Saturday, June 12, 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!
“You, who once were alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works,
yet now He has reconciled in the body of His flesh through death,
to present you holy, and blameless, and above reproach in His sight.”
Colossians 1:21-22
We sing: I just Want To Be Where You Are
I just want to be where You are, dwelling daily in Your Presence.
I don’t want to worship from afar, draw me near to where You are.
I just want to be where You are, in Your dwelling place forever.
Take me to the place where You are, I just want to be with You.
I want to be where You are, dwelling in Your Presence,
feasting at Your table, surrounded by Your glory.
In Your Presence, that’s where I always want to be. I just want to be, I just want to be with You.
I just want to be where You are, dwelling daily in Your Presence.
I don’t want to worship from afar, draw me near to where You are.
O, my God You are my strength and my song,
and when I’m in Your Presence though I’m weak, You’re always strong.
I just want to be where You are, dwelling daily in Your Presence.
I don’t want to worship from afar, draw me near to where You are.
Take me to the place where You are, I just want to be with You. I just want to be…I just want to be with You!

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 Saturday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
The Battle for the Survival of the Nation! – Part 33
The President’s Advisory 1776 Commission Report – Part 12
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be filled.”
Matthew 5:6
Our Founders’ sacrifices were rooted and grounded in a hunger and thirst for righteousness that was clearly expressed in the way that they so valiantly fought for the liberties we enjoy today! They forged our Founding Documents, keeping in mind the generations of Americans that would follow them…and for that, we are deeply grateful! Pray.
A SCHOLARSHIP OF FREEDOM
Universities in the United States are often today hotbeds of anti-Americanism, libel, and censorship that combine to generate in students and in the broader culture, at the very least, disdain and at worst outright hatred for this country.
The Founders insisted that universities should be at the core of preserving American republicanism by instructing students and future leaders of its true basis and instilling in them not just an understanding, but a reverence for its principles and core documents. Today, our higher education system does almost the precise opposite. Colleges peddle resentment and contempt for American principles and history alike, in the process weakening attachment to our shared heritage. Pray.
In order to build up a healthy, united citizenry, scholars, students, and all Americans must reject false and fashionable ideologies that obscure facts, ignore historical context, and tell America’s story solely as one of oppression and victimhood, rather than one of imperfection, but also unprecedented achievement toward freedom, happiness, and fairness for all. Historical revisionism, that tramples honest scholarship and historical truth, shames Americans by highlighting only the sins of their ancestors, and teaches claims of systemic racism that can only be eliminated by more discrimination, is an ideology intended to manipulate opinions more than educate minds. Pray.
Deliberately destructive scholarship:
- shatters the civic bonds that unite all Americans;
- silences the discourse essential to a free society by breeding division, distrust, and hatred among citizens;
- is the intellectual force behind so much of the violence in our cities, suppression of free speech in our universities, and defamation of our treasured national statues and symbols.
To restore our society, academics must return to their vocation of relentlessly pursuing the truth and engaging in honest scholarship that seeks to understand the world and America’s place in it. Pray.
THE AMERICAN MIND
Americans yearn for timeless stories and noble heroes that inspire them to be good, brave, diligent, daring, generous, honest, and compassionate.
- Millions of Americans devour histories of the American Revolution and the Civil War and thrill to the tales of Washington, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Franklin, Lincoln and Grant, Sojourner Truth and Frederick Douglass.
- We still read the tales of Hawthorne and Melville, Twain and Poe, and the poems of Whitman and Dickinson.
- On Independence Day, we hum John Philip Sousa’s “Stars and Stripes Forever” and sing along to Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is Your Land.”
- Americans applaud the loyalty, love, and kindness shared by the March sisters in Little Women, revere the rugged liberty of the cowboys in old westerns, and cheer the adventurous spirit of young Tom Sawyer. These great works have withstood the test of time because they speak to eternal truths and embody the American spirit. Pray.
It is up to America’s artists, authors, filmmakers, musicians, social media influencers, and other culture leaders to carry on this tradition by once again giving shape and voice to America’s self-understanding—to be what Jefferson called “an expression of the American mind.”
To them falls the creative task of writing stories, songs, and scripts that help to restore every American’s conviction to embrace the good, lead virtuous lives, and act with an attitude of hope toward a better and bolder future for themselves, their families, and the entire nation. Pray.
REVERENCE FOR THE LAWS
The principles of equality and consent mean that all are equal before the law. No one is above the law, and no one is privileged to ignore the law, just as no one is outside the law in terms of its protection. Pray.
In his Lyceum Address, a young Abraham Lincoln warned of two results of a growing disregard for the rule of law. The first is mob rule: “whenever the vicious portion of [our] population shall be permitted to gather in bands of hundreds and thousands, and burn churches, ravage and rob provision stores, throw printing-presses into rivers, shoot editors, and hang and burn obnoxious persons at pleasure and with impunity, depend upon it, this government cannot last.” Pray.
But Lincoln also warned of those of great ambition who thirst for distinction and, although “he would as willingly, perhaps more so, acquire it by doing good as harm, yet, that opportunity being past, and nothing left to be done in the way of building up, he would set boldly to the task of pulling down.”
Whether of the Left or Right, both mob rule and tyrannical rule violate the rule of law because both are ruled by the base passions rather than the better angels of our nature. Both equally threaten our constitutional order. When crimes go unpunished or when good men do nothing, the lawless in spirit will become lawless in practice, leading to violence and demagoguery. Patriotic education must have at its center a respect for the rule of law, including the Declaration and the Constitution, so that we have what John Adams called “a government of laws, and not of men.” Pray.

In the end, Lincoln’s solution must be ours:
“Let every American, every lover of liberty, every well-wisher to his posterity, swear by the blood of the Revolution, never to violate in the least particular, the laws of the country; and never to tolerate their violation by others. As the patriots of seventy-six did to the support of the Declaration of Independence, so to the support of the Constitution and Laws, let every American pledge his life, his property, and his sacred honor; let every man remember that to violate the law, is to trample on the blood of his father, and to tear the character of his own, and his children’s liberty. Let reverence for the laws, be breathed by every American mother, to the lisping babe, that prattles on her lap – let it be taught in schools, in seminaries, and in colleges; let it be written in Primers, spelling books, and in Almanacs; let it be preached from the pulpit, proclaimed in legislative halls, and enforced in courts of justice.“ Pray.
”The primary society is in marriage itself; next ease the bond of parents with their children; then one home, with all things in common; this, then, is the principle element of one’s city and the kind of seminary of the Republic.” Cicero (Citing Cicero, American Founder James Wilson wrote: “it is the principle of the community; it is that seminary, on which the commonwealth, for its manners as well as for its numbers, must ultimately depend.”)
The civic object of higher education, according to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, is “to form the statesmen, legislators and judges, on whom public prosperity and individual happiness are so much to depend; to expound the principles and structure of government, the laws which regulate the intercourse of nations, those formed municipally for our own government, and a sound spirit of legislation, which, banishing all arbitrary and unnecessary restraint on individual action, shall leave us free to do whatever does not violate the equal rights of another.“
We pray:
- That You will instill in Americans an overwhelming and passionate perseverance, that will cause peoples to do what they must in order to protect our God-given freedoms, our families and our country! Pray.
- That there will be a resurgence in patriotism as the Spirit of the American Revolution stirs hearts and causes is to have a holy reverence for our founding principles and core documents. Pray.
- That President Trump will continue to speak about the love he has for his family, setting an example for our people, to care for and love their open families, and one another as citizens of this great nation! Pray.
- That he will set an “appointed place” and an “appointed time” for our meeting with him! Pray.
