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: 548 days until the election!
Let us pray into these verses:
“You that fear the LORD, praise him; all you the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and fear him, all you the seed of Israel. For he has not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither has he hid his face from him; but when he cried to him, he heard.”
Psalm 22:23-24
Strategic Focus for Monday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES
Choose Life
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both you and your seed may live…”
Deuteronomy 30:19
Today we are going to join with PRO-LIFE intercessors across the nation in praying for this very important US Supreme Court case. This material has been sent to us by Allan Parker, our brother in Christ and the President of the Justice Foundation, a Christian law firm, in San Antonio, Texas.
It involves the Indiana Sonogram Law which requires an abortionist to show the woman the sonogram, let her hear the “infant life’s” heartbeat and have the body parts described to her. She must then wait 18 hours before she can have an abortion. The lower court struck down the Indiana law as unconstitutional, while other courts have upheld such laws. This creates a circuit split, meaning the law is constitutional in some states and unconstitutional in others. The Court needs to bring uniformity to the law in favor of sonograms. The case is scheduled to go before the Supreme Court on a private status conference on May 9. On that day they will vote whether to accept and hear the case or not.
The time between now and May 9 is critical. The court is currently reading the briefs, or at least their clerks will be reading them and can summarize the case and the briefs for the Justices or suggest the Justices read key briefs themselves. Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill petitioned the Supreme Court to review the preliminary injunction against the 18-hour ultrasound provision in the 2016 Dignity for the Unborn Act.
Indiana Right to Life President and CEO Mike Fichter gave the following statement: “We applaud Indiana’s appeal to the Supreme Court to reverse the injunction blocking the right of women to see an ultrasound of their unborn babies at least 18 hours prior to an abortion. Since the injunction, abortions in Indiana have spiked compared to the six months when the law was in effect. This isn’t about inconvenience to women, it’s about abortion providers not wanting women to be fully informed about the humanity of their unborn children when making life-or-death decisions. It is remarkable that Planned Parenthood, with a budget exceeding $15 million in Indiana, complained in its suit the law might require them to purchase ultrasound equipment for locations other than its four abortion clinics in the state.”
We pray:
- Lord, please let the Truth about the preciousness of LIFE be known and received in this nation once again!
Indiana’s abortion numbers rose dramatically in 2017 following the blockage of Indiana’s ultrasound law by a female Judge from the US District Court, Tanya Walton Pratt. The increase of 496 abortions in 2017 compared to 2016 marks the first upward swing in abortions in Indiana since 2009, according to the Indiana State Department of Health’s 2017 Induced Terminated Pregnancy Report.
The 2016 Dignity for the Unborn Act signed into law by then-Governor Mike Pence, contained a requirement that any woman seeking an abortion must be given the opportunity to view an ultrasound of her unborn baby at least 18 hours prior to an abortion. The ultrasound provision was challenged by the American Civil Liberties Union and Planned Parenthood in July 2016 but remained in effect until Pratt’s injunction in April 2017.
We pray:
- In thanksgiving for that courageous then-Governor, now our VICE PRESIDENT, MIKE PENCE!
From July through December 2016, after the blockage of the law, abortions spiked to 3,813 in Indiana, a 13 percent increase compared to 2016. A significant portion of the increase was due to a massive 33 percent increase in women from out of state coming to Indiana for abortions, with 296 abortions on out-of-state women in 2017. In total, there were 496 more abortions done in Indiana from July through December 2017 compared to the same period in 2016. When considering the overall annual increase in abortions in 2017 was 498 compared to 2016, the impact of the blockage of Indiana’s ultrasound law is clear.
Indiana Right to Life’s mission is to protect the right to life, especially of unborn children, through positive education, compassionate advocacy and promotion of healthy alternatives to abortion.
Please pray that they read the brief of Operation Outcry, The Justice Foundation and Melinda Thybault, the founder of The Moral Outcry Petition. The Operation Outcry part of the brief includes the names of 4,600 women hurt by abortion and many, many, many testimonies of women hurt by abortion, including women from Indiana. The names of 128,632 signers of The Moral Outcry Petition are also in the brief in Footnote 4. This is a simple informed consent case in which we could achieve a major victory just by allowing informed consent to continue or it could be the case that overturns Roe v. Wade if the Court is ready to go big and bold. But it’s important!
We pray:
- That the Court will take the case and reverse the lower courts, thus letting the sonogram law go into effect.
The Justices’ next conference is Thursday, May 9. We expect orders from that conference to be released on Monday, May 13, at 9:30 a.m. We will let you know their decision as soon as it is announced.
If they do not take this case there are ten to fifteen more cases on their way to the court that could be the one that reverses Roe v. Wade when they are ready. Please keep the Supreme Court in your prayers.
On May 9, the Court will decide for the first time whether to take this case or refuse to hear the case, or relist it for more consideration at a later status conference. You can click here to read all the Briefs in this case. There are nine Friend of the Court Briefs, including The Justice Foundation’s Moral Outcry Brief on behalf of Melinda Thybault and Operation Outcry women. It is somewhat unusual for briefs to be filed at the Cert. Petition phase, but it helps to highlight the importance of the case and to give the Supreme Court more reasons to take the case. Then if they take the case, they will request full briefing, study it more closely and make a decision on the case. That is why we filed the first brief at this time, to encourage the Court to take the case and reverse the decisions below. If the Court takes the case, full briefing will be due in the Summer. We would file another brief that makes all five arguments under The Moral Outcry Petition.
We pray for:
1. A new Argument that Abortion is a Crime Against Humanity which constitutes very severe criticism.
2. New scientific evidence (since 1973) shows Life Begins at Conception.
3. New evidence shows Abortion Hurts Women.
4. A better alternative to abortion– a massive “change in circumstances”- Safe Haven Laws.
5. A million people are waiting to Adopt Healthy Newborn Infants
Then the Court would probably hear the case in the Fall and decide it by June 2020. Yes, the wheels of justice move slowly, but now is a critical time for prayer.
We pray:
- That the case will receive special attention and that all the Justices will read all the briefs in the case.
- That the testimonies of Operation Outcry Women Hurt by Abortion be read and will impact the Court,
as they have in the past in Gonzales v. Carhart.
- For courage for the Justices to do the right thing.

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for the Mass Media in our Nation
A huge, pro-life display that demonstrates the value of unborn babies will be featured in one of America’s most iconic places this weekend: Times Square in New York City.
Sponsored by Focus on the Family, “Alive From New York” will show a live, 4D ultrasound of an unborn baby in the center of Times Square for thousands to see. “They say a picture is worth a thousand words. Well, the picture of a baby is actually of inestimable worth.” Through the event, the pro-life organization hopes to inspire people to push back against the state’s radical new pro-abortion law, recognizing abortion as a “fundamental human right.”
We pray:
- That the positive, life-affirming ultrasound display will help people realize that every baby deserves to be protected under the law.
- That the truth will be so powerful, that abortion activists cannot argue with a real-life image of a baby in his or her mother’s womb. and they will see that it is a precious, valuable child!
