Monday, August 16, 2021 – 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!
Then Queen Esther answered and said,
“If I have found favor in your sight, O king, and if it pleases the king,
let my life be given me at my petition, and my people at my request.
For we have been sold, my people and I,
to be destroyed, to be killed, and to be annihilated.”
Esther 7:3-4
We sing: Teach Me Your Ways
If I have found favor in Your eyes, teach me Your ways, teach me Your ways!
That I may be pleasing in Your sight, teach me Your ways, teach me Your ways!
And if You have called me by Your name, teach me Your ways, teach me Your ways!
And, oh, let Your Presence ever remain, teach me Your ways, teach me your ways!
I want to know You, Lord! I want to see Your glory and grace!
And may Your Presence go with us all of our days.
Oh, Lord, teach me Your ways! Oh, Lord, teach me Your ways!
Oh, Lord, teach me Your ways! Oh, Lord, teach me Your ways!

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, for our First Lady, Melania, and their marriage
and for all the members of their family.
We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
We ask that in every situation and decision, President Trump will be led by the Holy Spirit!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Monday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
The Manifestation of the Spirit of the American Revolution – Part 19
“For if you remain completely silent at this time, relief and deliverance will arise for the Jews from another place, but you and your father’s house will perish.
Yet who knows whether you have come to the kingdom for such a time as this?”
Esther 4:14
At a crucial time, when God’s people were about to be annihilated, Mordecai called upon Esther to “speak up”! This is an admonition that each of us is receiving today. The call to intercession requires that we first speak up in prayer…and then put feet to that prayer by taking action.
Our nation is at risk like never before! Let each of us resolve to pray and then speak up, letting our legislators know they MUST call for full forensic audits in every state. If not you, who? If not now, when? Pray.
Today, we are finishing our review of the first chapter of Mark Levin’s national bestseller American Marxism. If you have not had the opportunity to see our last two focuses on it, please go to our 247nationalstrategicprayercall.com website and catch up. Then share them with those you love!

Marxism stresses classism over individualism.
- The individual is dehumanized and is nothing unless he identifies with a group…the oppressed and victimized group.
- Individuals who make up opposing, nonconforming groups are collectively dehumanized, condemned, and loathed as the enemy. Again, this is a trait of American Marxism and the Democratic Party. Pray.
Of course, this formulation is especially seductive to the malcontented, disenchanted, disaffected, and dissatisfied. For them, individual liberty and capitalism expose their own shortcomings and failings, and their difficulty and perhaps inability to function in an open society. Marxism provides a theoretical and institutional framework through which they can project their own limitations and weaknesses onto “the system” and their “oppressors” rather than take responsibility for their own real or perceived plight. As I wrote in Ameritopia, these individuals are “lured by false hopes and promises of the utopian transformation and the criticisms of the existing society, to which their connection is tentative or nonexistent. Improving the malcontents’ lot becomes linked to the utopian cause.” Many in this population are susceptible to manipulation, especially by demagogues and propagandists, and the lure of revolutionary transformation. Pray.
Importantly, whether one identifies with or is among the class of oppressed or victimized is a matter of self-determination and self-actualization. In other words, there are no hard and fast rules. Furthermore, they and their group can also define and identify what and whom, for them, are their oppressors. In the end, Marx and his modern-day surrogates direct their wrath at the existing society and culture, which must be toppled if life is to have meaning and start over in the newly minted egalitarian paradise.
Those in the existing society who are successful, content, and happy are tormented and targeted, for they are either among the oppressors or oppressor groups, and therefore support and sustain the status quo. Moreover, those who sanction the existing society, or refuse to support or acquiesce to the agenda and demands of the oppressed, are also subjected to damaging and destructive pressures and conduct. Either you are part of the righteous revolution for liberation and transformation or you are not. Hence, the allegedly oppressed become the real oppressors, and wield substantial power throughout society and the culture despite their limited appeal and smaller numbers. And they become more belligerent, demanding, and even violent as their appetite for control and revolution grows and must be constantly satiated. Pray.
This also explains, but only in part, the cowardice of corporatists, professional athletes, broadcasters, artists, actors, writers, and journalists who, in the face of such tumult, buckle under the pressure, seek to avoid the mob’s notice through various forms of appeasement and capitulation, and in some cases participate in their own transfiguration and even disembowelment. For others, their boardrooms, management, and workforce are sympathetic and “down for the revolution,” populated from the ranks of ideologically indoctrinated college and university students, particularly among the Ivy School elite, teachers’ unions, or the increasingly radicalized Democratic Party, of which they are members, sympathizers, and/or supporters. Many corporatists have simply abandoned capitalism for statism and government/economic centralization, and support groups like BLM and various radical causes, as a way to curry favor if not partner with political and bureaucratic autocrats to destroy their competition and improve their financial positions. Pray.
Ted McAllister, professor of public policy at Pepperdine University, makes a persuasive case that today’s ruling class or elites disdain our country. In a 2021 essay titled “Thus Always to Bad Elites,” he writes:
“Today, we have a very different elite than America did as recently as the 1980s in terms of their nature, goals, ambitions, style, and ways of exercising power. The deepest fact of our time is that America has a bad elite, a mendacious one whose skills, values, goals, tastes, and types of knowledge are hostile to our nation’s inherited cultures and plural people. The new elite that has emerged in the last generation or two has no interest in preserving anything but perhaps their own power. They lack historical knowledge and vision, which they supplant by, or exchange for, the powers of transformation and change. Intoxicated by the power possible with emerging technologies, inspired by visions that only a deracinated globalist perspective could make attractive, this elite thinks of creative destruction as applied to culture. Pray.
As winners in what they imagine to be a meritocratic struggle, they can see nothing of an inherited world worth preserving for their very success. The peculiar characteristics of their evolving power have given to our new elite the soul of adolescent art applied to a global canvas. They lack any experiential or historical ballast to weigh them down, to slow them in remaking everything according to their desires. For them, streamlining power is key to creation and the annoying obstacles to their new creations are not really checks to prevent tyranny but, rather, limitations, unnecessary friction in the headlong rush to transform.
For this new elite, for instance, the good of free speech has become invisible because, for them, free speech is simply friction, resistance to their goals. The elimination of hate speech is the goal, the unimpeachable good, that the openness of free speech prevents. In half a generation, the work of centuries is undone and the levers of tyranny put in place.” Pray.
Actually, this is the best that can be said of the contemporary elite.
Unfortunately, too many among us take false comfort in the belief that there could never be a Marxist-based or oriented revolution in America, and what they are witnessing is just another in a cycle of liberal movements, which contribute to the evolution of American society and culture and, therefore, are worthy of approval and passive support. Collectively, these are America’s “useful idiots” on whom Marxists rely—that is, individuals and organizations that are unserious and unaroused by the ominous clouds of tyranny, and even worse, are participants in their own demise and that of the country. Pray.
For many, Marxism has a way of sneaking up on them.
- They are not yet personally threatened and, at least for now, are unmolested or personally unaffected by it;
- or there are those who are too busy in their everyday lives to realize what is transpiring, or may dismiss these threats as amorphous, distant, or passing events;
- and there are still more who cannot believe their country would succumb to Marxist influences and despotism. Pray.
The purpose of this book is to awaken the millions of patriotic Americans, who love their country, freedom, and family, to the reality of Marxism’s rapidly spreading influence throughout our nation. What is occurring in our country is not a temporary fad or passing event. American Marxism exists, it is here and now, and indeed it is pervasive, and its multitude of hybrid but often interlocking movements are actively working to destroy our society and culture, and overthrow the country as we know it. Pray.
Many of the individuals and groups who collectively make up this movement are unknown to most Americans, or operate in ways in which most Americans are unaware. Thus, this book is written to introduce you to a representative sample of them, some perhaps more familiar than others, and to provide you with specific examples of their writings, ideas, and activities, so you can know of them and hear from them.
American Marxism has made great progress toward instituting its goals over the last several years. If it is to be defeated, as it must—albeit a daunting and complex mission—its existence must first be acknowledged and labeled for what it is, the urgency of the moment must be realized, and the emergence of a unified, patriotic front of previously docile, divergent, and/or disputatious societal, cultural, and political factions and forces, which have in common their belief that America is worth defending, must immediately galvanize around and rally to the cause. Pray.
We must rise to the challenge, as did our Founding Fathers, when they confronted the most powerful force on earth, the British Empire, and defeated it. Admittedly, in numerous ways today’s threat is more byzantine, as it now inhabits most of our institutions and menaces from within, making engagement difficult and complicated. Nonetheless, I fervently believe America as we know it will be forever lost if we do not prevail. Pray.
I closed my book Liberty and Tyranny, which was published a short twelve years ago, with President Ronald Reagan’s fateful and prescient observation, which compels our attention especially now for it is more imperative than ever:
“Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction.
We didn’t pass it to our children in the bloodstream.
It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same,
or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and children’s children
what it was once like in the United States where men were free.”
We pray:
- That the PATRIOTS OF AMERICA WILL UNITE…and together reclaim our freedom, our country, and our destiny as God’s servants in the end-times harvest of souls! Pray.
- That in the future, the words AMERICAN and MARXISM will never be used together… and that the communist threat to this nation will be put down, never to rise again! Pray.
- We pray for the removal of Pelosi, Schumer, and all those who are collaborating with them for evil. Pray.
- We pray once again for the people of Cuba, who have boldly risen up to throw off the shackles of communism. We pray that they see success and that they and their children are redeemed from the darkness of communism and able to live their lives in freedom! Cuba Libre! Pray.
- That President Trump will contact us soon regarding an “appointed place” and an “appointed time” for our meeting with him! Pray.
