11-10-23 Notes from the “International SHABBAT Celebration”
24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
7-10 PM ET 712-770-4340 code: 543555 #
Tonight, we are celebrating our 7 Year Anniversary of the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call and the Welcome the King of Glory ministry! That is 61,320 consecutive hours of prayer…
offered up by who knows how many intercessors on the line at any given hour!
We praise God for bringing us together and holding us together through thick and thin for the past 7 years. Together, we beseech Him to allow us to fulfill the 12-year assignment He’s given us…and well beyond, if He chooses…for His GLORY and HONOR! Thank You, Lord! We prayed corporately in gratitude for the way the Lord has led and guided us these past 7 years!
Thank You, Lord!
Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord! We just want to thank You, Lord!
You’ve been so good! You’ve been so good! You’ve been so good! We just want to thank You, Lord!
Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord! Thank You, Lord! We just want to thank You, Lord!
We just want to thank, we just want to thank, we just want to thank, You, Lord!
Great is Thy Faithfulness
Great is Thy faithfulness, O God my Father. There is no shadow of turning with Thee.
Thou changest not, Thy compassions, they fail not. As Thou hast been, Thou forever wilt be.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning, new mercies I see.
All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.
Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, sun, moon and stars in their courses above,
Join with all nature in manifold witness to Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love.
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning, new mercies I see.
All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.
Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, Thine own dear Presence to cheer and to guide;
Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside!
Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Morning by morning, new mercies I see.
All I have needed, Thy hand hath provided. Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me.

After we worshiped, Lois (NY) led us in receiving the armor of God, according to Ephesians 6:10-18.
“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.”
We prayed corporately, receiving God’s full armor, asking that we will afford it the dignity it deserves
and be able to properly radiate His character and attributes as we wear it.
~~~
Prayer requests:
We continue to pray for total VICTORY in Israel and for a swift end to the terrorist group Hamas and others aligned with them who, through their hatred of God and Israel, seek to destroy it and kill all Jews worldwide! (The good news is that the Israeli army (IDF) is now taking over all of Gaza, and the terrorists are fleeing in terror before them like rats deserting a sinking ship! PM Netanyahu announced that Israel will not allow Hamas to come back into power and further afflict the people who live on that land! We also pray for our own United States of America, that it will be protected and preserved from any and all attacks on our soil. Lord, have mercy on us!
As we celebrate this anniversary, we joyously remember all the wonderful things that God has done! Maureen and Pastor Ioan have set aside time tonight for those on the call to share their experiences of being part of this God-birthed, life-giving, intercessory prayer initiative!
Maureen invited Pastor Ioan to start us off. He shared how he had been involved in prayer ministry in his homeland and globally, and as the election of 2016 approached, he answered a call to come and pray at the US National Prayer Assembly in DC in October 2016. There, he shared a word that Donald Trump would be the next President of the USA. When the NPA concluded, he returned to Corona, CA, and over the next few days, continued to pray with those who had been at the NPA on behalf of the eventual Trump VICTORY!
Today, he sees the return of President Trump to the White House, the raising up of the Tabernacle of David, a worldwide revival, and a tremendous end-time harvest of souls! Be ready! The REVIVAL is coming!
We invite you to do so now:
Ydia (FL) we were praying during the Primary, thrilled that we finally had a great candidate in Donald Trump.
Nancy (MN) didn’t get on the call until after election day, and at the beginning, I didn’t really know how to do this, and got on periodically, and now consider myself as part of the 24/7 family these past 7 years. God is using us and expects us to be obedient to His call. It’s a privilege to be on it and to get to know people by voice!
Marsha (CA) What I love about this is how I came in. I was praying with Dai Sup and part of the ASK network. Dai Sup rallied us to pray together. When the 24/7 started, there were 47 prayer ministries working together. AMAZING! It was such an exciting time to see God make all these wonderful friendships…and we love how we can recognize each others’ voices.
Sally (WY) Came in through Gathering of Eagles, who told us there were people praying on a call…and I joined in! Then he won and we continued on the call! I remember the warfare over Yellowstone, and how after we Welcomed the king of Glory there, the buffalo were lying down and at peace. I think about Alaska and the whale coming close to the shore and jumping up on the ice, and in Orlando, how the fish at Lake Eola were jumping up out of the water — all of that was to the glory of God! I found my voice on this call! God makes a way, and I bless you all and I know where I’ll be for the next 5 years…on the call. It gives me great security to know that!
(Pastor Ioan calls Sally a “lioness”…she is a champion who courageously goes for it!)
Mary Ellen (IL) before 2008, I was part of a small prayer group at a church that was going nowhere. I listened to Focus on the Family and knew that Shirley Dobson was involved in NDP, and I connected through them with a local DCP group. In 2015-16, when Donald Trump was running for office, I knew we needed a business person in the WH. There were a few of us in IL who were praying together, Dee Ott and a couple. He got elected and one day, Dee told me about the 24/7. So, I called Fatima and got involved in the summer after he took office…in December 2017. I didn’t want to facilitate, but when Maureen called me, I couldn’t say no. Now, I send you info when I see good material for focuses, and this is where my ministry is!
Donna (MT) on the Day of Atonement, we were at Rhonda’s cabin, and Maureen was leading prayer every 3 hours around the clock. I was sitting in church and say the word spelled out T-R-U-M-P! We began joining the 3-hour prayer with Maureen, and when she asked us to join the 24/7 and Rhonda agreed to partner with me, we did it! The first or second night, Barbara Ingmire was on with us and shared about Montana’s role in The Prophetic Destiny of a Nation, and the 24/7 was embedded in my life. Rhonda, Connie, Wanda, and Diane, along with Sheryl from CA, guard and protect that hour…Donna and Rhonda for the past 7 years.
Rhonda (MT) It’s not been an easy 7 years, but I would not trade it for anything. We have people who pray in the background, like Valerie from LA who is our prayer shield for us.
(Pastor Ioan said that when we went there to WTKOG, on the first assignment we were called to worship continually as we drove into the north gate of Yellowstone Park. Pastor Ioan said we noted that there was no JOY there, and he made us aware that there were sentinels of darkness there, watching us. At one point, Donna’s car stopped and we couldn’t get it started, and Cheryl stepped in front of and stopped a truck to get us help! Once going, Donna “willed” the car to work…and we got back to home base safely! *** When the shofars sounded, people came from every direction to WTKOG! )
As Pastor Ioan prepared to withdraw to go back to the meeting he was attending, he spoke of the nations who will be involved in the end times revival and the connection (of a child’s birth) with the raising up of the Tabernacle of David, where the peoples of the world will connect in worship and prayer. As he reconnects with those involved in the Jesus Film Project, he will encourage them to partner with us in all the above. We have upcoming assignments in American Samoa, in Egypt, in Asia, and in Russia…to serve Notices of Eviction to the ruling demonic entities who have too long held sway there. We will learn more about that in the coming days.
Beverly (CA) prayed for Pastor Ioan as he departed for his meeting, and blessed him as he connects! Then she shared her story. After President Trump was elected, she heard about the call from a friend, and started listening in…and loved it. She started praying on the call, and then one day, she got a call from Fatima, who invited her to facilitate. She said “YES” and followed the MT group during her hour! Pat from MS is now her co-facilitator, and the rest is history! It’s been such a blessing…I went to DC twice with the group, and when you meet people in person, it’s such a joy! I feel very privileged to have found it…and all of you!
Susan (GA) she didn’t know about the group until she saw posts on FB…and got curious and finally called in. November 3rd was my 5th year anniversary for the 24/7. That first year, I got on at midnight, as a first fruit offering with Donna and Rhonda. On March 4, 2019, God told her to “march forth for GA”, and Maureen called her to serve as the Coordinator for the 24/7 GA SPC. The 24/7 has been part of bringing me back from death’s door. The triumph yesterday was finally having that tube out of my stomach! She said the Lord showed her that this is “a time of suddenlies”…she found 40 examples in Scripture…She shared 5…(Acts 9:3, Mark 9:8, Acts 2:2, Luke 2:13, Acts 16:26)
Brad (DC) shared that Debbie (TX) connected with him when looking for a place to stay in DC. Brad picked them up at the airport each time they came to DC. He took them to their cabin in VA. He began coming on the call in 2021, and loves it! He gave us an update about the conference he just attended and it was phenomenal…as they learned about those who served and sacrificed it all in the American Revolution. He met and spoke to Bridget Gabriel (Act for America.org) who was the keynote speaker.
Tesi (FL) I was on the prayer call for the November 8th election for days before the vote…and how you were praying every three hours…around the clock. I used to just listen and wasn’t sure if I could pray “right” and then I was on the call at midnight for years. Fatima called and asked me to facilitate, and then later I took another hour. I was in DC twice, and got to meet so many of the ones who have spoken tonight! I know you! I am more convinced than ever that God has orchestrated this and those we are to connect with in our lives. I thank the Lord, for I have grown so much on this prayer call…I love you and you are my family! I am staying here for the next 5 years…or for however long He allows it!
Carol (NY) YES and AMEN to all that’s been said. What a blessing it’s been to be part of this 24/7 family. I heard of this through Desiree who said I was being called as an intercessor for the nation and gave me this number to call in! I remember people sobbing after I prayed…and they said they didn’t think people in NYC were saved! When we give our name and state before we pray, it breaks down the barriers and brings sich unity and love between us, across the nation…and is a foretaste of ONE NEW MAN…and that is why its o powerful. I invited my brother John from NJ to join and he was a new believer…who studied and prepared for every time he came on, and to see him foolish was such a blessing! We traveled to DC 3 times, and to PA, and lamented over not being able to go to Jerusalem this time. Such love in the 24/7 family…and such a blessing to have these connections…and we know that we will all someday be together for eternity!
~~~
We paused just before 9 PM, and Carol (NY) led us in singing the National Anthem,
united from our 50 states across the nation!
Having prayed on-site for them in DC, we prayed corporately
and committed to continue to stand with them and their families,
asking that they would be set free, return to their lives and loved ones,
and be compensated for the injustice they have suffered!
~~~
We continued sharing our reflections on our participation on the 24/7 call:
Diane (MT) has so many memories and is so thankful for this call, and though I may not get sleep at times, it’s well worth it! It’s fun to see how John and Carol have such different accents and are brother and sister.
Mary Ellen (IL) thanked Diane for being with her on the call when no one else was on after Repeka got so sick! It was the Holy Spirit Who brought us together.
Peter (FL) this goes back further than 7 years, as I knew Maureen as someone who was always recruiting for prayer. The prayer networks across the state of FL are amazing. Tesi is so faithful and she encourages me to stay on the 24/7 FL SPC, and we are preparing to steward the greatest outpouring in history! We are to go and make disciples.
Joan (AZ) there is nobody like the 24/7 NSPC…the love that pours out is great! Today, we had our 24/7 AZ SPC and we spoke about a gold net across the nation that Maureen had shared about several years ago. I started with the 24/7 when Louise took me to the meeting where we WTKOG into Phoenix, AZ. For me the call is a lifeline…so many are so precious to me and I’ll never forget the trip to Philadelphia where I represented the Penn family, of whom I’m descended. It was so easy to be together and to share together and to see how we care for one another. During COVID, I got on the call and it brought me through! Our 24/7 AZ SPC is wonderful, and it goes so well. I won’t miss that one if I can help it! We can call in and speak together with people across the nation as if they were in our living room! I never thought of anything like it…it’s special and I love it!
Nadine (TX) I got on as it started, and I kept on and when I joined in on the WTKOG into Houston, TX on April 21, 2019, I was amazed at how I felt the Spirit! Carrying the cross in public was such a blessing as people waved and honked at us! I have the declaration hanging on my wall…and see it all the time. That day, I started singing and we all joined in, singing, hearing the Word, and people started to gather around us…coming closer to listen, and bringing their children along to hear what we were doing. There was a man who asked what we were doing, and I got one of the pastors to talk to him…and a few minutes later, he walked through the door and into salvation! So many things happened that day…and lives were touched and changed! She shared how one thing leads to another in praying for people…as we take one step at a time!
Margie (LA) A monumental anniversary for sure; so sorry I missed it! Remember so well the day our faithful leaders initiated the Call for 100 days; little did we know we would be continuing here 7 years & counting! What a high & holy privilege we’ve been granted to partner with Almighty God & awesome intercessors in the 24/7 NSPC!! Heartfelt Thanks & tremendous appreciation to our faithful leaders, Maureen Bravo, & Pastor Ioan for their faithful perseverance in this epic assignment!!
Randy (FL) Thank you to all the prayer warriors who have kept the prayers going. Happy Anniversary Maureen! You are such a blessing to the Body of Christ
Louise (AZ) Congratulations and thank you for your faithfulness! Sorry, I couldn’t be on. Abundant blessings to you and Pastor Ione.
Daniel (TX) enjoyed pushing Joan around Philly, and the prayer felt during assignments, I’ve learned patience on the call, and it’s a blessing and I’ve learned a lot as we pray across the nation and planet.
Debbie (TX) so many memories…Richard (AK) is willing to give his life for the mission, worshiping in AK under the Aurora Borealis, and so many adventures. We cried together, laughed together and the beauty of the diversity is amazing. The 2×2 prayer structure, the family that Maureen and Ps Ioan have brought together, the love and not competing but completing! Such an honor and privilege to be part of it!
Cindy (SC) I got on in November before the President was elected when I got an email about the call you were going, before the 24/7. Since co-facilitating, I’ve come out of my shell. The worship at the DC Gulag was wonderful, and the worship and dance at the Prayer Tower, and Evy and all. The weekend before the election, Jane from MD sent me a picture of roses encouraging me, with Isaiah 60 on it! I won the election and I love everybody on the call…it’s wonderful to meet them face to face.
Marie (OK) even though we haven’t met, I know them through their voices…You are so gracious, too, Maureen. I started when I met Linda Lemkin in CA, and she was dancing and sharing about Israel. Soon after, I met Philip Lemkin, and his prayers were powerful. I invited them to a Messianic Christian Fellowship, and he gave his testimony on a local radio station. The Lemkins were part of our lives and introduced us to the 24/7 prayer line and WTKOG until we moved to OK. I’d been praying for President Trump on my own, so I joined the 1 PM call he hosted. Then I learned about the SHABBAT CALL and was drawn to that…and prayed on the hours following on Friday night! I finally didn’t feel alone and had others who understood what was happening to our nation! When Philip went into a coma, I asked everyone to pray..and then the Lord called him home.
Albert (CA) said Linda Lemkin prays with him each day, and he continues to blow Phillip’s shofar she gave him!

Housekeeping note to our 24/7 family facilitators: This year, Christmas is on a Monday, and we’re already getting requests for SUBS for that day. Most of us have families, large or small, and we know that many will travel, however, the call needs to go on, so please plan your time accordingly. If you must be otherwise occupied during your assigned hour, please switch with another facilitator, and if you absolutely need a SUB, please ask those who are on the call with you during your regular hour to cover for you! (Remember: they must be trained facilitators!) Our thanks to each of you for carrying your share of the load, so no one is overwhelmed. PS…If some of you do not have plans on Christmas Day and can cover an hour that might need help, please let Maureen know ASAP! 407-810-4665 or maureen.carson.bravo@gmail.com

As we close, here is a letter that can be used to encourage President Trump. Feel free to copy and send it when you take the time to write to him each month! (Hint! Hint!)
President Donald Trump
The Mar-a-Lago Club
1100 South Ocean Boulevard
Palm Beach, Florida 33450
November 11, 2023
Dear President Trump,
Today, as our 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call family celebrates our 7th Anniversary of praying 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for you, I want to encourage you! They’ve threatened you with LIFE IN PRISON… dragged your name through the mud…bled you of millions of dollars in legal fees… attempted to derail your campaign… manufactured false charges against you…attempted to humiliate you…but through it all, we of the 24/7 have NEVER turned our backs on you.
The polls are proof that every threat, arrest, and gag order is only making our movement stronger than EVER. The left’s assault is backfiring! We’ve had ENOUGH. We will continue to echo YOUR voice, even when the corrupt DOJ muzzles you because you have always been OUR voice when we needed you most.
We of the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call family will always love and stand with you.
May God bless and keep you always!
(YOUR NAME)

As we prepared to close the call, Maureen asked us to remember her son-in-love Ryan before the Lord!. He has entered rehab for inpatient detox and treatment, and she is praying for a transforming impact on his life so that he and her daughter Erin’s relationship, marriage, and family (of two boys Noah 17, and Carter 15) can be restored. Join her in praying for Ryan and all those who are trapped in addictions to alcohol, or any other evil that brings about the destruction of marriage and family. Thank you!
We shared in communion, led by Albert (CA) and Bobbie (NC) then sang “SHABBAT SHALOM!”
Maureen closed this wonderful call with love and blessings to all as we prepare to launch into our 8th year!
