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.
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 a miraculous conclusion to the investigations into the 2020 elections,
and proof of fraud and collusion to remove Joe Biden (and company) and restore President Trump
to his rightful office so that he can lead this nation once again and work to restore the global balance!
Pray.
That Russian aggression in Ukraine will cease and war there will be ended.
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Friday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE REDEMPTION OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC – Part 84

“He informed me, and talked with me, and said,
“O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you skill to understand.”
Daniel 9:22
We continue with Derek Prince’s teaching on War in Heaven, and thank God for all we are learning! Pray.
CHAPTER 7 (continued) – ONE MAN AND HIS PRAYER
We find two complementary elements in Daniel’s prayer life.
- Number one, he had cultivated a life of prayer from his youth. This was so important to him that even the threat of being cast into the lions’ den did not deter him. He maintained regular times of prayer throughout the day. Pray.
- Number two, Daniel did not pray according to his own ideas, but rather for the fulfillment of God’s purpose as revealed in Scripture. The Lord God had quickened to him a passage from the prophet Jeremiah:
“I, Daniel, understood from the Scriptures, according to the word of the Lord given to Jeremiah the prophet, that the desolation of Jerusalem would last seventy years. So I turned to the Lord God and pleaded with him in prayer and petition, in fasting, and in sackcloth and ashes.” Daniel 9:2-3 Pray.
Any believer who gives himself to the ministry of intercession needs to be a diligent student of biblical prophecy because this is the primary basis of all truly effective prayer. An overall outline of the outworking of God’s purposes revealed in prophecy is given by Jesus Himself in Matthew 24 and 25. Any believer who gives himself to prayer along this line should make a diligent study of the picture of the end time that Jesus Himself gave in these two chapters. Pray.
A serious problem with many believers is that we underestimate our own influence and potential. Yet in a certain sense, the universe revolves around us. When we pray, heaven moves.
- If we hold out in prayer, heaven’s purposes are fulfilled.
- If we give up praying, the purposes of God are frustrated. Pray.
One fact of vital importance for our prayer life emerges from the incidents related above. Unfortunately, however, few Christians have come to grips with it. The fact is this: In order to ascend from earth to the throne of God’s authority, our prayers may have to pass through a territory occupied by our enemy. This was obviously true of Daniel’s prayers recorded above. They were being opposed by a satanic prince in the heavenlies called “the prince of Persia.” In the end, however, Daniel’s persistent prayer caused this satanic prince to yield. The effectiveness of Daniel’s praying was not manifest in the natural realm. He was not dealing with human beings; he was dispelling satanic forces in the heavenlies that were opposing God’s purposes.
Challenged by Daniel’s example, we need to ask certain questions before we give ourselves to prayer:
- Are my prayers based on Scripture or are they just the expression of my own wishful thinking? Pray.
- Do I pray the kind of aggressive, irresistible prayers that will reach God’s throne? Pray.
- When I pray, am I prepared to deal with satanic spiritual forces in a heavenly realm and not merely with situations on a purely human level? Pray.
I was talking once to a group of Methodists on the subject of prayer, and I remarked, “Some people read prayers, some people say prayers and some people pray.” Of course, this provoked some questions. “What’s the difference?” they asked. “Well,” I replied, “a person who’s really praying doesn’t just read a prayer or say a prayer, but he becomes his own prayer.” Pray.
I went on to explain that this was true of David when he was under tremendous pressure, as recorded in Psalm 109:3-4: “They have also surrounded me with words of hatred, and fought against me without a cause. In return for my love they are my accusers, but I give myself to prayer.” The English translation reads, “I give myself to prayer.” But the translators have inserted words not included in the original Hebrew. What David actually said was, “But I prayer.” In other words, “I became my own prayer.” Pray.
Elijah on Mount Carmel provides us with a picture of this kind of prayer: “And Elijah went up to the top of Carmel; then he bowed down on the ground, and put his face between his knees, and said to his servant, “Go up now, look toward the sea.” So he went up and looked, and said, “There is nothing. And seven times he said, “Go again.” Then it came to pass the seventh time, that he said, “There is a cloud, as small as a man’s hand, rising out of the sea!” So he said, “Go up, say to Ahab, ‘Prepare your chariot, and go down before the rain stops you.’” 1 Kings 18:42-44 At this point Elijah did not merely say a prayer, he became his own prayer. His whole body became an instrument that responded to the Spirit of God moving within him, and releasing the supernatural power of God through him. Pray.
But in Hebrews 5:7 there is one yet greater pattern of this kind of prayer as the writer describes Jesus: “Who, in the days of His flesh, when He had offered up prayers and supplications, with vehement cries and tears to Him who was able to save Him from death, and was heard because of His godly fear.” Elijah on Mount Carmel and Jesus in Gethsemane became vehicles of a supernatural power that broke through all satanic opposition and released the purposes of God. Pray.
For effective prayer, there are two things we need: authority and power.
- Authority is a legal concept. To have authority we must have confidence that we have fulfilled all the legal requirements. Once we have fulfilled these, praying in the name of Jesus sets the seal of His authority upon our prayer. He Himself stressed continually: “If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” Praying such a prayer is like sending a registered letter. No one can tamper with it or stop it. It is guaranteed to reach its destination. Pray.
As Christians in the world today, we may expect to be confronted by situations in which nothing less than the kind of prayer demonstrated by Elijah and by Jesus will bring victory. Frequently it will express itself in powerful, uninhibited praise. Our prayers will need to be supernaturally empowered to penetrate the area in the mid-heaven where Satan seeks to oppose us. Pray.
- An illustration is provided by the technique by which NASA engineers launch a shuttle into space. They attach a rocket booster to the shuttle, and this, when activated, provides the energy needed to project the shuttle above the atmosphere of the earth. But the release of the rocket is accompanied by an almost blinding flash and then a loud sustained roar during the shuttle’s ascent through the earth’s atmosphere. Once it has reached a certain altitude, it will carry on under its own momentum. There is no way to release a rocket, however, without a powerful impact on the senses. In a similar way, the release of the power needed to project our prayers through the mid-heaven makes a powerful impact upon the senses. Sometimes we have the impression that prayer must be solemn and dignified. But there is nothing solemn or dignified about the release of a rocket. Pray.
Spiritual conflict will inevitably test our character. Daniel provides us with three challenging examples.
First, Daniel’s prayer cost him something. By going on a partial fast for three weeks, he sacrificed his own carnal pleasure. Pray.
Second, he did not yield to discouragement. In spite of the fact that there was no tangible evidence that God was hearing his prayer and that a response was on the way, he continued to pour out his heart before his God. Pray.
Third, because of Daniel’s courage and persistence the subsequent outworking of God’s purposes for Israel was released. It was his prayer life that gave him his unique position in the history of his people. Pray.
The following are important lessons that we can learn from Daniel’s prayer life:
- From his youth, Daniel’s prayer was a way of life not a religious activity. He reserved a set time and place each day that he gave exclusively to prayer. Pray.
- Daniel did not improvise his own prayer. The original impulse to pray came from the prophetic Scriptures. He prayed for the fulfillment of God’s will for His people as revealed in Scripture. Pray.
- Daniel’s prayer demanded self-denial and was accompanied by fasting. In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said to His disciples, “When you pray… when you fast…” He did not say, “If you pray” or “if you fast.” He took it for granted that His disciples would practice both prayer and fasting. There are times when prayer alone is not sufficient. It needs to be supernaturally empowered by fasting. Pray.
- Daniel was totally committed to praying. As I mentioned earlier, even the threat of being cast into the lions’ den did not cause him to waver. Pray.
This brings out one fact often neglected by Christians during times of spiritual conflict: Effective praying tests our character. It demands single-hearted commitment.
Praying as he did projected Daniel into a level of activity far above that of earth. The last three chapters of the book of Daniel contain a total of 78 verses. Daniel himself is the only human being involved. The other beings depicted are angels.
We pray:
- We thank You, Lord, for giving us a deeper understanding of the spiritual warfare in which we are engaged. Pray.
- Guard, protect and cover us and our families with the Blood of Jesus as you train and equip us for the battles we must fight, for Your GLORY! Pray.
- Bless and protect our beloved President Trump. Cover him with the Blood of Jesus and help him make the crucial decisions that will facilitate his return to the White House. Pray.
- Lord God, protect our nation from being drawn into a war. We seek Your peace and solutions to the conflict at hand! Pray.
- Let the light of Christ flood the nations, drawing all men to You! Pray.
- That our homes will 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.
