Monday, June 28, 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!
“The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.
But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 15:56-57
We sing: Victory in Jesus
I heard an old, old story, how a Savior came from glory,
how He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me.
I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood’s atoning,
Then I repented of my sins and won the Victory.
Oh, Victory in Jesus, my Savior forever,
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming Blood,
He loved me ‘ere I knew Him and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to Victory beneath the cleansing flood.
I heard about His healing, of His cleansing power revealing,
how He made the lame to walk again and ’caused the blind to see.
And then I cried, “Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit,”
and somehow Jesus came, and brought to me the Victory.
Oh, Victory in Jesus, my Savior forever,
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming Blood,
He loved me ‘ere I knew Him and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to Victory beneath the cleansing flood.
Oh, Victory in Jesus, my Savior forever,
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming Blood,
He loved me ‘ere I knew Him and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to Victory beneath the cleansing flood.
He plunged me to Victory beneath the cleansing flood!

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 Monday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
The Activation of the Spirit of the American Revolution – Part 7
“Sow for yourselves righteousness; reap in mercy; break up your fallow ground,
For it is time to seek the Lord, ‘til He comes and rains righteousness on you.”
Hosea 10:12
We rejoice in that we have had an answer to an enormous amount of prayer, (along with coordinated efforts to communicate with all 100 US Senators on such a critical issue). The Senate Republicans succeeded in blocking sweeping legislation on election and campaign finance reforms being put forth by the Congressional Democrats. The so-called “For the People Act” needed 60 votes to clear a procedural vote in the Senate, but Republicans used the filibuster, (the Senate cloture rule which requires 60 votes to cut off debate on most measures) and killed the legislation. The Republicans’ actions prevented the most ambitious voting rights legislation to come before Congress in a generation from being enacted. That dealt a blow to Democrats’ attempts to counter a wave of state-level ballot restrictions… and supercharged a campaign to end the legislative filibuster. Pray.
The Dems had touted the bill as “crucial to ensuring voting rights and saving democracy”.. but the GOP blasted it as a “partisan power grab”. Not one Republican joined with the 50 Democrats on the motion to proceed. Pray.
Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) had said that the Republicans wouldn’t stand for Democrats’ attempting to impose new voting standards on states that would “rig” elections in the Dems favor! Praise God, he was right! He also called the nearly 900-page bill “rotten” to its core. Pray.
Republicans took issue with:
- imposing federal standards on state elections that they said would weaken state ID requirements;
- starting a new public financing system for congressional elections;
- politicizing the Federal Elections Commission that enforces campaign finance laws.
Pray.
Moderate Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) said she couldn’t support the “partisan federal takeover of the election system.” In a floor speech, she said she’d back elements of the bill and will co-sponsor the separate John Lewis Voting Rights Act, but can’t back Democrats’ “one-size-fits-all” reforms.
Democrats, who had the Biden administration on their side, “framed” the legislation as an “urgent priority” to “save democracy.” They accused members of the GOP of initiating efforts in state legislatures around the country to pass “voter suppression laws”…(ie. that would prevent them from continuing to lie and cheat in the next election)...after President Trump’s claimed widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election!
Voting rights have been such a “concern” for the White House that “faux VP” Kamala Harris presided over the debate on the Senate floor last Tuesday evening and then announced the failed 50-50 vote. Afterward, she said the White House is committed to ensuring access to the polls. “The fight is not over,” she told reporters.
“Your rulers are rebels, partners with thieves; they all love bribes and chase after gifts.
They do not defend the cause of the fatherless; the widow’s case does not come before them.”
Isaiah 1:23
Pray.
The stealthily titled “For the People Act” (H.R. 1 and S.1 in the House and Senate) was the top priority of Democratic leadership, having passed the Democrat-led House with no GOP support. Just think of what would have happened, had the Democrat’s “voting rights legislation” been enacted:
- It would have ushered in the largest federally mandated expansion of voting rights since the 1960s;
- ended the practice of partisan gerrymandering of congressional districts;
- forced super PACs to disclose their big donors;
- created a new public campaign financing system.
- and set basic standards for states to run elections:
- such as mandating at least 15 days of early voting;
- setting up automatic voter registration;
- and permitting the use of student IDs or sworn written statements in states that have voter identification requirements. Pray.
While all 50 Democrats were united in moving to debate the bill, Democrats were deeply divided on what to do next. (Answered prayer!) Referring to Congress, Senator Christopher S. Murphy (D-CT) said: “This place can always make you despondent. The whole exercise of being a member of this body is convincing yourself to get up another day to convince yourself that the fight is worth engaging in…” (More answered prayer!) So the Republican blockade in the Senate left Democrats without a clear path forward, and without a means to beat back the new protective voting laws racing through Republican-led states.
“That they may successfully do evil with both hands
The prince asks for gifts, The judge seeks a bribe,
And the great man utters his evil desire; So they scheme together.
The best of them is like a brier; The most upright is sharper than a thorn hedge;
The day of your watchman and your punishment comes; Now shall be their perplexity.”
Micah 7:3-4
Pray.
Democrats’ hope rests on a long-shot bid to eliminate the legislative filibuster, which Republicans used to block the measure. Seething progressive activists pointed to the Republicans’ refusal to even allow debate on the issue, calling it a glaring example of why Democrats in the Senate must move to eliminate the rule and bypass the GOP on a range of liberal priorities while they still control Congress and the presidency.
Senators Joe Manchin of West Virginia and Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona, key Democratic moderates who have defended the filibuster rule, did not support the legislation, and other Democrats privately expressed concerns over key provisions. When the vote was over, they appeared unmoved. Manchin told reporters: “The filibuster is needed to protect democracy, I can tell you that.” Pray.
After months of partisan wrangling over the role of the federal government in elections, the outcome was hardly a surprise to either party. Republicans never seriously considered the legislation, or a narrower alternative proposed in recent days by Manchin. We were blessed to see them FINALLY WORKING TOGETHER as they mounted an aggressive campaign… in congressional committees, on television and finally on the floor to portray the bill as a self-serving federalization of elections to benefit Democrats. May they keep that up from now on! Pray.
We pray:
- In gratitude for answering our prayers for the defeat of HB 1 / SB 1, and for the strong stand taken by the Republicans, who stood together against this destructive bill! Pray.
- We ask that it be prevented from ever being resurrected, in any other form. Let it be settled as DOA! (Dead On Arrival) once and for all, seen for the vile instrument it is. Pray.
- That Republicans will continue to work together for righteousness and justice, and that there will be Democrats who will see the truth and be “translated “ from darkness to LIGHT! Pray.
- That President Trump will have a strong positive influence on Republicans and continue to lead the party to overturn the 2020 election, and take back both houses of Congress and the White House! Pray.
- That he will set an “appointed place” and an “appointed time” for our meeting with him! Pray.
