Thursday, July 9, 2026 – 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!
“I will make of you a great nation,
and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing.”
Genesis 12:2
We sing: God Bless the USA
If tomorrow all the things were gone I worked for all my life,
and I had to start again with just my children and my wife,
I thank my lucky stars to be living here today,
’cause the flag still stands for freedom and they can’t take that away.
And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free,
and I won’t forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend Her still today,
’cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land…
God Bless the U.S.A.
From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee,
across the plains of Texas from sea to shining sea.
From Detroit down to Houston and New York to L.A.,
there’s pride in every American heart and it’s time we stand and say:
That I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free,
and I won’t forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend Her still today,
’cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land…
God Bless the U.S.A.
And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free,
and I won’t forget the men who died who gave that right to me,
And I’d gladly stand up next to you and defend Her still today,
’cause there ain’t no doubt I love this land…
God Bless the U.S.A.

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 President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for his protection and ask that 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 God has anointed and appointed to be elected and work together,
cleaning up corruption and restoring election integrity,
so righteousness will prevail in every race in 2026.
Bring the SCOTUS Justices into alignment with God’s purposes in making their decisions!
Protect all the members of the Trump Administration,
especially the Cabinet, military, law enforcement agencies, such as ICE, FBI, and CBP.
Pray.
For God’s blessing and intervention in the life of Joe Hoft
and for miraculous resolutions to his pending matters!
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump,
focusing our prayers against any assassination attempts, demonic attacks against him, and
healing of those impacted by TRUMP DERANGEMENT SYNDROME.
Let him remain in good health, so he can serve his entire 4-year term as our 47th US President!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ENGAGING IN A WARFARE OF LOVE, PRAYING FOR THE SALVATION OF OUR NATION
AND THE RESTORATION OF OUR FOUNDING PRINCIPLES – PART 534
“May the Lord give strength to His people! May the Lord bless His people with peace!”
Psalm 29:11
Remarks by President Trump on the 4th of July – Part 2
President Trump spoke to the nation as we celebrated the United States’ 250th birthday. As we continue to review and pray into his speech, may we be inspired and encouraged that THE BEST IS YET TO COME!
“Together, we are reasserting the truth that American strength and power is not something to be ashamed of. It is something that we are very, very proud of. This country has been the greatest force for peace and justice on earth in the last century. We defeated tyrants, demolished evil, and saved freedom again and again and again.
Ken Schubring was 19 years old when he survived the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. After enemy planes sank ships like the USS Arizona, he resolved that he would help America strike back and win. Flying B-29s in the Pacific, Ken fought from the first day to the very last…all the way to the enemy’s unconditional surrender. He’s here, at 104 years old, looking really good tonight, saluting the flag that went down with the Arizona at Pearl Harbor, but was raised back up with the help of some unbelievable American patriots. It’s a symbol of American defiance. Great job. Thank you very much.
On D-Day in WWII, Navy Lieutenant Arthur Rose commanded 36 landing craft as part of the largest naval armada in history. He wrote home to his parents. “What a country we are.” At 107 years old, Lieutenant Rose is here to salute one of our nation’s most prized possessions. The flag that flew aboard the first landing craft on D-Day and led the first Americans onto the beaches of Normandy, to liberate Europe and defeat Nazi fascism forever. Lieutenant Rose, you are an inspiration to this beautiful crowd and we thank you.
On Iwo Jima in the Pacific, the Marines faced some of the most brutal combat in the history of warfare. They shed their blood for every inch of mountain that they reached. And when they reached the summit and raised the stars and stripes for all to see, it was so special to everybody there and everybody watching. Today, one of the last survivors of that battle,101-year-old Marine Corporal Don Graves, is here to salute that famous flag he saw rise in the glory of Iwo Jima, 81 years ago.
So, ladies and gentlemen, these are the fighters and the banners of the Greatest Generation. They saved the world, and they made America very, very proud. We’re proud of you, heroes all. Pray.
After we vanquished fascism, Americans stood against the evil of communism in the Cold War. As I said last night, at beautiful Mount Rushmore, where Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt loomed over my shoulder as I spoke: “America will never be a communist country.” (Won’t happen.) Communism is a loser, and it always will be. It is the opposite of the American system, and has never worked. Our warriors did not fight communism on battlefields across the world, only to have that menace rear its ugly head right back here in America. We’re not going to let it happen. We will stop a threat like that immediately…before it begins. It’s like a cancer; you’ve got to cut it out …fast. Tonight, we proudly thank veterans of the war on communism, including Marine Corporal Pat Finn and Private First Class Rudy Meekins, who fought at the famed Battle of Chosin Reservoir in Korea. Pat fought in hand-to-hand combat with the enemy, with five against him, and as you can see, he’s around to talk about it. Rudy was wounded four times but never stopped shooting and moving forward. Also with us is veteran Sonny Ray, who fought heroically against an enemy force ten times his unit’s size and earned a tremendously deserved Silver Star. Tonight, they salute one of the very first SO-star flags to fly above the field of battle. Right next to it is one of the last flags from Checkpoint Charlie, a very famous place on the Berlin Wall where American freedom finally brought communism crashing down to an end. Thank you so much. The Stars and Stripes cast the hammer and sickle into oblivion before, and we will do it again if necessary. Gentlemen, I want to thank you very much. You’re amazing men. What an honor it is to be with them. (Think of it. 107. That’s up there, but hopefully he’s got 20 good years left.) Pray.
Through the generations, Americans have never stopped striving to lift humanity to new heights. In 1903, the Wright brothers from Ohio fulfilled the age-old dream of mankind to fly. Within 66 years of inventing the airplane, Americans planted our flag on the moon. Just three months ago, we sent American astronauts back to the far side of the moon, and this time, they flew further from Earth than anyone has ever flown before. Tonight, we’re joined by that crew of NASA. Artemis. They became very famous; everybody watched. They got the attention of everybody. Along with them is the last man to walk on the moon, Apollo 17 astronaut Jack Schmitt. These champions of flight stand this evening beside the flag flown on the Wright brothers’ airplane piloted by Orville Wright…the exact flag. (They told me today they were really amazed to be here with that flag. That’s a very special flag, if you’re in the world of flying aircraft.) I have a special gift for these patriots. This morning on America’s 250th birthday, a new flag was flown above the United States Capitol. Tonight, I present it to you to be planted by American astronauts on their upcoming return to the moon. And in addition to that, I gave them and all of the great heroes that you saw up on stage tonight a very special medal from the white House. We’re going to be going to Mars very soon. And we’re going to do the moon, and we’re going to go from there. We did Space Force. That was something I was very proud of, and now it’s one of the most important things that we’ve done. We were losing to China and to Russia in space. Now, we’re leading them by giant steps. And it’s people like you that made it happen. As we celebrate America’s unmatched achievements and unlimited potential, we never forget that none of this would have been possible without those who gave everything so that we could reach this 250th year of freedom. We are honored to be joined by 11 Gold Star family members. There’s nothing tougher than that. But these are amazing people. They went through a lot, and that special person is up there and looking down at mom and dad, husband, wife, with great pride. You know that. We have beautiful medals for you, for your family from the White House. On this special 4th of July. We give you our undying gratitude and promise to redeem the sacrifice of your heroes by preserving the America that they love. They loved our country. They sacrificed it all, and these people have sacrificed it all. They’ve been through Hell. We love you. Thank you very much. Pray.
From 1776 to today, everywhere the American flag has flown. It has been a symbol of strength, righteousness, and hope, because that is who Americans are. In 1944, a mother and her daughter huddled in their house in Nazi-occupied Belgium and prayed desperately for their country to be freed. As they waited, they found scraps of fabric and stitched together a homemade American flag. On the day they were finally liberated, they gave it to an American soldier as a gift. That soldier’s great-grandfather was none other than the author of our Star-Spangled Banner, Francis Scott Key. Tonight, the next generation of the Key family is with us. Major Kyle Key has spent 23 years in the US Army. This evening, he proudly salutes the old flag that was made by the Belgian woman who knew that America means hope and freedom. In conclusion, from a Declaration in Philadelphia to victory at Yorktown, from the bustling factories of the heartland to the towering snowcapped summits of Alaska, from the endless frontier of the open wild west to the magnificent sand dunes at Kitty Hawk, from the glimmering skyline of Manhattan to the far side of the moon, and from the now safe and beautiful capital of Washington, D.C. to the gleaming waters of the Gulf of America. There is no challenge Americans cannot overcome…no place we cannot go…no goal we cannot reach, and there is nothing that Americans cannot do. We’re proving that right now. Our stock market is the strongest it’s ever been; we have $19.2 trillion being invested in our country (six times more than ever before); we’re building more factories in the United States than ever before, and more people are working today in the United States than any time in the history of our country. Pray.
In this country, we can achieve the wildest, most impossible dreams…and no dream in history is bigger or more incredible than the one that started on July 4th, 1776. The war for independence was launched by Minutemen, farmers, blacksmiths, tradesmen who took up their muskets against the mightiest army on earth, the most powerful, unbeatable army…until they met us. No one made them do it. They fought because they knew that a free people must have a free country. Over 250 years, mighty nations and terrible tyrants came and went, but this American republic still stands tall and strong…and we love each other. This American flag still waves, proud and free and beautiful. We have thrived and flourished because our Founders were great, our cause was just, our people are brave, our culture is exceptional, and our destiny is written by God. After 250 years, the spirit of 1776 still lives within us all. It still roars in the hearts of our nation’s capital, burns in the heart of every patriot, thunders through every city and town. And it still lights the entire world with the glow of American liberty. At 250 years old, we may be the oldest constitutional republic on earth, but our country is just getting started because the best is yet to come. This is only the dawn of the Golden Age of America. On this 250th 4th of July, we declare, just as they did two and a half centuries ago, that for our country and for our children and for the cause of liberty, we are going to take our country to new levels, to levels not reached. We’re going to make it bigger, better, stronger, and we’re going to love it even more. Lightning will never stop you. I want to thank everybody. We love you all. It’s an honor to be your President. Thank you. God bless you all.” Pray.
We pray:
May our youth in the United States begin to hunger and thirst to know their history and their God, learning how He brought forth this nation conceived in liberty and sustained it for 250 years. Pray.
That the lies, manipulations, and evil agendas perpetrated against President Trump will fall to the ground and be as nothing, and Trump Derangement Syndrome will be utterly vanquished… once and for all. 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, strengthen, and cover our 24/7 family in the Blood of Jesus. Bring in mature Christian men and women, and call the younger generation to this assignment with us, as we pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
