Thursday, August 8, 2019 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call 

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

1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 # 

We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call. 

In taking measures to protect and defend our 24/7 family, at the top of every hour, 

the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss, then pray a shield of protection over this line and our 24/7 family!

*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, cover him with the Blood of Jesus, 

and pray that he will not respond to any provocation to go to war with Iran or any other nation!

We bless our First Lady, Melania and their marriage. We bless their son Barron and family members.

We cover our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family 

and all those serving in this Administration.

We also bless the members of the Federal Reserve Board along with those who are part of our nation’s banking system which impacts our economy! May Jerome H. Powell, Richard H. Clarida, 

Randal K. Quarles, Michelle W. Bowman, and Lael Brainard serve with integrity and honor!

We pray for all those on the front lines of the LIFE battle, particularly Cindy Collins, Allan Parker, Alveda King, our Governors, our State Legislators, the Supreme Court, our President, 

and all those who have been conceived in rape or through incest or are abortion survivors! 

Let healing come to all who have been affected by the sin of abortion!

The 24/7 NSPC is calling the Body of Christ nationwide to pray for the 2020 National Elections,

mobilizing intercessors and positioning ourselves in prayer before the Lord

on behalf of our President and nation! 

COUNTDOWN: 454 days until the election! 

Let us pray into this verse:

“For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and he who humbles himself will be exalted.”

Luke 14:11

Strategic Focus for Thursday 

WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Time to reinvigorate the “Black Robed Regiment”!

“…if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” 

2 Chronicles 7:14

All too often, when critical life-and-death situations such as we have experienced this past week take place in our nation, voices of anger, accusations and intimidation shout so loudly that the voices that speak peace and reason are barely able to be heard! As we scan the many congregations that meet on Sunday mornings across our country, we find few pastors willing to address the real issues confronting our society from a Biblical perspective! 

Sadly, the Biblical principles and Godly foundation on which this nation was conceived and birthed have been placed on the back burner…replaced by “political correctness” and seeker-sensitive sermons! If they saw what is taking place today, those of the “Black Robed Regiment” who fought and gave their lives as they led their freedom-fighting congregations into the battle for America’s LIBERTY would roll over in their graves! (“Black Robed Regiment” was the name the British gave to the courageous and patriotic American clergy, a “backhanded reference” to the black robes they wore while preaching from the pulpit!) The British blamed them for American Independence, and rightfully so…as there is not one right asserted in the Declaration of Independence which had not been discussed by the New England clergy before 1763. The rights proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence were a list of sermon topics that had been preached from Christian pulpits in the two decades leading up to the American Revolution.

We pray:

• In thanksgiving for those heroes who fought to conceive and birth ONE NATION UNDER GOD, who knew, as John Adams did, that “Our Constitution was made for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate for the government of any other.” We pray that today’s heroes will arise to take their places! 

It was not just the British who saw the American pulpit as largely responsible for American independence! John Adams rejoiced that “the pulpits have thundered” as he identified several ministers as being among the “characters the most conspicuous, the most ardent, and influential” in the “awakening and a revival of American principles and feelings” that led to our independence. Those of the American clergy were faithful to preach the fullness of God’s Word, applying its principles to every aspect of life, shaping America’s institutes and culture. They proclaimed liberty, resisted tyranny, and opposed any encroachments on God-given rights and freedoms. 

The ministers during the Revolutionary period were not “unique”. They were simply speaking God’s TRUTH, which shaped our government and culture in the century and a half preceding the Revolution. 

America once again needs courageous ministers. 

It is time to reinvigorate the “Black Robed Regiment”!

Most Conservative Christians are alarmed that our culture seems to be spiraling out of control and drifting further away from Judeo-Christian principles. They are well aware of America’s spiritual roots and that it was those pastors in the Revolutionary War that led the way…speaking out boldly from the pulpit on the moral and cultural issues of the day. The organization of the same name (NBBR) is still speaking out boldly today! 

We pray:

• For those of the National Black Robe Regiment (NBRR) serving to build coalitions with leaders from every ethnicity and denomination. They do not teach doctrine, just the historical and Biblical role of the pastor / priest / rabbi. Bless their efforts to inspire and educate, Lord!

This week, another group of pastors and faith leaders have convened at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia, at an event organized by the American Renewal Project (ARP). Focused on pastoral involvement, it not only teaches them how to get their flocks to the polls but encourages them to get involved in politics themselves… and to run for political office. 

Evangelicals propelled Donald John Trump to victory in 2016, giving him 81% of the white conservative evangelical vote. Christians were the single, largest, most cohesive voter bloc. This time around, in 2020, it will be “all hands on deck” for an election that will be all about voter ID and turnout. Pastor events like this are serving as a way to mobilize the church. 

The ARP, led by David Lane, is working to increase the political strength of the Christian right, restoring Judeo-Christian principles across the country and mobilizing an evangelical army of pastors to lead the way. 

• Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich said: “David Lane’s Pastors and Pews training sessions are having an effect across the country. In California and Missouri we have evidence that trained and courageous pastors can change history.” 
• Mike Huckabee, a former presidential candidate and a pastor himself, has spoken at these events many times and understands their value. He said: “The Pastor and Pews events have been extremely valuable in mobilizing church-going voters and illuminating critical issues for elections. I am convinced that this model was instrumental in the 2016 election of President Trump and has been instrumental in numerous statewide elections for congressional, US Senate and gubernatorial races.”

We pray:

• That this effort to inspire, train and encourage pastors to become involved politically will explode for 2020!

Lane’s 2014 concept of putting pastors in office to change the moral fabric of America, caught on like wildfire. In 2015, his first “Issachar Training Sessions” began. (Men of Issachar “understood the times.” 1 Chronicles 12:32)

• In 2016, roughly 200 pastors stepped up to run for office. 
• In 2018, nearly 600 California pastors took part in the Issachar Training Sessions. 
• In 2020, the goal is to have 1,000 pastors running across the country. If a few dozen of them ran for office in California in 2020, it could be a game-changer in that very liberal state.

Look at what the Lord has done! 

• In 2018, 6 pastors ran for the state legislature; 5 of them were elected. 
• 3 of them won seats in the Missouri House, which just this year, passed a ban on abortions after eight weeks of pregnancy, without exceptions for rape and incest. 
• California Pastor Rob McCoy, who lost an election in 2014, didn’t give up. He wanted to be a light for Christ in his community and local politics…and is now the Mayor of Thousand Oaks, California. 

We pray:

• For the 2 additional Missouri pastors who have announced they will run in GOP primaries for the Missouri House in 2020.
• For pastors and other people of faith to have the courage and conviction to run for office, and for the Body of Christ to support and vote them into office in 2020.

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK), a former Southern Baptist church leader himself, said NOW is the time to rise up. 

“Some in our society try to silence people of faith so their voices are not heard. But faith leaders, like any other American, have a role in our government and in our elections. We are grateful to live in a country where any person can speak and organize. If people of faith sit in silence, we surrender our right to speak out for the importance of every life and to wisely stand up for our core values in this culture.”

The ministers during the Revolutionary period were not “unique”. They were simply speaking out, doing what needed to be done to shape American government and culture in the century and a half preceding the Revolution. 

America once again needs courageous ministers. It is time to reinvigorate the Black Robed Regiment!

We pray:

• This pastors’ movement needs prayer and persistence. May we see a new generation of pastors rise up to meet the challenge that is timeless, so that when the people of God do as He commands in 2 Chronicles 7:13-15, then the blessing of God’s PRESENCE in verse 16 follows: 

“When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land. 

 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place. I have chosen and sanctified 

this house, that My name may be there forever; and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.” 

2 Chronicles 7:13-16

Specific Prayer Topic for Today

Praying for our Supreme Court and the Judicial System

President Trump’s judicial nominees have faced unprecedented opposition from the Senate in his first 2 1/2 years in office. Democratic senators voted against potential judges in higher numbers than at any point in American history. His nominees contend with far more ‘no’ votes and delay tactics than any past President’s. From George Washington’s presidency through Barack Obama’s, just 6 % of judges for US District Court, US Circuit Court and the US Supreme Court received even a single ‘no’ vote. The President’s picks are opposed by at least one senator 71 % of the time. On appointments to circuit courts specifically, that number jumps to 88.4 % while it was under 12 % for both Bush and Obama.

We pray:

• In gratitude for the Senate having stayed in Republican hands, and ask that in 2020, it will do the same!
• For the President’s continued success in installing judges… filling 43 vacancies on the circuit courts, thus far…17 more than any of his 5 most recent predecessors.
