“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!
“Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at His footstool – He is holy.”
Psalm 99:5
We sing: Here I Am to Worship
Light of the world, You stepped down into darkness, opened my eyes let me see
Beauty that made this heart adore You. Hope of a life spent with You!
And here I am to worship. Here I am to bow down. Here I am to say that You’re my God!
You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me!
King of all days, oh, so highly exalted, glorious in heaven above.
Humbly you came to the earth you created, all for love’s sake became poor/
Here I am to worship. Here I am to bow down. Here I am to say that You’re my God!
You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to me!
I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross!
I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross!
I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross!
I’ll never know how much it cost to see my sin upon that cross!
Here I am to worship. Here I am to bow down. Here I am to say that You’re my God!
You’re altogether lovely, altogether worthy, altogether wonderful to 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.
For protection, provision, and peace for Professor / Patriot David Clements and his family,
and all working with him to expose the fraud and corruption of the 2020 election!
Pray.
Strategic Focus for Friday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
ONE NATION UNDER GOD, INDIVISIBLE, WITH LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
THE REDEMPTION OF THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC – Part 126
“Listen to counsel and receive instruction, that you may be wise in your latter days.”
Proverbs 18:20
There’s a saying: “Advice is cheap.” Many offer it, and often have no real understanding of what they are talking about! BUT Godly counsel and instruction are precious, and those who are wise will seek it …and follow up on what they have learned!
“Where there is no counsel, the people fall; but in the multitude of counselors there is safety.”
Proverbs 11:14
Pray
In response to a request from Pastor Ioan to help us understand what is currently going on with the US economy and inflation, Professor Dr. David Wolfe wrote the following for our 24.7 family. Let us read and pray into what our dear friend David has to say.
It’s an honor for me to answer some questions and contribute to the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call. Specifically, we need to know how we can pray and how we can act wisely regarding the roller-coaster financial markets and inflationary trends.
It’s no news to you that the government is spending money it doesn’t have. The national debt (Total Public Debt Outstanding) as of 4/25/2022 is at $30.4 Trillion. To give us perspective, if the borrowing were at $1 Billion per day, the borrowing would have had to start when Adolf Hitler invaded Poland! People are becoming aware of this tremendous debt. And people have become aware of the $6/gallon prices at the gas pump: Inflation is currently (as of last month) at 8.5%, the highest rate in 40 years (December, 1981). As if that were not enough, we are all watching the Covid panic and the war in Europe. This awareness has spooked people a bit on their investing, and we’ve noticed it in our recent returns: All of us have! Pray.
A word about what we can do in practicality as far as our own investments are concerned: As I mentioned to one of our clients recently, the Dow Jones Industrial Average (performance of 30 huge companies in the U.S.) is down to 32,781, which concerns people who were used to the investment frenzy of recent years, but 5 short years ago it was barely at 20,000. What’s my message here? American business has always returned. Don’t make long-term decisions based on short-term information. Don’t fret: Psalm 37:25 says, “I’ve been young and now am old, and I’ve never seen the righteous forsaken nor his seed begging for bread.” Pray.
I’ve been a financial advisor for 38 years and a securities principal for 33 years. I’ve invested through ecstatic markets, recession, several market “crashes”, war in various locations around the globe, and I’ve held out, because the 2 basic principles of Christian finances are:
1) Trust God.
2) Go with conventional wisdom to never make decisions based on fear, but on historical facts.
Pray.
How to pray?
- First of all, putting others first: the suffering in and around Ukraine is really intense. Loss of children, parents, homes, lack of food and other basics is a concentration for our prayer. Pray.
- We need to pray for the midterm elections to begin to make governmental changes that are desperately needed. Pray.
- If President Trump doesn’t move into the White House before, we need to pray about who will be there on January 20th, 2025! God is able to use anyone of His choice, but as you know, prayer will move the hand of God. Pray.
- Finally, we need to pray for ourselves, that we will make wise, lasting decisions for our families. Asking for God’s guidance and financial protection for ourselves isn’t selfish; it’s crucial! Pray.
– Dr. Dave Wolfe
We pray:
- As You lovingly guard and protect our 24/7 family with the Blood of Jesus, we thank You for providing us with Godly counsel in every area of our lives. We bless David Wolfe and thank him for the counsel he offered us today! Pray.
Taking to heart what Dr. Wolfe has shared, let us ask God to give us wisdom as to how we are to handle our current circumstances and also prepare for the future. Let us do so in ways that will honor Him and sustain us and our loved ones! Pray.
“A wise man will hear and increase learning, and a man of understanding will attain wise counsel.”
Proverbs 1:5
Pray.
“Therefore whoever hears these sayings of Mine, and does them,
I will liken him to a wise man who built his house on the rock: and the rain descended, the floods came,
and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it did not fall, for it was founded on the rock.
But everyone who hears these sayings of Mine, and does not do them,
will be like a foolish man who built his house on the sand:
and the rain descended, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house; and it fell.
And great was its fall.”
Matthew 7:24-27
Pray
Coming from a different perspective but still in the investment realm, Warren Buffett, CEO and Vice Chairman Charlie Munger of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. discussed a wide range of topics at their annual meeting in Omaha, Nebraska recently. He says:
“You don’t need to be a rocket scientist.
Investing is not a game where the guy with 160 IQ beats the guy with 130 IQ.”
Here are the “takeaways” from their remarks. As we read through them, let us discern their value to us, and continue to pray for wisdom in the area of economics!
1- Productive Assets Versus Bitcoin
Buffett said bitcoin is useless. He prefers productive assets like farmland and apartment buildings.
- “If the people in this room owned all of the farmland in the United States and you offered me a 1% interest in it … for $25 billion, I will write you a check this afternoon,” he said. “It’s very simple.” “If you told me you own all the Bitcoin in the world, and you offered it to me for $25, I wouldn’t take it because what would I do with it?” he said. “That explains the difference between productive assets and something that depends on the next guy paying you more than the last guy got,” he elaborated. Pray.
- Berkshire Vice Chairman Charlie Munger added. “I got some advice for you too. When you have your own retirement account and your friendly adviser suggests you put all the money in Bitcoin, just say ‘no.’” Pray.
2- Inflation ‘Swindles Almost Everybody’
Inflation has surged in the United States, hitting a new 40-year annualized high of 8.5% in March. Federal Reserve policymakers appear set to deliver a series of aggressive interest rate hikes to cool prices. Buffett said he did not know what level inflation would be in the next month or decade, but that rising prices were having an impact. “Inflation in our own business, it’s extraordinary how much we’ve seen,” Buffett said. “For two years the prices have kept coming in higher. ”Inflation swindles the bond investor…it swindles the person who keeps their cash under their mattress, it swindles almost everybody,” Buffett said. Pray.
3- Wall Street Runs a “Gambling” Business
Buffett picked on a favored target, Wall Street, saying the stock market sometimes resembled a casino or gambling partner. The market is investment-oriented sometimes, but it’s almost totally a casino and gambling parlor at other times. Wall Street’s gambling “existed to an extraordinary degree in the last couple of years, encouraged by Washington money,” he said. “They don’t make money unless people do things, and they get a piece of them. They make a lot more money when people are gambling than when they are investing. It’s much better to have somebody that’s going to trade 20 times a day, and they’re all excited about it…just like pulling the handle of a slot machine,” he added. Pray.
We pray:
- In gratitude for wise counsel as to how we might protect and care for our families in this changing world! We do trust You, Lord, and cast all our cares upon You today! Pray.
- For wisdom as to how we are to handle our finances and investments, for Your glory! Pray.
- For our nation to recover from the imbalance and uncertainty of living under the faux Biden administration,
- For a return to sanity with President Trump. Help him make the crucial decisions that will facilitate his return to the White House. Pray.
- Lord God, protect our nation from both external and internal war, and bring Your solutions to the conflicts at hand! Pray.
- Let the light of Christ flood the nations, drawing all men to You! Pray.
- To get our homes 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.
