Dec 20, 2024 – Prayer Focus
Friday, December 20, 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!
“The hour has come for you to wake from sleep.
For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed.”
Romans 13:11
We sing: The First Noel
The first Noel the angels did say, was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay.
In fields where they lay, keeping their sheep, on a cold winter’s night that was so deep!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel!
They looked up and saw a star, shining in the East beyond them far,
and to the earth it gave great light, and so it continued both day and night!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel!
Noel, Noel, Noel, Noel, born is the King of Israel!
~~~
For us to receive and put on the Ephesians 6 “full armor of God” as we begin each hour,
that we might be protected as we continue to “stand in the gap” for our beloved 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 (and now re-elected) President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, as he prepares to be inaugurated as our 47th President.
May he be 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 those leaders that God has anointed, appointed, and elected,
as they take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
May they work together to clean up corruption in our government, and restore our electoral system.
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump.
During the final 70 days before the Inauguration, we are standing
in FAITH AND HOPE AND OBEDIENCE TO OUR CALLING…
praying that he will be alive to be inaugurated as our 47th President on January 20th, 2025!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Friday
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 926
The Righteous Return of President Trump to the White House! – Part 826
“Complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind.
Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves.
Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others.”
Philippians 2:2-4
We received the transcript from President-elect Donald Trump’s interview with Kristen Welker on NBC’s Meet the Press, December 8, 2024. Let us read and pray into selected EXCERPTS!
WELKER: President-elect Donald Trump, welcome back to Meet the Press. You are the first president since Grover Cleveland to win non-consecutive terms. Republicans now have control of the House and the Senate. What do you plan to accomplish in your first 100 days in office?
DJT: We’re going to do something very strong, very powerful with the border. That’ll be our first signal that we’re not playing games. We have people coming in by the millions and jails being emptied into our country. We have mental institutions from all over the world being emptied into our country. We’re also going to be extending the Trump tax cuts because you know they’re coming due and they’re very substantial for people. It would be very — and I think it will anger a lot of people, frankly, if we don’t get an extension of that. That’s what led us to one of the greatest economies ever. Those two things are going to be very vital, very important. We’re going to be focusing on crime in the cities. As you know, of the 25 worst places, they’re just about all Democrat-controlled cities and states. And we’re going to be working with Democrat governors and mayors, and I look forward to doing it. We have to do something about crime in our cities.
Pray.
DJT: We’re going to have a lot of other things. We’ll be working on nominations. I think for the most part, they’re going extremely well.
WELKER: We are going to delve into your nominations, but do you still have confidence in Pete Hegseth?
DJT: Yes, I do. He’s a very smart guy. I’ve known him through Fox, for a long time. He’s basically a military guy. Every time I was with him, he was fighting for soldiers, where some soldier was unjustly put in prison because they were really doing what they were taught to do. I think he’s going to do fine.
WELKER: The fact of these allegations against him, does that worry you?
DJT: No. He’s very respected. I can tell you I know a lot of the people at Fox, they think he’s fantastic. And the people that work with him really love him. When he talked with me, I said, “You know you’re not really a television guy. You’re really a military guy.” He said, “I’m all about the military.” He’s making a lot of money at Fox, and they’re doing very well. I said, “You know, if for some reason you don’t get this thing, you’re not going to be able to go back. And all that money you’re making, you can kiss it goodbye.” He said, “This is all about America.” He didn’t say, “Well, let me think about it. Let me discuss it.” That’s a very big risky thing he’s doing. When he says, “I’m going to give up millions of dollars in order to possibly become the secretary of defense,” a lot of people would say “I have to think about it.” He said, “I don’t have to think about it.”
Pray.
WELKER: I want to delve into one of your signature promises on the campaign trail, which was to end inflation, to lower prices. You are now proposing tariffs against the United States’ three biggest trading partners. Economists of all stripes say that ultimately consumers pay the price of tariffs. Can you guarantee American families won’t pay more?
DJT: I don’t believe that. I can’t guarantee anything. I can’t guarantee tomorrow. But I can say that pre-Covid, we had the greatest economy in the history of our country and I had a lot of tariffs on a lot of different countries, but in particular China. We took in hundreds of billions of dollars and we had no inflation. In fact, when I handed it over, they didn’t have inflation for a year and a half. They went for almost two years just based on what I had created. And then they created inflation with energy and with spending too much. So I’m a big believer in tariffs. I think they’re beautiful. It’s going to make us rich. We’re subsidizing Canada to the tune of over $100 billion a year. We’re subsidizing Mexico for almost $300 billion. Why are we subsidizing these countries? If we’re going to subsidize them, let them become a state. We’re subsidizing Mexico and we’re subsidizing Canada and we’re subsidizing many countries all over the world. And all I want to do is I want to have a level, but fair playing field.
WELKER: Sir, your previous tariffs during your first administration cost Americans some $80 billion, and now you have major companies from Walmart, Black & Decker, and AutoZone, say that any tariffs are going to force them to drive up prices for their consumers. How do you make sure that these CEOs and companies don’t, in fact, pass on the cost of tariffs to their consumers?
DJT: They cost Americans nothing. They made a great economy for us. They also solve another problem. I have stopped wars with tariffs by saying, “You guys want to fight, it’s great. But both of you are going to pay tariffs to the United States at 100%.” They have many purposes if properly used. I don’t say you use them like a madman. I say properly used. But it didn’t cost this country anything. It made this country money. And we never really got the chance to go all out because we had to fight COVID in the last part, and we did it very successfully. And when I handed it over to Biden, the stock market was higher than what it was just previous to COVID coming in. It was actually higher. Tariffs — properly used, are a very powerful tool, not only economically, but also for getting other things outside of economics.
Pray.
WELKER: Well, again, prices did go up on some goods in your first administration, such as washing machines and tires. Will you punish CEOs?
DONALD TRUMP: Oh, let me just explain to you. No. You mentioned washing machines. So you look at Whirlpool in Ohio. I got a call from Jim Jordan, a great congressman from Ohio. He said Whirlpool was going out of business because South Korea and China are dumping washing machines into our country. I put a 50% tariff on the washing machines coming in from China and South Korea, and Whirlpool and the companies that made washing machines, largely based in Ohio, went through the roof. We saved thousands of jobs, tens of thousands of jobs. When I put the tariffs on, they became successful businesses. No, not only didn’t it cost people, but it made our country stronger and more powerful and it kept jobs.
WELKER: But how do you make sure that consumers don’t wind up paying more? Will you punish CEOs who try to pass the cost of tariffs on to their customers?
DJT: Well, actually, the market takes care of it and if it doesn’t, we adjust it somewhat. But in the case of Whirlpool and companies that made washing machines, they were all being put out of business by the dumping from South Korea and China. When I put the tariffs on, very substantial tariffs — although peanuts compared to what countries do to us — it became a very, very powerful, successful company. Now, let’s say I didn’t do the tariffs, it would’ve gone out of business… lost tens of thousands of jobs. And you don’t include that in your equation. No, they make a lot of money. I’ll go a step further. Tariffs are going to make our country rich. Tariffs are going to help us pay off $35 trillion in debt. Tariffs are going to make our country safe. As an example, China doesn’t want to play games with us if we’re going to put tariffs on them and we have a lot of games being played on us right now.
Pray.
WELKER: Well, I think — and that takes me to my next question. Are you actually going to impose these tariffs or are they a negotiating tactic?
DJT: I’ll give you an example. With Canada, and in particular with Mexico, we have millions of people pouring into our country. You agree with that. I spoke with Justin Trudeau. In fact, he flew to Mar-a-Lago, within about 15 seconds after the call ended. We were having dinner, talking about it. I said, “You have to close up your borders,” because they’re coming in the northern border…not like the southern border, but they’re coming in the Canadian border a lot and drugs are pouring in. Drugs are pouring in at levels never seen before, 10 times what we had. We can’t have open borders. I said to the president of Mexico and to Justin Trudeau, “If it doesn’t stop, I’m going to put tariffs on your country at about 25%. That’s a very substantial tariff. And in both cases, where it was really visible, within ten minutes after that phone call, we noticed that the people coming across the southern border with Mexico…there was at a trickle. Just a trickle. In fact, I called the border. (See, unlike my opponent, I do call the border a lot.) I said, “How’s the border looking today?” They said, “There’s nobody here.” They couldn’t believe it. The military stopped these vast groups of people…caravans. They had caravans of people, and they largely stopped them. Now, they’re going to have to continue that. The other thing I told them is no more drugs. And I told that to China too. I had a deal with President Xi. Had the election been different, the result been different, we would’ve had China giving their maximum penalty, the death penalty, to people that send fentanyl into this country. Biden didn’t, unfortunately, finish that discussion up. I had an agreement with President Xi. We’ve had communication as recently as this week, and they are going to give the death penalty to anybody sending drugs into the United States.
Pray.
We pray:
That with every interview, every press conference, each and every time President Trump mounts the platform, the Spirit of God will fill his mouth with the words he needs to say, and he will speak prophetically to the nation. Pray.
As the nation’s leaders come and meet with President Trump, there will be unity, coupled with respect, leading to cooperation at levels we have not before seen. 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.
