Let us focus our prayers today on our National Debts. We have just passed the ONE TRILLION dollars of deficit spending. We must now borrow money to pay the interest expense on our National Debts. The monies we as a nation have spent exceeds our entire GNP or Gross National Products. We are in serious trouble and it seems many of our leaders in Washington DC are totally unaware or completely unconcerned. The President has asked Congress to pass another $50 Billion dollars to help “stimulate” the economy.

The nation of China has now become our “Bank”. We as a nation owe so much money to the Chinese government that we can never repay without totally wrecking our own economy and the future for our grandchildren. We must reverse this curse. We must stop spending monies that we do not have to spend. We must shut down the printing presses in the National Treasury. We must take a serious look at all areas of government spending and stop this crazy, out of control insanity of “tax and spend” liberal thinking.

Heavenly Father, we have sinned against You and like the prodigal son we have squandered our inheritance on selfish spending. We have consumed our resources. We as a nation have placed a heavy burden of debts upon our future generations. Father God, we REPENT of depending upon our government to meet our needs and ignoring Your Great Grace and Your Tender Mercies.

Forgive us Lord, we pray! Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors. Let every member of Congress WAKE UP and realize that our country is bankrupt and has no monies to pay “bonuses” to federal employees. Lord Jesus, we pray that You would show our elected representatives every way possible to “cut wasteful spending” and REPAY all of the unused allocations to pay down our National Debts. Most importantly Lord, we pray that each and every one of us that know You as our Savior, would personally be delivered from the bondage and the slavery of our own personal debts. Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is  Romans 13:1-2 & 6-8

Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves.

For because of this you also pay taxes, for they are God's ministers attending continually to this very thing. Render therefore to all their due: taxes to whom taxes are due, customs to whom customs, fear to whom fear, honor to whom honor.

Owe no one anything except to love one another, for he who loves another has fulfilled the law.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Jesus says to those of us who believe in Him – IF you abide in My Word, you are My Disciples indeed. We will know the Truth, and that Truth shall make us FREE from bondage and slavery. Jesus emphasizes this point by saying – Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave to sin! A slave does not abide in the house forever, but a son abides forever!   John 8:31-36     

Amen and Amen!
