24/7 NSPC - History
24/7 National Strategic
Prayer Call
Numbers Speak For Themselves
Before the November 8, 2016 Presidential Election, the Day of the Battle...the “GLORIOUS DAY”, many intercessors, who had joined together in prayer, entered into a three (3) day ESTHER FAST on behalf of our nation! On the evening of November 8th, as the polls were closing and the votes were being counted across the land, prayer furnaces were fueled up and operating in high gear. We prayed and watched as the “tide turned” and Donald Trump was elected as our 45th President!
While rejoicing in the mercy and goodness of God to our nation, we immediately sensed an urgency to remain “on the wall” in intercession, to pray for the protection of our incoming President and to assure his being inaugurated and set into the position God had given him! Thus, on November 11th at 12 AM, the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call was launched...with the key assignment of “protecting and securing the victory from the day of election” interceding hourly for the safety and security of our President and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
IN THE BEGININGS
On November 20th, silver trumpets were blown over the nation, calling the Body of Christ to a HOLY CONVOCATION to Welcome the King of Glory into the United States of America in Washington, DC from January 17th-20th, 2017. Two months later, on January 20th, after President Trump took the oath of office at 12 Noon, the 24/7 NSPC intercessors gathered on the National Mall next to David’s Tent to proclaim “The Lord is our Judge, The Lord is our Lawgiver, The Lord is our King. He will save us.” Isaiah 33:22. We confirmed our nation’s covenant with the Father and renewed our marriage vows with our Lord Jesus Christ, declaring the Victory of His Love over our entire country. Together with the Holy Spirit, we cried out: “Maranatha! Come, Lord Jesus!” This, the Second Day of the Battle, was a “DAY OF VICTORY”…a Day of Worship, Joy and renewed Hope!
THE FIRST 100 DAYS
We continued “on the wall’”, covering the President’s FIRST 100 DAYS on the 24/7 NSPC. The Lord began to turn our attention to developing additional Strategic Prayer Calls in the individual states. During prayer for California, He gave us a deeper revelation of the condition of that state and what He wanted to do there! Thus began a series of gatherings in that state to Welcome the King of Glory in 10 different locations! These were followed by gatherings in Phoenix and Sedona, Arizona, Houston, Texas and in the three states comprising Yellowstone Park: Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, in Orlando, Florida, Colorado Springs, Colorado, and then in Washington DC!
FOUR MORE YEARS
We are engaged in a spiritual battle...a warfare of love! Many in the Body of Christ are deeply concerned about the extreme danger being posed by the anti-Christ spirit, which is operating against not only our President but the United States of America at this very hour, trying to undermine and destroy our very foundations. Americans are distracted by a never-ending stream of “urgent” matters, while the media floods the airwaves 24/7 with “fake news” in an attempt to control our minds and instill fear in our hearts! What is taking place is a battle, against not only our Government but against individuals, families, churches and communities. It is an all-out war against the American way of life...and it has already been launched!
Repentance
Nothing is too far out of reach that God cannot revive it. Repentance does not happen spontaneously. It first takes place in individual hearts, is nurtured by prayer and fasting, and is then birthed into the larger arena, often through solemn assemblies.
In Scripture, these solemn assemblies were often called by priests, prophets or kings, for the entire nation. Prior to every national awakening in the United States, there was an emphasis on repentance, with fasting and prayer. Throughout our history, 788 solemn assemblies for national repentance took place!
The blessing of national repentance is not only that God heals and blesses the nation, but also that a passion for His Presence is stirred up in the Body of Christ.
During the Civil War, as President Abraham Lincoln struggled to mend a divided and war-torn nation and recenter Americans around God and prayer, he issued a proclamation on March 30, 1863, calling for a “Day of National Humiliation, Fasting, and Prayer.”
The text of Lincoln’s proclamation has pointed lessons for today, as our nation is once again deeply divided. It repeatedly references God, calls on Americans to turn back to prayer and acknowledges the importance that God plays in human affairs. It was indeed a “call to repent before God” which is appropriate for us today.
The “Day of National Humiliation,
Fasting, and Prayer.”
“Whereas, the Senate of the United States, devoutly recognizing the Supreme Authority and just Government of Almighty God, in all the affairs of men and of nations, has, by a resolution, requested the President to designate and set apart a day for National prayer and humiliation.
And whereas it is the duty of nations as well as of men, to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, to confess their sins and transgressions, in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon; and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in the Holy Scriptures and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord.
And, insomuch as we know that, by His divine law, nations like individuals are subjected to punishments and chastisements in this world, may we not justly fear that the awful calamity of civil war, which now desolates the land, maybe but a punishment, inflicted upon us, for our presumptuous sins, to the needful end of our national reformation as a whole People?
We have been the recipients of the choicest bounties of Heaven. We have been preserved, these many years, in peace and prosperity. We have grown in numbers, wealth and power, as no other nation has ever grown. But we have forgotten God. We have forgotten the gracious hand which preserved us in peace, and multiplied and enriched and strengthened us; and we have vainly imagined, in the deceitfulness of our hearts, that all these blessings were produced by some superior wisdom and virtue of our own. Intoxicated with unbroken success, we have become too self-sufficient to feel the necessity of redeeming and preserving grace, too proud to pray to the God that made us! It behooves us then, to humble ourselves before the offended Power, to confess our national sins, and to pray for clemency and forgiveness.
Now, therefore, in compliance with the request, and fully concurring in the views of the Senate, I do, by this my proclamation, designate and set apart Thursday, the 30th day of April, 1863, as a day of national humiliation, fasting and prayer. And I do hereby request all the People to abstain, on that day, from their ordinary secular pursuits, and to unite, at their several places of public worship and their respective homes, in keeping the day holy to the Lord, and devoted to the humble discharge of the religious duties proper to that solemn occasion.
All this being done, in sincerity and truth, let us then rest humbly in the hope authorized by the Divine teachings, that the united cry of the Nation will be heard on high, and answered with blessings, no less than the pardon of our national sins, and the restoration of our now divided and suffering Country, to its former happy condition of unity and peace. In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed.”
By the President: Abraham Lincoln

That prayer and proclaimation by Abraham Lincoln could have been written for today and , indeed, until I got to the date of April 30, 1863, as a national day of humiliation, fasting and prayer, I thought it was. April 30th looms ahead of us in the not too distant future. Should we begin to move in humiliation, fasting and prayer now in a cumulation to a national call to humiliation, fasting and prayer on that day, April 30th? I think so. I think we need to be on our faces daily before God repenting from our wicked ways, standing in the gap for our land so that God may hear from heaven and forgive us our sins and heal our land. It is time for a grassroots national 2Chron. 7:14 movement in parks, schools, offices, churches and homes.
