Thank you for joining us today on our daily Christian prayer podcast with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. We're pushing out a new prayer theme, and this is what we're coming up with. We're going to do this every
morning. This is going to be nine o'clock UK time. And what we're going to be doing is we're going to be praying for um the Persecuted and the Underground Church. So this is our first one. We're pushing it out. Yes, I know it's not nine o'clock, it is on a Friday afternoon. But we are just letting you know that they will start and there will be a continued roll at 9 a.m. every morning for the persecuted church. So we want to say thank you for joining us wherever you are across the world. May God bless
you. If you can support this listener-supported ministry, you know, thank you for those that listen to RB Christian Radio. That is our main thread. Thank you for those that require Bibles. We are pushing Bibles out across the world. Thank you for those that are hitting us up in the email account at infoda at dailyprayer.uk that need prayer. And also, brother and sister, thank you for those that are supporting this ministry just by three pounds a month. We are really, really blessed. May God bless you and carry you for the rest of your days on life.
So this is where we're going, and we are going to go to the great book of Hebrews 13, verse 3, and we're going to spend a few moments just praying for the persecuted church. And the title of this prayer is Faith Under Fire, Global Prayer for the Persecuted
Church. Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for our sisters and brothers, Lord, wherever they are right now within the walls of the persecuted church. But we believe, Lord, as we read this scripture out, Hebrews 13, verse 3, Father, we believe. Continue to remember those that are in prison and those who are together in the same prison with them and those who are ministered as yourselves under suffering. Father, I pray for those that are in prison, Lord, within the persecuted church, those that are going through suffering, those that are going through pain, those, dear God, that are going through the atrocities within the world of the persecuted church and the underground church. Father, we thank you that faith still burns where freedom is broken across this world today. And as we pray, Lord God, for the underground church and the persecuted church, Father, right across the world, as we lock shields together, Father, believers gather in secret right now with a whisper of worship where doors are locked and hidden rooms are. We thank you, dear God, that the call of God is calling the persecuted church to come together. And we, dear God, stand in every nation and every tribe and every tongue. And we pray as we lift up the persecuted and the underground church before our God and our king. Lord, we pray that compassion and love and protection
will be with them. Father, all the way from Beijing, all the way, dear God, to Tel Aviv, all the way, dear God, for Istanbul, dear God, all the way through Somalia, all the way, dear God, Eritrea, Iran, Father God, Korea, North Korea, South Korea, Lord, China, Japan. Father, we pray for these areas of the persecuted church. We also pray, dear God, for Israel as well. Lord, so many nations. Father, we pray for the world watch list, the top 50 within the persecuted church. We pray, Father, for those nations that are on the world watch list. We pray, Father, that the global power of prayer, Lord, as we pray right now, Christians standing strong in danger. Father, we thank you that the cross is carried with power and authority. We pray, Father, as they're running for their lives, as dear God, as they're dodging the bullets of life. Father, the atrocities, dear Lord, that happens within the villages, within the towns. Oh my God, please, in the name of Jesus, we pray for the underground church right now, Lord, that it will continue to grow. And Lord, we thank you, Father, that there is over 380 million displaced
Christians. We ask you, Father, that you will carry every one of them. We pray for protection of those that are being persecuted across the church worldwide now. Strength and courage in the underground churches, believers imprisoned for their faith, Lord. Families that have been separated by religious, dear God, persecution. Lord, we pray for pastors and leaders serving in these areas where they're restricted in nations. We pray, dear God, for revival and bold witness under pressure and under persecution. Freedom to worship in these nations, freedom to worship and to spread the gospel of hope. Father, we thank you for forgiveness is moving now in the name of Jesus. Lord, we pray for a mighty outpouring of your spirit within the persecuted church that you will bless every nation. Lord God, we thank you that it is faith under fire. But right now, the power of God is moving there, and we are interceding for our brothers and our sisters. We stand and we hold on, dear God, to the power of victory right now. Father, we thank you that we declare for the persecuted church their fight, dear God, their fight for freedom. Lord, their fight, Lord God. I pray that they will stand and be counted. Lord, I pray that you will carry them in faith, Lord, wherever they are in the name of Jesus Christ. Bless the persecuted church. Holy Spirit, move through that, Lord. Father, wherever the church is, the church under fire, faith under fire. Lord, we stand for global prayer for the persecuted church right now and the underground church. Father, we thank you that we're able to pray for our brothers and sisters that are in prison, Lord God, that are imprisoned in compounds and the atrocities, Lord God, that we can even never share over the world.
Father God, come, Lord, Holy Spirit. We pray that you'll bless the prisoners. We pray for those that are suffering for the name of Jesus Christ. Bring peace and bring hope. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. May the Lord bless you. Until tomorrow.
