“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!
To the Chief Musician. Set to “The Lilies.” A Contemplation of the sons of Korah. A Song of Love.
1 My heart is overflowing with a good theme; I recite my composition concerning the King;
My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
2 You are fairer than the sons of men; Grace is poured upon Your lips;
Therefore God has blessed You forever.
3 Gird Your sword upon Your thigh, O Mighty One, With Your glory and Your majesty.
4 And in Your majesty ride prosperously because of truth, humility, and righteousness;
And Your right hand shall teach You awesome things.
5 Your arrows are sharp in the heart of the King’s enemies; The peoples fall under You.
6 Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A scepter of righteousness is the scepter of Your kingdom.
7 You love righteousness and hate wickedness; Therefore God, Your God, has anointed You
With the oil of gladness more than Your companions.
8 All Your garments are scented with myrrh and aloes and cassia,
Out of the ivory palaces, by which they have made You glad.
9 Kings’ daughters are among Your honorable women;
At Your right hand stands the queen in gold from Ophir.
10 Listen, O daughter, Consider and incline your ear;
Forget your own people also, and your father’s house;
11 So the King will greatly desire your beauty; Because He is your Lord, worship Him.
12 And the daughter of Tyre will come with a gift; The rich among the people will seek your favor.
13 The royal daughter is all glorious within the palace; Her clothing is woven with gold.
14 She shall be brought to the King in robes of many colors;
The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to You.
15 With gladness and rejoicing they shall be brought; They shall enter the King’s palace.
16 Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.
17 I will make Your name to be remembered in all generations;
Therefore the people shall praise You forever and ever.
Psalm 45
We sing: Lord, have mercy on us!
Lord, have mercy on us. Come and heal our land.
Cleanse with Your Fire, heal with Your Touch.
Humbly we bow and call upon You now.
Oh, Lord, have mercy on us. Oh, Lord, have mercy on us.

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, for our First Lady, Melania, and their marriage
and for all the members of their family. We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.
In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit,
so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation.
Pray.
For protection, provision, and peace
for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!
As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, let those leaders that God anoints and appoints
take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
Pray.
For us to receive and put on the full armor of God as we begin this hour,
that we might be protected as we stand in the gap and pray for our nation!

Strategic Focus for Monday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 246
The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 136
“As Sodom and Gomorrah, and the cities around them in a similar manner to these,
having given themselves over to sexual immorality and gone after strange flesh,
are set forth as an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.”
Jude 1:7
We are studying and praying onto what we are learning in Jonathan Cahn’s book THE RETURN OF THE GODS. Today, we move into Chapters 36 and 37, where we will find there was more to the goddess’s dwelling place, or eshdam, and that one more element from her mythology was needed to complete it. It would be there at Stonewall, and it would play a central part in the explosion of that night.
Chapter 36 House of the Harimtu – The Alehouse Harlot Ishtar was goddess and patroness of taverns and prostitutes. We would therefore expect the two to come together. In one of the Mesopotamian myths that speak of her powers and possessions, the goddess is told “…you have brought with you the cultic prostitute, you have brought with you the holy tavern.” She was in charge of the prostitute and the “holy tavern.” As goddess of the harimtu, or prostitute, and of the eshdam, or alehouse, Ishtar was the embodiment of both. She was the eshdam harimtu, the alehouse harlot, or tavern prostitute. In one of her hymns the goddess says this: “When I sit by the gate of the tavern, I am a prostitute.” Here, the three elements of the goddess converge: the gate; the tavern, or alehouse; and the prostitute. The tavern, if not an official house of prostitution, was a house in which prostitutes dwelled and operated.
The Stonewall Prostitutes So could the other element of the goddess, that of the prostitute, also have manifested on the night of Stonewall? It did. Talk and rumors of prostitution had always surrounded the bar. There were reports of a prostitution ring being operated on the second floor. There were even reports of prostitution taking place within the bar itself. But beyond that was Stonewall’s other and more visible link to prostitution. The tavern had become a center, a haven and gathering place, for the male prostitutes, sex workers, and street hustlers of lower Manhattan. Pray.
The prostitution over which Ishtar presided in ancient times was not confined to female sex workers. The functions of the assinnu, Ishtar’s feminized males, undoubtedly overlapped into the realm and functions of prostitution. A Sumerian inscription describing the goddess’s festivals says this: “Tightening their hairgrips for her, male prostitutes parade before her, holy Inana [Ishtar]. Their locks of hair at the back are adorned for her with coloured rags.”
The Harimtu Revolution Not only were male prostitutes a central part of the Stonewall Inn, but they actually led the uprising. One of the most prominent leaders in that uprising and in the movement that followed was a drag performer named Marsha Johnson, who worked at night as a male prostitute. She was one among several others. So on that summer night at Stonewall, the two elements, the harimtu and the eshdam, the prostitute and the alehouse, converged just as they had converged in ancient times under the patronage of the goddess. That night, the goddess’s modern-day assinnu, her male prostitutes, were there on the streets, gathered around her modern-day eshdam, to ignite the explosion. So the movement that would transform Western culture was started by prostitutes, just as it was begun by the prostitute goddess—the alehouse harlot. Pray.
Chapter 37 The Stonewall
But why Stonewall? Why there as opposed to other taverns or alehouses? Was there something more to it? Is it possible that the answer lies in ancient tablets that pinpointed Stonewall as the place in which it had to happen? The goddess had always been known as the one who broke down barriers. She came to New York for that purpose. So there could not have been a more appropriate name for the place where she would break down that barrier than Stonewall. But could there be more to the mystery?
The Goddess on the Wall The Epic of Gilgamesh contains a vivid description of the goddess’s rage. Ishtar attempts to seduce the hero Gilgamesh. Gilgamesh, in a blunt and cutting discourse, spurns her advances. Ishtar retaliates by calling down the “bull of heaven” to wreak destruction on the earth. Gilgamesh and his associate, Enkidu, slay the bull. Ishtar then “…mounted the great wall of Uruk.” The goddess takes her stand on top of the city wall and there gives vent to her anguish and anger and calls down curses on those who offended her. So the goddess who vented her fury on the city wall now, on the night that she would vent her fury on an entire civilization, chose as her focal point the place called Stonewall. There she took her stand and made it her platform. And from there she unleashed her anguish and fury. Pray.
The Wall of Uruk The ancient wall of Uruk on which the goddess stood was made up of bricks. On the night of Stonewall, bricks had a prominent place. The Stonewall Inn itself was known for its facade, a wall of bricks. Beyond that the Stonewall riots were begun with the hurling of objects at the police. No one knows exactly what those first objects were, but it was reported to have been bricks. Bricks became a key part of the Stonewall mythology. The question “Who threw the first brick at Stonewall?” became a rallying cry for the movement. It is known that brick-like stones were dug up from nearby tree pits and were among the objects hurled at the police officers at the beginning of the uprising. Pray.
The Stone and the Stonewall The immediate event that led Ishtar to stand on the wall and cast down her curses was Gilgamesh’s slaying of the bull of heaven. But behind the slaying, the seminal offense that triggered all that followed was Gilgamesh’s scathing rejection of the goddess’s advances. As she stands on the wall, it is the first thing she speaks of: “Woe unto Gilgamesh who slandered me.”
How had Gilgamesh slandered the goddess? He presented a case against her. If he became her lover, it would bring him calamity and sorrow as it had her past lovers, Tammuz and a long line of others. The goddess brought harm and destruction to those who loved her. She was toxic, unstable, and deadly. In his devastating attack on her history and nature, he used pictures, symbols. One of these is of particular note. The goddess, he said, is a stone “…that buckles out the stone wall.”
The Other Stone Wall Thousands of years before the uprising of Stonewall, the words “stone wall” were inscribed on clay tablets. The word stonewall was used in connection with the goddess of sexuality, of taverns, of prostitutes, of transvestitism, transsexuality, homosexuality, and the crossing of genders. “Stone wall” were the words and symbol used to speak of the goddess’s destructive consequences on the world around her and specifically on her own people, her lovers. Stonewall was used in the condemnation that caused her offense and ignited her fury. Pray.
Now the word Stonewall would again be joined to the goddess. Again, it would be used to cause her offense and ignite her fury. And again, it would become the symbol of her rage. The riots that erupted that night would leave Stonewall broken, burnt, and shattered. According to the ancient accusation in the Epic of Gilgamesh, the goddess would cause the “stone wall” to buckle. It was the most fitting of names and places. For at Stonewall the goddess would cause another wall, a wall of ancient origins—the moral hedge that had served Western civilization for nearly two thousand years—to likewise buckle and collapse. Pray.
We pray:
- Lord Jesus, as you bring to our attention any occult activity, situation, or object that displeases You, we repent and sever our relationship with it. Lord Jesus, thank You for becoming a curse on the cross for us so that we may be freed of all curses that are due to our sins or the sins of our ancestors. Lord Jesus, we take our stand, in Your name, Jesus, against all Satan’s demons. We trust that You will take care of the demons and also take care of us. We resist the devil, in Your name, Jesus! Amen! Amen! Pray.
- For President Trump: Guard, guide and govern his every word and action; protect him from all enemies, without and within; help him discern rightly about counsel given by those who advise him. Pray.
- In thanksgiving for all the conservative candidates who will “stand in the gap” with us and our President, engaging in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA, and rejecting the “usurper” and those pulling his strings in this faux administration, removing them from office! Pray.
- Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Pray.
