Wednesday, February 22, 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!
“That He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory,
to be strengthened with might by His Spirit in the inner man;
that Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love,
may be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth and length and depth and height,
and to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge,
that you might be filled with all the fullness of God.”
Ephesians 3:16-19
We sing: In the Presence of Jehovah
In and out of situations that tug-a-war at me, all day long I struggle for answers that I need.
Then I come into His Presence, all my questions become clear,
and for a sacred moment, no doubt can interfere.
In the Presence of Jehovah, God Almighty, Prince of Peace
Troubles vanish, hearts are mended, in the Presence of the King.
Through His love the Lord provided a place for us to rest, a place to find the answers in hours of distress.
There is never any reason to give up in despair.
Just slip away and breathe His Name; He will surely meet you there.
In the Presence of Jehovah, God Almighty, Prince of Peace
Troubles vanish, hearts are mended, in the Presence of the King.
In the Presence of Jehovah, God Almighty, Prince of Peace
Troubles vanish, hearts are mended, in the Presence of the King…

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.

What is taking place in the lives of students, faculty and the community at Asbury is like a well, which has been reopened and is springing forth, flowing from KY all across the nation. Lives are being touched and transformed, and for all that we see happening, and for all that is yet unseen, we give thanks with grateful hearts! The rebirthing of this nation is taking place, and we are blessed and honored to be allowed to “midwife” it in prayer! Pray
Mat Staver sent out this great “first person” report on the Asbury Revival by a Gen Z member. Read, and pray for the flame of this outpouring to spark revival in all the schools and youth groups, and in congregations throughout every community, city and state in which we live.

I’m hesitant to post my thoughts on what’s happening in Wilmore. A few of you may have heard about the “Revival” at Asbury University. I attended the gatherings from the first day ‘til now. A chapel service that didn’t stop but continued spontaneously for over 2 weeks now. It began as an intimate space for students but it is now the focus of global intrigue, mass pilgrimage, and digital evaluation. I am aware that not everyone has a paradigm for this form of spirituality, but I want to be honest to my own understanding. Pray.
I come from a spiritual background that has left me weary of hype in a culture of spectacle. I’ve grown tired of disintegrous representations of divine work but it is clear God is moving in a surprising and transformative way. However, when you think of “revival”, what comes to mind might not be what’s happening. To quote Professor McCall, a theology professor at Asbury Seminary, “what we are experiencing now—this inexpressibly deep sense of peace, wholeness, holiness, belonging, and love—is only the smallest of windows into the life for which we are made.” Pray.
The movements of the spirit in western evangelicalism always exist in the middle of a cultural moment. A generous interpretation of these movements reveals unique traits for each one. For example, fervor for the Great Commission at the Mt. Hermon Conference, overwhelming joy in Toronto Outpouring, zeal for the lost in Brownsville Revival, acts of healing at the Kansas City awakening, and manifestation of tongues at the Azusa Street revival. In each move of the spirit, God clearly manifests in a specific way for that generation. Pray.
I find it interesting that God would mark this outpouring with:
- A tangible sense of peace for a generation with unprecedented anxiety. Pray.
- A restorative sense of belonging for a generation amidst an epidemic of loneliness. Pray.
- An authentic hope for a generation marked by depression. Pray.
- A leadership emphasizing protective humility in relationship with power for a generation deeply hurt by the abuse of religious power. Pray.
- A focus on participatory adoration for an age of the digitally distracted. Pray.
It feels as if God is personally meeting young adults in ways meaningful to them. My generation was formed differently than previous generations, and so the traits of this revival are different from the revivals of old.
- The new outpouring is not the signs and wonders nor zealous intercession nor spontaneous tongues nor charismatic physicalities nor the visceral travail. Pray.
- It is marked by a tangible feeling of holistic peace, a restorative sense of belonging, a non-anxious presence through felt safety, repentance driven by experienced kindness, humble stewardship of power, and holiness through treasuring adoration. Pray.
It is important to reflect on the words of Jesus: ”No one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, new wine must be poured into new wineskins.” I don’t want to make the mistake of trying to fit this new work into old paradigms. The new wine cannot be understood with the old expectations of revival. As the revival has grown, people attempt to evaluate and participate from their old expectations. Pray.
You cannot keep new wine in the old wineskin; or it may cause disappointment, disillusionment and divisiveness. In humility, we must receive the new wine with an open hand without trying to force this spiritual movement into our well-intended but old expectations of renewal. We must strive to humbly participate, appreciatively celebrate, and intentionally respond to this surprising work of the Spirit with openness and hunger. Pray.
We pray:
- That all across our nation, the Spirit of the Living God will manifest to the students who are hungry for more of God, and through them, many others will be touched and transformed. Pray.
- That we will personally commit to intercede for our local schools, colleges and seminaries, asking God to spring up with wells of revival in each of them! 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 convict the “usurper” Biden for treason, and remove all who are part of his faux administration, restoring righteousness and justice for all!! Pray.
- Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
