Saturday, December 20, 2025 – 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!
So it was, when the angels had gone away from them into heaven, that the shepherds said to one another, “Let us now go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has come to pass,
which the Lord has made known to us.”
And they came with haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in a manger.
Luke 2:15-16
We sing: Angels We Have Heard on High
Angels we have heard on high, sweetly, singing o’er the plains.
And the mountains in reply, echoing their joyous strains.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Shepherds, why this jubilee? Why your joyous strains prolong?
What the gladsome tidings be, that inspire your heavenly song?
Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing,
Come, adore on bended knee, Christ the Lord, the newborn King.
Gloria, in excelsis Deo! Gloria, in excelsis Deo!
~~~
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 President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection and ask that 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.
We also pray for the protection of members of this Administration,
especially those in the Cabinet, military, and law enforcement agencies, such as ICE, FBI, and CBP.
Pray.
For God’s blessing and intervention in the lives of Joe Hoft and Tina Peters,
as they both need miraculous resolutions to the issues threatening and attacking them!
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump,
focusing our prayers against any demonic attacks against him.
Let him remain in good health, so he can serve his entire 4-year term as our 47th US President!
Pray.

Trump Transgender Military Policy Wins on Substance before DC Circuit Court
The US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit delivered a major win for the Trump administration when it blocked a preliminary injunction against the administration’s transgender military policy, finding that the district court “afforded insufficient deference to the Secretary’s considered judgment.” Praise God and pray.
The ruling, Talbott v. USA, allows the policy to take effect while the appeals process continues. DC Circuit Judge Gregory Katsas, wrote the opinion for the 3-judge panel and was joined by Judge Neomi Rao, both appointed during Trump’s first term. “The Hegseth Policy reflects the considered judgment of the Secretary of Defense and military leaders in the Defense Department. The government identifies several legitimate military interests that the Hegseth Policy advances,” they found, including “military readiness,” “unit cohesion and good order,” “the military’s sex-based standards for physical fitness,” and “cost issues.”
Pray.
Legal drama has attended the issue of people with gender dysphoria in the military since the first Trump administration, after the outgoing Obama administration in 2016 first relaxed a longstanding policy to allow gender dysphoric individuals in the ranks. In 2018, the Trump administration reinstated the previous ban against their serving, a change that drew multiple lawsuits. The administration prevailed in court on a preliminary basis, but the courts issued no final determination before the Biden administration came in and once against reversed the policy in 2021. In February, the second Trump administration reinstated the ban on people with gender dysphoria serving in the military, reviving the longstanding policy that had been reversed under the Obama and Biden administrations. In issuing the new (and old) policy, Department of War Secretary Pete Hegseth insisted that the Pentagon’s “mission requires Service members to abide by strict mental and physical standards. The lethality, readiness, and warfighting capability of our Force depend on Service members meeting those standards. … The Department must ensure it is building ‘One Force’ without subgroups defined by anything other than ability or mission adherence. Efforts to split our troops along lines of identity weaken our Force and make us vulnerable.”
Pray.
In the weeks following Hegseth’s announcement, left-wing activists filed multiple lawsuits, leading to orders by judges in the DC district court and the Western District of Washington that separately blocked the policy. In March, the Ninth Circuit denied an emergency appeal without elaboration, but the Supreme Court paused the Washington injunction in May, allowing the policy to take effect. Meanwhile, the injunction out of the DC district court was on hold while the case was appealed. In a controversial order, DC District Judge Ana Reyes insisted that “the Logic of Bostock Applies to the Equal Protection Analysis” and that “Transgender Persons are a Quasi-Suspect Group,” entitling them to equal protection, although neither the DC Circuit nor the Supreme Court had ever held any such thing.
Pray.
Reyes took no pains to hide her bias in a 79-page order. “The Military Ban is soaked in animus and dripping with pretext,” she wrote. “Its language is unabashedly demeaning, its policy stigmatizes transgender persons as inherently unfit, and its conclusions bear no relation to fact.” Having read this “colorful” opinion, the appellate court assessed that it “gave no sound reason for overriding the Secretary’s considered judgment.” Explained the DC Circuit: “Hundreds of medical conditions are ‘disqualifying’ for accession to military service. They run the gamut from poor vision, poor hearing, asthma, and high blood pressure to various abdominal, heart, lung, neurologic, urinary, vascular, and other deficiencies. … Many mental-health conditions are also disqualifying. These include bipolar disorders, eating disorders, substance-related disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and depression or anxiety disorders under certain conditions.” The argument against the Trump military transgender policy had to argue that it was inherent discrimination to place gender dysphoria on this long list of disqualifying conditions. Furthermore, the court found that the Trump administration’s new requirements “advance many military objectives. Among other things, they ensure that service members can complete required training, serve in harsh or remote environments, and perform their duties as safely as possible. … The standards also reduce the risk that service members will ‘require excessive time lost from duty’ for medical reasons.” The court also noted that “Several studies and reviews undergird the Hegseth Policy.” Finally, they cited the Supreme Court’s reasoning in Skrmetti, that prohibiting gender transition procedures for minors “classifies on the basis of medical use” and is therefore not sex-based discrimination. The same reasoning would seem to cover the Hegseth Policy, which classifies based on the medical condition of gender dysphoria.”
Pray.
The DC Circuit’s ruling allows the military to implement its policy on a temporary basis, while further litigation continues. They issued a “stay pending appeal” of the district court’s preliminary injunction, which means that they temporarily paused the lower court’s temporary ruling. Thus, the ruling is far from final, but at least the Circuit Court did speak to the substance of the case, finding that the Trump administration “made a strong showing that it will prevail on the merits.”
Pray.
We pray:
Father, we thank You for teaching us the difference between “discrimination” and “common sense”, and for giving us Secretary of War Pete Hegseth, who understands the value of true identity and is unashamed of proclaiming and enforcing it. Pray.
Enable the American fighting forces to be focused and not be distracted from their God-given mission, which is to protect and defend the United States of America. 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, strengthen, and cover our 24/7 family in the Blood of Jesus. Bring in mature Christian men and women, and call the younger generation to this assignment with us, as we pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
