No matter what the spin, it’s clear that America is in a recession. The Bible calls it a curse. Why are we under this curse? It’s simple to those who are willing to study and obey God’s commands regarding debt:
“But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:
Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.
Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.
And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.
The LORD shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.
The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:
Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it. Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them. Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.
All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.
Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:”
(Deuteronomy 28:15-17; 23-24; 33; 38-40; 42; 45)
So, is debt the life blood of your family’s economy? Are you loving the world and following its ways? Are you now under a curse? Are you proud and insist that God will not curse you?
I pray that you will study God’s commandments regarding debt and repent of this sin immediately. I urge you to obey God’s commands that it may go well with you and your children.
“Credit” is an interesting use. When I heard the word “credit”, I understood it to mean something being added to you or something else. For example…if you make a deposit into your bank account, it’s “credited” or added to your account.
However, a “credit” card just takes away money from you each month in the form of interest. Interesting.
“Credit”, in our economy could also be known as heroin. Our economy has suffered a contraction because people aren’t able to “buy” any more items on easy credit”. So, now that people are forced to go through the withdrawals of their drug, we see pain.
