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 continue to pray that every spirit operating on or through those who are opposing our President will be bound and cast into the abyss, so people will have an opportunity to choose Christ…and LIFE!
We bless 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 will soon have a “footprint” in Washington, DC as “WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY” moves Pastor Ioan there to establish a HOUSE of PRAYER for the NATION! We invite those of our 24/7 family to pray into this “DC PROJECT / VISION” and to help it take shape! Send your feedback, words, scriptures and thoughts re: this assignment we are being called to…TOGETHER to us by email, to:

Strategic Focus for Wednesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES
STANDING IN THE FRAY!
“Therefore, take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.”
Ephesians 6:13
The predicted court battle against President Trump’s national emergency declaration has started. Led by California Attorney General Xavier Becerra, 16 states have filed a lawsuit in the US District Court for the Northern District of California. The Attorneys General from Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oregon and Virginia joined California in the legal action. Interestingly enough, all these AGs are…yes, DEMOCRATS!
Nevertheless, our President is STANDING IN THE FRAY! The definition of a “fray” is: “a situation of intense activity, incorporating an element of aggression or competition” and pretty much addresses the situation in which President Trump finds himself right now…(or perhaps a better phrasing of the situation would be in which he finds himself CONTINUALLY!)
As such, it behooves him to take up that armor of God, through which he is enabled to STAND and withstand! These “weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God!” 2 Corinthians 10:4.
We pray:
- That as our President receives and is clothed in the whole armor of God…(the gifts, virtues and character of Christ)…that he will not only WALK and WAR in it…but be enabled to stand in it.
As each piece of armor is called out, please invite participants to pray into it for President Trump.
- Truth
- Righteousness
- Peace
- Faith
- Salvation
- The Word of God
- Prayerfulness
- We will now ask that as we have prayed for this for our beloved President, we will also receive these precious gifts for ourselves!
Let us take a moment and prayer corporately for ourselves and one another, that we might each be fully “dressed” in the full armor of God.
The prospect of a wave of lawsuits in court was expected. The National Emergencies Act allows the President to declare a national emergency and unlock a stash of funds by invoking certain statutory authority. The President has wide discretion over what constitutes a national emergency, and as a result, legal experts argue that fighting the declaration on the basis of the emergency itself will likely be difficult.
It’s not just lawsuits that the administration has to face, but also the possibility of a joint resolution put forth by House Democrats to terminate the declaration. The resolution would need to be voted on by the House and then the Senate, before heading to the President’s desk, in which case the President would cast the first veto of his Presidency.
National emergencies can last for one year and the President can renew the declaration 90 days prior to its expiration. Every 6 months, Congress can consider whether to put forward a joint resolution to terminate an emergency. There have been 58 national emergencies between 1978-2018…of which, 31 are in effect today.
We pray:
- Lord, Your Word tells us that we are to seek Your guidance and “count the cost” before we act. We believe our President has done that. Now, having made the decisions he has, we ask that You will uphold him in every arena, and cause those who have come against him and the protection of this nation, to be soundly defeated! VINDICATE HIM and give him this VICTORY, for Your Name’s sake!

A VERY SPECIFIC STANCE
“I will never waver from my sacred duty to defend this Nation and its people. We will get the job done.”
When President Trump spoke these words, he continued that resolution by signing a separate statement on February 15th, the same day he signed the border wall funding bill. As we read his “statement”, we are reassured that he and his legal team have read the entire bill and identified the “land mines” that he knew the Democrats would have included. He and his team have specifically itemized every item that Nancy Pelosi and the Dems have attempted to insert in order to limit the President in his Executive powers through legislative overreach or restrictions on funding to tie his hands. He has also pushed back on any provisions that would require Congressional legislation and is standing in his Presidential authority granted by the Constitution, saying: “My Administration will continue the practice of treating provisions like these as advisory and non-binding.”
President Trump has made a bold reply to the shenanigans of the deep state and this has not been reported anywhere. So, for any who make think that the Dems won this round, think again! He will NEVER surrender to the plans of the enemy to take him down. Let us, his intercessors, be as resolute! He is always 5 steps ahead of the deep state, so let us continue to trust what the Lord God Almighty is doing in and through this man that He has anointed and appointed…”for such a time as this!”
Here are highlights of that Statement by our President. Please read and pray in agreement with him about these traps that we were warned of during last Friday’s SHABBAT CALL, which the President has exposed and addressed in this statement! (full transcript at the end of the focus)
Statement by the President
February 15, 2019
Today, I have signed into law House Joint Resolution. 31, the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019” (the “Act”), which authorizes appropriations to fund the operation of a number of agencies in the Federal Government through September 30, 2019.
- In signing the Act, I reiterate the well-established understanding of the executive branch that these types of provisions encompass only military actions for which providing advance notice is feasible and consistent with the President’s constitutional authority and duty as Commander in Chief to ensure national security.
- Numerous provisions could, in certain circumstances, interfere with the exercise of the President’s constitutional authorities to negotiate international agreements, to articulate the position of the United States in international fora, to receive ambassadors, and to recognize foreign governments. My Administration will treat each of these provisions consistent with the President’s constitutional authorities with respect to foreign relations.
- Legislation that significantly impedes the President’s ability to supervise the executive branch or obtain the assistance of aides in this function violates the separation of powers by undermining the President’s ability to fulfill his constitutional responsibilities, including the responsibility to faithfully execute the laws of the United States. My Administration will, therefore, construe these restrictions consistent with these Presidential duties.
- Several provisions mandate or regulate the submission of certain executive branch information to the Congress. I will treat these provisions in a manner consistent with the President’s constitutional authority to withhold information that could impair foreign relations, national security, the deliberative processes of the executive branch, or the performance of the President’s constitutional duties. I will construe these provisions not to apply to circumstances that would detract from my authority to supervise, control, and correct communications, including in cases where such communications would be unlawful or could reveal confidential information protected by executive privilege.
- Numerous provisions purport, in certain circumstances, to condition the authority of officers to spend or reallocate funds on the approval of congressional committees. These are impermissible forms of congressional aggrandizement in the execution of the laws other than by the enactment of statutes. My Administration will continue the practice of treating provisions like these as advisory and non-binding… and will not treat spending decisions as dependent on the approval of congressional committees.
For these and all the BOLD stands that our President is taking, we thank You, Lord! Guide, guard, protect and defend him as he works to implement God-given plans to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!
Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for our President and his Administration
When I read disrespectful comments about our President, it takes every fiber of the Spirit of God in me to walk as a disciple of Jesus Christ! I must walk with …”patience, forgiveness and kindness”. God knows I Love HIM so much, I try my very best! I serve a President who strives for justice, has mercy for the voiceless, protects our freedom and faith, (even when used against him). He fights against evil and anti-American sentiment, he cares for families, children’s safety and the welfare of mankind and he really wants to truly improve our lives by working tirelessly for us all. When abuse and disrespect is promoted by anyone in or out of power, I will follow the Word, “Vengeance is of the Lord”! 🙏 Lord avenge us! 🙏 As the secret service do, whoever attacks my President is attacking me! – Lourdes Aguirre – Fmr State of FL Director of Faith Engagement for the GOP
We pray:
- That we will each experience and accept a love for and protectiveness toward our President, and that we will speak up for him whenever the occasion arises. We will not be cowed or silenced, but rather, we will speak the TRUTH IN LOVE!!
~~~~~
Hineni, Adonai! Here I am, Lord!
Engaging in a Warfare of Love! The Battle of the Bride!
KADIMA! Onward…forward!
“LAYNA!” LIGHT and TRUTH!
Be Strong…Courageous…Brave!
Unashamed of the Gospel of Christ!
God’s Champions for Life!

UNEDITED COPY
Statement by the President
Issued on: February 15, 2019
Today, I have signed into law H.J. Res. 31, the “Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2019” (the “Act”), which authorizes appropriations to fund the operation of a number of agencies in the Federal Government through September 30, 2019.
-Certain provisions of the Act (such as Division F, under the heading “Contribution for International Peacekeeping Activities”) would require advance notice to the Congress before the President may direct certain military actions or provide certain forms of military assistance. In signing the Act, I reiterate the well-established understanding of the executive branch that these types of provisions encompass only military actions for which providing advance notice is feasible and consistent with the President’s constitutional authority and duty as Commander in Chief to ensure national security. In addition, Division C, section 527, and Division A, section 516, both restrict the transfer of Guantanamo detainees to the United States. I will treat these, and similar provisions, consistent with the President’s constitutional authority as Commander in Chief
.
-Numerous provisions could, in certain circumstances, interfere with the exercise of the President’s constitutional authorities to negotiate international agreements (such as Division C, sections 509, 518, and 530; and Division F, sections 7010(c) and 7013(a)), to articulate the position of the United States in international fora (such as Division F, sections 7025(c), 7029(a), (b)(1), 7031(d)(2), 7042(h)(1), 7043(g)(1), 7047(b)(3), 7054(b), and 7060(c)(2)(D), (3)), to receive ambassadors (such as Division F, section 7031(c)), and to recognize foreign governments (such as Division F, section 7047(b)(2)(A)). My Administration will treat each of these provisions consistent with the President’s constitutional authorities with respect to foreign relations.
-Division C, section 537, provides that the Department of Justice may not use any funds to prevent implementation of medical marijuana laws by various States and territories. I will treat this provision consistent with the President’s constitutional responsibility to faithfully execute the laws of the United States.
-Certain provisions within Division D, title II, under the heading “Office of Management and Budget — Salaries and Expenses” impose restrictions on supervision by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) of work performed by executive departments and agencies, including provisos that no funds made available to OMB “may be expended for the altering of the annual work plan developed by the Corps of Engineers for submission to the Committees on Appropriations”; that “none of the funds provided in this or prior Acts shall be used, directly or indirectly, by the Office of Management and Budget, for evaluating or determining if water resource project or study reports submitted by the Chief of Engineers acting through the Secretary of the Army are in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and requirements relevant to the Civil Works water resource planning process”; and that “none of the funds appropriated in this Act for the Office of Management and Budget may be used for the purpose of reviewing any agricultural marketing orders or any activities or regulations under the provisions of the Agricultural Marketing Agreement Act of 1937 (7 U.S.C. 601 et seq.).” The President has well-established authority to supervise and oversee the executive branch and to rely on subordinates, including aides within the Executive Office of the President, to assist in supervising the executive branch. Legislation that significantly impedes the President’s ability to supervise the executive branch or obtain the assistance of aides in this function violates the separation of powers by undermining the President’s ability to fulfill his constitutional responsibilities, including the responsibility to faithfully execute the laws of the United States. My Administration will, therefore, construe these restrictions in Division C, title II consistent with these Presidential duties.
-Several provisions (such as Division F, section 7041(b)(3)) mandate or regulate the submission of certain executive branch information to the Congress. I will treat these provisions in a manner consistent with the President’s constitutional authority to withhold information that could impair foreign relations, national security, the deliberative processes of the executive branch, or the performance of the President’s constitutional duties. In particular, Division D, section 713, prohibits the use of appropriations to pay the salary of any Federal officer or employee who interferes with or prohibits certain official communications between Federal employees and Members of Congress or of any Federal officer or employee who takes adverse action against an officer or employee because of such communications. I will construe these provisions not to apply to circumstances that would detract from my authority to supervise, control, and correct communications by Federal officers and employees with the Congress related to their official duties, including in cases where such communications would be unlawful or could reveal confidential information protected by executive privilege.
-Certain provisions (such as Division F, section 7064; and Division G, section 418) prohibit the use of funds to deny an Inspector General access to agency records or documents. I will construe these, and similar provisions, consistent with my authority to control the dissemination of information protected by executive privilege.
-Certain provisions prohibit the use of funds to recommend certain legislation to the Congress (Division B, section 715), or require recommendations of certain legislation to the Congress (Division A, section 537). Because the Constitution gives the President the authority to recommend “such Measures as he shall judge necessary and expedient”, my Administration will continue the practice of treating provisions like these as advisory and non-binding.
-Numerous provisions purport, in certain circumstances, to condition the authority of officers to spend or reallocate funds on the approval of congressional committees (Division B, sections 702, 706, and 716(a), (b); Division E, sections 403 and 409; Division G, sections 188, 405, and 406). These are impermissible forms of congressional aggrandizement in the execution of the laws other than by the enactment of statutes. My Administration will make appropriate efforts to notify the relevant committees before taking the specified actions and will accord the recommendations of such committees all appropriate and serious consideration, but it will not treat spending decisions as dependent on the approval of congressional committees.
