this time it took 2 months to get a new buyer only for them to back out too. We’re certainly feeling our faith being tested. We know God wants us here and we’re praying that our home will sell before the financial collapse hits!
Praying now, Cory Ann!
Lord, we ask that you send a qualified buyer for this home, as soon as possible and that all hinderances be removed. Thank you that we have assurance that the steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord and that You, oh God are working on Cory Ann’s behalf.
Does anyone here have a word on if the Iraqi dinar is a good investment or if it is a scam?
Fat B, a well known prophet who passed away last year (Kim Clement) had prophesied about the Iraqi dinar that it would get reevaluated.
I would look at Zion Oil. They just started drilling 2 week ago and starting to look good. Stock price moved upwards over the last few days
Chris, Yes invested in Zion Oil & Gas Inc. (ZN) 2 years ago. It was a ‘prophetic stock’ listed on Investing With Insight (IWI) and we (my husband & I) wanted to invest in something related to Israel, that would bless Israel. They started drilling a few weeks ago (finally) and trading has been 30x the normal volume and stock price has increased steadily since then. Really thought a couple a months ago we would have to sell our shares at a loss. Also there is a prophecy on IWI that relates to the Dinar taking off when Zion Oil does.
Fat B…Cannot be a scam.Its a legitimate monies.All monies are going to go through a revalue soon..Many are saying soon.I have heard .Do it quickly if you are going too.Just my opinion.
Amen, this is another confirmation of judgment coming to California. I continue to pray that more people hear those messages meant for them, and quickly make a move
Hi Stephanie,
Some people will stay and some will go. I pray God give supernatural protection, Psalm 91 protection, wherever they may be.
Yes! We each have different roles and not everyone will be called to move. Some people may have an important role where they currently live. I’ve noticed some people (not so much Z3ers) are unsure of what to do because they are looking at what others are doing as a guide instead of listening to what the Lord is calling them to do.
I am not sure what this means if anything but…this morning (a bit ago) I told my husband..it is so hot (we live in Illinois) and I wish we could move to somewhere cooler like San Francisco or San Diego. Mind you I would never move there. However, I read this article almost right after I was telling him and in the comments I saw San Francisco and San Diego. I know it is the Lord telling me something but I am just not sure what yet. There is no way I would speak those 2 cities and then read this and see those 2 exact city names.
Hi Jen,
As I said in another comment, I’ve lived in both San Francisco and San Diego. I now live in The South. After a series of dreams and events, we left the city and now live in the country. It’s been a journey!
I, also, would be interested in where she is going. We have a lot of people coming to Jordan (http://themessianicmessage.com/ –right side of page: The Time to Flee; The Place to Be). I used to live in the Bay Area and agree it’s time to leave! Praise Yah for this testimony! Thank you for sharing. Aline
Hello Aline,
My mother is praying about moving to Georgia.
I used to live in San Francisco, then San Diego. Yes, praise be to God for speaking to His people.
Aline….
I have come across your site before. In fact another believer told me about a pocket of messianic believers now living in Jordan. Are you one of them? With Israel being so hard to move into, we should expect Jordan to be second best option if you want to be close to Israel.
Meranda
Yes, Meranda, you are correct. But it’s not my site–Kimberly Rogers-Brown is the site owner. Also, you might bear in mind that we are in “Greater Israel” according to the original land grant, which will be re-instated at some point. Mt Hor where Aaron died is here, and Bozrah–the sheepfold, Petra, etc with Mt Sinai in Saudi Arabia. Bless you, Aline
Aline, Do you live in Jordan?
Yes, Michele. You are welcome to get my email from James. Thank you.
Hello Aline, How are you doing, now? I will ask James for your email.
