Thursday, April 1, 2021 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
THE LAST SUPPER – HOLY THURSDAY
“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!
“For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body…whether Jews or Greeks, whether slaves or free…
and have all been made to drink into one Spirit.”
1 Corinthians 12:13
We sing: We Are One Body
We are one Body, one Body in Christ, and we do not stand alone!
We are one Body, one Body in Christ, and He came that we might have life!
When you eat My Body and you drink My Blood, I will live in you and you will live in My love.
When you eat my body and you drink my blood, I will live in you and you will live in My love.
We are one Body, one Body in Christ, and we do not stand alone!
We are one Body, one Body in Christ, and He came that we might have life!
Can you hear them crying, can you feel their pain? Will you feed My hungry, will you help My lame?
See the unborn baby, the forgotten one, they are not forsaken, they are not unloved.
We are one Body, one Body in Christ, and we do not stand alone!
We are one Body, one Body in Christ, and He came that we might have life!
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life, I am the Final Sacrifice,
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life; He who believes in Me will have eternal life.
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life, I am the Final Sacrifice,
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life; He who believes in Me will have eternal life.
We are one Body, one Body in Christ, and we do not stand alone!
We are one Body, one Body in Christ, and He came that we might have life!

We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
We ask that in every situation and decision, President Trump will be led by the Holy Spirit!
Pray.
The 24/7 NSPC continues to stand for righteousness and justice in our nation,
and together, we affirm Donald Trump as our duly elected President!
Pray.
We bless our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family.
Pray.
We pray that the evil actions of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris will be exposed

Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE LAST SUPPER – HOLY THURSDAY
“On the night when He was betrayed took bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it, and said,
“This is My body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of Me.”
In the same way also He took the cup, after supper, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in My blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
1 Corinthians 11:23-25
Today is Thursday of HOLY WEEK, known by the names: Holy Thursday and Maundy Thursday…”maundy” being a shortened form of mandatum (Latin), which means “command.” It was on the Thursday of Jesus’ crucifixion, death, and resurrection that He said to His disciples.
“A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another:
just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another”
John 13:34
With those words, He raised the definition of love to a new and higher standard and sacrificially met His followers’ deepest need…that of new spiritual life…in which He calls us to show love to those who don’t appear to deserve it.
Today, we observe Holy Thursday, and along with congregations around the world, commemorate Jesus’ institution of the Lord’s Supper during the Seder / Passover meal.
We pray:
- That as we accompany our Lord on this journey through Holy Week…from the Last Supper, through Gethsemane, to Calvary, then on through the “tomb time” on Saturday and onto Resurrection Day, our experience will be life-changing as “we remember, we celebrate, we believe!” Pray.
In these times of great uncertainty, God’s Word is the place to which we can turn for strength. Having placed our trust in Him, those who are a part of the Body of Christ refuse to entertain the spirit of fear that has terrorized our nation! As Covid has swept through the world, taking thousands of lives, causing multitudes to be sick, and putting the nations in quarantine…what we used to consider as “normal life” is no more. Yet, those who are in Christ will arise in the midst of the turmoil, to stand before Him…AGLOW AND BURNING with HOLY FIRE!
We pray:
- That as the FIRE OF GOD burns continuously on the altars of our hearts, sparks from that FIRE will ignite the hearts of those who have been prepared to hear and receive the TRUTH we will share! Pray.
We’ve all heard people say: “I can’t wait to get back to normal.” Mario Murillo says that’s the wrong way to look at things. Instead, we should use the word “reclaim…” and go beyond “wanting to get back to normal” to where we confess: “I am going to reclaim where I would have been if none of this had happened!”
We are grieved to see so many who are jobless and desperate, the multitudes of children who have been out of school for over a year and have fallen behind their peers, the congregations that had stopped meeting and are now struggling to reopen their doors. Local restaurants, stores, health clubs, beauty salons and other places that we took for granted are closed and may never reopen! Multitudes stare out their windows at a “strange new world”…with no idea of when or if things will ever “return to normal”. Yet, our destiny in Christ is too big to be stopped by any of that.
We pray:
- That while so many in the world seem to be losing hope, those who know You will continue to herald Your coming and call people to prepare their hearts so they will be ready to meet You when you come, Lord. Pray.
As we examine the condition of our nation, the spiritual impoverishment of our people is clear! Having proclaimed ourselves to be “one nation under God,” it is sad to see so many who have, as Abraham Lincoln noted, “forgotten God.” In the midst of our worst trials, we need Him the most…it’s time that we return to Him!
“Come, and let us return to the Lord; for He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight.
Let us know, let us pursue the knowledge of the Lord.
His going forth is established as the morning;
He will come to us like the rain, like the latter and former rain to the earth.”
Hosea 6:1-3
Pray.
The Holy Spirit gave Mario a warning to pass on to every child of God, telling us that if we had a dream, a vision, were about to start college, or start a business, or get married or start a family, write a book, build a building, get a patent on a new invention, or launch out in vibrant ministry for Christ…and then the world seemed to come to an end…REMEMBER…our God-given vision and dream are not beholden to human circumstances.
The Bible that contains the accounts of people who stopped plagues raised the dead, and blinded armies aren’t going to cut us any slack. SO DO NOT THROW TOMORROW AWAY, RECLAIM OUR TOMORROWS.”
Pray.
- Ignore the present reality that is screaming at us that none of those dreams will ever come true.
- Refuse to downgrade our hopes and dreams to a “new normal.”
- Never agree to adapt to a shadow existence. That is a lethal lie from the pit of hell!
Let this message be the electrode paddles that will kick-start our visionary hearts once again.
GOD IS COMMANDING YOU: DO NOT THROW TOMORROW AWAY!
GOD HAS NEVER CHANGED HIS MIND. RECLAIM YOUR FUTURE!
We pray:
- Lord, as we walk through this time of remembering Your passion, death and resurrection, we cry out for mercy for our nation! With confidence in Your Word to “reclaim our future”, we declare the return of everything that has been either lost or stolen… and we wait in joyful expectation to see it restored. Pray.
Romans 3:3 asks a burning question, “What if some were unfaithful? Does their faithlessness nullify the faithfulness of God?” NO! So why would a believer even consider giving up losing faith…all because of a virus? It doesn’t make sense. A crisis like this is what our faith is there for! Pray.
“Sanctify yourselves, for tomorrow the Lord will work wonders among you.”
Joshua 3:5
“Sanctify” means “to set apart as or declare holy; to consecrate.” Translated for this hour: it’s time to train, prepare, pray, study and write the vision plainly so we can run with it. Blow on those fading embers and bring them back into a roaring flame! Be aglow and burning with the spirit! This crisis will eventually pass, and our prayer is that we will never regret what we might have done during “such a time as this!” GOD HAS NOT CHANGED HIS MIND ABOUT OUR FUTURE! IT’S TIME TO RECLAIM IT! Pray.
To unite our hearts with all those commemorating Jesus’ institution of Holy Communion during the Last Supper, we will take communion together each hour today.
Lord Jesus, You are the Way, the Truth, the Life…You are the Final Sacrifice… and You came that we might have life!
As we eat Your Body and we drink Your Blood, You will live in us and we will live in Your love.
