Tuesday, February 18, 2020 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 #
We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Praise the Lord, call upon His name; declare His deeds among the peoples, make mention that His name is exalted. Sing to the Lord, for He has done excellent things; this is known in all the earth.
Isaiah 12:4-5
We sing: To God Be the Glory
To God be the glory, great things He has done. So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,
Who yielded His life an atonement for sin and opened the life gate that all may go in.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice!
Come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, give Him the glory, great things He has done!
O perfect redemption the purchase of Blood, to every believer the promise of God.
The vilest offender who truly believes, that moment, from Jesus, a pardon receives.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice!
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice!
Come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, give Him the glory, great things He has done!

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 and cover him with the Blood of Jesus, as he passes through difficult moments of his Presidency. Let him respond to every situation by the leading of the Holy Spirit!
We refer those to You who are plotting and planning the demise of our beloved President!
We say “No!” to them and ask that You expose and foil all their plans! Thank You, Lord!
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage, their son Barron and all their family members.
We bless our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those serving in this Administration.
We pray for the Federal Reserve Board members, to use their power to boost our nation’s economy.
Let them no longer resist our President’s requests to act in accord with what is good for the USA!
The 24/7 NSPC is praying for the 2020 National Elections,
positioning ourselves in intercession before the Lord on behalf of our President and nation!
COUNTDOWN: 260 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.”
1 Corinthians 6:20
Strategic Focus for Tuesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
HIJACKING CHRISTIANITY
“For you have said in your heart: ‘I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation on the farthest sides of the north;
I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High.’”
Isaiah 14:13-14
When we sing: “Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear His voice!” and through our lives and our ministries, call people to “Come to the Father, through Jesus the Son”, not everyone will respond appropriately! It is not our” job” to coerce, simply to declare Who He is and what He has done, proclaiming His Lordship over us, “body and spirit” and being who we say we are…His…we model what the life of one who has been redeemed looks like!
That redemption came at a precious price: Jesus’ body was beaten, pierced and hung on a cross for us, and His precious Blood was spilled out…so that we might have the opportunity to enter into a relationship with our Heavenly Father. What a great exchange…His life for ours! Through His loving sacrifice, He redeemed us, paying a debt we never could have paid! How great love! How great should our love and gratitude be to Him… for all He’s done!
We pray:
- Lord Jesus, we bow down and worship You as our Savior and Lord! All life…our hope…this nation’s future…it’s all in Your hands! Help us to live for You, trusting and believing Your Word in every aspect of life!
Sadly, there are those who have rejected this Great Love, who do not value Jesus’ sacrifice and choose to go their own way…to be their own gods…or serve other gods. They echo the words of Lucifer in Isaiah 14, declaring their “I will’s”…which will ultimately be their downfall …as surely as they were his!
Ecclesiastes 1:9 tells us that “there is nothing new under the sun”. When asked: “What is your opinion on homosexuality?”…author / evangelist Mario Murillo’s answer was simple, “My opinion does not matter, but I will tell you what the Word of God says about it.” The interview abruptly ended when Murillo wouldn’t offer his own viewpoint, for which he would surely have attacked for being a “homophobe”. Like so many on the far left, the reporter didn’t want to expose their true feelings…their anti-Bible attitude…to the millions of Americans who believe the Bible to be the inerrant Word of God…the FINAL WORD!
In Luke 4:1-14, we read how Jesus responded when he was in the wilderness and being tempted. Every time satan asked Him a question, Jesus answered him with scripture. The devil wanted to twist and distort scripture for his own purposes, but Jesus saw right through it and refused to take the bait. He had the FINAL WORD!
We pray:
- In gratitude for this example of Jesus having undergone temptation, so that we know that we are never alone in such challenges, but that He has equipped us to deal with satan as He did…led by the Spirit and speaking the Word of God!
There are many in this world who are making the same attempt to deceive and lure believers into accepting false doctrine…and Pete Buttigieg is one of them! Running on the Democrat ticket, aspiring to be president, he claims to be a Christian while openly and brazenly saying that he is “married”…to a man…something the Bible completely condemns. He has a “deceptive pattern’ of selectively quoting parts of the Bible, attempting to use them to his advantage, so as to appear Christian. Like many hypocritical politicians, he knows being “seen” as a Christian can get him votes. Buttigieg has said that he believes there are “mistakes” in the Bible and feels that he is “qualified” to differentiate by which verses we should abide. If he doesn’t agree with what the WORD says, he ignores it! That is pure arrogance, for is actually exalting himself above God.
We pray:
- Lord, when we read the “I wills in Isaiah 14’s, we weep and repent on behalf of all those who have chosen to “say in their hearts”.. (hearts that were created to love, honor, and adore You)…that they prefer themselves to YOU…the creature to the Creator! We honor You and will abide by Your WORD, and no others!
Pete Buttigieg’s “brand” of Christianity seeks to meld two utterly incompatible and irreconcilable views…and he appears to get away with it in public because the media never question anything those on the left say. In a culture that is so highly subjective and emotional, statements like his are taken at face value…and rarely followed out to their logical conclusion. Buttigieg has no business being in the presidential race. He is dishonest as well and perverse, and in appropriating only the parts of the Bible he likes, he is, in essence, attempting to hijack Christianity.
This hijacking has happened before…in the political arena and by one who occupied the highest office! Barack Obama agreed with the killing of babies at any point during pregnancy, even those who survived abortion and were born alive! That vociferous disregard for human life is condemned by God, Who tells us to CHOOSE LIFE!
Obama also asserted that what he calls “gay love” is a gift from God, however, the Bible clearly forbids such perversion, and lists it, along with several other sins that are abhorrent to the Lord.
“Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?
Do not be deceived, neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor a catamite (a man who is used sexually as a woman), nor a sodomite (a man who uses men sexually as a woman), neither thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor thieves will inherit the kingdom of God.
1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Further, Obama said if “the winds of change” turned against Islam, he would stand with Islam. How can anyone who calls Jesus “Lord” say that? Despite it all, Obama called himself a Christian…and people bought into that lie…which allowed him to “hijack” Christianity and get the votes of millions of undiscerning Christians. Sadly, even Christianity Today once carried an article defending Obama’s “conversion.” Where is our discernment?
We pray:
- Holy Spirit, we need You to guide and direct us, to give us wisdom, understanding, counsel, and discernment so that we do not get trapped in the webs of the lies or become confused by the nets of deception that have been woven and carefully spread over this nation, to blind the people!
- We declare that those in darkness will see the LIGHT of Christ and exit the darkness in great numbers…as part of the great end-times harvest! We call them forth, Lord!
The trend to uncouple Christ and the Bible by those who have “chosen to ‘couple’ abberently” is by no means limited to politicians or others who have chosen to reject God! Whoever trusts in themselves more than the Bible, whoever tries to say that same-sex marriage and Christianity are compatible, as Buttigieg has, are modeling a “non-Biblical faux (artificial) Christianity”…and that is lethal. A con artist like Buttigieg needs to be rejected for his abject dishonesty. To use Jesus to get votes, while living in open rebellion to the WORD OF GOD, is to embrace pure evil.
A reporter on CNN said, “Pete Buttigieg’s rise opens doors to donors that fueled Obama.” The best argument for rejecting Buttigieg is that he is following in Obama’s footsteps. We cannot afford to let him hijack Christianity like Obama did.
We pray:
- That we would be so filled with God’s Word that when someone tries to trick or confuse us by twisting scripture for their own advantage, we will quickly discern and be able to reply with His Word in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit!
- That this nation would put those in office who will glorify God and help us to fulfill the destiny He has for us!

An open letter to Nancy Pelosi…published on FB by a woman who openly confronted and spoke the truth, expressing the sentiments of many of us! Read and pray that Pelosi, Schumer, Shiff, and Nadler and all that are like-minded will be removed from office and all ability to influence others will be lost!
Mrs. Pelosi,
I am speaking to you “woman to woman’. I don’t care about our political parties or our individual beliefs right now. I’m simply speaking to you as a woman in the year 2020. You don’t know me, so to be fair I’ll give you a bit of background. I am my children’s teacher. I educate their young minds every single day. I do so willingly and with a sense of responsibility unlike any other. I have been sexually assaulted twice in my life. When I was 14, a man stalked my every move for months and then broke in through my bedroom window at 3:00 a.m. When I was in my early twenties, I was assaulted by a different man while I was working at an apartment community. I’ve been ruthlessly bullied by a girl in high school who I later learned has legitimate mental health issues. I’ve had multiple doctors strongly urge me to abort my baby because there was less than a 1% chance of her surviving the next 28 weeks of the pregnancy. Her name is Grace Elizabeth. She’s 15 years old and smart as a whip. I’m a woman who cares about other women. I care.
Last night, President Trump gave the State of the Union address. You fidgeted in your seat more than my kids did in church when they were toddlers. You made smug, condescending faces and you used hand motions and little head shakes to tell “your people” when and when not to clap, when to stand, basically how to act during the entire speech. I must tell you, Mrs. Pelosi, this is an amazing time in history for us because my girls and I are studying American government. The past semester has been rich with opportunities to watch history unfold live not just in a textbook.
You are part of a party that claims to promote diversity and individual freedoms, yet you “direct” those around you as to when to sit, stand, clap, or show emotion. Unfortunately, you seem to have a very difficult time when someone disagrees with your opinion. You are a woman in a role of leadership and you’ve looked less like a leader than the pint-sized bully at the local preschool. You, Mrs. Pelosi, are a mean girl. I’ve dealt with enough them to know. You want men / the world to respect us and treats us as equals, then don’t act like a deranged woman who’s in desperate need of some alone time in the bathroom to eat her hidden stash of chocolate in front of millions of people.
You didn’t use the time-honored words to introduce the president. You allowed your personal feelings to override anything that looks like what you’re paid to do. You are paid to represent the American people and to do your best while you have the position. You’re not paid to have a temper tantrum upon your mini throne.
It’s OK if you don’t feel love for the current president, but do you think that ripping up a speech that recognized and honored a baby born prematurely, a young lady receiving a big honor, a respected military man turning 100 years old, a soldier returning home, and more is the morally right thing to do? We wonder why there’s such a lack of respect for elders and authority in this country. You, ma’am, were a perfect example for the reason—you, you who are an elected “leader” of this great nation, acted like an enraged toddler whose Goldfish were taken away before you were ready. Sadly, you have repeatedly allowed the vitriol in your heart to overflow into your work.
You can rip up a copy of the president’s speech while trying to look cute and powerful to your cronies, but what worries me is that one day you’ll decide it’s time to rip up the Constitution. The 2020 election is coming up, and I pray that the people of this great land will recognize mental illness when they see it and allow you some much-needed time off to get some help. Please, get some help.
Humbly,
Shannon Schick
