Thank you for joining us today on a daily Christian prayer podcast with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England. We're jumping straight into the book of Romans. Romans chapter 15. Get yourself a Bible wherever you are in the office, you know, in the boardroom, digging a hole in the van, stretched out on the sun lounger, swimming a few lemps on the pole, wherever you are in the name of Jesus Christ on the walk to work, on a school run, whatever you are doing. We are recording this live here in London, England.
We push these out six a day. We hit the sweet spot right across the world. We push these out. You know, it takes a lot for us to get these out, you know, every day. We are doing this live right now and they are going out. You know, this is not in the bank. We are not keeping these up. We're not pulling on any libraries, we are doing them right now. These prayers are live and they are real. I am not AI, I am a real human being, and we are speaking right out of the word of God.
And we're gonna jump straight into Romans 15, verse 13. This is what the Bible says. May the God of all hope fill you with joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, we need to overflow. Lord, we need to overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
Today, wherever the listeners are scattered across the world, Father, from the battlefield to the boardroom, we need to hear the heartbeat of God. We need to feel the promises of the Holy Spirit. Lord, we need the rhythm of heaven. Lord, we got to get in step with your word. Father, we believe in Jeremiah. We believe in the plan of God over our lives. And Lord, we ask you that you will draw us back to the cross, that you will bring us to the cross of Calvary. Father, as we pray, Lord, through this beautiful book of Romans 15, verse 13, we know that God is filling us with hope and joy is abounding and peace, Lord, is running over. Our cup runneth over. Lord, we got encouragement today. We're encouraged, dear God. We're going to encourage ourselves, just as David did in the Old Testament when he went crying out, and God said, What are you going to do, son? David said, I'm going to encourage myself. David in strengthened himself in the Lord. Father, in the battlefield, we're going to encourage ourselves. We're going to strengthen ourselves through the word of God. May the God of all hope fill you with all joy. If you're on the battlefield, ask God to fill you with joy. If you're on the battlefield, God is about to touch your life. You know, if you are seeing bullets flying over your head, if you've got arrows coming, if you've got texts coming in left, right, and center, if you've got people chasing you down all over the place, the spirit of the Lord is about to break out. There is something big in your life that is going to break out. If you are depressed, you are worried and you are fearful, if
you feel that you're on the edge of your seat of life, God is about to do something large. God is about to do something powerful in your life because God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. And he's a jealous God. And God is looking after you. He's deployed angels over your life. The joy of the Lord is your strength. Tell yourself, sister and brother, that the power of the Holy Spirit is over your life. You are redeemed. You are bloodwashed. You are sanctified. You are a child of the living God. And as we lock prayers together with millions of people across the world, the prayer of hope, encouragement in hard times today, God, give us joy again. Give us joy again right now.
Lord, the anthem of this scripture, it rings out aloud today. Let us shine our light in the darkness. Lord, I pray, Father, for spiritual uh food right now, for warfare as we go through the warfare of life. Father, I thank you that God's character is unfailing. Lord, and as we pray through this prayer time, the listeners, Lord, are led by the Holy Spirit. I thank you that every listener is led by the Holy Spirit. Lord, that they are not led by their pastor, their mother, whoever's in their lives, their dad, Lord, they're not led by the world, but they're led by the Holy Spirit. Lord, I pray that they will be filled to the full measure with the Holy Spirit. That they will know today that the Holy Spirit is dwelling in their lives, that they will know that the God of Israel is in their lives, that they will know Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. And Jesus is living in your life. Wherever
you are, you are carrying the deity. No matter how your emotions are, doesn't matter what your mental health is saying, doesn't matter what the church is saying, doesn't matter about what the world is saying. But let me tell you this: God is living in the skin that you walk in. And He's with you at this moment in time. And we pray for hope in hard times. We pray for encouragement and joy. Peace when anxiety rises, when the wave of anxiety comes in. Father, give us the strength to stand on the shoreline of hope. Father, we believe in the faith. Lord, we believe in the word. We trust in God's timing. We thank you, God. Lord, when it becomes overwhelming, when time and life becomes overwhelming, Lord, we believe in the fire of God. Father, we ask you for refreshment in the battlefield of life. We pray for breakthrough in every area of life. But right now, Lord, we want to make this a public declaration. We want to tell the world that we're Jesus followers. We want to tell the world that we're blessed and highly favored. We want to tell the world that the God of all hope is filling us up again. We want to tell the world that the power of God is drawing us to the cross. Lord, when hope, Lord, fades. Lord, when worry comes in, when doubt moves, Father, we declare and we speak. Romans 15, verse 13 over our lives. The God of hope fills me again. The God of hope fills me to the full measure. The God of hope wraps his arms around me. The God of all hope carries you to your destiny. God is with you in every situation. Doesn't matter what it looks like as a brother or sister in Christ, God has you. He has wrapped you up in the blood of Jesus. You are marked, you are armed. He is in your life, and you have a destination to get to, and no devil is going to stop you. Angels have been deployed because of you. Angels have been put to flight because of you. And Father, we thank you for Romans 15, verse 13 today. That wherever we are, bless the listeners from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Lord, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to every situation, let the presence of the Holy God that we serve. And as the scripture that I started in says this may the God of all hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. I pray that you will overflow by the power of the Holy Spirit. May the Lord keep you and carry you until tomorrow. God bless.
