T HE D EBT OF AN E MPIRE It is possible to find pages and pages of articles, charts, and statistics from financial experts who all agree that America’s economy is on a collision course due to the nation’s level of unsustainable debt. The federal government leaders continue to spend in the hopes it will get them reelected, and for those left paying the bill, there is no end in sight. Maybe you have heard the expression, “we are kicking the can down the road” for elected leaders to deal with. Actually, the road has become a dead end and we are drawing closer to a meltdown. Regulations, laws, and higher taxes are adding to the burden of the productive working people and entrepreneurs in America. For some people it has become more profitable to be on the dole than to be a paid employee. Those who are paying careful attention and are armed with knowledge will understand the problems facing America. By reviewing secular and Biblical history, we also realize that an empire or a superpower does not last forever, but is eventually replaced by the nation or empire that can control the job markets, the military, and the money—including the lending. America was once a lender, but now we are a borrower. We were once producers but now we are consumers of imports. We were leaders, but now we are followers. Many are concerned, not only about the future, but about their own economic security. The good news for believers who have received the covenant of redemption through Christ is that the Scriptures are filled with amazing, faith filled stories of God’s intervention in the realm of the basic human needs. He will provide water, shelter, food, finances, employment, tax relief, and every human need mankind will experience. Throughout this book, we will explore several of these promises and predictions to reveal how blessings are not just created by the hands of men, but are a part of God’s own covenant with us. These truths of faith must be mixed with practical understanding and Biblical insight in order to unlock the door of wisdom for financial success, favor and blessing.
