May the Spirit of the Living God be with you. Wherever you are, we're praying today, straight out of the barrel of truth, and that is the word of God. I'm back again. It is me. I'm riding your face in the name of Jesus Christ. And we're going to tell the devil to dance out of the way today because we are praying.
Psalm 27, verse 1, for the church under fire. We're praying right now for faith under fire. We're praying for the underground church. We're praying for the persecuted church, the secret church. We're praying for the Holy Spirit to move over our brothers and sisters wherever they are across the world. Psalm 27, verse 1. Father, in the name of Jesus, the Lord is the light of my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid? Father, we thank you for the word of God. And right now, wherever we are gathering in the name of Jesus Christ, we believe in the power of the Word of God. So Lord, we pray, dear God, for faith under fire. The global prayer for the persecuted, the underground, and the secret church.
We pray, dear God, for the ministers. We pray, dear God, for the missionaries, the pastors, the leaders, dear God, right out in the mission field. We pray, Father God, for the church under fire. We pray for that secret church. We pray, dear God, for a breakthrough. All the way, dear God, from uh Beijing, all the way to Kabul. Dear God, all the way, dear God, through Afghanistan. We pray, dear God, for London. We pray for Ukraine. Spirit of the living God, we pray for Somalia, Lord, that nation coming under attack. Nigeria, North and the South. Father, Lord, Eritrea. Lord, Somalia, we bring it back to the table right now. Lord, move over Somalia and let the Lord, the Lord is the light of my salvation, whom shall I fear? The Lord is the stronghold of my life, of whom shall I be afraid? Lord, we need breakthrough, dear God. But Lord, we believe as that church, dear God, as the persecuted church gathers freely under fire, under faith, under the power, the underground church meets in silence. Lord, give them courage and let them, dear God, worship in spirit and in truth. We believe that the Lord is the light of their salvation. We believe that there is breakthrough. We believe the Lord is the stronghold of our lives. So whom shall I be afraid? We pray for pastors, dear God, that are in locked up prisons right now. Lord, behind closed doors. Lord, we pray for the persecuted church that is hidden in homes, mountains, valleys, prison cells. Lord, we ask you right now that you will bless open doors and release international, dear God, and all the ministries, dear God, on the front line of the persecuted church. We ask you, dear God, that there will be breakthrough in the name of Jesus.
Yet the gospel is still advancing like fire in the dark. We thank you, dear God, that the gospel is advancing right now. Lord is the light of my salvation. Whom shall I fear? Lord, we feel the power of God. Lord, we believe and we know that we are born again. Lord, the church, dear God, the underground church is not hidden from God. The underground church is rising in the name of Jesus. We believe that there is a stronghold right now, and it is the word of God. We believe the warriors under fire are rising. We believe, dear God, the missionaries are rising, the pastors are rising. Father, we pray for the martyrs that have given their lives for the gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray for that church under fire. We pray, dear God, for the underground believers and secret worshippers, Christians that are imprisoned and endangered right now. We pray that faith will overcome fear, strength amidst persecution, families that are separated because of their faith, revival in strict uh restricted areas, sorry, protection and courage under pressure now. Lord, we need the glory of God. We need healing right now. We need, dear God, the fire of God to burn. Lord, we believe faith right now, faith under a fire. Lord, it will not burn out. Lord, it brine, it burns bright in the name of Jesus, Spirit of the Living God.
We pray for this call to action wherever we are across the world. That we share this prayer of faith right now. Lord, immobilize the intercessors, immobilize, dear God, the underground church, and let your power reign right the way through faith under
fire. We thank you for joining us today. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Please, brother and sister, let's lock shields of faith today in the global prayer family. God bless you until tomorrow. Stay blessed.
