Sunday, October 22, 2023 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“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!
“I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean;
I will cleanse you from all your filthiness and from all your idols.
I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you;
I will take the heart of stone out of your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes,
and you will keep My judgments and do them.”
Ezekiel 36:25-27
We sing: Oh, Happy Day
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
When Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, He washed my sins away!
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
When Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, He washed my sins away!
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
He taught me how to watch …to fight and pray…fight and pray.
And He’ll rejoice in things we say, in things we say, things we say!
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
When Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, He washed my sins away!
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
When Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, when Jesus washed, He washed my sins away!
Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day! Oh, happy day!
~~~
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 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 Sunday
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 508
The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 398
“Go, therefore and make disciples of all the nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you;
and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
Matthew 28:19-20
As we are interceding for all those who are on the ground, ministering to the Israelis and the Arabs during this critical time of war, Mat Staver, of Liberty Counsel, offered the following praise report. He shares how LC has launched a “full-on offense” against those who dare to attack our First Amendment freedoms, which when exercised in such a Godly manner, have produced an amazing harvest of young souls! Pray.
Just days after hundreds of college students were baptized in one night, after a powerful time of worship at Auburn University, an atheistic, anti-Christian group was quick to attack and claim a violation of the First Amendment. As always, they’re wrong. The Freedom from Religion Foundation (FFRF), a self-proclaimed “state/church watchdog” sent a “warning” letter to Auburn officials, calling the public baptisms in a lake on campus an “abuse of power.” Some university officials, like head football coach Hugh Freeze, assisted in baptisms after “Unite Auburn,” a private worship event. FFRF called on the university to take “immediate action” to educate coaches on their “constitutional duties” and said they should not participate in any student-led religious activities. Pray.
As we’ve seen before, FFRF is once again attempting to twist the First Amendment Establishment Clause of the U.S. Constitution and use it to infringe on Christians practicing their faith.
My message to FFRF: “This is America, not North Korea.”
Pray.
Keep in mind that this was a private gathering, not a university-sanctioned event. The Constitution protects the free exercise of religion, such as through public baptism, for all individuals, regardless of their employer, at private events. While the distinction of a private event is critically important for the Constitution’s protection, FFRF’s mission is to ban virtually all expressions of faith, even though the government has no place dictating to state employees when and where it’s acceptable to exercise their religious liberty at a private gathering. Pray.
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey stood up against FFRF in a letter, saying that “requiring college officials to entirely remove faith from their lives could well violate those officials’ own religious freedom. After all, the First Amendment protects the ‘free exercise’ of religion just as much as it prohibits government establishment of religion.” She said Alabama would not be “intimidated by out-of-state interest groups dedicated to destroying our nation’s religious heritage.” Pray.
Just as the government cannot restrict a high school football coach from privately praying on the football field as we saw with Coach Joe Kennedy in the Kennedy v. Bremerton case in 2022, the government also cannot restrict a college football coach, like Auburn’s Hugh Freeze, from practicing his faith through baptizing college students at a private event. The First Amendment assures that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Pray.
Contrary to FFRF’s false narrative, the phrase “Separation of Church and State” is found nowhere in our founding documents. Thomas Jefferson penned the phrase “wall of separation between church and State” in a letter to reassure Danbury Baptists that the United States was a refuge for religious freedom when they expressed concern over the possibility of federal-mandated religion. Pray.
The wonderful thing about America is that the free exercise of religion is protected for all. Employees and students at a public university have the liberty to participate in religious expression or choose not to participate. Educators (and coaches) are not expected to “shed their constitutional rights to freedom of speech or expression at the schoolhouse gate.” The United States of America was founded as a bastion for religious liberty, and we must preserve our First Amendment rights against these frequent attacks. Pray.
Last year, I argued a case in front of the U.S. Supreme Court to allow Boston resident Hal Shurtleff and his Christian civic organization, Camp Constitution, to fly the Christian flag on the Boston City Hall flagpole after Boston brazenly censored Christian viewpoints. The city had previously approved 284 flag raisings by private organizations, but in 2017, Hal Shurtleff and Camp Constitution’s request to fly the Christian flag celebrating Constitution Day was denied due to unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination. Amazingly, Boston censored the flag because of one word on the application form — the word Christian. Had Hal referred to the same flag with a non-religious modifier (anything other than “Christian”), Boston would have allowed it. In Shurtleff v. City of Boston, the Supreme Court ruled 9-0 in favor of flying the Christian flag. Last August, Hal Shurtleff raised his Christian flag on the flagpole in Boston City Hall Plaza. Of course, this irritates groups like FFRF because they prefer absolute censorship of anything deemed religious. I am thankful the Supreme Court sided with the Constitution and religious liberty, ruling that the government cannot restrict a flag solely because of a Christian viewpoint. Pray.
Religious liberty is an unalienable right that comes from God and is preserved by the First Amendment. If we cede ground on religious liberty, we will lose the soul of our nation. Whether it’s baptizing students on campus at a private event, kneeling on a football field to pray after a game, or raising a Christian flag on a public flagpole open to all applicants, the free exercise of religion is a fundamental right of all Americans, guaranteed in the Constitution. Auburn University should be commended, not warned, for allowing the free exercise of religion on university grounds during a private event. Pray
“And now why are you waiting?
Arise and be baptized, and wash away your sins, calling on the Name of the Lord.”
Acts 22:16
Pray.
We pray:
For all those young people who gave their hearts to the Lord, that they would be heralds of His love and share what they experienced with family and friends, introducing many to Him! Pray.
That God-hating groups like the FFRF be exposed for what they are and rendered unable to control or prohibit people’s religious expressions. Pray.
That the people of our nation, in particular our youth, who have been lied to, 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.
