We say “No!” to those planning his demise, and ask You to expose and foil all their evil plans!

Strategic Focus for Sunday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
YOM KIPPUR – Part 1
“Also the tenth day of this seventh month shall be the Day of Atonement. It shall be a holy convocation for you; you shall afflict your souls, and offer an offering made by fire to the Lord. And you shall do no work on that same day, for it is the Day of Atonement, to make atonement for you before the Lord your God.”
Leviticus 23:27-28
The Return
President Trump Honored “The Return” National Prayer and Repentance Day by issuing an official proclamation from the White House supporting it. He wrote:
“On this inaugural National Day of Prayer and Return, the First Lady and I join millions of Christians here in the United States and around the world in prayer, as we turn our hearts to our Lord and Savior.
Our great Nation was founded by men and women of deep and abiding faith—a faith that has stood the test of time. Four hundred years ago, early American settlers trusted their lives to His providence and braved a voyage to a New World. From the pilgrims who sought His protection aboard the Mayflower to the countless believers who today bow their heads to ask for His guidance during these unprecedented times, our country continues to turn to the Lord. Following in our ancestors’ footsteps we continue the “firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence” that provides us enduring strength and reassurance in our times of need.
The trials and tribulations the American people have faced over the past several months have been great. Yet, as we have seen time and again, the resolve of our citizenry—fortified by our faith in God—has guided us through these hardships and helped to unite us as one Nation under God. As we continue to combat the challenges ahead of us, we must remember the sage words of President George Washington during his first Presidential Address: “propitious smiles of heaven can never be expected on a nation that disregards the eternal rules of order and right, which Heaven itself has ordained.” As a country and a people, let us renew our commitment to these abiding and timeless principles.
Today, I am pleased to join my voice to yours in thanking God for blessing this nation with great power and responsibility. With reverence, humility, and thanksgiving, we beg for His continued guidance and protection.
We pray:
- That our President is blessed and encouraged by those who are interceding for him and our nation, and that God honors him for noting and honoring the efforts of the Body of Christ in prayer! Pray.
The Ten Days of Awe, the time for serious introspection and repentance, has come to a close!
Yom Kippur is thought to be the most important holiday of the Jewish calendar. Many Jews, who do not observe any other Jewish customs, will refrain from work, fast and attend Synagogue Services on this day. One of our scriptures today reminds us that there have been “times of ignorance” that God has “overlooked”…but now, He “commands all men everywhere to repent.”
We pray:
- Lord, You have been merciful, and slow to anger at our people who have turned away from You and sought other gods! Forgive us! Pray.
- We, Your remnant, are grateful for the loving kindness You have shown to our nation, and we ask You to continue the work of restoration that You are doing in hearts across this land! Save Your people! Bring us back to You! Pray.
Every relationship is only good as the time put into it. It is one thing to be living with a person and another thing to spend quality time with the same person. Similarly, although Immanuel means “God with us” (and He is), intentionally spending time with Him is how we build the quality of our relationship with Him.
Getting together for dinner is one-way people of all cultures spend quality time with each other. Jesus related a dining experience to which He is inviting His Church. Let’s continue our series on repentance, first by considering His message to the last Church – the Church of Laodicea, spoken about in Revelation 3:15-22.
“I know your works, that you are neither cold nor hot. I could wish you were cold or hot. So then, because you are lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will vomit you out of My mouth. Because you say, ‘I am rich, have become wealthy, and have need of nothing’—and do not know that you are wretched, miserable, poor, blind, and naked— I counsel you to buy from Me gold refined in the fire, that you may be rich; and white garments, that you may be clothed, that the shame of your nakedness may not be revealed; and anoint your eyes with eye salve, that you may see. As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten. Therefore be zealous and repent. Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and dine with him, and he with Me. To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
With the coronavirus frenzy, the Lord was silently calling the remnant Church into a dining experience with Him. The Laodicean Church was very active and vibrant in its own way, like the Church today, had become self-sufficient…in need of nothing. But in the eyes of the Lord, the Laodicean Church was wretched, miserable, poor, blind and naked! Yet they did not recognize it themselves. This is a warning to us now!
We pray:
- Lord, let our eyes be open and our ears attentive to Your Word and Your ways, so that we will stay on track, and be able to respond and correct course whenever we drift away! Pray.
A false sense of security and riches can keep us, the Church, blind to the things of God. Until the Lord intervenes one way or the other, we tend to keep going the same way. The “status quo” is “normal”…until He allows us to be shaken…for our own good. In the case of the Church of Laodicea, the intervention was not pleasant…for Jesus warned them that He would spit them out of His mouth because they had become lukewarm.
A lukewarm state is more deceptive than being cold. At least with coldness, you know you’re cold. But the lukewarm think they are rich while in reality they are poor. They don’t want too much spirituality or too much of the world. They are comfortable being “somewhere in the middle”. In other words, they want to choose the way that they feel is comfortable for them, spiritually!
When it comes to the relationship with the Lord, those in the lukewarm state are not desirable. He is confronting us to be either all in or all out…no more middle ground. We are being compelled to choose sides, to be like either the wise or foolish virgins…both of whom grew up in Church together and “ate the same spiritual meat; the same spiritual drink: from that spiritual Rock, Jesus Christ!” 1 Corinthians 10:3-4 Having all started with Christ, some chose to become wise, while others became foolish over a period of time. Today, that “middle Church” is vanishing, and will have to decide to be all (hot) or all out (cold)!
This is a painful and scary process, to go through separation, in the church-at-large, but it is beneficial for the majority in the middle…if they make the right choice…to become fully devoted to the Lord. It is time to examine ourselves, to be sure that we are on the side of the wise virgins.
We pray:
- Lord Jesus, help us to see ourselves as You see us, and then give us the grace to conform to Your blueprint for our lives, so that we are like You…body, soul and spirit! Help us! Pray.
“As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent.”
Revelation 3:19
Once Jesus identified the problem of the Laodicean Church, He reminded them to repent. He disciplines us out of love, so that we become wise virgins. Afflictions cause us to return to God and ask for pardon…but our afflictions are insignificant compared to the afflictions that Christ suffered for us. Rebuke is painful initially, but beneficial, as it speaks truth into our lives and brings us closer to His Presence. The way we respond to correction determines whether we will be hot or cold…wise or foolish virgins.
We can no longer hide in a “Church culture”…or disappear in the big buildings of the past. This is a time of exposure and all that is false must give way to the authentic when His Presence is desired in our lives. The admonition being spoken by the Lord in this season is: be zealous and repent. If we don’t choose to become wise in the Spirit, we automatically become foolish. There is no more giving half of our time to the world and the other half to God.
We must be solely HIS…our hearts must be undivided…sold out to Him alone!!
We pray:
- That You will give us tender hearts toward You, Lord, that will beat as one with Yours, and reach out to embrace Your people with the love that flows through us from You! Pray.
Once we repent, we don’t remain there; we go further and deeper into our experience with Jesus. He called the Laodicean Church then…and He bids us now… to come into a profound level of intimacy with Him. To the repentant Laodicean Church, He says:
“Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears My voice, and opens the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.
Revelation 3:20.
Repentance helps us better hear God’s voice. He does not want us to be “checking in and out”. He longs to dine and talk with us as He is… Immanuel. Having made the choice to be hot, we learn to walk in intimacy with Him! From the intimacy of this dining experience, He bids us to move even further into our relationship with Him…and He shows us how to be “overcomers.”
“To him that overcomes will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.”
Revelation 3:21
Learning to walk in intimacy with the Lord teaches us to walk as overcomers. The disciples that fell asleep in
Gethsemane succumbed to temptation, while Jesus overcame through suffering…knowing all that He was about to endure. Overcoming is a result of repentance and intimacy. As His Church, we dare not stop at intimacy…rather we must move forward KADIMA! to overcome the world and the obstacles. By learning to overcome, we are given the privilege of being ONE with Him – just as Jesus is with the Father. The little time we spend on earth serves as a qualification period for our future permanent habitation with the Lord.
It is crucial that we see now where the Lord is taking us through this process of repentance. The journey that is initiated through repentance is a journey that continues to eternity. Each step qualifies for the next.
We pray:
- Lord God, we are grateful to be taking this journey through repentance with You! We trust in You and are willing to google and obey Your every direction! Keep us close to You and use us for Your GLORY! Pray.
Jesus exemplified intimacy with the Father. There were times He prayed all night…after a whole day of ministry. He also arose early to go and pray before a busy day. He longed for the time with the Father. The enemy is threatened by our prayer and will fight our quality time with the Lord in this season. Overcoming becomes a norm when we minister from the place of intimacy. The overcomers are the ones who will rule with the Lord and habitat with Him.
“Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord”.
1 Thessalonians 4:17
Every message to the church in Revelation ends with the words:
“He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.”
Revelation 3:13
The Prayer March
The messages to the Church in Revelation are not for the faint-hearted… but for those who are fully surrendered. The rich young ruler who came to see Jesus was excited, but when Jesus said to give away all that he had and follow Him, lacking in faith, the young man simply walked away…“empty”…and sorrowful! Let that not happen to us!
The overcomers are the ones mentioned at the end of the addresses to each church…the ones who are willing to go all the way…from repentance…to intimacy…to habitation. Let us choose to go further and further with the Lord, and learn to be overcomers so that we will one day have the great privilege of being with Him…forevermore!
We pray:
- Lord, we stand in awe of You…and are so grateful for Your goodness to us!. Thank You for loving us, and for inviting us into that place of intimacy where You teach and train us to overcome. We submit to Your instruction and delight in learning more and more about Your will and way! Pray.
- Jesus, reach out to our President and bring him into that secret place with You, so that You can speak to him, direct him and show him the way that You have prepared for him and our nation!
- We pray again that he will call the people to a National Day of Repentance. Speak to him in the night hours and inspire him in that, please, Lord!

NOTE: We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call. As necessary, bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss and lift up the Name of Jesus in song, then pray a shield of protection, deliverance and healing over our CC line and our 24/7 family, and immediately return to the focus.
