It's me again, and we are back in this boardroom. We are back in this studio. We are back on the mics. We are back in the word of God. And we're going to pray. So welcome, brother and sister. Welcome to the prayer family across the world. We're in the book of Isaiah 41, verse 10. Please do not worry. Please do not worry. God sees your tears, He sees your
heart. This is faith under fire. And we want to pray right now for the persecuted church, the underground church. Come on, wherever you are around the world, we got to lock shields today because we are going to lock in and we are going to pray for our brothers and sisters. Faith under fire, the global prayer for the persecuted church. Father, we ask you now for our sisters and our brothers. Lord, as we pray, Lord God, Isaiah 41, verse 10, do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Father, we pray for our brothers and sisters that are worshiping in silence. We pray for our brothers and sisters that are running for their lives. We pray, dear God, for those that have been martyred for their faith today. We pray, dear God, for the love of God in the underground church, the church that cannot be shaken. We pray, dear God, for the secret church, the secret believers that gather in secret as they listen to the word of God, running through their heart. Father, as they're running through the streets, the towns and the villages, getting away, dear God, from certain situations in their hometowns and their nations. Father, we pray as believers are running from exile and they are disappearing. We pray for the underground believers through danger and worries and fears. Lord, we pray, dear God, that the righteous right hand will be upheld to every disciple. We pray for the pastors, we pray for the families of church leaders. We ask you, dear God, that the church of Jesus Christ will go in power and authority.
We pray, dear God, for all those in Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the churches that have been burnt, the pastors, dear God, that have been imprisoned. Father, we pray for the believers that have been exiled because of the name of Jesus Christ. Yet Isaiah 41, verse 10 echoes down the corridor of the secret church. Do not fear, for I am with you. Dear God, I pray right away from East Ambor, all the way to Lagos, all the way, dear God, to Bronoseres. Lord, we are praying for the persecuted Christian as it stands unshakable. We thank you that that church, that movement, that global movement cannot be shaken. We pray for over 380 million displaced believers running around the world. Father, we pray that Bibles will get in. We thank you, dear God, for those that are in prison for their faith. Lord, that they are behind bars because they believe in Jesus Christ. We pray that their faith will inspire us, dear God, that their faith will encourage us to keep walking. So, Lord, right now we pray for those that are in prison and they've been silent because of their belief in Jesus Christ. Lord, we ask you that the persecuted Christians around the world will rise in Jesus' name. The underground believers, Lord, we pray that you will remove the restrictions in Jesus' name. We ask you for the pastors and the evangelists that are in danger. Strengthen and endure, dear God, the underground church as it is coming under pressure and under attack. Father, protect the churches that are preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe and we pray for the believers that are imprisoned because of their faith, families separated because they're following God, revival in hostile regions. We thank you, dear God, that there is revival in hostile regions
right now. And we want to tell the world, the body of Christ, when one part of the body suffers, the whole church is called to stand in prayer, in faith and in love. Lord, I will not forget my persecuted brothers and sisters. The same God who strengthens them strengthens me right now in Jesus' name. Let's have a call to action. Share this faith under fire prayer to raise the awareness and intercession of the global prayer church that is under attack. May God bless you for those that are in the secret church, the underground church. Never give up. God is with you.
