1-712-770-4340   Code:  543555 #

We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!

“The Lord called Samuel, and he answered, “Here I am!” (Hineni!)

1 Samuel 3:4

We sing: Here I am, Lord  

I the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard My people cry. All who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save.

I have made the stars of night. I will make their darkness bright.

Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send?

Refrain

Here I am Lord. Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart!

I the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame. I will set a feast for them, My hand will save.

Finest bread I will provide, ‘til their hearts be satisfied. I will give My life to them. Whom shall I send?

Refrain

Here I am Lord. Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night.

I will go Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart!

  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,  and not be provoked to go to war with Iran or any other nation!

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: 286 days until the election! 

Let us pray into this verse:

“Speak, Lord, for Your servant is listening.”

1 Samuel 3:9

Strategic Focus for Thursday 

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

Impeachment Trial / Sham – Day 3 

“I sought for a man among them who would make a wall, and stand in the gap before Me on behalf of the land, that I should not destroy it”

Ezekiel 22:30

Having read both of today’s scripture verses from 1 Samuel, we pause to lift up our President, who has just returned from the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.  As President of the United States, he engaged in meetings with leaders and power brokers from the nations…some friends, others not!  As God’s servant, he brought a message of hope, expectation and optimism to the nations, citing the blessings that have been received by our nation, and encouraging other leaders to work on behalf of their nations, so that each one might be secure,  unhindered by those who would seek to manipulate them for their own gain!  

As President Trump concluded his time at the WEF, the verse from Ezekiel 22 took on particular meaning. He is a man who understands the critical need for boundaries and protection of borders, one who is willing to stand in the gap, seeking what is right…and righteous…not only for our nation…but for other nations as well! 

He started the day at breakfast with a group of American Chief Executive Officers and Business Leaders, then engaged in two bilateral meetings: first with Masoud Barzani, the President of Kurdistan and then with Barham Salih, the President of Iraq. (who also happens to be the former Prime Minister of the Kurdistan Region). 

Newt Gingrich, the former Speaker of the House, said that President Trump’s visit to the WEF was a “bigger triumph than anyone could possibly have imagined a year ago. First, the counter-staging of President Trump landing at Davos while the Senate began the trial over his phony impeachment was a Reagan-quality move.  The vitriolic dialogue of Trump haters versus the cheers of Trump supporters as he delivered a major speech to the world’s economic leaders was a compelling contrast! Second, the story the President shared was an extraordinary contrast to the problems of his colleagues around the world. The strength of the American economy, the remarkably low unemployment rate, and the job-creating achievements among the African-American and Latino communities represent a dramatic challenge to the leaders of countries with massive unemployment and underemployment.  Third, once again President Trump gave an important, principled speech that was worthy of the leader of the biggest economy and most powerful military in the world…and it is worth reading both of his Davos speeches to see how he is explaining the principles behind our economic strength to other leaders – so they might follow the same path to prosperity.  The President then explained his own optimism – and the results: “Yet despite all of the cynics, I have never been more confident in America’s future. I knew we were on the verge of a profound economic resurgence, if we did things right – one that would generate a historic wave of investment, wage growth and job creation. I knew that if we unleashed the potential of our people if we cut taxes, slashed regulations – and we did that at a level that’s never been done before in the history of our country, in a short period of time fixed broken trade deals and fully tapped American energy – that prosperity would come thundering back at a record speed. And that is exactly what we did, and that is exactly what happened.”  INSPIRING indeed!

A little after 1 PM (7 PM ET) Swiss local time, the President departed Zurich en route to Washington, DC, arriving at Joint Base Andrews in time to be back at the White House around 5 PM ET. We are happy to have him home!

We pray:

• Thank You for bringing our President home safely and for the successful trip to the WEF.
• We bless You, Lord, for Your Presence in his life and for how he spoke HOPE to the nation’s leaders, inspiring them! 
• That due to those final meetings with leaders from highly sensitive regions, the time and discussions he had with them will open doors and enable them to enter into arenas where positive results from their negotiations can be achieved. 
• That You will create new levels of civil discourse in the global arena, ones that will lead to resolutions in areas of their conflict so that peace and prosperity will be available to the peoples of the world!

While President Trump was on the world stage, saying: “Today I’m proud to declare the United States is in the midst of an economic boom, the likes of which the world has never seen before”  and vowing that he would never let “radical socialists destroy our economy”…members of the Senate sat in silence throughout what was a day of monotonous proceedings. Despite their partisan zeal to oust this President – one they fear will be reelected – House Democrats have failed to meet the constitutional requirements to impeach…and they are going to lose!

Early Wednesday morning, a little after midnight, as the day’s session of the impeachment trial was ending in the Senate, Chief Justice John Roberts spoke up to admonish “both sides” to respect the Chamber in which they were speaking! A confrontation had arisen when Representative Jerry Nadler (D-NY) accused Senate Republicans of “voting for a cover-up”. This transpired after House Managers / Democrat Prosecutors had engaged in hours and hours of debate over a long series of trial-rules amendments, which had been proposed by Minority Leader Chuck Schumer. 

• Each of these proposals called for permitting testimony from new witnesses or the release of documents. 
• Each of them went down… in turn…defeated by party-line votes of 53-47.

We pray:

• In gratitude for every single defeat that has been incurred by those who are willfully serving the purposes of evil in attempting to destroy this President and this nation! Keep it up, Lord! Keep it up! 
• We say “NO!” to them and all their plans! We say “YES, LORD! YES!” to Your will for us and to the destiny You have purposed for us and for our nation, which no man or group or demonic force can thwart!   

After “controlling the mic” and refusing to give Republicans a voice in the impeachment proceedings in the House, Democrats have relentlessly attempted to continue controlling the trial process in the Senate. In the “middle of the muddle” taking place in DC, it’s refreshing to finally hear the President’s defenders being allowed to defend him, giving them a voice to speak truth to the nation, and to put “the minions of darkness” in their place!   Proverbs 18:17 (NLT) speaks directly to this!

“The first to speak in court sounds right…until the cross-examination begins.”

While the House leadership kept President Trump from presenting any defense prior to the impeachment vote in the House, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has allowed the evidence which was already gathered to be presented…nothing more. He said the Senate will follow the guidelines from the Clinton impeachment trial, the rules of which will “put fairness, evenhandedness and historical precedent ahead of partisan passions.”  Although House Democrats wanted to admit additional evidence and witnesses during the Senate trial, that is not how the process works. Constitutionally, there is a clear delineation of duties: 

• The House is tasked to gather all evidence and present Articles of Impeachment it to the Senate
• The Senate then is charged to listen to evidence and arguments supporting the Articles and then vote. 
• Both sides now have 24 hours to make their case over 3 days, presenting whatever evidence the Articles of Impeachment were based on…and then a vote will be taken.

We pray:

• For righteousness and justice to remain the standards by which this trial will be held!  We declare that no weapon designed to prevent the complete exoneration of our President will prevail… GOD’s  WILL will! 

At this hour, unbeknownst to many citizens who are either asleep, disinterested or disengaged, a battle is being 

waged for the very soul of America. This time in our nation’s history is reminiscent of what the Jews of Esther’s 

time experienced when “the king’s decree gave the Jews in every city authority to unite to defend their lives.”  Esther 8:11 

This is one of the most politically vicious processes we have ever seen. It is not just a personal attack on our President, but is an attack on every patriot who stands for truth, justice and righteousness as the Constitution dictates and our Founding Fathers intended.  

“When the Godly are in authority, the people rejoice. But when the wicked are in power, they groan.”

Proverbs 29:2

As we continue to pray for our President, we also pray for those who are principles in this trial:  

• The President  Pray.
• Chief Justice Roberts  Pray.
• The President’s legal team and all those contributing to his defense   Pray.
• “We, the  People”   Pray.

While so much of our attention is being focused on a “sham” impeachment, one of our facilitators, Mary Ellen (IL) reminds us to continue to pray for our nation’s security, in particular at our borders!  She recently spoke to an ICE Agent, who said he gets called to our Southern Border frequently, and that he is shot at all the time. She thanked him for his service, and said that we pray for them on the 24/7 NSPC;  he was deeply appreciative.

We pray: 

• Lord,  we stand on the wall and pray for our nation, and for those who are protecting us on our borders! Thank You for prompting us to pray for  ICE and border agents! We bless and lift them to You today!
