“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!
“I have commanded My sanctified ones;
I have also called My mighty ones for My anger — those who rejoice in My exaltation.
The noise of a multitude in the mountains, like that of many people!
A tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations gathered together!
The Lord of hosts musters the army for battle.”
Isaiah 13:3-4
We sing: Raise Up an Army, O God
Raise up an army, O God! Awake Your people throughout the earth!
Raise up an army, O God, to proclaim Your kingdom, to declare Your word, to declare Your glory, O God!
Raise up an army, O God! Awake Your people throughout the earth!
Raise up an army, O God, to proclaim Your kingdom, to declare Your word, to declare Your glory, O God!
Our hope, our heart, our vision, to see in every land Your chosen people coming forth,
fulfilling Your holy mission, united as we stand, pledging our lives unto You, Lord.
Raise up an army, O God! Awake Your people throughout the earth!
Raise up an army, O God, to proclaim Your kingdom, to declare Your word, to declare Your glory, O God!
O God, our glorious Maker, we marvel at Your grace, that You would use us in Your plan.
Rejoicing at Your favor, delighting in Your ways, we’ll gladly follow Your command!
Raise up an army, O God! Awake Your people throughout the earth!
Raise up an army, O God, to proclaim Your kingdom, to declare Your word,
To proclaim Your kingdom, to declare Your word…to proclaim Your kingdom, to declare Your word…
raise up an army, raise up an army, O God!

For us to receive and put on the Ephesians 6 “full armor of God” as we begin each hour,
that we might be protected as we continue to “stand in the gap” for our beloved country!
Pray.
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 his protection and ask that he be led by the Holy Spirit
so that he will discern truth and act for the good of the nation.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage and family, and cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For those leaders that God has anointed, appointed, and elected,
as they take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
May they work together to clean up corruption in our government and restore our electoral system.
Pray.
For God’s blessing and intervention in the life of Joe Hoft and his family,
bringing a miraculous resolution to the issues threatening and attacking him!
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump,
focusing our prayers against any demonic attacks against his physical body,
in particular, the issuance of the demonic decree (“fatwa”) by the Iranian Ayatollah,
calling on Muslims to take his life.
Let him remain in good health, so he can serve his entire 4-year term as our 47th US President!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ENGAGING IN A WARFARE OF LOVE, PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF OUR NATION
AND THE RESTORATION OF OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES – PART 213
“They shall be like mighty men, who tread down their enemies in the mire of the streets in the battle.
They shall fight because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.”
Zechariah 10:5
Netanyahu Delivers Defiant Speech at Newsmax Celebration, Vows to Stop ‘Barbarians at the Gate’.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a forceful and wide-ranging speech at Newsmax’s 4th annual celebration in Jerusalem, declaring that “most Americans” reject Hamas’ “lies” and stand with Israel in its ongoing battle against what he called “the barbarians at the gate.” Broadcast live across the Newsmax network, Netanyahu used the extended address to link Israel’s current security struggle with the shared values and historical alliances between Israel and the United States. Major Israeli and US political, media, and business leaders joined the celebration, including U.S. Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee, Alan Dershowitz, and Malcolm Hoenlein with the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations. Read and pray!
Newsmax CEO Christopher Ruddy delivered a strong introduction, framing the Prime Minister’s leadership as historic. “It is my profound honor to introduce a man whose life’s work has been the defense of his people, the preservation of freedom, and the unflinching pursuit of truth.” He praised Netanyahu for confronting “two of the gravest threats to Israel’s security”: the growing danger of Iran’s nuclear program and the persistent menace from Gaza. He compared Netanyahu’s actions to Winston Churchill’s stand against appeasement before World War II. “On Oct. 7, we all recognized that all people who love freedom and cherish the values of a great society … on that day we all became Israelis and we all stood with Prime Minister Netanyahu and the people of Israel,” Ruddy concluded. Pray.
Then, the Prime Minister opened his speech praising Newsmax: “Thank you, Newsmax, for helping us on the eighth-front war: seven fronts against Iran and its proxies, the eighth front — the battle for truth, Newsmax, you have let the truth circle the globe against the lies that have circled it before and continue to do so. There’s only one way to beat the lies, and that’s with the truth.” Netanyahu expressed gratitude for the outpouring of US public support, saying Americans “recognize that we are fighting the barbarians at the gate. When I say barbarians, this is not hyperbole. It’s not only the goal of destroying Israel; it’s the method they use to murder and mutilate the heathen, as they call them.” Pray.
He strongly rejected accusations that Israel is waging a “starvation policy” in Gaza or committing genocide. “The genocidal element is Hamas. The genocidal element is the Iranian axis that openly calls for the annihilation of Israel, the extermination of Jews in America, and for the death of America itself.” Netanyahu gave an emotional and graphic account of the “savage massacre of Druze” in Syria, detailing an Islamist rampage that murdered men and women, after rape and torture. He said one Druze had his heart cut out of his body and eaten while still alive, and that fighting misinformation is now an “eighth front” in the war, alongside military and humanitarian efforts. He cited the example of emaciated Israeli hostages contrasted with “corpulent” Hamas captors as evidence that “the only deliberate starvation policy in Gaza is the starving of our hostages.” Pray.
From the start of the conflict following Hamas’ October 7, 2023, attack, Netanyahu said Israel has gone to unprecedented lengths to separate civilians from combatants — even in urban warfare. He accused Hamas of firing on civilians attempting to flee and then blaming Israel for the resulting deaths. “This has never happened before in a war. And then Israel is blamed for genocide. That’s ridiculous.” Addressing humanitarian concerns, Netanyahu said Israel has delivered nearly 2 million tons of food and medical aid to Gaza, and that “if Israel wanted to starve the Palestinians, nearly two years after the war began, everybody in Gaza would be dead.” He accused Hamas of looting aid, killing aid workers, and creating shortages. “Hamas caused the hunger problem,” he said flatly. Israel, he continued, has responded with a “humanitarian surge,” opening safe routes, expanding distribution points, and inviting international partners to join the effort. “Hundreds of trucks go in daily. The hunger problem has basically been solved. What has not been solved is the campaign of lies.” Pray.
Netanyahu criticized international media outlets, singling out The New York Times for publishing misleading images to support famine allegations. He said that three children portrayed as famine victims in a widely circulated report were in fact suffering from genetic diseases — and two of them had been treated by Israel. He linked current accusations to centuries-old antisemitic blood libels, recalling false charges in the Middle Ages that Jews poisoned wells or used Christian blood in rituals — lies that helped pave the way to the Holocaust. “Then we had no defense,” Netanyahu said. “Now we have a country, an army, and we fight back against our tormentors.” The Prime Minister also condemned US campus activists who chant “from the river to the sea,“ warning that many do not realize the slogan calls for the eradication of the entire state of Israel. “If you’re not ready to fight for freedom, you will lose it,” Netanyahu warned. “We are prepared to fight, and I know America is prepared to stand with us,” he said. Pray.
We pray:
For the continued strength and determination of Prime Minister Netanyahu and the people of Israel, that they will remain free and unintimidated by threats of domination and destruction. Pray.
That the land which God has given to Israel will remain in their possession until Jesus comes back. Pray.
That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray.
Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors, in particular, Godly men and those of the next generation who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
