Father, I pray for Derek Tran. Thank you for his service to our country. May he serve you in humility and wisdom, serving not for money or power but out of love for our country, our freedoms, and our Constitution. Give him a hunger and thirst for righteousness and a desire to walk with you through Jesus Christ. Give him repentance for sin in his life. Protect him and his family.

"CRITICAL ISSUE #1: Vetted national security experts with the highest security clearance in the communication field are asking for a prayer shield for our nation in regards to risk to our communication grid. Pray for those making decisions about our grid, engineers responsible for security, and those on the front lines. "CRITICAL ISSUE #2: A request for prayer over personnel involved in U.S./Israeli relations. Pray for all those making decisions, for those both in Israel and in the U.S. who are working together on current issues in the region, and for God's purposes to be fulfilled. "We appreciate your faithful and urgent prayer for these two issues, even without many details. God knows all the specifics to each of these urgent requests, and He calls us to partner with Him as we intercede." It is no secret that all of America's cyber systems are vulnerable. That would obviously include the power grid, communications grid, water systems, and others. Our government has been asleep at the wheel, seemingly refusing to take seriously enough the warnings. Hopefully, that is incorrect, and things are being/have been done that, for security reasons, we are not being told about. Regardless, we must absolutely take warnings such as this very seriously. Its TIME FOR OPERATION IRON DOME! THE IRON DOME SHIELD OF INTERCESSION In 2024, the Israeli Military (IDF) demonstrated a remarkable air defense system to protect their people. Guy Cohen, a Messianic Jewish leader from Israel, described this remarkable system: "Israel now has a multi-layered defense array. Our current system is surprisingly effective against almost all attacks from missiles, rockets, and UAVs. The IDF armor consists of the following defensive weapons: The Iron Dome, David's Sling and The Arrow defense system. They each cover various distances, from close-range missiles all the way up to threats at the edge of the atmosphere. Currently, yet another level is being developed - laser technology."(1) As you know, Israel has been attacked by several enemies over the past 16 months. From Hamas in the South, to Hezbollah in the North, including the nation of Iran, multiple thousands of rockets and missiles have been fired at Israel. Miraculously, very few of these weapons have reached their target. Israel has been amazingly spared much death or damage. How? The Jewish people worked relentlessly (with the USA) to develop these Iron Dome Systems to protect their nation from evil missiles and rockets. They have won the defensive battle for their country. This has allowed their military to go on the offensive and severely cripple Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran! On January 27, 2025, President Trump announced, we "need an Iron Dome for the USA!" He repeated this call in February.(2) Sometimes the Lord uses "signs, wonders and other indicators" in the natural to help us see a parallel truth in the spiritual realm. 1 Corinthians 15:46: "However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual." Israel has once again become an important SIGN to God's Ekklesia in America: It is time to build and operate our own Iron Dome Shield of Intercession over our Country! The Holy Spirit is calling us to partner with Him in building a mighty Iron Dome system of prayer and intercession to protect President Trump, his agenda, and our country. I believe God's Prayer Army is at a unique place of maturity to build this spiritual Iron Dome of protection for America and all the nations. In Dutch's book, Watchman Prayer, Chapter 7 is entitled "Armed and Loaded with Prayer." He shares how our prayers build strategic boundaries. Our job as watchmen and women is to protect and empower God's purposes on earth. I believe Holy Spirit is giving His people profound wisdom and revelation from the Scriptures to protect America. Here are some powerful building blocks to operate an effective spiritual defense system throughout our land: All Authority ... Matthew 28:18: "All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth." Luke 10:19: "Behold, I give you the authority ... over all the authority of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you." The Alpha and Omega Revelation 1:8: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Exceedingly Abundantly Above ... Ephesians 3:20: "Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us." No weapon formed against you Isaiah 54:17: "No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue which rises against you in judgment you shall condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the Lord, and their righteousness is from Me," says the Lord." Angel Armies Psalm 103:20-21 (NLT): "Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty ones who carry out his plans, listening for each of his commands. Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels who serve him and do his will!
