We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!

You give life… You are love…You bring light to the darkness!
You give hope…You restore every heart that is broken.
Great are You, Lord!
It’s Your breath in our lungs…so we pour out our praise…we pour out our praise!
It’s Your breath in our lungs…so we pour out our praise to You only, Lord!
All the earth will shout Your praise. Our hearts will cry, these bones will sing: Great are You, Lord!

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 from the coronavirus and cover him with the Blood of Jesus.
Let him respond to every situation by the leading of the Holy Spirit!
We refer those to You who are plotting and planning the demise of our beloved President!
We say “No!” to them and ask that You expose and foil all their plans! Thank You, Lord!
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage, their son Barron and all their family members.
We bless our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those serving in this Administration.
We pray for the mass media, which is allowing itself to be used and exploited by the “father of lies.”
We ask that it either reverses course and reports accurately, or be taken down.
We pray for the Federal Reserve Board members, to use their power to boost our nation’s economy.
Let them act in accord with what is good for the USA!
The 24/7 NSPC is praying for the 2020 National Elections,
positioning ourselves in intercession before the Lord on behalf of our President and nation!
COUNTDOWN: 211 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“For the Lord will not forsake His people, for His great name’s sake, because it has pleased the Lord to make you His people.”
1 Sam 12:22
Strategic Focus for Tuesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
God is GREAT!
“Yours, O Lord, is the greatness, the power and the glory, the victory and the majesty; For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours; Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and You are exalted as Head over all.”
1 Chronicles 29:11
God is GREAT! The whole world stands in awe when He moves and a “miracle” takes place! That which is not explicable by natural or scientific laws is considered to belong to the realm of God, and when a miracle occurs, all the glory and honor goes to God.
The miracle of conception is a “mirror image” of God’s first four spoken words: “Let there be light” Genesis 1:3 Recently, embryologists have captured the “moment of conception” through fluorescence microscopy, and what they discovered is that at the exact moment a sperm penetrates an egg, the egg releases billions of zinc atoms that emit light…sparks literally fly…and that is clear evidence of life!
We pray:
- In gratitude for those scientists who have confirmed Your Word, so that all will know that You Alone are God and there is no one else like YOU!
Those who have been “born again” rejoice in another miracle…the “miracle” of receiving eternal life when we committed our lives to Christ! In the midst of all that is taking place in our nation, we who belong to Him are called to be his witnesses, to herald and “proclaim the good news of His Salvation” and “declare His glory among the nations, His wonders among all peoples.” We are to exhort those who are fearful, reminding them that “The Lord is great and greatly to be praised. He will not forsake His people, it has pleased Him to make us His people.”
As we prepare to observe Passover (April 8-16) and journey with Jesus through “Holy Week,” we will reflect together on His last meal with His disciples, His agony in the Garden of Gethsemane, and His passion and death on Friday. We will wait through the tomb time on Saturday, only to celebrate His Glorious Resurrection…His VICTORY OVER DEATH and SIN on Sunday! How can we do anything but praise Him? Let’s do that now!
We sing:
I just want to praise You, lift my hands and say: “I love You.”,
You are everything to me, and I exalt Your holy name…I exalt Your holy name… I exalt Your holy name on high.
~~~
You deserve the glory and the honor, I lift my hands in worship and I bless Your Holy name.
You deserve the glory and the honor, I lift my hands in worship and I bless Your Holy name.
You are great, You do miracles so great, there is no one else like You, there is no one else like You.
You are great, You do miracles so great, there is no one else like You, there is no one else.
There is no one else like You.
At this critical hour, over 1,345,000 people in 209 countries around the world have been affected by the Chinese coronavirus (COVID-19). Governments and the private sector are trying to develop a vaccine, manufacture hospital supplies and prevent further spread of the virus. The spirit of fear, operating ‘behind” the virus, is looking for opportune moments to manifest, while people seek to find answers, a measure of control, and the assurance of personal security, safety, and health.
Not since World War II has America seen government-enforced measures.
- Unlike many nations around the world, we have lived a relatively peaceful life, rarely challenged by outside forces. Aside from The Cold War and 9/11, most of our battles have been fought abroad with little threat to our homeland.
- As a people, we have grown very comfortable, while embracing short memories and personal liberties. We have forgotten the psychological and emotional struggles and scars that can be triggered when our personal security is compromised, such as with this virus!
We pray:
- Lord, our hope is in You. Our trust is in You. You Alone are our Safe Place. We want no idols in our lives, and we reject and remove anything competing for attention, that would distract us from focusing on You…even the ones that we thought were for our good.
“We know that with those who love God, in all God works together for good to those who are called according to His plan.”
Romans 8:28
Ultimately, when we have come through the experience of the COVID-19, we will look back and see that God was at work. No matter what we might have to endure, we can take heart in hearing what Jesus told us, that:
“in the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
John 16:33
Aside from whatever physical and emotional scars the coronavirus might leave upon the Body of Christ, in time, we will see that this event will produce wonderful fruit. The result of being “poor” is that we are pushed to trust God, whereas wealth and comfort often have the opposite effect. Welcome this reality. As Charles Spurgeon once said,
“I have learned to kiss the wave that throws me against the Rock of Ages”.
We pray:
- That whatever trials the days ahead may bring, however our faith may be tested, that we will choose to respond in faith…not fear!
- That we will trust the Lord to look after and care for us and our loved ones, and repent for any murmuring we’ve done during this present trial…trusting that in all God is working together for our good.
- That this time of “suspension” of our regular activities and schedules will produce within us character, perseverance, and a hope that does not disappoint… making us more Christ-like.
- That when all is said and done, we will look back and remember the times of joy in the midst of the trial!
“My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience.”
James 1:2-3
In ways that we may not fully understand, this COVID-19 viral crisis can actually help us to become more mature and complete in Christ. Let us embrace the trials before us, serve our families, friends and neighbors as we are able, and trust Christ no matter what we have to walk through! Our neighbors need us to share the love and compassion of Christ with them. Let’s be the church.
We pray:
- That today we will press into our faith.
- That as the church, we will take every opportunity to love and serve our communities, finding ways to be the arms, feet, hands, and voice of Jesus.
- That in the days to come, as millions are forced to seriously evaluate their mortality, that we will be able to reach out to them…to be a light in the dark world to those who were previously unwilling to hear about the hope we have in Jesus…and are ready to hear about Him now!

President Trump’s historic win and realignment of the courts is restoring sanity to America…and he’s just received some great news! The Supreme Court, with Brett Kavanaugh casting the deciding vote, just ended the “reign of
terror” by the liberal 9th Circuit Court of Appeals…which has continuously blocked the President’s actions. SCOTUS voted in a 5-4 decision, reversed the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals earlier ruling…a big victory for President Trump. The Court sided with the President, ruling that the US government can detain immigrants with past criminal records without bond (for as long as needed) as they await deportation. The four judges who opposed the ruling did so vehemently, which goes to show what was at stake in America with the 2016 election. It is common sense to hold a criminal who is not a citizen, especially one who was violent, in custody before we deport them. Thankfully, America made a wise choice in electing President Trump….and we’ll do it again in November! TRUMP + PENCE 2020!
We pray:
- For our President, who is fighting tooth and nail for righteousness and truth. May he be protected from every enemy, plot or intended harm as he serves this nation with courage and distinction.
- In gratitude for this ruling by SCOTUS, and for Justice Kavanaugh being the deciding vote for what is right!
- That the four Justices (Ginsburg, Bryer, Kagan and Sotomeyer) will be removed from the bench and replaced with Constitutionalists who will fear and honor both God and serve this country in their rulings!
