Apr 4, 2025 – Notes Shabbat Call
04-04-25 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
This is the 75th day of the Trump Administration…and he is now 3/4 of the way into his first 100 days! As Maureen was preparing the notes for tonight’s call, she heard this: “Tables have been turned over in the “temple” and the money changers have been cast out!” Immediately, she knew that the Lord was speaking to her about the Trump Administration’s efforts to cleanse and purge our government of corruption and abuse, and level the playing field regarding trade! We applaud President Trump’s efforts in both arenas, and ask for his protection as he continues to work tirelessly to Make America Great Again!
We prayed together to receive the Ephesians 6 “armor of God” led by Kim (NY).
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”
Ephesians 6:10-18
We prayed corporately, receiving that precious armor, asking that we might wear it with the dignity it deserves!
~~~
“Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be in dread of them, for it is the Lord your God who goes with you.
He will not leave you or forsake you.”
Deuteronomy 31:6
President Trump has promised to protect and defend this nation against all enemies foreign and domestic, and is also protecting it from some of our “friends” who have taken advantage of that friendship. Reciprocal tariffs went into effect April 2nd, and have caused quite a stir…but God is still on the throne, and we believe that he is working in the background throughout the nations.
Statements by President Trump re; tariffs:
“CHINA PLAYED IT WRONG, THEY PANICKED – THE ONE THING THEY CANNOT AFFORD TO DO!”
“Just had a very productive call with To Lam, General Secretary of the Communist Party of Vietnam,
who told me that Vietnam wants to cut their Tariffs down to ZERO
if they are able to make an agreement with the U.S.
I thanked him on behalf of our Country, and said I look forward to a meeting in the near future.”
We stand with our President, asking what he has envisioned will come to pass quickly and effectively!
Maureen prayed that our President’s plans and purposes to succeed would not be thwarted in any way, and that those who opposed him would be silenced and shamed! We joined in corporate prayer for that!
Just as we started to offer individual prayers, Ps Ioan, in transit to CA, joined us and reminded us that Israel was the first nation to remove all tariffs with the USA. He also prayed, in agreement with Maureen, re: all those who tried to stir up anger against President Trump. He then shared that he experienced something unique the last few days. He spoke again of his time at the Carlsbad Caverns and how the end time revival would be “from Heart to heart.” He spoke of bells and said that a silent bell gives no sound. The first mention of bells in Scripture is in Exodus 28, which refers to the bells and pomegranates on the robe of the High Priest and how the movements activated the sound of the bells! He said the Lord is the “Great Bell” and when His “sound” enters into us, we (smaller bells) resonate with Him! He then invited David to pray a SHABBAT blessing for us, and they departed the call to continue on their journey! Traveling mercies!
We then continued to pray for President Trump:
Annie (SC) keeps thinking of all the things President Trump said that people mocked and laughed at, and yet they have come to pass. Thinking of Isaiah 54:17 “No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me,” says the Lord.
Brad (VA) This is a national security issue. I thank God for President Trump’s boldness! There is a “Hands Off Rally” against President Trump and DOGE.
Javita (FL) using Psalm 121, sang out a song about the Lord preserving them from evil.
Mary Ellen (IL) thinking of Matthew 6:33 “Seek ye first the Kingdom of God”, and several verses from
Malachi 3:8-18. No panic…just thanks and praise going up to YOU! You are our PROVIDER!
Bev (MT) shared Proverbs 26:23-28 and Proverbs 28:10
Stephanie (TX) shared Job 34:24 “He breaks in pieces mighty men without inquiry, and sets others in their place.” She cringes when she hears the lies on the news…and prayed that all their ratings collapse and they are taken off the air! Nothing good about Trump! God showed Himself powerful when President Trump was elected. Let the people stop listening and let the truth override their lies. We issue a cease and desist order to them! Keep President Trump and Elon and all aligned with him safe! We speak FAILURE! to this shadow government they are trying to form…let it fail!
Mary Ellen (IL) President Trump did not take a salary, but gave it away! He is a giver! Bless him!
Maureen extended that prayer to Elon and others who are sacrificing for the nation!
Melissa (VA) shared Luke 8:17, let the truth be exposed fully and show President Trump to be RIGHT!
Expose Your Light on the shadow government and let them be gone! Turn the evil intended for good!
Dorothy (OR) Sadly, every city in Oregon is involved in the protests tomorrow. She has been meditating on life, liberty, and sacred honor…and as Elon said, we’re in a revolution. She was thinking about him and all the others who are sacrificing that way! Like our Founding Fathers, they are laying down their lives for the nation! R Isaiah 35…”The wilderness and the wasteland shall be glad for them, and the desert shall rejoice and blossom as the rose; it shall blossom abundantly and rejoice, even with joy and singing. The glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellence of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of the Lord, the excellency of our God. Strengthen the weak hands, and make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are fearful-hearted, “Be strong, do not fear! Behold, your God will come with vengeance, with the recompense of God; He will come and save you.” Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped. Then the lame shall leap like a deer, and the tongue of the dumb sing. For waters shall burst forth in the wilderness, and streams in the desert. The parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water; in the habitation of jackals, where each lay, there shall be grass with reeds and rushes. A highway shall be there, and a road, and it shall be called the Highway of Holiness.The unclean shall not pass over it, but it shall be for others. Whoever walks the road, although a fool, shall not go astray. No lion shall be there, nor shall any ravenous beast go up on it; It shall not be found there. But the redeemed shall walk there, and the ransomed of the Lord shall return, and come to Zion with singing, with everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.”
Though we seem to be in a desert place, afraid for the future when we see the news, we ask that You encourage us and strengthen us…help us and open the eyes of the blind, open deaf ears, do all these things and we will walk on the highway of Holiness and rejoice!
Maureen asked us to pause and pray for ourselves to make no place or provision for FEAR…and said “those who know their God shall do exploits!” We know our God and He is able to sustain us through this all.
Melissa (VA) Daniel 11:32 “ The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits”.
We prayed corporately into this!
~~~
At 8 PM Sahar Smith from VA, who is running for the VA House of Delegates, will be our guest. PTL!
Thank you for your kind encouragement to me and the gracious invitation to share with the Body of Christ about my race in VA. I am amazed at what God is doing, going before me in this! This morning I was on the Bible Read-a-Thon and was assigned 1 Chronicles 17…David heard God say He would build a house for David, and He would fulfill that promise! She then told us how she was asked to run!
On Sunday evening, February 23rd, a friend from the Republican Women’s Club asked me to run for the VA 21st District House of Delegates. At that moment, my life changed! I knew that God was asking me to do this. She sat with the Lord in silence, and asked God to move on my husband to be supportive. HE DID…and he was!
The next day, my devotional featured Jeremiah 29:7 “Pray for the city and seek its welfare…for in its welfare is your welfare.” I knew He was speaking directly to my heart, asking me to pray for Richmond, VA.
He has since led me supernaturally, and brought connections, excitement, and prayers that only He could have put together. She has now gotten the required number of signatures and has turned in the paperwork and filed! (Initially, there was no one running, so the seat would have gone unopposed to the Incumbent, Dem Josh Thomas (who raised $2M last time around!) There are now two other Republican candidates running, so we have a June 17th Primary..and early voting begins May 2nd!)
“Straight Talk with Sahar” is the campaign slogan she came up with! She said she will be door knocking the way another friend did, and also ask those she meets “how she can pray for them!”
Prayer requests:
A website, a campaign manager, a calendar of events, (I have Peggy to serve as my treasurer.)
I’m attending Campaign Training with the Leadership Institute on April 7-9th from 9 AM-6:30 PM.
RE: Prayer and financial support; a core group of prayer warriors from VA will be my prayer team.
I have a “MEET AND GREET” scheduled now!
Please pray for the VA Assembly which has 51 D to 49 R / the Senate has 21 D to 19 R (There are major
issues re: life and family coming up in the Assembly!)
It was prayed over her that the Lord would go before her and that striving was broken off of her.IT would be easy and she would have all she needed. Isaiah 52:12 “For you shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight; for the Lord will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.” This reminds me that the Lord goes before me and He is my rear guard.
Isaiah 50:4 “The Sovereign Lord has given me a well-instructed tongue, to know the word that sustains the weary. He wakens me morning by morning, wakens my ear to listen, as one being instructed.”
May the LORD our God be glorified through all my actions and words. Love and blessings, Sahar
Sahar brought a group of young ladies from Paris to the Prayer Tower, and they joined us while we were in DC for the Inauguration. They were “Metro Evangelists” riding the rails and blowing their shofars and prayed for him!
We offered individual prayers for Sahar.
Annie (SC) My word to you is EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED!
Brad (VA) prayed for her and asked for DIVINE GUIDANCE
Bev (MT) sang: “PREPARE YE THE WAY OF THE LORD!” over Sahar
Melissa (VA) as Sahar shared about what they were investing in the campaign, it reminded her of the Trump v Harris campaign, she had more $$$ than he had, but it was God’s calling on DJT that got him there. Let her keep her eyes on You,Lord, and as she moves forward, taking each step, things will fall into place! WALK BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT!
Bobby (WI) thanked God for her testimony! He provides when we submit our lives to Him…He is working in the background…and His goodness is running after me. Psalm 103:2 “Bless the Lord,oh my soul!”
Mary Ellen (IL) encouraged her with a message about a man in MA who ran as a Republican in a Dem area. He drove all over and knocked on doors and won!
Bernadette (NY) “He Who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it!”
Selema (NC) 1 Peter “Grace to you and peace be multiplied.” As you go out, it is for the Kingdom. Multiple all she does for the Kingdom!
Carol (TX) shared Jeremiah 29:11 “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.” She suggested Sahar keep a box of NT in her car and id she leads someone to the Lord, give them a BIBLE!
Maureen invited Sahar to pray for the 24/7 and said we would be praying for her. She thanked God for allowing us to hear her testimony and blessed this call and all participating in it! Maureen asked Melissa (VA) to pray for Sahar and she asked for favor to surround her, Divine connections, and use her to bring ministry to the places she goes! She blessed Sahar and her family. We prayed corporately for Sahar, and then Maureen asked that she be positioned in the place where she can do the Kingdom the most good!
Melissa (VA) said she heard the verse: Jeremiah 32:27 “Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?”
Mary Ellen (IL) reflecting and understands the Dem machine she is going up against. We know how evil the PP crowd is funding the Dems and how vicious they are. They smear everyone who is against them. Give Sahar a hard covering, like a shell, they will not be penetrated by the evil…and let her be laser focused on You and speak what You have her say…and defeat the enemy!
Carol (TX) I am on other calls with Sahar and she is well spoken and communicates clearly! She will do well!
Kay (IL) Her son is a pastor in VA and she wanted to know the areas Sahar is in.
Melissa (VA) looked up where Sahar was running, she’s in the VA Beach / Chesapeake area.
Brad (VA) clarified further that Virginia 21 is in Northern VA, Bull Run, Manassa, about 30 minutes West of their home!
*** For those who asked, we will pass on information of how to support her campaign when we get it!
~~~
Just before 9 PM, we paused once more to pray for the J6 prisoners…
for those who are still in prison, or have been released and then rearrested.
We continue to stand with them and their families until we see then all set free,
returned to their lives and loved ones, and compensated for the injustices they have suffered!
We then joined in singing the National Anthem from all across the nation.

The latest US jobs report has shattered expectations about President Trump’s ability to rouse employer confidence after years of malaise under the Biden-Harris administration. Over 228,000 jobs were added in March, far more than the 140,000 economists expected and a sign that the optimistic outlook for business expansion is growing. The gain far outpaced the 117,000 jobs added in February, which was already a boon for manufacturing sectors as Trump’s first month in office saw its employers add an additional 10,000 new roles. Health care, transportation, and warehousing were among the industries with the greatest gains last month, while federal employment declined. The private sector job growth was a much-needed shot in the economy’s arm.
Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said: “Trust in President Trump. This is a President who is doubling down on his proven economic formula from his first term…this is indeed a national emergency…and it’s about time we have a President who actually does something about it.”
Secretary of State Marco Rubio, in Brussels for a NATO conference, expressed confidence in the market’s ability to recover. “Businesses around the world, including in trade and global trade, they just need to know what the rules are. Once they know what the rules are, they will adjust to those rules. I don’t think it’s fair to say economies are crashing. Markets are crashing because markets are based on the stock value of companies who today are embedded in modes of production that are bad for the United States.”
In a Friday morning message to his Truth Social followers, President Trump celebrated the jobs report saying,
“GREAT JOB NUMBERS, FAR BETTER THAN EXPECTED.
IT’S ALREADY WORKING. HANG TOUGH, WE CAN’T LOSE!!!”
He encouraged people to take advantage of declining stock prices and “buy the dip,” saying the time to buy has never been better. “To the many investors coming into the United States and investing massive amounts of money, my policies will never change. This is a great time to get rich, richer than ever before!!!”
We prayed corporately for stabilization of the nation’s economy + for the President’s policies to prevail!
We then offered individual prayers:
Kay (IL) Your desire is righteousness and for people to have jobs. Bless those who need jobs and give them the ability to learn new, different skills, to learn and grow.
Carol (TX) let them find better jobs that provide contentment for their lives. Draw them to places to be planted in communities and show them the truth that they may have been closed-minded to…and changed.
Anita (NJ) if there is any food shortage, let people learn to grow food for themselves and provide.
Melissa (VA) the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof. We seek Your Word and way and know You have provision for us! You have provided and will provide…until Christ returns!
Joann (MO) in 2020-21, I was on a prayer call, and saw an SUV pulling out of my driveway. They left a dozen eggs on the back of my car, and though I did not ask for them, God knew! HE will provide!
Kay (IL) we need to see what we need to share! Open our hearts and eyes to see what we are to do!
Audrey (CA) shared that about 2 weeks ago, she had a sense to do something, but didn’t follow up. In the end, she did i,t and her cousin called her back and said that he (who had been helped) told her that he had then helped another person who had a great need! So, remember, when you are promoted by God to do something, do it!
Dorothy (OR) I’m in favor of growing our own produce and taking care of ourselves!
Javita (FL) do a little VICTORY garden on your property!
Selema (NC) shared Psalm 112:1-3 “Praise the Lord! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, Who delights greatly in His commandments. His descendants will be mighty on earth; The generation of the upright will be blessed. Wealth and riches will be in his house, and his righteousness endures forever.”
God’s plan and vision is from generation to generation…let it continue on after President Trump leaves and as he hands it down, let it be strong…OPPORTUNITY is there, and no one will miss out on it! She also prayed for homeschoolers…and their families!
Mary Ellen (IL) we are covering a number of things on this call… from tariffs to the economy…and we see that there is good coming…I remember Jesus was in the boat when the storm came, and the media (storm) telling us all the lies, but then, we hear things like the jobs reports…which are great!
Bernadette (NY) prayed that Jerome Powell and the FED stop working against President Trump…and be dissolved! She prayed for those losing money at this moment and doesn’t know what to say to them…and that she is praying that the economy stabilizes.
Kay (IL) DO NOT SELL…you haven’t lost anything if you haven’t sold it!
Melissa (VA) TRUST GOD…not mammon! This is spiritual warfare, and these things are trying to pull at our hearts! No one can serve two masters…choose God, not money! After the shaking, we will still be standing, if we are standing on the ROCK! He is the God of Restoration!
Joanne (MO) God will always regard His people first…no matter what!
Mary Ellen (IL) no matter what we say about the money, some will always be negative! Give it all to Him…including finances!
Maureen asked Kay (IL) to close this topic out in prayer! She prayed in thanksgiving for the LOVE God has for us and lifted up the many children of those on this call who are not believers…we cry out SAVE THEM! Draw them to You, Lord, as we pray!

BREAKING — SUPREME COURT BACKS TRUMP, BLOCKS $250M DEI GRANTS
In a major 5–4 ruling, the Supreme Court sided with President Trump, allowing his administration to continue halting $250 million in Department of Education grants tied to DEI (Diversity, Equity, Inclusion) programs. A lower court had ordered the immediate reinstatement of the funds across eight states, but SCOTUS stepped in to stop it. (Chief Justice John Roberts predictably joined the liberal justices in dissent.) This decision marks a key win in Trump’s fight to defund radical leftist agendas from public institutions.
We prayed corporately into this matter, for each of the SCOTUS Justices, especially the Chief Justice. Let them be moved to flow with God’s justice, or be removed!
~~~
Anita (NJ) asked to pray again for the intended protests tomorrow!
Maureen prayed: Let them be stopped by weather, whatever necessary…
Melissa prayed: let rain and lightning and thunder stop their advance!
Joanne (MO) That day is Yours, Lord.
Mary Ellen (IL) Let law enforcement know that the President has their back, and let them stand in holy boldness so nothing can take place that is harmful! No standing by!
Maureen prayed: Let their entire agenda go down in flames!
~~~
DOGE has now found 5.5 million illegal invaders who have been receiving social security numbers, welfare benefits, Medicare benefits, and every free government program meant for American citizens… and the ones who voted! Their names are being sent to the AG for prosecution. This has exposed the myth that the current administration is “going after social security benefits.” The truth is: DOGE is finding that the Biden administration tried to suck every last dollar from American citizen’s benefits in their 4 years in office! There are “myths” and there is TRUTH. DOGE has done what others claimed they couldn’t do for 25 years!
Basically, we knew this was going on. But the details are stunning.
Non-citizen SS#’s doubled every year during the Biden Presidency!!!
~~~
Chuck Schumer’s annual salary: $193,400. His estimated net worth: $85 MILLION.
Should DOGE investigate?
~~~
No budget passed, no bills passed—yet the Senate’s busy killing President Trump’s Canada tariffs 51-48.
Four GOP traitors—Murkowski, McConnell, Collins, Paul—joined Dems to defy his agenda. Disgusting!
Why do Republicans do this…and why did we hand them the Senate?
However, it means absolutely nothing, because the House won’t take it up. (Thank God for Mike Johnson!)
We prayed for Mike Johnson and asked that he be strengthened in every way as he stands strong and supports President Trump!
~~~
REJOICE WITH GIRLS AND WOMEN EVERYWHERE! Georgia state lawmakers passed the “Riley Gains Act,” a bill set to ban biological males from participating in girls’ sports. The bill, named after the former NCAA swimmer, who lost a title race to trans athlete Lia Thomas, is expected to be signed by Governor Brian Kemp. May every state follow suit!
~~~
Tesla Sales Fall Significantly in 1st Quarter Tesla’s first-quarter deliveries fell by 13% amid protests against CEO Elon Musk over his involvement in the Trump administration and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). We pray for Elon and his businesses to prosper, despite all the hubbub!
~~~
Judge Permanently Dismisses Eric Adams’s Criminal Case. A federal judge has permanently dismissed New York City Mayor Eric Adams’s corruption case, following the Department of Justice’s (DOJ’s) February 10 request to drop the case.
We pray that the NYC Mayor cooperates with the DOJ and Tom Homan, to cleanse the city of gangs of illegals!!
~~~
As we prepared to close the call tonight, Maureen offered this word of encouragement!
~~~
Abigail (MS) and Tironda (IL) were invited to lead us as we shared in communion!
We closed the call with the blessing of “SHABBAT SHALOM” to all!
In His love!
Maureen (and for Ps Ioan)
