“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!
“For the Lord is great and greatly to be praised; He is to be feared above all gods.”
Psalm 96:4
We sing: Our God is Greater
Water You turned into wine, opened the eyes of the blind. There’s no one like You…none like You!
Into the darkness You shine, out of the ashes we rise! There’s No one like You…none like You!
Our God is greater! Our God is stronger! God You are higher than any other!
Our God is Healer, awesome in power, our God, our God!
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
And if Our God is for us, then who could ever stop us?
And if our God is with us, then what can stand against?
Then what can stand against?
Our God is greater! Our God is stronger! God You are higher than any other!
Our God is Healer, awesome in power, our God, our God!
Our God is greater! Our God is stronger! God You are higher than any other!
Our God is Healer, awesome in power, our God, our God!
OUR GOD!

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 and cover him with the Blood of Jesus, as he is in one of the most difficult moments of his Presidency. 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 Federal Reserve Board members, to use their power to boost our nation’s economy.
Let them no longer resist our President’s requests to 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: 264 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“Execute true justice, show mercy and compassion, everyone to his brother.
Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor.
Let none of you plan evil in his heart against his brother.”
Zechariah 7:9-10

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Going Deeper on Buttigieg
“They refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear.
They made their hearts like flint,
refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit,
through the former prophets.
Thus, great wrath came from the Lord of hosts.”
Zechariah 7:11-12
When Jesus comes into our lives, we surrender to Him and yield all we are to His SOVEREIGN LORDSHIP. At that point, it is no longer our strength, or our power, or our ability that counts…but HIS! We see changes take place in our lives…as He builds us into a glorious House of Prayer…and accomplishes both in and through us all that He has promised! Walking in the footsteps of Jesus, showing the mercy and compassion He’s placed in our hearts, loving our fellow men and women unconditionally, we engage in a wonderful “Warfare of Love”…and those who see and understand what is taking place will want to join us… so that together, we can serve and glorify God!
We pray:
- What a joy it is to know, love and serve God…and to be so radiant with His love that others are drawn to us when they see His reflection in us! Lord, have Your way in each of us today! Flood over us with Your grace and compassion, so that we might become “magnetic”, drawing others into Your Presence, so they too might worship with us before Your Throne!
Sadly, there are some who stubbornly refuse to acknowledge God’s sovereignty or give Him the honor He is due. They will not listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit, and have hardened their hearts and rebelled against Him. They continually find insidious ways to twist and distort His Word and His character, confusing those who are impacted and led by them, as they “go their own way”…instead of obeying God. For that, they will suffer dire consequences.
One such person is South Bend, Indiana’s Mayor, Pete Buttigieg, a self-described “progressive” who seeks to abolish the Electoral College system, supports citizenship for illegal immigrants, and thinks that so-called “climate change” is a national security threat. A Democrat candidate for the presidency of the United States, he is totally unfit for office, and we pray that he will be exposed for who he really is, rejected and removed! In the meantime, while the rest of his competitors are “out in far-left” field, he is trying to “carve out a niche for himself” in this campaign in the “middle” ground! Buttigieg’s “schtick” (gimmick, routine, performance) has “played” well in Iowa and New Hampshire, where everyday Democrats are desperate for a candidate who isn’t a “socialist.” As a young, well-spoken Midwesterner, he’s resonated with voters who couldn’t find a reasonable-sounding Democrat in the race, and for the last several weeks, he’s been “pretending” to be a mild-mannered moderate.
There’s just one problem…behind his façade, he is also an extremist in his positions. Buttigieg’s hidden agendas are the “fruit” of his father’s influence. Joseph Buttigieg was a Marxist professor who spoke fondly of the Communist Manifesto and studied and taught on Italian Communist Party founder Antonio Gramsci, an associate of Vladimir Lenin. He immigrated to the US in the 1970s from Malta and in 1980 joined the University of Notre Dame faculty, where he taught modern European literature and literary theory. He was unapologetically Marxist.
We pray:
- That this “fruit” which hasn’t “fallen far from the tree”, will shrivel up and be unable to reproduce, once again reflecting the aberrant death style Pete Buttigieg has adopted.
Although Democrats have openly distanced themselves from God in their party platform, Buttigieg frequently throws in references to his “faith” when he speaks. Imagine the shock when Christians learn that he has a “husband”. Most people assume that when someone speaks so freely about Christianity that they also practice it! Not so!
Recently, Buttigieg’s views on abortion and religious liberty were revealed and have placed him in the category of an “ardent extremist” who has no regard for what the Bible says about them.
- When he appeared on “The View”, Meghan McCain asked him to explain what he meant by “life begins at breath,” and asked “if a woman wanted to invoke infanticide after a baby is born, you’d be comfortable with that?” He fired back: “Does anybody seriously think that’s what these cases are about? I don’t know what to tell them morally about what they should do,“ (the ultimate insult to so many of documented abortion survivors). He doesn’t know…and, as far as he’s concerned, the government shouldn’t either.
Yes…people actually DO think that IS what these cases are about. Liberals want you to think that infanticide is a fake crisis invented by pro-lifers, but there are literally hundreds of infants being murdered every year. Factor in the hundreds of undocumented “snippings” and the stabbings of “born babies” and we’re talking about entire schools of children disappearing. Buttigieg can’t say that killing a living, breathing, born baby is wrong. He believes it’s a matter of “personal morality” and the government shouldn’t intervene. The problem with the left’s “sliding scale of morality” is that it doesn’t work. Right and wrong go beyond Scripture to the laws of nature inscribed upon the hearts of people everywhere.
We pray:
- That right thinking, honest Americans will refuse to accept the culture of death that seeks to destroy life in the womb and after birth, and reject Buttigieg and all who ascribe to abortion or infanticide!
Buttigieg’s homosexual partner Chasten, (the would-be “first gentleman”) has a brother, Ryan, a pastor, who has accused “Mayor Pete” of hijacking the Gelzman family’s history for political advantage and crafting a “bogus backstory” of poverty, homelessness, and homophobia. He said: “A mayor from a small city and his “husband”, a child who grew up with nothing and his parents kicked him out…it makes a perfect political story for the campaign. To me that’s very sad. If that’s all you have to stand on, you’re not fit to be president of the United States.”
After the appearance on “The View,” Rhyan tweeted:: “Pete misuses scripture to fit his own political agenda, such as in the case of advocating for abortion. This is disturbing and I think he needs to be held accountable for that. Pete’s thoughts on abortion are extreme and evil.”
Buttigieg is twisting God’s word to advance a political agenda that is antithetical to biblical Christianity. While most Democrats have been reluctant to speak about their faith, Buttigieg, who claims to be an Episcopalian, makes it a point to highlight religion in politics, along with his Midwestern roots and military service. While Pete can come across as reasonable and even charming when he talks about social and cultural issues, “he is guided by a worldview at odds with God’s Word.” His liberal politics definitely align with those of the Episcopal Church, which has taken public stands against the historic teachings of Christianity on a host of social issues, including ordaining homosexuals, actively supporting LGBT causes, and opposing legislation that would restrict abortion. So, it is not surprising that he argues that the “Christian faith is going to point you in a progressive direction.“ By “Christian faith,” Buttigieg means something very different than what Christians have taught and believed for two millennia…about both the nature of marriage and life…and about the role of Scripture.
We pray:
- That Pete, an only child who shared a close relationship with his father and called him a “man of the left”, will be freed from his generational Marxist influence, a denominational mindset that is at odds with God, and the perverse spirit that has total control of him.
Buttigieg has a distorted understanding of the Bible. He rejects the clarity of Scripture, and remakes and reinterprets the Christian faith to suit his preferences and beliefs, which bear little resemblance to the authentic! Political talking points, not Scripture, inform his life view. As the 2020 election gets underway, it will be important for Christians to engage, but biblically. This requires prayerful consideration of candidates, party platforms, and most importantly, the Bible’s teaching on moral issues. If Christians are going to be faithful in a time of political turmoil and confusion, it will require more, not less, commitment to God’s Word.
We pray:
- Choosing a flauntingly proud “married” gay man to run for president, let alone become president, would contribute to the further degeneration and moral confusion of our society. We ask that that would be blocked in whatever way You decide, Lord, and let it be an example of Your power and authority being exercised in this situation!
We praise God that President Trump does not flaunt the mistakes of his “ pre-Christian” past. When a tape of some inappropriate comments became public, he said, “I’ve never said I’m a perfect person, nor pretended to be someone that I’m not. I’ve said and done things I regret, and the words released today on this more than a decade-old video are one of them. Anyone who knows me knows these words don’t reflect who I am. I said it, I was wrong and I apologize… I pledge to be a better man tomorrow and will never, ever let you down.”
In stark contrast, Buttigieg has bragged about how his homosexual relationship to his “husband” has brought him closer to God, he’s kissed his “partner” at public rallies, and he is pushing and advocating openly for homosexuality, not apologizing for it. His candidacy serves to further “normalizes” homosexual relationships in the eyes of Americans…and marginalizes those who believe that these relationships are contrary to God’s Word. The aggressive, gay agenda systematically undermines Biblical morals. Seeking to silence all dissenting voices, it has become a huge threat to our religious and moral freedoms. Its aggressive agenda will only be fueled with great intensity by an openly gay president. While reaching out to individuals with compassion, we must resist the agenda of one who would flaunt his “husband” being the country’s first “first gentleman.”
We pray:
- Lord, help us to see what is happening and sound the alarm in advance, recognizing that To avoid it is to pave the way for our own demise as God-fearing people and nation! We exalt your Word, praying…
“Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites,
nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.”
