Thursday, January 9, 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!
“But gives grace to the humble. Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
Draw near to God and He will draw near to you.”
James 4:6-8
We sing:
Draw me close to You, never let me go.
I lay it all down again to hear You say that I’m Your friend.
You are my desire, no one else will do,
‘Cause nothing else can take Your place, to feel the warmth of Your embrace,
help me find my way, bring me back to You.
You’re all I want, You’re all I’ve ever needed,
You’re all I want, help me know You are near.
Help me know You are near.

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: 300 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. ”
Isaiah 55:6
Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
THE LORD IS NEAR
“The Lord is near to all who call upon Him, to all who call upon Him in truth.
He will fulfill the desire of those who fear Him; He also will hear their cry and save them.”
Psalm 145:18-19
What simple words…”near” and “close”… defined as “at hand, not far off, within reach, within earshot, within sight, at close quarters, alongside”. As the missiles were flying into Iraq on Tuesday evening, intercessors across the nation were drawing close to the Lord, and confidant that He was near, we prayed a hedge of protection around our President, our people, our military and our nation! We sought the Lord, our prayers were heard, and He answered us! No lives were lost and our President used great restraint, responding to the situation by the leading of the Holy Spirit, not allowing himself to be provoked into going to war with Iran…(as we have prayed in our focuses, at the top of every hour.)
We pray:
- In gratitude for the relationship, You have allowed us to have with You, Lord…for the quiet confidence and deep trust we have in You, even in the midst of the storms of life! Pray.
- Thank You for warning us before the storm came, and for giving us the grace, the courage, and the words to pray for our nation safely through it. Pray.
- We bless You for Your SHALOM, that enveloped and pervaded us continuously, as we stood our watch and interceded with ONE VOICE… for PEACE! Pray.
- We thank You for the way that You guided President Trump, through this crisis…and onto a path of peace!
On Wednesday morning, when President Trump addressed the nation about the Iranian missile strikes on Iraqi bases which were housing US troops, he was flanked by his cabinet members and military advisors, people for whom we had prayed! In taking the path he chose, he honored God, avoided war and kept the door open for future discussions re: the situation in the Middle East!
Today, as we read excerpts from the President’s remarks, we stand with him in the Spirit, to undergird and affirm his words! After each portion is read, invite participants to offer a 30-60 second prayer.

“As long as I’m President of the United States, Iran will never be allowed to have a nuclear weapon.” Pray.
“…the American people should be extremely grateful and happy. No Americans were harmed in last night’s attack by the Iranian regime. We suffered no casualties. All of our soldiers are safe and only minimal damage was sustained at our military bases. Our great American forces are prepared for anything. Iran appears to be standing down, which is a good thing for all parties concerned and…for the world. No American or Iraqi lives were lost because of the precautions taken, the dispersal of forces and an early warning system that worked very well. I salute the incredible skill and courage of America’s men and women in uniform”. Pray.
“For far too long, all the way back to 1979 to be exact, nations have tolerated Iran’s destructive, destabilizing behavior in the Middle East and beyond. Those days are over. Iran has been the leading sponsor of terrorism and their pursuit of nuclear weapons threatens the civilized world. We will never let that happen.” Pray.
“Last week, we took decisive action to stop a ruthless terrorist from threatening American lives. At my direction, the United States military eliminated the world’s top terrorist, Qassem Soleimani. As the head of the Quds force, Soleimani was personally responsible for some of the…worst atrocities. He trained terrorist armies, including Hezbollah, launching terrorist strikes against civilian targets. He fueled bloody civil wars all across the region. He viciously wounded and murdered thousands of US troops, including the planting of roadside bombs that maim and dismember their victims. Soleimani directed the recent attacks on US personnel in Iraq that badly wounded four service members and killed one American, and he orchestrated the violent assault on the US embassy in Baghdad. In recent days, he was planning new attacks on American targets, but we stopped him. Soleimani’s hands were drenched in both American and Iranian blood. He should have been terminated long ago. By removing Soleimani we have sent a powerful message to terrorists: if you value your own life, you will not threaten the lives of our people.” Pray.
“As we continue to evaluate options in response to Iranian aggression, the United States will immediately impose additional punishing economic sanctions on the Iranian regime. These powerful sanctions will remain until Iran changes its behavior. In recent months alone, Iran has seized ships in international waters, fired an unprovoked strike on Saudi Arabia, and shot down two US drones. Iran’s hostilities substantially increased after the foolish Iran nuclear deal was signed in 2013, and they were given $150 billion, not to mention $1.8 billion in cash. Instead of saying “thank you” to the United States, they chanted “death to America”. In fact, they chanted “death to America” the day the agreement was signed. Then Iran went on a terrorist spree, funded by the money from the deal, and created hell in Yemen, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan, and Iraq. The missiles fired last night at us and our allies were paid for with the funds made available by the last administration.” Pray.
“The regime also greatly tightened the reins on their own country. Even recently, killing 1,500 people at the many protests that are taking place all throughout Iran. The very defective JCPOA (Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action / Iran Nuclear deal) ) expires shortly…and gives Iran a clear and quick path to nuclear breakout. Iran must abandon its nuclear ambitions and end its support for terrorism.” Pray.
“The time has come for the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia, and China to recognize this reality. They must now break away from the remnants of the Iran deal. We must all work together toward making a deal with Iran that makes the world a safer and more peaceful place. We must also make a deal that allows Iran to thrive and prosper and take advantage of its enormous untapped potential. Iran can be a great country. Peace and stability cannot prevail in the Middle East as long as Iran continues to foment violence, unrest, hatred, and war. The civilized world must send a clear and unified message to the Iranian regime: your campaign of terror, murder, mayhem will not be tolerated any longer. It will not be allowed to go forward.” Pray.
“Today, I am going to ask NATO to become much more involved in the Middle East process. Over the last three years under my leadership, our economy is stronger than ever before and America’s achieved energy independence. This historic accomplishment shades our strategic priorities. These are accomplishments that nobody thought were possible and options in the Middle East became available. We are now the number one producer of oil and natural gas anywhere in the world. We are independent and we do not need Middle East oil. The American military has been completely rebuilt under my administration at a cost of $ 2.5 trillion. US armed forces are stronger than ever before. Our missiles are big, powerful, accurate, lethal, and fast. Under construction are many hypersonic missiles. The fact that we have this great military and equipment, however, does not mean we have to use it. We do not want to use it. American strength, both military and economic, is the best deterrent.” Pray.
“Three months ago, after destroying 100% of ISIS and its territorial caliphate, we killed the savage leader of ISIS, Al-Baghdadi, who is responsible for so much death, including the mass beheadings of Christians, Muslims, and all who stood in his way. He was a monster. Al-Baghdadi was trying to rebuild the ISIS caliphate and failed. Tens of thousands of ISIS fighters have been killed or captured during my administration. ISIS is a natural enemy of Iran. The destruction of ISIS is good for Iran. And we should work together on this and other shared priorities.” Pray.
“Finally, to the people and leaders of Iran, we want you to have a future and a great future, one that you deserve, one of prosperity at home in harmony. With the nations of the world, the United States is ready to embrace peace with all who seek it. Thank you and God bless America.” Pray.
Let us offer a corporate prayer for all that the Lord has done through our President and his Cabinet and military advisors in this situation! Pray.

ENCOURAGEMENT: One of our 24/7 intercessors, Ydia (FL), had a vision of the outline of a map of the United States, on which all our borders were protected by Warrior Angels, 7 feet tall, with shields and swords. Every other one was looking in a different direction. When she asked why, she was told that some were protecting us from the enemies outside and the others from the enemies inside.
~~~~~
Special Prayer Point: Lord, we ask specifically for removal of the blockage that is holding up the petition filed by Pastor Ioan that will allow his son Filip Peia to receive his green card to stay in the USA after he graduates! Pray.

Hineni, Adonai! Here I am, Lord!

Note: We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call. If at any time, it is necessary, the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss, then pray a shield of protection over this line and our 24/7 family!
