We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call.
In taking measures to protect and defend our 24/7 family, at the top of every hour,
the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss, then pray a shield of protection over this line and our 24/7 family!
*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!
As he and the First Lady depart Japan, our prayers undergird and bless them!
We pray for their protection and we cover them with the Blood of Jesus.
We bless their son Barron and each of their family members, committing them to Your care, Lord
We cover our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those serving in this Administration.
We also bless the members of the Federal Reserve Board along with those who are part of our nation’s banking system which impacts our economy! May Jerome H. Powell, Richard H. Clarida,
Randal K. Quarles, Michelle W. Bowman, and Lael Brainard serve with integrity and honor!
The 24/7 NSPC is calling the Body of Christ nationwide to pray for the 2020 National Elections,
mobilizing intercessors and positioning ourselves in prayer before the Lord
on behalf of our President and nation!
COUNTDOWN: 526 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
From that time Jesus began to preach and to say, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Matthew 4:17
Strategic Focus for Tuesday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES
Franklin Graham “DECISION AMERICA” Northeast Tour
Day 6 – Bridgeport, Connecticut (CT)
“…faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Romans 10:17
Tonight, May 28th, and running through Thursday, May 30th, Franklin Graham continues to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ at a series of one-night rallies in seven states as he tours New England and New York. On each of these seven nights, believers have been coming together with Franklin, as he calls the lost and those who are far from God to repentance and faith, and prays for the families and churches in each community. If you live in or close to Bridgeport, you are invited to join in the “on-site” intercession. If not, join us as we pray corporately “off-site” for this Northeast Tour on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call!
- Portland, ME Sunday, May 19th, 7:30 pm Cumberland County Fairgrounds
- Burlington, VT Tuesday, May 21st, 7:30 pm Champlain Valley Exposition

- Bridgeport, CT Tuesday, May 28th, 7:30 pm Seaside Park
- Syracuse, NY Thursday, May 30th, 7:30 pm Lakeview Amphitheater
The picture below was taken on Thursday evening, at the event in Manchester, NH. Throughout the day, the prayer was that God would hold off the rain for the event. There was a sprinkle of rain as Franklin started to preach, and then the skies began to open up and clear. Thank God for answering prayer and for the many hearts He touched through Franklin’s ministry and the people of God reaching out to others in their community!
Tonight, those in or near Bridgeport, Connecticut are invited to bring family and friends to Seaside Park, at 1 Barnum Dyke Bridgeport, CT 06604 as the DECISION AMERICA Northeast Tour continues. It will feature live music by “Crowder” and a message of hope from Franklin Graham! No permanent seating provided, please bring chairs and blankets. No drones will be permitted in the event area. Free limited parking available in Marina Park and on Marina Park Circle, Waldemere Avenue and on Soundview Drive (East of PT Barnum Statue). The gates will open at 6 PM. Additional free parking available at the University of Bridgeport. Parking lots identified by “P”.
Sharing the hope of Christ in America’s Northeast is no easy feat. Franklin has said that “the most critical thing you can do is pray, pray, pray. The intercession of God’s people is crucial if we are to see a return to the Biblical faith of our fathers, the faith that has guided and sustained our country for so long.” We agree, and we are interceding along with Cindy Scott, National Prayer Coordinator for the “Decision America Tour” and the Billy Graham Evangelical Association. Along with thousands across this country, we will see the KING OF GLORY welcomed and received as He should be in the Northeast part of our nation!
We pray:
- That the people of God, the church in Connecticut, will extend invitations to the “non-churched” to join them for this event in Bridgeport. Let them be bold in asking!
- For Franklin and his ministry to the people of the state of Connecticut, that as he speaks, the Spirit of God will move upon the hearts of the people, and many will open their hearts to Christ and receive Him as their Savior and Lord!
Historical Information about the State of Connecticut: sent in by 24/7 Texas SPC leader Sherrill Boyd.
FIRST GREAT AWAKENING In order to have an “awakening”, an entity has to be asleep or dead. That was America’s condition prior to The Great Awakening, a sovereign move of the Holy Spirit took place during the 1730’s and 1740’s.
- At that time, itinerant ministers presented powerful messages of salvation and stirred up a greater sense of nationality in Americans.
- In the Connecticut River Valley, under the leadership of Jonathan Edwards, a change of values affected politics and daily life, cultivating attitudes of a sense of independence and equality that would set the stage for the American Revolution.
- A contemporary Harvard professor wrote that “one cannot understand the colonial society that brought about the American Revolution without a study of the Great Awakening.”
- When the Awakening began, Edwards was a pastor in Northampton, Massachusetts. The move began to spread up and down the Connecticut River Valley. It was a sovereign move of the Holy Spirit in spite of the non-emotional reading of his sermons while holding his notes close to his face. He was as surprised as anyone when people began to show emotional responses to the Presence of the Holy Spirit, with shaking, trembling, swooning in the Spirit, and deep repentance of sin.
What caused this sudden intervention of the Holy Spirit? People praying for Divine intervention. As always, prayer was the prerequisite and a “forerunner” for “awakening.”
At the same time, there was another awakening taking place in England, where George Whitfield, was being used to fan the flames of revival. When Whitfield came to America to preach on the East Coast in the colonies, he and Jonathan Edwards became friends. He also became a close friend of Benjamin Franklin and was used to greatly influence the colonies to fight for their independence.
Connecticut has a town structure that is quite different from most other states. The entire state is divided into 169 towns, so that all the land in the state is assigned to a town. This differs from other parts of the US where large areas of land are considered “unincorporated.”
We pray:
- That the mantle of Jonathan Edwards will be given to Franklin Graham as he moves along a similar path of the First Great Awakening on this Decision America Tour throughout the Northeastern States.
- That conditions are ripe for another Great Awakening in the NE United States and many will be joining in prayer as we together say: ”COME, HOLY SPIRIT and touch our people! Awaken us to Your love!”
- For the people of the state of Connecticut (CT). During this North East Tour, may the Word of God be released throughout this state, to the families and communities in great need of the GOOD NEWS that Franklin Graham is going to bring. Give them the opportunity to hear the Gospel and receive salvation through Jesus Christ…the rightful inheritance of every person in the state!
- For this, “The Constitution State” or “The Nutmeg State” whose motto is: “He who is transplanted still sustains” (in Latin: “Qui transtulit sustinet”).
- For the Capitol city of Hartford, and all the cities of Connecticut, including Bridgeport, New Haven, Stamford and Waterbury.
- For Connecticut’s elected officials, and for those serving in each branch of government and in civil service jobs, that each will honor God in all they do!
- For their Governor: Ned Lamont (D)
- For their two US Senators: Richard Blumenthal (D) to be removed from US Senate and Christopher Murphy (D)
- For their five US Representatives: John Larson, Joe Courtney, Pose DeLauro, James Hines and Jahana Hayes (all Democrats)
- For the members of the State House (91 Dems-60 Rep) and the members of the State Senate (22 Dems-14 Rep)
- For the divisions of the Connecticut judicial system: Supreme, Appellate, Superior, and trial courts, and for their judges, attorneys and support staff
- For all military and law enforcement personnel serving the state.
- For the economy and the industries of Connecticut, all of which are highly diversified. Early settlers realized that the geography wasn’t suited for agriculture, so manufacturing and financial services took precedence… all the way back to their colonial days. It has been the insurance capital of America since the late 18th century, and it has led in shipbuilding for whaling and the military since the 1840s.

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for our President and his Administration
As our President and First Lady return home to the United States, we cover them and all those on AIR FORCE ONE with the Blood of Jesus, and ask the Lord to protect, renew and refresh them as they travel! We rejoice in the positive reception they received in Japan, and look forward to continued good relations with this nation that was once our enemy!
We pray:
- That in the Reiwa era, ushered in by the succession of Crown Prince Naruhito as Emperor of Japan, that there will be a fresh wind of the Spirit spreading the seeds of the gospel across that nation, and that they will take root and produce a bountiful harvest for the Kingdom of God there!
- May the Son of God arise with healing in His wings over the “Land of the Rising Sun”, steeped in Shinto and Buddhist practices, so that the people there will be set free to know, love and serve the Living God.
