“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 #
We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Blessed be the name of the Lord from this time forth and forevermore!”
Psalm 113:2
We sing: Blessed be the Name of the Lord
Blessed Be Your Name, in the land that is plentiful, where Your streams of abundance flow…
Blessed be Your name
Blessed Be Your name, when I’m found in the desert place, though I walk through the wilderness…
Blessed Be Your name
Every blessing You pour out, I’ll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say:
Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your name!
Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your glorious name!
Blessed be Your name when the sun’s shining down on me, when the world’s ‘all as it should be’
Blessed be Your name
Blessed be Your name on the road marked with suffering, though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name
Every blessing You pour out, I’ll turn back to praise. When the darkness closes in, Lord, still I will say:
Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your name!
Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your glorious name!
You give and take away. You give and take away. My heart will choose to say:
Lord, blessed be Your name!
God, You give and take away. You give and take away. My heart will choose to say:
Lord, blessed be Your name!
Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your name!
Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your glorious name!
Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your name!
Blessed be the name of the Lord, blessed be Your glorious name!

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 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 allowing itself to be 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: 221 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.”
Job 1:21

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Revealing the Hidden Things – Part 2
“I will bless the Lord at all times; His praise shall continually be in my mouth.
My soul shall make its boast in the Lord; the humble shall hear of it and be glad.
Oh, magnify the Lord with me, and let us exalt His name together.”
Psalm 34:1-3
Although the nations are filled with much suffering, and our beloved country leads the world in the number of those afflicted by the coronavirus, we who know the Lord are being called upon to bless Him, and to exalt His name! He is worthy of our praise…worthy of it all…and nothing or no one will stop us from rendering Him the praise He is due!
(Take a moment to open up the call and ask everyone to praise Him corporately,)
We are to praise God at all times…both good and bad! If we are in good health, it’s a gift from God, and if we have food on our tables and a roof over our heads, it’s by His grace! During these past few weeks, we’ve been given the opportunity to recognize that everything comes from God and when our comforts…money, health, jobs, entertainment, friends and family… are removed, God is still there!
“Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”
James 1:17
We pray:
- We thank You for all we are, all that we have and for all we are enabled to do. Our times are in Your hands and we KNOW that we are safely in Your grip! We trust in You and praise you in the midst of this storm! Pray.
Job aptly said: “The Lord gave, and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.” Whether its family…finances…or our future that seems to be in jeopardy, as we magnify His name, He becomes bigger to us than the coronavirus, more powerful than the anxiety and fear that try to strike at our hearts, and stronger than any enemy we must face!
People need timelines…estimates of how long it might take before they can resume their normal lives and schedules. Businesses want to remain viable and are eager to reopen and begin to create revenue once again! Although this coronavirus has a timeline that is, as yet, unknown…it had a beginning…and it WILL have an end. God, on the other hand, has always been…He forever is…and He will always be! When we accept His gift of salvation through Jesus Christ, we enter into that eternal life with HIM…and are there with Him…forever!
We pray:
- Lord, we praise and magnify and exalt Your Holy Name today! As we pass through times of trial and testing, when faced with trouble and terror, we look to You, our STRONG TOWER…where we find the shelter and security we need to abide and thrive…in perfect peace. Thank You! Pray.
Look at the ECONOMY. The leading economic indicators, which reflect the contraction or expansion of the economy, include the numbers of those who ask for social assistance, the amount of government supplies available, the manufacturers’ production output and, of course, the level of unemployment.
Sadly, we have just recorded the highest level of unemployment claims since that reporting began to take place…over 50 years ago. Unemployment claims spiked more than 1,000% last week, with initial claims rising from 282,000 to 3.3 million as businesses laid-off workers during this virus crisis. Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia noted: “This large increase in unemployment claims was not unexpected, and results from the recognition by Americans across the country that we have had to temporarily halt certain activities in order to defeat the coronavirus.”
We pray:
- Lord, as this curse came on us suddenly, it can be lifted as quickly! We ask for Your intervention. Pray.
What’s even more troubling is the liberal Democrats’ insistence on including a provision in the CARES Act that will increase unemployment insurance claims.
- The CARES Act has created “Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation” to provide unemployed workers with an additional $600 per week in unemployment insurance benefits. These amped-up benefits are available, regardless of how much workers were earning prior to becoming unemployed, and regardless of whether their unemployment has anything to do with COVID-19. Even workers who became unemployed before March can receive additional benefits.
- Combined with traditional unemployment benefits, (that average about 50% of workers’ previous wages), this means that a majority of Americans can get more money when unemployed than when employed.
- Lower-wage workers will have the greatest financial incentive to collect unemployment insurance. Someone who works 30 hours per week at the federal minimum wage could triple their weekly income – from $218 per week to $709 – by collecting unemployment insurance instead of working.
Millions of workers have lost their jobs, through no fault of their own, and temporary federal unemployment insurance supplements are needed to bring individuals up to 100% of their previous incomes. Being able to receive their full salary will help individuals most negatively affected by the coronavirus, and could help curb any economic downturn. But Democrats refused to do that, unanimously rejecting Republicans’ amendment to cap the total unemployment insurance benefits at 100% of workers’ wages.
Receiving a windfall unemployment benefit might seem like great news, but in reality, supersized unemployment insurance checks that discourage Americans from working likely will impede the economic recovery. This could also have substantial long-term consequences for those induced into unemployment. The real tragedy will come if the added unemployment benefits cause an increase in long-term unemployment. Such joblessness has been shown to reduce workers’ incomes and opportunities and to cause a rise in disability insurance beneficiaries.
We pray:
- Lord, let each one ONLY do what is right before You, receiving what they need but not taking advantage of the situation! Pray.
Humans have an innate desire to work, to produce things of value. Public policy should support instead of discourage work. But if employees can be made better off by being laid off, and businesses don’t need their employees and can avoid taking out loans, that’s what they’ll do. That could turn a temporary public health crisis into a massive economic downturn, not to mention negating some of the potential benefits of an additional $2 trillion in deficit-financed stimulus spending. If Congress wants the economy to recover as quickly as possible after it’s safe to reopen things, and if it cares about the long-term welfare of workers, it should enact policies that will keep people employed instead of incentivizing them to become unemployed.
We pray:
- That the intrinsic ability of the American people to roll up their sleeves and get the job done will burst to the forefront and get the economy “up and at ‘em” – running full bore, once this virus passes! We will not be kept down! It may be Friday, but Resurrection Day is coming! Pray.
Our President’s priorities are LIFE, SAFETY and then, the ECONOMY! He has his priorities right, and we are so grateful for him being the one who sits in the Oval Office at this hour! President Trump has been leading this nation – letting people know what they need to know…and what they need to be grateful for – telling them not to criticize and tear things down – but to build up and be positive! He IS being extremely Presidential…as he reaches out and gives loving, Godly, fatherly advice… which is touching people’s hearts!
President Trump is working hard with those around him, valuing every life, to save and protect and improve life for all of us! Vice President Pence is doing a yeoman’s job as he leads the Coronavirus Task Force.
We pray:
- For both of them and those aligned and working with them on behalf of our nation and people! Pray.
- We have been given time to realign…to refresh… and to RESET…to decide to live for HIM…and to go forward! Let us all take this opportunity to become the best versions of ourselves, and to take our country forward KADIMA, in lockstep with our President! Pray.
