Saturday, February 19, 2022 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 # (Ongoing call…24 hours a day!)
We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“The Lord is my rock and my fortress and my deliverer;
My God, my strength, in whom I will trust;
My shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.”
Psalm 18:2
We sing: A Mighty Fortress is our God
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing;
Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing.
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe;
His craft and pow’r are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing.
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He;
Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us.
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, for our First Lady, Melania, and their marriage
and for all the members of their family. We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit, so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation.
Pray.
That as the REDEMPTION of the AMERICAN REPUBLIC takes place, those leaders that God anoints and appoints will take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Saturday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE REDEMPTION OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC – Part 50
“I proclaim the name of the Lord: Ascribe greatness to our God.
He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice,
A God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He.”
Deuteronomy 32:3-4
Yesterday, we heard about the truckers situation from the Beckers in Germany, and today, one of our US pastors, Jim Garlow, has released this message concerning what he is experiencing as he interacts with the truckers in Ottawa, CANADA who are taking part in the FREEDOM CONVOY, taking a stand for all of us, demanding we be free of the unconstitutional vax mandates! Let us read and pray into excerpts of his remarks.
I CAN NOT PUT INTO WORDS WHAT JUST HAPPENED. I have been making calls to the guys on the front line of the Canadian truckers event – a spiritual revival – in my understanding.
One of those I called was Harold Jonker, one of the truck drivers and co-owner of Jonker Trucking Company of Canada. He took my call, but he did not say a word, because they were praising the Lord. The truckers were standing before Parliament, singing “A Mighty Fortress is our God.” I had to choke back tears as I listened. I wish I had recorded it. Imagine with me, if you would, a group of truckers singing these words, knowing that their political leader had just taken action that could freeze all their bank funds, making it impossible for them to even make a purchase. Pray.
Here is what I heard these brave warriors singing, verse after verse, the powerful song,” A Mighty Fortress is Our God:” (Let’s sing our opening song again, holding those freedom fighters close to our hearts…and realizing that our US truckers are next in line!) Sing.
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; Our helper He, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing:
For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; His craft and pow’r are great, and, armed with cruel hate,
On earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing,
Were not the right Man on our side, the Man of God’s own choosing:
Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is He; Lord Sabaoth, His Name, from age to age the same,
And He must win the battle.
And though this world, with devils filled, should threaten to undo us,
We will not fear, for God hath willed His truth to triumph through us;
The Prince of Darkness grim, we tremble not for him; his rage we can endure, for lo, his doom is sure,
One little word shall fell him.
That word above all earthly pow’rs, no thanks to them, abideth;
The Spirit and the gifts are ours through Him Who with us sideth;
Let goods and kindred go, this mortal life also; the body they may kill: God’s truth abideth still,
His kingdom is forever.
I cannot describe what it was like hearing these saints of God, within harm’s way (thanks to Trudeau), singing confidently, “for still our ancient foe, doth seek to work us woe,” or “were not the right Man on our side…” followed by “Dost ask who that may be, Christ Jesus, it is He,” or “we tremble not for him (“the Prince of Darkness”), followed by “His rage we can endure,” or “the body they may kill; God’s truth abideth still.” It was momentous. Pray.
A bit of trivia…or irony…or is it “Providence?” I had told Harold a few days ago that I had gone online and discovered that his father, who started their family trucking business, was named “George Jonker.” My graduate degrees are in church history. In 1521, when Martin Luther was being hidden from the authorities who were trying to kill him for standing for truth after his famous “I will not recant. Here I stand. I can do no other” speech at the Diet (dispute or debating assembly) of Worms (pronounced VORMES), his friends “kidnapped” him (literally, without his consent) to protect him from the plan by authorities to kill him. They forcibly took him to the castle in Wartburg, where, in confinement, he translated the Bible from Erasmus’ Greek text into the common language of the German people (Low German), giving them a Bible that they could understand for the first time. Pray.
Here is the purpose of this story: While they held Luther, he grew a long beard to make him less recognizable as he moved about, and they also gave him an “alias”. His new name was “Junker Jorg” (or “George”). In some European countries, the last name is said first. So “George Jonker” (Harold’s truck driving father) would become “Junker (Germanic spelling) George.”
I’ll add more regarding the “Martin Luther connection.” The song “A Mighty Fortress is Our God,” which Jonker and his truck driving friends were singing, is based on Psalm 46. When Luther nailed the “95 Theses” on the door of the university church in Wittenberg, Germany on October 31, 1517, it touched off the Protestant (“protest”) Reformation. It was at the base of a large Gothic tower with a rounded dome and spires pointing towards heaven, on which the words are engraved at the top, “Ein Feste Burg ist Unser Gott, Ein Gute Wehr und Waffen”…the opening words Luther‘s hymn, “A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing.” Pray.
When the Canadian truckers finished singing that great hymn, written in 1528, they continued with “Amazing Grace.” I could hear them singing, “through many dangers, toils and snares, I have already come…” From that, they proceeded directly into “The Doxology,” which begins with the words, “Praise God from whom all blessings flow.” Praising God! Their “emperor-czar’ had just suspended the law of the land, taking away their Constitutional rights. Pray.
When the singing stopped, we talked. In all that is happening in Canada, with all its uncertainty caused by Trudeau’s ominous fiats, they are at peace, even joyous. In typical Canadian serenity, he calmly explained, “We are going about our day.”
We have read in history about the heroes of history. We now have a chance to watch some. Someday we will tell our grandchildren, “I was watching. I remember when God miraculously raised up a group of Canadian truckers to save the world from despotism and tyranny.” Pray.

Freedom always comes at a price, and many in Canada are now suffering persecution because of their stand for freedom and righteousness. Bobby (WI) sent this information, representative of what one pastor who is standing with the truckers is having to deal with. Pastor Artur Pawlowski has been “the tip of the spear” in the fight for religious freedom in Canada and one of the strongest voices challenging the ongoing COVID restrictions in this country. He was at a demonstration at the Coutts border blockade in southern Alberta, where he gave a sermon to truckers gathered there, telling them to hold the line. That led to a dramatic arrest at his home on February 8th, where he was charged under Alberta’s Critical Infrastructure Defense Act, for allegedly abetting the Coutts trucker blockade. He has been at the Calgary Remand Center, in solitary confinement, under terrible conditions, ever since. He was taken to court in Calgary, where he was denied bail and told he was to remain in pretrial custody indefinitely. The court has deemed that Pastor Artur “poses an ongoing risk to society” and must remain locked up until his case is decided at his upcoming court appearance on March 11th. (Reminiscent of those jailed after the January 6th protest in DC. ) Pray.
We pray:
- Lord, we lift up our trucker neighbors to the North, our Canadian brothers and sisters who are resisting the tyranny of Trudeau. Protect and defend them and their families as they continue to stand against this evil being done in our sister nation! Pray.
- That as this battle comes to our land, Americans will take their places, standing against the unjust mandates as the Canadians are now. Let us stand as ONE… united for FREEDOM! Pray.
- Protect our nation from being drawn into another war, and flood the nations with Your peace so they will find solutions to the issues causing them to come against one another! Pray.
- That our homes will get in order so that they might be places for the Lord’s HABITATION and sanctuaries for others! Pray.
- That we will joyfully release the LOVE of GOD from our hearts over this nation. Pray.
