Hard to believe that this year is almost half over. World War II was 65 years ago. War in Korea was more than 50 years ago. War in Vietnam was more than 40 years ago. War in Iraq is almost 20 years old now. Millions of Americans have fought and died for our “Freedoms” against enemies both foreign and domestic.

Now we are facing the bondage and slavery of a different kind of enemy. This sinister demon robs people of their hope. This obscene and vile enemy affects every family, every city, every state, and our nation’s standing the world. Ladies and Gentlemen, we are drowning is a sea of national DEBTS. Cities cannot afford to pay workers for simple services. States cannot afford to protect their borders. States cannot continue to pay for medical services for all of their non-residents. Banks are NOT making loans to small businesses, because these companies have no sales and no source of income to pay back the loans. GM did not repay their loans by the government with sales of new cars. GM repaid their loans with other “bail-out” monies that were not used by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac on housing.  

Heavenly Father, Your Word is very clear that whoever commits a sin, is a slave to that sin. Every nation that borrows is indebted to their lender and is subject to that lender. (Deuteronomy 28:12)

When America had wealth, we sent forth missionaries, and evangelists, apostles and prophets to advance the Kingdom of God here on the earth, as You command us to do. Whenever disasters happened Americans volunteered with food, clothing, and shelter freely given to people who could never repay us.

Lord Jesus, the leaders of this great country have set us on a course that will ultimately lead to financial disaster. Open their eyes, remove the scales that have blinded our leaders. Show us how to get out of debt and stay out of debt in our families and our local churches. Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is   Matthew 22:15-22

Then the Pharisees went and plotted how they might entangle Him in His talk. And they sent to Him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that You are true, and teach the way of God in truth; nor do You care about anyone, for You do not regard the person of men. Tell us, therefore, what do You think? Is it lawful to pay taxes to Caesar, or not?" But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, "Why do you test Me, you hypocrites?

Show Me the tax money." So they brought Him a denarius. And He said to them, "Whose image and inscription is this?" They said to Him, "Caesar's." And He said to them, "Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's."

When they had heard these words, they marveled, and left Him and went their way.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have got to get ourselves, our families, and our churches OUT OF DEBT! Paul told the Romans to “Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.” Romans 13:1-14

There is soon coming a time that this nations’ financial debts will overwhelm our way of life. Only the Supernatural Divine Intervention of Almighty God will keep us from falling. We must TRUST in Lord our God and not ANY government agency to sustain us with His Grace, His Mercies, and His Truth!

 Amen and Amen!
