If you walk into a bank with no money, no assets, and no income, and ask for a loan—not for a business, not for a house, not even for yourself, but to give away billions of dollars—you’d be laughed out of the bank. And rightly so.

Banks deal in risk and reward. They want collateral. They want repayment. If you offer nothing but good intentions, they’ll smile, shake their heads, and show you the door.

But your government does this exact thing every single day—and nobody laughs. The difference? The government has collateral. Not gold. Not oil. Not natural resources.

It has you. You are the collateral.

How the United States Borrows Money It Doesn’t Have

When the U.S. borrows money, it issues Treasury bonds, bills, and notes—IOUs backed by what they call the ‘full faith and credit’ of the United States. That’s not just a patriotic phrase. It’s a claim on your labor, your taxes, your productivity. You are the engine behind the promise to repay, whether you agreed to it or not.

So What’s the Collateral? You Are.

You were born into a system that pledged your future without your consent. The government projects your life’s productivity, your taxes, and your silence as evidence that the debt can be repaid. You are the asset—tracked, taxed, and trained to comply. Every hour you work, every dollar you spend, every form you fill out is part of the machine. It doesn’t ask for permission—it assumes ownership.

Taxation Without Representation… Again

You don’t get to vote on where your taxes go. They take first, then tell you later. You fund endless wars, foreign regimes, international banks, and corrupt NGOs—while your own streets crumble and your own borders dissolve. You’re told it’s for “freedom.” But you’re paying for your own chains.

You Are Paying Your Enemies

Your hard-earned dollars are being funneled into the hands of those who hate you—both foreign and domestic. Globalist institutions, radical governments, and shadow networks feast while the people of this nation tighten their belts. Your taxes are being weaponized—not to protect you, but to weaken you. You are financing the very system that seeks to destroy you.

The Spirit of Egypt is Still Alive

In the days of Pharaoh, Egypt enslaved God’s people with forced labor and idolatrous control. That spirit is alive and well. Only now, it wears a suit, prints money, and calls it freedom. You labor under invisible chains—taxed, tracked, and told you are free, while everything you build is claimed by the state. The Bible says, “The borrower is servant to the lender” (Proverbs 22:7), and you’re living in a nation of servants.

But this isn’t just America’s story. I’ve seen this same blueprint unfold in South Africa. I watched my country—rich in resources and culture—get hollowed out by the same globalist system. Our gold stolen. Our sovereignty gutted. Our people spiritually and economically enslaved. What happened there is now happening here. This is not new. It is methodical.

So who really owns your debt?

Think of the Iron Bank in Game of Thrones—a powerful, untouchable institution that controls kings with coin. That wasn’t fiction. That was prophecy wrapped in fantasy. The real-world Iron Bank is a global financial cartel—untouchable, unelected, and completely unaccountable. The so-called Federal Reserve isn’t federal, and it reserves nothing for you. Trace the roots to the City of London, and you’ll find names like Rothschild, Warburg, Schiff, Oppenheimer, Goldman, Lehman, and Sachs—ancient money lenders who have shaped empires and shattered nations.

Jesus confronted this very spirit when He flipped the tables of the moneychangers and drove them out of the temple, saying: “My house shall be called a house of prayer; but you have made it a den of thieves.” (Matthew 21:13)

And He exposed their father: “You are of your father the devil… he was a murderer from the beginning.” (John 8:44) And again in Revelation: “They say they are Jews and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.” (Revelation 2:9, 3:9)

This is the ancient war of Genesis 3:15: “I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your seed and her seed. He shall crush your head, and you shall bruise His heel.”

And yes—the bruising hurts. The serpent still strikes. But the crushing is coming.

You must recognize Egypt when you see it—and choose your Exodus by running toward Jesus.

He said: “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” (John 8:32) “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me… He has sent Me to proclaim liberty to the captives.” (Luke 4:18) “Whoever believes in Me will also do the works that I do—and greater works than these will he do.” (John 14:12)

And what did He do?

He healed the sick—because He has authority over the body. He opened blind eyes—because He has authority over perception and truth. He cast out demons—because He has authority over the unseen realm. He walked on water—because even the laws of nature obey His voice. He calmed storms, rebuked rulers, and exposed false shepherds. He crushed the systems that enslaved His people.

And then—He did what no ruler, prophet, or priest ever did:

He rose from the dead.

Because death was the final chain. The last weapon. And Jesus broke it.

When He walked out of that tomb, He didn’t just prove He was alive—He proved the system was finished.

And now He calls you—not into loyalty to empire, but into covenant with His Kingdom. Not into bondage, but into sonship. Not into fear, but into power, authority, and freedom.

“If you confess with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” (Romans 10:9)

And remember this, no matter what the system throws at you: “Lo, I am with you always—even unto the end of the world.” (Matthew 28:20)
