Thank you for joining me today on our daily Christian prayer podcast with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England. Without further ado, let's gather around the Word of God. Let's press into the book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 6. I want to tell you now that prayers break the chains. Prayers cut the umbilical cord. Do not give up in your prayer life. Do not give up. Do not allow the adversity that you face or I face. Do not allow what you see to stop you getting up and getting out and marching forward in the name of Jesus Christ.
Wherever you are today, will you join me for prayer? Sister and brother, will you lock shield with me? Will you pray for me as I pray for us as we walk together through the valley of the shadow of death? Come on, we're all in the valley, we're all in the shadow of death. But my God is making a way for you. Our God is making a way for each and every one of us. God is about to do America in your life. And don't you ever give up. Don't you ever allow society and culture, don't you allow that family to press you down. Don't you allow that marriage to crush you. Don't allow that situation to hold you back. Do not let pastor, do not let church stop you moving forward. Do not let finances be a trigger point to you stumbling. Do not look at the money, but look at the God. Do not look at religion, but look at the faith of God. Come on, sister and brother, we're getting into the book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 6. This is a great powerful scripture today. God is going to give you courage today. And the Bible says, be strong and courageous, because he will lead these people to inherit the land that I swore to their forefathers. Oh God, I thank you, Lord, that there is a covenant over our lives. I thank you that the cross of Calvary, I thank you for victory through the blood of Jesus. I thank you, Lord, that we got access to the Father through the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. I thank you that the temple curtain was torn from top to bottom. I thank you that the word is a lamp unto our
feet, a light for our path. I thank you that we are above and not beneath, that we are the head and not the tower. I thank you that the word of God is so strong in our lives. Father, we are going to be strong and we are going to be courageous. Lord, I thank you that there is victory at the door. I pray for courage for everyone today as they move forward, as they stretch out, as they, Lord, jump on the word of hope. Lord, I thank you that your word gives us strength and courage. Lord, it is essential, Lord, that we get into the promises of God from wherever we are, whatever corner of the world that we are at, Father, give us boldness in every new season. Give us boldness in the season that we're in. Father, as you're calling the listeners, as you're calling us back to the gospel, you're calling us to prayer, you're calling us to scripture, you're calling us to hope. Lord, I pray right now. Lord, I ask you that we will be rooted in God's unshakable word. And that word will draw us.
That word will pull us. That word will encourage us. That word will take us to the next level of life. Father, I thank you that we got new beginnings in God. I thank you that we got boldness, Lord, right now as we enter into God's promise. I thank you that there is strength as we trust in God's plan. There is courage to take on these spiritual steps of hope as we step out of the boat, as we jump, as Lord, we take a leap of faith onto the lake of life. I thank you that we can walk on water. I thank you, Lord, that we can walk to Jesus. Lord, help us keep our eyes on Jesus, the author, the perfecter of our faith. Lord, we're not going to sink. We're not going to drown. We're going to walk strong in the gospel of Jesus Christ. And right now, Lord, I pray that you'll give us purpose for our lives. Lord, that you will just wipe away the tears and you will carry us. But Lord, we make a life application today. We declare that I will be strong. We will be strong and courageous. Lord, we will step into the promises of God, for his word has secured our inheritance. Our inheritance, Lord, is written in the word that we are washed in the blood of Jesus, that no weapon forged against us shall prosper. As we stand on the word of hope.
We need the glory. We're tired. We're weary. And Lord, we want to rise on wings as of eagles. We want to be strong and courageous. But Lord, the temperature outside of these doors are hot, Lord. The atmosphere is heavy. Lord, the road is long. Lord, the valley, Lord, is dark. But Lord, give us strength in the valley. Give us boldness in the valley. You tell us through the great word of God. You tell us through the psalmist. You tell us through the prayers of David, Psalm 23. Lord, you tell us that you will prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies. And when we walk in the face of adversity, when we see that Goliath coming out, when we look across the plains of Jericho and we see these fortified cities, as we see these oblisk obstacles that are impossible to climb by man, Lord, you tell us through Luke very, very clearly what is impossible with God is possible with God. What is impossible can be possible because everything is possible to those who believe. And Father, I thank you that as we look at the impossibilities, God tells us it's possible, because all things are possible to those who believe. Will you strengthen us today, Lord? Will you give us courage today, Lord? Will you help us to stand on the word of God today, Lord? Will you bring the word to our heart? Open our heart today. Lord, we want to hear heaven. We want to hear the word of God. We want to hear the rhythm of the word of God. We want to hear the heartbeat of our God. We want to hear the whisper of the word. We want to feel the power of your anointing. We're tired and we're bored. Lord, we want, Lord, to live an exciting life in the scripture. Lord, we don't want to live like this anymore. We want to live in courage. We want to live in boldness. We want to live in favor. We want to live in power. We want to live in glory. We want to live in anointing. Lord, set the captives free today. Lord, I hear the sound of chains being broken. I hear the sound, Lord, of walls coming down. I hear the sound, Father, of the river being held back. I hear the sound of healing. I hear the sound of latter-day rain. Let it rain over the listeners today, but let your glory be so strong. Carry them today wherever they are in this world. Father, I thank you for your word. I thank you that, Lord, we are praying together, standing together. And Lord, bless the listeners from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Until tomorrow.
