Thursday, September 12, 2024 – 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!
“My eyes are upon You, O God, the Lord;
in You I take refuge; do not leave my soul destitute.”
Psalm 141:8
We sing: Turn Your Eyes Upon Jesus
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face,
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace!
Turn your eyes upon Jesus, look full in His wonderful face,
and the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace!
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace!
~~~
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, his restoration to his rightful office, and that he is led by the Holy Spirit so that he will discern truth and act for the good of the nation.
We bless our First Lady, Melania, their marriage and family, and cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For all those working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!
Let those leaders that God anoints and appoints
take their places in the governments of each state and in our nation’s Capitol!
Pray.
We will now spend the next 10 minutes praying for President Trump.
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 827
The Righteous Return of President Trump to the White House! – Part 727
“But you, O man of God, flee these things and pursue righteousness, godliness, faith, love, patience, gentleness. Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, to which you were also called
and have confessed the good confession in the presence of many witnesses.”
1 Timothy 6:11-12
As Christians, there are a few things we might want to know about the faith and beliefs of President Trump’s running mate, Senator J.D. Vance (R-OH). He is a true representative of the “common man”, having his roots deep in Middletown, OH, a small city nestled between northern Cincinnati and southern Dayton. Vance’s mother struggled with drug and alcohol addictions, so he was raised by his grandparents, who were strong positive influences. His grandmother instilled solid Christian character and values in him during his early years, and he says that being raised by them was the best thing that could have happened to him. In those days, Middletown was a thriving, middle-class town where a family could comfortably live on one income, but when the town’s largest manufacturer made a poor business decision, many families experienced hard times. In his 20s, Vance wandered away from his Christian roots and even held atheistic views, but when he “turned his eyes upon Jesus” in his early 30s, he became a Catholic Christian. Despite adversity, Vance didn’t let his family’s hard times stop him from pursuing his dreams. He wrote a bestselling memoir of his life growing up in Middletown called Hillbilly Elegy (2016), which also became a movie. His mother’s struggle with drug dependence may have initially been a motivator for a non-profit he started in 2016 called Our Ohio Renewal, focused on assisting underprivileged children and helping combat an opioid epidemic. Vance then turned his attention to politics and became a US Senator from Ohio in 2022. Serving alongside President Trump, he would be one of the youngest vice presidents in America’s history. Pray.
Vance is a family man! He and his wife, Usha, were college sweethearts who married in 2013, and have three small children: Ewan, Vivek, and Mirabel. Usha was raised in a Hindu home. And though they embrace different faiths, when Usha was asked how they blend their Hindu and Catholic faith while raising children together, she replied, “There are a lot of things that we just agree on; I think, especially when it comes to family life, how to raise our kids. And so I think the answer really is we just talk a lot.” Vance introduced legislation called the “Stay-at-Home Parents Act” that amends the present FMLA (Family and Medical Leave Act). If it were to pass, it would prevent companies from reclaiming premiums if an employee decides not to return to work due to the birth of a child. He also supports preserving God-ordained gender. During his time as a Senator, Vance proposed legislation that would ban using chemicals and sex change operations that transgender activists are fighting to have made available to minors. Pray.
Vance is also unashamedly pro-life, although he does hold the view that it shouldn’t be decided on the federal level. He believes each state needs to decide that on their own. SBA Pro-Life America President Marjorie Dannenfelser lauded Vance for “His courage in exposing the Democrats’ agenda of abortion for any reason, even in the seventh, eighth, or ninth month.” She went on to note that this view helped him to win the 2022 Senate seat and that his difficult upbringing helped him to have an informed and “compassionate approach to this issue. His ability to compellingly share these stories nationally will surely be an asset. During his time in the Senate, he has earned an A+ on our Scorecard. With approximately 750,000 babies in states like California and New York still lacking basic protections, we need champions whose boldness will not waver.” Pray.
Vance isn’t in favor of continuing to provide funds and weapons to Ukraine as Russia continues its war efforts toward them. He feels there isn’t a “clear endpoint,” even though “The United States has sent tens of billions worth of military aid to Ukraine with shockingly little accountability for where those resources have gone.”
He feels that a standard of tracking needs to be implemented for all weapons that the U.S. sends overseas to Ukraine, and if that standard can’t be maintained, then the weapons shouldn’t be sent. He is a supporter of Israel and will advocate for it. He recognizes the strategic importance of the relationship between the U.S. and Israel, as well as how Israel is a stabilizing force in the Middle East. “I will be as strong an advocate for the US-Israel relationship as anyone,” he told the Jerusalem Post. He was also a supporter of relocating the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and believes Israel should have control over Jerusalem. Pray.
Finally, Vance has long supported the idea that the 2020 election was stolen. In an interview with The Cincinnati Enquirer in October 2022, he said, “The thing that I’ve always said here, and I’ll repeat to you, is, was the election in 2020 free and fair? Was it above board? My answer is no. I really don’t think that it was. There are many arguments we can make, but here’s the thing that I think made the election fundamentally a problem in 2020. It’s not foreign people hacking into the voting machines and changing Biden votes into Trump votes or Trump votes into Biden votes. It’s the influence of the technology industry on the election.” We note that President Trump’s pick of Vance for his running mate received a positive nod from several Silicon Valley tycoons, some previously supportive of Democrats. Elon Musk endorsed Trump as did Jacob Helberg, senior adviser to the CEO of Palantir Technologies. Investor Balaji Srinivasan also expressed support for Vance as the GOP VP running mate. Pray.
We pray:
That as people get to know JD Vance, they will see his inner character and integrity, and realize what a
stark contrast there is between him and the warped individual the Dems are running for VP. Pray.
That God will protect and encourage Vance in every way, and that he will seek, hear and receive direction from the Holy Spirit in all his words and actions. 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.
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.
