May 2, 2025 – Notes Shabbat Call
05-02-25 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
Tonight, we are concluding the 2nd day of a 9-day initiative praying for the deliverance and destiny of Russia, and the end of the war with Ukraine. We thank God for all He’s done to prepare, direct, and guide us through this process, and trust that it will achieve its intended end!
We know that the attacks we have been experiencing as we pray against the darkness are simply intended to distract and get us off track, but we say “NO”…and we move forward! KADIMA!
Marsha (CA) had a similar situation, and God brought her through!
Marie (OK) prayed for Maureen through her tears. Blessings and great grace!
Ps Ioan declared that these demonic attacks are already cancelled and defeated. We speak SHALOM over this situation, over Maureen and her family, and our 24/7 family!
Anita (NJ) prayed for the angelic host to deal with this.
Maureen then led us in receiving the Ephesians 6 “armor of God.”
“Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might.
Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers,
against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day,
and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness,
and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
Above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;
praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit.”
Ephesians 6:10-18
We prayed corporately, receiving that precious armor, asking that we might wear it with the dignity it deserves!

Prayer requests:
Kathy Black (MD) “I go in Monday, May 5th, for total shoulder replacement surgery. This is a several month recuperation. My sister is coming in June to help me, and my daughter is with me. My whole team is praying. The Prayer Call will go on!”
Gloria and John Veleber (NJ) wisdom to know how to deal with the health issues they are facing / help to care for them / strength and healing from the continuous pain they are in!
We prayed for these precious sisters and brother, asking God to protect and care for them, meeting all their needs in Christ Jesus!
~~~
Look what the Lord has done!!!
President Trump has chosen May 8th for the celebration of Victory Day which is overlapping with May 9th – the Victory Day in Russia. (That’s really MORE than interesting.)
*Declaration by President Trump!*
“Many of our allies and friends are celebrating May 8th as Victory Day, but we did more than any other Country, by far, in producing a victorious result in World War II.
I am hereby renaming May 8th as Victory Day for World War II
and
November 11th as Victory Day for World War I.
We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance,
but we never celebrate anything. That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!”
This is a spiritual warfare in which we are engaged…and we have written that in a letter to the President!
The assignment to pray for the restoration of peace was just given to us and started yesterday, and LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS CAUSED TO HAPPEN ALREADY! Amazing indeed! (November 11 = birthday of 24/7 NSPC!)
We offered individual prayers:
Marsha (CA) we are learning to celebrate and we are acknowledging our roots and reasons to honor those who served the USA.
Bobby (WI) 1 Timothy 2:1-3
Marie (OK) I think of the homeless veterans, and how the government has failed to meet their obligation to them! It will be made right through President Trump’s administration.
Suzanne (ME) said their NDP in ME was fantastic…and peaceful!
Audrey (CA) said that at 11 am on the 11th of November 1918, Veterans Day was established
Ps Ioan shared about the restraining, for now, of the four horsemen, demonic principalities, and how they will be released again to fulfill their roles in the end times, as Scripture says. He also shared about the end times revival that Russia will experience! We asked for great grace for Jenny (CA), a Russian native, who is translating the documents for us to use on May 9th into Russian!
Maureen asked that we search our hearts and repent of anything that we might be holding against Russia or the Russian people, and release the LOVE to them instead. It is LOVE flowing from the heart of God through us to them!
Ps Ioan agreed and invited us to welcome God’s love for the Russian people, and to let it flow to the Russians from us,
We prayed into this.
Peter (FL) Shared Acts 2:17,21 and Acts 3:29-21
Dorothy (OR) thanked God for this initiative and felt the love of God come into her for Russia
Brad (VA) the people in Russia have been in bondage for so many years. Let this be the time of liberation for the people!
Debbie (TX) grew up hating the Russians and repented for that. She asked that the Russians be freed from this tyranny of war and death-loving spirit. She felt May would be very busy, as we deal with these spirits!
Mary Ellen (IL) thinking of the underground church and all those who have prayed for so many years. Let that love be an unexpected blessing on the Russian people, and cause them to have a sudden unexpected hope in their hearts! Hebrews 11:1 says: “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the [b]evidence of things not seen.”
Andi (KS) Help us to show love to the Russian people, here and around the world! She prayed that they would know that love! She asked for forgiveness and the USA for all the things that we have done that were not in alignment with God’s will. Forgive us, Lord, and let the Russian people forgive us as we forgive them! End the cruel reign of those who have oppressed them!
Dorothy (OR) I, too, have had a hatred of Russia, and it was because they exported Communism around the world!
Maureen said that most of us don’t really “hate” the Russian people, but have despised them for allowing Communism to be exported around the world!
Ps Ioan shared that he’s had more experience with Communism than most of us! He grew up under it in Romania. This spiritual warfare is being conducted from the USA, and the Lord graciously moved him to the USA for such a time as this!
Maureen said that is true for each one of us. We have each been ordained to be part of this move of God.
We then heard from Suzanne (ME) about her husband that we prayed for a few weeks ago. Here is the latest report from Murray. “My area of responsibility is now California to Guam to American Samoa, which includes over 2 million sq miles of US waters (almost 2/3rds) and international responsibilities covering 126 million sq miles of ocean. By comparison, total land area of earth is 57 million sq miles. So I cover more than twice the total land area of earth.” She asked for wisdom to deal with all matters in this area.
Audrey (CA) prayed for Suzanne, as they co-facilitated on the call together! She thanked God for Murray having the wisdom to move forward and be able to keep the environmentalists from causing them delays.
Ps Ioan shared Psalm 95:5 “The sea is His, for He made it;”…and said that the sea is the private domain of God.
A plane full of illegal immigrants just took off — and for once, American taxpayers didn’t foot the bill. The Uzbekistan government paid to fly their own citizens, who entered the U.S. illegally, back home under a landmark deal brokered by President Donald J. Trump’s Department of Homeland Security. They are calling it a model for how other nations should step up on immigration enforcement. Tom Homan is leading much of this crackdown.
Tom Homan is asked about Trump’s sanctuary city EO:
Reporter: “Why not just arrest the leaders who are harboring and shielding illegal aliens from deportation?”
Homan: “Wait until you see what’s coming.”
Maureen prayed into this matter of sanctuary cities…let righteousness and justice be released.
Ray (FL) leet their communications networks be broken…and bring a blanket of shame upon them according to Psalm 70. Let them repent and make restitution for the evil they have done to their people.
Audrey (CA) the sanctuary cities in the Bible were established in a righteous way, but these we have to tolerate despite the evil they do! They are dens of iniquity!
Andi (KS) let the Governors, Mayors, and officers who have supported sanctuary cities be put to shame, and realize that what they are doing in protecting those who cause problems in our country is wrong! She also prayed for those in ICE and others who are risking their lives to do this work!
Kay (IL) thanked God for the men and women willing to take those jobs in law enforcement who take the risks. We speak Your protection over them. Let them be safe in You, so the families who wait for them to return safely will see their loved ones return safely!
Carol (TX) thanked God for the strategies He is giving Tom Homan and others to remove these illegals. Let other nations follow suit…and come get their own people, so we can thwart these judges who are trying to thwart President Trump’s agenda
Mary Ellen (IL) give the leaders of the sanctuary city movement a conviction or knock them off their high horses, and change these cities for Your GLORY!
~~~
Just before 9 PM, we paused once more to pray for all J6 prisoners…
those who were or are still in prison, or who have been released and then rearrested.
We stand with them and their families until we they are all set free,
returned to their lives and loved ones, and compensated for the injustices they have suffered!
We then joined in singing the National Anthem from all across the nation.
~~~
Statements by President Trump:
“When Tariffs cut in, many people’s Income Taxes will be substantially reduced, maybe even completely eliminated. Focus will be on people making less than $200,000 a year. Also, massive numbers of jobs are already being created, with new plants and factories currently being built or planned.
It will be a BONANZA FOR AMERICA!!! THE EXTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE IS HAPPENING!!!”
~~~
“99.9% at the Border. Best number ever recorded. 3 people got in, versus hundreds of thousands in the last Administration. There has NEVER been such a difference before. Congratulations, America!”
~~~
“We need Courageous JUSTICE in our Country. If the Courts don’t allow what we have been allowed to do for 250 years, America can no longer be the same. Crooked Joe Biden will have destroyed our Country with his Open Border MADNESS, and allowing criminals of every type to enter with no Retribution. Murderers, Drug Dealers, Gang Members, and even the Mentally Insane will make their home in our Country, wreaking havoc like we have never seen before. It is not possible to have trials for millions and millions of people. We know who the Criminals are, and we must get them out of the U.S.A. – and FAST!”
We prayed corporately and then took individual prayers.
Mary Ellen (IL) The Congress has the power to deal with the judges, and can remove them.Let the GOP get together and pray and act! Let each one side with righteousness!
Audrey (CA) Patel wrote a book on Government Gangsters…judges who adjudicate unrighteously!
Mary Ellen (FL) the FL AG is standing up to judges here. There is a case going to the Appeals COurt to review.
Carol (TX) the judges in many states do not have to declare a political party (FLis one of them!) LEt there be transparency in the elections!

BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
NDP
From the earliest days of our Nation’s journey, America has been guided by the grace of Almighty God. Beginning with the opening prayer at the First Continental Congress in 1774, our faith has perpetually stood as the summit of our strength, the source of our unity, and the fount of our greatness. This National Day of Prayer, we thank God for His endless blessings ‑- and we ask Him to grant us fortitude, wisdom, and a renewed spirit of justice as we continue the work to save our country and restore our national promise.
Across every chapter of our grand American story — from General George Washington’s humble prayer at Valley Forge to Reverend Billy Graham’s legendary rallies in the heart of Manhattan to the somber National Prayer Service in the wake of the September 11, 2001 attacks, our greatest leaders have always recognized the necessity of faith, prayer, and devotion to God. As President Washington famously stated in his seminal Farewell Address, “Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity, religion and morality are indispensable supports.”
For these reasons, my Administration is fighting to defend America’s longstanding legacy of prayer, faith, and trust in God. As President, I proudly established Task Forces to eradicate religious bias by combatting anti-Semitic, anti-Christian, and additional forms of anti-religious bias. They are charged with the mandate to identify and eliminate all anti‑religious policies, practices, and conduct in executive departments and agencies. In addition, I established the White House Faith Office in order to strengthen our families and to protect our religious freedom. I will never waver in safeguarding the right to religious liberty and protecting God in our public square.
Nine months ago on July 13, 2024, my faith took on new meaning. An assassin’s bullet came within a quarter of an inch of ending my life. In that instant, as Secret Service crowded around and knocked me to the ground, I felt what seemed to be the supernatural hand of God. I believe that God spared my life for a reason — to save our country and restore America to greatness. It serves as a sacred reminder of our Creator’s infinite goodness, guidance, and grace.
Through America’s victories and defeats, triumphs and setbacks, and periods of peace and times of war, the divine force of prayer has unfailingly sustained our people, our culture, and our beloved Nation. It was faith that guided our ancestors across turbulent waters to Plymouth Rock. It was faith that inspired our Founding Fathers to put in writing those immortal words, “All men are created equal.” It is faith that freed our Nation from the clutches of tyranny nearly 250 years ago, and it is faith that has rescued our freedom from forces of evil time and time again.
This National Day of Prayer, we recognize that the true strength of the American spirit has always been found in churches, chapels, pews, parishes and synagogues, and the hearts and souls of our citizens of faith. Today and every day, we bow our heads in prayer to thank God for His countless gifts and to ask for His divine protection. Above all, we acknowledge that prayer is the foundation of our past, the guiding hand of our present, and the light of our future.
In 1988, the Congress, by Public Law 100-307, as amended, called on the President to issue each year a proclamation designating the first Thursday in May as a National Day of Prayer, “on which the people of the United States may turn to God in prayer and meditation at churches, in groups, and as individuals.”
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, do hereby proclaim May 1, 2025, as a National Day of Prayer. I encourage all Americans to observe this day, reflecting on the blessings our Nation has received and the importance of prayer, with appropriate programs, ceremonies, and activities in their houses of worship, communities, and places of work, schools, and homes.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this first day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty-five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
DONALD J. TRUMP
Ray (FL) said that he shared at the NDP in his city, and then he blew the shofar. It was a great gathering!
Ps Ioan said he remembered what took place when Biden was in “power”…bringing in false gods and permitting them to parade openly! NOW, PRESIDENT TRUMP IS HONORING the ONE TRUE GOD…and no other!
We prayed corporately into this BEAUTIFUL PROCLAMATION BY OR BELOVED PRESIDENT, and invited others to pray!
Marie (OK) has been diagnosed with a serious condition and asked for prayer.
Maureen prayed for her and we all agreed!
Audrey (CA) said to go to whitehuse.gov and see the entire Proclamation and PRAY IT!
Stephanie (TX) prayed Psalm 33 over President Trump and asked that the bad reports in the media wil cease…and that the eyes of the African Americans are now open to the lies of the DEMS, and they are being BOLD. Let the CHURCH RISE UP AND BE BOLD as light and salt!
We sang out: BE BOLD, BE STRONG, FOR THE LORD THY GOD IS WITH YOU!
~~~
Another testimony to our President’s character and faith!
Dr. Phil McGraw, known for his hit TV show ”Dr Phil”, spoke during the ceremony, sharing he was glad to “see religion coming back to the White House.” He also attested to Trump’s faith based on their private interactions when cameras are off. “I’ve sat with President Trump with no cameras around, nobody listening, nobody watching, and I’m telling you, this is a man of deep faith, a man of deep conviction,” he said to applause.

“ALERT: All purchases of Iranian Oil, or Petrochemical products, must stop, NOW! Any Country or person who buys ANY AMOUNT of OIL or PETROCHEMICALS from Iran will be subject to, immediately, Secondary Sanctions. They will not be allowed to do business with the United States of America in any way, shape, or form. Thank you for your attention to this matter,”
PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP
~~~
“I am pleased to announce that I will be nominating Mike Waltz to be the next United States Ambassador to the United Nations. From his time in uniform on the battlefield, in Congress and, as my National Security Advisor, Mike Waltz has worked hard to put our Nation’s Interests first. I know he will do the same in his new role. In the interim, Secretary of State Marco Rubio will serve as National Security Advisor, while continuing his strong leadership at the State Department. Together, we will continue to fight tirelessly to Make America, and the World, SAFE AGAIN. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”

SPEAKER JOHNSON DROPS BOMBSHELL: COURTS ON CHOPPING BLOCK!
In a bold and necessary move, House Speaker Mike Johnson has issued a stark warning to the far-left activist judges waging lawfare against President Donald J. Trump. Since his triumphant return to the White House on January 20, 2025, President Trump has faced an unprecedented wave of politically motivated legal attacks—137 cases in less than two months, with only two closed. This is not justice; this is a judicial insurrection, as Senior Counsel Josh Hammer of the Article III Project rightly called it on The War Room with Steve Bannon.
The radical left, unable to defeat Trump at the ballot box, has weaponized the courts to sabotage his presidency. During his first term, Trump faced 65 nationwide injunctions—already an outrageous number. But now, the lawfare has escalated to staggering levels, with activist judges—many appointed by Biden and Obama—issuing reckless rulings designed to obstruct the will of the American people.
Speaker Johnson, finally recognizing the existential threat posed by these rogue judges, declared that CONGRESS HAS THE AUTHORITY TO DEFUND AND EVEN DISBAND THESE LAWLESS COURTS. In a statement that sent shockwaves through the liberal media, Johnson said
“We do have authority over the federal courts, as you know. We can eliminate an entire district court. We have power over funding for the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act. So stay tuned for that.”
This is a long-overdue response to the left’s judicial tyranny. The Supreme Court, sadly, has failed to rein in these activist judges, leaving Congress as the last line of defense. The liberal media, of course, is in full panic mode, framing Johnson’s warning as an “attack on democracy.” But what about the real attack on democracy—unelected judges legislating from the bench to undermine a duly elected president?
HALLELUYAH!
~~~
We sang to the Lord: I SING PRAISES TO YOUR NAME!
Led by Merry in TN and Teddi (TN) we received the elements and then closed the call wishing one another.
Before we closed the call, Ps Ioan asked forgiveness from any members of the 24/7 family who have experienced any hurt through him. That was well received by those on the call, and we’re sure that God was smiling!
“SHABBAT SHALOM!”
In His love!
Maureen and Ps Ioan
