We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call.
We are taking measures to protect and defend our 24/7 family and this call. At the top of every hour,
the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss, then pray a shield of protection over the call and our 24/7 family!
*The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly
for the safety and security of our President and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for the protection of our President Donald Trump and cover him with the Blood of Jesus.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their young son Barron and each of their family members.
We cover our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those in this Administration who are serving You and our nation!”
The 24/7 NSPC has called the Body of Christ nationwide to pray for the 2020 National Elections,
mobilizing intercessors and positioning ourselves in prayer before the Lord
on behalf of our President and nation!
Today, we pray into this verse for our elections.
“And one will say to him, ‘What are these wounds between your arms?’
Then he will answer, ‘Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.’”
Zechariah 13:6
Strategic Focus for Wednesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES
God Created Us…Male and Female
“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him;
male and female He created them.”
Genesis 1:27
The Trump administration is moving to define gender as a fixed status determined biologically by the genitalia a person is born with, reversing Obama-era policies that granted federal recognition to transgender individuals. A memo detailing how the Department of Health and Human Services plans to create a legal definition of gender stated that the definition would be implemented under the Title IX law, which bans discrimination based on sex in federally funded education programs.
The HHS has privately argued that the term “sex” was never meant to include gender identity or even homosexuality and that the lack of clarity allowed the Obama administration to wrongfully extend civil rights protections to people who should not have them. A memo said that gender should be defined “on a biological basis that is clear, grounded in science, objective and administrable.” A person’s gender would be strictly male or female and it would be unchanging. “Sex means a person’s status as male or female based on immutable biological traits identifiable by or before birth,” the memo said. “The sex listed on a person’s birth certificate, as originally issued, shall constitute definitive proof of a person’s sex unless rebutted by reliable genetic evidence.”
According to a 2016 study from the Williams Institute, a UCLA Law-based think tank focused on sexual orientation research, about 1.4 million American adults identify as transgender…defined as: “denoting or relating to a person whose sense of personal identity and gender does not correspond with their birth sex.”
- California (218K), Texas (125K) and Florida (100K), New York (78K ) and Georgia (55K) are the top five states for transgender populations.
We pray:
- Lord, that the Body of Christ in these states would realize what a mission field this is, and reach out to those who are struggling with identity, particularly the youth, offering them hope that is in Christ alone!
Former President Obama’s administration argued that the 1972 Title IX law bars discrimination based on gender and sexual orientation. When the Department of Education issued a “guidance” in 2016 requiring schools to allow transgender students to use the restroom or locker room of their chosen gender, it invoked Title IX. It said: “When a school provides sex-segregated activities and facilities, transgender students must be allowed to participate in such activities and access such facilities consistent with their gender identity.” And schools that did not comply risked losing federal funds. That guidance infuriated conservatives, who decried the move as a clear case of federal overreach.
The directive was rescinded one month after President Donald Trump took office in 2017. He decided to “withdraw and rescind” guidelines issued by the Obama administration requiring that schools allow transgender students to use restrooms matching their chosen gender rather than their birth gender. At that time, White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer said President Trump is “a firm believer in states’ rights and that certain issues like this are not best dealt with at the federal level.”
We pray:
- Father, thank You for the courage and conviction our President has shown in this matter. Strengthen and affirm him, and cause others to support and align with him in this matter.
President Trump’s HHS department has argued that the term “sex” was never legally meant to include homosexuality and gender identity.
- Roger Severino, the current director of the Office for Civil Rights at HHS, wrote several articles critical of Obama’s efforts to extend civil rights protections to transgender Americans.
- In 2016, Severino called the Education Department’s guidance on school bathrooms the “culmination of a series of unilateral, and frequently lawless, administration attempts to impose a new definition of what it means to be a man or a woman on the entire nation.”
- Ryan Anderson, a senior research fellow with the conservative Heritage Foundation, said the Obama guidelines were unlawful because federal Title IX law protects students based on their sex, not their gender identity.
- He also said that those directives violated the rights of other students, especially girls who may have suffered from sexual abuse in the past and do not want to be exposed to male anatomy. “It’s understandable when a 16-year-old girl might not want an anatomical male in the shower or the locker room.”
- He said that students, parents and teachers should work out “win-win” solutions at the local level, such as equipping schools with single-occupancy restrooms or locker rooms or allowing students to access the faculty lounge.
Having heard the truth about this, let’s pray into this “misinformation” (bold faced lies) that are being circulated regarding this matter:
Gay rights advocates decried this as a move to “rigidly define gender”… “a direct attack on the fundamental equality of LGBTQ people and, if this administration refuses to reverse course, Congress must immediately take action by advancing the Equality Act to ensure that LGBTQ people are explicitly protected by our nation’s civil rights laws.”
We pray:
- That this will put an end to the left’s attempts to distort and “redefine” gender as they have for years!
The Trevor Project, a suicide prevention organization aimed at helping LGBTQ youth, said: “When a young person hears that their existence and gender identity will not be recognized by their government, they hear that they are not worthy to be a part of that nation. Transgender youth seeing this report should know that they are not alone and that their identity is valid – nothing the government does can change that.”
We pray:
- That the Body of Christ will identify, reach out to and give those who are so deeply confused the love and support they need to realize the truth and be set free from this demonic attack on their lives.
Teen Vogue magazine wrote: “The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is working on a federal policy that would limit a definition of gender to an archaic binary, and thus attempt to deny the identity of anyone whose gender differs from the sex they were assigned at birth. Such a policy would mark the Trump administration’s most concrete attempt to deny rights and basic acknowledgment of personhood to transgender people, and anyone else whose gender identity differs from the one they were assigned at birth.”
We pray:
- That the twisting of words and messages will be exposed, so that teens (especially) will see how they are being sacrificed on the altars of the extreme left, for a cause that will ultimately destroy them.
Sex and gender are predetermined by God at the moment of conception! They are easily seen before or at the birth of a child…and joyfully embraced by all who recognize that a child is a gift from GOD!
We pray:
- That the HHS policy would reflect those truths and none other!
“In the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.
He created them male and female, and blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created.”
Genesis 5:1-2

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for our President and his Administration
Due to inadequate amounts of water and fuel to run generators, the US State Department has been forced to remove and bring home our diplomats and the staff from US Embassy in Venezuela. The US put the Maduro regime on notice that we are holding them responsible for the safety and welfare of the 40-50K US citizens who live there, many holding dual citizenship!
We pray:
- That the President will use great wisdom and discern the course of action that the US will pursue in this matter.
- For those innocent people who are caught in the “cross-fire” of the two feuding forces vying for power in Venezuela! Bring this dispute to an end, resolving it without bloodshed or war!
