Day 22 – The Influence of “mammon” on the Marketplace
September 21, 2021
– having other gods besides you, idolatry
– treating the wealthy with nice clothes, etc. better than someone who is poor and doesn’t have nice things
– pastors who are attempting to lead without their eyes on Jesus
– compromise; people that seek 501C3 status just to get the tax incentive (Giving should be with a pure heart before the Lord, not for the tax break)
– President Trump gave the power back to churches with his tremendous support of religious freedom,
– We repent because we did not appreciate him for this work in our churches and non-profit organizations
– medical, dental, engineers, etc who work for MONEY alone and don’t care for the recipients of their labors
– women who work just to get the designer jeans for their kids (The children really need time and attention)
– money issues, love of money that divide families and marriages
– political leaders who crave power and money and will do ANYTHING for it; greed
– Federal Reserve putting our nation into debt; pork-barrel spending, welfare act, etc. with the hidden meaning being passed into law
– taxes from marijuana, lottery, gambling, etc never actually help the community
– relying on ourselves instead of relying on the Lord for needs (Give and it will be given…)
– thinking that the means justify the end (Love your neighbor as yourself)
– churches that fail to teach and encourage each other in the baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire!
– Wherever the desire for money has caused us to act differently; Making our job more important than God
– Churches where money becomes a god. Where pastors are deceitful because the love of money has taken over. Pastors who are afraid they’ll lose their non-profit status, and don’t preach that abortion or same-sex marriage, among other things are wrong
– Compromising the truth because of the fear of losing money. For the church not taking advantage of President Trump’s repeal of the 501C3. For pastors who still feared the loss of money.
– For greed to have taken the place of charity to others and prevented our use of money for kingdom purposes. That money being the goal, or motivating force, in the health, dental, or teaching professions
– That women going to work so they some extra this or that so that they or their kids would have something extra that they really didn’t need and exchanging our time and care for our children for money for little luxuries that suck the life out of our families.
– Where the money comes into the relationship between husband and wife because expectations aren’t met.
– Our government and political leaders who crave money and power and have sacrificed their souls for money, finding their satisfaction in wealth and greed.
– The mammon system that was developed with the Federal Reserve bringing about the pork-barreling where the money for abortion and other immoral things have been hidden under other causes, making marijuana legal because then it can be taxed. All the compromises for the sake of getting more money
– Not seeing clearly God’s desired outcome because we’ve been blinded by the desire for money
– Lotteries and gambling that have been justified because they would bring in money that would help the needy.
– Having the need or desire for money prevent or counteract the desire to serve God’s purposes
– It’s the love of money and of material possessions that cause us to buy things rather than use the money to help others, ignoring the golden rule, loving money more than we love our neighbor.
– The use of money and the promise of money to buy votes or the allegiance of people
– Not trusting God to be our provider and not using our money to manifest the presence of God by the priority we give what money can purchase.
– Not hearing the cries of those, our neighbors, who are in need, being afraid to be involved in people’s lives because of what they might expect. Turning a blind eye to the needs of others causes God to not meet our own needs. Relying on ourselves rather than relying on God.
– The constant need for more, an insatiable need for more
– Families where both parents are working because of the desire for more they really need, depriving the children of the guidance and protection of a parent. Not trusting God for his provision. A lack of contentment within the family so there isn’t a constant striving for more. Too busy for the family,
– Religion – Pastors and congregations that have compromised the message because of the fear of losing their tax-exempt status.
– Doctrinal misconceptions that are taught, the power of the Holy Spirit is not for today, the kingdom of God is future, the Bible says that things will get worse and worse because the devil controls the earth so that the church is rendered powerless.
– having pastors and other ministers burdened because it’s thought that as ministers of God, they should be paid less.

– Education – The corruption of our schools pushing agendas that indoctrinate our children. The failure of parents to protect their children,
– Media – the role the media had in unleashing a spirit of fear upon our nation in regard to Covid
– Family – Wanting a better house or car or goodies and sacrificing the children for the sake of something more. The money in the Vatican, big churches taking money and not taking care of the widows or orphans or needy. Pushing things
– Business – the CDC and the WHO who usurped control to shut down our country, to shut down our world.
– Free Masonry and its impact of business leadership
– Politics – The greed from foreign nations that put people into positions where they can wield power. Repent that we have continued to vote them into power. Millions of dollars were spent on trying to find something that could bring President Trump down. The voter fraud that we have paid for and allowing it to happen on our watch.
– Education – the kickbacks on books. That the educational system, for hiding our face in the sand. Programs of CRT and LGBT and common core that our taxes pay for but doesn’t give our children a proper education
– All the deals that have been made in China and other nations because of cheap labor. That we have lusted after goods from countries that are trying to take us over. Allowing our goods and services to be moved out of our nation and then paying high prices to get them back, sending our jobs overseas.
– That our school books are being printed by Muslim publishers with a Muslim slant
– Media – That we idolize those who have made a lot of money even down to the drug dealer on the corner. That we think because they have money we should listen to them without regard to their character. We want to imitate them and allow our children to imitate them because they have money.
– Striving for careers/positions that are driven by the money offered rather than ones offered by God – that is ordained by God. Lack of obedience.
– Turning our eyes to the “colors” of the world rather than the “Glory” of God. (Financial Capital of the World Wall Street): The Enemy has taken over this city (NY-NY) and we have yielded to it.
– The root of wanting bigger and better is by loving money first…rather than loving God first.
– Bringing “the world” into our churches. We have used the ways of the world, the schemes and themes of the world to entice people to come and gather.
– Ignoring the principles of handling money in the Word of God in order to get what we want, personally.
– Ignoring the principles of handling money in the Word of God by our Nation’s leadership. The misuse of money to get what they want to push their agenda (ie bills, mandates, laws, etc)
– Debt and bondage in our land that holds us captive and slaves to the mammon.
– “Spending” from Washington DC that is beyond what is reasonable and right. Salaries in our government are inflated and beyond what is reasonable and right.
– Thank you for all you do to help bring this nation into healing.
– The Church’s failure to tithe. Putting more faith into mammon than You. Tithing shows what we trust in. Many don’t trust in You because they don’t trust their earthly fathers. Heal that relationship too, Lord.
– Lack of trust and fear of lack. We have a covenant with God. What we have belongs to God and what God has belongs to us. We are to live in a relationship with God. God owns everything and The Lord is our great Provider. We have everything. Let us live in a relationship with Him.
– Corruption in Church leadership. The greed of pastors asking for handouts from the government.
– Church leadership fearing losing Money if they preach the Truth. Speaking to tickle the ears.
– The Church and the 501c3. Repent where the Church has taken the government’s side. The Church has looked to the government instead of to the Lord.

– Where our treasure is, there will our heart also be. I repent that our hearts have not been with You, as our God, as our most precious treasure.
– Love of money leading to lies and deceptions, bribes. For example, hospitals are being awarded for lying and saying deaths are from covid.

We illegally take people out of their homes and make them homeless for the love of money-home foreclosures. Lord, I ask that You rend our hearts with repentance. Show us our darkened hearts. Father remove this great sin from our land. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
– Father God I repent also for the drug trafficking the is fueled by the love of money. I repent for those people that intentionally addict people to make money. Lord, this is so atrocious; valuing money more than human beings who are made in Your image. Father, we need You to intervene in our hearts. Bring the fear of God. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
– Father God we come to you tonight. We repent and ask forgiveness for the love of money in this country. We ask forgiveness for the excess and waste. I am guilty of waste. Father forgive me. I pray to be a better steward of what You give us. I ask the You give wisdom, especially the church, on how to use the money that You give us. Guide us on the right path. In Jesus Name. Amen
– I ask forgiveness for the greed in our society, the greed in those in power, the greed of those that are in the business world. They cheat, lie, steal and even kill for money. Father, forgive us for this great evil. We are in need of true repentance. Send us the spirit of repentance, Lord. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
– Father tonight we come to You and lift up Wall Street to You and the money exchange there and the drive behind it. The people’s mood goes according to how the market is. We ask forgiveness for valuing money even more than our life. I just ask You to forgive us for putting money and power ahead of You.

It makes our children empty inside. Lord have mercy on us and forgive us for that. Help us emphasize the giving to others is more important. I ask forgiveness for leading my children wrong many times. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
– I ask forgiveness for the leaders in the church who have fleeced the flock. Those that are making themselves rich on account of their congregants. They are not taking care of the orphans or the widows.
They are hired shepherds, not true shepherds. I ask that You change their hearts, Lord. If they will not turn and repent, remove them, Father from those positions and replace them with true shepherds. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
– I also cry out for Your forgiveness and repent for the lust of things, for the competition of who has a better car, house, for the self-promotion. We are lovers of ourselves. Forgive us for the idols in our hearts instead of loving God. Forgive us for loving things. Forgive the fear of the future and thinking of our investments instead of trusting you. We humble ourselves before You. Turn us away from greed, for the lust of the eyes and the pride of life. Father, heal our hearts and our nation.
– Father America has been so caught up in making money and parents working 40-60 hours a week and the children raising themselves. They want better cars, college education. This has caused children to be exposed to TV and other evils on the computer. Forgive us for thinking that we need to give our children everything. Forgive us for that, In Jesus’ name. Amen.
– I pray for the stress that is put on the people in the workforce which has brought physical trauma, marital trauma. Lord forgive us for that. Amen.
– I ask for forgiveness for exploiting the workers. Fair wage for the worker is what You require in Your Word. People are underpaid and overworked many times. Bring your Kingdom Economy. It will take a divine intervention and the right people at the right places. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
– Forgive us Father as a nation for living in debt. Our own House and Senate have been busy spending trillions of dollars and putting us more in bondage and taxes. We do not need half the stuff they are giving away to people that do not even work. I read tonight that in order to meet their fiscal year they took away 1 billion away from Israel which they use for their iron dome. Forgive us for taking away that money from them. Lord, we repent. In Jesus’ Name.
– I just ask forgiveness for this administration that although it is not legal, are there. I stand in the gap for the trillions of dollars they want to spend. I say no. I ask for those 2 democrats that will not stand for this. I ask forgiveness for the love of money and all the iniquity bound up in this bill. I ask that You bring it down and that it will not go through. In Jesus’ Name. Amen
– I pray that they continue to make ‘wrong’ decisions that will delay this issue and it will eventually not be able to pass. I pray that our President will be back before it gets passed. Lord, we ask for that ‘delay’. Intervene Lord. They are supposed to vote on this tomorrow. In Jesus’ Name, we pray. Amen
– I ask that the enemy’s plan to break the economy of this nation will be stopped. That it will come to an end. I ask that every plot and plan will be stopped. I ask that every voice that will stand up for truth will speak in Congress. I ask that this socialistic government will be brought down in Jesus’ Name.
– I ask forgiveness for wrong motivation from the younger generation wanting higher degrees and going to these elite schools so they can have more influence. I also ask forgiveness for the big tech seducing them. I ask for the deceitfulness of the heart. We are so seduced for love for power and material things and greater influence in the world. Forgive our hearts and our wicked imaginations. Lord God, may we humble ourselves. You are the source of all gifts and talents. Forgive us in Jesus’ Name.
– Father I ask forgiveness for women being forced to get a job instead of staying home with their children, even when they wanted to stay home and motherhood is looked down upon; then their children are given to others to raise. I pray that women will begin to have the courage to stand up to what is right and make do and see Your blessings come. May we line up with Your word. It does not mean we cannot have a career or voice; we do. We are so off. God forgive us and bring us back, in Jesus’ Name.
– Father so often times the church itself is caught up in ‘making money’ for a bigger church or nicer buildings and being able to say we brought in this million $ and are not feeding the ‘souls’ of those that are attending and tithing and remain starving for truth. It is not every church, but oftentimes the ministers are so caught up in programs instead of their congregations. Marriages are falling apart because they are not being taught how to get along. Father, we repent. In Jesus’ Name.
– 1 John 3:16- ‘By this, we know love, because He laid down His life for us. And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. But whoever has this world’s goods, and sees his brother in need, and shuts up his heart from him, how does the love of God abide in him? We repent for those that have not given. We repent for having more programs instead of having more reaching out, more loving the people You are to have us to love. In Jesus’ Name.

30 Days of Confession, Repentance, and Prayer for the Healing of our Nation
August 31 – September 29, 2021
“When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land,
or send pestilence among My people,
if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face,
and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.“
2 Chronicles 7:13-14
We of the 24/7 NSPC have been engaged in a spiritual battle…a warfare of love…interceding hourly on behalf of our nation for the past 4¾ years, beginning on November 11, 2016. Today, we enter into 30 Days of Confession, Repentance, and Prayer for the Healing of our Nation, answering the call of God to come together, fall on our knees and confess the sin of our nation, repenting corporately before Him. When we do, His promise is that He will “hear from heaven, forgive our sin and heal our land!”
Our corporate sin has allowed the undermining and erosion of the very foundations of this nation! Heeding the words of Ezra 10:4, we acknowledge “arise, for this matter is our responsibility.” Receiving conviction for the sin of this nation in our hearts, we will be empowered to confess and repent for those sins, then pray effectively for the healing of our nation!
Over the next 30 days, as we identify, confess and repent for our national sins, we will trust God for the healing He promises in His Word. This is a battle, and it must be engaged in by individuals, families, churches and communities. It is an all-out war against the American way of life…and “We, The People” are under attack! Unless the Body of Christ repents and rises up in prayer, the United States will have no future.
Like the Jews in Susa, we have been given permission with the legal right and responsibility to fight and defend ourselves and our land. And fight we must…for our very lives and the lives of our families depend on it!
“The king granted the Jews who were in each and every city the right to assemble and to defend their lives,
to destroy, to kill and to annihilate the entire army of any people or province which might attack them,
including children and women, and to plunder their spoil, on one day in all the provinces of King Ahasuerus…”
Esther 8:11-12
Like the people of Israel working with Nehemiah, we have been on the wall, watching and rebuilding with both trowel and sword in hand! We have built…now we fight!
“When I saw their fear, I rose and spoke to the nobles, the officials and the rest of the people:
‘Do not be afraid of them; remember the Lord who is great and awesome,
and fight for your brothers, your sons, your daughters, your wives and your houses.’”
Nehemiah 4:14
True corporate repentance does not happen spontaneously. It first takes place in individual hearts, is nurtured by prayer and fasting, and is then birthed into the larger arena. Prior to every national awakening in the United States, there was an emphasis on confession and prayer, fueled by authentic repentance. In Scripture, we see that solemn assemblies were called by priests, prophets or kings, for the entire nation, and throughout our US history, we have had 788 solemn assemblies for national repentance.
The blessing of national repentance is not only that God heals and blesses a nation, but also that a passion for His Presence is stirred up in the Body of Christ…and oh, how we need that now! Having begun this time of 30 Days of Confession, Repentance, and Prayer for the Healing of our Nation on August 31, 2021, we will conclude it by WELCOMING THE KING OF GLORY into all 50 states and territories, simultaneously, on September 29, 2021, during the feast of SIMCHAT TORAH, “The Joy of the Torah.” As Christians, our joy is found in the Living Torah…Jesus Christ, the Word of God!
We prayerfully invite all Christian believers, from each of our 50 States and Territories, to join us in this initiative. Like David’s mighty men, let us all awaken, arise, and adore our GOD… taking our stand and holding our ground!
Amen! Alleluia!
