“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 #
We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“My kindness shall not depart from you, nor shall My covenant of peace be removed,”
says the Lord, who has mercy on you.
Isaiah 54:10
We sing: AT THE CROSS
Oh, Lord, You’ve searched me, You know my way. Even when I fail You, I know You love me.
Your Holy Presence surrounding me in every season, I know You love me! I know You love me!
At the cross I bow my knee, where Your Blood was shed for me, there’s no greater LOVE than this.
You have overcome the grave; Glory fills the highest praise; what can separate me now?
You go before me; You shield my way; Your hand upholds me and I know You love me.
At the cross I bow my knee, where Your Blood was shed for me, there’s no greater LOVE than this.
You have overcome the grave; Glory fills the highest praise; what can separate me now?
You tore the veil, You made a way, when You said that it is done!
You tore the veil, You made a way, when You said that it is done!
And when the earth fails, falls from my eyes, and You stand before me, I know You love me!
I know You love me!
At the cross I bow my knee, where Your Blood was shed for me, there’s no greater LOVE than this.
You have overcome the grave; Glory fills the highest praise; what can separate me now?
You tore the veil, You made a way, when You said that it is done!
You tore the veil, You made a way, when You said that it is done!
And when the earth fails, falls from my eyes, and You stand before me, I know You love me!
I know You love me!
I know You love me!

We bless our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those serving in this Administration.

The 24/7 NSPC is praying for the 2020 National Elections,
positioning ourselves in intercession before the Lord on behalf of our President and nation!

“No weapon formed against you shall prosper,
and every tongue which rises against you in judgment You shall condemn.”
Isaiah 54:17
Strategic Focus for Tuesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Impeachment Trial / Sham – Day 7 – Shredding the Enemy’s Case
“God shall shoot at them with an arrow; suddenly they shall be wounded.
So He will make them stumble over their own tongue; all who see them shall flee away.
All men shall fear, and shall declare the work of God; for they shall wisely consider His doing.”
Psalm 64:7-9
Yesterday, the President’s legal team did an excellent job of shredding the enemy’s case against him! Confident in our Father’s loving-kindness for His son, our President, we continue to commit this process into His hands, trusting that His grace, peace and mercy will pave the way for the President’s innocence to be proven!
- If the Senate decides not to hear witnesses, it is possible the Trump impeachment trial could end in acquittal by the end of this week.
- If the Senate decides to hear from Bolton or other witnesses or to take depositions, request documents, all that, combined with other procedural hurdles, could cause the trial to drag on for weeks or more.
Once the Senate is done hearing arguments from President Trump’s defense team, 16 hours will be set aside for Senators’ questions, submitted in writing, and read aloud by the Chief Justice John Roberts. Following that there will be 4 hours of debate on whether to subpoena witnesses and documents. Then, the Senate will vote. If the Senate defeats the first motion to subpoena witnesses and documents, Trump may soon be acquitted.
In the alternative, if that motion gets 51 votes, then the Senate could move ahead with further votes to determine who to subpoena. If Senators vote to subpoena witnesses, they first must be privately deposed. After that, the Senate would have to decide whether to make them testify in public. This means that the trial could go on for sometime if the Senate decides to subpoena someone like John Bolton, since legal battles that may ensue as the White House attempts to block the testimony.
“I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,
until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment be made in favor of the saints of the Most High,
and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.”
Daniel 7:21-22
We pray:
- That the spirit of the fear of the Lord will come against those who are fighting against You and our President and this nation! Let it weigh on them, keep them up at night, hound and pursue them until the deception falls off of their hearts and the scales fall off of their eyes so that they are swiftly convicted and turn to righteousness!
- That there will be no more delay and that this “weapon that has been formed” against our President (and our nation), the impeachment trial, will not be allowed to continue any longer, but will be brought to a conclusion this week as “a judgment is made in favor of the saints of the Most High” and our President will be fully vindicated.
- That “every tongue which has risen against him in judgment” is “condemned”, that those cooperating with evil will be fully exposed as “purely partisan political hacks” and removed from office and influence.
- That righteousness and justice will be reestablished in our land.
Here are highlights of the President’s legal team’s arguments. Let us read and pray into each of them!
1.Massive Interference in an Election
- The Democrat-controlled House voted to impeach President Trump, alleging he abused his power and obstructed Congress in connection with his July 25th phone call to Ukrainian President Zelenskyy. White House counsel Pat Cipollone responded that it is the Democrats’ impeachment effort that seeks to “perpetrate the most massive interference in an election in American history.” If two-thirds of the Senate (67 Senators), vote to remove the President from office, they also may disqualify him from holding another federal office. “They’re asking you to remove President Trump from the ballot…to do something that no Senate has ever done…with no evidence, and that’s wrong.”
- Schiff and Nadler (D-NY) and the other five House impeachment managers “hid evidence” from the Senate. The official transcript of the Trump-Zelenskyy call shows that both leaders talked about “burden-sharing” in support of Ukraine by other European countries.
- The President’s attorneys said: The House managers “come here to the Senate and they ask you [to] remove a President, tear up the ballots in all of your states, and they don’t bother to read the key evidence of the discussion of burden-sharing that’s in the call itself. Now, that’s emblematic of their entire presentation. They have the burden of proof. And they have not come close to meeting it.”
Pray.
2. Focus on the Facts
Deputy White House counsel Mike Purpura said the entire case put forward by House impeachment managers melts under what he said were “six key facts”:
- First, the transcript shows that the President did not condition either security assistance or a meeting on anything.
- Second, President Zelenskyy and other Ukrainian officials repeatedly have said there was no “quid pro quo” and no pressure on them to review anything.
- Third, President Zelenskyy and high-ranking Ukrainian officials did not even know the security assistance was paused until the end of August, over a month after the July 25 call.
- Fourth, not a single witness testified that President Trump said that there was any connection between any investigations in security assistance, a presidential meeting, or anything else.
- Fifth, the security assistance was released on September 11 and a presidential meeting took place on Sept. 25 at the United Nations, without the Ukrainian government announcing any investigations.
- Finally, the Democrats’ blind drive to impeach the President does not and cannot change the fact, as attested to by the Democrats’ own witnesses, that President Trump has been a better friend and stronger supporter of Ukraine than his predecessor. On the last point, numerous witnesses who testified at the House impeachment hearings made clear that they supported the Trump administration’s policy of providing lethal weapons to Ukraine to defend itself from Russia. President Barack Obama’s administration had refused to provide such weaponry.
Pray.
3. ‘Claiming to Be Mind Readers’
- Zelinsky said that he was not pressured to begin investigations of Burisma and possible Ukrainian meddling in the 2016 US election. Attorney Purpura noted. “Of course, the best evidence that there was no pressure or quid pro quo is the statements of Ukrainians themselves…President Zelenskyy himself felt no pressure on the call and did not perceive there to be any connection between security assistance and investigations… in any ordinary case in any court, (that would) be totally fatal to the prosecution. The judge would throw it out. The case would be over. What more do you need to know?”
- House members said that it was unlikely that Zelensky would challenge Trump. Purpura dismissed this idea: “How do they try to overcome the direct words from President Zelenskyy and his administration that they felt no pressure? They tell you that the Ukrainians must have felt pressure, regardless of what they said. They try to overcome the devastating evidence against them by apparently claiming to be mind readers. They know what’s in President Zelenskyy’s mind better than he does. Every time the Democrats say that President Trump made demands or issued a quid pro quo to Zelenskyy on the July 25 call, they are saying that President Zelenskyy and his top advisers are being untruthful.”
- Sekulow, the President’s personal lawyer, said: “This entire impeachment process is about the House managers’ insistence that they are able to read everybody’s thoughts; they can read everybody’s intentions, even when the principal speakers, the witnesses themselves, insist that those interpretations are wrong.” He noted that it is well known that Trump is suspicious of foreign aid, noting that the President also reviewed or held up aid to Afghanistan, South Korea, and Pakistan, and other nations.
Pray.
4. Ukraine Unaware of Hold on Aid
- The President’s lawyers also asserted that Ukraine wasn’t aware that Trump had put a hold on the military aid, and never broached the topic with the US officials until an Aug. 28 story in Politico, which ran more than a month after the July 25 phone call between Trump and Zelenskyy. “We know there was no quid pro quo on the call; we know that from the transcript,” Purpura said. “There couldn’t possibly have been a quid pro quo because the Ukrainians didn’t know the security assistance was on hold. There can’t be a threat without the person knowing he’s being threatened.”
- Democrat-called witnesses told House members that they did not believe the Ukrainian government was aware that the US aid was being held up until the news story appeared in late August. “The House managers are aware that the Ukrainians’ lack of knowledge on the hold is fatal to their case, so they desperately tried to muddy the water,” Purpura said.
- Democrats’ repeatedly asserted the President wanted Zelenskyy to “do him a favor”. Pointing to the transcript of the call, Purpura said: “As everyone knows by now, President Trump asked President Zelenskyy to “do ‘us’ a favor.” And he made clear that ‘us’ referred to our country, and not himself. There was no mention of the paused security assistance on the call, and certainly not from President Trump.
Pray.
5. ‘Relitigate the Mueller Case’
- Jay Sekulow addressed Schiff having asked Senators to put themselves in the shoes of Joe Biden, and imagine that President Trump had asked for Ukraine to investigate any one of them. “Let me begin by saying that you cannot simply decide this case in a vacuum. Mr. Schiff said yesterday…you should put yourself in someone else’s shoes. Let’s for a moment put ourselves in the shoes of the President of the United States. In their opening statement, several of the House managers tried once again to relitigate the Mueller case.”
- An FBI investigation of Trump for alleged conspiracy with Russia was underway before he was even elected,
- A few months into his presidency, Mueller was named as special counsel and investigated the Russian matter for two years.
- The Mueller probe, which cost $32 million in taxpayers’ money and included 2,800 subpoenas, 500 search warrants, and 500 witness interviews, cleared the President and his campaign of any conspiracy or coordination with Russia to influence the 2016 election. \
- That investigation was predicated on what has now been determined to be a faulty FBI process of seeking a warrant to surveil a Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page. “The President had reason to be concerned about the information he was being provided” (by the FBI and other intelligence agencies)

FL Republican Senator Rick Scott said: “House Democrats had their chance to prove their case. They failed. It’s time for them to sit down and shut up. They’re trying to overturn the will of 127 million Americans. The Republican Senate won’t let them.”
We pray:
- That this trial will be a “done deal’- and that the President will have been fully exonerated by the time the State of the Union message is delivered!
