Sunday, March 27, 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!
“I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;
and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God,
Who loved me and gave Himself for me.”
Galatians 2:20
We sing: Yet Not I, but Through Christ in Me
What gift of grace is Jesus, my Redeemer. There is no more for heaven now to give.
He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom, my steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace.
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus. For my life is wholly bound to His.
Oh how strange and divine, I can sing, “All is mine.”
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
The night is dark but I am not forsaken, for by my side, the Savior, He will stay.
I labor on in weakness and rejoicing, for in my need, His power is displayed.
To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me. Through the deepest valley He will lead.
Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome.
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven. The future sure, the price it has been paid.
For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon and He was raised to overthrow the grave.
To this I hold, my sin has been defeated. Jesus now and ever is my plea.
Oh the chains are released, I can sing, “I am free”
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
With every breath I long to follow Jesus, for He has said that He will bring me home
And day by day I know He will renew me, until I stand with joy before the throne
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus. All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus. All the glory evermore to Him
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat
Yet not I, but through Christ in me
When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat:
Yet not I, but through Christ in me. Yet not I, but through Christ in me. Yet not I, but through Christ in 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.
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.

“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?”
Hebrews 1:14
CHAPTER 8 (continued) – ANGELIC BEINGS
As we study about spiritual warfare and focus today on the angelic beings…we grow in our appreciation of those creatures who, before man was created, were God’s highest creation! Let’s learn more about these amazing ministers that serve God by serving us!
The Ministry of Angels What purposes do the angels serve? Angels are not merely spirits but they are ministering spirits, sent forth by God to serve His people and His purposes: “Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:14 The Bible offers many accounts of angels sent out to minister to members of the Adamic race in their times of need. Pray.
As already stated, the Greek word used in the New Testament for angel is angelos, which means “a messenger.” The Hebrew word used in the Old Testament for angel is malach, meaning “servant.” Angels therefore are servant messengers sent forth with special tasks. Pray.
Here are some of them.
Bring Revelations – One important function assigned to angels at times was to bring revelations that were actually recorded as Scripture.
- For example, the messages of the first six chapters of the prophet Zechariah were brought to him by angels.
- Various sections of the book of Daniel were given by angels.
- But the most significant of all is the book of Revelation, which is the culmination of all Scripture:
- “Then he said to me, ‘These words are faithful and true.’ And the Lord God of the holy prophets sent His angel to show His servants the things which must shortly take place” Revelation 22:6 This indicates that the whole content of the book of Revelation was communicated to John by an angel.
- Further on in this same chapter Jesus Himself clearly states: “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches” verse 16 Pray.
Deliver Other Messages – The Bible also contains examples of angels sent from God with various messages for individuals.
- For instance, Zecharias, while serving as a priest in the Temple, received a message from an angel foretelling the birth of John the Baptist Luke 1:11 -25
- Later the archangel Gabriel appeared to the virgin Mary and announced that she would conceive a Son, who was to be called Jesus (Savior) Luke 1:26 38
- At the climax of the ministry of Jesus, as He was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, an angel appeared to Him strengthening Him for the ordeal that lay ahead: “Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him” Luke 22:43. Pray.
Serve the Saints on Earth – In Luke 16:19-31, Jesus describes the death of the beggar named Lazarus and briefly lifts the veil over the events that followed: “So it was that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels to Abraham’s bosom” verse 22. I am always gripped by the fact that a company of angels escorted Lazarus. Surely one angel could have carried that emaciated form into God’s presence. But God honored him with an escort. Pray.
His values are so different from ours. “He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the beggar from the ash heap, to set them among princes and make them inherit the throne of glory” 1 Samuel 2:8 Pray.
On the other hand, Jesus warns us: “For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God” Luke 16:13. May God preserve us from giving our lives to things that are an abomination to Him! Pray.
Provide Protection – Another ministry of angels is to rescue God’s servants from situations of danger. There are many examples of this in Scripture.
- Daniel 3:19-23 records how Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego refused to honor Nebuchadnezzar’s god and were cast into a fiery furnace, which should have meant instant death. But a fourth unnamed being – by his presence – preserved them from all harm and they came out to glorify God. Undoubtedly, that fourth person was an angelic being. Pray.
- Later Daniel refused to renege on his commitment to pray to the God of Israel for the city of Jerusalem and, as a consequence, he was thrown into the lions’ den Daniel 6:10-23. However, Daniel spent a more restful night with the lions than King Darius in his palace. The next morning, Daniel reassured the king: “My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths, so that they have not hurt me” verse 22.
Pray.
- The New Testament records similar interventions by angels for God’s people when imprisoned. Acts 3:17-28 recounts how the apostles were imprisoned for preaching the Gospel. But an angel of the Lord supernaturally opened the prison doors, led them out and closed the doors securely behind them. Then he instructed the apostles to go on teaching the people in the Temple. Pray.
- Further on, Acts 12:4-19 relates how Peter was imprisoned awaiting execution. But an angel of the Lord roused him from sleep, released his shackles and led him safely out of the prison. At this point Peter realized that this was not a dream and he said: “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people” verse 11 Pray.
Old and New Testaments alike assure us that God will, at times, intervene through angels on behalf of His servants in situations of danger and will deliver them.
Intervene Politically – Another extremely important ministry of angels is to intervene in the political arena either by helping to raise up leaders or by setting them aside – according to God’s directives. Angels may release their supernatural power in support of leaders who are committed to do God’s will, even though these leaders may not actually be serving Him. Pray.
An outstanding example is provided by the rise to power of Darius the Mede as described in Daniel 11:1: “Also in the first year of Darius the Mede, I [the angel speaking], even I, stood up to confirm and strengthen him.” Darius was a king of Persia who followed Cyrus and extended the Persian Empire in various directions. He helped to implement the decree of his predecessor, Cyrus, that had opened the way for the Jews to return to their land and to the city of Jerusalem. The return of the Jews to Jerusalem was an integral and essential part of the historical outworking of God’s purposes. To bring this about, God released angelic forces in the heavenlies. Pray.
However, the effect of angelic intervention in the processes of history may be negative rather than positive for those involved. For instance, in Acts 12:20-23, King Herod had made an arrogant speech to the people of Tyre and Sidon in which he accepted honor as a god. God’s reaction to this was immediate: “An angel of the Lord struck him, because he did not give glory to God. And he was eaten by worms and died” verse 23. There was a pointed contrast between the honor Herod accepted and the way he died.
Rescue in Time of Need – Not all angelic intervention, however, is directed to producing major historical changes. Angels quite often are sent to help very ordinary people dealing with situations beyond their control.
The story of my first wife, Lydia, is a good example. In 1929, when Lydia was living on her own in Jerusalem, she was seeking to carry a sickly little Jewish baby girl named Tikva away from a street riot that had broken out around her house. The following is an excerpt from my book Appointment in Jerusalem, recounting the drama:
Every hundred yards or so I [Lydia] came to a barricade of rocks and other debris piled across the street. Painfully I half climbed, half scrambled over them, still holding Tikva on my shoulders. After about half a mile I came to a barricade, two or three feet higher than the rest, that marked the line of division between the Jewish and Arab zones. I began to scramble over, but halfway across, my foot slipped on a loose stone and with a rush of rubble I slid down to the bottom again, almost losing Tikva from my shoulders. Realizing that my strength was giving out, I set Tikva down on the ground and sat beside her on a rock. By myself, I felt sure, I could climb over somehow. But how to get Tikva over? Suddenly I had the uncanny impression that I was no longer by myself. Every muscle in my body tensed. Turning quickly, I was confronted by a young man standing in the road a few feet from me. A scream rose to my lips, but before I could utter it, the young man had picked Tikva up and placed her on his shoulders, in the same position in which I had been carrying her. Then, without apparent effort, he climbed the barricade. Relieved of the burden of Tikva, I succeeded in scrambling over after him. As soon as I was over, the young man set off along the road – Tikva still on his shoulders and myself following a few feet behind. Still trying to grasp what was happening, I looked more closely at the young man. He was about six feet tall, wearing a dark suit of European cut. Certainly he was not an Arab. He might be Jewish. Where had he come from? How had he appeared so suddenly at my side? The thing that surprised me most was Tikva’s behavior. Normally, if a stranger tried to pick her up, she would start to cry. But I had not heard one murmur from her since the young man picked her up. She was riding just as contentedly on his shoulders as she would have done on mine. Indeed, she seemed to be enjoying herself! For nearly half a mile the young man strode ahead. He never hesitated as to which road to follow, but took the most direct route to Musrara. Each time we came to a barricade, he climbed it ahead of me, then waited on the other side long enough to make sure that I was safely over. Finally he came to a halt directly in front of Miss Ratcliffe’s house, set Tikva down on the street, turned around and started back along the way by which we had come. During our whole encounter he had not spoken a single word, either of greeting or of parting. In a minute he was out of sight.“However, did you get here?” Miss Ratcliffe persisted… I described the journey and the young man who had come to my aid… “God has answered our prayers! We asked Him to send an angel to protect you, and surely that is what He did!” Pray.
In my own first contact with born-again Christians, I was frequently a guest with a family that kept a boarding house in Scarborough in Yorkshire. They had an unmarried daughter in her late twenties who might have been described as “simple.” One of her domestic chores was to carry the rubbish out of the back door to a side street. From time to time, a man would be waiting for her. He was very well dressed with a bowler hat and a fancy waistcoat with a gold watch chain. He would hand her a certain sum of money, which always exactly covered some bill that needed to be paid. This went on for a long period. Then one day as he handed her the money he said, “From now on you won’t be needing any more,” which proved true. By that time, the family income had risen to a level where it covered all their immediate needs. Pray.
These are just two of the people I have encountered over the years who have had some kind of contact with angels. I mean a contact that they were aware of. We may be sure that these usually invisible hosts are serving God day and night in our midst. Pray.
We pray:
- Thank You, Lord, for the heart and mind of Derek Prince, who has shared his understanding of the spiritual beings called angels and the warfare in which we are engaged. Pray.
- Guard and protect us, our families and the members of our 24/7 family with the Blood of Jesus…and cover President Trump with IT as we intercede for him! Help him to make the crucial decisions that will facilitate his return to the White House. Pray.
- Protect our nation, and do not allow us to be drawn into a war. We ask for 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.
