“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, 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 and we cover him with the Blood of Jesus.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their son Barron and each of their 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!
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: 534 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“The heart of the righteous studies how to answer, but the mouth of the wicked pours forth evil.”
Proverbs 15:28
Strategic Focus for Monday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES
The Power of Words!
“For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
Matthew 12:37
Last week, while speaking in the US House of Representatives about the passage of HR 5, the “so called” Equality Act, Speaker of the House and Democrat leader Nancy Pelosi declared that Democrats will no longer be satisfied with mere tolerance of LGBT behavior. “Tolerant?” she said. “That’s a condescending word to me. This is not about tolerance. This is about respect for the LGBTQ community. This is about taking pride.”
Words have power, and the words that Nancy Pelosi chose to articulate her position on HR 5 were intended to not only exercise but enforce that power! As Christians, we must be careful what we come into agreement with, and not be cowed into remaining silent when such outrageous things are foisted upon us!
The “agreement” we see in Genesis 11:1 “Now the whole earth had one language and one speech” is based on one language and common speech, in other words, the people were in agreement and understood each other. Because of this agreement, nothing they planned would be impossible for them. Seeing through their plans and discerning the pride of their hearts, God stepped in and confused their language, so they could not have that agreement! His action was a loving one, for He knew that, good or bad, whatever they would agree upon, they could accomplish. He was saving them from themselves!
We pray:
- Lord, we need Your saving grace at this hour in our nation! “The inmates are running the asylum”, and we need order to be restored and righteousness to reign once more! Touch Your people! Save us, Lord!
Not only do words have power, but God has much to say about words…and He takes us at our word!
“Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
Proverbs 18:21
He who would love life and see good days,
Let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips from speaking deceit.
1 Peter 3:10
“He who guards his mouth preserves his life, But he who opens wide his lips shall have destruction.”
Proverbs 13:3
Look again at Pelosi’s words:
“This is not about tolerance. This is about respect for the LGBTQ community. This is about taking pride.”
She is demanding that we move from tolerance, (where one operates with a maturity that allows the existence of something we don’t necessarily agree with)…to showing respect (or approval for it)…to a point where we take pride in, (or delight in)…LGBTQ behavior! As God’s children, who obey His Word, that’s impossible for us!
We pray:
- We say “NO!” to Pelosi’s demand. We REFUSE to respect or take pride in anything that dishonors God or His law, and we will NOT approve of or validate practices such as homosexuality and perversion!
“Those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart…and they defile a man”
Matthew 15:18
Read the full definitions of these three words:
- Tolerance is the “ability or willingness to put up with something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with; forbearance; an open-mindedness; sympathy; understanding; indulgence.”
- Respect is “a feeling of deep admiration for someone or something elicited by their abilities, qualities, or achievements; esteem; approval; appreciation; awe; honor; reverence.”
- Pride is “a feeling or deep pleasure or satisfaction derived from one’s own achievements, the achievements of those with whom one is closely associated, or from qualities or possessions that are widely admired; gratification; fulfillment; joy, delight.”
Pelosi and HR 5 go far beyond making legislative demands that Americans “respect” LGBT behavior! Its passage would result in the wholesale destruction of our religious freedom, as others would have the ability to “force” us to bow down to their false sense of pride…or face debilitating legal consequences.
We pray:
- For every Democrat in the House of Representatives who voted for this In-Equality Act, and for the eight Republican Representatives who joined them in that vote. Father, forgive them and remove them from the Congress!
Mario Diaz-Balart (FL), Susan Brooks (IN), Elise Stefanik (NY), Tom Reed (NY),
John Katko (NY), Greg Walden (OR), Brian Fitzpatrick (PA), and Will Hurd (TX).
Thank God for those Representatives who saw through this smoke screen of deception and spoke out!
- Representative Doug Collins (R-GA) said: “HR 5 endangers the First Amendment right of every single American because the bill makes no provision for sincerely held religious belief, (and) it will criminalize the fundamental tenets of major world religions.”
- Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC), who, in her opposition to this bill, said, “It is clear in its intent. This bill is a brazen attempt to replace religious liberties with the identity politics of the moment.” She went on to describe today’s vote as a “fevered grasping” and “hysterical clawing at individual Americans who hold personal religious convictions.”
Mat Staver of LIBERTY COUNSEL said: “HR 5 is a bill that pushes the LGBT agenda on all people and targets Christianity in every area of life—including the church. There will be an increase of instances where Christians and others are being punished unless they violate their beliefs in order to comply with such a law. And that is just the beginning of unconstitutional chaos in America…As believers, we cannot sit on the sidelines while those like Pelosi in Congress are in the process of criminalizing our sincerely held religious beliefs.”
This radical HR 5 bill must be turned around and dropped when it reaches the Republican-controlled US Senate. We pray that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) will not even bring the bill up for a vote.
Each of us must sound the alarm about HR 5…and speak out, alerting our family and friends, and informing those in our spheres of influence, calling on believers not to shrink back in the face of criticism, threats or violence. We must each watch for opportunities to speak into and shape the public conversation concerning this bill. There is an old saying: “Put your money where your mouth is!” that is: show by your actions, and not just your words, that you support or believe in something. This challenge is placed before us now! KADIMA!
We pray:
- That believers will rise up and speak up, so that this bill is relegated to the “dustbin of history” and prevented from subverting the Constitution and damaging the future of our great nation!

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for our President and his Administration
Finally, the Trump Administration has an Attorney General who is not intimidated by the left! In an interview with FOX News, Attorney General William Barr said that he is trying to get to the bottom of whether or not “government officials abused their power and put their thumb on the scale” during the early stages of the Russia probe. “I’ve been trying to get answers to the questions and I’ve found that a lot of the answers have been inadequate and some of the explanations I’ve gotten don’t hang together. In a sense I have more questions today than when I first started.”
We pray:
- That AG Barr will keep the pressure on and get the answers he needs to be able to clearly delineate who did what, when and to whom! When that happens, let righteousness be served and justice administered!
- That those who have lied and been found out will have to admit the truth, and President Trump will be fully vindicated as that truth surfaces.
- For healing from the “wounds and battle scars” that the President has received, both seen and unseen, and for a rapid recovery that takes him into and victoriously through the 2020 elections!

TIME DATED PRAYER REQUEST: One of our 24/7 Partners, Michael Griffiths, of California, has been having some health problems over the last couple of months. On Friday, he was diagnosed with a serious life-threatening illness. He has asked that the details be kept private, but he needs serious prayer. Michael is intricately involved in initiatives to transform California and Chris Leeper, his ministry partner, tells us: “I need him and this is clearly an attack from the enemy. However, without God’s intervention, I fear we will lose him.” We say, “NO!” to such a loss, and with one resounding voice, speak LIFE to and over Michael, right now… and every hour throughout this day! AMEN! AMEN!
