We'd love to stand with you in prayer as you are part of this daily prayer family. Come on, let's get straight
in. We're praying today for an area of real hardship. We're praying for an area, and this is what is titled. We you know where we're gonna go. We're gonna go to the persecuted church, and this is what we're praying for out of the book of Hebrews 13, verse 3. Faith under fire. We are praying for the persecuted Christian around the world. Without further ado, let's read the scripture and let's get straight in. Continue to remember those in prison as you as if you were them together. In Jesus' name. And for those who are ministered, also minister them for those that are suffering. Hebrews 13, verse
3. Father, we thank you for the power of the word of God today. And Lord, we continue to remember those in prison as if we were together with them in prison, and to those who are ministered as if it was us being ministered to. Father, we pray for the brother and sister within the world of the persecuted church. We ask you, dear God, that you will lift up the persecuted church today as they endure, as they run, as they move forward under the cloud of fear. Father, we thank you that the power of the word of God is with the brothers and sisters within the persecuted church, the underground
church, the secret church, that church that gathers in North Korea, Somalia, Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, and Iran. We pray for every nation where Jesus Christ, the name of Jesus, is illegal. We pray as they gather for worship, as they gather for power, as they own their own Bibles, as Lord, they're hungry for the Word of God. We pray that Bibles will get in in the name of Jesus Christ, that the Word of God will get in to those areas, dear God, of hard persecution. We pray, dear God, for spiritual partnership. As we walk with the brothers and sisters, Lord, those 380 million displaced Christians, we bring them to you right now, Lord. Father, the persecuted church, the underground church, the suffering church. Let your glory, let your love, let your power be over them today. And Lord, we ask you, Father, that you will strengthen the underground church. Lord, as this church is under fire, give them courage, protect them, miracles and victory in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We pray, Father, that the love of God will be so strong over every town, every village. Lord, as people are on their run for their lives, Lord, as they're losing loved ones and friends, as churches are being uh desecrated, dear God, as churches are being destroyed. Father, we pray that the church of Jesus Christ will rise. We thank you that the church doesn't need a building, but Lord, we are the body of Christ. We are the church. So, Father, in the glorious name, in the beautiful name, we pray for the believers that are in prison for
their faith. We pray for Christians that are in North Korea, restricted in certain areas of their life, protection over secret house churches. Lord, this is a big area. Father, we bring this before you, the secret house church, that you will move through that, that they have boldness to preach the gospel under persecution. Bibles, we pray for Bibles to reach those closed nations today. Families that are martyred because they belong to the Word of God. We ask you, dear God, that you will bless the missing believers that just disappear, Father, wherever they are right now in the darkest, the most awful prisons on earth. We pray for the persecuted church, that we lift them up right now. Lord God, every nation, every tribe, every tongue, that we will pray for the underground church and that underground church will grow in the name of Jesus. Lord, as they worship freely, as they are calling for prayer, we thank you that freedom, freedom is over them today, Lord. And we stand with the persecuted church and we ask you, dear God, that it will not be silent. That, Lord, the persecuted church will rise in these lands, dear God, that are holding them down. We pray, Father, for the governments. We pray for the church as it gathers. Lord, we ask you that Bibles will get in, underground pastors will get moving forward, that prayer groups will rise, and the glory of God will be with our brothers and sisters within the persecuted church. Father, we thank you that we are in a safe land here in London. Lord, and we thank you that many of us are in safe nations. But Lord, again, we pray for North Korea, Somalia, Afghanistan, China, Pakistan, and Iran. We pray for these nations where Jesus Christ, the name of Jesus, is illegal. As they gather for worship right now, we pray that there will be breakthrough. Father, we thank you that you are blessing the underground church, the secret church, that church, Father God, that is hungry for the glory of God. Bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. But Father, we thank you that the church is under fire, that faith is under fire. And today, as we pray globally for the persecuted church, the underground church, the suffering church, and the secret church, bless it, we pray in Jesus'
name. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, stay blessed.
