Hiya, Some of you may or may not remember this, but as a huge fan of Charles Capps' ministry where he has a mini book and then gives a short quick prayer/declaration about topics (Finances and health) in his book called God's Creative Power.  I did my own regarding favor some time ago.  This is not about begging with God or pleading with Him.  But it's about you knowing your rights as a believer.  It's about you declaring the Word of God in your situation! I keep a copy of this in my Bible.   Recently I was reading a devotional by Joyce Meyer and she was talking about speaking to your mountains.  Declaring to those things that seem to be in your way the word of God and knowing that they have to move out of your way. I felt today that I needed to get this out and brush it off.  I'll post it below.  I've believing God for favor and supernatural doors to open personally.  I'm sure you are too.  Remember that once you are ...

I’ve been in the publishing industry a lot of years. Truthfully if I wasn’t sure what I was doing was what God wanted me to be doing I would have been out the door a long time ago.

So this year we went to the dr’s appointment and was again assured I wouldn’t have to pay for the copay, and yesterday I got a bill. I was annoyed and upset. I’ll admit I was starting to get a tad snarky. It wasn’t just about the money, but it was also just the aggravation that is the healthcare rat race. At first I was just going to go ahead and pay for the bills, but hesitantly I opted to call the doctor’s office and voice my irritation. After I explained to them the issue, they emphatically told me that my insurance company doesn’t charge us copays for that service and I shouldn’t be charged, but instead of it being taken care of I had to call the insurance company. Calling any insurance company a...
