We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!

HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah!
For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah!
For the Lord God omnipotent reigneth! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah!
The kingdom of this world has become the Kingdom of our Lord, and of His Christ, and of His Christ.
And He shall reign for ever and ever, and He shall reign for ever and ever,
and He shall reign for ever and ever,
King of kings, and Lord of lords! King of kings, and Lord of lords!
King of kings, and Lord of lords! King of kings, and Lord of lords!
And He shall reign, and He shall reign forever and ever! HalleluYah! HalleluYah!
King of kings…forever and ever, and Lord of lords…HalleluYah! HalleluYah!
And He shall reign forever and ever!
King of kings and Lord of lords! King of kings and Lord of lords!
And He shall reign forever and ever! Forever and ever, and ever and ever…
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah! HalleluYah!

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.
Strategic Focus for Friday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ENGAGING IN A WARFARE OF LOVE, PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF OUR NATION
AND THE RESTORATION OF OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES – PART 360
“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.“
John 1:5
We heard yesterday that Iranian protesters will no longer be sentenced to death, after President Trump’s warning:
“Iranian Patriots,
KEEP PROTESTING – TAKE OVER YOUR INSTITUTIONS!!!
Save the names of the killers and abusers. They will pay a big price.
I have cancelled all meetings with Iranian Officials until the senseless killing of protesters STOPS.
HELP IS ON ITS WAY.
MIGA!!!”
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
This is good news, and hopefully, it will continue! At the same time, Iran has taunted and threatened President Trump, broadcasting a photo of him taken during the July 13, 2024, assassination attempt, under which were the words: “This time it will not miss the target.” Let us read and pray for the protection of President Trump, the members of the Cabinet and Administration, our American military members, and the people of Iran!
The nationwide anti-government protests in Iran began on December 28th, sparked by skyrocketing inflation, crushing economic hardship, and persistent energy shortages. Over the past three weeks, civilian protesters have taken to the streets in large numbers, clashing with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and foreign mercenary security forces, setting fire to regime symbols and chanting slogans demanding regime change. The Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s response was swift and severe: his forces used live ammunition, excessive force, arrests, hospital raids (detaining and/or eliminating wounded protesters), threats to medical staff to reveal injured protesters’ identities, and a near-total internet and communications blackout. The blackout, imposed around January 8, 2026, has left the citizens of Iran isolated, placing the people of Iran in mass societal “solitary confinement” to enforce unchecked repression. Death toll estimates vary widely due to restricted access for journalists and suppression of information. The US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency (HRANA) has verified the number of total deaths (as of January 14, 2,403 protesters and 147 government-affiliated individuals), along with 18,000 + arrests. Other sources cite far higher figures (from 12,000 protester deaths up to 20,000). Iranian officials publicly acknowledge around 2,000 total deaths (including their own security forces), blame the majority of deaths on “foreign-influenced terrorists” and “paid agitators”. The Ayatollah Khamenei regime has staged large pro-regime rallies in multiple cities, including Tehran, in an effort to project strength, rally loyalists, and counter the widespread anti-government protests. State media portrayed these orchestrated events (featuring chants such as “Death to America!” and “I’d sacrifice my life for the leader“) as “spontaneous displays of national unity against foreign enemies and domestic traitors.” Pray.
The bloodshed has been matched by a rapid escalation in judicial executions, with human rights groups warning of “fast trials“, “no leniency“, and the real threat of mass hangings intended to break the spirit of resistance. A prominent case is that of a 26-year-old shopkeeper who sells clothes from Tehran, Erfan Soltani, described by family as an ordinary young man who held dissident views of the Ayatollah Khamenei regime but was not a formal political activist. He has now become the focus of international attention as reportedly the first protester sentenced to death in this wave of protests. Soltani was arrested at his home on January 8, linked to local demonstrations. His family knew nothing about his whereabouts for several days until, on January 12, authorities informed them that he had been sentenced to death under the charge of Moharebeh (“enmity against God” or “waging war against God”), a capital offense commonly used against protesters and dissidents, with the execution date set for Wednesday, January 14. (This did not take place, due to President Trump’s warning, cited above!) The entire process was rushed, secretive, and utterly lacking due process: no disclosed charges or evidence details, no public trial or hearing, no access to a lawyer, and no opportunity for defense or appeal. Soltani’s sister, a licensed lawyer, was denied access to him or any case documents, with officials insisting no file existed. On the evening of January 13, the family received a tightly controlled 10-minute final visit at Ghezel Hesar Prison, all under the weight of the ongoing blackout. Iran’s judiciary chief Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei said about the regime’s “urgency to protect itself” on state television: “If we want to do a job, we should do it now. If we want to do something, we have to do it quickly… If it becomes late, two months, three months later, it doesn’t have the same effect. If we want to do something, we have to do it fast.” As of today, no independent confirmation exists on whether Soltani’s execution was carried out or not. Human rights groups fear that many more of the detained protesters, with estimates ranging from around 2,600 to more than 18,000, could soon face the same swift, summary death sentences. Pray.
The scale of violence has provoked a strong international reaction. President Trump placed 25% tariffs on countries trading with Iran, is working to restore internet access (involving Elon Musk and Starlink), and is considering military and covert options. He has warned repeatedly that severe consequences (including military action without ground troops) will follow if public executions, particularly the hanging of protesters, take place.
“Well — let’s define it in Venezuela. Let’s define it with ISIS leader al-Baghdadi. (He was wiped out).
Let’s define it with Iranian military commander Soleimani and let’s define it in Iran, where we wiped out their Iran nuclear threat in a period of about 15 minutes once the B-2s got there…a complete obliteration…
If they want to have protests, that’s one thing.
When they start killing thousands of people, and now you’re telling me about hanging –
we’ll see how that works out for them. It’s not going to work out well.”
Pray.
There is a growing hope, shared by Christians and non-Christians alike, that centers partly on exiled Crown Prince Reza Pahlavi. Iranian Christians strongly support Pahlavi for his expressed willingness to serve as a transitional figure who respects the will of the Persian people. Last April, he publicly recognized the persecution of Christians in Iran and sent Easter greetings to the community. In exile, Pahlavi has called on military and security forces to stand with the people, welcomed potential US support, and urged protesters to seize strategic regime institutions.
Pray.
David Yeghnazar, a native of Iran and Executive Director of Elam Ministries (a US-based organization supporting the Iranian church), shared these words from a Christian still inside Iran:
“The people have endured oppression and pain for so many decades, and across the country,
there’s a deep longing for justice and freedom that is shared by many, including Iran’s Christians.”
During a recent prayer call his team held with 160 Iranian ministry leaders (a few of whom are still inside the country), he remarked, “There’s such heartfelt pain for the people that have suffered for so long.” He emphasized, “It is right to pray that every Iranian would live in a free and just country. But there’s a real deep understanding among many believers that whatever change might come, the deepest longings of every Iranian can only be met in Christ.” Believers are actively sharing the gospel amid the protests, and some Iranians are coming to faith through dreams and visions of Jesus. For those who have prayed faithfully for the persecuted church, the moment feels heavy with the possibility of answered prayer. There is a genuine turn toward religious freedom, public worship, and the hope that millions more may encounter Christ without the threat of the oppressive Ayatollah Khamenei regime. Amid the violence and uncertainty, many believers hold fast to the assurance that the GOD Who has protected and multiplied one of the world’s fastest-growing underground churches will bring deliverance and glory to His Name in Iran.
Pray.
We Pray:
For Erfan Soltani and all those facing execution under the charge of Moharebeh. Lord, intervene! Stay these unjust verdicts and protect their lives, as You supernaturally bring forth a new era for Iran! Pray.
For the Iranian people, that Yahweh Tsidkenu (“The LORD Our Justice”) would expose hidden atrocities, restrain further violence, restore access to truth, and strengthen the persecuted church sharing the gospel in this chaos! Deliver the people from evil, and bring genuine freedom and religious liberty to Iran. 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.
