Wednesday,  August 12, 2020 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call

“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”

1-712-770-4340   Code:  543555 #  (Ongoing call…24 hours a day!)

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

“At that time Jesus said, “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, 

that You have hidden these things from the wise and intelligent and have revealed them to infants.”

Matthew 11:25 

We sing: In Christ Alone

In Christ Alone, I place my trust, and find my glory in the power of the Cross!

In every victory let it be said of me, my source of strength, my source of hope is Christ Alone! 

(Repeat twice, building conviction as you sing!)

~~~

    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 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 pray for ourselves and our loved ones, as we put on the full armor of God!

We pray specifically for our sister, Repeka Nuusa (CO) who’s been given a diagnosis only God can reverse. 

We pray for the coronavirus to be taken down by Almighty God…no second wave…no more spikes…

just the full and complete destruction of the virus in the United States!

We pray that the “elite medical establishment” will no longer block our doctors from prescribing hydroxychloroquine as a treatment for the coronavirus. Let the doctors be free to practice as You lead! 

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 being 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!

We continue to pray that the President will not agree to any division of the Holy Land!

The 24/7 NSPC is praying for the 2020 National Elections, positioning ourselves in intercession 

before the Lord, asking for a LANDSLIDE VICTORY for President Donald John Trump! 

COUNTDOWN: 84 days until the election!

Let us pray into this verse:

“The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.”

Proverbs 9:10 

Strategic Focus for Wednesday

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA 

ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL! 

The battle for the reopening of the schools!

“Hear, my son, your father’s instruction and do not forsake your mother’s teaching.”

Proverbs 1:8

America’s education system is on the brink of unprecedented changes. Today, as we consider the following in prayer, let us go to God, asking Him to encourage us as we keep praying for the present generation of young people, children, youth and young adults, who will be those who will be serving Him in the future! Read and pray into each item. 

• On Aug. 4, 2020, Iowa’s teachers refused to submit to Iowa’s state law that requires a 50% minimum of in-person learning when schools reopen this fall. The teachers sided with their union and told Governor Kim Reynolds they would not comply with the state’s law. 
• In Florida, a teachers’ union sued Governor Ron DeSantis to give control to the local school districts, (not the Governor). They demanded that the school districts have the power to decide whether schools can reopen for in-person instruction this fall. The country’s second-largest teachers’ union, the American Federation of Teachers, authorized their state and local chapters to strike if their districts do not take sufficient precautions to protect teachers from contracting the coronavirus. 
• Teachers, in compliance with their unions, across America, are holding protests and 5.

Why were teachers’ unions opposed to reopening our schools? Their opposition surfaced on July 7, 2020, immediately after President Trump said, “So what we want to do is we want to get our schools open. We want to get them open quickly, beautifully, in the fall.” At that moment, everything changed. 

Union teachers across America raised their voices in opposition to reopening schools and, in many cases, online instruction as well.

• Two unions, The National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT), represent over three million educators. The combined yearly budgets of the two unions are over $2 billion, of which $400 million is given primarily to the Democrat party and as direct campaign contributions to elect Democrat candidates to offices. 
• Both labor unions promote extreme liberal agendas in public schools and have wielded a tremendous amount of power over American education, a power they have no intention of sharing. Teachers’ unions intend to use the coronavirus outbreak to flex their muscles by initiating strikes and protests.
• One Philadelphia public school teacher, Matthew Kay, who teaches English at the Science Leadership Academy, was curious about how educators will cope with “conservative parents” listening in on virtual classes, said on a social media platform that he is concerned about the “damage” that “helicopter parents” might cause if they overhear lessons on topics such as gender and sexuality. He said: “While conversations about race are in my wheelhouse, and remain a concern in this no-walls environment — I am most intrigued by the damage that ‘helicopter / snowplow’ parents can do in the host conversations about gender / sexuality.”

The reopening of schools as quickly as possible was only one part of President Trump’s economic recovery plan. School unions saw an area where they had power and immediately initiated public demonstrations to keep schools closed. What the unions should have realized is the fluid state of education in America and how the coronavirus has brought this nation’s education system to the edge of a drastic change.

Intercessors see this as a golden opportunity to pray into the change God wants for education. Unions survive on the dues their members pay and suffer significantly from any decline in their membership, which may result as parents find alternate options to public school and labor unions’ heavy-handed tactics come to light. The current school reopening crisis could further break the influence the NEA and the AFT hold over America’s educational system. As the unions weaken, their hold over our children and our nation will be broken! 

Pray:

• That Teachers’ Unions will continue to lose members, as a result of a 2018 Supreme Court ruling that gave teachers the option not to join. Since then, many teachers have opted not to belong to their local union, meaning fewer members and less income for the unions. 
  • Pray that teachers will take a stand to refuse to belong to ungodly labor unions.

• That because of the coronavirus, many parents will decide to opt-out of public schools, and join with families in their community to start small school units, called micro-schools, educational pods, cyber schools, or private schools already in existence. 
  • Pray for God’s blessings on all Godly schools.

• Public schools have failed to deliver an “across the board” good education for students for decades. Since 2000, US students have scored poorly on the Program for International Student Assessment (PISA) test. Let these poor academic standards cause many parents to take their children out of public schools.
  • Pray for the redemption of education in America.

• Public sympathy for public school teachers is waning as teachers protest and strike in arguments over school opening dates, virtual learning, and sanitizing standards. A weary public is not always impressed when protesters hold their hand-made signs, saying: “Protect our Children. Do Not Return to School”, and watch as more extreme protesters wear death masks, carry coffins, guillotines, and tombstones.
  • Pray for teachers to love God and their students.

• Homeschooling has taken its toll on public school enrollment, as many parents have found educating their children to be a viable option for public schooling.
  • Pray for wisdom and understanding for all homeschooling parents. 

• Parents can educate a child for much less than the public school price tag of $13,000/year/student average. (In some places, over $20,000 per year.) A child can be educated quite well for $5,200/year/student.
  • Pray for corruption to be exposed in public school spending.

• School choice may be closer than we think. President Trump and Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos both desire to put in place a school choice option for parents, a plan that would benefit all children poor, middle-class, and affluent. Circumstances could now make that option a reality.
  • Pray education funding not be given to school districts and corrupt systems of education but flow directly to the parents to make the decisions about where and how to educate their children.

As teachers’ unions lose their favor, and their enrollment is declining, now is the time to unite in prayer and watch God create a new system, void of corruption, that reflects biblical values, honors faith, and is academically sound.

We pray:

• That  You Alone, Lord Jesus Christ, can turn the hearts of  America back to You again! Let us once again become that  “City on a Hill”…Your beacon to the world. Bring us back to YOU! Pray 
• That You will guide and direct our nation,  according to Your plan, in Your timing, with the power of Your Holy Spirit.  You go before us…leading the way! We will follow! Pray
• Thank you for the way You have worked in the heart of our President! Woe and draw him into even deeper intimacy with You, that he might hear Your Voice clearly and act in accordance with Your instruction! Pray

NOTE: We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call. At any time, it is necessary, the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss. We then lift up the Name of Jesus in song, and pray a shield of protection, and deliverance and healing over our CC line and our 24/7 family, and return to the focus.
