“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”

We begin our hour by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Have I not commanded you? Be strong and of good courage; do not be afraid, nor be dismayed,
for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
Joshua 1:9
We sing: Be Bold! Be Strong!
Be Bold! Be Strong! For the Lord your God is with you!
Be Bold! Be Strong! For the Lord your God is with you!
I am not afraid, I am not dismayed, because I’m walking in faith and victory.
Come on and walk in faith and victory.
For the Lord your God is with you!
(repeat)
~~~
For us to receive and put on the Ephesians 6 “full armor of God” as we begin this hour,
that we might be protected as we stand in the gap for our country!
Pray.
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.
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 David Clements, as he undertakes the assignment to connect with President Trump,
to see the declaration of a National Day of Repentance in which all Americans can take part!
Pray.
For protection, provision, and peace for our new Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson,
and 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.
Strategic Focus for Thursday
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 533
The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 423
“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,
then you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.”
Ephesians 6:10-13
Rabbi Jonathan Cahn did a recorded powerful interview with Pastor Gary Hamrick, which we have transcribed for our 24/7 family to pray into. As we begin to review it, let it be a reminder to us of the things we learned from Cahn’s book: THE RETURN OF THE GODS!
Gary: All right, Jonathan, I’m going to open up with a scripture passage that I think kind of summarizes where we’re going. (Ephesians 6) We don’t blame everything on the devil, but in a sense, we can…because we live in a fallen world. But clearly, things that are happening, the craziness in our culture, all of the evil and the madness, that is, in part, the theme of THE RETURN OF THE GODS. Why did you feel led to write it? Why is it the most explosive thing you’ve written so far?
Jonathan: One, it’s happening. It’s accelerating. We’re all dealing with it. There’s nobody here, or who’s watching, who is not dealing with it. Even old-school liberals are saying it’s crazy… makes no sense…is too much. Is there something behind it? Does the word of God actually tell us what’s happening? What the Bible speaks about “the gods” (of course, there’s only one God), but it says “the gods.” Could there actually be something real behind them…as in spirits? And what if we opened the door for this to happen? Pray.
Exactly what we were warned about is happening. Let’s start with Exodus 15:11. “Who is like You, oh, Lord, among the gods, who is like You…glorious in holiness, fearful in praises doing wonders…” So in Hebrew, the word for the gods is Elohim. The same word for God as singular, the one true God. That is a reference (with a small g) to these entities…principalities. Ephesians 6 in large part is what we’re dealing with. In Deuteronomy, one of the words used when it says they worship “the gods” is shedim, which means entities, spirits. It also appears in Psalm 106, where it says they offered their children to the shedim, When this was translated into Greek by the rabbis, they chose the word diamon, meaning “lesser god” or “guiding spirit.” The Christian Greeks, however, translated it as “god of the heathen” and “unclean spirit.” It is this negative connotation that is connected to demoniac: “like a demon.” from which we get the words demonic and demon.
When Paul says that they’re worshiping the idols, he’s saying that behind the gods, or the mythologies, is something spiritual…demon spirits. The Bible speaks about how they want to get the worship away from God to them. When you look at the pagan world, you see the signs of possession in their culture. The high priest and the priestesses would be foaming at the mouth, shaking; it was a possessed culture. So that’s what most of the people of God were dealing with…all around them. Pray.
Gary: You speak about these demonic entities and your book focuses on how these entities have influenced culture. So take us back to Mesopotamia, to the origin of all of this.
Jonathan: Well, the thing is that if we were all living in biblical times, we would be surrounded by this. What ended it first, before we talk about the return? When did they leave? What ended it was Jesus…God came down. First of all, He had the power to cast out, but He also sent the gospel into the world. So you have the word of God, for the first time coming to the pagan world, coming into the culture of these “gods”, and the Holy Spirit coming into the Roman empire where all these spirits are operating. Christians were thrown to the lions because it was a spiritual war that was being fought. At the end of that war, the Gospel prevailed and the temples of Zeus were abandoned, the temples of Dionysus gone. Pray.
So what happened if the gods were gone? The Bible says: The spirits don’t die. So what happened to them? Look at the warning that’s given by Jesus Himself, that if a spirit goes out of a man, it goes looking for a place to dwell. If he doesn’t find one, he goes back and when he finds his old house empty and swept clean, he brings in seven of his friends, more evil than himself…and now the guy is all the more possessed. Jesus said that the last state is worse than the first. At the end of Matthew, Jesus says so it will be with this generation. He’s not talking about one man, He’s saying that cultures can be demonically, influenced, seduced, and possessed. Pray.
So the warning is that any culture, any civilization, any nation that has known God, has been cleansed of these things by the power of the gospel, if it should ever turn away from God, if it empties itself of God, something else is going to come into it, because it is not going to stay empty. What’s going to come in is what was cast out…and be even stronger! Pray.
America is part of Western civilization which, 2000 years ago, had a cleansing. That’s what made the West different. It was exorcized…the greatest mass exorcism in history. Now we are witnessing the turning away of the West, of America, and what Jesus said, “the latter state will be worse than the first.” What will come will be worse than paganism. The pagan world produced Nero, but the post-Christian world produced Hitler, an antichrist. So what we have been watching for the last 50 years is that America started saying we’re going to empty ourselves of God, and we took God out of our schools. No one thought it would be a big deal. Well, it’s a really big deal. If you take God from children, you’re taking God from the future. What Jesus warned was the house is not going to stay empty…something else came into the schools…and now we’re there. So what we’re experiencing are the same demons just new names. And they’re cloaked in all of this cultural madness. We see all of this in Scripture. Pray.
Gary: Talk about this evil trinity in the book.
Jonathan: I call it the Dark Trinity. There are a number of “gods,” but there are three in particular that embody all this. The first one is known as Baal. In Hebrew, it means “the possessor or the master, the owner, the Lord of all.” He’s always first. When Israel turned away from God, this is the spirit they went after. he’s the substitute God…the god of apostasy. What happened in Israel was Baal paganized it. Basically, it became a pagan nation. Pray.
Israel became like everyone else. Baal caused them to forget God. They turned away from His ways…forgot that God ever was! This spirit operating through Jezebel and Ahab drove God out of the culture. Now, take it to where we in the US are. We opened the door when we said we were taking God out. If you want to understand what’s been happening to America, and much of the world for the last 50 years, it is that we are in a process of these spirits taking possession (or you could call it repossession). That’s why things are crazy…irrational. We can sense the spirit that has been driving God out of everything, that has also caused America not only to forget God but to forget it ever knew God. Pray.
We pray:
That we will personally commit to not only remember but to share our “memory” of God with all we can reach and influence! Pray.
That we will remember that we are in a spiritual battle and that as Christians, we are the recipients of the weapons of warfare provided by God for us to receive and use. 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 bring a swift end to the Biden crime family and those associated with it: Obama, Clinton, Comey, and all the corrupt individuals concerned, 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.
