I confess I am one of those who takes God's promises as a done deal. Though I'm pretty sure no one would call me a "name it and claim it" sort of Christian.

I do too. It's the people who tell me that it's not God's will for me to be sick and that I just have to rebuke Satan and claim the health that is my "right", who I take issue with, especially when they aren't healed from everything themselves and I know that.

God's promises are "yes" and "amen" but that is no guarantee that I'll never be sick or struggle with finances but rather that God will provide and not fail me when I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, that His grace will be sufficient.

However, I'm not into blackmailing God or trying to force His hand to meet my demands by misappropriating Scripture.

Indeed. Evidently we are in agreement, dear sister in Christ!
