Monday, July 26, 2021 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“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!
“He has shown you, O man, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?”
Micah 6:8
We sing: In the Garden
I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses.
And the voice I hear falling on my ear, the Son of God discloses.
And He walks with me…and He talks with me…and He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known!
He speaks and the sound of His voice is so sweet, the birds hush their singing!
And the melody that He gave to me, within my heart is ringing.
And He walks with me…and He talks with me…and He tells me I am His own,
And the joy we share as we tarry there, none other has ever known!
~~~
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!
Pray.
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 Activation of the Spirit of the American Revolution – Part 35
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
Let me tell you a little bit about American Cornerstone Institute, which is our new endeavor. Our powers as citizens reside in informed voting. It means taking the time to think about what you believe based on your own values and principles. This is part of the reason that I started the American Cornerstone Institute. (ACI) We get our namesake from the four cornerstones of American life, which are faith, liberty, community, and life. These are the cornerstones of the greatest experiment in self-government the world has ever seen. They are the cornerstones of the American dream. Unfortunately, all four of these cornerstones are under attack…all in the name of progress. If the attackers succeed, our people run the risk of forgetting our roots, the very source of what made us a great nation in the first place. Pray.
But drawing on our faith, we believe that the stone that the builders have rejected can become the cornerstone once again. Our mission is simple: By restoring these four cornerstones to American life, we will work to:
- promote and preserve individual and religious liberty,
- help our nation’s most vulnerable find new hope,
- decrease the federal government’s role in society,
- improve efficiency to best serve all of our nation’s citizens. Pray.
The first of these cornerstones, faith, is perhaps the most significant because it lays the groundwork for all the others. In fact, faith has been the cornerstone of America since her inception, and indeed, even before she became a unified country.
- It was faith and a quest for religious liberty that led the Pilgrims to board the Mayflower and brave that treacherous journey across the Atlantic.
- It was faith that grounded our cause of independence so that someday we could secure for all certain amiable rights endowed to us by our Creator.
- It was faith that guided us through revelation. It was faith that gave us the courage to end slavery at the cost of the Civil War. It was faith that gave us the moral fortitude necessary to defeat communism and fascism in the 20th century. It will be faith that will help us to defeat those same things in the 21st century. Pray.
Today, we often hear about the supposed wall of separation between church and state, but this phrase would have been foreign to the men who actually built this country. This phrase appears nowhere in our Constitution. It actually comes from a letter written by Thomas Jefferson to the Danbury Baptists in which he promised that the federal government would not interfere with the rights of the church. Our Founding Fathers actually understood that without faith in God, our liberties can never be secure. Our founders knew that all of our countries claims about justice, human rights, equality, and liberty stem from the laws of nature and nature’s God. Pray.
In communism, it’s just the opposite. They replace God with government. With that in mind, the American cornerstone is to understand that as Americans, we are a free people with a noble inheritance. We have a right to live according to our faith and the dictates of our conscience and all the power of the government has come first from the people. The government works for the people; people don’t work for the government. We can never forget that. We cannot let the government forget that. Pray.
The second cornerstone, liberty. We must fight against government encroachment on that liberty. As Reagan recognized, when government expands, liberties contract. Individuals in groups always work better when they are to pursue their own interests, and we will always oppose the modern-day forces that seek to infringe upon our God-given rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Pray.
“The shining city on the hill,” the place that people made their destination from around the world…why? Because we have liberty, we had freedom of thought, freedom of speech. Some people say, well, we haven’t lost our freedom of speech because the government hasn’t imposed restriction on our speech. Guess what? When big tech and other entities in the private sector, like the media, impose restrictions on our speech with the compliance of the government, the results were of every bit as devastating and it was exactly what our Founders wanted to avoid. We need to understand that. Pray.
The third cornerstone of American exceptionalism is community. You will notice that the word itself sounds like a combination of two words we use a lot – common and unity – meaning that we, as Americans are unified by the things we have in common. At the ACI, we’re committed to the work of rebuilding those institutions and restoring our sense of community. To do so, we must return to what we have in common. Our shared values. We turn to the wisdom of the past to guide us in the present, continually draw upon the great figures of our history to elevate our minds and noble ourselves, inspire her deeds. We can’t throw away our history. Those people who want to abolish our history, to rename everything, what are they doing? Think about it: Your history is what gives you your identity. Your identity is what gives you your beliefs. So if you destroy all that, you become nothing, very easy to manipulate. That’s why ISIS, (before they got destroyed by the previous administration), would go into a place, ravish it, tear down the statues, destroy the museums, destroy all the documents, leave the people without a history, making them much easier to control. We can’t be fooled into letting that happen in our country. Pray.
You know, Americans seem to have forgotten that there’s so much more that brings us together than tear us apart. We’re called the United States of America and we will work to bring everyone, regardless of the background and beliefs, together. We, the American people, are not each other’s enemies. We have to realize that. That person who lived next to you for 20 years peacefully, they’re still your friend. They’re not your true enemy because they have a different yard sign than you do. The people who manipulate us and make us think that — they are the enemies. Pray.
And our final cornerstone is life. As conservatives, we know that all life is sacred because we are all made by the same hand of our Creator and His Image and His likeness. This means that we believe all life is precious…from the unborn child inside the mother’s womb to the homeless individual, struggling with addiction on the street. It also means life in a more comprehensive way. At the ACI, we will always advocate for policies that uplift each and every individual to the full life and dignity that God intended. This means that we will advocate for policies that promote self-sufficiency over government dependence; we’ll reject any policy that keeps people mired in the vicious cycle of poverty that has plagued our nation ever since the great society of the 1960s. Because we believe that every life matters, ACI will always advocate for life and solutions that help people reach a place of dignity as a child of God. Pray.
With these four tenants as our guiding principles, the American Cornerstone Institute will champion conservative solutions to real problems that face our nation, common-sense solutions to issues such as election integrity, and we will work to heal the divisiveness that plagues our nation’s politics. We realize that that’s not going to be an easy mission. We have to remember that we here in America are unique, different, with an American dream. There’s no Canadian dream…no French dream…no Nigerian dream. We’re the only ones who have “a dream”. It’s because of our values and our principles, what we believe. And the only people who can destroy that are us. No one else can! Pray.
We firmly believe that what we have in common as Americans far outweighs our differences. We believe that through reason and dialogue, cooler heads will prevail. We believe that those four words, faith, liberty, community, and life will fill our hearts and minds like they did for generations before us. And there is nothing that we can’t accomplish when that happens. Forget about the people who try to divide us on the basis of race, or on the basis of age, or income, or religion…divide and conquer. We’re smarter than that. We’re not going to throw away what we have and degenerate into a society of people who hate each other, who are always engaged in tit for tat. It’s time for somebody to be the adult in the room. Pray.
Thank you again for having me here today, for convening this conference, to discuss the importance of election integrity. I look forward to answering some of your questions.
Michele Bachmann: Dr. Carson, thank you so much. We can easily see the passion and love that you have in your heart for the United States of America. Your heartfelt comments have generated so many questions…so here’s the first:. . “What can I do to fight for true, honest elections? I feel like we’re losing to big tech, Marxism, big donations by George Soros and others who hate America, compromised politicians, and a leftist propaganda.”
Ben Carson: Well, first of all, you know, I never get discouraged because I read the end of the Book. I read the whole Bible and I know what happens. But in the meantime, we have a responsibility to hold the feet to the fire of our local elected officials. Speak to them. Write to them. Get your neighbors too. The fact is the American people at large are wise. They do have common sense. They do have a sense of fairness. Politicians and Washington, not so much. They’re just interested in power and power, grabbing it and enshrining themselves in a way that they will always have power. So it’s the local officials that you must work with very hard. Not to say that you shouldn’t be writing to your senators and to your congressmen as well. They need to hear from you too. The more they hear from you, the more it impacts them. Hold them responsible. If you sit idly by, you let the wrong people have control. Pray.
Michele Bachmann: Great response. Two questions deal with the issue of voter ID. The first one is asking
“Dr. Carson, do you think we have entered into a new era of voter fraud and election integrity?” The next is
“Do you think that voter ID is racist?”
Ben Carson: We’ve entered into a new era of fraud if we allow it. That is the dividing point between whether America remains a free and prosperous nation, or whether we turn into something else. There was a time when political parties agreed on what the end goal was. They had different ways of getting there, but they had the same end goal. Now they don’t have the same end goal. There’s one group that believes in traditional American values, and the other thinks it’s all wrong…that we need to fundamentally change America., and that they can do anything… lie…cheat… because the ends justifies the means. Our forefathers were very wise as they put this thing together, because they knew that we would get to this point and that the salvation of our nation would lie with the people. Now, as far as voter ID is concerned, it’s not racist. What is racist is saying that certain people don’t have the common sense or the ability to get the identification… that they’re too stupid… incapable. What a bunch of garbage. There are a group of people who derive their power from dividing people. They try to convince people that they are victims, that somebody else is causing their problem… and that they are their “savior”. Pray.
Michele Bachmann: You served in a Republican administration with other Republican officials. This question is: “Why won’t Republican politicians unite and demand voter integrity with voter ID.”
Ben Carson: I hope at some point, in the very near future, that they will unite. You know, the left tends to be very united and a lot of people on the right have their little “pet peeve issues” and they cling to those and they won’t cooperate. They won’t unite…not seeming to understand that if you don’t present a united front for the very valuable things that constitute America – and America is more of an idea than just a place – then you will lose America. Then, your little pet issue won’t matter. So let’s deal with the bigger issue, first of keeping this country free, and then we can deal with the pet issue. Pray.
Michele Bachmann: “What could the United States have done differently to prevent the fraud in this last election? Or maybe you don’t think there was fraud in the last election?”
Ben Carson: There was plenty of fraud, no question about that. I think everybody acknowledges that. We have people that say, “Yes, there was fraud, but it wasn’t enough fraud.” You’ll notice that the courts really haven’t looked at the evidence that exists. It’s almost as if they’re afraid to look at the evidence that exists. It would be incumbent upon all of our mediums to insist that we look at the evidence. If there’s nothing to hide, what’s the problem with looking at the evidence? Prove that there’s nothing to hide and we move on. I think everyone needs to insist that we look at the evidence. Both sides have doubts about the integrity of our system. That means there are issues that need to be dealt with. We can’t just stick our heads in the sand and say, “Let’s move on. Let’s do it again.” Pray.
Michele Bachmann: Could you just briefly answer this: “How can people organize for action to be seen in public, speaking for election integrity, like you’ve just done?”
Ben Carson: Again, that’s one of the reasons that we have American Cornerstone Institute, americancornerstone.org. Go there; we have mechanisms where you can organize and get involved with election integrity. All of us need to get involved in it across the country—get your churches organized, get your community groups organized. Again, it is we, the people. This country is for us. It’s about us. And if we don’t take responsibility at this point, we’re going to regret it. Pray.
Michele Bachmann: Thank you so much on behalf of everyone. God bless you, Dr. Carson.
We pray:
- In gratitude for Dr. Carson’s profession of faith, and for publicly declaring that he had read the whole Bible…and knows how all of this ends… victoriously! Pray.
- For the protection of Dr. Carson, his wife Candy, and all of the Carson family, so that he will be enabled to continue to speak out as the Spirit directs him, boldly an uncompromised, Pray.
- That whatever your plans are for Dr. Carson in the future, we trust that You will use him as a vessel of honor, one from which You will receive glory. Pray.
- We pray for the people of Cuba, attempting to throw off the shackles of communism, to be successful so that they and their children are redeemed by the Lord and able to live in freedom! Cuba Libre! Pray.
- That President Trump will contact us soon regarding an “appointed place” and an “appointed time” for our meeting with him! Pray.
