“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!
“Christ is all and in all.”
Colossians 3:11
We sing: FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
Fight the good fight with all thy might. Christ is thy strength and Christ, thy right.
Lay hold on life, and it shall be thy joy and crown eternally.
Run the straight race, through God’s good grace; lift up thine eyes, and seek Christ’s face.
Life with its way before us lies; Christ is the path, and Christ, the prize.
Cast care aside; lean on thy Guide. God’s boundless mercy will provide.
Trust, and thy trusting soul shall prove Christ is its life, and Christ, its love.
Faint not nor fear: God’s arms are near. God changeth not, and thou art dear.
Only believe, and thou shalt see that Christ is all, in all to thee.

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 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 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 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: 164 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“Be kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love, in honor giving preference to one another”
Romans 12:10
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!
Gathering the Saints
‘Gather My saints together to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.”
Psalm 50:5
As Christians, we sing and say that Christ is our “ALL in all”…that in ALL He works together for our good. We model ourselves after Him, and flowing in “brotherly love”, we reflect His attributes, corporately and individually. During this time of sequestration, we have missed being able to gather together in God’s Presence in our houses of worship. Now, after the President’s statement on Friday, “identifying “houses of worship”, churches … as “essential” places that provide “essential” services,” saints will be able to gather again!
We pray:
- As we FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT and follow our courageous leader who has a “breaker anointing” into the fray, we trust that the words of the prophet Micah will be manifest openly and fulfilled:
“The one who breaks open will come up before them; they will break out, pass through the gate, and go out by it; their king will pass before them, with the Lord at their head.”
Micah 2:13
Pray.
Eddie Smith shared this story which emphasizes the power of proximity in prayer. It applies to those congregations who will be reopening and coming back together today, as well as for us on the 24/7 NSPC.
For years, a certain group of pastors had the joy of participating in a weekly prayer meeting that would last from two to three hours. When they began, they met in the church, gathering together at the altar area to pray. Typically they would sit on the front row and the steps or the stage, almost within arms reach of each other. God’s Presence was awesome as they literally basked in His glory!
After a couple of years, they began to loosen up their physical arrangements, when one of the pastors said he prayed best when he was walking, so he walked along the side of the room as they prayed. Another felt he was at his best when he was lying prostrate before the Lord, so he secured a spot on the floor, apart from the group. A third liked to sit alone in the center of the room, so he could focus better.
Over a period of months, the pastors noticed that they seldom sensed the Lord’s anointing in the same way they had felt it earlier. They had no doubt that God was with them or that He was hearing their prayers, but they weren’t hearing Him as clearly, nor were they experiencing the blessing of His Presence. One morning, they “compared notes” and acknowledged the “loss”. As they analyzed the situation, what had happened became clear…they had elevated “personal preferences in prayer” over their corporate experience in prayer.
When people gather to pray…in person or on a conference call, if they are separated, either physically or spiritually, or by wanting their own individual preferences of agendas rather than the corporate focus, their experience in prayer will be lessened. However, when they come together, as the Bride of Christ, united by His Spirit, and flow together, they can approach the Throne as ONE and have powerful experiences in prayer! KADIMA!
We pray:
- For every congregation that gathers today, as well as for every member of our 24/7 family on this conference call, that there will be a powerful unity that reveals the heart for radical holiness which has been perfected in love! Pray.
- That what we have learned individually, during this time of refreshing in His Presence, will be brought joyfully to our larger congregations and will enrich them as we proclaim and echo the President’s call that “WE NEED MORE PRAYER”! Pray.
Three other calls took place this week that caused many of our faith leaders to REJOICE and be hopeful!
- Several of them were together on a Zoom call when President Trump phoned one of them on his cell. When he found out that they were all together on that call, the President reaffirmed his declaration that churches were “essential” and said, “You’re back in business. Go get this. Go do your thing. Have great services.” They praised God for President Trump…since so many of them live in “blue states” with Governors who have clearly demonstrated an anti-Christian bias. While issuing restrictions which discriminate against churches, they have allowed other entities, such as Walmart, Costco, Home Depot, liquor stores, marijuana stores, massage parlors, and abortuaries – to remain open. Pray.
- On another call with pastors, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo shared his heart for God. The pastors were blessed by his testimony and praised God for having such a strong Christian who loves God, and is fiercely committed to the US Constitution as our Secretary of State! Pray.
- Finally, US Attorney General Bill Barr was on a video call with 1,700 pastors… and as he spoke, he affirmed that the US Constitution defends the role of churches – and the pastors’ right to determine their own time of re-opening and how they wish to conduct services. Another reason to praise God for our exceptional leaders who understand the truth. Pray.
“You are all sons of light and sons of the day. We are not of the night nor of darkness. Therefore let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober.”
1 Thessalonians 5:5-6
While we are being encouraged by our President to move forward…KADIMA!, exhorted by our faith leaders to FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT and desiring with all our hearts to radiate Christ to all we encounter…we recognize that WE ARE AT WAR! We must remain VIGILANT! Pray.
This week, Mario Murillo sent out a word, noting that as Satan is flooding the world with evil, many believers are still asleep. The good news is that some have their eyes wide open. While many Christians don’t want to talk about spiritual warfare because they hate confrontation, others know we are at war with principalities and powers of evil. These intercessors have been raised up and set apart by God “for such a time as this”.
Maybe you are one of those “Jesus-followers” others consider a ‘fanatic.’ You delight in the Word of God, and when He tells you to do something, you obey! God is watching for those willing vessels who will throw off the trappings of religion, take up the mighty weapons of God, and thrust the sword of the Spirit against the powers of darkness.
We know and trust that GOD WILL NOT GIVE UP ON AMERICA…but WE MUST BE WILLING TO FIGHT. Satan has grossly underestimated what the Lord is willing to do to spare our nation …and that same overconfidence is clearly visible in those who follow his dictates. They look, speak and act like their “father”…the father of lies!
Those who have seen the lie, and all that lies beneath it, recognize how satan is attempting to neutralize, sterilize and defeat to the Church. He is waiting for us to raise the “white flag of surrender” but it will NEVER HAPPEN! AMERICA WILL BE SAVED. Pray
When God moves, He will strike in a way that will leave the God-haters stunned and speechless! The repercussions will also be felt within the church…as the true believers are separated from those who have been “playing church”, deceiving the unaware, leaving them as prey to the enemy!
God’s people are going to be used in such extraordinary ways to challenge those involved in the Deep State, shining light on their lies and exposing the political corruption that’s kept them in power! Pray
The Apostle Peter recognized how the government had crossed the line when he said:
“Which is right in God’s eyes: to listen to you, or to Him? You be the judges! As for us, we cannot help speaking about what we have seen and heard.”
Acts 4:19:
Peter also understood what to do when a government tries to ban the Gospel, as the Jewish leaders of his day did.
“Did we not strictly command you not to teach in this name? And behold, you have filled Jerusalem with your doctrine, and intend to bring this Man’s blood on us!” But Peter and the other apostles answered and said: “We ought to obey God rather than men.”
Acts 5: 28-29
The true prayer warriors understand what is going on as the demonically driven, the socialist left comes after our freedom. They will refuse to allow their godless agenda to be “force-fed” to our children and our children’s children!!! Pray
“I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for Us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.””
Isaiah 6:8
We run to the battle…and know we are in the right place…in the thick of the fight! This is who we were created to be! The Holy Spirit is energizing us to make a courageous declaration of war on the godless ideologies that are destroying our nation. We WILL see the promised harvest of souls and be in the middle of God’s greatest act in history. This is what the normal Christian life is supposed to be.
What the left doesn’t know is that the Church is waking up to her purpose and destiny. God has called us out of the rank and file, and is grooming us to turn the tide of wickedness as we follow Him in this amazing WARFARE OF LOVE…as we engage in the Battle of the Bride! Pray!
