July 12, 2024 – Notes Shabbat Call
07-12-24 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
As we entered the SHABBAT CALL tonight, Maureen prayed and rejoiced in being together again and thanked God that Ps Ioan is feeling better after returning from DC and is now recovered…and ready for the next assignment!
Carol (IL) led us in praying to receive the Ephesians 6 “armor of God” as we engage in the BATTLE OF THE BRIDE…A WARFARE OF LOVE on behalf of our beloved nation!
“Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”
Ephesians 6:10-18
We prayed corporately, receiving God’s armor and asking that we wear it with the dignity it deserves!

Prayer Requests:
Kathy (PA) writes: “I got a terrible diagnosis of 100% blockage in the main valve and carotid artery. I don’t really have symptoms and I need prayer. They want to do major surgery and I’m just praying God is in the healing process with me.” We prayed for her corporately and individually, and sent her love! Cards and encouragement may be sent to Kathy at: serenity26@aol.com
We noted that we have answered the Call to a National Day of Prayer and are waiting in joyful expectation for

‘A Generation-Defining Moment’: House Passes SAVE Act to Protect Election Integrity
Nearly all House Democrats voted against a “generation-defining” election security bill that would certify only U.S. citizens to register to vote in national elections. The House of Representatives passed the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R. 8281) by a near party-line vote of 221-198 vote. The bill amends the 1993 National Voter Registration Act (NVRA), which required officials to ask anyone applying for a driver’s license if they want to register to vote, as well. Although the federal form asks applicants to swear they are American citizens, a 2013 Supreme Court opinion bars states from asking for any proof of citizenship, such as a form of identification. “You don’t have to prove anything. There’s no documentation, there’s no requirement of reporting,” said Rep. Greg Murphy (R-NC) on Wednesday’s episode of “Washington Watch with Tony Perkins.” The SAVE Act would require officials to see a vista of identification forms that prove citizenship, as well as allowing them access to federal databases where they could verify the applicant’s citizenship.
Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) called the vote “a generation-defining moment” and “one of the most important votes that members of this chamber will ever take” in an impassioned speech Wednesday afternoon. “Every so often in this chamber, we take a vote that clearly reveals what we think about the world. There are important votes every day, but there are some votes that define who we are. It defines our worldview. It defines what we think about the Constitution, about the rule of law. It defines our careers, and it defines our character. It’s a signal to the voters fundamentally about what we believe about our country.” The bill raised “an issue we never thought that we would ever have to address, but that moment has come to us now: Should Americans, and Americans alone, determine the outcome of American elections, or should we allow foreigners and illegal aliens to determine who sits in the White House, and here in the people’s House, and in the Senate?” On Wednesday afternoon, 216 Republicans and five Democrats voted yes, while four Republicans and 14 Democrats did not even vote.
An analysis by Just Facts found that between 10% and 27% of non-citizen adults in the United States are registered to vote. Already, 16 cities and municipalities in California, Maryland, and Vermont allow non-citizens to vote legally in state or local elections, in addition to the District of Columbia. New York City Mayor Eric Adams (D) supported a measure allowing illegal immigrants to vote in city elections — a law struck down by the New York Supreme Court of Richmond County in June 2022. “In Oakland, in San Francisco, in New York, and D.C., Democrats are pushing to let non-citizens vote,” Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) told TWS. “They say — wink, wink — only in local elections, but they get blended together.”
Mike Howell of the Heritage Foundation found that 10% of non-citizens his team interviewed said they were already registered to vote. He also discovered a Queens-based nonprofit called La Jornada, which operates out of St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and provides residency papers to non-citizens, which could enable them to register to vote. The group received a $250,000 federal grant thanks to the efforts of Rep. Grace Meng (D-N.Y.).
Speaker Johnson previously called the issue of non-citizens voting “a very clear and real threat” to U.S. election integrity. “It shouldn’t surprise us that criminals who broke our border laws, my friends, will break our election laws. These are not paragons of virtue in all these cases — these 70% of people who are of military age coming into our country with no deterrence at all. They’re not law-abiding citizens, my friends; they’re illegal aliens.”
Jenny Beth Martin of Tea Party Patriots told TWS her grassroots conservative organization “strongly supports the bill. This legislation would represent a step forward to assure the integrity of our national voting process.” A poll the group commissioned found 87% of all Americans support the bill’s aims. “Everybody who looks at this question answers it the right way — just about everybody,” said Johnson. “They refuse to hand over our country to illegal aliens, cartels, traffickers, and violent criminals and murderers. These are not huddled masses of people seeking refuge from persecution and seeking asylum here for just causes. These are people who do not have our best designs in mind, because of Joe Biden’s open border policies, we have got ISIS smuggling rings operating in our country. We have cartels who have operational control of the border. We’ve got Chinese and Russian spies here in our midst, operating openly in our country. We’ve got murderers and rapists offending again and again across this country, and they are never deported.”
ICE arrested 389,237 illegal immigrants convicted or charged with crimes during the first three years of the Trump administration, compared with 165,650 in the same time period of the Biden administration — a 57% reduction in criminal alien arrests, according to the Center for Immigration Studies. The reduction comes despite a 425% increase in illegal border crossings at the southwestern border under Biden (1,552,003 vs. 6,589,299). “If only 1% of them would vote, it wouldn’t just change one race; it might potentially change all of our races,” said Johnson. “We are merely suggesting that since so many illegal aliens are in the country … is it worth adding a layer of protection to ensure that all those illegals cannot register to vote? Is there any action that [Democrats] will take to reduce the opportunity for fraud?” he wondered.
Roy added on the floor that “this administration and our colleagues on the other side of the aisle have been damaging and breaking American sovereignty for the entirety of this administration and before. They are destroying our borders. They are allowing people to flood into our country.”
Democrats said the bill is unnecessary, harmful, and “unpatriotic.” Rep. Joseph Morelle (D-N.Y.) said “MAGA Republicans” have repeated “easily disproved conspiracy theories.” Yet Morelle and his party went on to spin a few conspiratorial yarns of their own. Morelle dismissed the bill as nothing more than “a pretext for overturning the 2024 election, possibly leading to another tragedy on January 6, 2025.”
“The SAVE Act is the most severe voter suppression act ever considered at a federal level,” Morelle thundered, erroneously asserting that Republicans “have no proof” of illegal immigrants voting in U.S. elections. The “unpatriotic” and “shameful” bill “will disenfranchise tens of millions of Americans,” he contended.
Others piled on, making progressively wilder claims about the bill’s impact and motivations. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) derided “this extreme MAGA Republican voter suppression bill,” which he proceeded to tie to gun control, the overturn of Roe v. Wade, and Project 2025. Rep. Summer Lee (D-Penn.) claimed the bill proved “the right to vote is under attack. It is not hypothetical.” Rep. Jennifer McClellan (D-Va.) said, “This bill is essentially a poll tax … the 2024 equivalent of the Jim Crow poll tax.” Rep. Terri A. Sewell (D-Ala.) brought up the 59-year-old Civil Rights action in Selma, Alabama, while calling the measure “a dangerous, anti-democratic bill.” The real problem, Sewell said, is “the lack of federal oversight,” which now allows states to pass election integrity laws.
“Spare me your crocodile tears!” the bill’s sponsors, Rep. Chip Roy (R-TX) and Rep. Wesley Hunt (R-TX) defended the bill and America’s racial progress. “I’ve been black for my entire life. I could bring up the most racist thing I’ve ever heard in my entire life is the insinuation by Democrats that black and brown Americans are too stupid to get an ID to vote just like everyone else. Jim Crow is over. I know because my parents grew up in it.”
The bill now goes to the Democrat-controlled Senate, where it was introduced by Senator Mike Lee (R-UT). Biden has threatened to veto the bill if it passes.
If you believe only U.S. citizens should vote in U.S. elections…in one person, one vote… that every voter should be required to prove their identity with a photo ID, we must FEDERALLY MANDATE voter ID laws in every state in America. Democrats are racing to undermine election integrity ahead of the most important election of our lifetimes.
– FIRST: Deep-blue cities like DC made it LEGAL for non-U.S. citizens to vote in local elections.
– THEN: Joe Biden SUED red states for enforcing voter identification laws.
– NOW: Democrats are filing LEGAL ACTION to gut strong election integrity measures in the swing state of NC.
Last time the Democrats were in power, they attempted to fast-track an election-rigging scheme that would have irreparably undermined the security of our elections. They used our tax dollars to fund their campaigns, federalize our elections, and destroy voter ID laws NATIONWIDE. They called their election-rigging scheme HR 1…to prevent Conservatives from winning elections was their FIRST PRIORITY when they controlled the House. If they think the American People are willing to turn a blind eye to this critical issue, it would only empower them to push harder. It is time for every Conservative in America to insist that we FEDERALLY MANDATE voter ID laws.
The House of Representatives did its job! Pray and contact your Senators in Congress to get it done…NOW!
Peggy (CA) there is an appropriations bill coming up in September and President Trump said this should
be attached to it. She also suggested we all write President Trump about the National Day of Repentance.
President Trump posted: “REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS SHOULD ATTACH THE VERY IMPORTANT SAVE ACT TO THE NEXT CONTINUING RESOLUTION. STOP THE STEAL, GUARD THE VOTE. LET THE DEMOCRATS TRY TO EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE AGAINST THIS – NOT DOABLE!!!” DJT
We prayed corporately into this and then offered individual prayers:
Danielle (SC) prayed for righteousness to prevail
Diane (MT) prayed for those in Congress, to have the heart to rise up and take the responsibility they have been given
Bev (MT) kept hearing “I AM THAT I AM!” Those who want to lie, or compromise KNOW that they are in
error and repent. Let the Lion of Judah ROAR over DC and let there be NO MORE COMPROMISE!
Audrey (CA) read 1 Timothy 2:1-4 “Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks be made for all men, for kings and all who are in authority, that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and reverence. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.”
Ps Ioan said that the passage of this SAVE ACT followed what was done on the 4th of July in DC. The influence of that spirit that was controlling DC was removed and now its structure is coming down. Praise God! He said we must now come together in national repentance! Without it, there will be no future for the USA! He prayed in gratitude for all that the Lord is doing throughout the land…and all He’ll do at the GOP Convention!
Sherrill (TX) I agree with that prayer and I say “YES and AMEN!”
Audrey (CA) she spoke about the transformational work he had done in Romania and thanked him for coming to the USA to see us transformed as well. She said that she considers Ps Ioan as her spiritual dad. Since the 4th of July, and our call for an NDP, a lot of things have been crumbling…and God is answering our prayers. You and Maureen are not only our spiritual parents, but you have also taught us much!
Ps Ioan said that 2 days ago, there was a shift as he and David Clements spoke about how Elon Musk, who has 189 M followers, spoke out about election corruption! They rejoiced over that word getting out…no matter who proclaimed it!

Statements by President Trump
“I am looking very much forward to being in Milwaukee next week. The great people of Wisconsin will reward us for choosing their State for the Republican National Convention. From there, we go on to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! See you next week.”
~~~
“Crooked Joe begins his “Big Boy” Press Conference with, “I wouldn’t have picked Vice President Trump to be vice president, though I think she was not qualified to be president.” Great job, Joe!”
~~~
Responding to the statement by Prime Minister of Hungary, Viktor Orban (below with picture)
“Thank you Viktor. There must be PEACE, and quickly. Too many people have died in a war that should have never started! DJT”
We agreed with PM Orban and prayed corporately for President Trump as a true “peacemaker” in the world! He has the most powerful voice in the world and is the true leader of the world.
~~~
“Joe should immediately take a Cognitive Test, and I will go with him, and take one also. For the first time we’ll be a team, and do it for the good of the Country….And from now on, all Presidential candidates should be mandated to take a Cognitive Test and Aptitude Test, regardless of their age!!!”
~~~
“OBAMA AND BIDEN HATE EACH OTHER! OBAMA NEVER RESPECTED BIDEN, AND THOUGHT HE WAS DUMB, AND A TOTAL LIGHTWEIGHT. WILL BE AN INTERESTING COUPLE OF WEEKS. OBAMA WANTS HIM OUT, WANTS V.P. HARRIS IN!”
We prayed into all these statements”
Peter (FL) shared Phil 2:8-11 And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross. Therefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Bernadette (NY) turn this nation around Lord, we cry out to You for mercy and grace. Speak to President Trump, to Melania, and turn their hearts to You! Spare this nation!
Sharon (CA) if we are going to look for integrity, we must see the truth…we knew that Biden had dementia, but these people (Dems) had no scruples about that, and I would not underestimate what they are capable of. Money has gone to Iran, China is coming against Taiwan, and there are missiles aimed at our SE shore from Cuba. Take this man Biden out of office and let righteousness be restored,
Bev (MT) Isaiah 1:24-26 Therefore the Lord says, The Lord of hosts, the Mighty One of Israel, “Ah, I will rid Myself of My adversaries, And take vengeance on My enemies. I will turn My hand against you, And thoroughly purge away your dross, And take away all your alloy. I will restore your judges as at the first, And your counselors as at the beginning. Afterward, you shall be called the city of righteousness, the faithful city.” Zion shall be redeemed with justice and her penitents with righteousness.
Angela (CA) shared 2 Thessalonians 3:3 “But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one.” and Psalm 121 I will lift up my eyes to the hills—From whence comes my help? My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth. He will not allow your foot to be moved; He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep. The Lord is your keeper; The Lord is your shade at your right hand. The sun shall not strike you by day, Nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; He shall preserve your soul. The Lord shall preserve your going out and your coming in from this time forth, and even forevermore.
Audrey (CA) prayed Isaiah 41:10-13 “Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.’“Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish. You shall seek them and not find them— Those who contended with you.
Those who war against you Shall be as nothing, As a nonexistent thing. For I, the Lord your God, will hold your right hand, Saying to you, ‘Fear not, I will help you.’”
Bobby (WI) Shared Isaiah 26:9-10, 20-21 “With my soul I have desired You in the night, Yes, by my spirit within me I will seek You early; For when Your judgments are in the earth, The inhabitants of the world will learn righteousness. Let grace be shown to the wicked, Yet he will not learn righteousness; In the land of uprightness, he will deal unjustly, and will not behold the majesty of the Lord. and “Come, my people, enter your chambers, and shut your doors behind you; Hide yourself, as it were, for a little moment, Until the indignation is past. For behold, the Lord comes out of His place to punish the inhabitants of the earth for their iniquity; the earth will also disclose her blood, and will no more cover her slain.”
Audrey (CA) Jeremiah 15:19-21 “If you return, then I will bring you back; you shall stand before Me; If you take out the precious from the vile, you shall be as My mouth. Let them return to you, but you must not return to them. And I will make you to this people a fortified bronze wall; and they will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you; for I am with you to save you and deliver you,” says the Lord. “I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem you from the grip of the terrible.”
Turning to what took place on July 4th here in our nation, we heard their praise reports:
Carolann (NY) to share what took place at the Messianic Jewish Alliance Convention in PA over the 4th of July! She was elated to share that around 40 from the states and nations joined her in repenting, WTKOG and serving the notice of eviction to Molech and then agreeing with those in DC about restraining and evicting the rider on the white horse from DC! The people involved were so grateful to participate…it was lovely!
Rhonda (MT) several of them went to Helena, their state Capitol, and read the prayers in agreement with those in DC. They are fighting hard for MT now, as abortion has gone up 22% since Roe was overturned. MT is a “womb stare” and they want MT to take its rightful place!
Maureen prayed that the 22% abortion rate would go down and MT would truly be a womb for the nation!
Isaely (FL) it was such a great experience and I am so thankful to be able to participate in it.
Ps Ioan said he was so grateful that she could pray in Japanese!
Ps Ioan urged us to see the chart showing the structure of the HYDRA (Babylonian Star) from last week.
~~~
We paused as we do nightly, to pray for the J6ers just before 9 PM.
We prayed corporately and lifted up all who were accused, tried, and imprisoned unjustly…
and those with pending cases, such as President Trump, and others that are being persecuted!
Then, in solidarity with the J6ers, Carolann (NY) led us in singing the National Anthem.
Having prayed on-site for them in DC, we continue to stand with them and their families,
praying that they would be set free, return to their lives and loved ones,
and be compensated for the injustice they have suffered!
Let them be comforted and at peace in their cells tonight, knowing that God is near!
~~~
Ps Ioan said that he wanted to build on what Audrey said about moving by faith…and share that we as believers following the lead of the Spirit, move in a “Kairos” way – not “Chronos” (chronologically.) Under Communism in Romania, the children were removed from their homes and put in institutions! When the corrupt government fell, agencies tried to help the orphaned children by getting people to adopt them…but there were many. Ps Ioan was inspired to take up that mission. They shared with the board of WORLD VISION and they agreed. A call went out to all the churches to recognize this need and come together to repent and pray in unity in order to resolve this issue. Ps Ioan’s mentor Samuel Kamaleson, came to Bucharest and spoke about this. In June 2000, in the Main Hall of the Parliament Building, they held a 2-day meeting, during which they confessed the sin of the nation and repented before God and the people! There had been a drought – no rain for ages -and less than 2 hours after the meeting was completed, the rain came…and it rained for 2 weeks, watering the land. The news reported that God was healing the land! When asked what would come next, Ps Ioan said there would be another gathering to discuss how to proceed nationwide. When they came together for 4 days, they discussed what they needed to do, and the government took it up and began to work with the church…due to national repentance!
He now intends to challenge all the churches in the USA to deal with the issues of our children: abortion, mutilations, trafficking, suicide, et al. He reiterated again that there is not a reset for this nation without repentance! He exhorted us not to stop praying… for the UNITY of the BODY of CHRIST in the USA…and the repentance that MUST COME before God will heal our land! Here, as in Romania, the cries of the children are heard before God. It’s time for us to ACT!
We prayed corporately into what Ps Ioan shared.
Then Ps Ioan shared how believers in Romania had been so divided, but after that conference in November 2000, there were leaders from the Orthodox areas that went home and told their people that we all served the same God and must be reconciled with one another, across all the denominations! The love of Christ united them and there was no more rejection of each other. The impossible was made possible!
Repentance in unity is the prayer for the Church. Jesus said He gave us His GLORY for us to be in UNITY!
He doesn’t want to wait for something to happen in 2025…when he sees what is happening with Melania, hosting the LGBQ Log Cabin Republicans, it’s an affront to God! We, of the 24/7 family, as the children of God, must repent first, and they will follow!
Let us press in and move forward with that petition to the Lord for the UNITY of the Body of Christ in confessing the sin of the nation before God! We prayed corporately and then offered individual prayers.
Barb (WI) they were one of the families in the USA who adopted a child from Romania. She thanked Ps Ioan for the encouragement and will be returning to Romania to help set up a pro-life ministry there. She wrote a book STAND BY FOR GOD about their journey! (It’s on AMAZON.) She lives an hour from Milwaukie and will be praying for them.
Brad (DC) he was at the RETURN and saw the disunity of those who came, noting that instead of praying, they were just talking as they walked. SAD!
Bernadette (NY) prayed that God would move in all congregations where homosexual behavior is affirmed. Bring them to attention and remove those who support the things that are an affront to God!
~~~
Ps Ioan shared that the American Samoan delegation has accepted Ps Ioan and David Clements as part of their delegation to the GOP Convention. We pray that the fear of God will come upon all gathered there, and that the Convention will end in repentance…and the Lord will come and intervene. We pray for protection as they travel and for all those who are participating! The battle is engaged…and it’s the Lord’s!
Barb (WI) welcomed them to Milwaukee and to WI and prayed for them.
We were delighted to learn that Joe Oltmann has received his credentials for the GOP as well! PTL!
We shared in communion, then closed singing “SHABBAT SHALOM!”
With our love and blessings.
Pastor Ioan and Maureen
