As government shutdown looms, Speaker Johnson is refusing omnibus bills. Will that put him at an impasse with the Senate?

From Fox News. Speaker Mike Johnson is warning that the House and Senate could be at an “impasse” on government funding if the Democrat-controlled chamber tries to force the House GOP to bringing dense multi-subject spending bills to the House floor.

Find out when your state prays.

 

“We’ve sent appropriations bills over to the Senate and they have done nothing with them. Ultimately, we are going to be in a conference committee working out final agreements and all these things, but we are hopeful that the Senate will do their job,” Johnson told Fox News Digital in an interview. …

None have come for a vote in the Senate, where Democrats have lambasted Republicans for writing spending bills at a lower level than what was agreed to under the bipartisan debt limit deal. However, Senate appropriators announced a bipartisan deal last week to combine three spending bills into a “minibus.”

Johnson told Fox News Digital the House and Senate were “going to be at an impasse” if Schumer sent a minibus or an omnibus to the House rather than taking up the 12 individual spending bills.

“We are committed to returning to regular order, and that means…12 separate appropriations bills. And I think that people are with us on that,” Johnson said. …

“The problem with omnibus and minibus spending bills is that it’s irresponsible… Too much money is spent, there’s often not enough accountability for it. And the American people are not able to adequately follow how their [money] is being spent. And we have to change that,” Johnson said. …

Lord, help Speaker Johnson to stand strong on dividing up the spending bills separately and for a majority in the House and Senate to support him on that. Cause Chuck Schumer to do his job and bring these bills up for a vote and not be able to stall to cause a government shut down. We also ask that you would bring to fruition speaker Johnson’s idea of having a “ladder” of stages when different government budgets come due rather than everything at once. Let not forces of evil have large omnibus or even minibus bills to hide their evil agenda in.

I thank you God that your will be done through Speaker Johnson. You placed him in this position to do your will for America. I stand with him in prayer to stop the broad all inclusive spending. I pray Speaker Johnson have support in the House. I claim America for your kingdom, that we turn from the wickedness and the church will rise up and stand against the woke and reject anything that is not your word, the only truth. I praise you and give you glory. I believe you have sent your angel armies to assist in taking back our country. Amen

Lord God. Precious Jesus, Holy Spirit. “Not by might, nor by power but, by My Spirit, says the Lord.” Lord, I speak an opening of the hearts and minds of liberals and conservatives. It is not about “their” party, it IS about this Nation. Reveal, reveal, reveal, and cause these people to remember that they serve THIS nation, not their own pride and opinions, and little kingdoms. Father, please break all lying spirits off and away from our congress. Clean house! Let the Truth stand, and every lie be fully revealed and dealt with. I believe the truth IS known and ignored by self-serving hearts. Sweep out the chaos caused by selfish ambitions, and broken systems. Make America Yours again. In Jesus’ name-Amen.

Thank you, Father, for a leader that will lead! Help House Speaker Johnson to stand firm,
with a clear mind and clear vision. Help him to do what he has been tasked to do, and may
other members of the House have the courage to stand with him.

    Please forgive my ignorance Shirley – but “85000” (Eighty-Five Thousand) ?
    As to the first part of your prayer – “Amen”- America is right now in the most dire situation she has been in for almost Eight Decades and that is no exaggeration.
