Apr 17, 2026 – Notes Shabbat Call
04-17-26 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration.”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call

We praise God for so many answers to prayer regarding the conflict in Iran. We will be covering that and much more during tonight’s SHABBAT CALL. Let’s begin with receiving the full armor of God! Marsha (CA) led us in that prayer!
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 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, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.“
Ephesians 6:10-18
We prayed corporately, asking that we would wear this armor with the grace and dignity it truly deserves!
~~~
This day has been filled with numerous “positive posts” on TRUTH SOCIAL by our beloved peacemaker President, Donald Trump! Let’s take time to go over each one and pray in agreement for a successful conclusion to the conflict with Iran…and all the other heavy, weighty matters concerning our nation!
RE: Iran conflict
“Iran has agreed to never close the Strait of Hormuz again.
It will no longer be used as a weapon against the World!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
~~~
“A GREAT AND BRILLIANT DAY FOR THE WORLD!”
DJT
~~~
“Thank you to Pakistan and its Great Prime Minister and Field Marshall, two fantastic people!!!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
~~~
“Iran, with the help of the U.S.A., has removed, or is removing, all sea mines!
Thank you!”
President DJT
~~~
“Thank you to Saudi Arabia, UAE, and Qatar for your great bravery and help!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
~~~
“THE STRAIT OF HORMUZ IS COMPLETELY OPEN AND READY FOR BUSINESS AND FULL PASSAGE,
BUT THE NAVAL BLOCKADE WILL REMAIN IN FULL FORCE AND EFFECT AS IT PERTAINS TO IRAN,
ONLY, UNTIL SUCH TIME AS OUR TRANSACTION WITH IRAN IS 100% COMPLETE.
THIS PROCESS SHOULD GO VERY QUICKLY
IN THAT MOST OF THE POINTS ARE ALREADY NEGOTIATED.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!”
PRESIDENT DONALD J.TRUMP
~~~
“The U.S.A. will get all Nuclear “Dust,” created by our great B2 Bombers –
No money will exchange hands in any way, shape, or form.
This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon,
and deal with the Hezbollah situation in an appropriate manner.
Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer.
They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A.
Enough is enough!!!
Thank you!”
President DJT
~~~
We realize that this conflict will not be over and not finished until the Iranian people are freed! ALL these are steps toward that end, and part of a process that will eventually FINISH THE JOB!
Ps Ioan does not trust the regime to act in good faith, for they lie continually. He shared that there are 3 uranium types, (234, 235 + 238); only Uranium 235 can cause a chain reaction that can explode a nuclear bomb! Iran has 235 that is already enriched 60%…and that is what needs to be collected and removed from Iran. He believes that President Trump, a master chess player, is thinking and planning several moves in advance…and will eventually remove the regime and see the people of Iran freed! We prayed into that corporately.
Link to “What is Uranium Enrichment?” – https://www.facebook.com/reel/1227152619225271
We offered individual prayers and reflections
Audrey (CA) shared from 2 Kings 13:16: Then he said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow.” So he put his hand on it, and Elisha put his hands on the king’s hands.
Marsha (CA), we agree with Audrey’s prayer and Ps Ioan. We have made mistakes in the past, and allowed the wrong people to come into power…in places like Afghanistan and Viet Nam…Let the people of Iran be free to choose their own form of government…and no longer be under the thumb of the regime.
~~~
Re: Lebanon / Hezbollah
“I hope Hezbollah acts nicely and well during this important period of time. It will be a GREAT moment for them if they do. No more killing. Must finally have PEACE! Thank you for your attention to this matter.” President DONALD J. TRUMP
“Again! This deal is not tied, in any way, to Lebanon, but we will, MAKE LEBANON GREAT AGAIN!”
Maureen read the following post again, as it seems as if it is an affront to our ally Israel, which has carried the battle in Lebanon against Hezbollah!
“This deal is in no way subject to Lebanon, either, but the USA will, separately, work with Lebanon, and deal with the Hezbollah situation in an appropriate manner. Israel will not be bombing Lebanon any longer. They are PROHIBITED from doing so by the U.S.A. Enough is enough!!!”
Carol (IL) do not let this be an affront to Israel
Mary Ellen (IL) prayed into it
Sharyn (CA), don’t let this cause division with or embarrassment to Israel
Tesi (FL) believes that Trump and Netanyahu are in agreement on this, and it is strategic
Ps Ioan concurred with Tesi and noted the Israelis stopped their attack on Lebanon at midnight. This strategy would allow the world to see that Israel listens to the President and sees him in a position of power.
Carol (IL), this takes the onus off Israel and leaves the US and President Trump in the lead
We prayed corporately into all this.
Bev (MT) # 7 of the 7 spirits of the Lord is the spirit of the FEAR OF THE LORD
Mary Ellen (IL) 1 Kings 3:9, 12, Therefore give to Your servant an understanding heart to judge Your people, that I may discern between good and evil. For who is able to judge this great people of Yours?”, behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. and prayed that President Trump can clearly see all that the documents they will sign together.
Melissa (VA) chimed in and said that she is sitting in her car in front of the White House as she prays.
Mary Ellen (IL) let the church in Iran rise up and let someone in the church be a leader for Iran
Ps Ioan asked Melissa to be our point of contact…a witness…as she is there in front of the White House, and our voice as she prays for the President and our nation from her “perch” on site!
Melissa prayed in thanksgiving, blessing the WH and all who serve in the Trump Administration and their families. She prayed for a purity in heart for them. She thanked God for every effort that has been made to mediate between nations, and to bring the peoples of the world together in peace. She thanked God for the blessing that this has been to the Jewish people and to Israel. Let there be a seeking of God’s face and a hearing of the Word that God says to the President. Call him into a deeper intimacy with You at this hour.
Mary Ellen (IL) prayed for the people suffering in Iran. John 11:25-26 Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?” and I Corinthians 15:20-22 But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have [a]fallen asleep. 21 For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. 22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive. She prayed for the underground Church in Iran to come forth and let the leaders take their places in leading the people of Iran in a new and good government for the people of Iran.
Ps Ioan asked what the position of the Iranian people is re: the regime. We know the young people were protesting for freedom…but how about the others? The people need an intervention by God to change their hearts and cause them to change their mindset, and then rise up and liberate themselves from the evil regime!
Audrey (CA) in London, she met an Afghan lawyer who was driving for Uber. He shared that the people were not prepared or did not want to change. She also exhorted us to pray for President Trump and not to detract from him. We are standing in the gap for him.
~~~
This just came in as we were praying: Friday, Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf criticized President Donald Trump, accusing him of making seven “false” claims in one hour. In a series of posts on X, Ghalibaf warned that if the current U.S. blockade continues, “the Strait of Hormuz will not remain open. They did not win the war with these lies, and they will certainly not get anywhere in negotiations either,” he wrote. Ghalibaf added that any transit through the strait would require Iranian authorization and adherence to designated routes. “Media warfare and engineering public opinion are an important part of war, and the Iranian nation is not affected by these tricks.”
Sharyn (CA) said the youth are the ones who are standing up and protesting; the older ones are not as
willing to speak up.
Mary Ellen (IL) Pakistan is mediating in these negotiations,…they are Muslim… and we don’t know how
much we can trust them.
Sharyn (CA), the President had been adamant about the terrible manner in which we pulled out of Afghanistan…and she thinks he is very much in sync with all of that. He is very clear and focused on “there is to be no more war!”
Ps Ioan noted that the President (in an interview with Maria Bartiromo) said that he had lost his voice shouting at the leaders of Iran…saying that they don’t understand any other way to communicate! He was remanded of what President Trump told another Muslim leader, “look a this picture”…(it was the man’s house, and showed that HE KNEW JUST WHERE THE MAN WAS AT ALL TIMES!) He is wise and knows he must have them alive in order to talk to them, but also keep them in check. They need to know that they are alive because he asked Israel not to take them out, but to let them live to negotiate with him!
We prayed corporately into this and continue to support our President as he takes us through “troubled waters!”
When we accept the love of God for our President, we can continue to pray for him as we ought! We know and believe, with all our hearts, that LOVE NEVER FAILS! We prayed for his physical strength and total health!
~~~
At 9 PM, we paused to remember Tina Peters and all the J6ers.
We will stand with Tina and all the J6ers until they are all returned to their lives and loved ones
and compensated for the injustices they have suffered!
Then, Tesi (FL) led in singing the National Anthem.

Additional Statements by President Trump:
RE: NATO
“Now that the Hormuz Strait situation is over, I received a call from NATO asking if we would need some help.
I TOLD THEM TO STAY AWAY, UNLESS THEY JUST WANT TO LOAD UP THEIR SHIPS WITH OIL.
They were useless when needed, a Paper Tiger!”
President DJT
As British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron convene a summit on Friday on the future of the Strait of Hormuz, the two leaders are pushing a European-led plan to reopen the vital shipping lane after the war, without US leadership. The proposal envisions a post-conflict naval mission made up of Britain, France, and other “non-belligerent” countries that would deploy only after fighting ends. Unlike President Donald Trump’s current strategy of blockading Iranian ports with US naval power, the Anglo-French initiative is intended to be separate from the warring parties and focused on restoring commercial shipping. A senior European official insisted the initiative is not meant to go around Washington, telling Fox News Digital that Paris began discussing a future maritime mission “from day one” of the conflict and is now formalizing those plans jointly with London. Starmer similarly described the effort as a “coordinated, independent, multinational plan to safeguard international shipping when the conflict ends,” saying Britain had already convened more than 40 nations around the initiative, Reuters reported. Washington was not part of those earlier talks. The European senior official said the proposed force would be “strictly defensive” and would only deploy after active fighting and bombardment have ended, with the goal of restoring normal shipping rather than enforcing a wartime corridor. “What we want in the end is no blockade, no toll, no nothing that blocks the fluidity of what is going through the Strait of Hormuz,” the official told Fox News Digital, while stressing that Iran remains “the first problem.”
We prayed for President Trump to “take a decision” regarding how we will deal with NATO in the coming days. They are as arrogant as the Iranian regime is, posturing and spewing their political globalist policies, while doing nothing! We prayed that the British people would rise up and remove these fake leaders!
Kay (IL), how do we get out of NATO?
Audrey (CA) It is a treaty with the other 31 organizations/countries, and 5% of our GDP goes to
NATO…and the nations of Europe cannot do without us…our money, military, and resources!
~~~
RE: Peace negotiations with Israel and Lebanon
“Trying to get a little breathing room between Israel and Lebanon.
It has been a long time since the two leaders have spoken, like 34 years.
It will happen tomorrow.
Nice!”
President DJT
“I just had excellent conversations with the Highly Respected President Joseph Aoun, of Lebanon,
and Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu, of Israel.
These two Leaders have agreed that in order to achieve PEACE between their Countries,
they will formally begin a 10 Day CEASEFIRE at 5 P.M. EST.
On Tuesday, the two Countries met for the first time in 34 years here in Washington, D.C.
with our Great Secretary of State, Marco Rubio.
I have directed Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Rubio,
together with the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Razin’ Caine,
to work with Israel and Lebanon to achieve a Lasting PEACE.
It has been my Honor to solve 9 Wars across the World,
and this will be my 10th, so let’s GET IT DONE!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
“In addition to the statement just issued,
I will be inviting the Prime Minister of Israel, Bibi Netanyahu, and the President of Lebanon, Joseph Aoun,
to the White House for the first meaningful talks between Israel and Lebanon since 1983, a very long time ago. Both sides want to see PEACE, and I believe that will happen, quickly!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP

“Netanyahu is the best Prime Minister Israel has ever had.
Trump is the best President America has ever had.
The two are the best combination the world has ever had.
If you don’t understand, you can’t be helped.”
-Afshine Emrani
We prayed for a new day in Lebanon, for Hezbollah to be taken down and disbanded, and a good and righteous government that cares for its people and is at peace with neighboring nations, especially Israel! Lebanon went from 70% Christian in the 1940’s to only 20–40% now! Lebanon rarely garners headlines like other Middle East actors. It’s a relatively stable homeland. Yet the country hangs in the balance as a beacon of Christianity and stability amid growing threats from radical Islam. Christians accounted for about 70% of Lebanon’s population a century ago. Today, they are in the minority, numbering 20% to 40%, or roughly 2 million people in a nation of nearly 6 million people. Statistics vary depending on the source.
~~~
RE: the FAKE NEWS:
“So weird how the Media / Swamp class, who’ve been wrong for generations on geopolitics,
keep getting outsmarted by a guy they dump all day as their intellectual inferior.
And next they’ll claim it’s all “luck.” It’s not.
Regardless, I’d rather side with someone “lucky,” who wins, rather than zeroes who are unlucky, and lose.”
~~~
“The Failing New York Times, FAKE NEWS CNN, and others just don’t know what to do.
They are desperately looking for a reason to criticize President Donald J. Trump on the Iran situation,
but just can’t find it.
Why don’t they just say, at the right time,
JOB WELL DONE, MR. PRESIDENT,
and start to gain back their credibility???”
Maureen asked that we pray for the US and our people who are being misled by the fake media. They are being stirred up, confused, and lied to! Ps Ioan said the majority of the media have a negative opinion of whatever the President is doing…and manipulate information to uphold their own TDS! We prayed for President Trump to be protected and for his peace of mind… to be secure and well rested to withstand all these attacks!
~~~
RE: CA Gubernatorial Election:
“Why is FoxNews showing SLEAZEBAG Tom Steyer, doing a big piece on him right now,
and probably putting him “into play,”
instead of talking about Republican Candidates, and really good ones like Steve Hilton, and Republicans?
How can a Republican expect to win that State, with their Mail In Voting and Rigged Elections,
when you have Fox News promoting the Democrats?
Nobody cares about Tom Steyer, he is a LOSER, but Fox is making it possible for a guy like this to win.
VOTE FOR STEVE HILTON, AND TURN CALIFORNIA AROUND!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
Maureen asked Daniel (MD) to share about what happened to Che Ahn. He is still in the race (since his name is not printed on the ballot), and will be a WRITE IN candidate. We are praying for the Republicans to be unified…to serve together in a unified way and form a ticket that would bring them all together, so they could do what the Trump Cabinet does – stand together and operate as one!
We prayed for a turnaround in CA…the Golden State!
Mary Ellen (IL) “As CA goes, so goes the nation!” She agreed with Steve Hilton at the top, and the other
MAGA / GOP coming together on a ticket would back him as they take their places in a unified stand for
CA!
Kim (NY) CA has always been a place that drew attention, and it has gone through so much! Heal that
land, and the people…an intense, deep healing of wounds of the decades. Hear the voices of those with
concerns and burdens. Let them come together for CA…and not be warring against themselves! Raise up
that state and let there be enough for everyone there! Build it up and not tear it down!
Audrey (CA) went to an AWAKE summit and noted an apathy there. The news is trying to advance the
agenda of the left, and the people do not know the truth! There is increasing diversity there, and the state is
being broken into many communities…ethnic areas.
~~~
These are the topics we didn’t have time to go over; read them on your own and pray as the Spirit leads!
RE: White House Ballroom:
“A Trump-hating judge, for the first time in History, wants Congress to pay Hundreds of Millions of Dollars
for a Glorious Ballroom, instead of accepting Donations from Great American Companies and Citizens.
This is a first — In other words, he wants Tax Payers to pay for the Ballroom, instead of Donors and Patriots!
The Ballroom is FREE to our Country, A GIFT, and vital for our National Security.
This Judge, who works for another Judge who was just MANDAMUSED
for the unfair and biased way he treats me, should be ashamed of himself!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
~~~
NOTE: The US Department of Justice has asked a federal appeals court to throw out the convictions of 12 people who were found guilty of seditious conspiracy related to what took place on January 6, 2021. Although President Trump issued more than 1,000 pardons for those convicted for their participation at the Capitol that day, he opted to commute the sentences of a dozen members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, (which meant they could be released from prison, but their convictions remained on the record.) the US Attorney’s Office in Washington, DC, said in a filing on Tuesday:
“The United States has determined in its prosecutorial discretion that
dismissal of this criminal case is in the interests of justice,”
If the court approves the request to wipe out the convictions, it would be another victory for President Trump, who had pledged to free those seeking to stop Congress from certifying that Biden had won the 2020 election. On his first day back in office, Trump issued pardons or commutations for more than 1,500 people.
We shared in communion together and then concluded this SHABBAT CALL singing: SHABBAT SHALOM!
In His love…always!
Maureen and Ps Ioan

NOTE: We have several openings for Co-Facilitators…in the morning, afternoon, and evening!
Using the “two by two” Biblical model, our Facilitators and Co-Facilitators team up to “carry” the call together.
(This ensures that each hour is always covered…and the need for subs can be eliminated!)
We invite those who are willing to step up and stand in the gap for the 24/7 NSPC
to contact Maureen to volunteer to serve for an hour a week…407-810-4665.
Lord, bring committed co-facilitators to cover every hour.
Touch hearts, and cause those of our 24/7 family to rise up and serve
as we intercede for our nation’s destiny and deliverance!
