Thursday, May 28, 2020 – 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! 

“My Presence will go with you, and I will give you rest.” 

Exodus 33:14

We sing: Here in Your Presence

I just want to be where You are, dwelling daily in Your Presence.

I don’t want to worship from afar, draw me near to where You are.

I just want to be where You are, in Your dwelling place forever.

Take me to the place where You are, I just want to be with You.

I want to be where You are, dwelling in Your Presence, feasting at Your table, surrounded by Your glory.

In Your presence, that’s where I always want to be.  I just want to be… I just want to be…with You.

I just want to be where You are, to enter boldly in Your Presence.

I don’t want to worship from afar, draw me near to where You are.

Oh, my God, You are my strength and my song, 

and when I’m in Your Presence though I’m weak You’re always strong.

I want to be where You are, dwelling in Your Presence, feasting at Your table, surrounded by Your glory.

In Your Presence, that’s where I always want to be.  I just want to be… I just want to be…with You…

I just want to be…I just want to be with You.

     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 our President’s protection from the coronavirus and cover him with the Blood of Jesus.  

Let him respond to every situation by the leading of the Holy Spirit!

We refer those to You who are plotting and planning the demise of our beloved President! 

We say “No!” to them and ask that You expose and foil all their plans! Thank You, Lord! 

We pray that the “elite medical establishment” will no longer block our doctors from prescribing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the coronavirus. Let the doctors be free to practice as You lead! 

We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage, their son Barron and all their family members.

We bless our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family

and all those serving in this Administration. 

We pray for the mass media, which is being used and exploited by the “father of lies.”

We ask that it either reverses course and reports accurately or be taken down.

We pray for the Federal Reserve Board members, to use their power to boost our nation’s economy. 

Let them act in accord with what is good for the USA!

The 24/7 NSPC is praying for the 2020 National Elections, 

positioning ourselves in intercession before the Lord on behalf of our President and nation!  

COUNTDOWN: 160 days until the election! 

Let us pray into this verse:

 “Oh, how great is Your goodness, which You have laid up for those who fear You, Which You have prepared for those who trust in You in the presence of the sons of men!”

Psalm 31:19

Strategic Focus for Thursday

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! 

Taking a Stand for Freedom

“For indeed, those who are far from You shall perish; You have destroyed all those who desert You for harlotry. But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all Your works.”

Psalm 73:27-28

Our song today reminds us of the joy we have whenever we gather together with our brothers and sisters in Christ and enter into the Lord’s Presence, where we feast at His table and corporately experience His GLORY! On Tuesday evening, Attorney Harry Mihet of LIBERTY COUNSEL was our guest on “A Call to the Wall…to Pray for our President”. Harry is a brother in Christ who serves as counsel for the Romanian churches in Chicago who have been unequally treated, threatened and oppressed by Chicago’s globalist, socialist, liberal homosexual, Mayor Lori Lightfoot…(whom Harry calls “Mayor HeavyHand”). The Mayor is a reflection of Illinois Governor J.B.Pritzker, who has issued his own  “Stay-At-Home Order” for the entire state. Together, they have hindered people from opening their businesses, returning to jobs by which they make a living, and assembling in their churches together for services!

These unrighteous officials have placed unconstitutional restrictions on religious freedom. They have kept their state shut down and have threatened draconian measures for those who resist or refuse to “obey”.  They even dared to say that attending church was not an essential, life-sustaining entity, while at the same time, they declared abortuaries and liquor stores as essential! 

We pray:

• That these elected officials will be seen for what they are…power-hungry despots who seek to control the people, and are willing to give no quarter to anyone…including God!  Pray.

“BUT GOD…” led several pastors in Chicago to refuse to tolerate God’s House being closed down. They contacted LIBERTY COUNSEL, and together, pastors and attorneys concluded that if Walmart could figure out ways to keep their workers and customers safe, so could the churches! They recognized that the precedents being set now…against the church’s best interests…will be used against them in the future, thus, it needed to be stopped now!  

Like Dr. Martin Luther King, who took his stand for freedom in a similar way in 1962 in Alabama, they agreed to stand strong as they confronted the evil that was behind these despotic leaders, who sought to shut the mouth of the church… and to silence her prophets! 

We pray:

• For those who recognize evil, and are willing to stand courageously for the truth, and pay the price for their freedom!  Pray.
• For the churches’ pastors and congregations, that they will NOT be intimidated, and that their services will continue as scheduled, without interruption! Pray.

Only one day after President Trump declared Churches “essential,” Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot threatened any churches that would dare to hold Sunday services!  

• In a letter delivered to Pastors from her Department of Public Health, “Mayor HeavyHand” warns the Churches:  “This Notice to Abate is being served upon you as the leader of your congregation. Given the heightened risk of spread of COVID19 in gatherings of 10 or more, you are hereby ordered to abate immediately. You are prohibited from having any in-person gatherings contrary to the Executive Order. You are required to cancel all gatherings contrary to the law. If you continue to host gatherings in violation of the Executive Order, the City of Chicago will take ALL NECESSARY MEASURES to abate the nuisance.” 
• The letter ends with this chilling THREAT in the very last sentence:  “Any future gatherings conducted contrary to the Order will be considered a failure to abate and the City will take steps necessary to abate, INCLUDING SUMMARY ABATEMENT.”
• The Illinois Supreme Court defines “Summary Abatement”  as follows: “Summary abatement would mean TO PUT DOWN OR DESTROY WITHOUT PROCESS. This means the inspector can, upon his own judgment, cause the alleged nuisance to stop on his own authority and effect A DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY AT HIS DISCRETION.”

Therefore, when “Mayor HeavyHand” threatened to take “all necessary measures,” including “summary abatement,” she was threatening to take whatever action she wants, up to and including the destruction of the Churches, without any due process or judicial proceeding.

We pray:

• That those elected officials, like Lightfoot and Pritzker, and others in blue states across the nation, who forget they are servants of the people, and who think they can “do as they want”, will see the citizens rise up and demand that they “cease and desist” in such actions, and remove them from office! Pray. 

Harry Mihet said that it is hard for him to believe this is taking place in “the Land of the Free”. Liberty Counsel alerted the Department of Justice, and yesterday, they filed a petition asking the Supreme Court of the United States to immediately intervene. Mihet says it  “will establish (through the law) a nationwide precedent that will not allow a closure in the future, despite who is President then”.  Each of the 11 Circuit Court of Appeals is assigned one SCOTUS Justice, who can receive their emergency application, asking them to stop the mayor of Chicago from threatening the churches, and then decide the emergency requests on their own or refer the matter to the full Court. The Justice who received their petition is…Justice Brett Kavanaugh…and the Supreme Court has ordered the Governor of Illinois to respond by 8 PM today! Praise God! 

We pray:

• In gratitude for Brett Kavanaugh and the order to the Governor to respond! May Justice be done!  Pray.   
• For the LIBERTY COUNSEL legal team working with Harry Mihet: Mat Staver, Roger Ganum and Daniel Schmid. Let their argument be so persuasive that they can not be denied. Pray.
• We declare that the judgment of heaven has already been rendered in this case…and the gates of hell will not prevail against the Church. Pray.   
• That LIBERTY COUNSEL will be rewarded for being willing to take on this challenge, and the enemies of the Church in this nation will see just where they stand with God! Pray. 

Liberty Counsel Founder Mat Staver said, “The threatening letter sent to the Romanian churches over the weekend is breathtaking. The city of Chicago is threatening ‘Summary Abatement,’ which in Illinois includes demolishing the building without judicial process. To declare these churches to be a ‘public nuisance’ for holding a service of more than ten people is reminiscent of Communist Romania, and not America. Our Romanian pastors are familiar with these heavy-handed government tactics but never imagined they would experience the same in the Land of the Free.” 

As a 12 year old boy, Harry Mihet witnessed a bloody revolution…up close and very personally…in his native country of Romania. He never expected to see it here! Tyrants and being subjected to tyranny make freedom-loving people angry…yet, Harry reminds us that our anger must always be righteous, and our discourse civil. 

We live in a Constitutional Republic, where we can still oppose unjust laws and hold errant leaders accountable…at the ballot box, in court, or in the court of public opinion. We must do so civilly, even as we disagree vehemently and condemn the actions of those who violate our Constitution.

• It IS appropriate, and even necessary, to scorn our leaders when they violate their oaths and our God-given, constitutionally-guaranteed rights. 
• It IS appropriate, and necessary, to condemn evil DEEDS, and to name them as such. Strong words have their place when directed at ACTIONS deserving public rebuke.
• BUT, it is NOT appropriate or civil to employ foul language, to wish harm, to call for violence, to ridicule someone’s appearance, or to curse them all to Hell.

“In your anger, do not sin.” 

Ephesians 4:26.

Individuals have strong reactions against dictatorial policies and threats…and while some are well deserved, others are way “over the line”. As believers, we must choose our words carefully, especially when engaged in passionate discourse. 

• With Mayor Lightfoot, Harry urges us to “remain focused on her CONDUCT…the heavy-handed manner in which she is educating, threatening, inciting violence against, and otherwise dealing with Churches who are opposing her unconstitutional edicts.”  Pray. 
• He noted that he has “an especially weak spot for trolls who hate God’s House or God’s Word, yet try to teach us about them…and for those who impugn the motives or integrity of courageous Pastors who take a stand, without knowing their hearts or ever talking with them.“ Pray. 

Our dear brother Harry says we can all use a reminder that the misguided people that violate our freedoms are, at the end of the day, fallen sinners in need of a Savior, just like us. No one is beyond the reach of Christ’s love. “Over the years, those at LIBERTY COUNSEL have seen several of our “enemies” in scorched-earth litigation come to know Jesus and be radically redeemed and transformed. No court victory ever brings me more joy. That is and should be our prayer for those we oppose – that God would destroy their plans and agendas, but save their souls.”  That said, “Hands Off The Constitution!“                                   

We pray:

• For those who are engaged in these sinful actions. Pray.
• With authority, casting down the evil spirits who are pulling the strings of these officials, who are their “puppets”…under their control. Pray. 
• That believers will not entertain fear in any form; rather, stand boldly, speaking the truth in love to all who will hear! Pray.
• That this nation will come through this time of orchestrated chaos, and flourish once again, as we prepare for the days ahead, when God will use us mightily in the end times harvest! Pray.
