May 10, 2024 – Notes Shabbat Call
05-10-24 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
Ps Ioan opened us in prayer and joyfully blessed all of us as we came on the line! Maureen shared that the words
“Strength will rise as we wait upon the Lord!” were resonating in her spirit as we began this SHABBAT CALL! We are in a WAR and need times of refreshing in the Lord’s Presence in order to continue to engage the enemy and see the promised VICTORY unfold! HalleluYah!
Ps Ioan led us in praying to receive the Ephesians 6 “armor of God” as we engage in the BATTLE OF THE BRIDE…A WARFARE OF LOVE on behalf of our beloved nation!
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”
Ephesians 6:10-18
Ps Ioan shared that as we welcome and receive God’s armor, we are receiving HIM. We prayed to honor Him as we wear it with the dignity it deserves!
~~~
We were regaled by Ps Ioan as he shared about how he has been working on our 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call web page. He has been in the process of uploading all of our focuses, from when we began the call on November 11, 2016. A MAJOR TASK! As of now, he is working on the documents for the 2016-2017 season…and God willing, it will soon be completed! A TRUE HISTORY of what has taken place over 7 1/2 years!
He also noted that many who were with us in the first months of the call are still on the line praying with us today!
Others have graduated and are praying for us in heaven! We invited participants to take time to go to the website and enjoy reviewing our shared history! It is wonderful!
He shared about the wonder of encountering the GLORY OF GOD – “KABOD” – Isaiah 6:3 and as well, about coming unworthily into the Presence of God and being killed – “KABAD.”
Marsha (CA) remembers when we began the call, and asked how we shared the information while on the call? GOOGLE DOCS…which allows us to be on the same doc and see it at the same time! She shared about meeting a man who is with ALPHA in the USA, who travels back and forth to England. He told her God is on the move there…as young people are flooding into the churches!

Fighting for unity in the Republican Party: A motion to remove U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson was resoundingly tabled by a coalition of Democrats and Republicans with a final vote of 359-43 Wednesday.
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) moved to vacate the office of Speaker of the U.S. House of Representatives after previously signaling a softening posture toward the Speaker. If supported by a majority of the chamber, its passage would have removed Johnson and created a leadership vacancy atop the House GOP.
In contrast to when she originally filed her motion in March, Greene submitted her motion as “privileged”. The parliamentary status of the motion forced the House to vote on it within two legislative days. GOP leadership previously signaled that they would vote to table Greene’s motion immediately. Leaders in the House’s Democratic Party minority planned to table Greene’s motion, protecting Johnson from an ouster.
Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) and Rep. Paul Gosar (R-AZ) joined Greene’s motion as co-sponsors. A handful of other Republicans said they would support Greene’s efforts if the Republican party could find a replacement candidate.
Greene and others among the most conservative GOP members of Congress have criticized Johnson as failing to secure conservative wins and promote order according to the House rules. Greene believes Johnson’s track record contradicts promises he made at the outset of his speakership. In a letter published last month, Greene cited a lack of action on government spending and border security. She characterized his leadership as a complete surrender to the Democrats’ agenda. Most recently, Greene and other like-minded lawmakers condemned Johnson’s efforts to pass a package of foreign military aid without first addressing the security of the U.S. southern border.
The motion was expected to turn on Democrats. The Republicans who opposed Johnson on their own didn’t have the votes to reach a needed majority of the chamber. Late last month, Democratic leadership in the House encouraged their party to block Greene’s motion.
Last October, a group of eight Republicans, led by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), voted with Democrats to remove Johnson’s predecessor, Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA). His removal led to almost a month of inner turmoil as the GOP struggled to unite around a replacement, eventually settling on Johnson after considering more than 10 other candidates.

Statement by President Trump:
“I absolutely love Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s got Spirit, she’s got Fight, and I believe she’ll be around, and on our side, for a long time to come. However, right now, Republicans have to be fighting the Radical Left Democrats, and all the Damage they have done to our Country. With a Majority of One, shortly growing to three or four, we’re not in a position of voting on a Motion to Vacate. At some point, we may very well be, but this is not the time. We are leading in the Presidential Polls by a lot, both Nationally and in the Swing States. Likewise, we are doing well in the Senate, and I believe will do well in the House. But if we show DISUNITY, which will be portrayed as CHAOS, it will negatively affect everything! Mike Johnson is a good man who is trying very hard. I also wish certain things were done over the last period of two months, but we will get them done, together. It is my request that Republicans vote for “THE MOTION TO TABLE.” We WILL WIN BIG – AND IT WILL BE SOON!”
We prayed into this matter, and agreed to align with President Trump’s suggestion, calling for unity of the GOP!

GOP Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) made a surprise visit to the NYC courtroom to show support for President Trump yesterday. Fmr NY Judge Jeanine Perrio (now a FOX host), along with other notables, came to encourage the President during this time of persecution/prosecution!
Statement by President Trump:
“It is a really bad feeling to have your Constitutional Right to Free Speech, such a big part of life in our Country, so unfairly taken from you, especially when all of the sleazebags, lowlifes, and grifters that you oppose are allowed to say absolutely anything that they want. It is hard to sit back and listen to lies and false statements being made against you knowing that if you respond, even in the most modest fashion, you are told by a Corrupt and Highly Conflicted Judge that you will be PUT IN PRISON, maybe for a long period of time. This Fascist mindset is all coming from DC. It is a sophisticated hit job on Crooked Joe Biden’s Political Opponent, ME! Judges Engoron and Kaplan, also of New York, are equally Corrupt, only in different ways. What these THUGS are doing is AN ATTACK ON THE REPUBLICAN PARTY, AND OUR ONCE GREAT NATION ITSELF. OUR FIRST AMENDMENT MUST STAND, FREE AND STRONG. “GIVE ME LIBERTY OR GIVE ME DEATH!’”
~~~
President Trump dropped this truth bomb that is obvious to anyone paying attention,
the far left today is a “bigger danger” to the country than even Russia or China.
Statement from President Trump: “Thank you very much. What Biden is doing with respect to Israel is disgraceful. If any Jewish person voted for Joe Biden, they should be ashamed of themselves. He’s totally abandoned Israel, and nobody can believe it. I guess he feels good about it because he did it as a political decision. You have to do the right decision, not the political decision. But he did a very bad thing. I just want to let you know that we’ve just filed a major motion in the Appellate Division concerning the absolutely unconstitutional gag order, where I’m essentially not allowed to talk to you about anything meaningful that’s going on in the case. And many good things are going on with the case. It shouldn’t have been filed. They had this morning the top legal scholars in the country. This is a Frankenstein case. They took a dead misdemeanor, attached it to a dead alleged federal felony and zapped it back into life.
Quoting others’ statements, President Trump said:
Jonathan Turley; “So many of us are just amazed to watch this actually walk into court because it’s not a recognizable crime that any of us have seen.”
Alan Dershowitz: “I’ve been doing this for 60 years, and I don’t understand what crime he’s been charged with. Nobody understands this. I just don’t get the crime. There’s no evidence of any crime whatsoever.”
This is a shame…, and these are people that speak their minds. They’re not for me. They’re for justice.
This is another one.
“This is without precedent in American history. Only with the desperation of Joe Biden and his fanatic left-wing enforcers did it become possible to think about arresting and jailing their major political opponent.”
This case must be taken out of Judge Merchan’s head because it’s totally conflicted, like probably no judge has ever been conflicted before.
Here’s another one made by Andrew McCarthy:
Manhattan DA, Alvin Bragg’s prosecution of former President Donald Trump violates both the federal and state constitutions. This is a prosecutor making it up as he goes along. Due process – does not tolerate that.”
And a statement by Rebecca Rose
“A judge is allowing a wide scope of information that has absolutely nothing to do with the case.”
“Today, we have Senator Rick Scott here. We have other politicians and many people in support. The outside of this building is closed down, like Fort Knox…like nobody’s ever seen. We have so many police down here, New York’s finest, and they’re just told what to do. But they don’t have them at Columbia, they don’t have them at NYU or any other places. This is like an armed camp down here.
And you have nothing to worry about. Believe me, your problem is from the left. It’s not from the right. Big problem from the left. It’s from within, from within our country. That’s, in my opinion, a bigger danger than China or Russia. You have it from the outside and you have it from within. From within is a bigger danger to our country, and it’s from the left, not from the right.
But Rick Scott’s here, and he said, You can’t go after political persecutions. This is shameful. This should not be happening in our country.” Senator Ted Cruz put out a very strong statement about attacking Donald Trump and the American voter. It’s an attack on both. This is purely and simply election interference. There is no case. So that’s the way it is. But here we sit, after two and a half weeks, and I think you’ll see some very revealing things today.
I want to thank my lawyers. They’ve done a very good job, and I’d rather thank them after it’s over as opposed to now because we don’t want them to get carried away. There’s no case. It should have never been brought. Alvin Bragg didn’t want to bring it. Cy Vance didn’t want to bring it, and he didn’t. He left, he didn’t bring it. Everybody’s looked at it. Southern district didn’t bring it. Federal elections didn’t bring it. It’s also a federal case, not a state case, which they’re not allowed to do, but these are minor details. I just want to thank you for being here, and we’ll see you later in the afternoon. Thank you very much.“

COMPLETE LAWLESSNESS: Judge Merchan REFUSES to Allow President Trump to Refute Stormy Daniels’ Incredulous Attacks – Maintains Illegal Gag Order – WHERE ARE THE REPUBLICANS?
For the past three days, porn star Stormy Daniels and liberal Biden-connected prosecutors have run wild with the leftist media in attacks on President Trump in a lawsuit that should have never been allowed in a case with an undefined crime. The particularly crooked New York Judge Juan Merchan has ordered President Trump to remain silent as the media and Democrats spin lie after lie against his record and character.
This is how free societies die. Just as shocking as the Democrat party’s lawlessness is the Republican party’s total avoidance of confronting these vicious political acts. We all know this lawlessness cannot continue, yet Republicans remain too weak to raise their voices with the rare exception of the courageous few who are shunned by their own party elites.
On Thursday. the media continued their toxic reports on Trump and porn star Stormy Daniels, an opportunist who owes President Trump around $500,000 for court costs that she refuses to pay – a crime in itself. The Trump team requested Judge Merchan lift the unconstitutional gag order on President Trump, but Merchan refused.
Dana Perino at FOX News reported: Just moments ago, the judge denied his lawyer’s motion to modify the gag order, which would have allowed Trump to respond to Stormy Daniels. Right now, his team is arguing for the judge to declare a mistrial. It comes as Stormy Daniels wrapped up over seven hours on the stand. Trump’s lawyer is hammering away at Stormy’s credibility, poking holes in her story and drilling her about attempts to make money off of her alleged affair with Trump. The defense showing off this $40 ‘Saint of Indictments’ devotional candle. They claimed she was selling on her website, which shows Daniels draped in a Christ-like robe. Stormy not denying she made bank, admitting she has to pay her legal bills to the tune of half a million dollars that she owes to the former President. Then Stormy got “supernatural”, a bizarre moment when the defense grilled Daniel’s work as “Paranormal Investigator,” asking about a show where she said she can talk to dead people and lived in a house she believed to be haunted…but it turned out to just be a giant possum.
We prayed corporately for our President and sought God’s intervention for him, in whatever way necessary! So many evil things are happening, yet he is standing strong…again, may his strength arise as he waits upon the Lord!
Mary Ellen (IL) our hearts break for President Trump as he is going through all this. She prayed against any impact from the spirits operating on Stormy Daniels that might affect the jurors’ decisions. Let the Judge bow down to the Lord,
Bev (MT) shared Psalm 35:4-8 “Let those be put to shame and brought to dishonor Who seek after my life; Let those be turned back and brought to confusion who plot my hurt. Let them be like chaff before the wind, And let the angel of the Lord chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery, and let the angel of the Lord pursue them. For without cause they have hidden their net for me in a pit, which they have dug without cause for my life. Let destruction come upon him unexpectedly, and let his net that he has hidden catch himself; into that very destruction let him fall.”
Nancy (WA) there are so many being tested as this trial goes on…we are being examined by You, Lord, and we have failed so badly. No one is talking about the lawlessness…we are not hearing condemnation of it from the pulpits. Only TRUTH can stand Your examination. We cry out to You; we are desperate! Save us! President Trump is an innocent man…he must NOT be treated like this!

Our J6 brother Frank Dahlquist (MT) joined us for the 2nd time last Friday to share about “answered prayer” after he was on his 1st Shabbat Call with us. He told us that he still needs employment, but people wouldn’t hire him. He needs an income to cover their costs of living. We prayed for Frank and his family, for protection and provision and that he would be completely exonerated and compensated. We invited Frank to return with an update, and he joins us again tonight to update us further!
He can’t “talk” about the case, which is in the pre-trial stage, but his atty has been given access to discovery. He will be traveling to TX to get that info and needs to be with his atty to see it. It can not be shared publicly. He shared that recently, over 300 people have had the charges dropped against them.
He said that when he was baptized, he received Isaiah 6:5-9 So I said: “Woe is me, for I am undone! Because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, The Lord of hosts.” Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a live coal which he had taken with the tongs from the altar. And he touched my mouth with it, and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; Your iniquity is taken away, And your sin purged. ”Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”
He shared his journey from childhood, going to an AG Church, dropping out as a teen, then having issues with his dad. He desired to be a police officer; but when he didn’t put the abuse situation he endured with his dad on the application form, he was not selected. He had joined a volunteer fire department, and then, one day, while driving with his wife, he had an overwhelming sense: “BE READY!” He noted that as they passed mile marker 221, he went through a process of preparing himself for what he would see. Suddenly, they came upon a wreck…a cross-over head-on accident with a family of 5…(3 still in the car seats, two children thrown out on the ground screaming.) One child was dead, as was the driver of the other car, who was in the middle of the road, having been run over and killed. When a firefighter “called it” and draped the back seat with a sheet, he stepped up and said: “That child is still alive!” Then they got that child out!
As he went back to his own car, his wife had seen it all! He had done things that he had never done before!, and she said he looked as if he knew what he was doing! After so many years of ignoring God’s will, he realized that GOD WAS WORKING THROUGH HIM! So he found his calling, went to the fire academy for 10 weeks and the doors to work as a fireman opened wide! He was hired (as a newbie, on probation) by the City of Seattle. One of his first calls was a man on fire, a Chinese exchange student. That was the beginning of gaining a reputation for being a “black cloud” (one who deals with fatalities).
We paused as we do nightly, to pray for the J6ers just before 9 PM.
Then, in solidarity with the J6ers, we joined in singing the National Anthem.
We noted that another J6 defendant, David Homol, 55, died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head on April 17. David was arrested by Biden’s FBI Gestapo agents in January 2024 – 3 years after the Capitol protest – and hit with 8 charges. He is at least the 5th J6 defendant to commit suicide after being indicted by Biden’s DOJ.
Update on Protest in NYC on behalf of Jake Lang from Desiree (NY), who wrote: We arrived in front of the prison at 12:30 PM. There was a small group and we could feel the resistance in the atmosphere. We took authority over the air and ground and began to pray and lift up the Name of Jesus. I began to SHOUT… JAKE LANG YOU ARE NOT ALONE. WE ARE HERE WITH YOU! WE ARE HERE WITH YOU! The inmates who were playing basketball got very quiet as if listening as we sang the Star Spangled Banner and God Bless America. I shared how Brooklyn saved the day with Almighty God on August 1, 1776, when the British attempted to take back the colonies God released a fog covering the entire Brooklyn basin as George Washington moved his men and women out in schooners at midnight. The British thought the Yankees had made camp for the night, but the young Americans were making their way to Staten Island and on to New Jersey. In the morning, the fog was so thick the British couldn’t see anything. and then the sun burned off the fog and there was NO wind for the British sails to move! This is the God we serve and He does all things well! At the end of our time together, we prayed for everyone and the community. May God keep Jake Lang and all J6ers safe Jake’s father told us a number of lawsuits have been filed for the abuses being perpetrated against his son. Pray for all who came to take a stand for freedom. No backlash, no retaliation.
We resumed with Frank’s sharing…He told us that while on a specific call, he laid hands on an injured child and prayed…and everyone around them was stunned. As he drove home, he called his sister, from whom he’d been estranged from him for years, and they reconciled. As his career progressed, at 8 years, he decided to try to promote! He prayed on it, and decided that he first needed to be baptized…in his firefighters uniform! He and his wife were baptized together. Then he took the multi-phase tests to promote, and was # 1 out of 17 candidates! A few years later, when the Captain’s test came up, he wound up being # 1 again.
When COVID came up, he was the Grievance Chair for the Christian firefighters group, who refused the vax. He stood steadfast, and he, along with over 200 firefighters in King CO (outside of Seattle), was terminated. He was at a rally with 5K people and was the final speaker. He met a lady who had a fire restoration company, and she offered him a job! He went on stage to speak and shared that God had opened another door. (The CEO flew up from CA and hired him.) He said his family was blessed because they live a humble life…and give to and help others.
Then, they were in WA state…and unemployed. He called a local fire chief and shared his story…who shared a story of his own faith with Frank. They recognized the mutual support God had provided. He and his wife were feeling that they needed to leave WA, but he felt he couldn’t walk away from the 500 firefighters they served. Then he got a call from MT, and having roots in the area, he put in an application for the local volunteer fire department. He got a call, and moved to MT, and what a blessing it was for the time he had it. Now…he is waiting on the Lord!
Ps Ioan asked Frank what his focus was as he responded to these situations. Frank said as they are en route to a call, they get updates so they can know what to expect. He now prays as he is going to the scene…that God guides them as they work to get people out alive! It is a calling…not just a job! Being an expert in the craft led to a confidence that God would be with them as they dealt with it.
Another question was asked: Did you ever ask why God let the accident happen…why He allowed you to save some and not others? In those moments, you don’t know, but you stand on faith and trust that God has this. Even now, I trust that my family will be taken care of. There is a tragedy in our lives, but with Him, we are secure.
We recognize that we have so many HEROES in this nation…PTL! As the nation is on fire, there are those who are willing to run to the flames and rescue others! We prayed for firefighters across the nation and we offered individual prayers for Frank and his family…as he is facing a corrupted judicial system that is persecuting him and so many other J6ers! We will continue to pray that he will be set free and compensated for the injustice he has suffered!

Barron Trump, 18, will make his political debut, potentially as a Florida delegate to the Republican convention. President Donald Trump’s youngest son, Barron Trump, has been chosen to serve as a Florida delegate to the Republican National Convention, the state party chairman said Wednesday.
Republican Party of Florida chairman Evan Power said the 18-year-old high school senior was chosen to serve as one of 41 at-large delegates from Florida to the national gathering, where the GOP is set to officially nominate his father as its presidential candidate for the November general election.
Barron Trump has been largely kept out of the public eye, but he turned 18 in March and is graduating from high school next week. (The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s hush money trial in New York said there would be no court on May 17 so that Trump could attend his son’s graduation.) Donald Trump, Jr, Eric Trump and Trump’s youngest daughter, Tiffany, are also part of the Florida delegation to the convention taking place in Milwaukee from July 15 to July 18.
In response to Barron’s selection as an at-large delegate, Trump stated, “To me, it’s very cute because he’s a very young guy, and he’s graduating from high school this year. He’s very smart. I think that’s great and interesting too. He’s pretty young…If they can do that, I’m all for it, and knowing him, he will probably be for it too.”
Friday, the office of First Lady Melania Trump said her son would be passing on the opportunity. “While Barron is honored to have been chosen as a delegate by the Florida Republican Party, he regretfully declines to participate, due to prior commitments.”
We all prayed for Barron and the Trump family!
Maureen prayed that whether he is a delegate or not, we know he’s in his dad’s corner and will proudly be at his side the night he receives his nomination as the GOP’s 2024 Presidential Candidate!
Ps Ioan prayed for Melania for her wonderful mothering, and reiterated his desire for her to have a face to face encounter with You, Lord!
~~~
Nancy (WA) and Rhonda (MT) led us as we shared in communion. Nancy blew the shofar over the call and the nation, and Maureen thanked God for the strength and joy we have shared tonight on the call! Frank shared a closing verse from 2 Peter and then we closed the SHABBAT CALL singing “SHABBAT SHALOM!” and wishing all a HAPPY MOTHERS’ DAY!
With our love and blessings.
Maureen and Pastor Ioan
