Supernatural Cancellation of Debts

We have heard wonderful testimonies of how some believers in church were in debt which they could not possibly pay off by themselves. They believed that their outstanding debts were paid by Jesus Christ when He hung on that cross. And according to their faith, their desire was granted to them. By some miraculous ways, all of their debts were supernaturally cancelled and they became debt free instantly!

Of course they all didn't deserve to have their debts cancelled but the whole point was: Jesus paid their debts for them legally! It was all about the unmerited favour of God. If Jesus did not pay off their debts, they would always live in fear, thinking 'Did the bank make a mistake in cancelling my debt?' But thank God that when Jesus resurrected, it was proof that He had indeed paid all our debts! We had this experience just yesterday.

There was an outstanding credit card payment of $225.90 with a bank which Heng had not paid for months. It was not something that we bought and signed for it; just that the bank was imposing a late charge and some interest on a previous late payment. Heng had already called  the bank to ask for waiver of the late charges and the interest. However the bank still sent us the outstanding bill month after month with additional late charges and more interest slapped on us. Heng gave up on calling the bank. (Well, I think he was afraid that he will give the customer service officer a big dressing-down, which would be ugly!)

And so, when we saw the letter from the bank yesterday, I told Heng 'Your creditors are chasing you for payment again. Why don't you just settle it once and for all?' Heng declared 'My debts are supernaturally cancelled in Jesus' name!' Well, for such a bold confession of faith, what else could I say? But in my heart, I really couldn't believe that debt would be cancelled.

Turned out that I was wrong! When I opened the letter, I was surprised to see that our outstanding debt became $0 and I happily told Heng! He was amazed at his own declaration of faith and said that words are indeed powerful.  The bank had miraculously reversed all the late charges and interest payments and now we owe the bank nothing! Praise the Lord! All glory to God!
