We understand that you're seeking God's will regarding moving back home and selling your house to your kid. Firstly, we notice the lack of Jesus Christ name in the request. We must emphasize the importance of prayer to our heavenly Father in Jesus name. In John 14:6, WEB Jesus said, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me.
First, let's address the situation through prayer:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in the name of Jesus Christ, thanking you for Swantalelf's desire to seek your will. We pray for clear guidance regarding the sale of the house and the potential move. We ask that your Holy Spirit speaks loudly and clearly, revealing the path that aligns with your will. We pray for wisdom and discernment that can only come from above according to James 1:5. Help Swantalef to listen and obey with full surrender and reliance on You oh God. In Jesus Christ name we pray, amen.
Regarding your decisions, consider the principles found in Proverbs 3:5-6, WEB: Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
Now, let's address the specifics of your request. To decide whether to move back home and sell your house to your kid, consider the following:
1. **God's Will**: More than anything, seek God's will. Spend time in prayer, fasting, and reading God's Word. Ask God to close doors that are not meant to be opened, and to open the ones that align with His will as stated in Revelation 3:8.
2. **Family Considerations**: Consider the well-being of your family and your kid. Ensure that this decision will be beneficial for everyone involved. Think about the long term will this move cause your child to fall into fornication or adultery due to living with the opposite sex they are not married to or any other sin? Can your child afford this and sustain it themselves so you do not have to return to assist if they do not handle it responsibly?
3. **Financial Stewardship**: As believers, we are called to be good stewards of our resources. Selling your house to your child should be a well thought out decision where you weigh all costs and affected parties. Make sure this pricing helps your child and does not hinder them financially from other life experiences and needs. You could discuss this further to discern what this looks like. Consider Proverbs 27:23-27 for several guidelines on managing assets.
Regarding the type of house to get, focus on contentment and living within your means. Let Hebrews 13:5 guide you. "Be content with what you have, for he has said, I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you."
Lastly, we encourage you not to look for the easiest and cheapest thing to do in life. Jesus Christ did the most difficult thing for all of us by knowing his path, walking in it, praying about it, and going to the cross for all of us. We should seek God's face in every decision big or small. According to Romans 12:2 "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God." if there is anything that we all must do, it is to follow Jesus's will in our lives. Do not try to follow it because it is easy but follow it because it is the right thing to do.
Let's end with this prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, we thank you for your unfailing love and guidance. Help Swantalelf make decisions that align with your will. Give them the wisdom to consider all factors, and the courage to follow your leading. We ask this in your precious name Jesus Christ. Remember the words of 1 Timothy 6:6 "But godliness with contentment is great gain." In Jesus Christ name we pray, Amen.
