“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 Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?”
Psalm 27:1
We sing: Shine, Jesus, Shine
Lord, the light of Your love is shining, in the midst of the darkness, shining.
Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us, set us free by the truth You now bring us.
Shine on me, shine on me!
Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory! Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire!
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy!
Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light!
Lord, I come to Your awesome Presence, from the shadows into Your radiance.
By the blood I may enter Your brightness. Search me, try me, consume all my darkness.
Shine on me, shine on me!
Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory! Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire!
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy!
Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light!
As we gaze on Your kingly brightness, so our faces display Your likeness,
ever changing from glory to glory, mirrored here, may our lives tell Your story.
Shine on me, shine on me!
Shine, Jesus, shine, fill this land with the Father’s glory! Blaze, Spirit, blaze, set our hearts on fire!
Flow, river, flow, flood the nations with grace and mercy!
Send forth Your Word, Lord, and let there be light!
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.
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 the removal of Joe Biden and restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.
Pray.
That as the REDEMPTION of the AMERICAN REPUBLIC takes place, those leaders that God anoints and appoints will take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
Pray.
For protection, provision, and peace
for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of the 2020 election!
Pray.
For the strengthening of the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
and for new intercessors to join our 24/7 family in praying for our President and the nation!
Pray.

Do Not Leave Quietly: A Call for Everyday People to Rise Up and Defeat Evil
by Mario Murillo
Chapter 20 – THE DEADLIEST SILENCE: WHEN GOD CANNOT HEAR YOU
GOD DOES NOT HEAR EVERYONE’S PRAYERS. God shuts out some prayers. Proverbs 28:9 says:
“One who turns away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer is an abomination.”
That is strong stuff. But there are two other pertinent verses:
- Psalm 66:18 “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord wiII not hear.”
- Proverbs 21:13 “Whoever shuts his ears to the cry of the poor will also cry himself and not be heard.”
The deadliest silence is when God cannot hear you. Pray.
Sure, you care about what happens to America. And yes, you want to be used by the Holy Spirit to drive back evil. But you will be heard on earth only after you have been heard in heaven. Satan does not respect talent, fame, or eloquence. He does not stand down before men with human prowess who come in the name of God. But he instantly flees before the man whose prayers get through to God. Pray.
E.M. Bounds said, “The Church is looking for better methods; God is looking for better men…The Holy Ghost does not flow through methods, but through men. He does not come upon machinery, but on men. He does not anoint plans, but men – men of prayer.“
Because the world is being flooded with evil, it is spilling over into the Church. Social media has created a swampland of so called “apostles” and “prophets” who are powerless to save America. They are court jesters, providing amusement to bored believers. Pray.
Yes, there are true prophets and apostles. But the real ones rarely claim titles. The false ones are constantly claiming things.
- They claim to possess gifts of power, but they never do any damage to evil. They are making it all up.
- They influence gullible believers to chase “words” from God. They create prophetic junkies seeking a daily fix. Meanwhile, their Bibles gather dust.
- Many are ignorant of what satan is doing to the nation. Worse still, they are totally ignorant of the role God wants them to play in rescuing our nation.
We have never seen so many fakes in the ministry doing so much harm to the Church. Pray.
But we should not be surprised. Paul told us that in the last days, they would come in bigger numbers.
“But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived”
2 Timothy 3:13
God considers them His enemy. They are a destructive force in the Church, and they are heaping disaster on both those who listen to them and upon themselves. Matthew Henry wrote this about 2 Timothy 3:13…”Paul warns Timothy of the fatal end of seducers, as a reason why he should stick closely to the truth as it is in Jesus: But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse. Observe, as good men, by the grace of God, grow better and better, so bad men, through the subtlety of Satan and the power of their own corruptions, grow worse and worse. The way of sin is downhill; for such proceed from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. Those who deceive others do but deceive themselves; those who draw others into error run themselves into more and more mistakes, and they will find it so at last, to their cost.” Pray
Next, Paul warns Timothy that in the last days we must constantly press into the safety of prayer and reading the Word of God.
“But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of,
knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures,
which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction,
for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
2 Timothy 3:14-17
Coming clean is life and death to those who want a God-given voice – a voice that drives back evil. Admit it! Modern American Christians are distracted and, in many cases, deceived. God is neither in their marketing programs nor in their diluted gospel of convenience. God is not in the circus atmosphere of false miracles and man-made prophecies. Pray.
If you regard the carnal church, God will not hear you. If you dabble in the gifts the way the New Age movement dabbles in crystals, God is deaf to your prayers. If you toy with the Holy Spirit in the same way that some use Tarot cards, then your prayers are an abomination. What makes it so horrendous is that Christians are doing all of these things in the middle of a war. They are looking the other way as satan builds a prison for their children and grandchildren. Pray.
But there is a great hope: the power to destroy the works of satan is available:
- Training from the Holy Spirit to use the weapons of God awaits you.
- Heaven has a strategy, kept ready and waiting for our obedience.
- God wants to give you the greatest voice of all – prevailing prayer. Pray.
But before there can be a “great awakening”, there must be a rude awakening. The people of Judah complained that all of their efforts to get God’s attention had failed. God spoke through Isaiah and exposed their condition. They assumed that if they fasted, God would have to listen to them. They were about to get an education.
“Why have we fasted,” they say,” and You have not seen?
Why have we afflicted our souls, and You take no notice?”
Isaiah 58:3
God was not listening because they were trying to manipulate fasting. Pray
The prophet continues:
“In fact, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and exploit all your laborers.
Indeed, you fast for strife and debate, and to strike with the fist of wickedness.
You will not fast as you do this day, to make your voice heard on high.
Is it a fast that I have chosen, a day for a man to afflict his soul?
Is it to bow down his head like a bulrush, and to spread out sackcloth and ashes?
Would you call this fast, and an acceptable day to the Lord?”
Isaiah 58:3-5
These are loaded questions! God asks, “Do you think that your ‘Kabuki theater’ prayers get results? Do you think I will reward you for putting on an act of self-denial?” Pray.
Then God answers!
“Is this not the fast that I have chosen: to loose the bonds of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens,
to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
Is it not to share your bread with the hungry, and that you bring to your house the poor who are cast out;
when you see the naked, that you cover him, and not hide yourself from your own flesh?”
Isaiah 58:6-7
You can feel God’s heart in this. “I can’t hear you! You think prayer and fasting are a booster rocket for your pet projects. I am not in the empire you are trying to build. I have plans of My own!” Pray.
Instead of going without food, God wanted them to give out food. We have a destiny with the poor. Yes, the Left has done horrendous social work. Yes, they have left the poor worse off. But that does not mean we cannot touch the hungry and the homeless. In fact, the Left rushed in to fill the vacuum left behind by the Church’s failure. But the Left tried to fill the vacuum with cold institutional programs. We have had the edge all the time. We have compassion, and we can bring them love and dignity. Pray.
Nothing tells us more about the abject failure and insult of Leftist programs than this: At the beginning of Black History Month 2022, we learned that Biden’s Health and Human Services will be giving out “safe smoking kits” designed, in part, to help tobacco smokers, vapers, and crack addicts to smoke more safely. However, they denied that taxpayer money will pay for crack pipes or that they are targeting minorities.
In our crusades, we do not just hand out sandwiches. Our workers pray with people. They see miracles of healing. Not only that, but we come back again and again. The poor and homeless know that this is not a “photo op” for us. We are genuinely committed to getting them off of the streets. But this has another great benefit. Those who volunteer at our crusades are never the same. They go home to become the best gift a pastor ever had. Pray.
The final sin of those who were fasting was that their own families were not in order. “And do not hide yourself from your own flesh.” How many famous Christian leaders have we seen who ignore their own marriage and their children? They show the love of God to everyone except the very ones God has given them to love.
Whenever the Church finds a shortcut for growth, the first two things that are cut out are prayer and soul-winning. Even when prayer is retained, it is kept as an artificial version of itself. We intercede with no intention of hearing and obeying God’s orders. Where we fail is by thinking that intercession replaces obedience and by not matching our prayers with the expectation of receiving marching orders. How can we obey what Jesus said in Matthew 9:38, “Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest” and yet not expect to send workers into the harvest? Such simple corrections! But such vast rewards! So much so that we are without excuse. Pray
Here is what God promised to those who repent of false prayer and fasting:
Then your light shall break forth like the morning, your healing shall spring forth speedily,
and your righteousness shall go before you; the glory of the Lord shall be your rear guard.
Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry, and He will say, “Here am I”
Isaiah 58:8-9
But what was the final reward of those who will repent? Instead of the disappointment of silence, and after a lifetime of praying without seeing results, we will hear God say, “Here am I!” Pray.
We pray:
- Lord, we humble ourselves and lay our lives down before You. We repent for the things in which we have failed and start anew…today…so that we may continually hear Your voice and follow Your lead. Pray.
- Put Your HOLY FIRE in our bellies, and ignite us so that we will move forward to retake our country and restore its founding principles! Pray.
- For committed Christian warriors to arise and boldly “stand in the gap” in each of our 50 states, fighting courageously in the Battle to SAVE America! Pray.
- Let locally elected officials throughout the nation boldly “stand in the gap”, and to FIGHT to see the fraud in the 2020 election rectified! Pray.
- Guard and protect our 24/7 family with the Blood of Jesus, as we “stand in the gap” in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! Pray.
- Bring our Commander in Chief, President Trump, back quickly, and lead him on as he prepares to officially resume the leadership of our country! Pray.
- Remove the usurper Biden and all those who have colluded in betraying our Constitution…and sold us out to the enemies of the nation! Pray.
- Get our homes in order so that they are places for Your HABITATION and sanctuaries for others! Pray.
