Debt Cancellation

I am so excited! You know, we've been doing International School of
Ministry (ISOM) at church on Wednesday nights. One of the brothers in
my group is really being vocal about debt cancellation. I have heard
him but have tended to push it to the back of my mind because of my
discouragement.

You see? Before being laid off, moving to Arizona,... before life
happened, I was a great payer of my bills. I believed in it. But after
life happened, I got discouraged. It seemed that the more I paid, the
more the bill escalated. I got so discouraged until I finally said,
"What is the use?" So I just stopped paying them. I ignored the calls
of the bill collectors, and sat back and waited for the "debt
cancellation by faith" but so come my way.

But last night, something happened. As there was only me and him in
our group, and we were praying, I began to tell him how I felt about
my bills. How discouraged I was. And the more I let out my
discouragement, the more the Lord replaced it with a resolve to see
those bills extinguished. I truly repented for not paying my bills. I
repented for not speaking the Word over my debts. I repented for not
walking in faith.

As I got to work today, I said that I would at least see what one of
my bills cost and ask God for creative and witty inventions on how to
get rid of that debt. As I called, I prayed for favor. All I know is
to tell the truth, so that's what I did.

Well, the Lord gave it to me. They hooked me up with a payment plan.
I'll be done paying that bill of entirely in a year. So by next year
this time, that bill will be gone!!!

Praise the Lord! I've got two more to go.
