i believe things happen to test your faith. Now if you have prayed about it all you have to do is wait on the Lord. The barriers are just stumbling blocks, and it may just be to see how you handle them. Believe that your prayers will be answered. A lot of people are in a bind right now and in the same situations, and with mortgage companies like ameriquest stiffing ppl in the news, it doesn't make it better. I pray that you are able to keep your home.

The devil will always try to put barriers in your way. God never does. But you must remember that God has His own timing and will answer your pray accordingly. God would never put a barrier to prevent something from happening. Remember the devil will always try to keep you from the Lord. Even when you are a believer and have Christ in your life, the devil will try to make you fall.
I hope everything works out all right.

First, God is not bad and will never do anything to harm you.... But time after time you may pray and pray and pray and to no avail... Haven't you ever heard of someone praying for someone deathly sick and they finally die and the person praying says why God, why? It was time.... The Devil did not take the loved one but God did. But at time people pray for things that are just out of reach...i.e. The lottery, a horse race things like that... Now we have your house and unless someone intervenes (God or whom ever) you will lose it... Its not the Devil mad because you are praying to God.... If it is supposed to remain with you it will but you see there is an A and a Z in your life time and all the in between things happen. Its the way it is. Please don't blame God or the Devil for this bad luck... I do want you to know that praying never ever hurt anyone and who knows things might turn around...... Good luck and God bless....

The Devil may try tempting you to do what is necessary to get the $$$ to keep this home you don't want to lose: he's banking you'll sell, in effect, your soul (but your body will do) or delve deep into the criminal underworld.
God on the other hand, wants to see how well you hold up in times of adversity. Life is akin to a military training obstacle course...where He makes notes on your will, strength and progress.
If you placed trust in The Lord, then I'd say keep it there---but don't be blind to legitimate opportunity that does NOT violate one's Christian ethics or morals.

Are you a born again christian? If yes you might be going through some trials. It is possible that God is testing your faith. God wants us to trust in him completely, because he knows what is best for his children.
Romans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him,who have been called according to his purpose.
Keep praying and ask God for an answer.
God Bless

Those barriers you have to jump over, used to be walls that God knocked down to help you over these hurdles. Maybe he didn't remove them entirely, but if he left them the way they were it would have been insurmountable. Now, U at least have a chance at success. God won't just give it to U because U asked for it, but he will help ease your burden, lighten your load, & knock down walls that otherwise would have been impassible, so U have a chance at making it work one way or the other. God Bless You and I hope your pathways become clearer & clearer as time goes on!!!

Read the book of Job in the Bible. The evil one can not do anything without God's permission. God loved Job very much, yet He allowed the evil one to torment him. Read how Job never lost faith, and prevailed in the end. Sometimes we are punished here on earth like children being chastised from their parents. An attack of this magnitude on a Christian sounds like the evil one is trying to bring you to his level. I pray you come thru this unscarred and stronger in your faith.

This is what God doesnt do :
“When under trial, let no one say: ‘I am being tried by God.’ For with evil things God cannot be tried nor does he himself try anyone.” (Jas. 1:13)
This is what satan does:
Keep YOUR senses, be watchful. YOUR adversary, the Devil, walks about like a roaring lion, seeking to devour someone (1pet. 5:8)
Any questions......

keep taking it to the Lord. Know that He wants you to be happy and prosperous and free of anxiety.
Pray that He put someone in your life that will give you wise counsel on this serious matter
Stick with God

ok, listen to me slowly, god doesnt exist, sry but he doesnt. now the best thing for u to do would be to go get a lawyer and try to get ur home back in a fashion that mite actually work because i hate to break it to u but god cant fix many problems, all he does is start wars so maybe before u think about the devil and god u should think that god has killed more people than all the plagues combined and if u dont know what hte plagues are, u shoudl go try to graduate highschool
