For us to receive and put on the Ephesians 6 “full armor of God” as we begin each hour,
that we might be protected as we continue to “stand in the gap” for our beloved country!
Pray.
The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our duly elected (and now re-elected) President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection, as he prepares to be inaugurated as our 47th President.
May he be led by the Holy Spirit
so that he will discern truth and act for the good of the nation.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage and family, and cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For those leaders that God has anointed, appointed, and elected,
as they take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
May they work together to clean up corruption in our government, and restore our electoral system.
Pray.
The Lord has asked us to dedicate these final 30 days to prayer for Washington, DC as it is prepared for the Inauguration! Every hour, we will be praying for the cleansing, purging and preparation of DC.
May January 20th be a day the Manifest Glory of God is revealed in the Capitol of the US!
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump.
During the final 70 days before the Inauguration, we are standing
in FAITH AND HOPE AND OBEDIENCE TO OUR CALLING…
praying that he will be alive to be inaugurated as our 47th President on January 20th, 2025!
Pray.

ANOTHER IMPACT TO THE BUDGET BEFORE TRUMP TAKES OFFICE! The Social Security Fairness Act: A $200 Billion Boondoggle! Congress just passed a law that will give millions of people extra Social Security benefits that they simply do not deserve and haven’t earned. To understand what is going on, here is a quick history lesson: The original Social Security Act included unintentional and overly generous benefits for government employees…benefits that no other Americans could get. About 50 years ago, a more responsible Congress recognized this and created two laws to correct this mistake:
The Windfall Elimination Provision (WPO) said that Social Security retirement benefits for government employees should be figured in the same way as those for all other senior citizens.
The Government Pension Offset (GPO) law said that government pensions should offset any Social Security spousal benefits potentially due, just as Social Security retirement benefits have always offset those same spousal benefits.
Now, bowing to relentless pressure from government employee unions and advocacy groups, a more naive and vote-seeking Congress has repealed the WEP and GPO. So once again, government retirees will get overly generous Social Security benefits that no other senior citizens in the country are eligible for. And by so doing, they have put a $200 billion hole in an already rapidly deflating Social Security budget balloon.
Pray.
To explain why repealing the WEP and GPO is a wrongheaded boondoggle, I will use myself as an example. First, you need to know a basic tenet of Social Security: Benefits have always been skewed to give lower-paid workers a better deal than their more highly paid counterparts. Very low-paid workers could get a Social Security benefit that represents up to 90% of their preretirement earnings. This percentage is known as a “replacement rate.” People with average incomes (the middle class) generally get a 40% replacement rate. I spent the bulk of my career working for the federal government. While working as a Fed, I paid into the Civil Service Retirement System, not Social Security. (Things have changed since I was hired in the early 1970s; all federal employees hired after 1984 pay into Social Security.) I also did pay into Social Security at a few jobs I had in high school and college and at other jobs I’ve had since I retired from federal government work. I have about 15 years of earnings that were covered by Social Security. So when the Social Security computers looked at my record when I applied for Social Security benefits, they assumed that I must be poor. After all, I had all of those years with no earnings. That record didn’t show that I actually was working all that time for the government and earning a civil service retirement pension. Because the Social Security system thought I was poor, it was programmed to give me that 90% poor person’s benefit rate. In other words, I would have been getting an undeserved windfall from Social Security. (That’s where the “Windfall Elimination Act” came in. It correctly recognized that I wasn’t poor, and it gave me the same 40% rate that all other average-income Americans get. (It did the same for all other workers who spent the bulk of their careers in jobs not covered by Social Security. These are primarily teachers, police officers, and firefighters in certain states… groups who don’t pay into Social Security.) Pray.
For the past half-century, union officials representing these groups have been pressuring Congress to eliminate the WEP because they wrongly think that the law cheats their members out of Social Security benefits they are due. In each of those years, a bill to eliminate the WEP has failed to get approved. But in this wacky political year, things were different. So even though almost all of you reading this column are getting the proper 40% Social Security benefit rate, Congress has now decided to eliminate the WEP to give government employees the 90% rate—boosting the Social Security checks by a couple hundred extra bucks per month. What a sham…and what a shame! Pray.
But it gets even worse. The other law that the misnamed “Fairness Act” eliminated is called the Government Pension Offset. Before the GPO law came into effect, I would have been able to get my government pension retirement check and I would have been due a “dependent” husband’s benefit on my wife’s Social Security record. Why? Because of those Social Security computers that think I’m a poor old guy with just a small Social Security check. So I was deemed financially dependent on my wife and granted spousal benefits on her Social Security record. But when the GPO law came along, it recognized that I worked for the government and get a civil service pension check. Just like a Social Security retirement check offsets any spousal benefits that might be due, my civil service pension check would also offset those potential dependent benefits. Pray.
By eliminating the GPO, Congress is giving all of those millions of other government pensioners unintended benefits from our spouses. Think about that. Almost all of you reading this column cannot collect your own Social Security retirement check and at the same time get some extra benefits from your spouse’s account. But now, government pensioners will do just that. If you don’t think it’s fair, then write your member of Congress and say: “Shame on you! I thought you were supposed to be saving Social Security, not squandering its funds on greedy government retirees!” Pray.
Action: Write or email your representatives in the House and Senate and ask them to reverse this!.

We pray:
That Congress will receive messages from citizens across the nation, decrying these vile decisions and asking that they be reversed. Pray.
That Social Security will remain secure, so that those who have paid into it for so many years, will receive the funds they need to live on in their “golden years.” Pray.
That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! 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! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
