July 10, 2026 – Prayer Focus
07-10-26 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration.”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer
Pray for Our Nation’s Leaders!
Perhaps now, more than ever, those who have borne the burden of leadership for our beloved United States need our prayer support. Tonight, we are asking God to give them the courage and strength that only comes when we have surrendered our lives to Him! We now give thanks and praise to God for having given us leaders such as President Trump, Vice President Vance, Secretary of State Rubio and Secretary of War Hegseth, all of whom have declared their undying allegiance to God and country! May He protect and preserve them and theirs!
We interceded for them…and for those who will serve with grace, dignity and integrity in the coming days! AMEN!
We have added a new prayer point to the daily focus:
For those whom God has called, anointed, and appointed to serve this nation in the future,
particularly as US President, to be protected and sustained during their “periods of incubation”,
before publicly declaring their intentions to run for office.
Let’s remember to pray for those currently in office and those whom God is preparing for their time of service.
~~~
Let’s prepare our hearts for intercession by receiving the full armor of God! Beverly (NC) led in 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!

Praise Reports:
Moments after their World Cup journey ended in defeat by Belgium, members of Team USA gathered at midfield in prayer, continuing a tradition they had carried throughout the tournament. Rather than allowing the loss to define the moment, the players paused to thank God, stand together in unity, and give Him the glory. Throughout the World Cup, defender Mark McKenzie helped lead these postgame prayer circles. What began with a small group of players grew into a team-wide tradition centered on gratitude, unity, and keeping God at the heart of everything they did. Christian Pulisic and several teammates have also spoken publicly about how their faith in Jesus Christ gave them strength throughout the tournament. Their example reminds us that worship should never depend on the final score. It is easy to praise God after a victory, but choosing to honor Him after disappointment is a testimony of genuine faith. The Bible says:
“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His love endures forever.”
Psalm 107:1
“Give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Thessalonians 5:18
Victories fade, championships come and go, but Jesus Christ remains faithful in every season. May we learn to glorify Him in moments of success, also in times of loss, trusting He is with us…through it all! Praise God!
Ps Ioan joined us as Maureen was sharing about the USA Team. He shared about a time of trial…when his wife Meruna passed. It was difficult, and the Lord asked him to proclaim shortly after her death: Praise the Lord for He is good and His mercies endure forever. They watched her go from crisis to crisis, and around her death bed, they repeated the words of the Psalm…and were comforted! He said that the USA Team honored God not only in their moments of triumph but in that loss…and Maureen said that was really a gain, because of their prayerful attitude! We prayed into that!
Melissa (VA) thanked God for those on our national Soccer team, and the way they represented the nation with dignity and giving God the glory!
Audrey (CA) her UBER driver explained the game to her and she thanked God for them being good representatives for the world for the USA. She said she has learned how to look at every situations with thanks.
Melissa (VA) this was one of the youngest teams…so its such a big deal that we got as far as we did. Now they are getting experience and developing for the future!
Bobby (WI) she said she can identify a soccer ball… at the most! (HA!) She thanked God for those who are coached and their coaches. What world wide witnesses they are for the Lord.
Beverly (NC) was a PE coach in her earlier years, and young soccer players were affected by that attitude of gratitude exhibited by our USA Team! What an inspiration! A couple from Australia were in Atlanta and said they had never experienced such freedom to preach the gospel as in the USA!
Debbie (TX) saw the prayer and thanked God for the explosion of His love and gratitude over our nation and out from here into the world!
Ydia (FL) Thanked God that even though there was TDS going on, it has been the best blessing for us and those from the world who came and saw what the USA is really like! Their eyes and minds are now open to the truth!
Sarah (GA) came from VietNam and has been living here for 50 years and evangelizing in DC. I love this country!
Jenny (CA) came from Russia in 1994…and prays for the USA every day and thanks God for it…and I love it beyond what I can say! I’m fighting for a future for my children and grandchildren, that they will live in a free country, know God and realize this is the best country in the world…and we must do everything we can to save it!
Susan (GA) we are experiencing the glory of God being poured out on our visitors as they see the truth about Americans and this country!
Audrey (CA) born in Jamaica, and have been fortunate to travel for the US government. I know the difference between the spirit here and other places! So many today have been so brainwashed to believe America is bad. Last week, I asked a Vietnamese how he liked America…and he said you can own property here, but not in VN! Time to wake up and appreciate what we have! Her mom (Eulis) had to wait 7 years to get here…she’s 106½.
Melissa (VA) went to the World Cup – Panama v England – and met so many from the nations. A Brit sitting next to me said they were going from city to city as England played…and that he had really enjoyed his time here…“NOT WHAT WE EXPECTED AT ALL!” It was very organized…
Bobby (WI) this was a gift to the USA…and has gone beyond anything we could have hoped for – to open the eyes of those who thought we were wicked or evil…and do not think so any more!
Ydia (FL) said the French went “ga ga” over Costco! We’re proud of our country and celebrating!

A little research showed that many of England’s most famous elite football (soccer) clubs were originally founded by Christian churches during the late 19th century. Driven by the Victorian concept of “Muscular Christianity,” church leaders promoted organized sports to foster physical discipline, keep young working-class men out of pubs, and alleviate urban poverty.
Major Clubs with Church Roots The blueprints for several multi-billion-dollar Premier League franchises started as humble church outreach programs: Manchester City (1880): Founded as St. Mark’s (West Gorton) by the rector’s daughter, Anna Connell, and church wardens to curb local gang violence and alcoholism in a tough industrial district of Manchester. Everton (1878): Began as St. Domingo F.C., created by the St. Domingo Methodist Church in Liverpool so Sunday school cricket players had a sport to play during the winter. Southampton (1885): Formed by the St. Mary’s Church Young Men’s Association. The club retains its religious heritage today through its official nickname, “The Saints”. Aston Villa (1874): Established by members of the Villa Cross Wesleyan Chapel bible class in Birmingham who wanted a winter activity. Tottenham Hotspur (1882): Traces its earliest roots back to a Bible class for young men at All Hallows Church. Birmingham City (1875): Formed as Small Heath Alliance by choirboys at Holy Trinity Church.Bolton Wanderers (1874): Began as Christ Church F.C., organized by a schoolmaster for boys at Christ Church Sunday School.Fulham (1879): Started by worshippers at St. Andrew’s Church Sunday School in Kensington. Barnsley (1887): Founded as Barnsley St. Peter’s by a curate at St. Peter’s Church.
The Church Started Soccer Clubs During the Industrial Revolution, rapidly growing cities faced massive social upheaval. Churches stepped in using sports as a tool for social reform: Combating Alcoholism: Football provided a healthy alternative to the neighborhood pub, encouraging sobriety among the urban working class. Community Outreach: Matches built community spirit and brought vulnerable, low-income young men under the positive influence of the church. The “Priest” Uniform: The historical connection is so deep that early English Football Association rules dictated that referees must wear black, a stylistic choice directly inspired by the traditional clothing of Christian priests.

At 8 PM, Joe Hoft joined us and gave us an update on his situation.
1st, He is recovering well from the stroke and was out of REHAB in half the expected time.
2nd, His son Dean fell and hurt his hip and had to have surgery on it.
Now, re: the lawsuits he’s involved in: He’s turned the tables on them and has now sued his “provocateurs” in Federal Court. There is a huge focus on Fulton CO and the darkness of the corruption that invaded the USA during the Biden Administration. Brutal! He sued Ruby and Shay to vacate the arbitration, and they agreed to dismiss the case, and he is appealing that decision…in GA. He prayed it can come back here to Judge Aileen Cannon, a great judge. In the other case, the man on the opposite side has been very sick and in the hospital! For Joe, these issues with lawfare bog you down with time…but there i s good news- if they uncover fraud in Fulton CO, and there are arrests, it could help my case…and my brother Jim, too! My message today is not we won, but WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS BATTLE THAT TAKES A LOT OF ENERGY AND PRAYER…but there is HOPE!
Asked about Iran, he said he feels President Trump is building a case to overthrow the regime, and with Israel they are winning. We don’t want to be seen as those who support that regime. There is the group called the Promethains…and it looks as if the UK is behind a lot of the mess. He also said we need some indictments of those in the USA who have committed treason. Justice must be ministered. RE: the USA, we are winning, and I think 60-80 % are with us. There is a chance that something re: the elections will come out next week. Asked about the threat of assassination, President Trump said if he’s killed, “bomb the he** out of them.” The SS established a perimeter around the White House and a fence that will be up permanently!
Ps Ioan said that the midterm election will be a great victory, as when the Israelites crossed the Jordan and entered the Promised Land! Justice must be ministered.
Joe said Chuck Schumer – Senator from NY – said if we do the SAVE AMERICA ACT, 25 M people won;t be able to vote! YES! There is a 2-1 ratio of Americans who are the conservative majority! 78% believe that our government has been weaponized…those are conservative, God loving people! The LIES by the Dems ARE CONTINUOUS… so they can maintain their narrative!
We invited Joe and his brother to join us in MA on November 11th for our 10 year anniversary of the 24/7 NSPC. that will take place 8 days after the November 3rd midterm elections…and 8 (the days between the election and the 11th) = NEW BEGINNINGS!
Susan (GA) shared some key contacts with Joe for the Fulton CO lawsuit. (Maureen sent Joe her cell #)
We prayed corporately for Joe and then invited him to sum up his thoughts, which expressed gratitude for our prayers and support! We bless and encourage him as he travels and does what he must!
Maureen reiterated what Joe said about the need for indictments of those in the USA who have committed treason. It is critical that those who betrayed the sacred trust of their offices pay the price for treason. She also said that President Trump life is on the line, and he said that if he is taken out, to bomb the heck out of Iran! (That there will be no more Iran!)
“1000 Missiles are Locked and Loaded and aimed at the Islamic Republic of Iran, with thousands of more to immediately follow, should the Iranian Government act on its threat, pronounced in many corners of the Globe, to assassinate, or attempt to assassinate, the sitting President of the United States of America, in this case, ME! Orders have already been given, and the U.S. Military is ready, willing, and able, for a one year period of time, subject to extension, to completely decimate and destroy all areas of Iran”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
Ps Ioan asked us to pray again for President Trump’s protection!
~~~
Prayer requests:
Understanding the very essence of Islam, we realize that Sharia law must be made illegal in the USA. It contradicts and violates our US Constitution on many levels. Moslem do not stay where they cannot establish and practice sharia law. It is their instrument of control, their license to violence, and their inspiration for conquest…en route to total domination of the cultures they invade. Tonight we declare and decree that the United States will remain ONE NATION UNDER GOD, and that we will NEVER submit to the demonic sharia law.
~~~
Praise reports:
Victor Marx wins GOP primary for Colorado governor! With 99% of the vote counted, Victor Marx led his opponent by 2,500 votes, just above the automatic recount threshold of 0.5%. Kirkmeyer could still request a recount at her own expense, so let’s pray and lock in his VICTORY! No recount! We also thank God for a really strong conservative lineup ahead of the midterms. Let’s keep those candidates in prayer…and intercede for a total “RED WAVE VICTORY” across the nation!
Maureen exhorted us to be alert in our individual states, to identify and know the “right” candidates (God’s anointed) and to prepare for the days we will be praying specifically into each state’s elections.
~~~
At 9 PM, we joined in corporately singing our National Anthem!
~~~
Statements by President Trump
RE: Iran
“The Islamic Republic of Iran has asked us to continue “talks.”
We have agreed to do so, but the United States has stated to them, in no uncertain terms, that
the Cease Fire is OVER!
Thank you for your attention to this matter”.
President DONALD J. TRUMP
We thanked God that President Trump is being led by the Spirit of God and is committed to doing what is right, and will NOT compromise! Enough!
~~~
RE: Birthright question
“Signs and Billboards are being put up all over our Southern Border, and Mexico,
advertising BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP, with “Deliveries starting at $4000.”
Likewise, similar signs going up all over our Country.
Billions of Dollars will be illegally made by this SCAM, with Citizenship going to anyone willing to pay.
It will be, by far, the number one way of becoming a citizen, and then the entire family will be allowed to follow.
Not sustainable.
NOBODY SAW THIS COMING!!!
AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP IS NOT FOR SALE!
In fact, that is a crime, and therefore, the Supreme Court’s ruling is wrong.
I will be asking for a Rehearing by the United States Supreme Court, IMMEDIATELY.
This miscarriage of justice will destroy America if they don’t change their absolutely insane decision.
Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
We prayed that SCOTUS would rehear this matter and reverse its decision, ending Birthright citizenship!
~~~
RE: Qatar Airplane “Gift”
“To honor our brave men and women of the Military,
we are sending the brand new, and truly spectacular, Air Force One to Mildenhall Air Force Base,
in the United Kingdom, to give them a chance to tour the Aircraft —
Everybody is so excited, and we thought that they should be the first.
For old time’s sake, we’ll be taking the former Air Force One, from Turkey to Mildenhall,
a short trip that is totally worth doing in order to give our Great Military Heroes
a chance to appreciate our beautiful new addition to the Air Force Fleet!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
We prayed for this situation of the Qatar plane, and asked that every aspect be checked out for safety!
Audrey (CA) prayed for it to be totally checked out
Susan (GA) there was a word that if there is anything not in order, it will be exposed.
Anita (GA/NJ) said they had prayed into this today, and are trusting God for the results
Lauren (AR) David said some day Saul is going to kill me. President Trump mentioned something similar….let him not be turned over to the enemy!
Maureen said that there will be nothing that harms President Trump and he will receive the honor he deserves.
Angela (CA) asked to open his eyes to the angels that protect him. Guard his tongue so he will not say his
death is possible…
Maureen declared that HE WILL LIVE and DECLARE THE GLORY OF THE LORD!
Melissa (VA) read those verses from Psalm 118:5-17: “Out of my distress I called on the Lord; the Lord answered me and set me free. The Lord is on my side; I will not fear. What can man do to me? The Lord is on my side as my helper; I shall look in triumph on those who hate me. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in princes. All nations surrounded me; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! They surrounded me, surrounded me on every side; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! They surrounded me like bees; they went out like a fire among thorns; in the name of the Lord I cut them off! I was pushed hard, so that I was falling, but the Lord helped me. The Lord is my strength and my song; he has become my salvation. Glad songs of salvation are in the tents of the righteous:“The right hand of the Lord does valiantly, the right hand of the Lord exalts, the right hand of the Lord does valiantly!” I shall not die, but I shall live, and recount the deeds of the Lord.
Susan (GA) said Psalm 118:17 was the verse the Lord gave me when I was in the dark night of the soul!
Bernadette (NY) if any nation wants to remove President Trump, and make it look like Iran did it, expose it Debbie (TX) he has shown courage, and will continue to do so
~~~
RE: The SAVE AMERICA ACT
“I will not sign the Housing Bill, which has been fully approved by Congress and sent to the White House,
in PROTEST over the fact that the United States Senate is not capable of passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, which is polling at 97% with the Republican Party, and very high with the non-politician Dumocrats.
The Act states, quite simply, that to Vote a person must show PHOTO VOTER I.D., PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP, AND THAT THERE WILL BE NO MORE CROOKED, CORRUPT, & DESTABILIZING MAIL-IN BALLOTS (EXCEPTIONS for Military, Disabled, Illness, and Travel!).
THE SAVE AMERICA ACT’S non-passage is CRAZY,
and a serious threat to any politician who votes against it!
If the Dumocrats, or any RINO (or worse!) working with them, do not allow a positive Vote on SAVE AMERICA, TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, and pass this, and every other Bill that true Republicans have ever dreamt of
(In addition to the upcoming Budget BOMB and the 1929 catastrophic style DEBT CEILING BILL!).
The Dumocrats will TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER,
if and when they ever get the chance to do so, in their very first hour –
And I will no longer be able to call them Dumocrats again!
The title of DUMB will revert to the Republicans
who allowed this horrible calamity to happen to our Party, and our Nation, itself!
MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
David Clements said that the midterm election will require removal of the RINOs to have a real VICTORY!
President Trump is trying to expose the corrupt politicians, and we must support him in taking them out!
We pray in agreement with our President as he challenges Congress and moves to SAVE AMERICA!

RE: President DJT Airport
“A very big day in Palm Beach, Florida, where it was my Great Honor to have
the Palm Beach International Airport be renamed, by a spectacular vote,
The President Donald J. Trump International Airport.
The Area is HOT, the Location is GREAT, and the Renovation will be SPECTACULAR.
Thank you to all in Palm Beach for your Vote and your Confidence.
This will soon be one of the Greatest and Most Spectacular Airports anywhere in the World!”
President DONALD J. TRUMP
~~~
As we prepared for the call to end, we prayed for Ps Ioan and David as they fly home to Bucharest, Romania tomorrow afternoon. Audrey, Debbie and Bernadette offered prayers for them as they go! Ps Ioan said that Filip asked David to be one of his groomsmen in the upcoming November wedding, and that touched Ps Ioan’s heart!
Ps Ioan prayed and thanked God for the cross and for all He’s done, and then we shared in communion
and concluded the call singing SHABBAT SHALOM and sounding the shofar…anew beginning!
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!
