2 Samuel 7:29

And now, may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you have spoken, and when you grant a blessing to your servant, O Sovereign, Lord, it is an eternal blessing!

But while the eternal blessing of Heaven is only mine through the grace of God once I make a vow of devotion to Jesus, many of the blessings in this life are conditional...just ask Solomon!  The juxtaposition of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes speaks volumes.  Conditional does not negate eternal.  Conditional blessings are "eternally" available to everyone in this earthly life who walks in obedience to "O Sovereign, Lord."  I'm not suggesting that every earthly blessing is conditional.  Grace still lavishes us in this life.  Both exist.

This past weekend we had amazing times of prayer inter-woven during the teaching time to walk people through declarative prayers that set people free from unGodly spiritual influences and entanglements so that they could resume their pursuit of every good and perfect gift from God in this life!  Here's a link (47 Words, part 5)...because you can experience the same break throughs right where you are...you can participate as you listen just as if you had been there!

Tomorrow I'll write about the steps we take to spiritually re-position ourselves:  revelation, repentance, renounce/break, and restoration (this is what you heard and hopefully experienced as you listened to the above link).
