I want to encourage you. I try to be as real as I possibly can in these quick-fired moments. You know, I suffer with anxiety, I suffer with fear and all that stuff. And we're going to dive straight into prayer, but I want to let you know we are not and you are not alone. God is with us. We're going
to pray now. We're going to pray Psalm 91, verse 11. And we're praying for the faith under fire. We're praying for our sisters and our brothers in the persecuted church. And I pray for you right now that God will bless you wherever you are around the world. But come on, let's pray for our sisters and brothers. Let's get right into the word. Let's get right into prayer at this moment in time. I ask God that he will strengthen you and carry you today. Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that angels
will guard the persecuted church. We pray, Father God, for Psalm 91, verse 11. For the Bible says, For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Father, I just pray for the listeners wherever they are now. Lord, I pray for those that are not in the persecuted church, but Lord, I pray that you will bless them. For those that are in the persecuted church, bless them. And I pray, dear God, for the secret church, the underground church. We pray for the persecuted Christian right now, wherever they are, Father, all the way from China to Afghanistan, dear God, to Eritrea, North Korea. We pray for China. We pray again for Afghanistan. Lord, North Korea, South Korea, Eritrea, Somalia, Sudan. Father, we are praying for these areas of hostility. We pray for our
sisters and brothers. We pray for spiritual breakthrough. We pray, dear God, that you will be with the families who have lost their loved ones and their friends, dear God, that have been martyred for the faith. We pray for those pastors, those leaders, those Christians, whoever they are, Lord, whatever position they hold, Lord, born-again Christians that are prisoners for faith. Lord, I pray that you will bless them right now. God, protect the underground church. Father, let your spirit be over them today. The prayer for the persecuted Christian, the secret church, the underground church, the hidden church, the church that is on the run. Father, we thank you that they are not the forgotten church.
They are the church that is right out there. We pray that you will fill them to the full measure of your glory. Father, as persecution tries to silence the church, but Christ strengthens his peoples in the shadows. We pray for those that are gathering for whispering worship now. Those that are gathering, dear God, on the battlefield, dear God. We pray for those that are gathering, dear God, in secret house churches. We ask you, Father, that your presence and your love, dear God, will move into them areas of persecution. That the brothers and sisters around the world, we thank you that faith is not forgotten. We thank you, dear God, that you are blessing them. We pray for courage to keep
them strong. We pray wherever they are, Lord, as the Holy Spirit ministers quietly in homes fills, dear God, prison cells. Lord, those that are suffering for the name of Jesus Christ, we believe that faith has not forgotten them. Their courage is seen by heaven. The glory is over the whispering church. Father, as they gather in whispers, dear God, of echoes of heaven, as they lift up the name of Jesus under pressure, as their faith is under fire. Lord, as their faith, dear God, is being stretched beyond human understanding. Lord, as they are targeted, dear God, by certain areas, Father, we pray for those that are running for their lives. We pray for those that have lost their families. We ask you, dear God, that Psalm 91, 11 will strengthen them today, for he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all
your ways. Father, we thank you, Lord, and we ask for protection over the persecuted Christian. We're asking for God to strengthen believers in dangerous nations. We're praying for courage for the secret gatherings. Lord, we ask you that as we intercede for prisoners of faith, we declare that Jesus Christ is present with the hidden church. Praying for families torn apart by persecution. Holy Spirit, bring angelic protection according to your word. Bless our sisters and brothers wherever they are today, hiding, hiding because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Let them feel the love of Jesus.
My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, stay blessed.
