Thursday, February 16, 2023 – 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! 

“Sing to God, sing praises to His name;

Extol Him who rides on the clouds, by His name Yah, and rejoice before Him.” 

Psalm 68:4

We sing: Name Above All Names

From the brightness of His glory, Jesus, the Son of God, descends,

takes on the nature of a servant, Jesus, obedient to death!

The Father willed to crush Him, as a sacrifice for sin. He satisfied God’s justice, and in victory rose again!

You are highly exalted, Name above all names! Worthy of all praise, You are reigning in glory!

Jesus, You’re the King over everything, exalted to the highest place, 

given the Name above all other names!

The tomb is empty Christ has risen, Jesus, the Lamb once crucified,

The angels never cease to worship Jesus, in heaven glorified,

To Him belongs the power, the wisdom, might, and strength, 

all glory and dominion to the Lord of every age!

You are highly exalted, Name above all names! Worthy of all praise, You are reigning in glory!

Jesus, You’re the King over everything, exalted to the highest place, 

given the Name above all other names!

Our knees will bow, our tongues proclaim that You are Lord of all!

Our knees will bow, our tongues proclaim that You are Lord of all!

Our knees will bow, our tongues proclaim that You are Lord of all!

Our knees will bow, our tongues proclaim that You are Lord of all!

You are highly exalted, Name above all names! Worthy of all praise, You are reigning in glory!

Jesus, You’re the King over everything!

~~~

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.

Pray.

For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.

In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit, 

so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation. 

Pray.

For protection, provision, and peace 

for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!

As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, let those leaders that God anoints and appoints 

take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol! 

Pray. 

For us to receive and put on the full armor of God as we begin this hour, 

that we might be protected as we stand in the gap and pray for our nation! 

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 268

The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 158

 “So in the present case, I say to you, stay away from these men and let them alone, 

for if this plan or action is of men, it will be overthrown; 

but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them; or else you may even be found fighting against God.” 

Acts 5:38

REFLECTIONS FROM ASBURY (continued)

Today, we continue to “encourage ourselves” with the reports of the quiet, precious movement of God continuing into its ninth day in Wilmore, Kentucky, on the campus of Asbury University. This is not the first time an extended movement has occurred here. Similar movements happened in the 30s when a prayer meeting led by E. Stanly Jones lasted for many days. In the ’50s, two other such events occurred, and in 1970, a chapel service was extended for seven days and nights. God used that move as a catalyst for the nationwide revival called the Jesus Movement. 

For over one hundred hours, people have filled the rows of Hughes Auditorium at Asbury University to worship. It is being referred to now by the community as a revival but began on Wednesday spontaneously when students felt the urge to stay after the chapel service. “We are unique because three times a week, we stop everything that we’re doing and gather for a chapel service together,” said President of Asbury Kevin Brown. “This is just a service that hasn’t ended.”

“Nobody was in charge. There was no known leader. There was no known worship team, they rotated every two hours or so. No fancy lighting. Wood seats without cushion. The altar was full non-stop with people weeping. No offerings.” – Brent Williamson Pray

Since Wednesday, the phenomenon has spread all throughout social media, with churches and other campuses bringing busloads of people to the chapel. Some self-appointed critics of the Asbury movement were posting on social media. They had not been there; they just “heard” things were “happening”. (God always has his critics.) But, what is happening at Asbury (as I witnessed first-hand) has some beautiful, biblical components. This is what I’ve observed.

VIBRANT, POWERFUL WORSHIP Worship is being led by various student teams. Some are more proficient than others, but all are humble. There are no fog machines nor lights—just piano and guitar by unnamed students worshiping God. We are singing songs that would be familiar to most of us, often just acapella, with no instruments. Contemporary songs are sung, often interspersed by the hymns of the church. There are no words on the screen, and they do not seem to be needed. Pray.

INTENSE AND INTENTIONAL HUMILITY The wise pastors on Asbury’s staff who are gently shepherding this movement keep reminding us that there are no superstars and that no one is to be exalted except Jesus. They have encouraged us to get lower and lower and lower under Him, exalting Him higher and higher. I have personally watched them stop a person or two who may have tried to hijack the meeting. They realize that God’s Manifest Presence is precious and desperately needed. No one or thing is to quench or grieve His Spirit. Pray.

LIFE-CHANGING TESTIMONIES At times the microphones are open, for testimonies of what God has done. The crowd observes these ABCs: All glory goes to God alone, Brief, Current. Often during these testimonies, when they sense God repeating a theme, they pause and call for those with the same issues to stand, and people gather around them and pray. Pray.

GUIDED PRAYER At various times, there is corporate prayer. Instructions are given, and then small groups form and cry out to God. At the altar, there are teams of trained prayer counselors praying with those in need.

UNASHAMED WITNESS Everywhere, people are sharing with others in need outside the auditorium as God opens their lips and gives them the Acts 4 courage to “speak the word of God with boldness.” The result is what you would expect—the gospel is spreading rapidly, and many are coming to faith in Christ. Pray.

SPIRITUAL, EMOTIONAL, AND EVEN PHYSICAL HEALING Many are giving testimony of how God is instantly releasing them from years of bondage to addictions. Release from past hurts, bitterness, fear, is happening quickly for the humble ones who admit their need and cry to the Savior. Some are testifying of physical healings, just as occurred in the Book of Acts, but the dominant theme is Jesus—exalting Him, surrendering to Him, and testifying of Him to others. Pray.

PREACHING and WISE LEADERSHIP There have been moments of preaching throughout and a “regular” sermon every single night, delivered humbly by godly pastors. I’m overwhelmed by the wise, quiet, strong, loving leadership of those in charge. It is not dominating and not restrictive. They are discerning God’s movement and cooperating. They are giving instruction and direction when needed. Pray.

CONSISTENCY WITH THE WAYS OF GOD The Jesus Movement was characterized by vibrant, simple worship and constant witness to the gospel. Many churches ridiculed the “hippies” who were being saved and quenched the Spirit, unwilling to accept new wineskins. Most of these churches have plateaued and died. The churches that humbly opened the door to lost people and wisely shepherded God’s activity, exploded. Calvary Chapel, a small California church, responded to God’s leading and has started 1,400 churches. Pray.

GIVING GOD TIME AND WAITING The revival here is not hurried or rushed. There are long periods of stillness and waiting. (If you want to rush in, get a big dose of God and rush out, don’t come.) God works on His timetable. We give God little time and almost no silence. What is happening here is occurring because thirsty people are waiting before God. In time, He speaks to one, then another, bringing them back to intimacy with Him. We don’t experience God because we put Him on our timetable. Waiting is a lost art, and it is turning our full attention to Him until He makes Himself known that we need. Pray.

SPREADING Thus far, we know of 22 colleges that have sent groups of students here, hoping to see the same outbreak on their campuses. It would not surprise me if this exploded nationwide, for students are most tender and willing. It is also no coincidence that a very carefully-made movie about the Jesus Revolution is coming out by Jon Erwin, on February 22nd. The Collegiate National Day of Prayer broadcast has been scheduled for over a year to be broadcast from Asbury on February 23rd. Pray these will further accelerate God’s work. Pray.

OVERWHELMING LOVE One person said that the revival began after a pastor spoke of our hypocritical, self-seeking love. He felt that these days have reversed that and Asbury has become a sanctuary of the love of God. That is the essence of God (He IS Love) and it has been the hallmark of every moment when He is placed again on His rightful throne in our hearts, homes, and churches. “Heaven: a World of Love” was preached by Jonathan Edwards; revival is heaven coming down. You don’t have to come to Kentucky to experience revival and awakening. “The kingdom of God is here,” Jesus said, and He has gladly chosen to give us the Kingdom. Pray.

We pray:

  • Have Your way, Lord! Break through in our lives, families and communities. Help us to search our hearts and remove anything that is quenching the flow of Your Holy Spirit, so the Wind of the Spirit will blow freely through our lives and never stop. Pray.
  • Help the people of our nation to stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray. 
  • That the members of Congress will finally investigate and reject the “usurper” Biden and all the corrupt things pertaining to his faux administration, and restoring righteousness and justice for all!! 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.
