Tuesday, October 25, 2022 – 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! 

 “You are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for his own possession, 

that you may proclaim the excellencies of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light. 

Once you were not a people, but now you are God’s people; 

once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.”

1 Peter 2:9-10

We sing: Come and worship!

Come and worship, royal priesthood. Come and praise Him, Holy Nation.

Worship Jesus, our Redeemer. He is precious, King of glory.

(repeat)

~~~

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 protection, provision, and peace 

for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of the 2020 election!

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 Tuesday 

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 170

The Returning of President Trump to the White House! – Part 53

 “Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, 

that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

Romans 12:2

There are a few strong voices who dare to “buck the Establishment” and fearlessly speak the TRUTH. Author and TV Commentator, Mark Levin, often referred to by colleagues as “The Great One,” wrote a book in which he discusses NEWS AS POLITICAL AND IDEOLOGICAL ACTIVISM. For the next three days, we will learn more about what has been called the “free press” as we read and pray into selections from his book, and ask God to protect him as he continues to speak out! Pray. 

Selections from Unfreedom of the Press – Part 1

Consider these questions that Mark Levin puts forth in his opening to this book.

• What do we mean by a “free press,” “press,” or “freedom of the press”? And Just what is the purpose of a free press? Is it to report information? What kind of information? Is it to interpret or analyze information?
• What is “the news”? How are decisions made about what is newsworthy and what is not? What is a “news organization”…one person (a blogger), a group of people (a weekly newspaper), or a corporate conglomerate (a television network)?
• What is a “journalist”? What qualifies someone as a journalist? Experience, education, position, self-identification? What is the job of a journalist? Is journalism a profession? Are there standards? Are journalists able to be “fair” or “objective”?
• What is the purpose of reporting? To reinforce the founding and fundamental principles of the republic? To challenge public officials and authority? To give voice to certain individuals, groups, and causes? To influence politics and policy? To alter the status quo of a society? To promote “the common good” of the community? What is the common good? Who decides?
• Finally, what is the difference between freedom of the press and “free speech”? 

Does the current media revolution, spurred by technological advances such as the internet and social media, change any of this? Do these questions even matter anymore to news outlets? Pray. 

The questions are rarely asked today…let alone rationally discussed. They are infrequently the subject of open or public media circumspection or focused and sustained national debate. It seems “the media” are loath to investigate or explore “the media.” However, when the conduct of the media is questioned as biased, politically partisan, or otherwise irresponsible, they insist that they are of one mission: fidelity to the news and all that stems from it—protecting society from autocratic government, defending the freedom of the press, and contributing to societal civility and justice. Moreover, they typically claim to pursue and report the news free from any personal or political agenda. Is that true of the modern media? Pray. 

More than seventy years ago, there was a serious self-examination of the media. The Commission on Freedom of the Press (also known as the Hutchins Commission) was organized in 1942 by Time and Life magazine publisher Henry Luce to explore whether freedom of the press was in danger and the proper function of the media in a modern democracy. Its report, issued in 1947, concluded, in part, that freedom of the press was indeed in danger, and for three basic reasons: 

• “First, the importance of the press to the people has greatly increased with the development of the press as an instrument of mass communication. At the same time, the development of the press as an instrument of mass communication has greatly decreased the proportion of people who can express their opinions and ideas through the press. 
• Second, the few who are able to use the machinery of the press as an instrument of mass communication have not provided a service adequate to the needs of society. 
• Third, those who direct the machinery of the press have engaged from time to time in practices which the society condemns and which, if continued, it will inevitably undertake to regulate or control.” Pray. 

The commission warned: “The modern press itself is a new phenomenon. Its typical unit is the great agency of mass communication that can facilitate thought and discussion and they can stifle it. They can advance the progress of civilization or they can thwart it. They can debase and vulgarize mankind. They can endanger the peace of the world. They can play up or down the news and its significance, foster and feed emotions, create complacent actions and blind spots, misuse the great words, and uphold empty slogans. Their scope and power are increasing every day as new instruments become available to them that can spread lies faster and farther than our forefathers dreamed when they enshrined the freedom of the press in the First Amendment to our Constitution.” Pray. 

The commission cautioned that “with the means of self-destruction that are now at their disposal, men must live, if they are to live at all, by self-restraint, moderation, and mutual understanding. The press can be inflammatory, sensational, and irresponsible. If it is, it and its freedom will go down in the universal catastrophe. On the other hand, the press can do its duty and help create a world community by giving men everywhere knowledge of the world and of one another, promoting comprehension and appreciation of the goals of a free society that shall embrace all men.” Pray. 

Is this how the modern media conduct themselves? Self-restrained, measured, and temperate? 

• Are the media providing knowledge and insight useful to the public and a free society, or are they obsessed with their own personal, political, and progressive predilections and piques? 
• Have the media earned the respect and esteem of their readers, viewers, and listeners as fair and reliable purveyors of information, or are large numbers of the citizenry suspicious and distrustful of their reporting? 
• Are the media on a trajectory of self-destruction, unofficially identifying with one political party (Democratic Party) over the other (Republican Party)? Pray. 

In point of fact, most newsrooms and journalists have done a very poor job of upholding the tenets of their profession and, ultimately, have done severe damage to press freedom. Many millions of Americans do not respect them or trust them as credible, fair-minded, and unbiased news sources. President Donald Trump’s attacks on the ‘mainstream media’ are likely a factor in the increasingly polarized views of the media. Republicans agree with his assertions that the media unfairly cover his administration, while Democrats may see the media as the institution primarily checking the President’s power.” 

Nearly 80% of Republicans distrust the media, while nearly 80% of Democrats trust the media. This would seem to underscore the close ideological and political association and tracking between Democrats and the press. Pray. 

In a February 15, 2019, Lara Logan (who was a CBS News journalist and war correspondent from 2002 to 2018) spoke frankly about the media’s professional demise, preference for the Democratic Party and progressive advocacy, and intolerance of independent and diverse perspectives in reporting. “Anyone who’s ever been to Israel, at the Wailing Wall, has seen that the women have this tiny little spot in front of the wall to pray and the rest of the wall is for the men. To me that’s a great representation of the American media. In this tiny little corner, you’ve got Breitbart, Fox News and a few others. From there on you have CBS, ABC, NBC, Huffington Post,’ and Politico, all of them…my experience has been that the more opinions you have, the more ways that you look at everything in life, which is complicated; nothing is black and white.” It is about news reporting. Pray.

“It’s got nothing to do with whether I like Trump or I don’t like Trump. The media has always been historically left-leaning; we’ve abandoned our pretense or at least the effort to be objective today. Former New York Times editor Jill Abramson says, ‘We would do dozens of stories about Trump every single day and every single one of them was negative. We have become the anti-Trump paper of record.’ Well, that’s not our job. That’s a political position. That means we’ve become political activists in a sense…and propagandists. We need at least two first hand sources …to help keep our work to a certain standard. Those standards are out the window. It’s all based on one anonymous administration oficial or former administration oficial…that’s not journalism.” Pray.

When a journalist breaks from the rest of the media pack, their careers are typically threatened or ruined by the rest of the press. After the Logan interview went viral, she was ostracized or worse, personally attacked by individuals in her own profession. In an interview with Fox’s Hannity, she said: “if there were any independent voices, any journalists who are not beating the same drum and giving the same talking points, then we pay the price. They cannot take down the substance of what you’re saying, so they smear you personally. They go after your integrity and your reputation as a person and a professional. They will stop at nothing. I am just done. I am tired of it. And they do not get to write my story anymore. They do not get to speak for me. I want to say loudly and clearly to anybody who is listening, I am not owned. Nobody owns me. I’m not owned by the left or the right.” Pray.

Having ignored the blaring warning of the commission, the media have knowingly co-mingled fact and opinion and have, in fact, regularly taken up the policies and causes of the Democratic Party. Consequently, the public’s attitude toward the modern media is divided largely along ideological and party lines. Pray.

We pray:

• That a powerful spirit of discernment be released in this nation, allowing our people and the members of the media to receive truth, believe it, and respond accordingly! Pray.
• For conservative, patriotic, candidates to be elected, who will be willing to fight for critical issues and to rectify the fraud that took place in the 2020 election! Pray.
• For President Trump: guard, guide and govern his every word and action; protect him from all enemies, without and within; help him discern rightly about counsel given by those who advise him. Pray. 
• For all who are “standing in the gap” with our President, engaging in this BATTLE TO SAVE AMERICA, and rejecting the usurper and those pulling his strings in this faux administration. Pray.
• For our elected officials to be willing to fight to rectify the fraud that took place in the 2020 election! 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! Pray.
