Thank you for joining us today on a daily Christian prayer podcast with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England. Father, we thank you that you are preparing a table before me in the presence of our enemies. Wherever you are, never give up, never ever give up. There is no such word as failure in your life. There are just trials and tribulations. And God is with you. We walk through the valley of the shadow of death. The Lord is our shepherd through the prayers of David.
He is bringing you into a good place. And I'm going to read in just two moments' time. We're going to go to Psalm 23, verse 5. And He is preparing a table. He is going to give you rest in the presence of your enemies. He's going to anoint your head with oil. Your cup will overflow. If you can, if it is possible, continue to pray for this ministry. Please lift us up with your prayers. Please lift us up before the Lord. And whatever your life looks like, if you can keep walking in the word. You keep moving. You don't give up. You allow the Holy Spirit to lead you, to chisel you. You know, God is with you. God has you on the potter's will. God is shaping you. You are in a very terrific, mighty place at this moment in time. God is shaping you. It's a great place for you to be. It's a great place for us to be in. We are waiting for the coming of Jesus Christ. And He is shaping you. God has a plan for your life. And I want to tell you that there's victory and there's blessings right in the valley of the shadow of death. God is preparing the table for you.
Let's get straight into this prayer time. Father, we thank you that you're preparing a table before me in the presence of our enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup runneth over. Father, I thank you that there is power in your word, that you are strengthening us, that you have enabled us to do great things. Lord, give us boldness, Lord, right in the face of adversity. When we face Goliath, when we see the walls of Jericho, when we hear the sound of Pharaoh's chariots chasing us to the Red Sea, when we it looks like we're hemmed in at the Red Sea, Father, we thank you that you're gonna make a way where there is no way. We thank you, Father, that we might look like we're gonna foul, but we can't fail because we got the word. We can't lose because we got the king. Lord, we believe in victory and blessings in the presence of the enemies in our lives. So today, Lord, give us boldness, give us encouragement. Lord, let us rise on wings as of eagles. But right now, you are preparing a table before me in the presence of our enemies. In the presence of trouble, we're getting sustained. In the presence of evil, we're getting peace. In the trouble, dear God, of the valley of the shadow of death, Lord, you are feeding us, you are sustaining
us. Lord, you have equipped us right in front of the enemy's eyes. Lord, we are standing before Goliath, and Goliath is gonna fall. Lord, we're looking at Jericho and Jericho is gonna fall. Lord, we hear the sound of chariots, we hear the sound of the system of the world coming up behind us. But Lord, you're gonna make a way in the Red Sea. Father, we we hear the sound of the power of the river Jordan. And Father, it is at full flood stage. But you, dear God, you're gonna make a way in the river Jordan, and we're gonna go through on dry ground because Lord, you're preparing, you're making a way where there is no way. Lord, there is a banquet. Lord, we're sitting at a table that has got a banquet going on. And Father, I thank you that there is a promise of victory in the darkest moment, a promise of victory over our enemies. Lord, we're hungry for the word of God. We're hungry for hope. Lord, we need God's presence to overflow in our lives. We need anointing on our heads. Lord, we need to be led by the Holy Spirit. Lord, thank you that we are marked with the blood of Jesus. The power of the word is over our lives. Lord, we believe that we got victory in the battlefield. We believe there's favor at work and at home. We believe that we got peace in the very midst of trouble. We believe that we got boldness to stand strong. We believe that we got breakthrough right now in the name of Jesus. We believe that we got anointing to serve. We believe that we are overcomers, Lord, by the power of the word of God. And right now, give us strength under pressure. Everyone, Lord, that is under pressure, I pray that they will feel the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, that they will rise on wings as of eagles, that they will feel your love, your mercy, your presence. And we pray for those, dear God, that feel oppressed, those that feel heavily weighed down. Lord, we pray for those that just got awake, a cloak over them, Lord, of heaviness. Lord, we pray that you will lift that cloak, that you will give them freedom right now, Lord. Father, remove the cloak, remove the heaviness, remove the burden in the name
of Jesus. Prepare that table, prepare the banquet right in the trouble of adversity. Lord, we're gonna stop focusing on the enemy. Lord, we're gonna concentrate on making this a life application. We're gonna tell the world right now, we're gonna shout this across the airways, Lord. We're gonna stop focusing on the enemy, and we're gonna start giving you thanks because our cup runneth over. Lord, we're in a good place. We're in a place of victory. The Spirit of the Lord is over us, and today, Lord, we celebrate victory right in the valley. And Lord, as the psalmist writes in Psalm 23, verse 5, you prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil, my cup runneth over. I believe that the sisters, that the brothers, that the listeners on the other side of this mic, their cup is running over. There is victory all around them. Lord, you are blessing them in the presence of adversity. You are blessing them in the presence of their enemies. And right now, Lord, through this global prayer ministry, as we lock shields of faith, as we stand on the word of God, we want the fire, we want the power, we want the glory of God. Wherever you are, sister and brother, thank you for joining us today. The Spirit of the Lord is over you. You are anointed, and the word of God is in your innermost being. Don't you ever give up. Keep walking forward. Even though you're in the darkest walk that you've ever been in your life, let me tell you this right now: the darkness cannot touch you because you carry light, you bear light. Let your light shine, let your glory, let the power of God, Lord, let that anointing cover the sisters and the brothers and let them glow for Jesus Christ. Thank you for joining me today. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. May the Lord bless you and keep you until tomorrow.
