Jesus Christ. We're jumping into Joshua chapter 1, verse 9. We're jumping into Joshua chapter 1, verse 9. And the title of this, we know where we're going at this moment, faith under
fire. We're praying for our brothers and our sisters, the persecuted, the underground church, the secret church that is gathering right now as they're listening to the whisper of God, as they search the heart of God. Father, we pray for this scripture over the persecuted church right now, wherever they are, Lord, faith under fire. We ask you, dear God, wherever they are, from London to East Ambul, from East Anbor to Lagos, from Lagos to Bronosueris, Lord, we pray right now, Lord, for Israel. We pray, dear God, for Ghana. We pray, dear God, for Canada. We pray, Father, right now for Ukraine. We ask you, Lord, that you will move, dear God, through China. And Lord, we also pray for North Korea. Father, we ask you for breakthrough as the secret believers are gathering. Lord, we ask you for the top 50 world watch list around the world. We ask you, dear God, that you will move through every persecuted land.
And Lord, you tell us, have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord thy God goes with you wherever you go. I believe, we believe, we all understand that the Spirit of the Lord is over you today. Whether you're gathering in secret, whether you're running for your faith, I thank God for your lives as we gather across the world, as millions of following Christ in silence, under threat, behind locked doors, we pray for the persecuted church, that it rises daily from nations, dear God. We ask you that faith will rise. Lord, as they are running for their lives. We believe in Joshua 1, verse 9, as they stand on that anthem, courage to face fear, strength in areas of suffering. Father, will you touch their lives right now in the name of Jesus? The same God that walked with Joshua in the battles, Lord, I thank you that you are with the pastors that are in prison for preaching the gospel. The believers that denied, dear God, the brothers and sisters, Lord God, we ask you, Father, as they are denied Bibles in prisons, as they are living in denial,
dear God, we pray right now for breakthrough that they cannot get the word of God. We ask you, Father, for families that have been torn apart by faith. The underground church is not forgiven. If they are living, dear God, if they are living in certain areas of this nation and the world, we pray that you will strengthen them in the mighty name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Lord, let there be an outpour. Lord, we pray for the persecuted church. We pray for courage. We pray for the church will rise in comfort and endurance. The brothers and sisters that are under fire. May God's word run swiftly through every closed nation. But Father, we believe Bibles are getting through. We believe, dear God, that God is moving right now in the Ukraine. We believe God is moving in Russia, South Korea, China. We believe right the way through Eritrea, Somalia. We pray for Somalia right now. Lord, we thank you for Nigeria, Africa. We believe that there is breakthrough. We ask you, dear God, give comfort to people that are in prison, dear God, because of the word of God.
Father, families that have been separated for their faith, renewal in restrictured areas, dear God. We pray right now for India, Lord, as India is climbing the world watch list. We ask you for breakthrough in the spirit of the living God. We pray for the church that is gathering in secret. We pray, dear God, that they will hear the heartbeat of God. Lord, as the word is whispered, dear God, through the lips of the persecuted Christian in the secret church, the underground church, the house church. Lord, we thank you that that's where revival is, that's where the power of God is. And we declare, I will not fear. My God is with me. His presence gives me courage to stand firm in faith.
Brother and sister, let's make this a call to action now and let's share this faith under fire prayer with someone that is being persecuted. May the Spirit of the Lord be over you. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow.
