Moody’s downgraded the banking system rating. Don’t be afraid–pray the faith-filled prayers in IFA’s new prayer guide on the banking crisis.

From CNBC. In a harsh blow to an already-reeling sector, Moody’s Investors Service cut its view on the entire banking system to negative from stable.

Get involved in state level prayer with IFA.

 

The firm, part of the big three rating services, said Monday it was making the move in light of key bank failures that prompted regulators to step in Sunday with a dramatic rescue plan for depositors and other institutions impacted by the crisis.

“We have changed to negative from stable our outlook on the US banking system to reflect the rapid deterioration in the operating environment following deposit runs at Silicon Valley Bank (SVB), Silvergate Bank, and Signature Bank (SNY) and the failures of SVB and SNY,” Moody’s said in a report.

The move followed action late Monday, when Moody’s warned it either was downgrading or placing on review for downgrade seven individual institutions.

The moves are important because they could impact credit ratings and thus borrowing costs for the sector. …

Moody’s on Monday downgraded Signature Bank and said it would remove all ratings. It placed the following institutions under review for potential downgrades: First Republic, Intrust Financial, UMBZions BancorpWestern Alliance and Comerica. …

The firm said it expects the U.S. economy to fall into recession later this year, further pressuring the industry.

Lord God Almighty 🙏, as Americans we lift our banking system to you because you are the provider and protector for all of us. As a country this money is yours and not ours. Please help us be humble instead of being wickedly evil. Keep our eyes on you!!

Father. I have no clue on how to effectively pray for the American banking and financial system other than a simple prayer Jesus taught to deliver us from evil, and let YOUR KINGDOM come, and let YOUR WILL be DONE on earth, (in us, our nation and our political and financial system) as it is in Heaven. Father, Jesus spoke wise and profound parables regarding investors, employers, and servants. These are a part of the society of the human race you created so you obviously have an interest in how these effect your people. Father, we pray on behalf of your church, on behalf of those who call themselves yours, who may or may not be actually living lives that prove they actually are yours, those who may be overly focused on the cares of this life instead of your Kingdom, we pray deep powerful Holy Spirit conviction on them and a raising up of those who are spiritually blind, sick and naked, lame, and near spiritual death because they were caught unawares or unguarded by enemy forces who came to lie, kill and steal the Word and Spiritual inheritance of your people.

Father forgive us for our personal sins and spiritual sloth, and raise us up with your 7 spirits, your wisdom and might with your counsel and discernment, to fear and obey you properly so that our nation can be blessed. Father you promise to hear and heal or land when your people humble themselves and pray and we pray that you would help us by your Holy Spirit to consistently do that so you can honor your promise. THANK YOU for heading and answering our prayers and by the sacrifice of Jesus, to make us more than conquerors against all enemy forces.

    Father, I would also ask that you deliver your people from all their fears in these perilous days as Psalms declares, as we watch our nation struggling spiritually, politically, and financially, Father protect our natiin’s sovereignty innevery area, and our constitutional rights, Father strengthen and deliver us from all fear, and especially the fear of fear, and the fear of unbelief, faith and faithfulness are gifts from you gained for us by, Jesus, and given to us through your word, who Jesus IS, as John explains innhis gospel. Father especially steady the poor and weak of your people innthese days, who see the news and tremble at it, may you turn that around so that they tremble in a holy way with holy awe and fear of you and your discipline and faithfulness, mature your churchto truly walk by faith despite what we see happening in our circumstances and inntge news. Thank you for hearing our prayers.

    Psalm 34:4
    I sought the LORD, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears. … I inquired of Yahweh, and He answered me, And delivered me.

Lord Jesus, intercessor, provider and prince of peace! Intercede to stop the evil from collapsing any more banks and to protect our economy. Provide for those in your flock with cash so that we can survive the digital economic takeover. Let your peace come to us so that we can be comforted and can continue to contribute to your work without fear!

GOD tells us to “speak those things that are not as though they were!” Instead of saying that people will take over banking to make a government controlled central bank, I bind every attempt to make a central bank in America, and I bind every attempt by globalists to take over America! I decree that America will remain free as long as intecessors are bringing our GOD into every facet of our lives through daily prayer in JESUS MIGHTY NAME!

We are more than conquerors THANK YOU Father.

We are being set up for more control and cashless society. MARANATHA!

This is the beginning of “rescuing” us by demanding a government controlled central bank currency system only, of replacing a possibly engineered failure of the baking system by instituting the rigid controls of a cashless society. Step by step, it is sold as protecting us from the “bad” unregulated banks (and yes, there are problems there), until control of the economy is wrested from the banks to the FED (which is not controlled by Congress) or possibly another entity. With our financial resources controlled this way (and the resources which depend upon the financial) , we, too, will be totally controlled by those who control the finances. Watch documentaries on China’s social credit system and get the idea.

Could this be a judgement on Baal, the “money god” of satan’s Kingdom? I have read that this SVB was one of the most “woke” banks in the USA, supporting Communism (disguised as Black Lives Matter) and the LGBT+ agenda with millions of dollars. High Tech companies have openly defied God, Israel, and the Church in many cases. This shaking may be a correction to this folly! The Biden family is also being exposed for recieving millions from the communist Chinese, who hate America, by the House Oversight Committee. Let God’s righteous Justice roll ON!

God is our source: “ God is your Source! Sound easier to say than believe? When it comes to standing in faith for things we know we need to survive or want so desperately, the battle is on. Satan is waiting in the wings to convince you that God isn’t going to meet your needs. He’ll tell you God doesn’t want to help you or that He won’t make it in time. These are lies, lies and more lies.” “Corinthians 8:6 (AMPC)
“Yet for us there is [only] one God, the Father, Who is the Source of all things.…” I will repeat God is our source For (all things). Times of harshness is inevitable, Satan is still around pulling strings for the puppeteers, BUT GOD! As we enter into this season of Banks collapsing, spoken through the Prophets voices, this is Gods message to us: Stand strictly by Faith, staying in the word and proclaiming, with Praises and shouting the enemy down. “ Living by Faith is not just a gimmick to try, it should be every Christian’s lifestyle. We can have Victory in the name of Jesus! I know that there are millions who are concerned about their retirement 401ks”, I am one of them but I research what God says, HE will take care of us. “ 19. Deuteronomy 8:18 (NKJV)
“And you shall remember the Lord your God, for it is He! who gives you power to get wealth, that He may establish His covenant which He swore to your fathers, as it is this day.” This is where we fight the devil and his entourage of people who are following his lead to a one world Bank system. It’s not going to happen, because Prayer with Praise and Asking Jesus to save us and provide a way! We must be soldiers in Gods Army to rely on Him. (Deuteronomy 28:7 (MSG)
“God will defeat your enemies who attack you. They’ll come at you on one road and run away on seven roads.” There are so many scriptures to shout back at the enemies, by releasing our Faith we will defeat the enemy that has had a bondage on us ( America) for years. “ Matthew 6:25-32
“That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? Can all your worries add a single moment to your life? And why worry about your clothing? Look at the lilies of the field and how they grow. “ Jesus is telling us Gods words are solid, if we apply The Faith from His words into all situations and, do not become quitters and allow Satan to lie to us because he is the one who ramrodded the sinful place we are in. Yes, sin we all have suffered from sin. Forgiveness and repent is on the table, so we can be true soldiers of Christ. The rest of the story: “ Why do you have so little faith? So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs.” As believers we have the Holy Spirit inside of us: “ But the power won’t go to work until we ( you) put it to work! Jesus clearly teaches us that prayer puts the power within you to work.” Remember God gave us the same spirit He has. Philippians-4-13 I (we) can Do All Things through Christ who strengthens You(Us). Through Christ—-are the key words as the same spirit Christ Has! Wonder why the banks are failing! “ Psalm 37:21 (NIV)
“The wicked borrow and do not repay, but the righteous give generously.” This is what has happened to US in America – the printing of money we did not have and then the wicked government we have in office has caused this catastrophe! Whether it be from fraud, or people voting the wrong person into office, the list is long or The WE not speaking up has activated these strongholds in our lives. Now we need to get on board and stand and take back what the enemy has stolen from us. “ Well, I went to the enemy’s camp and
I took back what he stole from me (x3)
I went to the enemy’s camp and
I took back what he stole from me
You know
He’s under my feet (x6)
Satan is under my feet“ Let us get busy with Gods words in our prayers, not one prayer, but PRAYERS! “ If you act on the Word out of sincerity in your heart and stay in the word, Jesus will never let you down…no matter if there are mistakes” KC— So we must all take deep breaths- dive into the words and say “ God help me!” Remember we are taking back what the enemy stole from US. “ Shout the enemy down, Our Father will be happy and smiling at the same time, because we have stepped out of the boat onto the water of LIFE. ! Prayers of blessing as we work for Restoration in the Kingdom!

Lord, it saddens us when we see our entire culture worshipping the false god of money. The security and confidence that most people place in their money, well it grieves us to see such glory misplaced, when all glory belongs to you Father. May we understand clearly that our next breath belongs to You.
As we cast all our cares upon You because You (truly) care for us, let us watch in peace and trust as you deliver us from this pending financial doom. Father, help us to walk by faith, not by sight. Amen

This isn’t surprising at all, considering the stagflation in our economy. The New World Order is out to destroy the very fabric of our society- economically included. Lord, please. stabilize our economy, including the banking system in our nation. I bind the attempts of the NWO to destroy our nation and its economy. I loose a spirit of economic health and well-being, where honesty and integrity are hallmarks in our society. In Jesus’ mighty name.

Lord, I pray for protection for businesses, business owners, non-profits, and others who need money in order to earn money. Lord, the foolishness of the current government leadership is wreaking havoc on our economy. Yet, Lord, not my will but Thine be done. Protect us. Discipline us. Do what You need to do to turn people’s hearts toward You. Glorify Yourself in this matter. And strengthen our hearts as You deal with this nation. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

The corporate prayer listed is wrong. These failures of SVB and Signature Bank are due to corruption, unGodliness and even anti-Christ like policies.
Please pray the “our banking system returns to a system that fears the Lord God, honors Him, and is fair and just as His Law expects.”

    AMEN!!! Keep in mind that our fiat money is only as strong as the world’s confidence in it. When our corrupt government took us off of the gold standard, and later the sliver certificates, we fell into the trap of the very wealthy world financiers. Todays examples would include Bill Gates, George Soros, Media Moguls, etc. who desire total control of the earth.
    A second issue is that both coasts (large urban populations) breed crime, sin and corruption. The possibility exists that God just may be punishing the wicked, but I do not know His purposes in this, other than He draws people to Him through the tough times not the mountaintop good times.
