Wednesday, June 22, 2022 – 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!
“Through the Lord’s mercies we are not consumed,
Because His compassions fail not. They are new every morning;
Great is Your faithfulness.”
Lamentations 3:22-23
We sing: He’s Been Faithful
In my moments of fear, through every pain, every tear, there’s a God who’s been faithful to me.
When my strength was all gone, when my heart had no song, still in love, He’s proved faithful to me.
Every word He’s promised is true. What I thought was impossible, I’ve seen my God do.
He’s been faithful, faithful to me! Looking back, His love and mercy I see
Though in my heart, I have questioned and failed to believe, He’s been faithful, faithful to me.
When my heart looked away, the many times I could not pray, still my God was faithful to me.
The days are spent so selfishly, reaching out for what pleased me, even then God was faithful to me.
Every time I come back to Him, He is waiting with open arms and I see once again
He’s been faithful, faithful to me! Looking back, His love and mercy I see
Though in my heart, I have questioned and failed to believe, He’s been faithful, faithful to me.
In my heart, I have questioned and failed to believe, He’s been faithful, faithful to me!

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.

The Doctrine of the Lesser Magistrates,
A PROPER RESISTANCE TO TYRANNY AND A REPUDIATION OF UNLIMITED OBEDIENCE TO CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
THE DUTY OF LESSER MAGISTRATES – CHAPTER 4
Duty is a word not often mentioned in our nation today. Expediency prevails. The path of least resistance is the path that most follow in our day, whether in private or public life. Commitment is a virtue long lost on Americans. Just consider the divorce rate if you doubt this.
Duty is that which a person owes to another, or by which a person is bound to another, by any natural, moral, or lawful obligation to perform. Duty is any action required by one’s position or by moral or lawful considerations. Pray.
A magistrate is a person clothed with power as a public civil officer – whether executive, legislative, or judicial. As the title implies, a lesser magistrate is one who possesses less power than a higher magistrate. For example, a county executive possesses less authority than a state governor. The position of the lesser magistrate can be obtained by election or by appointment.
The primary duty of the lesser magistrates regarding the doctrine of the lesser magistrates is threefold.
- First, they are to oppose and resist any laws or edicts from the higher authority that contravene the law or Word of God.
- Second, they are to protect the person, liberty, and property of those who reside within their jurisdiction from any unjust or immoral laws or actions by the higher authority.
- Third, they are not to implement any laws or decrees made by the higher authority that violate the Constitution, and if necessary, resist them. Pray.
They cannot hide behind the excuse “I’m just doing my job” or “I’m just following the law of the land” as an attempt to escape their duty. The duty of the lesser magistrate is to uphold that which is right in the sight of God and to protect the people where his local authority or function resides. This is a sacred duty. We define it as sacred because it is founded in Scripture and proceeds from God. Pray.
When we speak of lesser magistrates, we are usually talking about a more local authority. Whatever the local authority may be, its jurisdiction is smaller than the higher authority that legislates an unjust or immoral decree. Whether a governor or a state legislature standing in defiance of the President or Congress or the Supreme Court, or whether a mayor or city council standing in defiance of the governor or Congress or state legislature, the authority of the lesser magistrate is more local than the higher magistrate.
Lesser magistrates are not to just unquestioningly do the bidding of the higher authority. State governments, for example, were never intended to be mere conduits or implementation centers for Federal government regulation, law, and policy as they have become today. Pray.
Hebert Schlossberg speaks to this point in his magnum opus, Idols for Destruction. He says regarding the lesser magistrates: “The framers of the American Constitution were conscious of the excesses to which centralized political systems were prone, and their solution was to devise multiple levels of authority. The existence of states, cities, counties, townships, and independent taxing authorities, which, to apologists for the state, has been a messy derogation from beneficent centralized power, has saved us from some of the assaults on freedom that others have suffered.” Pray.
Schlossberg points out, however, that in our day, these “intermediate institutions, which formerly served to check the central power, have largely atrophied.” He later concludes: “After three-quarters of a century, the new nationalism has borne bitter fruit. People who have despised the right of localities to govern themselves have delivered them into the hands of federal masters. Local politicians have acquiesced in the mugging of the provinces because in return for giving up political authority they have received monetary benefits.” Pray.
In other words, with the shekels come the shackles. The Federal master has bought the lesser magistrates off so they more readily do its bidding, rather than the peoples. The lesser authorities become mere implementation centers of Federal policy.
The lesser magistrates in America today need to be reminded that a magistrate who upholds or follows an unjust or immoral law becomes complicit in the higher authorities’ rebellion against God. Salisbury rightly declared in Policraticus: “Loyal shoulders should sustain the power of the ruler so long as it is exercised in subjection to God and follows His ordinances; but if it resists and opposes the divine commandments, and wishes to make me share in its war against God, then with unrestrained voice, I answer back that God must be preferred before any man on earth. “ Pray.
The resistance offered by lesser magistrates is wise and proper. Peasant revolts are easily put down by governments and suppressed. They lack the cohesion and order necessary to offer a successful resistance to tyranny by an organized central power.
The following list demonstrates why resistance by lesser magistrates is wise and necessary to turn back acts of tyranny by the higher authority:
1) Lesser magistrates already possess lawful, God-given authority which they may invoke. Pray.
2) Lesser magistrates have been supported by many in their successful bid to achieve office; therefore they have an established power base of popular support already in place. Pray.
3) Lesser magistrates usually have constitutional precedent and law on their side; so that, in other words, there is some heritage or history to which they can appeal. Pray.
4) Lesser magistrates already have access to a public forum by which they can articulate the particulars of the grievances involved. Pray.
5) Lesser magistrates, by virtue of their office, are able to address the pangs of conscience, doubt, and indecision of the people when they see tyranny developing in their nation and see the need for resistance. People respond to honorable and authoritative leadership, so they recognize the lesser magistrates’ God-given authority to resist unjust and immoral law and can rally behind them. Pray.
6) Lesser magistrates can provide relief and refuge, protection and support for the distressed more readily than can ordinary individuals, becoming, by their office, an instrument of temporal deliverance/salvation for the distressed. This is institutionalized deliverance, a theme reiterated in Scripture repeatedly. Pray.
7) Lesser magistrates can strike terror into the hearts of oppressors, flushing them out into the open and exposing them for promoting what is evil; even as they attack the lesser magistrate’s position in office, and further their injustice. Pray.
8) Lesser magistrates have the best chance of resolving injustice without upheaval or bloodshed. A tyrannical government is less anxious to push their oppression if they know that the opposition has the proper leadership and order of lesser magistrates. When the lesser magistrates refuse to comply with unjust or immoral law, the matter can often be resolved in favor of what is right without armed revolution or bloodshed being necessary. Pray.
9) God declares a willingness to support such magistrates in their capacity and office, as they represent what God instituted government to be – a picture of true justice to the culture and citizenry at large and an empowered and proper deliverance against the onslaughts of oppression and evil. Such a position gives people hope and a foundation upon which to erect a just and upright system of constitutional protections and proper “due process” of law as bulwarks against tyranny. Pray.
Lesser magistrates, by virtue of their office, constitute lawful authority. When the lesser magistrate stands against unjust or immoral law made by a superior, his actions benefit those under his jurisdiction, as well as the nation as a whole. Simply put, the lesser magistrates provide order when the superior authority acts unjustly or immorally and its abuse of power needs to be quelled.
We pray:
- Lord, we thank You for those who understand the concept of DUTY! Let them willingly rise up to “stand in the gap”, as Lesser Magistrates in the Battle to SAVE America! Pray.
- Protect those who step up to take on this assignment. Give them abundant grace and favor as they rise up to address the grievous matters affecting our nation in the coming days. Pray.
- Let local officials and County Commissioners grasp the truth of what took place in 2020, and enter into the process of exposing and rectifying fraud in our election process! Pray.
- Guard and protect our 24/7 family with the Blood of Jesus, as we engage with and undergird patriots across this land who are “standing in the gap”, in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! Pray.
- Call Donald Trump forth and guide him in his preparations to return to the White House. Pray.
- Protect our Supreme Court Justices and their families. Help them to stand for righteousness and justice, and to remain firm in their decision to return the determination on LIFE to the individual states! Pray.
- Protect the sovereignty of the United States of America and do not let it be compromised in any way! Remove Biden and all those who have betrayed our Constitution and sold us out! Pray.
- Let our homes get in order so that they might be places for Your HABITATION and sanctuaries for others! Pray.
- That we will joyfully release the LOVE of GOD from our hearts over this, our beloved nation. Pray.
