“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!
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to preach the gospel to the poor;
He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted,
to proclaim liberty to the captives and recovery of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed.”
Luke 4:18
We sing: Freedom
You came to set the captives free! You came to bring us liberty!
My sin and my rejection met Your blood and my acceptance,
now I’m alive to bring You praise!
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!
Every chain is broken through You, Jesus.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!
Whoa oh, oh, oh!
Your blood has covered every sin! Your grace empowers me to win!
My pain and my oppression met Your blood and my acceptance,
now I’m alive to bring You praise!
I’m free! I’m free! I’m free to dance and sing! I’m free! I’m free! I’m free to shout it out!
I’m free! I’m free! I’m free to dance and sing!
I’m free! I’m free! I’m free to worship You! I’m gonna worship You!
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom! Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!
Every chain is broken through You, Jesus.
Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!
Whoa oh, oh, oh! Whoa oh, oh, oh! Whoa oh, oh, oh! Whoa oh, oh, oh!

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.
We ask that in every situation and decision, President Trump will be led by the Holy Spirit!
May he hear the truth about the “vaccines” and act accordingly, leading our people out of darkness.
Pray.
We continue to pray for Governor Ron De Santis’ wife, Florida’s First Lady, Casey DeSantis,
who has completed the first round of treatment for breast cancer!
We ask for her complete healing and full restoration!
Pray.
For protection, provision, and peace for Professor / Patriot David Clements and his family!
Pray.
That God will “make a way, where there seems to be no way”
for Pastor Ioan and David to return to the United States!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Sunday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE REDEMPTION OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC – Part 23
“Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help, whose hope is in the Lord his God,
Who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever, Who executes justice for the oppressed, Who gives food to the hungry.
The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.”
Psalm 146:5-7
Our opening song joyfully declares: “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom!” Those who are blessed to live in the State of Florida have experienced a unique opportunity to enjoy that freedom, during the “pandemic”, as their state remained open while most of the nation was shut down, locked down, and masked up! Pray.
Indeed, Governor Ron DeSantis has “the God of Jacob as his Help”…and as he follows the guidance of the Lord, he will continue to be the leader Florida needs for “such a time as this”! We bless him for his leadership and the role model Florida is to other states’ Governors so that in following his lead, they might be the leaders their people need at this crucial hour! Pray.
Today and tomorrow, we will look at and pray into remarks made by Governor DeSantis at his recent State of the State Address. May they be an encouragement to all Americans during a time when we desperately need to be encouraged!
Mr. Speaker, Mr. President, members of the Legislature and fellow citizens:
Together, we have made Florida the freest state in these United States. While so many around the country have consigned the people’s rights to the graveyard, Florida has stood as freedom’s vanguard. Pray.
In Florida, we have protected the right of our citizens to earn a living, provided our businesses with the ability to prosper, fought back against unconstitutional federal mandates, and ensured our kids have the opportunity to thrive.
Florida has become the escape hatch for those chafing under authoritarian, arbitrary, and seemingly never-ending mandates and restrictions. Pray.
Even today, across the nation we see students denied an education due to reckless, politically-motivated school closures, workers denied employment due to heavy-handed mandates and Americans denied freedoms due to a coercive biomedical apparatus. These unprecedented policies have been as ineffective as they have been destructive. They are grounded more in blind adherence to Faucian declarations than they are in the constitutional traditions that are the foundation of free nations. Pray.
Florida is a free state. We reject the biomedical security state that curtails liberty, ruins livelihoods, and divides society. And we will protect the rights of individuals to live their lives free from the yoke of restrictions and mandates. Pray.
Florida has stood strong as the rock of freedom…and upon this rock, we must build Florida’s future. Pray.
We will, fortunately, be able to confront our challenges with an incredibly favorable budget outlook and strong economic performance that has withstood unfavorable national headwinds:
- My recommended budget of $99.7 billion has more than $15 billion in reserve — one of the largest surpluses in state history.
- Florida’s revenues have exceeded estimates by billions of dollars over the past year.
- December’s revenues came in at more than $500 million over the latest monthly estimate.
And this is all being done with no income tax and the lowest per capita tax burden in America. Pray.
Job creation in Florida is far exceeding the national average. And our labor force has increased six times faster than the nation’s. Florida also leads the nation in business formations, which have increased by 61% since I took office in 2019. In 2021, Florida saw 114,000 more new businesses than second-place California — even though California has a population that is 40% larger. Pray.
Freedom works. Our economy is the envy of the nation. And the state is well-prepared to withstand future economic turmoil. Pray.
Our nation is facing economic problems stemming from reckless federal policies, especially the most sustained Inflation our country has witnessed in decades. The federal government has borrowed and printed unprecedented sums of money, and the bill is coming due. Pray.
Inflation is an invisible tax. It represents a pay cut for individuals and families alike. One of the ways families have felt the pinch has been in significantly higher gas prices. To help alleviate this burden for Florida families, I am proposing a $1 billion gas tax holiday to help reduce prices at the pump. If Washington, DC won’t change course, then we have a responsibility to step up on behalf of Floridians. Pray.
Education represents a major pillar of Florida’s future. I’m happy to note that Florida is again ranked number three for K-12 achievement in the latest Education Week Quality Counts rankings. We have worked hard to keep schools open, increase teacher compensation, promote workforce education and protect the rights of parents. Pray.
In pockets across America, schools are closing once again. These closures are enormously destructive and will not be tolerated in the state of Florida. Florida has led the way in putting our kids first. In the summer of 2020, when it wasn’t fashionable, we made clear that kids needed to be in school. We faced opposition — from hysterical media, from unions, and the politicians they control. We even faced lawsuits aiming to close the schools, but we wouldn’t allow fear or politics to harm our kids. We were right and they were wrong. And millions of families in Florida are better for it. Pray.
While it is important to embrace high academic standards and to measure student achievement, the FSA test is not the best way to do it. I am proposing the elimination of the FSA and replacing it with periodic progress monitoring. This will lead to meaningful feedback for parents and teachers and will reduce the amount of time dedicated to testing, leaving more time for learning. This reform will be better for students, teachers, and parents, and it will help Florida remain a leader in education reform. Pray.
Over the past two years, we have increased the average minimum salary for teachers by more than $6,000. Last year, we provided $1,000 bonuses to every public school teacher and principal in the state. Brittany Duquaine is a teacher at Lakewood Elementary School in Pinellas County. She has benefitted from the bonuses and salary increases and the experience at Lakewood shows why this is important, as Brittany and her colleagues took the school from an F grade in 2019 to an A grade in 2021.
Let’s continue this progress by further increasing teacher pay and by approving $1,000 bonuses for a second year in a row. Pray.
Florida has enacted a Parents’ Bill of Rights! We reject the notion that parents shouldn’t have a say in what their kids learn in school. Indeed, Florida law should provide parents with the right to review the curriculum used in their children’s schools. We should provide parents with recourse so that state standards are enforced, such as Florida’s prohibition on infusing subjects with critical race theory in our classrooms. Pray.
Quisha King is a mother from Duval County who has joined moms all across Florida and America to speak out against divisive ideologies like CRT. These moms are standing up for a principle that is the policy of the state of Florida: Our tax dollars should not be used to teach our kids to hate our country or to hate each other. Pray.
Florida’s public college and university system is ranked number one in the nation yet again. Higher education must remain affordable for Florida families. I will not support any tuition increases at Florida’s colleges and universities and I oppose cutting Bright Futures scholarships, which have benefited many Florida families. Pray.
As proud as we are of the quality and affordability of Florida’s university system, a four-year education at a traditional brick-and-ivy school isn’t the only pathway to success. Over the past three years, Florida has added more than 50 new apprenticeship programs. The credentials earned through our workforce initiatives have paved the way for employment in a variety of fields like aviation, logistics, and welding. These are as valuable and as honorable endeavors as attending august universities, and they deserve our support. Florida’s dedicated focus on the skilled trades will help expand the state’s manufacturing footprint. We have already seen businesses move here from other states and we should also be actively encouraging businesses to repatriate production back to America from foreign countries. Do we really want our supply chains to be captive to the whims of a country such as Communist China? Pray.
Florida’s economic security is also linked to the stewardship of our natural resources. We Floridians are heirs to a unique environment that makes our state the envy of the nation for fishing, boating, and other outdoor activities.
Three years ago, we promised bold action to safeguard Florida’s natural resources, improve water quality and restore the Everglades. With the support of the Legislature, especially Speaker Chris Sprowls and President Wilton Simpson, we have secured historic funding to support these efforts.
Since January 2019, 42 Everglades restoration projects have broken ground, hit a major milestone or finished construction, record funding has gone to conduct research and secure technologies to mitigate blue-green algae and red tide, and the state now has dedicated streams of revenue to promote coastal resiliency and water quality improvements. Pray.
We have even made enormous strides in removing invasive Burmese pythons from the Everglades. In the gallery today is the reigning python king, Charlie Dachton, who caught a whopping 41 pythons in our 2021 statewide contest.
We resolved to leave our unique natural inheritance to God better than we found it, and we are fulfilling that pledge! Pray.
And the Lord said, “Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom his master will set over his household,
to give them their portion of food at the proper time?
Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when he comes.
Truly, I say to you, he will set him over all his possessions.”
Luke 12: 42-44
Pray.
We pray:
- In thanksgiving for a Godly Governor, who puts his people, not himself, first. Pray.
- Lord, bless Ron DeSantis and allow Your LIGHT that is within him to shine so brightly that other Governors will come to that LIGHT and begin to care for their citizens in the same manner! Pray.
- That as our states get in order, we will get our homes in order, so that they might be places for Your HABITATION and sanctuaries where others can encounter You!! Pray.
- That as the REDEMPTION of the AMERICAN REPUBLIC takes place, God will anoint and appoint leaders who will take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol! Pray
- That we will joyfully release the LOVE of GOD from our hearts over this nation, and faux leaders, including Biden, Harris, Pelosi, Schumer, Fauci, and all who are now children of darkness, will accept His salvation and be transformed…OR, if they reject Him, they will be removed! Pray.
- For an “appointed place” and an “appointed time” for our meeting with President Trump! Pray.
