Feb 23, 2024 – Notes Shabbat Call
02-23-24 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
Pastor Ioan opened in prayer thanking God for binding us together with cords that cannot be broken. HalleluYah! Maureen agreed with Pastor Ioan in that prayer and thanked God for preserving our 24/7 call all these 7+ years and going forward!
We now pray to receive the Ephesians 6 armor of God, as we engage in the BATTLE OF THE BRIDE…A WARFARE OF LOVE on behalf of our beloved nation! Ken (NH) led us in this prayer:
“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.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”
Ephesians 6:10-18
We prayed corporately, receiving God’s armor and asking that we wear it with the dignity it deserves!

President Donald Trump brought a bold and confident message to the people of South Carolina on Friday, just one day before Saturday’s GOP primary election, where the president is poised to crush the state’s former governor Nikki Haley. “I’m more confident than EVER that we will soon be sitting behind that Resolute Desk in the Oval Office!” he told a crowd in Rock Hill at a “Get Out the Vote Rally.”
President Trump also made this statement regarding “in vitro fertilization”:
“Under my leadership, the Republican Party will always support the creation of strong, thriving, healthy American families. We want to make it easier for mothers and fathers to have babies, not harder! That includes supporting the availability of fertility treatments like IVF in every State in America. Like the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Americans, including the VAST MAJORITY of Republicans, Conservatives, Christians, and Pro-Life Americans, I strongly support the availability of IVF for couples who are trying to have a precious baby. Today, I am calling on the Alabama Legislature to act quickly to find an immediate solution to preserve the availability of IVF in Alabama. The Republican Party should always be on the side of the Miracle of Life – and the side of Mothers, Fathers, and their Beautiful Babies. IVF is an important part of that, and our Great Republican Party will always be with you, in your quest, for the ULTIMATE JOY IN LIFE!”
We prayed corporately for President Trump to have a blessed, restful evening, as he prepares to speak at CPAC Saturday. We then took individual prayers:
Mary (TX) prayed for the babies involved
Cindy (SC) thanked God for President Trump being in SC this week and prayed for a great VICTORY.
Jerri (FL) prayed for the couples who are conceiving through IVF…and shared that she has 3 grands
and a niece who conceived that way. Let every couple who needs it be able to do so!
Peter )FL) shared Genesis 1:26-28 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness; let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.” So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them. Then God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it; have dominion over the fish of the sea, over the birds of the air, and over every living thing that moves on the earth.”
John (NJ) thanked God for President Trump’s stand for LIFE and asked that people see his love and care for families. Let bodies be cleansed so they can conceive/
Jerri (FL) said that because of IVF, they have proved life begins at conception
Danielle (SC) Prayed for the SC Primary and said there were tons of flyers mailed out to the Dems who did not vote in the previous DEM primary…calling on them to vote in the Rep primary tomorrow. Do not allow this to bring confusion into the Primary.
Marilyn (NH) agreed to the VICTORY for President Trump tomorrow
Statement by former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich regarding the fraud, NYC fraud case vs Trump: “Economic assassination”: a rabidly anti-Trump New York judge creates a “fraud” case with no victim, no complaints and no losses. With no jury, the anti-Trump petty dictator fines Trump a half billion dollars, exiles the president and his sons from New York business for 3 years, and blocks all New York Banks from loaning Trump the money to pay the fine. Equally rabid anti-Trump New York Attorney General announces she will seize Trump’s buildings and other property unless he puts up a half billion in escrow. You don’t need Siberia to destroy an opponent if you have New York.”
Marilyn (NH) was speaking with a friend today who asked if it will be Trump or Haley. How could anyone be so confused? Open their eyes, Lord!
Ydia (FL) Tourism is already off in NY and NJ, and this is the worst thing that can happen to those states. We pray for revival in NY, with repentance first!
Sharon (CA) they are not following the Constitution or the Bill of Rights, and they have Trump Derangement Syndrome (“TDS”) and are focused on destroying him. He has done so much for NY…(out of his own pocket he cleaned up Central Park). She heard that due to all that hassle people responded and he has raised $35 M.
Mary Ellen (IL) asked that more TRUE info get out through social media so the lies will be reversed
Danielle (SC) Thanked God for countering what happened to President Trump in NY. The merger of Truth Social with another company will earn him more than he’s being fined. ($4B) What an encouragement to lift his spirits!
John (NJ) the IPO (Initial Public Offering) was $4B – what timing! It’s from God!
Bernadette (NY) it was between $3.5-4 B (on paper) that would cover the value of his shares!!! She prayed for the NY Judge and AG, as well as the others who are persecuting and prosecuting him. Remove them and bring them to repentance.
Ydia (FL) said that in the Book of Esther, Haman paid for his actions on the gallows.
Susan (GA) in the State Constitutions, the Declaration, and the Bill of Rights, says you can not be put in jail for debt. You have the right to appeal to any court of record that you choose. Let him no longer be blocked by those who do not share this info with him. Let him have his rights as one of the American people (“We, the People!”).
Maureen replied: Let him have the backup he needs to fight this. The 8th Amendment says: “Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.”
Susan (GA) said the FL Constitution upholds this. The state Constitutions came first, and gave more authority to the people, while the US Constitution has 20-some things they have authority over.
Luke 11:52 “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.”
Maureen said that the Scribes were legal experts. They didn’t believe in resurrection. They were
steeped in tradition. It was important they note this. Scribes were teachers, had disciples of
their own, and most opposed Jesus. Scribes who believed in Jesus were then to teach others!
Susan (GA) thanked God for all He is teaching us about the legal system and how He inspired our Founders in writing the Constitution and the other Founding Documents
Dorothy (OR) asked if the State Constitutions that were written after the US Constitution was adopted are included in that.
Susan (GA) said that there is much written in the Declaration of Independence that needs to be prayed through.
Pat (MS) 10th Amendment “The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.”
Susan (GA) Each state is sovereign…and protected by the Constitution.
Bernadette (NY) how many witnesses are needed? Article 3 Section 3 re: treason (2 witnesses)
Danielle (SC) those waging LAWFARE and going against Trump are going around the state Constitutions and changing their election laws to suit their evil purposes. We submit every act of lawlessness to You, Lord…and ask for a cease and desist order in each case.
Susan (GA) go back to your state Constitutions that were ratified by the people, and if the new rules or legislation is against it, then they are null and void. (See: Maxims of Law by Charles A. Weisman)
Sharon (CA) in CA, the people voted NO to homosexual marriage, and then the court overturned it. That was an unconstitutional decision and went unchallenged…so it stood.
Susan (GA) We are to tell our elected officials what we want…and not be subservient to them.
Maureen thanked Susan for her diligence in doing this research and sharing it with us.
Albert (CA) said that is the issue President Trump had with his VP Mike Pence
Susan (GA) shared a few of the American Maxims, one of which is upholding the law of God.
Albert (CA) as many times as we have been charged to call our representatives, we have been ignored. We need to remember that we have the power to throw off bad government. Our children are not being taught to read and write as needed.
Susan (GA) we need to remove plausible deniability by writing our representatives and sending them notices as called for, and be sure to get a return receipt.
Peggy (CA) although we have righteous laws, evil men will still violate them. She prayed into it.
Nancy (MN) would appreciate a focus on this, and more on repentance and revival. The government knows we do NOT know this, and they have become lawless and expect us to comply!
Dorothy (OR) it’s not an either-or situation…what we are talking about here is true. Years ago, we knew about BLACK and his views on the law! We need to “re-educate” ourselves!
Maureen said the USA is a Constitutional Republic, based on the Rule of Law…(not a democracy, where the “majority rules”)
Debbie (TX) affirmed that.
Mary Ellen (IL) said the Electoral College allows for equal representation
The question was asked if the machines aren’t removed, won’t we have the same results? YES!
~~~
A representative republic uses “democratic means” to manifest the consent of the governed. We vote for representatives, who vote on measures. Voting is democracy in action, but that does not make the United States a democracy. The measures that our representatives vote on are constrained by law and the Constitution. We do not have pure democracy or “rule by the majority” because we have constitutionally protected rights that cannot be voted away, operate under the rule of law, and have, till recently, limited government with limited powers. We also have, however, an expanded voting population that is not limited by aristocracy, wealth, property ownership, or gender. Any citizen, over 18 years of age, can vote. One could say, therefore, that the United States is a democratic representative Republic.

Understanding The ‘Preamble’ of the Constitution for the United States of America.
The first section of the constitution is known as the ‘Preamble’. In legal terms at the time, it was a statement of purposes for the constitution which established no legal powers, and only clarified the purposes of the remaining constituting document. Justice Story had an interesting read on this in his Commentaries on the Constitution and Law of the United States, in 1833. Being closer to the origin, and able to be compared with other documents from the time, is enlightening.
“We, the people of the United States
This particular wording caused no end of irritation for some of the firebrands of the time, with Patrick Henry asking why ‘we the people’ and not ‘we the states’, who initiated the process. While the states initiated the process, the people were the ones gone back to for the ratification. It was their power that created the states, and delegated the authority, as delegees, the states had no authority to further transfer the delegated authority to another constituted body. So it went back to the initiating power, the sovereign power upon which state power was based, in order to dissolve the states under legal contemplation and reestablish them under a new constitution.
In order to form a more perfect union,
The union at the time was a loose confederation of states under the Articles of Confederation, acting as a bunch of squabbling individual nations, with their own conflicts, banking scandals, privateers, treaties, debts, and other issues. Rebellion and invasion were high probabilities at this time, Britain was still looking for an excuse to retake the colonies, and there were internal factions seeking to set up their own kingdoms.
Establish justice.
The various states had different justice systems, and there was no reciprocality in rights between the states, leading to different rights for different citizens traveling within different states of that confederation.
Ensure Domestic Tranquility
The factions of each state had been squabbling over land, borders, and trade routes. In one case, the Harbormaster of New York claimed almost all trade on the Potomac, and New Jersey was trying to get a cut of the action, if I recall correctly anyway. This was the origin of the ‘commerce clause’ later in the Constitution.
Provide for the common defence ( spelling change in the last two centuries)
The defense of the nation was imperiled, between the various pirate groups, raids by other nations, and incapacity to have any real effect on invasions of one state by another’s troops. There was no military at the time at the confederacy’s call, and no real means to raise one in case of invasion.
Promote the general welfare
This particular clause is often cited as a general power grant, but in reality, it has no actual powers, it states that the purpose is ‘general welfare’, i.e. that the welfare of the people of the country is the reason the following powers are granted.
And secure the blessings of liberty for ourselves and our posterity.
They believed, at the time, by requiring general law (article 1, sections 9 and 10 prohibiting attainder) and prohibiting the deprivation of privileges and immunities of citizens (article 4) that the liberty of the people could be guarded. General law provided no means of depriving the rights of the minority that did not also simultaneously deprive the majority and the legislators and their guards and benefactors. Further, the concern was that any power in the future could attempt to twist the purposes of the constitution to try to concentrate the powers in one set of hands or be used to deprive that liberty they’d won at such a high cost in blood, treasure, and toil, so the express purpose of ‘liberty’ was placed in the preamble to try to attempt to remind future generations of its value.
Do ordain and establish this constitution for the United States of America.”
This wording partakes of terms of art in contract and charter law but is being used as something unique, a constitution that establishes a new entity, establishes its powers and limits. When the Constitution was written, it effectively dissolved the States and overrode the Articles of Confederation. By an appeal to the original people, the states were then recreated, and bound within new limits in the new Federal republic. It effectively incorporated (made personified) a new entity with the legal rights to own limited amounts of land, represent itself in court, sue and be sued, and with additional rights to make treaties upon the people’s and new state’s behalf, limiting that power with all the limits that any such power has. (And before any of you ‘sovcit’ guys jump on that, all governments are by definition corporate, as sovereignty has to outlast the humans wearing the crown or establishing the authority. The Crown of England itself is a representation of a corporate person, separate from the King or Queen, which is why it can possess property, and survive even after the person with the title has died, without having to deal with the legal process of transferring the lands individually, it is done via the transfer of the sovereignty)
The delegating authority loses nothing in the delegation, in this case, as the new government was effectively a regent under law, caretaking their interests via their new representatives, the house, allowing the person to take the office of the president so long as he executed the laws faithfully, and allowing a judiciary to nullify unconstitutional acts, proclamations or bills. It was also to preserve the separation between the three branches of government in order to preserve the balance between the three. As entities of delegated power, authority could not be given that was not possessed by the delegator. No corporate entity, under law, can possess more power than the entities creating it, nor can it perform in any manner beyond what is legal for those persons, hence the limitations placed further in the body of the Constitution itself.
So, to sum up, the preamble effectively lays down the reasons the Constitution was made. It is neither a contract, nor a charter, nor a compact, nor even a treaty, but takes parts of all of the above to create a new creature, a ‘constitution’ establishing a new entity, imbuing it with delegated authority, and laying out the reason and purpose for its existence.
This was written to preserve LIFE, LIBERTY, and THE PURSUT OF VIRTUE (HAPPINESS).
Susan (GA) We must be educated to have the confidence to stand up and speak out for our rights!
May what we discussed and learned tonight serve us well as we go forward on behalf of the nation!
~~~
We paused before 9 PM, as we do nightly, to pray for the J6ers.
We prayed corporately, lifting up all who were accused, tried, and imprisoned unjustly…
and for those with pending cases, such as President Trump.
We were then led by Maureen in singing the National Anthem
united with the J6ers, as we joined them from states across our nation!
Having prayed on-site for them in DC, we continue to stand with them and their families,
praying that they would be set free, return to their lives and loved ones,
and be compensated for the injustice they have suffered!
Let them be comforted and at peace in their cells tonight, knowing that God is near!

Brad (DC) with David Clements at CPAC
From David: “I’ll be volunteering at the J6 table at CPAC—surrounded by fake conservative speakers that pretend to care about the J6 hostages. Soooooo… if you are in the neighborhood, come by and say hi. Also, each night, we’ll head over to Freedom Corner at the DC Gulag for the nightly vigil. Get involved in meaningful ways to support the J6 community.”
Brad shared what was going on there at CPAC at the J6 table! He feels that David’s movie LET MY PEOPLE GO! is the “antidote” to the stolen elections! He was gifted with the cost of CPAC registration, and produced 400 flyers, inviting people to visit the J6 table, (which was front and center in the exhibit hall) and told them to see the film. David said they sold out the DVDs of the film, and are expecting more to come in tomorrow. David showed the movie there yesterday and today and suggested that we all invite people to see the film and share what they learned. Sign up and see the movie, then order (see below) and share it with others.

We prayed into this corporately and then shared individual prayers:
Bernadette (NY) let this information get into the hands of those who can use it to move the hearts of millions of people.
Debbie (TX) make a way for David and Brad to connect with President Trump and present the idea of a NDR and he would receive it!
Jerri (FL) lifted up the J6ers and David so that the film will be seen far and wide. Arrange the time for David to get together with President Trump to share about a NDR. Let Justice rain down.

We were joined by Pastor Mauga from American Samoa, who shared about what took place with him there on Saturday. Something happened at the tent in which he had all his lawn equipment, extra supplies, and all their fine mats (30-40 of them)…it was broken into and most everything was gone! Suddenly he was enraged, then he went inside and heard “humble” and he was convicted…and calmed down. Then he recovered and told his sons to take all that was left – especially the fine mats (traditional mats woven and given to the leaders and used at funerals, etc.)…and burn it all! It was cleaned out and gotten rid of! On Sunday morning, revival took place in his whole congregation as the Holy Spirit moved throughout the whole group! (He posted it on Rumble.) He said that there is revival as more and more of their people gather to pray, and he hopes it spreads from there to the entire USA and back to Jerusalem!
What was the value of the fine mats that were stolen? Around $40 K was stolen and $25 K burned.
Act 19:19 “Also many of those practicing the curious arts, bringing together the books, burned them before all. And they counted the prices of them and found it to be fifty thousand pieces of silver.”
The Tuesday after our team left AS, a sister flew into Pago Pago, and he shared about the WTKOG and replayed the service from that Sunday. As he played it, she manifested and he took authority over the spirit and she was freed. He asked if she was “backslidden” and they prayed together to restore all that had been lost!
What took place at Cornerstone, and then at the AOG in Tula, and then at his congregation, THE VOICE OF CHRIST REVIVAL CENTER, still has power! THE BLOOD OF JESUS NEVER LOSES ITS POWER!
We prayed for Pastor Mauga, his family, and his congregation and all aligned with him for the KINGDOM in AS.
He shared what happened last night at Cornerstone Church: Jireh had a vision of a tent on the grounds that was to be open to everybody. So, the people of many denominations came! He feels that God is raising up an end-times army there. CONFIRMATION of what we prayed on-site there on our last night in AS… launching of the Tabernacle of David there at Pastor Donald’s congregation, Cornerstone AOG!
We rejoiced in this news and prayed corporately into what God is doing there in AS with our dear friends! Then we offered individual prayers:
Debbie (TX) thanked God for what He was doing in AS
Maureen prayed for Pastor Mauga and all our brothers and sisters there in AS who are participating in the launching of the Tabernacle there. We are so blessed to hear these reports… confirmation of what we had prayed there together!
Pastor Mauga then prayed for those of the 24/7 family and for strength to fulfill all of our assignments.
~~~
As we prepared to share in communion, we prayed corporately in thanks for Jesus’ sacrifice for us on the cross. We shared at the Lord’s table and closed the SHABBAT CALL singing “SHABBAT SHALOM!”
With our love and blessings.
Maureen and Pastor Ioan
