Wednesday, February 15, 2023 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 # (Ongoing call…24 hours a day!)
We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
Let them praise the Name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted;
His glory is above the earth and heaven.
And He has exalted the horn of His people, the praise of all His saints —
of the children of Israel, a people near to Him.
Praise the Lord!
Psalm 148:13-14
We sing: Praise His Name
Reaches of heaven, starry heights, lights of the evening dancing in silent skies,
brilliance of morning, breaking day…O let them praise Him, praise His Name!
O praise His Name, O praise His Name! Let all His wondrous works declare His praise!
Mightiest mountains, peaceful plains, snowfall and fire, thundering ocean waves.
Kings and their kingdoms, age to age…O let them praise Him, praise His Name!
O praise His Name, O praise His Name! Let all His wondrous works declare His praise!
O praise His Name, O praise His Name! Let all His wondrous works declare His praise!
King enthroned in majesty, all things made by His decree! Hear creation’s melody,
“Praise Him! Praise Him!”
Everything with life and breath, everywhere from east to west, every heart raised from the dead,
“Praise Him! O Praise Him!
Angels echo the refrain, “Jesus, Lamb for sinners slain!”
Name above all other names: Praise Him!
O praise His Name, O praise His Name! Let all His wondrous works declare His praise!
O praise His Name, O praise His Name! Let all His wondrous works declare His praise!

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, for our First Lady, Melania, and their marriage
and for all the members of their family. We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.
In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit,
so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation.
Pray.
For protection, provision, and peace
for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!
As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, let those leaders that God anoints and appoints
take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
Pray.
For us to receive and put on the full armor of God as we begin this hour,
that we might be protected as we stand in the gap and pray for our nation!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Wednesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 267
The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 157
For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off,
as many as the Lord our God will call.”
Acts 2:39
We rejoice over the REVIVAL that is taking place with students on the campus of Asbury Seminary in Kentucky. After years of prayer for our youth, the cleansing of the educational system, and the removal of WOKENESS from our society, “We are just sitting with him,” said Asbury Student Body President Alison Perfater. “It’s just deeply gentle and deeply loving; it’s just a glimpse of what I think heaven will look like.” Pray.
it is refreshing to hear of such a beautiful move of God, and learn that it is spreading to those from other campuses across the nation! As we read these reflections of what is taking place there, let us ask God for that same heart for prayer and repentance, leading to the salvation of those we love and are praying for in our own circles! May they receive Christ and then share Him with others who are lost! Pray.
REFLECTIONS FROM ASBURY
FEBRUARY 1970…the year God broke into a normal chapel service which continued non-stop for the next seven days and nights at Asbury University. The Jesus Movement was already beginning, but the Asbury Revival accelerated it dramatically. Eventually, teams of students left Asbury and went across the country, telling the story. Everywhere they went, revival and awakening broke out. Lives were transformed by the movement at Asbury and the Jesus Movement that occurred. We have longed for and sought revival ever since. Pray.
FEBRUARY 2023…Last Wednesday morning, the Lord moved in the Asbury chapel service in Hughes Auditorium. That single service has continued morning and night and is now on its eighth day. One of the leaders who was there last Wednesday observed that these last days have been days of consecration. We have no idea of the magnitude of what God has done in the last few days, and we have yet to see what could happen in the days ahead. Pray.
I have been a pastor for 54 years serving in the Baptist stream, and I’ve been sitting in Hughes Auditorium for the last two days, watching and experiencing this extraordinary movement. When revival touched down on our small Arkansas school in 1970 (Ouachita Baptist University), my wife and I witnessed firsthand the Manifest Presence of God as a noonday chapel went throughout the day, canceling classes and changing lives. We’ve never been the same. As a student of God’s revival movements across history for fifty years, I traveled for several years to churches, helping them pursue God in revival. I was a founding member of the OneCry initiative that seeks to help pastors and churches pursue God for revival and spiritual awakening. I have spoken and written a great deal about this theme, for it is the desperate need of our day. Our deteriorating culture illustrates that it is time for a needed movement from Heaven. Samuel Davies of the First Great Awakening said, “there are eras when only a large outpouring of the Spirit can produce a public general reformation.” Pray.
We have seen seasons of His movement in the church. In 2011, the Lord interrupted our normal schedule with an unusual outpouring of His Spirit which continued—every night except Saturdays—for three to four hours each evening for the next five weeks. It was not weird, nor wildly uncomfortable, but the quiet movement of the Spirit, filled with prayer, repentance, salvation, and spontaneous baptisms by new believers who came to faith in Christ. Pray.
Many are asking me what I’m observing, though, so I would give these cursory thoughts. Heaven records the full reality.)
- This is real. God is very present. Several hundred gathered in the morning hours, but the crowd filled every seat by the afternoon in the 1500-seat auditorium. Since Wilmore, KY is almost exclusively a college town with very little else, the crowd is primarily students, although many, like myself, are coming in to see what God is doing.
- Students from many other colleges are here, having traveled from across the country. The leaders at Asbury are very aware of this, even commissioning them at one point today to go back and cry out for revival on their campus.
- Worship is glorious, unified, and simple. A piano and guitar, led by various student teams who understand that worship is not performance.
- The altar is almost always full. Wonderful prayer counselors from Asbury are helping them. Wise leaders from the University are helping shepherd the moment. I’m sure they have learned from the past movements how to steward this best. Pray.
It is not “weird.” Everything is extremely orderly but vibrant, spontaneous, and powerful.
- It is a worship-based, Spirit-led, Scripture-fed prayer gathering…It is just what we should be doing all the time: waiting before God, worshiping Him, praying to Him, listening to Him, responding to Him, and being shepherded by wise leaders who see themselves merely as facilitators of God’s activity. (The Holy Spirit is a very good leader, by the way. Far better than mere men.)
- When the microphones were opened for testimonies, there were long lines of grateful people telling what God has done in the last 72 hours. Healing—both emotional, spiritual, and physical has happened in glorious ways. Very real and profound things are occurring quickly in hundreds of lives.
- The unity and worship are heavenly. No pretense, pride, or show. No manipulation. You don’t want to leave.
- Scripture was read for a long time by multiple people, washing over the congregation. After each Scripture, the response was, “The Word of God, and we believe it!”
- People seem to be moved by Christ deeply, not merely by emotion, although emotions are present. (How could we not be emotional if God is in the room in power and lives are being transformed?) Pray.
Within the first hour, I had moved from a spectator to a humble participant. Pray.
Samuel Davies, the president of Princeton who was in the First Great Awakening, said that during that time, “the gospel became almighty and carried everything before it.” In that nationwide movement, 15% of the population of America came to faith in Christ. Whole towns reported that there were no adults left who were unconverted.
Asbury is not that yet, but it is a beautiful mercy drop. In these days of social media and rapid communication, the flame could spread quickly. Millions of desperate believers in our nation are crying out for the next nationwide spiritual awakening. Small outbreaks are happening everywhere. Pray.
Asbury has a history of such movements, even before 1970. Their expectant faith has provided fertile ground for the Lord’s visitation. (Faith is undoubtedly an ingredient in why this is happening. There were some places where Jesus could do nothing because of their unbelief). Pray.
One hotel receptionist in the area said that they were sold out of rooms. “We were not prepared for revival,” she said. May it not be true of any of us.
We pray:
- We have been crying out to God to be merciful to us…and He is answering! We ask God to search our hearts and remove anything that is quenching the flow of His Spirit, and to break through in our lives and our churches with a Wind of the Spirit that will not stop. Pray.
- That God would send revival to His church and a mighty awakening to the lost. We ask that He manifest in power so millions can come to Christ as the church once again rises up in its missionary calling, fueling the acceleration and rapid expansion of the gospel…so that His Kingdom might come. Pray.
- That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray.
- That the members of Congress will investigate and reject the “usurper” Biden and all the corrupt things pertaining to his faux administration, and restoring righteousness and justice for all!! Pray.
- Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring intercessors who are called to this assignment to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
