Apr 15, 2019 – Prayer Focus

Monday, April 15, 2019 – 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. 

We are taking measures to protect and defend our 24/7 family and this call. 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 the call 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: 569 days until the election! 

Let us pray into this verse: 

 “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.”

John 14:14

Strategic Focus for Monday 

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES 

The Way, the Truth, and the Life

“I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”

John 14:6

We emerge from the Palm Sunday triumphal entry of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ as He entered the city of Jerusalem, accompanied by the shouts of the people rejoicing! HOSANNA! SAVE US! We now move forward (KADIMA!) into what is referred to as Passion Week, the time we remember His intimate time with His disciples at Passover, their “Last Supper” with Him. We remember how He spoke with them and comforted them. Today, as part of our “heart preparation” for WELCOMING THE KING OF GLORY INTO HOUSTON TEXAS this weekend, let us read through the 14th chapter of the gospel of John together, and then pray into what it is speaking to our hearts right now! 

“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”

You only prepare a place for someone if you are confident of their arrival. Jesus could only say this to the group after Judas had left. He would not go to prepare a place for Judas – at least not a place in His Father’s house. The entire focus of heaven is being reunited with Jesus. Heaven is heaven not because of streets of gold, or pearly gates, or even the presence of angels. Heaven is heaven because Jesus is there. 

Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”

Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me. If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also; and from now on you know Him and have seen Him.”

In light of soon events, this declaration is a paradox. Jesus’ way would be the cross; He would be convicted by blatant liars; His body would soon lie lifeless in a tomb. Because He took that way, He is the way to God; because He did not contest the lies we can believe He is the truth; because He was willing to die He becomes the channel of resurrection – the life to us.

Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works. Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the sake of the works themselves.

Jesus’ gentle rebuke might well be spoken to many church-goers today. After all our time with Jesus, do we really know Jesus?

 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

True prayer in Jesus’ name always has the goal that the Father may be glorified in the Son. Since that was Jesus’ passion, to pray in the name of Jesus means the prayer will have the same passion. Surely, this is prayer God will answer!

“If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.

The word “another” is the ancient Greek word “allen,” meaning “another of the same kind” not another of a different kind. Just as Jesus shows the nature of God the Father, so the Holy Spirit – being “another of the same kind” – will show the nature of Jesus.

 “A little while longer and the world will see Me no more, but you will see Me. Because I live, you will live also. At that day you will know that I am in My Father, and you in Me, and I in you. He who has My commandments and keeps them, it is he who loves Me. And he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and manifest Myself to him.”

Judas (not Iscariot) said to Him, “Lord, how is it that You will manifest Yourself to us, and not to the world?”

Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home with him. He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine but the Father’s who sent Me.

Trusting, loving and obeying Jesus are all dependent on each other. If we love Jesus, it will be shown in a genuine love for His word – and not a love that just admires His word, but obeys it – keeps His word.

These things I have spoken to you while being present with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you. Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid. You have heard Me say to you, ‘I am going away and coming back to you.’ If you loved Me, you would rejoice because I said, ‘I am going to the Father,’ for My Father is greater than I.

Jesus had no fortune to bequeath His followers, but He gives them gifts that can’t be bought – the presence of the Holy Spirit and the presence of peace. How many defeated lives would buy the power of the Holy Spirit if they could? How many distraught souls would buy the peace of Jesus? These can’t be bought, but Jesus gives them as gifts to His people.

And now I have told you before it comes, that when it does come to pass, you may believe. I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me. But that the world may know that I love the Father, and as the Father gave Me commandment, so I do. Arise, let us go from here.”

What an amazing statement! Jesus declares that Satan has absolutely no hook, no foothold, no toehold of deception in Him. Satan isn’t pushing Jesus to the cross. Jesus goes in loving obedience to God the Father, and out of love for fallen humanity.

After you finish sharing your thoughts and reflections on the above chapter of John, bring this part of the focus to a close by praying together…

We pray:

• Father, we rejoice in the reading of Your Word! We thank You for giving us Your Son, Jesus, as our Savior and we acknowledge Him and his sacrifice for us. He is our Lord! 
• We welcome the Holy Spirit, Whom Jesus promised to send as our Helper, our Comforter. Touch us now, Spirit of God, and conform us to the image of Jesus! 
• Jesus, you are the KING OF GLORY, and we welcome You anew into our lives! MARANATHA! Come!
• “No Collusion, No Obstruction, Complete and Total EXONERATION,” President Trump wrote on Twitter that day. We thank God that our President is vindicated against his enemies, who tried to portray him as a Judas! He is NOT! He has a place in the Father’s house!

Specific Prayer Topic for Today

Praying for our Supreme Court and the Judicial System

We close today’s focus with a prayer for our US Supreme Court…which sits at the top of another “system”… our Judicial System. As we have prayed for those on the FED to be free to operate according to their Godly informed consciences, we will also pray for our SCOTUS Justices…and all Judges within our Judicial System, in courts at all levels: 

We pray:

• May their hearts and minds be guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit, so that they will judge justly and honor God and our Constitution in all their rulings and court proceedings!
• That they will be protected from manipulation, bribery, political persuasion and free from personal ambition, so they can do their work as unto the Lord, and receive His reward!
