Sunday, February 16, 2025 – 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!
“Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name,
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”
Philippines 2:9-11
We sing: Before the Throne of God Above
Before the throne of God above, I have a strong, a perfect plea.
A great High Priest, whose name is Love, Who ever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands, My name is written on His heart.
I know that while in heaven He stands, no tongue can bid me thence depart.
No tongue can bid me thence depart.
When Satan tempts me to despair, and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look, and see Him there, Who made an end of all my sin.
Because a sinless Savior died, my sinful soul is counted free.
For God, the Just, is satisfied to look on Him and pardon me…to look on Him and pardon me!
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! Praise the One, Risen Son of God!
Behold him there, the Risen Lamb my perfect, spotless righteousness,
The great unchangeable I AM, The King of Glory and of Grace!
One in Himself, I cannot die, my soul is purchased by His Blood. My life is hid with Christ on high
with Christ, my Savior and my God…with Christ, my Savior and my God.
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! Praise the One, Risen Son of God!
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! Praise the One, Risen Son of God!
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! Praise the One, Risen Son of God!
HalleluYah! HalleluYah! Praise the One, Risen Son of 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.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump,
asking that he serve his entire 4 year term as our 47th US President to the GLORY OF GOD!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Sunday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
ENGAGING IN A WARFARE OF LOVE: THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, GOD’S CHAMPION FOR WORLD EVANGELISM AND COMPASSION MINISTRY – PART 28
“He who says to the wicked, ‘You are righteous,’ him the people will curse; nations will abhor him.
But those who rebuke the wicked will have delight, and a good blessing will come upon them.”
Proverbs 24:24-25
Former editor of Charisma, Lee Grady addresses the question on everyone’s minds:
WE REQUIRE ACCOUNTABILITY FROM CHARITIES—WHY DON’T WE REQUIRE IT FROM USAID?
America should never stop being generous, but we must reevaluate foreign aid. Last week some Americans got upset when President Trump shut off the flow of foreign aid to thousands of humanitarian projects so that his newly-formed Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, can audit the payment process to eliminate wasteful spending. Some Democrats accused Trump of being a dictator because he temporarily suspended the massive USAID program. Others expressed fears that the cutoff would endanger people who depend on the funds—even though newly appointed Secretary of State Marco Rubio pledged that emergency medical services, food and shelter would be exempted from the spending freeze.
I’m a humanitarian myself. I direct an international Christian charitable organization that builds women’s shelters and runs vocational training programs for vulnerable women in 11 countries—five of them in Africa. Because I depend totally on donations from generous Americans, I understand the need for strict accountability. I’m answerable to a board of directors, I comply with federal tax laws and I strive to keep overhead low so every dollar we receive from donors makes maximum impact overseas. That why I was disgusted, honestly, when I learned that USAID has been flushing millions and millions of dollars down the drain. The government audit, led by DOGE director Elon Musk, has shocked average U.S. taxpayers who are struggling to pay their bills. The waste of public funds has already become a front-page government scandal, and DOGE has not even started auditing other federal agencies. Pray.
In the past few days Americans have learned that our hard-earned dollars are being misused in shocking ways. Some of the worst examples include:
— $241 million for “transgender animal testing,” which involves performing gender transition surgeries on rats and monkeys, and giving them hormone treatments. (I’m waiting for animal rights activists to protest these disgusting experiments.)
— $15 million to provide condoms to the Taliban in Afghanistan.
— $446,700 to promote the expansion of atheism in Nepal through the State Department.
— $1 million to boost French-speaking LGBTQ groups in West and Central Africa through the State Department.
— USAID paid $20,600 to produce a drag show in Ecuador, $47,020 to put on a transgender opera in Colombia, and $32,000 to publish an LGBTQ-themed comic book in Peru.
— Our government used $8,000 in tax dollars to provide programs for LGBTQ groups in Cyprus, and $1.5 million to help LGBTQ individuals in Serbia find jobs.
— Meanwhile, we spent $2.5 million to build electric vehicle charging stations in Vietnam’s largest cities.
It’s obvious that the wrong people are in charge of dispersing foreign aid. Pray.
Meanwhile, it’s no secret that money that is sent to other countries from the U.S. doesn’t always get there. A big portion of it is skimmed off the top by bureaucrats. Denis Lazaro, pastor of Rehoboth Christian Fellowship in Katwe, Uganda—where I am working this week—says it’s common knowledge that much of the aid sent from America to Uganda is misused. “When money comes here, there is a chain of government workers in charge of distribution,” Lazaro said. “It’s an opportunity to embezzle. By the time the funds get to the bottom there is seldom anything left.” Lazaro knows of one case in which funds were sent to a government agency in Uganda to provide medicines for HIV-positive patients, but the funds went to a politician. “Some leaders take this money and buy houses abroad, and send their children to schools overseas,” the pastor said. “They are using the money to make themselves rich.” Pray.
At least one African leader has spoken out in favor of President Trump’s decisions to investigate foreign aid and root out corruption. Paul Kagame, the president of Rwanda, told CNN last week that he agrees with Trump, even though it might hurt Rwanda in the short-term. “President Trump has unconventional ways of doing things,” Kagame said. “I completely agree with him on many things. I think from being hurt, we might learn some lessons.” Rwanda receives more aid from the United States than any other nation. Pray.
I’m all for charity. I’ve seen how investing $50,000 or $100,000 into a poor community in Uganda, Malawi, Pakistan or Guatemala can transform lives. But the blatant squandering of taxpayer dollars by our government must end. Jesus said: “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones. But if you are dishonest in little things, you won’t be honest with greater responsibilities” Luke 16:10 . People who squander resources shouldn’t remain in charge of them. We must demand accountability, end corruption and stop using American generosity to promote evil agendas. Pray.
We pray:
Now that the American people have been awakened by the reality of our evil circumstances, let us remain awake and remove the evil and corruption from our midst. Pray.
Let us find our voices and be unafraid to speak out against the evil agendas that have defiled our nation and our people, and have undermined our Constitution and the rule of law. 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 – and in particular, Godly men – 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.
