11-29-19 Notes from the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“International SHABBAT Celebration”
7-10 PM Eastern 712-770-4340 code: 543555 #
“Sing to the Lord, all the earth; proclaim His salvation day after day.
Declare His glory among the nations, His marvelous deeds among all peoples.
For great is the Lord and most worthy of praise!
He is to be feared above all gods.
For all the gods of the nations are idols, but the Lord made the heavens.”
1 Chronicles 16:23-26
Let us prepare to enter into the Presence of God as we launch out into this evening’s SHABBAT CALL with hearts full of praise:
“We come into Your Presence with thanksgiving in our hearts, and give You praise, we give You praise!
We come into Your Presence with thanksgiving in our hearts, and give You praise, give You praise!
Give glory and honor and power unto Him…Jesus, the name above all names!”
~~~
I just want to praise You, lift my hands say I love You!
You are everything to me…
and I exalt Your holy name…I exalt Your holy name…I exalt Your holy name on high!
~~~
We love you, Lord, and we lift one voice to worship You,
Oh, our souls rejoice!
Take joy, our King, in what You hear.
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in Your ear!
~~~
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah!
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah!
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah!
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah!
~~~
We offered individual praise to the Lord for Who He is and all He has done for us!
Phillip (CA) sang: “To God be the GLORY for the things He has done!”
Lynn (NY) He is faithful
Nancy (FL) Advent begins this next week…and she has enjoyed the words from Handel’s Messiah
(Advent is a period of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus and the return of Jesus at the Second Coming).
Juanele (NC) thanked God for His perfect LOVE that brings us to salvation!
Since we have concluded the “official” DAY of Thanksgiving, it is fitting that those who would like to take time to share what the Lord has done…for, in, and through us during this time! Let’s do so now:
Sally (WY) It was 20 below zero there and three people had frozen to death on the street! Sally volunteered at a local mission, then attended the dinner with the homeless on Wednesday night. Then her “formerly estranged” daughter invited her to dinner, and called her “MOM”, and they all watched a video and took a picture of the family, and this RESTORATION was a “MIRACLE” for her.
Fifi (SC) had no family there to share Thanksgiving with, but when she went to lunch with two friends, (one of which had been resistant to Christ), the woman Christina received Christ and was baptized in the Holy Spirit that day! What a blessing!
Marilyn (KY) She was told by the Lord to keep an open door for her stepdaughter (of 54 years), with which there has been much difficulty in their relationship. They had Thanksgiving dinner at a restaurant, and spent two hours together and had pleasant conversations together, and both enjoyed it! And the young woman wants to get together again…at Christmas! Another MIRACLE! Lord, encourage hearts everywhere, especially those on this call…You are at work and will bring about the restoration of families!
Sally (WY) Tagged onto Marilyn’s prayer: Prepare your hearts! Stand and believe, keep on praying, don’t give up! Be ready for that door to open!
Sheryl (CA) Spent today with her sister, and felt the restoration God was doing in their relationship!
Phillip (CA) Thanking God for their 4 children, 14 grands and 23 great grands…who are all saved. He prayed for all of us to believe for the salvation of our children… and their children… and all our generations!
Linda (CA) You are the “covering” for your families, and you have the right to stand for them before God!
Annie (FL) They gathered at her brother’s home, and she was able to “share” some truth about President Trump with those of them who were not “on his side”. She then prayed for communication in families!
Rhonda (MT) Thanked the 24/7 family for their prayers for Dan, who had successful back surgery! It was an extra special Thanksgiving for them this year!
Debbie (VA) At 2 AM last night, she was awake…and very tired! As she sat in her living room, she thought that for 24,270+ nights she’s had great sleep, and could put up with one without it! Praise GOD!
Donna (MT) this was the 1st year she hasn’t spent Thanksgiving with her 2 biological sons, and instead of being hurt, she chose to WALK IN LOVE and decided to GIVE NO PLACE TO THE ENEMY! She prayed for those in similar situations, and lifted up all who may have not had the Thanksgiving they would have liked, but are still trusting YOU, Lord!
June (MD) Said that she is grateful for these testimonies. Her mother is 99, and she is one of 8 children…with 50 great-grandchildren, and one of the children is an intercessor…who arose and blessed the entire family! Her household and family have an international anointing, and they are in awe of the grace of God as He causes the USA to welcome the nations, and sends our people to other nations (her daughter is in the military in another nation…in Viet Nam.
Susan (GA) Their family Thanksgiving was held last Saturday, so she and her husband had their Thanksgiving yesterday…just the two of them…and they found peace and God’s presence in the quietness of the day!
Yoli (FL) Her son came back to the Lord a few weeks ago…and her heart is OVERJOYED! She prayed for all those families who are waiting for the PRODIGALS to come home, and receive the LOVE that they need…(we invited others in similar situations to pray into that!)
Gloria (NJ) praying for her son to return and that she will be alive to see his return; she prayed and released her brother for the things that he has done to hurt her and others.
Phillip (CA) Linda’s mother came back to the Lord after being apart, one of 5 generations.
Bobby (WI) continues to pray for son and granddaughter who are wayward and don’t go to church
Candace (Canada) Their family was on a journey in the wilderness and moved 82 times; had a Job experience (losing all they had) but trusted God through it all! She reconnected with her 5 siblings, and 3 of them are thankful to reconnect, 2 are not! Our interactions with others tell us about ourselves, and we must follow the Lord no matter what! That will be a testimony to others!
Lynn (NY) prayed for her daughter Christina and all of our children to come back! We pray in agreement with the word from Malachi that God will turn the hearts…let it be so now, Lord!
Pastor Ioan said this sharing has been a SYMPHONY, such beautiful sounds giving GLORY to the Lord!
He shared that in 2004, he was in Jerusalem and praying for the USA. Barbara Byerly was leading the prayer in front of people from over 200 nations! This was the year of the Bush vs Kerry presidential election, and they were praying hard for this nation! The word came that the people of the US must turn around and do His Perfect Will…and they knew that judgment was coming and we saw the results of that in 2008 with Obama. We see the election of Donald Trump as a sign of God’s mercy on this nation…and the sense of the Lord’s return is strong, and he feels that it will be in the generation of his children’s children…and as the Lord heals the families in the US, it will be a sign that revival is coming!
Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.
And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their fathers,
lest I come and strike the earth with a curse.”
Malachi 4: 5-6
Pastor Ioan reminded us that God declared that there would be a climate change in California! He would bring rain and replenish the reservoirs…and redeem the land! He invited us to give thanks to God for all He has done in our nation!
Albert (CA) Thanked God for what He is doing ion CA and for the redemption they have seen and what is to come!
Candace (Canada) Thanked God for the Church arising in America and for how we are responding to God’s grace as we uphold America in prayer! We shared our prayer support for Canada and her restoration.
Ina (MO) Has been with us on the 24/7 for a year, and she thanked God for how the 24/7 had been used to serve God’s purposes in this nation, with one another and how WE HOLD UP OUR PRESIDENT EVERY SINGLE HOUR OF EVERY SINGLE DAY!
Yoli (FL) prayed that the mudslides will end and that the rain will be gentle and the land would absorb it!
Bobby (WI) Praised God for the way He is using the 24/7 prayer in this nation and for the honoring of our prayers!
Mary Ellen (IL) It is amazing to me! What are the chances of so many of us coming together on the 24/7 on such a regular basis? How its expanded and connected with other prayer movements in our nation! I remember going on the call yesterday, and how when I went on, I was needed.
Paul (NY) Thanked God for His mercy to this nation!
Mary Ellen (IL) Thanked God for the 24/7…and how we work together with the Lord to produce the focuses every day.
Maureen shared that she and Pastor Ioan have determined to stand and work together to accomplish what God is calling us to! In order to be effective in our assignment for the 24/7 NSPC, we have chosen to remain one…in heart, mind and spirit…serving God’s purposes. The same goes for the entire 24/7 family…we must all be in submission to the Holy Spirit and in mutual submission to one another. That ONENESS is the key to the success of the 24/7 family...as we remain in His Presence, pursue radical holiness, the unity of the Body and the perfection of love.
Pastor Ioan asked if we are aware of the moments when the Presence of the Lord is in our lives! He noted that the awareness of His Presence increases as we continually commit our lives and energies to HIM! Most of those on this call are “seniors”. He has chosen MATURE saints for this assignment, and He is honored by our service!
~~~~~
“Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ.”
1 Corinthians 11:1
We entered the 3rd hour of our SHABBAT Call tonight…(WOW! The first two flew by with all the gratitude expressed by our 24/7 family). We began to pray for our dear President who set aside his personal time at Thanksgiving to fly to Afghanistan and spend time with our armed forces personnel there! What a father’s heart…and an earthly reflection of our heavenly Father’s love and concern for HIs children!
We prayed in unison for him and then prayed individually:
Cathy )FL) we put our “spiritual shoulders” together on his behalf. We appreciate how he is dealing with the assaults and attacks at this hour, and ask that You continue to help him in all he does!
Yoli (FL) Isaiah 40:31 But those who wait on the Lord Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint.
Becky (FL) heard the word STEADFAST and prayed it over him!
Viviana (NY) The President is showing such a good example! We pray that if there are any in his administration that are acting unrighteously, they will be exposed and removed!
Marci (TX) prayed two verses over the President: “that you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God” Colossians 1:10 and
“for I will give you a mouth and wisdom which all your adversaries will not be able to contradict or resist.” Luke 21:15
Joan (AZ) prayed Psalm 37 over him…
Bobby (WI) reminded us that we were asked to pray for the President whenever he came to mind. Matthew 21:22 “whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” and verse 27 “So they answered Jesus and said, “We do not know.” And He said to them, “Neither will I tell you by what authority I do these things.”
We asked Pastor Ioan to expound on these verses, and He said that if they (who had come as enemies and wanted to trap Him) did not believe in Him, and intended to use it to catch Him in action or blasphemy…so He would not tell them! It was different from the disciples who asked questions, and even with Nicodemus who had a good heart when he questioned Jesus!
We also must have this attitude and heart of Christ…and as we engage in the Battle of the Bride…the Warfare of Love…we understand as the Lord does…and we can operate in LOVE! We are to come to Him as little children, trusting in Him, offering ourselves to Him, with hearts full of love for our nation and our people! As we ask our questions, He delights to answer us!
There have historically been many uprisings, revolutions, coups and other situations that disrupt this world during the month of December, (ie. December 7, 1941 when Pearl Harbor was attacked and on that day, much pain was inflicted on our nation!) We prayed for the revelation of our assignment in this month of December. We asked God to reveal what He wants us to know and to do, to protect this nation at this hour! We declare together, “Hineni! We want to receive Your Word for this nation, for this month of December and the time following. Show us, Lord!” As we ask this…the right question…the anointing is coming upon us! We ask, the anointing comes and we are instructed in what to do!
We prayed corporately into what we have just heard, asking for revelation and understanding of what He desires!
Pastor Ioan said that we are being called to vigilance…to be alert…to those who would use this time of year to inflict harm on our nation! We must be bold and courageous as we are in a war!
He shared these verses:
“I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True.
With justice he judges and wages war. His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns.
He has a name written on him that no one knows but he himself. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood,
and his name is the Word of God. The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Coming out of his mouth is a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations.
“He will rule them with an iron scepter.” He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God Almighty.
On his robe and on his thigh he has this name written:
King of kings and Lord of lords.”
Revelation 19:11-16
Bobby (WI) has realized the value of following the focus…which is being used as a laser beam to highlight issues
Audrey (CA) Do not let up at all…do not give the enemy any opportunity to find a way in! Be diligent and continue in the battle.
Joan (AZ) thought of the verse that says the devil is prowling seeking those he can destroy…he doesn’t take a holiday…and we must not either!
Nancy (FL) we must be in LOCKSTEP…and give the enemy NO chance to break us up! We will be focused and stay on the focus, in lockstep with our brothers and sisters who are praying into the focus every hour of every day!
Jeff (TX) prayed into that!
We took communion together and blessed one another in Jesus’ Name!
With love and blessings to all!
Maureen and Pastor Ioan
