Tuesday, March 24, 2020 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call

“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!

Lift up your voice with strength, lift it up, be not afraid;  say to the cities of Judah, “Behold your God!”

Isaiah 40:9

We sing: Behold Our God

Who has held the oceans in His hands?  Who has numbered every grain of sand?

Kings and nations tremble at His voice, all creation rises to rejoice!

Behold our God, seated on His throne, come let us adore Him!

Behold our King, nothing can compare, come let us adore Him!

Who has given counsel to the Lord? Who can question any of His words?

Who can teach the One who knows all things? Who can fathom all His wondrous deeds?

Behold our God, seated on His throne, come let us adore Him!

Behold our King, nothing can compare, come let us adore Him!

Who has felt the nails upon His hand, bearing all the guilt of sinful man?

God eternal, humbled to the grave. Jesus Savior, risen now to reign!

Behold our God, seated on His throne, come let us adore Him!

Behold our King, nothing can compare, come let us adore Him!

    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: 225 days until the election! 

Let us pray into this verse:

“Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” 

Hebrews 11:1

Strategic Focus for Tuesday

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

Behold our GOD!

“Now they desire a better, that is, a heavenly country. 

Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for He has prepared a city for them.”

Hebrews 11:16

As we opened each hour today, we sang:

“Behold our God, seated on His throne, come let us adore Him!

 Behold our King, nothing can compare, come let us adore Him!”

When such a song is sung, the hearts of those who know Him are stirred and faith is strengthened. As we hear Him tell us to “lift up our voices’ and “not to be afraid”, our focus is fixed on HIM…and all else fades away! Our faith, which is “the substance of things hoped for”  is the faith of Jesus Christ…imparted to us when we receive HIM as Savior and Lord!  With it, we are able to stand, and having done all else, continue to stand…despite untoward circumstances and situations!

Yet, those who have not yet received Christ, do not have that faith. Their eyes are focused inward, on themselves…or outward, searching for human solutions. They see only the problems that are looming on their horizons…while they fail to discern their ONLY SOLUTION…God, as He is wooing and calling them to Himself!  

When a child of God enters such a scene and begins to speak LIFE into the atmosphere, those defeated ones, who have questioned: “Is that all there is?”…who have been living in despair...and have been prepared by the Lord to respond…will hear the Word of the Lord and something in them will be quickened! They will begin to desire the “better”… ”a heavenly country”…and as their hearts open to the Lord, they will hear the Word and respond…and enter an entirely new realm…eternal life!

We pray:

• That the children of God – the Children of the LIGHT – will be infused with a fresh fervor, a stronger passion and deeper compassion…and will be willing to boldly and courageously speak LIFE to those around them.
• Cause the intercessors to rise up and fuel the furnace of evangelism, so those who are assigned to “go into all the world” will respond: “Hineni, Here I am!” and obey!

Just as our President does, in times of crisis, we, the Ekklesia, must run to the battle, not from it! The intercession we are engaged in is CRUCIAL!  In whatever needs we perceive, whatever circumstances we find ourselves, our responsibility before God is to arise and to boldly speak LIFE, walking in faith and modeling the trust, hope, and confidence in Christ that we profess!  We each must LIVE OUR FAITH “OUT LOUD”...and as we do, others will be enabled to BEHOLD OUR GOD!  

The Apostle Paul reminds us that to offer His salvation to all, we must send those who will speak out about God! 

“There is no distinction between Jew and Greek, for the same Lord over all is rich to all who call upon Him.  

For “whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? 

And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? 

And how shall they hear without a preacher? 

And how shall they preach unless they are sent? 

As it is written:

“How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel of peace,

Who bring glad tidings of good things!”

Romans 10:12-15

We pray:

• That the Church, the Ekklesia, “run to the battle” and bring the “good news” to those who are engaged on the front lines…refreshing their souls with the water of the Word!  Let us show appreciation for them, and speak LIFE over them, wherever we find them serving.
• That evangelism will become the hallmark of the Church at this hour…that every Christian tongue will be released to speak LIFE to those who are in danger of perishing without knowing the love of God for them!

This message, written by Dr. Julian Urban, a 38-year-old medical doctor, serving in a hospital in Lombardy, Italy and fighting daily for the lives of those affected by the coronavirus, amplifies the importance of those verses!  Let us read through it and then  pray into it as the Spirit leads: 

LIGHT IN A DOCTOR’S DARKEST NIGHTMARE 

“Never in my darkest nightmares did I imagine that I would see and experience what has been going on in Italy in our hospital the past three weeks. The nightmare flows, and the river gets bigger and bigger. At first, a few patients came, then dozens, and then hundreds. Now, we are no longer doctors, but sorters who decide who should live and who should be sent home to die, though all these patients paid Italian health taxes throughout their lives.  Pray.

Until two weeks ago, my colleagues and I were atheists. It was normal because we are doctors. We learned that science excludes the presence of God. I laughed at my parents going to church. Pray.

Nine days ago, a 75-year-old pastor was admitted into the hospital. He was a kind man. He had serious breathing problems. He had a Bible with him and impressed us by how he read it to the dying as he held their hand. We doctors were all tired, discouraged, psychologically and physically finished. When we had time, we listened to him.

Pray.

We have reached our limits. We can do no more. People are dying every day. We are exhausted. We have two colleagues who have died, and others that have been infected. We realized that we needed to start asking God for help. We do this when we have a few free minutes. When we talk to each other, we cannot believe that, though we were once fierce atheists, we are now daily in search of peace, asking the Lord to help us continue so that we can take care of the sick. Pray.

Yesterday, the 75-year-old pastor died. Despite having had over 120 deaths here in 3 weeks, we were destroyed. He had managed, despite his condition and our difficulties, to bring us a PEACE that we no longer had hoped to find. The pastor went to the Lord, and soon, we will follow him if matters continue like this. Pray.

I haven’t been home for 6 days. I don’t know when I ate last. I realize my worthlessness on this earth. I want to use my last breath to help others. I am happy to have returned to God while I am surrounded by the suffering and death of my fellow men.”  Pray.

Let us take time today to lift up those in the United States, who are bringing comfort to the affected:

We pray: 

• For the doctors, nurses, pharmacists, aides, medical technicians, EMS and all first responders and personnel who are interacting with and caring for those who have been affected and afflicted by the virus. Pray.
• For their families, who have released them to serve others, when they prefer them to be at home with them. Pray.
• For those who are critically ill, in particular, the elderly, who are isolated in care facilities and unable to have their own families around them to comfort them.  Pray.
• For the members of the Body of Christ who have risen up and are extending themselves to share the love of God, exhibiting the compassion of Christ, and bringing comfort to those who are fearful.  Pray.
• For the church congregations, ministries and numerous agencies and organizations who are “standing in the gap”…serving selflessly and meeting the needs of people wherever they find them.  Pray.

We also lift up those in the nations, who are fighting this virus…may they also experience God’s comfort!

We pray:

• For the medical teams who are fighting to save lives and comfort those who are sick with this virus. Pray.
• For the missionaries in third world countries, on the frontlines of the spiritual warfare taking place over those nations! Pray.
• For the suffering masses in countries that do not have the resources to manage the epidemic effectively. Pray.

We pray that even if they have never heard the name of Jesus or the Word of God, those in our nation and around the globe will begin to experience a GREAT AWAKENING, as the Spirit of the Living God moves upon the earth supernaturally…as He once moved upon the waters…bringing order out of chaos…and people to the Lord! May our hearts be delighted as we learn of reports of Divine encounters with Jesus (such as Saul / the Apostle Paul had on the Damascus Road)…as many recognize Him as Savior and Lord, giving their hearts and lives to Him!
