“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 Donald John Trump
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for our President’s protection and we cover him with the Blood of Jesus.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their son Barron and each of their family members.
We cover our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those serving in this Administration.
We also bless the members of the Federal Reserve Board along with those who are part of our nation’s banking system which impacts our economy! May Jerome H. Powell, Richard H. Clarida,
Randal K. Quarles, Michelle W. Bowman, and Lael Brainard serve with integrity and honor!
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: 561 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“…all who desire to live Godly in Christ Jesus will suffer persecution.”
2 Timothy 3:12

Praying for the Persecuted Church in SRI LANKA
“I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and
pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven…”
Matthew 5:44-45
On Easter Sunday, around 8:45 AM local time in Sri Lanka, a series of blasts took place in three Christian churches where congregants were celebrating the Resurrection of Jesus Christ and His VICTORY over DEATH! Explosions also occurred at three Colombo hotels: the Cinnamon Grand, the Shangri-La Hotel, and the Kingsbury Hotel, and at the Dehiwala Zoo in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia, and a house in Colombo.
Our hearts are broken over the senseless bombings that took place in these eight “coordinated terrorist attacks” in this island nation. We weep over pictures showing the pain, anguish and suffering of those who lost loved ones in these inhuman acts of destruction…in what should be “safe places” for families to gather and celebrate together…churches and restaurants.
Christians are a minority in Sri Lanka, and the majority of Christians in the country are Roman Catholic, who would be worshipping at their churches when the attacks took place on one of Christianity’s holiest days. Authorities said they had received word that the terrorists planned to target churches with suicide attacks, but nothing was done about it.
The attacks were conducted by people wearing suicide bombs and mark some of the worst violence the country has seen since the end of its civil war a decade ago. As the death toll continues to rise, the Sri Lankan government has identified a small Islamist terrorist organization as the group behind the assault. They suspect the organization had outside help, which enabled them to carry off coordinated bombings on opposite sides of the country.
We pray:
- For those who mourn their beloved family members, that the peace of God, which passes all understanding will guard their hearts and minds in Christ Jesus.
- That those who have done this will be brought to justice and this assault on Christians will cease.
- For forgiveness for the lack of action on the government’s part, which provided an opportunity for this massacre to take place!
Such actions…which have claimed the lives of nearly 300 people and injured 500 others…make no sense to sane people! Asking us to love such people, to bless them, to do good to them and to pray for them is the last thing most of us would ever think of doing…but that is what Jesus taught!
- “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do.” Luke 23:34
- “Forgive as the Lord forgives you! “ Colossians 3:13
- “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be
kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.”
Ephesians 1:31-32
How? How is that possible? Apart from Christ, it isn’t! The pain and hurt that others cause us…as with our brothers and sisters in Sri Lanka…is real and great…unbearable for most! But the pain of living with bitterness and unforgiveness will poison and destroy us, so, in order to survive and thrive…we must forgive!
When we choose by an act of our will, to forgive others, we are not excusing what someone did to us, but rather, that we choose to “forgive, bless and release”…and allow God to deal with them. When we do, we are freed from the bondage that was intended for us due to that situation…and it no longer torments us!
This picture is from the funeral held Monday at Zion Church for victims of the Easter bombing. Most were children.
A pastor in Sri Lanka sent this update at 1 pm Eastern Time on Monday:
“Once again we want to thank you very much for standing with us in prayer; it has made a huge difference in the last 24 hours, as many of the bombs have been diffused in the past 12 hours. They were able to diffuse 80+ detonators in the main bus station and one bomb closer to the airport as well as several other bombs in different places. Prayer is what we need. We started a 24-hour prayer chain asking the Lord that the intelligence units in Sri Lanka will be able to uncover the hidden work of terror. So if you could join us we would really appreciate it. Many churches on the island have received police protection from the government. Tonight from 8 PM until 4 AM in the morning the whole island will be under police curfew. We believe what the enemy meant for evil, the Lord will turn it around for good once again. Thank you for standing with us. We love you.”
Leslie Keegel, our dear friend who was with us in Riverside to WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO CALIFORNIA, just sent this message. We want to share it with our 24/7 family as we pray for Sri Lanka!
Sri Lanka’s prime minister released a statement on Sunday condemning the “cowardly attacks on our people” asking “all Sri Lankans during this tragic time to remain united and strong.” President Trump joined other international leaders in offering his sympathy, saying: “The United States offers heartfelt condolences to the great people of Sri Lanka. We stand ready to help!” The Sri Lankan government announced that it will hold an “official state funeral” to pay tributes to those killed on Easter Sunday this Tuesday.
We pray:
- That all Christians will stand together… as one…in prayer…for the people of Sri Lanka… and every other place that such persecution and violence occur! We are ONE BODY IN CHRIST…and WE DO NOT STAND ALONE!
- That the darkness and perpetrators of this evil would be exposed and apprehended quickly!
- God forbid that this evil, which is a common occurrence in many nations of the world…would come to our shores! God bless and protect the United States. Keep us vigilant, and allow us to continue to “fight the good fight” so that we might lead other nations into the LIGHT!

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for the Mass Media in our Nation
Mark Levin has blasted the Mueller report as ‘impeachment’ manual for House Dems and media, saying that the 400 page report is a “$35 million op-ed” that amounts to an “impeachment report” for the liberal media and House Democrats “Life, Liberty & Levin.” https://video.foxnews.com/v/6028573066001/#sp=show-clips
We pray:
- For those with a public platform like Mark Levin who stand for Godly values and are unafraid to speak the truth about what they see and hear.
