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!

“Be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for love will cover a multitude of sins.”

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
Defending our Right to Assemble and Worship
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity! It is like the precious oil upon the head, running down on the beard, the beard of Aaron, running down on the edge of his garments. It is like the dew of Hermon, descending upon the mountains of Zion; For there the Lord commanded the blessing – Life forevermore.
Psalm 133
The demonic “spirit of Jezebel” seeks to strip God’s people of their God-given rights and authority, and tries to cause them to submit to its will. This has been attempted recently in America, as churches have been shut down, pastors were coerced, threatened and intimidated, and congregations have been forbidden to meet together. Our religious freedom is our most prized possession…and a sacred right! We must rise up in the spirit, cast down that Jezebel spirit and refuse to allow our authority to be compromised. Pray.
In President Trump, the church has a powerful ally! Previously, he had criticized the Democratic governors who had not considered churches as “essential.” At a time when congregants are grappling with this crisis, families are grieving loved ones who died from the virus, or people are struggling with job loss, people seek respite in their places of worship. After listening to the concerns of faith leaders who are unable to hold their regular services because of harsh coronavirus restrictions in their states, and learning that pastors across the nation are planning to reopen… with or without permission from the governors…this “mighty warrior” – always “ready for battle” – took action! The President held a short, unscheduled press briefing on Friday afternoon, and said:
“At my direction, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is issuing guidance for communities of faith. I want to thank Dr. Redfield and the CDC for their work on this matter. Today, I’m identifying “houses of worship”, churches, synagogues and mosques, as “essential” places that provide “essential” services”.
Some governors have deemed liquor stores and abortion clinics as “essential,” but have left out churches and other houses of worship. It’s not right! So I am correcting this injustice in calling houses of worship “essential”. I call upon governors to allow our churches and places of worship to open right now. If there’s any question, they are going to have to call me, but they’re not going to be successful in that call. Pray.
These are places that hold our society together and keep our people united. The people are demanding to go to church and synagogues, go to their mosques. Many millions of Americans embrace worship as an essential part of Life. The ministers, pastors, imams and other faith leaders will make sure that their congregations are safe as they gather and pray. I know them well. They love their congregations; they love their people; they don’t want anything bad to happen to them or anybody else.
The governors need to do the right thing and allow these very important essential places of faith to open right now…for this weekend! If they don’t do it, I will override the governors! In America, we need more prayer… not less!”
We pray:
- That the governors that are restricting the people of God from assembling will reconsider and relent so that the churches will be allowed to fully reopen and be able to meet their people’s needs. Pray.
Several governors – including California’s Gavin Newsom and Illinois’ J.B. Pritzker – have been under fire for their harsh and undue restrictions on houses of worship. Two Chicago area churches, Elim Pentecostal Church in Albany Park, IL and Logos Baptist Church in Niles, IL have both been CRIMINALLY cited by the Chicago Police for not complying with the statewide “stay-at-home order” when they held worship services last Sunday. Because the criminal citation form does not (yet) have a box to check for the “offenses” of “worshiping God” or “preaching the Gospel,” the police…at the direction of Mayor Lori “HeavyHand” Lightfoot…cited the churches for “Disorderly Conduct.” (…the same charge brought against someone who drinks too much and gets in a bar fight) Although they held safe, socially-distanced worship services, under the most careful and ordered conditions possible, each church was given citations that carry hundreds of dollars in fines. When the churches’ attorneys filed in US District Court, Judge Robert Gettleman rejected their case, calling their refusal to follow state guidelines “ill-founded and selfish.” He said the churches “provided no evidence” that the governor’s order violated the churches’ constitutional rights by targeting religion.
Attorney Harry Mihet of LIBERTY COUNSEL who is representing several Romanian churches in Chicago said:
- “This Constitution … shall be THE SUPREME LAW OF THE LAND; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, ANYTHING in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary NOTWITHSTANDING.” (US Constitution, Supremacy Clause, Article VI, Clause 2.)
- “Congress shall make NO LAW respecting an establishment of religion, OR PROHIBITING THE FREE EXERCISE THEREOF.” (US Constitution, Amendment I, Establishment Clause and Free Exercise Clause.)
- “The ‘establishment of religion’ clause of the First Amendment means at least this: Neither a state nor the Federal Government can … force nor influence a person to go to OR TO REMAIN AWAY FROM CHURCH AGAINST HIS WILL.” (US Supreme Court, Everson v. Bd. of Educ. of Ewing Tp., 330 U.S. 1, 15 1947).
“The Constitution being the Supreme Law of the Land, and there being no pause button on, or pandemic exception to the Constitution, obedience to the Constitution IS OBEDIENCE TO THE LAW. Case closed.”
We pray:
- That the “Disorderly Conduct” charges and fines of hundreds of dollars for holding responsible, socially-distanced worship services will be dropped. Pray.
- That as LIBERTY COUNSEL and other Christian legal firms undertake the defense of religious liberty, God will give them the wisdom to be able to articulate their positions to the courts in a way that is irrefutable…and they will prevail in every circumstance…and be awarded attorneys fees! Pray.
- For Pastor Cristian Ionescu, Pastor Daniel Chiu and the Romanian churches of Chicago, as they continue the fight for justice and work to right this terrible wrong. Pray
In the meantime, the Federal Court in neighboring Wisconsin has issued an injunction against the Small Business Administration, forcing it to include “strip clubs” in the coronavirus financial relief program. These are actual quotes from the Court order:
- “nude dancing is a form of expression protected by the First Amendment”
- “we have here a general law singling out a disfavored group [strippers] on the basis of speech content”
- “the loss of First Amendment freedoms, FOR EVEN MINIMAL PERIODS OF TIME, unquestionably constitutes irreparable injury. [The strippers] have shown that their inability to obtain [taxpayer relief money] will prevent them from exercising their First Amendment right TO PRESENT EROTIC DANCE ENTERTAINMENT.”
We pray:
- That those seeking taxpayers’ funds so that they can exercise “their First Amendment right to present erotic dance entertainment” will have an opportunity to hear the gospel and will turn their hearts and lives over to the Lord. Pray.
- That every attempt of darkness to twist the law for the benefit of those it has ensnared will be exposed and rejected. Pray.
~~~~~
It was announced that President Trump has donated his current salary ($100K) to HHS…the Department of Health and Human Services… to be used to develop new virus therapies.
We pray:
- That the President’s generous, caring heart will be seen for what it is, and that he will be repaid by God for every one of his numerous acts of love and compassion for our nation and her people! Pray.
