Here is a shout-out to those who understand how spirituality works with money!
Oh, I know. People are weird about this, but if everything here on Earth is created by Divinity then so, dear one, is money. In fact, in the U.S., the backside of our bills reads: In God We Trust.
So get this!
It’s time to BLESS THE ECONOMY, and quit winging and moaning about how bad it all is. Now don’t misunderstand me. I’m not in denial. It’s bad, that’s a fact, but it is not made so much as a smidgeon better by continuing to moan about it.
I know people have lost jobs. I know the markets are down. I know that the U.S. government is struggling to put the elephant of a stimulus package into a tutu of a congress. I know.
I also know that either spiritual practice works with everything or nothing. It’s that simple.
One of the basic principles of spiritual prosperity practice is the action of blessing. Bless whatever you want to increase. Complaining about the economic downturn and its effects only keeps things right where they are. Blessing changes things.
Do you have a job currently? Bless that. And bless all those who need jobs with jobs. Even if they don’t have them yet.
Do you have investments that have tanked? Bless them. And bless all those whose investments are off.
Do you have a sensitivity to fear? Bless the fear. Let it go, and bless all those whose fears paralyze them in this situation.
I look at blessing as an investment in our world. What I bless increases. Bless the economy. Withdraw your projections of fear on our world fiscal system. Bless the economy. Stop resisting our resistant elected representatives. Bless the economy.
When we wish for others what we ourselves want, everyone is blest.

A lot of people are troubled about the aftermath of the downturn. And, the economy won't recover at the time a lot of people hope for. Usually, things seem to be good for the folks creating wealth and maybe they are the ones declaring the overall economy will recover. So often, it's a limited number who financially benefit when financial systems flounder. Internet lending is growing a huge amount. Just do a little research to see every one of the brand-new varieties of loans accessible via the internet. There are actually things like bail bonds, to get persons out of jail, at this point surely have a major underwriter prepared to accept those forms of loans, (See http://bailbondlenders.com). I can't understand why the modern world is going so insane. Watch the hawks who sadly are prodding anyone to just spend their savings trying to keep the economy growing.
