Wednesday, April 10, 2019 – 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 #
We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call.
We are taking measures to protect and defend our 24/7 family and this call. At the top of every hour,
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 the call and our 24/7 family!
*The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our President and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for the protection of our President Donald Trump and cover him with the Blood of Jesus.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their young son Barron and each of their family members.
We cover our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those in this Administration who are serving You and our nation!”
The 24/7 NSPC is calling the Body of Christ nationwide to pray for the 2020 National Elections,
mobilizing intercessors and positioning ourselves in prayer before the Lord
on behalf of our President and nation!
COUNTDOWN: 574 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you…”
1 Peter 3:15

The “spirit of mammon” – Part 4 – Interceding for those serving on the FED
“You shall not have in your bag differing weights, a heavy and a light.
You shall not have in your house differing measures, a large and a small.
You shall have a perfect and just weight, a perfect and just measure,
that your days may be lengthened in the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
For all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to the Lord your God.”
Deuteronomy 25:13-16
The verse above is just one of many, in which God expresses the value He places on integrity. It also tells the consequences of behaving dishonestly! “Integrity” is defined as “the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles”…it also involves truthfulness, nobility and virtue! (There’s that word VIRTUE again!)
As we continue our study of the Federal Reserve System and intercede for those who are serving on FED Board of Governors, we’ll recognize just how critical that integrity/virtue is in the arena of finances and economics. Remember the story of the butcher who cheated his customers when he was weighing out their meat, by using his thumb to apply extra pressure on the scale, thus raising the price of the sale? God tells us that “all who do such things, all who behave unrighteously, are an abomination to Him!” We are to love righteousness as He does…and do it!!!!
We live in a world full of “systems” (structures, organizations, complexes, networks, institutions). These systems can either lead us toward or away from GOD! Scripture tells us that we are in this world but are not “of” it! We are IN CHRIST…and our challenge is to learn how to abide in Him, so that, through His grace, we can navigate the storms that accompany our worldly systems, without succumbing to the influences of evil that accompany them. When dealing in the areas of finances and our national economy, that means understanding how the “spirit of mammon” operates, what structures it works through, and how it strives to maintain influence and control as the ruling evil principality over the US.
We pray:
- That as a people, we will say “NO!” to the love and worship of mammon and “YES!” to GOD Alone!
The individuals who serve on the Federal Reserve Board of Governors are operating in a “system”…a world system…one that is also a spiritual structure under the influence and control of the “spirit of mammon”! These individuals are not elected, they are selected! They serve in a government agency and are some of the most powerful decision-makers in “the economic wheelhouse” of our ship of state!
We pray:
- That each one who serves on the FED Board will have a healthy attitude about how to “use” money, and not be used by it! That they will be gifted by God with a Biblical understanding:
“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.”
1 Timothy 6:10
