“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 #
Our 24/7 NSPC assignment is a critical one! As we honor and pray for our leader, President Trump, we also intercede for the security and destiny of our nation! It’s a sacred trust…and a critical one as we continue pray in unity on the 24/7 NSPC.
SPECIAL REFLECTION re: REFORMATION
500 years ago, on Oct 31, 1517, Martin Luther, a lecturer at the Wittenberg Cathedral, posted his 95 Theses (statements), addressing certain abuses within the Church, including the issuance of indulgences. His students translated the document and sent it out to the “common” people. The established Church, which had final authority over most matters in that era, faced a challenge to its authority. In 1521, when Luther was examined before the Emperor, Kings and Princes at the Diet of Worms, and told to recant from his belief that certain Church teachings were in error, he said that decisive authority did not rest on any man, and that he was captive to the Word of God – not popes or councils that contradict each other. Although the medieval Church had claimed and exercised that authority, God’s Word was, is and always will be the ultimate and final authority in the life of a believer. Thus, the central issue of this reformation: is AUTHORITY! Did the Church or Scripture have final authority?
“But you must continue in the things which you have learned and been assured of,
knowing from whom you have learned them, and that from childhood you have known the Holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.
All Scripture is given by inspiration (breathed out) of God, and is profitable for doctrine,
for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness,
that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.”
II Tim 3:14-17
Scripture is the breath of God breathed out to us! To hear the voice of God, read the Bible out loud!!!
- *Scripture is INSPIRED…its’ “Source” is of Divine Origin! No prophecy was ever produced by the will of man, but men spoke from God as they were carried along by the Holy Spirit! II Peter 1:20-21
- *Scripture is AUTHORITATIVE. It has a claim over our lives! We can not dabble in other faiths or traditions and call ourselves Christians. If it contradicts scripture, we reject it!
- *Scripture is SUFFICIENT. It teaches – His “whole counsel” instructs our lives / It reproves / corrects – convicts and rebukes us / cuts to the heart and corrects so we repent and change and are transformed / It trains us in righteousness – ongoing “boot camp” to form us into the image of Christ / It equips- for every good work, ready to do what He call us to!
Today, we pray for further and ongoing reformation in the global Church, and in particular for the reforms necessary in the Church of our nation, the United States of America! Let us we resolve to let the Word of God be our ultimate and final authority to inform us daily! Word of God, speak!!!

Praise Report
- The National Parks of Washington, DC have denied the permit for the large, nude statue, “R-Evolution” to go up on the National Mall. We celebrate this victory, but also recognize that the forces of darkness continually attempt to find their way in, so let’s not put down our guard. Vigilance is KEY!
Praying for our President and his Administration
- Democrats have been indirectly colluding with Moscow disinformation to bash the Trump team, and compile wild allegations that falsely accuse President Trump’s presidential campaign for doing the exact same thing. As innuendos and lies are being viciously launched against our President, trying to ensnare him in the Russian intrigue, we lift him up to the Father in prayer, asking that every tongue that rises up in judgment against him will be silenced and that every lie will be exposed so he is free to move forward, full speed ahead, for our nation! KADIMA!
- The President has declared the nationwide opioid crisis in the United States a public health emergency. He and the First Lady Melania Trump spoke on the impact of drug addiction on children and families, and commended the courageous individuals working to combat the opioid crisis. He urged Americans never to begin using addictive substances. “Illegal drug use is not a victimless crime,” the President said. “There is nothing admirable, positive, or socially desirable about it… We want the next generation of young Americans to know the blessings of a drug-free life.”
Praying for our Supreme Court and the Judicial System
- Attorney General Jeff Sessions is unleashing an organized crime task force with the explicit mission of taking the MS-13 street gang down. In an address to the International Association of Chiefs of Police Conference, Mr. Sessions said: “Just like we took Al Capone off the streets with our tax laws, we will use whatever laws we have to get MS-13 off our streets.” May our Attorney General be successful in his mission to liberate communities of this group forever!

Strategic Focus for Tuesday
WELCOMING THE KING OF GLORY into the WORLD
The One New Man – Part 3
Yeshua prayed 5 times in John 17 that “we” may be one as He and Father in heaven are.
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word;
that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us,
that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them,
that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.”
John 17:20-23.
When Yeshua prayed this prayer 2,000 years ago, denominations didn’t exist! There were and are presently only two people groups! Jews and Gentiles. Rabbi Shaul (Paul) explains further in Ephesians.
“But now in [Messiah] Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of [Messiah]. For He Himself is our peace, who has made both one, and has broken down the middle wall of separation, having abolished in His flesh the enmity, that is, the law of commandments contained in ordinances,
so as to create in Himself one new man from the two, thus making peace”
Ephesians 2:13-15.
See also Eph. 2:19-21 and 3:1-6.
There can not be a “One New Man” without Jews or Gentiles. Yeshua will return when “we” are one body of believers! This is not a church replacement theology nor do we believe or support that Ephraim is the church. There are physical Jews and physical Gentiles that love Messiah Yeshua, but Jews do not become Gentiles nor do Gentiles become Jews. Church replacement theology or any statement that the church has replaced Israel is unbiblical and not of God.
The law of evangelism states “to the Jew first” as stated in Romans 1:16. Messiah will come when Israel and all the nations know Him.
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the one who kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to her!
How often I wanted to gather your children together, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings,
but you were not willing! See! Your house is left to you desolate; for I say to you,
you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’ ”
Matthew 23:37-39.
The “One New Man” is the “End Time” body of believers! God is restoring His people!
