Tuesday, September 24, 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!
“Worthy is the Lamb who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and might and honor and glory and blessing!”
Revelation 5:12
We sing: Just As I Am
Just as I am, without one plea, but that Thy Blood was shed for me,
and that Thou bidst me come to Thee…
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
Just as I am, though tossed about with many a conflict, many a doubt,
fightings and fears…within…without…
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
Just as I am, Thou wilt receive, wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
because Thy promise I believe…
O Lamb of God, I come, I come!
~~~
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.
During the final 50 days before the election, we are standing
in FAITH AND HOPE AND OBEDIENCE TO OUR CALLING…
trusting that he will be alive on November 5th!
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 839
The Righteous Return of President Trump to the White House! – Part 739
“Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people.”
Proverbs 14:34
This is Part 3 of our review of “Church, Unite for the Soul of America!” – a sermon by Ps Gary Hamrick, of Cornerstone Chapel, in Leesburg, VA. He wisely exhorted his congregation to vote for policies, not personalities!
I want to share three things with us that I believe will help us advance the kingdom of God, for the glory of God, to stem the tide of evil in our land… until Jesus comes!
My first point: 1) God uses flawed, sinful people. One of my biggest concerns this election cycle is the Christian who wants to do the right thing but can’t vote for a candidate who doesn’t have the total package. And I hear Christians talk like this; I don’t like a few things about this person’s personality or a couple of their positions but I can’t vote for the other candidate because they’re too far from my biblical values, so I’ll just sit it out and vote for nobody. I understand elections are serious things with serious consequences, but please, tell me what other decisions do you make in your life that must meet 100% of the criteria? About what other decisions do you say: if it doesn’t have 100% I’m not doing this? Everybody here that attends Cornerstone, we don’t meet 100% of what you would like. Some of you really love the worship, others say the worship’s too loud, so you come 20 minutes late because you like the guy who preaches. Some don’t really like how loud the worship is but they love the children’s ministry; or they’re not quite as charismatic as I might like, but they have good youth ministry; or I wish they’d emphasize missions more, but they do have a good women’s ministry. You don’t make a decision based on 100%…nothing is 100%. There’s no perfect spouse, no perfect Church, no perfect child, no perfect job, no perfect neighborhood…and since Jesus is not on the ballot, there is no perfect candidate! Get over looking for the most perfect person…but you had better vote for the better choice, not a perfect choice. Proverbs 14:34 says “Righteousness exalts a nation but sin is a reproach to any people.” Every candidate is a flawed sinful human being including Kamala Harris and Donald Trump. Pray.
I think personally that evangelicals have for too long looked for the candidate based on likability and how strong their faith was in Jesus…and if those things don’t line up, then they’re not good enough for me to vote for, because I need to vote for a good person because good people promote good policies. Right? Not always! Policies are always more important than personalities because personalities come and go but policies will live long after them. A nation will not thrive because of the righteousness of the leader but because the leader promotes righteous policies. Pray.
The reality is that there were some righteous leaders who did unrighteous things and there were some unrighteous leaders who did righteous things and God used them both. What mattered most was the righteous thing the king did, not the righteousness of the king per se. God used both the righteous leaders and the unrighteous leaders in the Bible. David was a righteous leader, a man after God’s own heart, but he committed adultery and incurred the wrath of God as judgment upon the nation. God used Hezekiah, also a righteous King, but Hezekiah had a terrible foreign policy that also incurred the wrath of God as a national judgment. He was a righteous King but God used him even though he did an unrighteous thing. Samson was a righteous judge and God used him for the benefit of the nation and Samson ended up in Hebrews 11 as part of the Hebrew Hall of Faith. I’m not making excuses for their bad behavior or their sin; they all paid consequences for their sin. My point is that God uses flawed people to promote good policies for a nation. You see it all through the Bible. Pray.
God used unrighteous people too. Look at King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, and King Cyrus of Persia…two guys were pagan as pagan comes, yet God put it on their hearts to do righteous things for Israel and for the Jewish people, and for that reason they were unrighteous kings that God used because of their righteous policies that promoted good for the benefit of the nation! Please stop looking at the person and look at their policies! Some of you say I can’t vote for the orange man; he’s a bully who sends out mean tweets and I don’t like the guy. Or on the other hand, you say I can’t vote for her she’s a cackling hen who repeats the same dumb phrases about unburdened by what has been. People make it about the two of their personalities! Let me tell you something: I’d rather have a mean orange man who gave us three Supreme Court Justices to overturn Roe vWade than a hen who believes in killing babies in the ninth month! So we have to stop focusing on who’s a good candidate because Jesus said in Luke 18:19 “No one is good except God”, so there is no good candidate; there is no righteous person; but God can still use the righteous, and the unrighteous to accomplish his good purposes. Pray.
The 2nd point: Vote Policies over Personalities I’m going to share with you seven top policies with Biblical support that I think are worth considering in this year’s election, in no particular order.
1) Judges Isaiah 1:26 says “I will restore your judges as at the first and your counselors as at the beginning; afterward you shall be called the city of righteousness the Faithful City.” What is God saying there? He’s saying when you choose right judges, they will bring righteousness to the land by virtue of their decisions. It is important that we have good judges; don’t underestimate the importance of the President of the United States in selecting federal judges. In Donald Trump’s single term, he appointed 226 federal judges, an amazing number. proportionately more than any of his predecessors who had two terms. Trump appointed 226 federal judges; Obama, in his 2 terms, appointed 320; George W Bush, in his two terms: 322; Bill Clinton, in his two terms: 367. Federal judges are an important aspect of who is President and when it comes to the nation’s 13 Federal Appeals Courts, which have the final word on most legal appeals around the country, Trump appointed 54 federal appellant judges in his single term. Obama appointed, in his two terms, 55. So it is important that you consider the ramifications of judges who will get appointed when you’re electing someone. Obviously, that also includes Supreme Court Justices; they play a huge role in the future of our nation in terms of judging and ruling in righteousness. So ask yourselves, what do we need to consider in going to vote? Which candidate will appoint the best judges and justices? Pray.
We pray:
Lord, help us not to seek perfection in any human person, but rather, choose to support and vote for those
that who have demonstrated that they will rule in righteousness in and for our land. Pray.
Give us eyes to see and ears to hear the truth being spoken and the ability to discern when the enemy is
speaking lies into the atmosphere. Let us not be duped; give us a clear understanding, so that we might vote rightly. 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.
