We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Do not present your members as instruments of unrighteousness to sin,

and your members as instruments of righteousness to God.”
Romans 6:13
We sing: Holiness is What I Long For
Holiness, holiness is what I long for. Holiness is what I need.
Holiness is what You want for me.
Take my heart and mold it. Take my mind; transform it. Take my will; conform it.
To Yours, to Yours, Oh, Lord!
Righteousness, righteousness is what I long for. Righteousness is what I need.
Righteousness, righteousness is what You want for me.
Take my heart and mold it. Take my mind; transform it. Take my will; conform it.
To Yours, to Yours, Oh, Lord!
Brokenness, brokenness is what I long for
Brokenness is what I need
Brokenness, brokenness is what You want for me.
Take my heart and mold it. Take my mind; transform it. Take my will; conform it.
To Yours, to Yours, Oh, Lord!
~~~
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 Thursday
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 95
“Those who are self-seeking and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath.”
Romans 2:8
RESTORING ACCOUNTABILITY TO THE FEDERAL WORKFORCE
President Trump’s Office of Personnel Management (OPM) has acted to implement President Trump’s Executive Action titled “Restoring Accountability to Policy-Influencing Positions Within the Federal Workforce.” OPM proposed a rule to amend the civil service regulations to include Schedule Policy/Career for career employees with important policy-determining, policy-making, policy-advocating, or confidential duties. These employees will serve as “at-will employees,” without access to cumbersome adverse action procedures or appeals. This overturns the Biden Administration regulations that protected poor-performing employees. Line federal employees who implement those policies, like Border Patrol agents or wage and hour inspectors, will generally be excluded. This rule empowers federal agencies to swiftly remove employees in policy-influencing roles for poor performance, misconduct, corruption, or subversion of Presidential directives, without lengthy procedural hurdles. Schedule Policy/Career positions remain career positions, filled through existing nonpartisan, merit-based hiring processes. These employees will keep their competitive status and are not required to personally or politically support the President, but must faithfully implement the law and the administration’s policies. OPM estimates 50,000 positions will ultimately be moved into Schedule Policy/Career, approximately 2% of the Federal workforce. The proposed rule does not directly move positions into Schedule Policy/Career. That will be done by a subsequent executive order after a final rule is issued.
Pray.
FIXING A BROKEN SYSTEM: The proposed rule tackles systemic issues in federal workforce accountability, addressing unaccountable, policy-determining federal employees who put their own interests ahead of the American people’s. Federal employees report their agencies do not hold employees accountable: The Merit Principles Survey shows less than 1/4 of federal employees believe their agencies address poor performers effectively. When asked what typically happens to poor performers in their work unit, federal employees’ most common response is they “remain in the work unit and continue to underperform.” This happens because the process for removing federal employees is lengthy and difficult: The Government Accountability Office reports it takes 6 months to a year to remove poor performers, even before appeals. Only 2/5 of federal managers are confident they could remove employees who committed serious misconduct. Just 1/4 believe they could remove an employee for poor performance in a critical element of their job.
Pray.
Unaccountability allows corruption to fester in agencies: For example, a recent audit of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) found widespread misconduct by senior leaders, such as male supervisors pressuring female subordinates for sexual favors in exchange for career assistance. The FDIC almost never seriously disciplined employees for such corrupt behavior. Not a single complaint to the agency’s Anti-Harassment program resulted in a removal, or even a demotion. The auditors found the FDIC tolerated misconduct because the removal process was too difficult to use.
Pray.
Some bureaucrats also use the protections the system gives them to oppose presidential policies and impose their own preferences. Recent polling asked senior federal employees in DC what they would do if the President gave them a lawful order they considered bad policy. A plurality said they would ignore the order and do what they thought best.
During the first Trump administration, career attorneys in the Department of Justice’s Civil Rights Division would not assist in litigation charging Yale University with racially discriminating against Asian and Caucasian applicants.
In the President’s first term, career employees in the Department of Education would not constructively assist in drafting major rules like the Title IX rules.
An Equal Employment Opportunity Commission administrative judge (AJ) recently sent an agency-wide email stating that the agency’s Acting Chair (who was appointed by President Trump) was “not fit to be our chair much less hold a license to practice law” and that the AJ would not implement President Trump’s Executive Orders.
Unaccountable bureaucracy undermines democracy. For the government to be accountable to the American people, elected officials must be able to hold policy-determining and policy-making career employees accountable for their performance and conduct.
Pray.
DRAINING THE SWAMP: President Trump is delivering on his promise to dismantle the deep state and reclaim our government from Washington corruption. In his first term, President Trump signed an Executive Order to reclassify certain federal workers in policy-related roles as “Schedule F” employees, enabling swift accountability for those in influential positions. When Biden took office, he revoked this Executive Order, reinstating protections that shielded unaccountable bureaucrats. President Trump vowed on the campaign trail to reinstate this Executive Order, a promise he kept on his first day returning to office.
Pray.
We pray:
That the American people will rejoice in and be in support of President Trump’s efforts to drain the swamp and restore accountability to the federal government. Pray.
That those not willing to comply with Executive Orders will be fired, and no longer enabled to defy the President’s lawful instructions. 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.
