It has been taught in certain schools that if you accept Caesar’s money, then you will spend that money according to Caesar’s rules. The fact is that any “Caesar” only has what “We the People” have allowed to be taken from us in the form of taxes. We all are aware that there is a limit to the amount of monies that can be taxed. Government cannot collect taxes from the unemployed. Government does not collect taxes on entitlement programs. Government does not collect social security payments from members of congress and yet they receive pay increases, bonuses, and the best health care in the world.

Heavenly Father, We are a People who are motivated by FAITH – HOPE & CHARITY

Our hearts desires are to help people in need. Our trust is in Your Divine Provision for our lives that You Created. Our confidence is shown through our belief that all things are possible through Christ Jesus our Lord and Savior. We pray that we can all exhibit Christ-like qualities in our lives today as we render to God Almighty, the things that belong to God and His Children, who are our brothers and sisters in Christ.  Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is    Matthew 22:17-21   Mark 12:14-17    Luke 20:22-25

The teachers of the law and the chief priests looked for a way to arrest him immediately, because they knew he had spoken this parable against them. But they were afraid of the people. Keeping a close watch on him, they sent spies, who pretended to be honest. They hoped to catch Jesus in something he said so that they might hand him over to the power and authority of the governor. So the spies questioned him: "Teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. Is it right for us to pay taxes to Caesar or not?" Jesus saw through their duplicity and said to them,

"Show Me a denarius {coin}. Whose portrait and inscription are on it?" Caesar's," they replied. He said to them, "Then give to Caesar what is Caesar's, and to God what is God's."

They were unable to trap Him in what He had said there in public. And astonished by His answer, they became silent.

Ladies and Gentlemen, there is soon coming a time when we will have to answer this same question: Is it lawful for the churches of America to have a tax exempt status and not pay their fare share of taxes? The members of Congress will send “spies” into congregations and report the vast amounts of wealth and holdings of the churches and synagogues in our land and demand that the government seize those assets to “redistribute the wealth” to the people in need.

What we should DO right now is a time of prayer and fasting. We need all Americans to flood our churches and synagogues like we did on September 12-25, 2001 that birthed a wave of patriotism in this country. We need the Divine Intervention of Almighty God to STOP this spiritual wickedness in high places and cast down anything and anyone that exalts themselves above God’s authority. We cannot continue to spend monies that our government does not have and create unsustainable debts.

Lord Jesus, hear our prayers and HEAL OUR LAND!

Amen and Amen!
