Tuesday, September 17, 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!
“How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed?
And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard?
And how are they to hear without someone preaching?
And how are they to preach unless they are sent?
As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!”
Romans 10:14-15
We sing: Our God Reigns
How lovely on the mountains are the feet of Him who brings good news, good news;
Announcing peace, proclaiming news of happiness: our God reigns, our God reigns!
Our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns!
He had no stately form. He had no majesty that we should be drawn to Him.
He was despised and we took no account of Him; Yet now He reigns with the Most High!
Our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns!
It was our sin and guilt that bruised and wounded Him, it was our sin that brought Him down.
When we like sheep had gone astray, our Shepherd came and on His shoulders bore our shame!
Our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns!
Meek as a lamb that’s led out to the slaughterhouse, still as a sheep before its shearer,
His life ran down upon the ground, like pouring rain that we might be born again!
Our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns!
Out of the tomb He came with grace and majesty, He is alive, He is alive!
God loves us so; see here His hands, His feet, His side: yes, we know He is alive!
Our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns, our God reigns!
~~~
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 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 832
The Righteous Return of President Trump to the White House! – Part 732
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord,
thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
Jeremiah 29:11
As we are called to preach the gospel to those who do not know it, we also have a responsibility to lead others into ALL TRUTH. With a myriad of lies flying unrestricted and unchecked during this upcoming election, are we who have discerned truth not to share the truth we know…for the good of our country and our children’s futures?
To help those who are in darkness or just ”sitting on the fence,” let us review and share the chart below. It compares certain measures of the US economy on the final day of Donald Trump’s presidency to today’s numbers. It presents eight metrics, such as the inflation rate, average rent prices, and real average hourly earnings to draw a contrast between the US economy under President Trump and Biden administrations.
The following breakdown of these eight areas shows where the economic data under the Trump and Biden administrations actually stands.
Let’s start with the Inflation Rate. In the final month of Donald Trump’s presidency – January 2021 – the 12-month percentage change in the US Consumer Price Index (CPI) was 1.4%, compared to 3% in June 2024 under the Biden administration. Between Trump taking office in January 2017 and his departure in January 2021, the US experienced a cumulative inflation rate – the total percentage change in CPI during the period – of approximately 7.76%. There have been significantly higher inflation rates since Joe Biden took office: CPI rose by a cumulative 19.24% between January 2021 and June 2024. Pray.
This overall rise in prices under the Biden administration—a result of inflationary pressures during his presidency—can be seen in other metrics:
Average Gas Prices In January 2021, the average retail gasoline price in the U.S. was $2.38 per gallon. By July 2024, that average had risen to $3.49, a 46.6% increase under the Biden Administration!
30-Year Mortgage Rates Mortgage rates, which are closely tied to the Federal Funds Rate, were lower on average during the Trump administration than under Biden. On the final day of the Trump presidency, the average interest rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage was approximately 2.9%. On July 12, 2024, the same rate sat at approximately 6.65%.
Average Rent The US Bureau of Labor Statistics measures shelter as a component of the CPI, which can be used to calculate the total approximate change in average housing costs over any given period. According to this data, shelter prices rose by approximately 11.8% during Trump’s four years in office while shelter prices have increased by 21.6% thus far during Biden’s term. According to Rent Group data on median monthly rents across the country, median rents rose 21.2%. Pray
Nasdaq The Nasdaq composite—a stock market index composed of more than 3,000 stocks listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market—is one of the most common measures of the performance of US equity markets, alongside the S&P 500 and Dow Jones Industrial Average. The Nasdaq rose from 5,540.08 to 13,197.18 during the Trump administration, an increase of 138.2%. Under Biden, the same index has risen from 13,197.18 on the day of his inauguration to 18,398.44 as of July 12, 2024, only a rise of 39.4%. Pray
Grocery and Electricity Prices The increase in grocery prices can be measured similarly to the rise in shelter costs by using a component of the CPI—this time its Food at Home average. From January 2017 to January 2021, the average price of food eaten at home in the U.S. rose by 6.5%. Between Biden taking office in January 2021 and the metric’s most recent data in June 2024, this same number has risen by 20.9%. The Household Energy component of CPI tracks energy prices. During Trump’s time in office, this cost measure rose by 4.2%. So far under Biden, it has increased by 29.6%. Pray
Real Average Hourly Earnings The final metric is the change in real average hourly earnings. In the month that Trump took office, real average hourly earnings in the US (in constant 1982-1984 dollars) were $10.65, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. By Trump’s final month in office, this number had increased to $11.43, a 7.3% rise. In June 2024, real average hourly earnings had decreased to $11.18, representing an approximate 2.2% overall decrease under Biden. After viewing the graphic and comparing all these areas, judge for yourselves! Pray.
We pray:
That as they go to vote, people will ask themselves this critical question: “Was I better off four years ago than I am today?” and cast their ballot for prosperity, hope, and a better future under Donald Trump! Pray.
For all Americans, particularly those in the Church, who have had blinders on…and who, either wittingly or unwittingly, have been DECEIVED. As we share this information, may their eyes and ears be opened to receive the truth! 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.
