“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 and this call, at the top of every hour,
the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will take the first 3 minutes to bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss, then pray a shield of protection over the call 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 and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for the protection of our President, Donald Trump and cover him with the Blood of Jesus.
Thank You for instructing and guiding him, giving him wisdom through Your Holy Spirit.
We bless his wife, our First Lady, Melania, their young son Barron and each of their family members.
We also cover our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family with that Precious Blood,
and include all those in the Trump Administration who are serving You and our nation!
The 24/7 NSPC has called the Body of Christ nationwide to pray for the 2020 National Elections,
mobilizing intercessors for a concerted effort from February 1, 2019 through November 3, 2020
…642 days of intercession for the 2020 elections…
in which we will position ourselves in prayer before the Lord on behalf of our President and nation!
Let us pray into this verse for our elections:
“Also I will make justice the measuring line, And righteousness the plummet;
The hail will sweep away the refuge of lies, And the waters will overflow the hiding place.
Your covenant with death will be annulled, And your agreement with Sheol will not stand”
Isaiah 28:17-18
Strategic Focus for Saturday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES
SECURING OUR BORDERS
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, You will revive me; You will stretch out Your hand Against the wrath of my enemies, And Your right hand will save me. The Lord will perfect that which concerns me; Your mercy, O Lord, endures forever; do not forsake the works of Your hands.
Psalm 138:7-8
HISTORICAL PRECEDENT: The President is using his clear authority to declare a national emergency as allowed under the National Emergencies Act. Since 1976, numerous US Presidents have declared nearly 60 national emergencies. Most of the previously declared national emergencies have been continually renewed and some, after many years, are still in effect. States of emergency that have been declared along the border in the past:
- Former Arizona Governor Janet Napolitano, who became President Obama’s DHS Secretary, declared a state of emergency along the border in 2005.
- Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson also declared a state of emergency at the border in 2005.
- Former President George W. Bush and former President Obama both directed the use of the military to assist DHS in securing and managing the Southern Border.
- Former President Bush declared a national emergency in 2001, which invoked reprogramming authority granted by Title 10 United States Code, section 2808. Both Bush and former President Obama used that authority a total of 18 times to fund projects between 2001 and 2014.
Did Democrats complain about these? NO! Then why now? They hate the President…pure and simple!
One of the main reasons President Trump was elected was because of his promise to secure the Southern Border… and, since his first day in office, he has been committed to following through on that promise. Yesterday, he moved to secure our border both by signing legislation and declaring a National Emergency.
“I will never waver from my sacred duty to defend this Nation and its people. We will get the job done.”
Sections of the border wall are already being built, and the legislation along with his Executive actions will be building on that progress. This action taken by the President fills in some of the gaps that Congress was unwilling to tackle through legislation, including the increased funding to secure our Southern Border.
President Trump secured a number of significant legislative victories in the Homeland Security appropriations bill that will further his effort to secure the Southern Border and protect our country. Look at those things that were accomplished today, and pray into each of these points, agreeing with and standing in support of our President!
Read then pray:
- The funding bill contains resources and additional provisions to secure the border and strengthen immigration enforcement.
- There is $1.375 B for 55 miles of “border barrier” (wall) in dangerous and drug smuggling areas in the Rio Grande Valley, where it is desperately needed. More than 40 % of all border apprehensions, along with the most known deaths of illegal border crossers occurred in the Rio Grande Valley sector in 2018.
- $415 million will go toward the humanitarian crisis at the border: in medical care, transportation, processing centers, and consumables.
- Efforts were blocked to undercut Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) ability to uphold our laws and detain illegal aliens, including criminals.
- ICE funding will support nearly 5,000 additional beds to detain illegal aliens and keep criminals off our streets.
- Customs and Border Protection will receive funding for 600 additional officers.
- This bill will help keep deadly drugs out of our communities by increasing drug detection at ports of entry, including opioid detection staffing, labs, and equipment.
President Trump is taking Executive action to ensure we stop the national security and humanitarian crisis at our Southern Border. President Trump is using his legal authority to take Executive action to secure additional resources, just as he promised.
Read then pray:
- He is declaring a national emergency that makes available additional troops and funding for military construction.
- With the Homeland Security appropriations, the Administration has so far identified up to $8.1 billion that will be available to build the border wall once a national emergency is declared.
- These additional funds include:
- About $601 million from the Treasury Forfeiture Fund
- Up to $2.5 billion under the Department of Defense funds transferred for Support for Counterdrug Activities (Title 10 United States Code, section 284)
- Up to $3.6 billion reallocated from Department of Defense military construction projects under the President’s declaration of a national emergency (Title 10 United States Code, section 2808)
- These funding sources will be used sequentially and as needed.]
- The Department of Homeland Security, Department of Defense, and the Army Corps of Engineers are working to create a prioritized list of segments and a work plan for the remainder of 2019 and beyond.
- New projects could include: new levee wall, new and replacement primary pedestrian barrier, new vehicle-to-pedestrian barrier, and new secondary barrier.
President Trump is taking the necessary steps to address the crisis at our Southern Border and stop crime and drugs from flooding into our Nation.
Read then pray:
- Cartels, traffickers, and gangs, like the vile MS-13 gang, have taken advantage of our weak borders for their own gain.
- Immigration officers have made 266,000 arrests of criminal aliens in the last two fiscal years.
- This includes aliens charged or convicted of nearly 100,000 assaults, 30,000 sex crimes, and 4,000 killings.
- Tons of deadly drugs have flooded across the border and into our communities, taking countless American lives.
- Methamphetamine, heroin, cocaine and fentanyl all flow across our Southern Border and destroy our communities.
- More than 70,000 Americans died of drug overdoses in 2017 alone.
- Human traffickers exploit our borders to traffic young girls and women into our country and sell them into prostitution and slavery.
- Massive caravans of migrants view our unsecure border as a way to gain illegal entry into our country and take advantage of our nonsensical immigration loopholes.
We pray:
- Lord, cover and protect our President from the arrows of hatred and murder that are fired at him daily by those who oppose him as he works to preserve and defend our nation! Hide him under Your wings and cause his enemies to be vanquished! He is Yours, Lord! We stand for and with him, now, always!

Presidential Proclamation
on Declaring a National Emergency Concerning the Southern Border of the United States
NATIONAL SECURITY & DEFENSE
Issued on: February 15, 2019
The current situation at the southern border presents a border security and humanitarian crisis that threatens core national security interests and constitutes a national emergency. The southern border is a major entry point for criminals, gang members, and illicit narcotics. The problem of large-scale unlawful migration through the southern border is long-standing, and despite the executive branch’s exercise of existing statutory authorities, the situation has worsened in certain respects in recent years. In particular, recent years have seen sharp increases in the number of family units entering and seeking entry to the United States and an inability to provide detention space for many of these aliens while their removal proceedings are pending. If not detained, such aliens are often released into the country and are often difficult to remove from the United States because they fail to appear for hearings, do not comply with orders of removal, or are otherwise difficult to locate. In response to the directive in my April 4, 2018, memorandum and subsequent requests for support by the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Department of Defense has provided support and resources to the Department of Homeland Security at the southern border. Because of the gravity of the current emergency situation, it is necessary for the Armed Forces to provide additional support to address the crisis.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, by the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, including sections 201 and 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1601 et seq.), hereby declare that a national emergency exists at the southern border of the United States, and that section 12302 of title 10, United States Code, is invoked and made available, according to its terms, to the Secretaries of the military departments concerned, subject to the direction of the Secretary of Defense in the case of the Secretaries of the Army, Navy, and Air Force. To provide additional authority to the Department of Defense to support the Federal Government’s response to the emergency at the southern border, I hereby declare that this emergency requires use of the Armed Forces and, in accordance with section 301 of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1631), that the construction authority provided in section 2808 of title 10, United States Code, is invoked and made available, according to its terms, to the Secretary of Defense and, at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense, to the Secretaries of the military departments. I hereby direct as follows:
Section 1. The Secretary of Defense, or the Secretary of each relevant military department, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, shall order as many units or members of the Ready Reserve to active duty as the Secretary concerned, in the Secretary’s discretion, determines to be appropriate to assist and support the activities of the Secretary of Homeland Security at the southern border.
Sec. 2. The Secretary of Defense, the Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary of Homeland Security, and, subject to the discretion of the Secretary of Defense, the Secretaries of the military departments, shall take all appropriate actions, consistent with applicable law, to use or support the use of the authorities herein invoked, including, if necessary, the transfer and acceptance of jurisdiction over border lands.
Sec. 3. This proclamation is not intended to, and does not, create any right or benefit, substantive or procedural, enforceable at law or in equity by any party against the United States, its departments, agencies, or entities, its officers, employees, or agents, or any other person.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of February, in the year of our Lord two thousand nineteen, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-third.
DONALD J. TRUMP
