Jun 27, 2025 – Notes Shabbat Call

06-27-25 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration” 

24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call

As we come together tonight for our Shabbat Call, the ceasefire negotiated between Israel and Iran has continued to hold! The world is breathing easier, with the threat of nuclear war averted. For this we give God thanks and praise, and pray that soon the two countries will be able to move forward to reach a final peace agreement.

The date of JUNE 24th will long be remembered as a day of freedom! 

On that date, Roe vs Wade was overturned (2023) 

and the Israel / Iran Ceasefire was announced (2025).

~~~

Let us receive the Ephesians 6 “armor of God,” as we prepare to engage in the BATTLE OF THE BRIDE…

A WARFARE OF LOVE on behalf of our President and nation! Albert (CA) led us in this prayer.

 “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 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, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints.“

Ephesians 6:10-18

We prayed, asking that we would wear this armor with the grace and dignity it truly deserves!

Ps Ioan said that it has been 3 weeks since he received a challenge from the Lord about being HIS FRIENDS. He has been pondering what it means to be a friend of Jesus. He continued with this sharing as we began the call tonight, and put his notes below for us to peruse. He reminded us that in John 15:13, Jesus said that “Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.“ When we confess that He died for us (His friends), it is proof of His love for us! In vs 14, He tells us that “You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.” Our obedience is pleasing to Him! This friendship is pure and not forced, and as we continue to nourish that friendship, as we talk with and communicate with Him, we grow in our love for and trust in Him! Ps Ioan suggested that we share the “concerns of our souls” with Him, and ask Him to deal with them! As we do, this will cultivate our friendship with Him and with our brothers and sisters in Christ! His final words on this were that as we enter this phase of the 24/7 ministry, we will be HIS FRIENDS, and grow together in that love.

John 15: 1-17

1 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 

2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 

3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 

4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me.

5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. 

6 If anyone does not abide in Me, he is cast out as a branch and is withered; and they gather them and throw them into the fire, and they are burned. 

7 If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. 

8 By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples.

9 “As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you; abide in My love. 

10 If you keep My commandments, you will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father’s commandments and abide in His love.

11 “These things I have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy may be full. 

12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 

13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. 

14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you. 

15 No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you. 

16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Father in My name He may give you. 

17 These things I command you, that you love one another.”

When a sinner believes in his heart that Jesus died on the cross for him and confesses with his mouth that Jesus is his Lord, he proclaims that Jesus loves him with the greatest love and that Jesus considers him His friend. Believing the Word of God and the testimony of the Holy Spirit, we become friends with Jesus not by deeds but by faith. After we realize the reality of friendship with Jesus, we want to do only what is pleasing to Him. We want to hear His voice continually and fulfill His desires. That means to maintain the relationship of friendship with Him. Listening and doing what our Good Friend is asking us to do proves that we care and want to increase our friendship with him. Doing whatever He commands us is normal in a friendship. He encourages us to ask Him all the time what we need, in prayers and supplications. We are friends with Jesus individually, so we must be friends with one another.

~~~

Ps Ioan also mentioned a visit by his brother Titus, and the Bible study they did together on LIVING WATER!

(He will share more on that during another call!) 

~~~

Ps Ioan shared that when his son Filip was less than 1 year old, and in New York, preparing to have surgery for glaucoma, Ps Ioan received word that the job he had been counting on was given to someone else. In that time of trial, he was devastated. As he reflected on his life, he was forced to recognize that he was a workaholic and needed to spend time with the Lord! He heard the Lord tell him that intimacy with him was all that He wanted! A pastor from Peru called and told him that Filip is healed, and when he spoke to Meruna (his wife and Filip’s mother), she told him that the doctors refused to operate on Filip, and when he was checked, they found he had been healed! All this has been leading to the message he is sharing today…to do all we do out of friendship for Him! 

As we prayed corporately, we were invited to talk to the Lord, our BEST FRIEND, and share our hearts with Him!

We closed this portion of our SHABBAT CALL singing our gratitude to Him! 

Thank You, Lord! 

Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord! I just want to thank You, Lord!

Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord! I just want to thank You, Lord!

We shared reflections/feedback on what we have just heard:

Rosanna (ME) said “that was so beautiful” and that it reminded her that those who were in Jesus’ inner circle KNEW HIM PERSONALLY…INTIMATELY…and loved Him for Who He was! 

Mary Ellen (IL) re: friends, over time, I came to know how He speaks to me…and I say: “Speak, Lord, Your servant is listening. Tell me what You want me to do!” And He does, and He directs me…and I saw how whatever happened, He had a better plan for me! He’s my friend!

Ps Ioan said we don’t need to ask, but rather in friendship, share our burdens with Him!

Peter (FL) I totally identify with this. You spend time with a friend to cultivate friendship! We just had a group that spent 10 days in an UPPER ROOM, doing just that. Divorces were called off, people came to the Lord and they were all thrilled at the new level they went to! Matthew 26:40 “Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?” 

Kay (IL) years ago, Ps. Larry Lea wrote a book called COULD YOU NOT TARRY ONE HOUR? It was about praying. for one hour, into the Lord’s prayer. 

Rosanna (ME) That hour seems to go so quickly, and there is a variety of things I do…worship, praying as He leads, writing in a journal, et al. How great and mighty He is! 

Bobby (WI) it’s about the time you spend with someone…it develops closeness. You can communicate, even with a glance! A friend knows intimate things about you, and they can do and say things others can’t…and it’s OK! I had a “touch” from Him with brown clothing (on sale in my size!) and knew I could depend on Him!

Bev (MT) Shared a song: “Have Thine Own Way, Lord!” 

Maureen said it seemed hard to leave this type of sharing and transition to the normal intercession we do on this call. 

Angela (CA) while in a Mall in Arcadia, CA, the Lord told her to take a walk. She met a homeless girl, who didn’t want to hear about the Lord…but Angela heard that “The people who stole from and hurt her (Mormons) said they were His friends.” Angela was able to minister to her and make her understand that was not the way Jesus operated…and that He loved her and would never be a part of something like that! 

~~~

Maureen said, as a transition, we might want to write to our friend and dear brother Justice, who is in a program called TOTAL FREEDOM in NY. He wrote to Maureen and shared how things were going, saying that the location was beautiful, and the program was so encouraging! He asked for prayer for his wife, Robyn, and said he missed the call and is praying for us! If you are led to write to him, please do! It will surely be a blessing! His address is:

Justice Redhawk

Darren Center, NY 14040

~~~

We transitioned to the next portion of tonight’s call! 

President Trump has said that he is holding off on his plans to remove sanctions against Iran after Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s “victory” speech yesterday, in which he declared that President Trump had “exaggerated” the impact of strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, and threatened to repeat the “slap” Tehran had dealt American forces in the region. Blasting Khamenei for his “blatant and foolish” statement, President Trump posted:

“Why would the so-called “Supreme Leader,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, of the war torn Country of Iran, say so blatantly and foolishly that he won the War with Israel, when he knows his statement is a lie, it is not so. As a man of great faith, he is not supposed to lie. His Country was decimated, his three evil Nuclear Sites were OBLITERATED,  and I knew EXACTLY where he was sheltered, and would not let Israel, or the U.S. Armed Forces, by far the Greatest and Most Powerful in the World, terminate his life. I SAVED HIM FROM A VERY UGLY AND IGNOMINIOUS DEATH, and he does not have to say, “THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP!” In fact, in the final act of the War, I demanded that Israel bring back a very large group of planes, which were heading directly to Tehran, looking for a big day, perhaps the final knockout! Tremendous damage would have ensued, and many Iranians would have been killed. It was going to be the biggest attack of the War, by far. During the last few days, I was working on the possible removal of sanctions, and other things, which would have given a much better chance to Iran at a full, fast, and complete recovery – 

The sanctions are BITING! 

But no, instead I get hit with a statement of anger, hatred, and disgust, and immediately dropped all work on sanction relief, and more. Iran has to get back into the World Order flow, or things will only get worse for them. They are always so angry, hostile, and unhappy, and look at what it has gotten them – A burned out, blown up Country, with no future, a decimated Military, a horrible Economy, and DEATH all around them. They have no hope, and it will only get worse! I wish the leadership of Iran would realize that you often get more with HONEY than you do with VINEGAR. PEACE!!!”

~~~

Only President Trump stood on the right side of history. 

The others “fed the beast” with billions of US taxpayer dollars…especially Obama!

We prayed for President Trump, and thanked God for the ceasefire that is holding. We also lifted Iran to the Lord and asked that He bring an end to this evil regime and bring forth freedom for the people of Iran! 

Dorothy (OR) a few weeks ago, for the first time, she was led to pray for the spiritual leaders of Islam…and thanked God for the words God has given President Trump and how he values life! Let his words bring conviction to Khamenei and let him turn from the evil he is doing!

Supreme Court Limits Federal Judges from Blocking Executive Actions Nationwide

Our brother, Joe Hoft, of The Gateway Pundit, wrote: The Supreme Court finally got something right. This was a no-brainer that should have been ruled on months ago. All Americans knew that the radical Obama and Biden judges ruling against Executive actions can’t rule for the entire country. Even Amy Coney Barrett was on the right side of the Constitution on this one. The court’s 6-3 decision, with all six GOP-appointed justices in the majority, is a significant setback for those pursuing legal challenges to President Donald Trump’s executive orders and other actions, many of which have been blocked or temporarily put on hold by nationwide or universal, injunctions, prohibiting the government from enforcing a law, rule, or policy across the United States, not simply against the individual parties engaged in the litigation or in the districts where they are granted. In other words, federal district courts can no longer issue national injunctions affecting everyone! YAY! 

After these big Supreme Court wins today. President Trump held a press conference in which he applauded the decision which sided with his administration, ruling that federal district courts lack the constitutional or statutory authority to issue so-called ‘universal injunctions’ (sweeping orders that block government policies nationwide, often at the request of left-wing advocacy groups.)

“GIANT WIN in the United States Supreme Court! 

Even the Birthright Citizenship Hoax has been, indirectly, hit hard. 

It had to do with the babies of slaves (same year!), not the SCAMMING of our Immigration process. Congratulations to Attorney General Pam Bondi, Solicitor General John Sauer, and the entire DOJ.” 

The birthright citizenship ban has not actually been decided and will most likely be litigated. The ruling was that the nationwide injunctions are unconstitutional, but they did not rule specifically on the constitutionality of the birthright ban, which will stay in place until that matter is adjudicated. For the moment, the Trump administration will no longer grant automatic citizenship to everyone born on American soil. 

SCOTUS allowed Donald Trump’s executive order to end birthright citizenship to go into effect in a month’s time, while leaving room for lower courts to curb the impact on those who have standing to sue. States traditionally handle processing birth certificates, and many do not record the citizenship of the parents. Democratic-run state governments will be in no rush to do so, no matter what the Trump administration may desire. Justice Amy Coney Barrett, writing for the majority, left the door open for states to make the case that a broader block on Trump’s birthright citizenship action is necessary. That sets up big legal battles to come. 

We prayed corporately that this false “birthright” is ultimately defeated. 

Paulette (MO) Lord, You have pulled the plug on these unjust judges…and put a stop to it! 

Ydia (FL) It makes no sense that one judge would dare to countermand the President’s authorized orders! 

~~~

Just before 9 PM, we paused to remember all who were and still are J6 prisoners.

We continue to stand with them and their families until we see them free, 

returned to their lives and loved ones, and compensated for the injustices they have suffered! 

We then lifted our voices, singing the National Anthem from all across the nation.

~~~

We continued to pray:

Angela (CA) so many times, when the 14th Amendment was exploited, God was blamed…but she thanked President Trump for putting a stop to it! “The Lord has sworn by His right hand and by the arm of His strength: ‘Surely I will no longer give your grainAs food for your enemies; And the sons of the foreigner shall not drink your new wine, For which you have labored.” Isaiah 62:8 This birthright issue is a lie…a lying edict…and it has taken things from citizens while giving what is ours to illegals! Uproot the false citizenship!

Paulette (MO) Let us stand in the gap and ask forgiveness for allowing this to continue. We did not speak up and allowed the materialism to go on and on. Forgive us! Now work in every heart across this nation, and bring this to an end! Don’t let them be deceived. Let them repent and let Your righteousness prevail! 

Strengthen us and give us wisdom to look to you with hope! 

Ps Ioan asked: How many have come into the nation illegally?…20-30 M. So many of the illegals used this birthright issue to get their children citizenship, and even tourists have the baby here and then go home…but the child has gotten citizenship! 

~~~

Today, President Trump listed just a partial list of the policies that had been blocked by nationwide injunctions.

Ending birthright citizenship

Ending funding for sanctuary cities

Suspending refugee resettlement

Freezing unnecessary federal funding

Stopping taxpayer funds for trans surgeries

~~~

TWO MORE GREAT DECISIONS FROM SCOTUS: 

The Supreme Court has upheld a Texas law requiring age verification on pornographic websites, affirming Texas’s right to shield minors from the flood of pornographic content plaguing the internet. The decision in Free Speech Coalition, Inc. v. Paxton (2025) upholds H.B. 1181, requiring websites with substantial sexual content to verify users’ ages before granting access. The Court, in a 6-3 decision led by Justice Clarence Thomas, rejected the radical left’s claims that the law violates “free speech”. The majority rightly recognized that protecting kids from harmful, sexually explicit content is a compelling state interest — one that outweighs the complaints of adult entertainment peddlers. Texas’s law, which mandates age verification through government-issued ID or transactional data, was deemed a reasonable and tailored solution to a growing crisis. “No person—adult or child—has a First Amendment right to access speech that is obscene to minors without first submitting proof of age. The power to verify age is a necessary component of the power to prevent children’s access to content that is obscene from their perspective,” Thomas wrote, brushing aside arguments from far-left activists who falsely claimed the law burdens adults’ rights. He added that “H.B. 1181 simply adapts traditional age-verification requirements to the digital age.” Justice Thomas added that requiring age verification online is no different than proving age to purchase alcohol, firearms, or lottery tickets. “Obscenity is no exception,” the Court ruled.

We have been praying hourly for “PARENTAL CARE and CHRISTIAN LOVE for ALL CHILDREN!” and we are so blessed by this powerful ruling to protect our children! 

We noted 2 other rulings coming from SCOTUS: 

The first said that parents have the right to withdraw their children from any situations that are using LGBTQ propaganda…ie. the ruling allows parents to pull children from public school lessons that use LGBTQ storybooks.

In the second, SCOTUS slashed Planned Parenthood’s “Medicaid Lifeline” when it ruled yesterday that South Carolina need not fund Planned Parenthood. The 6-3 opinion was authored by Justice Gorsuch, with the concurrences of Roberts, Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Barrett (Thomas also filed a concurrence). Dissenting Justices: (as usual)… Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson.

Statement by President Trump regarding trade with Canada:

“We have just been informed that Canada, a very difficult Country to TRADE with, including the fact that they have charged our Farmers as much as 400% Tariffs, for years, on Dairy Products, has just announced that they are putting a Digital Services Tax on our American Technology Companies, which is a direct and blatant attack on our Country. They are obviously copying the European Union, which has done the same thing, and is currently under discussion with us, also. Based on this egregious Tax, we are hereby terminating ALL discussions on Trade with Canada, effective immediately. We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven-day period. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”

We prayed corporately, thanking God for the revival of our economy and the blessings that are coming from the tariffs that have been put in place! Help the other nations to enter into fair trade with us and let everyone be blessed by it!

The Democratic nominee for NYC Mayor

Radical Muslims do not come to America to save our principles and Judeo-Christian values…but to destroy them. 

They come to brainwash people who are not educated about Islam, with their lies to win their support. 

They engage in politics to occupy the most important positions 

and to conquer the country for a global Islamic power. 

They seek political power in order to open the door for other Muslims. 

They come to defeat and kick out our best leaders who care about America. 

Wake up, America!

Speaking in a mosque in NYC, Mamdani said: 

“There are 1 M Muslims in NY, of which 240K are Democrats! We must act together!” 

Maureen has been warned to watch out for “3M” (the Mormons, Muslims, and Masons). 

We prayed corporately into this, 

against this invasion by Islam into our political realm…and the Islamification of our nation. 

Take it down, Lord, and remove this false ideology from our midst!

~~~

Pray for PM Benjamin Netanyahu. The Jerusalem District Court rejected his request for a two-week hiatus in his “graft” trial after the State Attorney’s Office said it opposed the move. Justice Rivka Friedman-Feldman says the request, submitted by Netanyahu’s defense attorney Amit Hadad, “does not present a detailed basis or reason that might justify canceling evidentiary hearings.” Hadad had said that PM Netanyahu required the two-week break to devote his time to “diplomatic, national and security issues of the first order,” in the wake of the recent war with Iran, which ended Tuesday. (Israel and the US are reportedly working on plans for a comprehensive deal to end the war in Gaza and reach normalization agreements with further Arab countries.)

~~~

As we prepared to close tonight’s call, we prayed for the protection of our country and people. 

We stand in agreement with this Declaration by Dutch Sheets.

“We decree that America’s borders, electrical grid, water, and related structures, 

as well as individuals, 

are “painted” with the anointing oil of the Holy Spirit, and covered by the blood of Jesus.”

~~~

We shared in communion and then closed tonight’s call, singing ‘SHABBAT SHALOM!’

In His love, 

Maureen and Ps Ioan
