Saturday, April 19, 2025 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call HOLY SATURDAY
“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD” Tomb Time
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 # (Ongoing call…24 hours a day!)
We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil,
to give you a future and a hope.
Then you will call upon Me and go and pray to Me, and I will listen to you.
And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart.”
Jeremiah 29:11-13
We sing: Sovereign Over Us
There is strength within the sorrow, there is beauty in our tears,
and You meet us in our mourning with a love that casts out fear.
You are working in our waiting, You’re sanctifying us.
When beyond our understanding, You’re teaching us to trust.
Your plans are still to prosper, You have not forgotten us. You’re with us in the fire and the flood.
You’re faithful forever, perfect in love. You are sovereign over us!
You are wisdom unimagined, who could understand Your ways.
Reigning high above the Heavens, reaching down in endless grace,
You’re the lifter of the lowly, compassionate and kind.
You surround and You uphold me and Your promises are my delight.
Your plans are still to prosper, You have not forgotten us. You’re with us in the fire and the flood.
You’re faithful forever, perfect in love. You are sovereign over us!
Even what the enemy means for evil, You turn it for our good, You turn it for our good and for Your glory.
Even in the valley, You are faithful, You’re working for our good,
You’re working for our good and for Your glory
Even what the enemy means for evil, You turn it for our good, You turn it for our good and for Your glory.
Even in the valley, You are faithful, You’re working for our good,
You’re working for our good and for Your glory
Your plans are still to prosper, You have not forgotten us. You’re with us in the fire and the flood.
You’re faithful forever, perfect in love. You are sovereign over us!
Your plans are still to prosper, You have not forgotten us. You’re with us in the fire and the flood.
You’re faithful forever, perfect in love, You are sovereign over us!
You’re faithful forever, perfect in love, You are sovereign over us!

For us to receive and put on the Ephesians 6 “full armor of God” as we begin each hour,
that we might be protected as we continue to “stand in the gap” for our beloved country!
Pray.
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 his protection and ask that he be led by the Holy Spirit
so that he will discern truth and act for the good of the nation.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage and family, and cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For those leaders that God has anointed, appointed, and elected,
as they take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
May they work together to clean up corruption in our government and restore our electoral system.
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump,
focusing our prayers against any demonic attacks against his physical body,
so that he will remain in good health, able to serve his entire 4-year term as our 47th US President!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Saturday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ENGAGING IN A WARFARE OF LOVE, PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF OUR NATION
AND THE RESTORATION OF OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES – PART 90
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving,
let your requests be made known to God;
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Philippians 4:6-7
The passion, crucifixion, and death of Jesus Christ had taken place. His body was removed from the cross and laid in a borrowed tomb. Evening came, the sun had set, and darkness covered not only the land, but the hearts and minds of those who had loved and followed Him. We, today, can read the phrase from Philippians: “Be anxious for nothing” …and since we’ve read “the rest of the story,” we understand that what took place on that Good Friday had to happen…but Sunday was coming. The disciples didn’t have the benefit of our understanding, hence, they fully experienced the “tomb time” of Holy Saturday. Pray.
“Something strange is happening – there is a great silence on earth today, a great silence and stillness.
The whole earth keeps silence because the King is asleep.
The earth trembled and is still, because God has fallen asleep in the flesh,
and He has raised up all who have slept ever since the world began.
God has died in the flesh and hell trembles with fear.”
(from an ancient homily on Holy Saturday used in the monastic tradition)
Pray.
Observing Holy Saturday, we have an opportunity to enter “the soundless, solemn peace of Christ asleep.”Such a pause doesn’t seem to be in our nature. What does it take to be stopped in our tracks, to sit down and be silent? Do you remember when you’ve been brought to your knees by some overwhelming suffering love? Are you able to stop the frenzied round of your life’s demands without feeling guilty, lazy, or neglectful? Our culture is distracted and harried, and redemption’s transforming love requires a lot of focus and concentrated effort. I can’t participate with Christ in His death and resurrection, while simultaneously answering e-mail, picking up dry cleaning, planning supper, and listening to TV. Servants of transforming love need to be able to act with attentive, one-pointed concentration, a wholeness of mind, heart, and body that focuses us on doing one thing at a time. What is implied in such loving attentiveness is that this task, this person here, now, is worthy of my entire attention. As I am able to set aside or die to other competing calls for my concern, greater love and healing may pour through me. Pray.
The solemnity of Holy Saturday carries a weight that presses us down to the earth, and we are no longer able to shift away from truth. The flimsy props we use to hold ourselves upright slide to the ground, and we along with them. The weight of death lays us down in a sweet surrender. Truth is a friend of this silence. The silence of God reveals what is false, what words confuse, conceal, deny, or destroy. Remember how Jesus just stood there when Pilate asked, “What is truth?” Truth was right in front of him…and it is before us, standing in this present moment. Truth simply offers itself. It does not argue its case, defend itself, or plead. It just gives itself in love for those who have ears to hear, eyes to see, and hearts to know. As I embrace the truth of the present moment with love, the next moment is redeemed. Pray.
“The power of the Kingdom is the Spirit of the Risen Christ,
seen in the strength of truth,
as it continues to break through human limitation and sin.”
– Jacqueline Bergan.
The Risen Lord enters my world with His redeeming grace and power, and I meet Him as I hear and speak truth.
The silence of the tomb is full of freedom. You are not in charge; you don’t have to make things happen or figure things out. The silence in “tomb time“ is the celebration of the sanctification of your being. He is sovereign!
Sing again:
Sovereign Over Us
There is strength within the sorrow, there is beauty in our tears,
and You meet us in our mourning with a love that casts out fear.
You are working in our waiting, You’re sanctifying us.
When beyond our understanding, You’re teaching us to trust.
Your plans are still to prosper, You have not forgotten us. You’re with us in the fire and the flood.
You’re faithful forever, perfect in love, You are sovereign over us!
You’re faithful forever, perfect in love, You are sovereign over us!
Pray.
We pray:
Lord, we stand in awe of You, knowing that You are our strength in times of sorrow, and that You meet us where we are, with a perfect love that casts out all fear! Thank you. Pray.
May we be fully convicted in knowing that no matter what takes place in our lives, God’s plans are still to prosper…and He has never, and will never… forget us! Pray.
That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray.
Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors, in particular, Godly men and those of the next generation who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
