Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where faith meets the world in daily devotion and global hope. This is your five-minute commuter prayer, quick fired moments of faith, as we lock shields together across this world to get us through. Because we stand together, we walk together, we believe in the word of
God. If these prayers are blessing you, tap that button on Apple Spotify Buzzsprout and leave us just a quick short review. You can also uh help us with this listener-funded ministry just by three pounds a month at Buy Me a Coffee. Hit the link in the show notes below. It's us, it is me, it is all of us. We are in because we belong to the kingdom of God and we are grafted in, and nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
Jesus. We're in Matthew 28. We're in Matthew chapter 28, verse 18, and this is faith under fire. All authority belongs to Jesus Christ.
We're praying right now for the persecuted church. We're praying for our brothers and sisters that are caught in war-torn lands. We're praying for the worshippers that worship in secret, in spirit, and in truth. Father, in the name of Jesus, we speak this word over the persecuted church. We speak this and claim this word over, dear God, the listeners and the pastors, the brothers and sisters that are running because of the gospel of hope. Father, we pray for those that have been martyred, that have left their families, the pastors, dear God, that are in prison for their faith. Lord, in prison because of their faith. Lord, churches are shutting down. Father, we believe that the Spirit of the Living God is in the persecuted church, is in the secret church, in the underground church. Come, Holy Spirit, we pray right now. We ask you, dear God, wherever we are around the world, Lord Jesus, that you are King of kings and Lord of
Lords. But right now we declare Matthew 28, verse 18. Then Jesus came to them and said, All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Father, we thank you that the church has authority in Jesus Christ. Lord, we believe that the body of Christ has authority in Jesus Christ. And we pray, dear God, right away across the world today. We pray for those that are feeling discomfort, those that are in fear. We pray, dear God, that victory will touch the secret church, the believers church, the whispering church.
Father, wherever they are, from Pakistan to Nigeria, China to North Korea. Father, we pray for the church, dear God, that is being persecuted. It still whispers the word of God. Lord, no wall, no prison, no regime can silent the one who reigns over heaven and earth. And today, Lord, faith under fire declares that Jesus still has all authority. So, Lord, we pray for every believer right now around the world. But Lord, we narrow it down a little bit now. And we pray for the secret church. We pray for the underground church, that they will hear the rhythm and the authority of Jesus Christ. Governments, dear God, will turn to Jesus. Leaders will turn to Jesus. That nothing can stop the kingdom of God. And we pray right now for that power, that whispering church, the church that echoes, dear God, the church without walls, the church in all these persecuted nations around the world. Lord, we stand with the Bible-believing believers. We stand with the Christians right now that are under pressure. Lord, we pray that you, dear God, will give strength to the secret church in Pakistan and Asia. Lord, we pray for the underground believers in China and North Korea. Lord, we are interceding for Nigerian Christians facing violence and fear at this moment in time. We declare the authority through Jesus that you overtake and you overcome all situations in the most greatest and powerful name, in the name of Jesus
Christ. We pray that multiple Bibles, we pray that Bibles will get through and over the borders, that nothing will stop the Word of God. We ask you, Father, Lord, that you will bring comfort and peace to the families of martyrs that have been taken out of this world because they love Jesus Christ. Bless the evangelists and the pastors that risk their lives for the gospel. Let the authority of the word of God whisper down the corridor of the secret church. Bless the secret believers. Lord God, in the name of Jesus Christ. But Matthew 28, 18, all authority is in Jesus Christ.
My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. May the Spirit of the Living God be over you wherever you are today. Never give up. Let's stand with our brothers and sisters within the secret church until tomorrow.
