May the Spirit of the Living God carry you whatever you are going through in Jesus' name. There is power in the name
of Jesus. We're in the book of Hebrews 13, verse 3, this global prayer for the persecuted and the underground church. Brother and sister, as we pray right now, we got a lot together today across the world because there is over 380 million displaced Christians, our brothers and sisters, all the way around the globe. Come on, let's pray for our brothers and sisters that are under fire.
Father, as we pray right now, we believe this faith is under fire. But right now we come before you, Lord, in the name of Jesus Christ, and we lift up the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And Father, we pray for serious breakthrough in the underground church, all the way from Istanbul, all the way to London, Father God, Beijing, Father, all the way through Mongolia, Father, in the name of Jesus, Father, Afghanistan, Eritrea, Iran, Israel, these persecuted lands, Lord, North Nigeria, South Nigeria. Come, Holy Spirit. We pray as the persecuted church cries out right now. We thank you that as the persecuted church prays and rises, Lord, we will not be silent either, Lord. We will not be silent. We will lift our brothers and sisters before you right now. And we believe that the persecuted church, the underground church, is growing through the power of the Holy Spirit. But Lord, we believe Hebrews 13, verse 3, over them. Continue to pray. Continue and remember for those that are in prison as if we were together with them in prison. And those that are being ministered to as if you yourself were suffering. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we pray for the suffering church. We pray for breakthrough right now. Our brothers and sisters, Lord, that are holding on to the gospel of hope. The persecuted church, Father, is not a headline, it is a family. And we pray for
that family right now. Lord God, as they as they run for their lives, Father, the martyrs, the martyrs have lost their families, lost their lives over the years and the hours, Father, they've been running across the world, running, dear God, from terrorism, running, dear God, from the authorities. Father, let your love be poured out across the persecuted church. But Lord, we ask you now, through the silence of this prayer, Father, will you strengthen the worshippers that are praying in quiet? The secret worshippers right now within the persecuted church. We ask you, Father God, as they are at risk, running from their lives, following Jesus, as they risk all of their lives, everything that they got, Father, we pray that freedom, that worship and prayer will break through. As they speak the name of Jesus, Lord, we lift up the body of Christ right now. Lord, as the listeners, dear God, may be listening and praying with me. Lord, we pray for those that are in the secret church, in the underground church. Father, we pray for supernatural uh covering of the blood of Jesus over that church right now, across, dear God, those areas. Lord, that faith under fire. But Lord, will you have your way we pray? Lord, we do not pray with them, we stand with them and walk with them. Lord, we just don't pray with them, we stand and walk with them. Lord, we don't just say, yes, we'll pray for you, but Lord, we will pray when we say we pray. Lord, we believe that the persecuted church is moving. We pray for the persecuted church that is in hostile nations. We believe and we pray for the prisoners that abound because of their faith. Give them strength and courage. Lord, we ask for blessings to be over the pastors and the house church. Father, don't let there be any restrictions in Bibles getting in to these countries that try to stop the word of God. Protect and heal and set the captives free.
Father, we ask you right now, for every tribe, every tongue, as we make this a life application, Father, we believe that we are part of the body. And when one part of it suffers, we all do. So, Lord, we pray for freedom and healing and miracles within the persecuted church. Lord, I want to let the world know that I stand with the persecuted church. I will remember, I will pray, and I will not be silent. Brothers and sisters, let's make this a call to action. Share this global prayer today with your brothers and your sisters across the world. May God bless you and carry you. You are spirit filled, and God is in your life. May the Holy Spirit lead you. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow.
