Thursday, August 1, 2019 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 #
We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call.
In taking measures to protect and defend our 24/7 family, at the top of every hour,
the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss, then pray a shield of protection over this line and our 24/7 family!
*The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly for the safety and security of our President Donald John Trump and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for our President’s protection, cover him with the Blood of Jesus,
and pray that he will not respond to any provocation to go to war with Iran or any other nation!
We bless our First Lady, Melania and their marriage. We bless their son Barron and family members.
We cover our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those serving in this Administration.
We also bless the members of the Federal Reserve Board along with those who are part of our nation’s banking system which impacts our economy! May Jerome H. Powell, Richard H. Clarida,
Randal K. Quarles, Michelle W. Bowman, and Lael Brainard serve with integrity and honor!
We pray for all those on the front lines of the LIFE battle, particularly Cindy Collins, Allan Parker, Alveda King, our Governors, our State Legislators, the Supreme Court, our President,
and all those who have been conceived in rape or through incest or are abortion survivors!
Let healing come to all who have been affected by the sin of abortion!
The 24/7 NSPC is calling the Body of Christ nationwide to pray for the 2020 National Elections,
mobilizing intercessors and positioning ourselves in prayer before the Lord
on behalf of our President and nation!
COUNTDOWN: 461 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“To the pure all things are pure, but to those who are defiled and unbelieving, nothing is pure; even their mind and conscience are defiled. They profess to know God, but in works they deny Him, being abominable, disobedient, and disqualified for every good work.”
Titus 1:15-16
SPECIAL NOTICE! Psalm 133 in action! Sara Ballenger has invited the 24/7 NSPC to stand in solidarity with the Capitol Hill Prayer Partners from August 1st-17th, upholding prayer for our nation during the NIGHTWATCH (from 12 midnight to 6 AM.) As we join together at 12 AM today, our focus and protocols will remain the same, and we will visibly model unity and partnership in prayer in the Body of Christ that the Lord desires. We look forward to serving with CHPP in blessing this nation during the next 2 weeks!
Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Afterglow to our Prayer and Fasting for the Federal Reserve Board Meetings
“The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.”
James 5:16
At 2 PM ET yesterday, we received an ANSWER to PRAYER! The Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) of the FED, meeting in DC for the past two days, voted to cut the discount rate by .25 (¼ of 1%)…the first cut in over a decade! They also repeated a pledge to “act as appropriate to sustain the expansion”… wording that the financial markets have interpreted as a signal of possible future rate cuts. This is the first rate cut since December 2008 during the depths of the Great Recession, when the FED slashed its rate to a record low near zero and kept it there until 2015. Soon after the FED issued its statement at 2 PM ET, stocks “tumbled” then began to rise again!
President Trump had called for a “large” rate cut; nevertheless, stock-market investors who live by the age-old adage of “Don’t fight the FED” are celebrating, because the last 5 times the FED cut the rate while the economy was expanding, the S&P 500 gained an average of 11.1 % over the next six months and 15.8 % over the next year.
We pray:
- “Step by step”, we will move forward (KADIMA!) and get to the place we need to be! We thank God for what took place in these meetings and ask that as we pray for the members of the FOMC, that they will align more and more with God’s plans for this nation and our President’s leadership!
The economy is far healthier now despite risks to what’s become the longest expansion on record. This rate cut today caused the central bank to reduce its benchmark rate by .25 (a quarter-point), to a range of 2% to 2.25%. This will affect many loans for households and businesses. Investors were disappointed that Powell declined to say that the FED envisions multiple rate cuts in the future!
In addition to its rate cut, the FED also said it would buy securities, releasing more money into the economy, and stop “shrinking” its enormous bond portfolio in August, (two months earlier than planned). This will avoid pressure on long-term borrowing rates. The FED had aggressively bought Treasury and mortgage bonds after the financial crisis to drive down long-term rates but had been gradually shrinking its balance sheet as the economy strengthened.
We pray:
- In thanksgiving for the economy strengthening daily, and for the expansion we are experiencing! We ask God to protect it and continue to grow it, that it might be a blessing to our citizens and to the nations of the world, as we prepare for and approach the end times harvest we know is coming!
So the FED has decided that a rate cut now… and possibly one or more additional cuts to follow…could provide a kind of insurance policy against an economic downturn. Lowering its key short-term rate could encourage borrowing and spending and energize growth. Wall Street has welcomed that prospect…as we have seen a stock market rally since the start of the year. Compare today with when the FED previously cut rates a decade ago, and thank God for these blessings we are now experiencing.
We pray:
- For a continued expanding economy…which is now solid…and well on its way to “spectacular”.
- For consumers to continue to “nurture” the economy by wise spending.
- For our unemployment to continue to decrease, as we thank God it the lowest in almost 50 years!
- In gratitude for economic wisdom, protection and security!
The FED’s action Wednesday was approved 8-2 vote, with two dissenters who wanted to keep rates unchanged. We bless these FED / FOMC Committee Members who met in DC and voted to lower rates. As each name is called out by the facilitator, we will respond: “Lord, bless him / her!”
- Jerome H. Powell, Board of Governors, Chairman
- John C. Williams, New York, Vice Chairman, president of the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
- Michelle W. Bowman, Board of Governors
- Lael Brainard, Board of Governors
- James Bullard, St. Louis Reserve Bank president
- Richard H. Clarida, Board of Governors
- Charles L. Evans, Chicago Reserve Bank president
- Randal K. Quarles, Board of Governors
We also pray for the two who dissented, not wanting the rate lowered.
- Esther L. George, Kansas City Reserve Bank president
- Eric Rosengren, Boston Reserve Bank president
We pray:
- That the forces behind those NO votes be bound and cast into the abyss, so that Powell will not face any opposition if he seeks decides to further rate cuts this year.
- that when the FED meets in September, that the members of the FOMC will have even more compelling reasons to lower the rates, and will be in agreement to do so again!

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for our President and his Administration
With this federal discount cut behind us, the President and Vice President can move forward together (KADIMA!) with greater ease, knowing that with its shackles taken off, the economy can finally “breathe”, grow and expand!
We pray:
- For these two great leaders, our President and Vice President, to experience a sense of relief that allows them room to maneuver with the trade agreements and other government business that might have had undue limitations due to the previous FED rate!
