Thursday, October 31, 2019 – The 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call
“A CALL TO THE WALL…ONE NATION UNDER GOD”
1-712-770-4340 Code: 543555 #
We begin the hour today by praising and giving thanks to God!
“Are there any among the idols of the nations that can cause rain? Or can the heavens give showers?
Are You not He, O Lord our God? Therefore we will wait for You, Since You have made all these.”
Jeremiah 14;22
We pray for the state of California and the fires that are consuming much of the land and causing millions to be without power there! Over 200,000 evacuations already having taken place. Lord, have mercy on the people of California, especially those of our 24/7 family! Protect their lives, their families and their property. Cause the winds to die down and the fires to be extinguished. Let the people of God awaken to the reality of the evil governing authorities there and rise up to remove them in the coming elections!
Lord, have mercy on the Golden State! AMEN!
“Thank you soooo much! The fires near us that were so frightening were not caused by windblown sparks after all, but rather downed power poles which sparked and caused the fires. We slept all night after the prayers and are so thankful for the precious prayer support and comfort. Some ranches with wells have no water for them or their animals (no power for the pumps). We continue to pray for those suffering. A warning went out over TV last night, asking people who are harassing the PGE workers to stop; they’ve been cautioned not to engage, and will stop work if it continues…many on loan to CA from out of state. The insanity continues here.” – Janice (CA)
We pray:
Our hearts are dry and thirsty, our land is parched and bare;
give us rivers in the desert, let them overflow.
Come and rain upon us, wash us with Your water, give us life anew ’til our hearts are owned by You!
Send Your rain, send Your rain, pour out Your Spirit, water all the earth.
Send Your rain, send Your rain, fill us with Your power flood us with Your love.
Send your rain, soften us with showers by the pouring of your spirit, for your streams are holding water.
Let them overflow, pour it out upon us, ‘til every tribe and every tongue, every nation
is down upon their knees before You, Lord!

The key assignment for the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call is to intercede hourly for the safety and security of our President, Donald John Trump, and to pray for that which pertains to our nation!
We pray for our President’s protection and cover him with the Blood of Jesus,
asking that he will respond to every situation by the leading of the Holy Spirit.
We refer those to You who are plotting and planning the demise of our beloved President!
We say “No!” to them and ask that You expose and foil all their plans! Thank You, Lord!
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage, their son Barron and all their family members.
We bless our Vice President Mike Pence, his wife Karen and their family
and all those serving in this Administration.
We bless the Federal Reserve Board members.
May they serve with integrity and honor, doing what’s right for our nation’s economy!
The 24/7 NSPC is praying for the 2020 National Elections,
positioning ourselves in intercession before the Lord on behalf of our President and nation!
COUNTDOWN: 370 days until the election!
Let us pray into this verse:
“Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.”
2 Corinthians 11:14-15
Strategic Focus for Thursday
WELCOME THE KING OF GLORY INTO THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A CALL FOR A NATIONAL DAY OF REPENTANCE – Part 32
“Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places.”
Ephesians 6:10-12
Headline from CNN…
”Happy Halloween and Day of the Dead! It’s costumes and candy on Thursday and flowers, candles and brightly colored skeleton masks on Friday as we mere mortals mark a pair of holidays that test the bounds of what’s real.’
We pray:
- That the mass media will stop advocating that which leads innocent people into dangerous practices that will destroy their souls and restrain them from discovering their God given destinies in Christ!
As Halloween approaches, we Christians need to be aware of what we’re watching, doing and consuming. At this time of year, television shows commonly feature dark themes and evil beings, and we need to be aware of how those things align with our expressed beliefs and if being involved with them will affect our witness! As parents, seeking to honor God, we realize the pitfalls of participating in Halloween activities, while our little ones longingly watch as their friends going door to door collecting candy…dressed in princess costumes and superhero capes, (which. incidentally, were sold in stores alongside demon horns and witches’ cauldrons). Many churches and groups sponsor “alternative celebrations”, like fall festivals, in attempts to appease the children, and keep them from being exposed to “the world, the flesh and the devil” influencing others who are going to “trick or treat”.
We pray:
- Lord, when the rest of the world is celebrating darkness, show us how to radiate Your love and light into that darkness! Give us the right words with which to respond to those who are ignorant of the devil’s wiles…and guide our children correctly! Put Your words in our mouths and let them be persuasive!
Our President, expressing the father’s heart to a young woman who asked to pray for him!
For years, Halloween was touted as “fun”, a “simple joy of childhood”, but more and more, it is revealing its evil underbelly, within your face demonic activity, aimed at enticing the unknowing to participate…and before they know it, they are trapped in evil webs that are hard to escape from! People who play with ouija boards and other occult items are playing with fire…opening the door for demonic forces to enter their lives. This is no joking matter, but rather, one that is grave, with eternal consequences! Generations have worshipped false gods and experimented with occult practices…and each generation has paid the price for doing so!
The Bible does not explicitly mention “Halloween”, yet God’s Word is clear about the dangers of playing with the occult. Multiple scriptures in the Old Testament strongly denounce any attempt to tap into the supernatural world via mediums, sorcerers, magicians or fortune-tellers.
- Deuteronomy 18:9-14 “When you come into the land which the Lord your God is giving you, you shall not learn to follow the abominations of those nations. There shall not be found among you anyone who makes his son or his daughter pass through the fire, or one who practices witchcraft, or a soothsayer, or one who interprets omens, or a sorcerer, or one who conjures spells, or a medium, or a spiritist, or one who calls up the dead. For all who do these things are an abomination to the Lord, and because of these abominations the Lord your God drives them out from before you. You shall be blameless before the Lord your God. For these nations which you will dispossess listened to soothsayers and diviners; but as for you, the Lord your God has not appointed such for you.”
- Leviticus 20:6 “And the person who turns to mediums and familiar spirits, to prostitute himself with them, I will set My face against that person and cut him off from his people.”
- 2 Chronicles 33:6 “Also he caused his sons to pass through the fire in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom; he practiced soothsaying, used witchcraft and sorcery, and consulted mediums and spiritists. He did much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke Him to anger.”
In the New Testament, the Book of Acts records instances where people who had been practicing magic renounced their former ways when they gave their lives to Jesus.
- Acts 19:19 “Also, many of those who had practiced magic brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all. And they counted up the value of them, and it totaled fifty thousand pieces of silver.”
- Acts 8:9-13 “There was a certain man called Simon, who previously practiced sorcery in the city and astonished the people of Samaria, claiming that he was someone great, to whom they all gave heed, from the least to the greatest, saying, “This man is the great power of God.” And they heeded him because he had astonished them with his sorceries for a long time. But when they believed Philip as he preached the things concerning the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, both men and women were baptized. Then Simon himself also believed; and when he was baptized he continued with Philip, and was amazed, seeing the miracles and signs which were done.”
We pray:
- Lord, we repent for any connection we have had to the occult, either knowingly or unknowingly. We confess it as sin and break any agreement with it now! We ask You to forgive us, and cleanse us of any residue that might affect us, our families and our generations! Thank You for setting us free!
For centuries people have tried to picture what Satan must look like, and it is interesting that he’s almost always portrayed as something repulsive, evil and violent. Anything that pictures him as cute or harmless is misleading – for he’s anything but that. The Bible doesn’t tell us what Satan looks like…with good reason, for he’s not limited to any physical form or image. Instead, Satan is a spiritual being, but he is not as powerful as God, nor is he eternal, and someday, his power will come to an end. Don’t limit him to a pitchfork-carrying person in a red suit. The Bible tells us that, in his attempts to deceive us, he may even seem like a messenger from God:
“Satan himself masquerades as an angel of light”
2 Corinthians 11:14.
The “good news” is that if our lives are built on Christ and His Word, we will not be deceived. Satan’s goal is to keep us from knowing Jesus Christ…because he knows it is Jesus Who can deliver us from evil and take us safely to heaven. We believe:
“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved”
Acts 4:12
The death and darkness associated with this holiday is real…but 2,000 years ago, Jesus Christ came into the world to redeem us from that death and darkness. He brought us hope and saved us from the terrifying consequences of sin. At Halloween, although we are keenly aware of the spiritual darkness that pervades the world, for those who are IN CHRIST, His perfect LOVE lights up our lives and brings us peace!
We pray:
- In deep gratitude for our salvation, and for the grace to resist the devil in all his forms. Help us to set such an example for our loved ones, especially our children, that they will think nothing of Halloween, but instead, we will all focus on the KING OF GLORY Who gave His life for us and deserves all the attention!

Specific Prayer Topic for Today
Praying for the Congress of the United States: Senate and House of Representatives
While in DC recently, we learned from Chaplain Dan Cummins, who escorted us around the Capitol and ministers to Congressional leaders, that there are 14 Democrats and 14 Republicans serving in the US House of Representatives that are pastors, and they all meet regularly together for prayer.
We pray:
- That whenever the VOTE comes up re: the resolution about impeachment that each of them, and all born again believers in the House, will refuse to support the move to impeach!
- That the move to impeach will fail and that all efforts to remove the President will be stopped!

Note: We will not tolerate any demonic interference on the 24/7 National Strategic Prayer Call. If at any time, it is necessary, the facilitator, in agreement with those on the line, will bind all forces of evil and cast them down into the abyss, then pray a shield of protection over this line and our 24/7 family!
