“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 #
We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him, And He shall direct your paths.”
Proverbs 3:5-6
We sing: Trust and Obey
When we walk with the Lord in the light of His Word, What a glory He sheds on our way!
While we do His good will, He abides with us still, And with all who will trust and obey.
Refrain: Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Not a shadow can rise, not a cloud in the skies, but His smile quickly drives it away;
Not a doubt or a fear, not a sigh or a tear, can abide while we trust and obey
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Not a burden we bear, not a sorrow we share, but our toil He doth richly repay;
Not a grief or a loss, not a frown or a cross, but is blest if we trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
But we never can prove the delights of His love, until all on the altar we lay,
for the favor He shows, and the joy He bestows, are for them who will trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.
Then in fellowship sweet we will sit at His feet, or we’ll walk by His side in the way.
What He says we will do, where He sends, we will go, never fear, only trust and obey.
Trust and obey, for there’s no other way to be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey.

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly for the safety and security of our President, Donald John Trump, and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for our President’s protection from the coronavirus and cover him with the Blood of Jesus.

We refer those to You who are plotting and planning the demise of our beloved President!

We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage, their son Barron and all their family members.
We bless our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family

We pray for the mass media, which is allowing itself to be used and exploited by the “father of lies.”
We ask that it either reverses course and reports accurately or be taken down.
We pray for the Federal Reserve Board members, to use their power to boost our nation’s economy.

COUNTDOWN: 218 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“You shall love your neighbor as yourself. “Love does no harm to a neighbor; therefore love is the fulfillment of the law.”
Romans 13:9-10
Strategic Focus for Tuesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Being Under Authority
“Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to evil. Do you want to be unafraid of the authority? Do what is good, and you will have praise from the same. For he is God’s minister to you for good. But if you do evil, be afraid; for he does not bear the sword in vain; for he is God’s minister, an avenger to execute wrath on him who practices evil. Therefore you must be subject, not only because of wrath but also for conscience’ sake.
Romans 13:1-5
When we come to Christ, we release our finite and feeble control to Him and accept His Sovereign Rule! Under His authority and protection, we find true security. We learn to trust Him, instead of ourselves. As we grow in our relationship with Him, we acknowledge Him and seek His will and ask for His direction in everything we do. We begin to see how radical holiness, unity in the Body and the perfection of love are the very foundations to our Christian life…and as we “trust and obey”, our lives come into order and we’re filled with peace…His SHALOM! HalleluYah!
We pray:
- Lord, You’re so good to us! You have established both order and authority, and as we embrace both, we are protected and secure! Help us honor the authority You have placed over us and remain in Divine order! Pray
One of the finest examples of a person being under authority is found in our Vice President, Mike Pence! He is someone who has been in authority, and is in authority, and yet is under authority! He knows who he is and Whose he is, and that he has been positioned by God, in his proper place as Vice President, to faithfully serve at the side of the President, whom he honors as the authority over him!
When Jesus encountered such a man as Mike Pence, He said that He had not found great faith like his anywhere!
The centurion acknowledged Jesus’ authority, believing Jesus had the authority to give him the healing he sought.
“Lord, do not trouble Yourself, for I am not worthy that You should enter under my roof. Therefore I did not even think myself worthy to come to You. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I also am a man placed under authority, having soldiers under me. I say to one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and to another, ‘Come,’ and he comes; and to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” When Jesus heard these things, He marveled at him, and turned around and said to the crowd that followed Him, “I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel!”
Luke 7:6-9
It is a joy for us to see our two leaders’ relationship, and to note how these great men recognize and honor each other! At recent Coronavirus Task Force Press Briefings, President Trump acknowledged his Vice President with glowing remarks and the Vice President humbly responded, deferring to the President, always crediting him with the decision making and focusing the spotlight on him, instead of himself!
We pray:
- That God will continue to protect and preserve this relationship, and cause it to grow even stronger, for His glory! Pray
Let’s look at two of their statements and pray into them:
PRESIDENT TRUMP: “We’re doing a great job on it. Mike Pence, our Vice President, has headed up the task force, which has been incredible, the job they’ve done. We have everybody in the White House working on it….everybody in the country is working on this in one way or the other. These people are incredible. They’re working 24 hours a day. Mike Pence — I mean, Mike Pence, I don’t think he sleeps anymore. These — these are people that should be appreciated.” Pray
VICE PRESIDENT PENCE: “Thank you, Mr. President. This day should be an inspiration to every American, because thanks to your leadership from early on, not only are we bringing a whole-of-government approach to confronting the coronavirus, we’re bringing an all-of-America approach.” Pray
“Mr. President, from early on, you took decisive action. You suspended all travel from China. You created travel advisories — South Korea and Italy. We screened all travelers from all airports in both of those countries. And on the unanimous recommendation of your health experts, you, at midnight tonight, will effectively suspend all travel from Europe.” “Throughout this process, Mr. President, you’ve put the health of America first, but you brought the best of America to address it. And it’s not just at the federal level. As you said, Mr. President, we’ve been working with states across the country. We issued broad guidelines from CDC for every American.” Pray
“And we’ve been in continuous contact, as you said, with governors around the country. And, Mr. President, you have forged a seamless partnership with every state and every territory in this country to put the health of our nation first.” Pray
“And, Mr. President, I know I join you in saying that every American should be proud of this incredible public-private partnership that’s going to speeding access of testing to millions of Americans in the weeks ahead.” “And together, as you’ve said many times, together we’ll get through this. Together, we’ll put the health of America first.” Pray
“Today is an opportunity to talk about the progress that we are making on mitigation, on testing, on supplies. We understand as FEMA’s — as FEMA’s mission, that this effort, through FEMA, will be locally executed, state-managed, and federally supported. And I want all the governors to know that we are with you every step of the way. We are absolutely determined, at the President’s direction, to make sure that you have the resources and the support as you see to the health and wellbeing of your communities.” Pray
As Christians, we must take our roles as citizens seriously. We must understand where the authority and the responsibility lie for the handling of the coronavirus. The fake news/mass media will not report these facts, which means that the general public will most likely never hear them…therefore, they will continue laboring under a misapprehension…one which suits the darkness well!
Mike Farris of the Alliance Defending Freedom, has written that the bulk of the responsibility for combatting
COVID-19 falls to our State Governors, not the President. The term for governmental authority and responsibility for health, safety, welfare, and morality, is “police power,” something that states have, but the federal government does not.
- The authority and responsibility Constitutionally given to the President is the power to control the borders of the United States. The chief responsibility for President Trump is to ensure that we keep people with the virus from coming into the country. However, most of the people who have brought the disease into the US are American citizens or residents who got sick abroad and then re-entered the country, bringing the virus in with them.
- The authority and responsibility given the Governors is the power to seek to stop the spread of the disease… once it is in their state. We have seen Governors exercise great variation in their approaches. For example: In New York State, students were kept in school longer than in other states.
“Statism” is a system in which there is a concentration of economic controls and planning in the hands of a highly centralized government, often extending to government ownership of industry, which gives the state a substantial centralized control over social and economic affairs. To understand why New York is a “coronavirus hotspot’ now, we should examine the actions of Governor Cuomo…not President Trump.
- When the President suggested a federal quarantine on the New York area (NY, NJ, CT), Cuomo correctly said that such an order would be a violation of states’ rights.
- Under modern practice, the federal government can assist the states in emergencies, but the true authority resides with the states.
- Tragically, the NY death toll is rising…but the responsibility for what is taking place rests with the authority…the NY Governor.
Given the “statism” that so many liberal socialists embrace, there is a wide assumption that the government should do everything for us…and that it should prevent every problem. But there are certain components of things that are beyond the power of any government to control. In order to assess responsibility correctly, we need to look to our State Governors and evaluate their actions. That’s where the Constitutional authority and responsibility lies.
We pray:
- For the correct understanding of the authority and responsibility given by God and our Constitution to both the President and the Governors of the states, so that we do not put the blame on the President for what the Governors do or fail to do for the citizens of their states.
- That the Governors will mobilize and organize their state resources, so that they can work seamlessly with our President and Vice President to assure the maximum protection, prevention and care for their people.
- That in the midst of this crisis, Americans will come to appreciate President Trump and Vice President Pence more and more, and recognize that these two men embody the attributes of Godly leaders…and will give them their full support!
- That this coronavirus plight will be lifted off and fully removed from our nation in April! Let the Word of the RESURRECTED LORD and the “resurrection of our nation” be heralded in advance of its happening!
