    "Declaring blessings"

    As with any other warped scriptural mindset that exists today (that's how I am calling it) there was a precedent particularly in the O.T. where remembrance of God's providence in the past and His many benefits were contemplated. This consisted as well of the land covenant promises as well as other principals where God said the land would produce in abundance and families would experience the overflow of such benefits from the result of Godly upbringing. Proverbs is particularly rich in regard to the latter; and Psalms discusses many times lessons to be learned from praising God and avoiding the error that caused almost the entire first generation to perish in the wilderness.

    Now it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the "declarations" usually end up with a common denominator of the dollar as a "name it claim it; blab it grab it" type of mentality. Now I'm not a betting man but I wouldn't at all be surprised with the electronic worldwide currencies coming to pass that the emphasis will go to what is truly "Babylon the Great"; a worldwide revitalized trade of all sorts of luxuries described in detail in Revelation 17 and 18 with its subsequent demise in an hour.

    Once there is a worldwide war (and I can only hope that is after the Rapture); then we likely will see precious metals; as the book of James indicates becoming a curse.

    It seems today with many of the large scale events that older or married people are sort of bypassed for those in their 20s. How is there supposed to be a practical aspect of all of this revival that is even relevant to the family dynamics; or any sort of structured worship? Is anyone even allowed to ask where the money is going with all these shell game tactics?

    I don't want to constantly get into these subjects like beating a dead horse. One thing that is certain; if we are living a lifestyle of sin of any sort without genuine conviction from the Spirit we've got a problem.
