We sing: We are One Body
We are One Body, One Body in Christ; and we do not stand alone.
We are One Body, One Body in Christ; and He came that we might have life.
When you eat My Body and you drink My Blood, I will live in you and you will live in My love.
When you eat My Body and you drink My Blood, I will live in you and you will live in My love.

We are One Body, One Body in Christ; and He came that we might have life.
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life, I am the Final Sacrifice.
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life; he who believes in Me will have eternal life.
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life, I am the Final Sacrifice.
I am the Way, the Truth, the Life; he who believes in Me will have eternal life.
We are One Body, One Body in Christ; and we do not stand alone.
We are One Body, One Body in Christ; and He came that we might have life.

Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Believe and Receive!
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me.
John 14:1
Today is Holy Thursday, a day on which Jesus celebrated Passover with His disciples and instituted the Lord’s Supper. 1 Corinthians 11:23-25 recounts it for us!
“The Lord Jesus, on the same night in which He was betrayed, took bread; and when He had given thanks,
He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”
In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying,
“This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
Following that meal, He went to Gethsemane to pray and agonized over what was to come. This marked the beginning of His passion…
“O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.”
Matthew 26:42
We pray:
- Jesus, thank You for the price You paid to save us! We believe in You and acknowledge once again that You are our Savior and Lord. Pray.
- Help us to embrace and fully enter into Your suffering, passion, death and resurrection this week. Pray.
- Increase our love for You, and help us to seize every opportunity to share about You with others who have yet to learn about Your tremendous grace and mercy! Pray.
Yesterday, at 12 PM (Noon) ET, as Passover was beginning in Israel at 7 PM Jerusalem time, intercessors all across this nation and around the world were blowing shofars or playing recordings of shofar sounds, simultaneously releasing holy blasts into the atmosphere! Then, as with the children of Israel at Jericho, a shout was raised, calling on God to bring down this wall, this coronavirus that has assaulted our people. “HOSANNA! Save Your people!”
The Lord heard and will respond to every shofar blast in every location where it was blown or broadcast and He has also heard the SHOUTS of His people, who cried out for His deliverance. He will answer us!
Yesterday afternoon, this message was amplified on the 3 PM 24/7 National Children’s and Youth Prayer Call when one of our participants asked for prayer for her cousin and uncle, both sick with the virus. Pastor Ioan shared how, in the story of the fig tree, Jesus said to His disciples: “…whatever things you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive.” Matthew 21:22 The application is that we are to discern what God is doing, showing or telling us…and then to act on it…without hesitation! When we ask for wisdom about what to do, and receive instructions God gives by faith, we are not to doubt! Believe what He says and then obey…without hesitation…and He will do it! We prayed for those affected by the coronavirus, speaking blessing of health upon them, and commanding the virus to dry up, wither and die! We are standing in faith…awaiting word of their healing!
Blowing the shofars, shouting and speaking life and death into these situations sets things in motion in the spirit realm! These prophetic acts, done in obedience and faith, were discerned and then acted upon…without hesitation. Having received and believed these Kingdom strategies, we stand in joyful expectation of the reversal of this pandemic and its ultimate death!
We pray:
- That we won’t hesitate when we hear God speak, but believe it…receive it..and step out in faith! Pray.
- For a microcosm/macrocosm effect, as the blessings, we spoke spread from each of our homes to our surrounding neighbors, into our communities, and to our cities, states and all across this nation! Pray.
- That wherever this evil virus has asserted itself, that the Body of Christ will arise to take a stand against it…and speak life to people and death to the virus, so it will dry up, wither and die, as the fig tree did! Pray.
As we prepared for the beginning of Passover last night, and this week’s remembrance of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection, faith leaders across the nation were invited to join President Trump on a national conference call at 2:30 PM ET yesterday! He wanted to thank us for the prayers and support given by the various faith communities in this time of national distress, and take the opportunity to pray together! These are some of the things shared on that call.
President Trump:
- It is good to be with all of you. I know so many of you on this call and I appreciate your tremendous support. This is going to be an important time and what we are doing right now is certainly one of the most important things that has ever taken place in our country…with the “invisible enemy” as I call it!” It’s wonderful to speak with 10,000 of America’s faith leaders from across the country, as our entire society wages war against this enemy I want to thank the pastors, priests, rabbis, imams and all religious leaders who have worked with us tirelessly… and it’s incredible, the relationships we’ve all developed together.
Pray.
- This week, Christians observe Good Friday and Easter and remember the suffering, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Beginning this evening, Jewish families celebrate Passover and give thanks that God delivered His people from bondage and led them to the Promised Land. Unfortunately, we’ll not be able to gather – it’s very sad – on Sunday. We are not going to be able to gather as we normally would. I’d like to thank the faith leaders on this call for encouraging your congregations to use this time to focus on prayer and private reflection, reading scripture and growing in our personal relationship with God. This is a time to remember, and certainly, a time of faith and family and God, in each of our lives.
Pray.
- It is a remarkable thing to see how your faith communities are staying connected…hosting online services, of which I have now attended three in the last three weekends, three Sundays. (and I thought they were very good. You could say that there’s nothing like being in church but I thought they were very good)…offering video conferences, Sunday school, Bible study and prayer vigils and making calls to provide comfort and encouragement to families.
Pray.
- My Administration will continue to honor the incredible work that faith-based organizations are doing to meet the needs of people during the crisis. That is why we took action to ensure that religious organizations, including places of worship, can apply for the “Pay Check Protection Program”, which is an incredible success. We’ve done close to 200,000 applications already for billions and billions of dollars, and now we are going for an extra $250 Billion because it’s been so successful! The big banks and the community banks all together working, it’s been an incredible success. What we are doing is keeping the employees in the small businesses. The program allows loans delivered under the program to be fully forgiven as long as the funds are used to keep these employees on the payroll. So, it’s really been an incredible thing…very few glitches and they were worked out on the first day. We’re setting records, in fact, it looks like we are going in for an additional $250B…and that will be done pretty soon, and we think we’re going to get it as a bipartisan transaction…so, you’ll be seeing that and reading about it very shortly, I hope!
Pray.
- In the midst of this trying time, we are reminded that faith inspires us to care for the vulnerable and cherish each person as a beloved child of God. I’ve been inspired by the selfless spirit of our people. Students delivering groceries to senior citizens, families are grieving with those who have lost a loved one, and communities are supporting and praying for our doctors, nurses and healthcare workers. You may have heard me say that these people are like warriors, like great warriors, the way they rush into the hospital and they are putting their equipment literally as they’re running through doors…and really, going into great danger
Pray.
- Almost 3,000 years ago, the prophet Isaiah wrote these words:
“Darkness covers the earth, but the Lord rises upon you, and His glory appears over you, for the Lord will be your everlasting light.”
It’s really so true and I’ve felt it for a long time. As our nation battles the invisible enemy, we reaffirm that Americans believe in the power of prayer and that we give thanks for the majesty of creation and the promise of eternal life, and we place our trust in the hands of Almighty God. I really appreciate everything…and when I say that, we mean now and forever.
Pray.
- I just want to thank everyone for being on the call. The relationship we’ve developed has been very special. The White House is behind you and the Administration is so behind you, and we’re going to have a tremendous 5 more years. We’re going to have a long time together, and I really appreciate everything you’ve done and your great support. And speaking of support, I’m going to give this over to Vice President Mike Pence, and Mike’s going to say a few words.
Pray.
Vice President Pence:
- It’s an honor to be able to be with you and literally more than 10 K faith leaders across the country. President Trump often says that we are a nation of faith, and in the midst of the coronavirus epidemic, it’s been the faith of millions of Americans that have sustained our people and I didn’t want to miss the opportunity to join the President and to tell you on behalf of all of us working under the President’s direction on the Coronavirus Task Force that we are truly grateful. It’s a challenging time, as more than 400K Americans have tested positive for the coronavirus, and our hearts grieve for the more than 13K families that have lost loved ones. But as the GOOD BOOK says, we mourn with those who mourn, grieve with those who grieve…“but we do not grieve like those who have no hope!” The faith represented on this call, and the faiths represented on this call, and the progress that we’re making here really give us hope.
Pray.
- Thank you for the sacrifices your communities have made in putting into practice the President’s coronavirus guidelines for America. We know that there is a great, great challenge in your communities, in your churches and synagogues and places of worship when you cannot meet together. But thank you for adhering to the mitigation efforts the President’s been advancing, first for 15 days and now for 30 days
Pray.
- Let me also say thank you for the incredible generosity that communities of faith have provided. You’ve come alongside people, families that are struggling; you’ve come alongside health care workers; you’ve made an incredible difference, we’ve simply lost count of the inspiring stories of the ways communities of faith, dealing with their own challenges in the midst of this epidemic are stepping forward with a generous spirit.
Pray.
- We thank you for your prayers. Tonight will be the first day of Passover and for those of us who cherish our Christian faith, Good Friday and Easter are coming up around the corner. We just know that the prayers that have been going on from the outset have been sustaining your President… and sustaining all of us who have been working at his side, your leaders at the state level and especially our incredible health care workers. So thank you so much again, for your prayers, for your commitment and for doing all that we need to do. The President often says: “We’re all in this together” and we have every confidence with your efforts and God’s grace we’ll all get through this. The President says we will defeat the coronavirus and we’ll come back stronger than ever before, and it will be the faith of the American people that will have laid the foundation for that great, great come back!
Pray.
President Trump:
- Thank you to everybody! We have a tremendous year coming up! We’re going to beat this plague…we’re going to beat this virus…and we’re going to beat it soon! We’re going to get our country back! We have a very, very powerful year coming up because you know what lies ahead…and we have to do it! People of faith have to do it. We have to have victory! I’m always here and I’ll speak to you all soon! Thank you very much!
We pray:
- In thanksgiving for this man You have given as our President! Lord, guard and guide him, protect and provide for him in every way so that he might lead our nation forward…KADIMA!…into the destiny You have promised for the great END TIMES HARVEST!
Pray.
