Thursday, December 12, 2024 – 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!
“Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
Do not cast me away from Your Presence, and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of Your salvation, and uphold me by Your generous Spirit.
Then I will teach transgressors Your ways, and sinners shall be converted to You.”
Psalm 51:10-13
We sing: Create in me a Clean Heart, O God
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from Thy Presence, O Lord. Take not Thy holy Spirit from me.
Restore unto me the joy of Thy salvation; and renew a right spirit within me.
(repeat)
~~~
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 duly elected (and now re-elected) President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, as he prepares to be inaugurated as our 47th President.
May 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.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump.
During the final 70 days before the Inauguration, we are standing
in FAITH AND HOPE AND OBEDIENCE TO OUR CALLING…
praying that he will be alive to be inaugurated as our 47th President on January 20th, 2025!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 918
The Righteous Return of President Trump to the White House! – Part 818
“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith,
with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water.”
Hebrews 10:22
Today, we conclude our review of information about America’s Constitution and the political tradition that comes from it. This is Part 3 of an article that explains that the Trump Mandate calls for a restoration of our Constitution’s original meaning and preeminence. Let us read and pray into it and be convicted that we must ALL do all in our power to assure we uphold and preserve our United States Constitution!
The courage of conviction that comes with faithful interpretation is exceptionally rare in our government today, almost nonexistent. However, such conviction will be necessary to restore some semblance of coherency, if not integrity, to the rule of law to America, as those terms have been rendered effectively meaningless by how far we have deviated as a society from that which gives all laws any authority at all: the Constitution. Constitutional understanding runs hand-in-hand with civic engagement – and enlightenment. Without the latter, lawmaking in the American context is like operating an airplane with no experience: a doomed endeavor. Pray.
Many times, conservatives like to be engaged in politics, a good impulse. Alas, they have no moral compass or intellectual framework by which to navigate the waters of their political expedition. Thus, without a thorough understanding of the Constitution – and the accompanying texts that aid and abet its construction, conservatives will find themselves adrift at sea, unmoored from the principles that are supposed to guide their convictions and self-identity to start. What good is it to be against the Left if you yourself are too scatterbrained or cowardly in your temperament to make any serious commitment in learning the preponderant wellspring that is the source of all your putative beliefs? It is often said that “politics is war by other means.” Much as any army would be foolish to enter battle ill-equipped with the proper weapons to take down the enemy, those conservatives who enter the political arena would be equally foolish not to have a deep-rooted knowledge in the Constitution, the founding Law and source for our political institutions, which remain, however, battered and embattled, still in operation today. Pray.
Why is the original law – and history – so important to self-conception: as both a nation and on the individual level? To most adequately know a law is to know its origins – the Constitution is the founding law, responsible for giving birth to our grand and still-ongoing political experiment in latter-day republican government. The original law is the most important because it gives meaning to all else which follows it. This is intuitive, a function of both common sense and logic. Perhaps the irrational mind would no longer find that logic to be intuitive, but it remains so, insofar as man is an animal distinguished by his rational faculties, his ability to reason, and can meaningfully communicate in a way that gives him a sense of his placement in time – with a past, present, and future. (This is what Aristotle meant when he declared man to be “a political animal.”) Only squirrels out in the garden live moment-by-passing-moment. The beasts of nature, in this sense, lack history: there is no meaningful progress in animal societies. That man did achieve political progress “in the course of human events,” one which – in the American context – culminated in the Revolution, is what was once thought to have differentiated thinking man, Homo sapiens from Homo brutalis. Thought, extrapolated across human society affords not just a political elite, but even regular men and women of lesser reasoning faculties, the opportunity to live out lives far and away superior to animals found in nature. The practical wisdom of the every day, in this context, is what was once termed “common sense.” It is this same type of wisdom which informs America’s political thought. Furthermore, it adeptly gauges the proper temperament for constitutional interpretation and application. Pray.
The Constitution was not, as liberal jurists would have you believe, a living document – (one where all sorts of extra-constitutional ideals and fancies might be read into the document, in devotion to a larger principle not found within the text itself.) This is pure political idealism, and dangerous, especially in America. Though idealism has its place in certain discrete situations, moderated by the heavy hand of rational judgment, in the American political context, much less so than in other contexts like France and Russia, which underwent political revolutions of their own, idealism is invariably subordinated to pragmatism and basic common sense.
When Donald Trump offered a return to “basic common sense” on the campaign trail this cycle, a line that he repeatedly made at rallies, he was yet again making direct invocation to this grand American tradition of constitutional governance. Whether deliberately or not, he tapped into the very psychology – or essence – of our political self-framing as Americans. Common sense, or political pragmatism, informs constitutional interpretation – and should stand as the great moderating force in administering our public affairs. Pragmatism dictates that words not inscribed on paper be not given significant authority or credence in a legal context. Thus, in faithfully interpreting the Constitution, the text reigns supreme. A written constitutional tradition dictates that textual prerogatives, certainly over the whims and caprices of judges or bureaucrats (whose authority themselves rest on dubious, extra-constitutional grounds), are of first priority. In fact, the constitutional text occupies such a privileged perch in our civic and legal tradition as Americans, a people governed by the rule of law, that nothing else comes even close to its gravitas. Likewise, anything that competes against the textual prerogative – whether an agency or court order – must be read in light of the text of the document. If there is a conflict, the countervailing interpretation must yield to the text: every single time.
That should not even need to be stated. It should be so obvious as to be self-evident to all well-informed Americans. Those who claim to take lordship in the mantle of Americanism but find themselves noxiously at odds with anything said in this article, have abdicated their natural birthright. They do not belong to the grand and illustrious tradition of what it means to be American in any meaningful sense. In fact, one could go a step further and declare them enemies of that grand tradition. And what is to be done with political enemies? There are really only two choices: get on board or be swept aside. (Amen and amen!) Pray.
We pray:
In gratitude for this forthright, clear explanation of our government and the Constitution upon which it has been based, Pray.
May all Americans continue to study and understand our historic roots, and come fully into alignment, in order to uphold the foundational principles established by our Founding Fathers. 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 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.
