Saturday, May 13, 2023 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Cal
“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!
“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ,
and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.”
2 Corinthians 2:14
We sing: Now Thank We All our God
Now thank we all our God, with heart and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done, in Whom this world rejoices;
Who from our mothers’ arms has blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.
O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;
and keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed;
and free us from all ills, in this world and the next!
All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given;
The Son and Him Who reigns with Them in highest Heaven;
the One Eternal God, whom earth and Heaven adore;
for thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.

for the safety and security of our duly elected President, Donald John Trump,
and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!

and for all the members of their family. We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.
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.
For protection, provision, and peace
for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!
As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, let those leaders that God anoints and appoints
take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
Pray.
For us to receive and put on the full armor of God as we begin this hour,
that we might be protected as we stand in the gap and pray for our nation!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Saturday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA! – Part 354
The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 244
“Behold, I set before you today a blessing and a curse:
the blessing, if you obey the commandments of the Lord your God which I command you today;
and the curse, if you do not obey the commandments of the Lord your God,
but turn aside from the way which I command you today, to go after other gods which you have not known.
Deuteronomy 11:26–28
In the above verses from Deuteronomy, humanity is provided with a choice. Obedience to biblical morality leads to a society of blessings, while willful disobedience of such commands leads to a culture of decadence.
BLESSINGS AND CURSES…we must choose! Sadly, the American culture is departing from God’s moral standards and bringing curses upon us and our children! Led by militant secular ideologues who seek to destroy the fabric of American civilization, American culture is jettisoning the moral standards revealed by God in the Bible. Society itself is under a sustained attack. Pray.
However, long ago, America’s Founding Fathers recognized that if we were to survive as a nation, we needed moral discipline premised upon the commandments of a transcendent Supreme Being. They knew that American prosperity would rely on values incorporated in the founding documents such as individual responsibility, limited government and religious freedom. Today’s left-wing elites rely on the coercive powers of government officials and “woke” institutions to enforce their own concept of morality. But our Founders believed that such moral values needed to be independent of governmental power (as codified in the Bill of Rights). Pray.
What can we do to bring our country back to the biblical morality of America’s founding principles? We could ask the famous liberal English anthropologist J.D. Unwin, who chronicled the historical decline of 86 primitive and civilized societies over 5,000 years. From all this, Unwin admitted that he could find no instance of a society that did not experience social and economic decline once it abandoned principles akin to biblical morality — and in particular, sexual self-restraint.
While popular culture tends to portray sexual promiscuity as “natural” and “normal,” God commanded humanity in Leviticus 19:2 “to be holy.” Rabbi Solomon Ben Isaac (“Rashi,” 1040–1106), the most influential Jewish Bible commentator of the Middle Ages, whose elucidations are widely studied today, explains that “wherever you find boundaries that guard against sexual impropriety, there will you find holiness.” Pray.
Today’s advocates of “woke” culture are creating moral chaos as they actively implement several of the curses against which God warned us. Once “freedom from (not of) religion” became a legal standard enforced by some courts, morality ceased to be based on God’s absolute standards. To fill the vacuum, progressive governmental authorities, together with their “politically correct” allies, chose to become the arbiter of moral values. However, Founding Father John Adams understood, “We have no government armed with the power … capable of contending with human passions unbridled … by morality and religion.” Further, “Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people.” Pray.
By implementing these curses, woke advocates are not only weakening America’s cultural fabric. They are hastening the exponential decline of the nation that we’ve witnessed over the past 40 to 50 years. An illustrative relevant curse is found in Deuteronomy 28:30 where we are told that “Thou shalt betroth a wife, but another man shall lie with her.” The gradual erosion of age-old moral and legal sanctions surrounding adultery are symptomatic. The Sexual Revolution has radically transformed love into “a splendid experience more magnificent than morality” and sex into an anarchic sport. Cohabitation and casual sex without the benefit of marriage have become prevalent. Neither carries a stigma. Divorce is now commonplace. Carrying on of the most private and personal kind, considered not too long ago as a cause for shame and elaborate secrecy, are now flaunted. People talk openly and in the media of their own extramarital affairs. They boast of their sexual exploits. Or joke about their fondness for pornographic materials. A new breed of “how to” sex manuals, which unabashedly teach every kind of perversion, are prevalent within society at large and more particularly within the school systems. New movies and every TV season bring a flood of new sexually-oriented material of ever-escalating prurience, tastelessness, and violence. All this in an atmosphere of intolerance and hostility towards any legitimate criticism. Pray.
Another curse actively pushed by radical left ideologues is found in Deuteronomy 28:32. There the Lord informs us that “Your sons and daughters shall be given unto another people.” In Deuteronomy 28:41 we learn that “You shall have sons and daughters but they shall not be yours, for they shall be taken into captivity.” We see today a “spiritual captivity.” Children are intentionally estranged from their parents, their faith and their communities. “Sex education programs” throughout the U.S. have swept all educational levels from pre-kindergarten on up. These “sex education” programs have less to do with “education” and more to do with indoctrination against traditional family life. The content of public school curricula is largely incompatible with the traditional religious principles by which many parents attempt to raise their children. School systems actively encourage teachers to deny parents any input on what is taught, particularly when the instructional materials relate to gender, gender identity, gender expression, and sexual orientation. Indeed, often without the parents’ full awareness of what is going on, teachers and guidance counselors deliberately choose to misinform parents about what they actually teach. Pray.
The radical left has successfully sexualized many of our children through a myriad of programs both within the public school systems and the media as well as on the Internet. Examples abound of this abusive sexualization of children. For example, an explosion of “sex change” processes have now become commonplace among defenseless children with virtually no public discussion of their moral, ethical, or religious implications. This sexual brainwashing of school children is being implemented by direct pressure from teachers’ unions and library boards as well as via legislation. Over the last three or four decades, the progressives have worked tirelessly behind the scenes to proselytize, indoctrinate, and intellectually seduce children through the very public school systems whose duty it has traditionally been to protect them. Thus throughout the nation, elementary, middle, and high schools have been transformed into vectors for the corruption of children. Even those children who were either home-schooled or attended private religious schools do not escape. They receive exposure to such progressive agenda-driven curricula and programs at university-level institutions. Pray.
Nevertheless, a growing number of young people are realizing the value of sexual abstinence prior to marriage and sexual fidelity during marriage. Such encouraging signs indicate that it is possible to reverse these and other curses presently prevalent within our culture. Ordinary citizens are expressing outrage. Parents throughout the country are actively organizing politically and filing lawsuits. In spite of efforts by the FBI to investigate such parents as “domestic terrorists,” parents continue to fight. They are taking on an establishment that attempts to teach students what to think, rather than how to think. Pray.
Other signs that the left-wing agenda is meeting opposition can be seen in the increasing number of ex-gay and detransition movements that are gaining adherents and also recent Supreme Court decisions recognizing the freedom to practice one’s religious principles.
Our nation needs to aggressively work to reverse the direction of our culture and overcome both the sins of sexual promiscuity and the effort to pollute the minds of our youth. The blessings promised by God may be restored. There is biblical precedent for such renewal. Ezra and Nehemiah were called by God to restore his kingdom in the midst of an environment that was partially hostile. When they did so, they realized God’s plans for the sanctification of humanity. Deuteronomy 30:1-3 explains “when you and your children return to the Lord our God and obey him with all your heart… and soul, then ….God will restore your fortunes.” Pray.
We pray:
- We know that our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. May we once again become that people, who take courageous stands for “life, liberty and the pursuit of virtue!” Pray.
- May we as parents and grandparents defend our youth and protect them from the demonic influences that seek to destroy them and our way of life! Pray.
- That the people of our nation will stand alongside President Trump, and remain engaged in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA until VICTORY is won! Pray.
- That the members of Congress will fully investigate and try the “usurper” Biden and all the corrupt members of his faux administration, convicting them of treason and restoring righteousness and justice for all!! Pray.
- Protect and strengthen our 24/7 family and bring in new intercessors who are called to this assignment with us, to pray for our President and our beloved nation! Prepare us for our NEXT STEPS in this Battle to Save America! Pray.
