Thursday, October 17, 2024 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 # (Ongoing call…24 hours a day!)
We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never fails.”
1 Corinthians 13:4-8
We sing: One Thing Remains (Your Love Never Fails)
Higher than the mountains that I face, stronger than the power of the grave,
constant through the trial and the change…one thing remains…yes, one thing remains:
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me!
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me!
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me!
Because on and on, and on, and on it goes, before it overwhelms and satisfies my soul
And I never, ever, have to be afraid…one thing remains…yes, one thing remains:
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me!
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me!
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me!
In death, in life, I’m confident and covered by the power of Your great love.
My debt is paid, there’s nothing that can separate my heart from Your great love!
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me!
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me!
Your love never fails, it never gives up, it never runs out on me!
It never runs out on me!

For us to receive and put on the Ephesians 6 “full armor of God” as we begin this hour,
that we might be protected as we stand in the gap for our country!
Pray.
The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, his restoration to his rightful office, and that he is led by the Holy Spirit
so that he will discern truth and act for the good of the nation.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage and family, and cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For all those working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!
Let those leaders that God anoints and appoints
take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump.
During the final 50 days before the election, we are standing
in FAITH AND HOPE AND OBEDIENCE TO OUR CALLING…
trusting that he will be alive on November 5th!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 862
The Righteous Return of President Trump to the White House! – Part 762
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:37-39
Longtime strategists know that a predictor of how Democrats will do in the upcoming election is the evangelical vote…or, as the 2024 numbers warn, the lack thereof. According to some truly shocking statistics from George Barna at Arizona Christian University (ACU), as many as 41 million Christians plan to sit this election out — more than enough to hand the country’s keys to the eager and radical Left. News that one of the Dems’ biggest obstacles to victory is voluntarily shirking their civic duty is cause for premature celebration. That 41 million self-described born-again Christians are “unlikely” to vote in the November election, spells disaster. Len Munsil, president of ACU said: “I see two huge takeaways from this blockbuster report: First, that Christians could be the deciding factor in a bunch of federal and state races — and are choosing not to be. And second, that they are longing for their local church to instruct them on how to think biblically about policy and politics. They don’t want to be told how to vote. but they do want to know why they should vote and how to view political issues from a biblical framework.” When Christians were asked to explain their complacency, 68% replied they aren’t interested in politics, 57% disliked both presidential candidates, 52% believed their vote won’t make a difference, and 48% worry that the election results will be manipulated…a sad sign of where we are as a country. FRC President Tony Perkins contends that this passivity involves a lot more than the White House. There are “much more important decisions than the presidency on the state and local ballot. Control of the House and Senate hangs in the balance. Governors, state attorneys general, local school boards, even comptrollers are amassing major victories in protecting children from radical gender ideology, pushing back on corporate America’s woke agenda, fighting the Biden administration’s lawless overreach, and passing sweeping pro-life and pro-parent laws. While we might not have the ideal situation at the top of the ballot, Americans have several other issues to be mindful of as we head to the polls. In our hands rest the hopes of soldiers on foreign battlefields, the persecuted church in faraway lands and the peace of God’s chosen nation Israel.” This church-wide short-sightedness threatens to leave everyone from our global neighbors to our next-door neighbors without help or hope. Pray.
“Think about what has happened here in America in just the last 35 years,” Cornerstone Chapel Senior Pastor Gary Hamrick told the Pray Vote Stand Summit on Saturday. “There’s been gender confusion. There’s been marriage redefinition. There’s been a disregard for life. There’s become environmental worship, the stripping of parental authority, the deterioration of religious liberties, and the list goes on and on. How absurd that in a matter of a generation, people are now trying to figure out what bathroom to use. Businesses are being sued for not baking cakes or doing graphic designs for same-sex weddings. The nanny state has approved pornographic reading material in many public school systems. It’s illegal to disturb sea turtles in South Florida, but not illegal to abort babies from a womb. This is complete insanity. We have no one to blame but ourselves. There are 90 million self-identified evangelical Christians eligible to vote in the United States of America and according to George Barna a healthy slice of them will refuse to. Let me tell you what happens when we are not involved in the political process. We open the door for every evil ideology to fill the vacuum. When we decide we’re going to check out, we’re not going to be involved, we’re not going to be politically engaged, all we do is open the door for more of the same evil agenda and ideology. Why is it that so many Christians are sitting out on the sidelines? Why such political apathy in our world? Because a lot of Christians think that politics is a dirty word that they don’t want to be involved in. ‘We will leave the world of politics up to the rest of the world,’ they would say, and then wonder why every evil has filled the vacuum. If you thought the last 35 years was disturbing, imagine the next 35. We are one generation away from losing what is valuable and precious and sacred,” Hamrick warned. Pray.
This trend of political indifference and disgust is in spite of the Scripture’s clear teaching that government — like the family and the church — is an institution created and established by God. “Why is it that when it comes to the family, people are protective of the family, Christians in particular? Why is it when it comes to the church, Christians in particular want to care for the church and defend the church? But then when it comes to this third institution, the second one that God ordained, [and] all of a sudden people say, ‘Well, that one doesn’t need my involvement, that one doesn’t need my participation, that one doesn’t need for me to be engaged.’” Hamrick urged: “God has called us in 2 Corinthians 5:20 to be his ambassadors. An ambassador is one who represents another official or dignitary. Our dignitary that we are representing is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and He calls us to represent him in every facet and aspect of life. That means we represent him in the job. That means we represent Him in the family. That means we represent Him in the church. That means we represent Him in our neighborhood, where we go to school, where we interact on every level with every person. God calls us to be his ambassadors. We don’t stop being ambassadors because we think, ‘Well, government and politics are dirty words. We don’t want to be engaged in all that. We’ll just leave that to other people — other people who will continue to take it down the progressive path it’s on right now and destroy this nation.” Pray.
Calvary Chapel Chino Hills Senior Pastor Jack Hibbs reiterated that point: “We are citizens of heaven. We are to act like heaven. We are to represent heaven. We are to speak about the things that concern heaven.” Does that mean we have to be excited about the choices before us? Absolutely not. But as God’s people, we should all want a president “that will save more babies’ lives than Kamala Harris. That doesn’t mean Donald Trump can save this country. There’s no politician, including Trump, that can affect the soul of this nation. You’re the only one. The answer is not in the statehouse. And it’s not going to be in the White House. It’s got to be in your own house. It’s got to be in the [house] of God. If your response is, ’Well, I don’t vote,’ then “‘you need to repent. Every opportunity God gives us, we are to use it to the advancement of His kingdom. And voting is the easiest. We fire no bullets, don’t pull out any swords. There are no tanks in the street. We just get up and go vote.” Pray.
“Get over trying to find the perfect candidate,” Hamrick admonished. “There is no candidate who is the full package because Jesus is not on the ballot. There is no perfect person running, and God has used both righteous leaders and unrighteous leaders all through the Bible to accomplish his good purposes. If we see the rising tide of evil in our land and we decide to do nothing, we are ceding ground to the enemy, and we are being unfaithful to our calling as ambassadors for Christ.” Pray.
We pray:
That we would not be short-sighted or selfish in our thoughts and actions, but rather we would receive the
mandate and operate in the authority that God has given us and get out and vote. Pray.
That we would give no ground to the enemy but rather, we will advance and take ground, and then continue to occupy until the Lord Jesus comes again. Pray.
That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray.
Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
