Wednesday, September 6, 2023 – 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!
For thus says the High and Lofty One Who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy:
“I dwell in the high and holy place, with him who has a contrite and humble spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.”
Isaiah 57:15
We sing: Forever a Holy God
Who else commands all the hosts of heaven? Who else could make every king bow down?
Who else can whisper and darkness trembles? Only a Holy God!
What other beauty demands such praises? What other splendor outshines the sun?
What other majesty rules with justice? Only a Holy God!
Come and behold Him, the One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy! Forever a Holy God! Come and worship the Holy God!
What other glory consumes like fire? What other power can raise the dead?
What other name remains undefeated? Only a Holy God!
Come and behold Him, the One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy! Forever a Holy God! Come and worship the Holy God!
Who else could rescue me from my failing? Who else would offer His only Son?
Who else invites me to call Him Father? Only a Holy God! Only my Holy God!
Come and behold Him, the One and the Only
Cry out, sing holy! Forever a Holy God! Come and worship the Holy God!
Come and worship the Holy God!
~~~
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, for our First Lady, Melania, and their marriage
and for all the members of their family. We cover them all with the Blood of Jesus.
Pray.
For the restoration of Donald Trump to his rightful office.
In every situation and decision, let our President be led by the Holy Spirit,
so that he learns the truth and acts accordingly, for the good of the nation.
Pray.
For David Clements, as he undertakes the assignment to connect with President Trump,
to see the declaration of a National Day of Repentance in which all Americans can take part!
Pray.
For protection, provision, and peace
for all working to expose the fraud and corruption of our elections!
As the SAVE AMERICA movement gains momentum, 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 have been praying for the J6 prisoners and have now added those who have been unjustly accused in GA, for conspiring with President Trump. Today, we pray into one of their stories!
Illinois pastor Stephen Lee, one of those indicted with President Trump in GA, was released from the Fulton County, GA jail, and was back in church this past Sunday, thanks in part to fundraising help from a Christian advocacy group who covered his bail. Living Word Lutheran Church in suburban Chicago had expected to be without its pastor on Sunday since he surrendered to authorities in Georgia days before. Chaplain Stephen Lee bought a one-way ticket to Atlanta and turned himself in Friday on charges related to election interference, the last of 18 people indicted along with President Donald Trump. His booking photo showed him wearing his clerical collar. Pray.

Prosecutors allege that Chaplain Lee went to the home of a Georgia election worker in an attempt to sway her testimony. Lee ended up being released on bail, backed by the prayers of his congregation and financial support from a Christian advocacy group. “I just have to say this. I am just so proud of you folks. … We were planning on possibly my absence today, but you didn’t skip a beat,” Lee told the congregation in Orland Park, Illinois, where he has been serving for three and a half years amid a pastoral vacancy. Last Sunday morning, he preached from Isaiah and Romans, and the church lifted up his family with “prayers of guidance and blessings as they work through their current struggles, and a prayer of thanksgiving for support.” Part of that support came from the Illinois Family Institute, which set up a legal defense fund to help cover 10 percent of his $75,000 bond for release. The Christian group has partnered with a company called Make Honey Great Again, which agreed to donate a portion of sales. Its honey comes in bottles shaped like Trump’s head.
“You may like or dislike the bottle design, but it’s filled with healthy, pure, raw honey and we hope the uniqueness of the packaging will generate awareness, prayers, and donations for Chaplain Lee,” the Illinois Family Institute wrote Pray.
Between Monday and Thursday of last week, the Illinois Family Institute’s fund had raised $4,000, and Herneitha Richardson, the host of a pro-Trump podcast called Diamond and Silk, covered the remaining $3,500 of his bail, according to Lee’s attorney David Shestokas. He called it a miracle that the pastor didn’t have to spend time in jail. Lee’s indictment stems from his visits to the home of a Georgia election worker whom Trump accused of pulling out “suitcases full of ballots” to interfere with the vote. He has been charged with violating Georgia’s RICO act as well as conspiracy to solicit false statements and writings, criminal attempt to influence witnesses, and influencing witnesses. Pray.
In the aftermath of the contentious presidential election in 2020, Lee had driven to Georgia from Illinois and went to Ruby Freeman’s house twice. She called the police and he told the officers, “I’m a pastor, and I’m also working with some folks who are trying to help Ruby out. And also get to some truth of what’s going on.” Pray.
Shestokas and Lee’s supporters see his outreach to Freeman not as political maneuvering but as genuine pastoral concern. A press release from Attorney Shestokas read. “If this case in Georgia is successful and criminalizes election contests, providing legal advice, lobbying legislatures, free speech, freedom of religion, or even offering pastoral services—the basic underpinnings organizing society will be severely damaged.” Pray.
The attorney said that as a former police chaplain, Lee was compelled to offer on-the-ground assistance at national crises, having ministered after the Columbine school shooting, September 11 attacks, Hurricane Katrina, the 2017 mass shooting in Las Vegas, and several natural disasters. “If you consider Reverend Lee’s history of traveling to unusual settings, and offering this combination of law enforcement and pastoral experience to assist people that are under stress, it’s not out of character,” Shestokas said. “It may not be something you do, or I do—I wouldn’t—but I don’t have the same history that he has. … You know, so many of the big stories that are headlines around the country in the last 30 years, he’s been there. He’s kind of the Forrest Gump of crises in America.” Pray.
The indictment, however, charges that Lee—along with Willie Lewis “Harrison” Floyd III of Black Voices for Trump and Trevian Kutti, a publicist—were there in an attempt to sway Freeman as Trump fought Georgia’s election results. Pray.
According to the Northern Illinois District of the Lutheran Church, Missouri Synod, Lee is a retired pastor, emeritus, a designation given to pastors over 55 who “no longer serve under a call.” His church is currently searching to fill its pastor position. Illinois Family Institute executive director David E. Smith said the legal fund raised over $10,000 as of Tuesday. He told CT that there has been a lot of interest in Lee’s case, which he believes has implications for religious liberty. “I think it’s fairly evident to people that the government is being weaponized,” Smith said. “It appears to me that Reverend Lee’s only mistake was knocking on a door … this is a precedent that cannot be permitted to stand.” Pray.
Attorney Shestokas says he and Lee regularly pray together, with the pastor thanking God for his provision and repeating that no matter the outcome “God is on his throne.” Lee is now awaiting the court arraignment in the case. Trial dates are uncertain in the Georgia case as individual defendants pursue varying legal strategies. Pray.
We pray:
For Lee and all those who have been unjustly accused of crimes that they DID NOT COMMIT….that the cases are thrown out of court before they are even brought to trial! Pray.
For full and complete vindication for President Trump and each of his 19 co-defendants! 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.
That the members of Congress will fully investigate and bring a swift end to the Biden crime family and those associated with it: Obama, Clinton, Comey, and all the corrupt individuals concerned, convicting them of treason and restoring righteousness and justice for all!! 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.
