on, brother and sister, we're gonna get straight down uh to brass tacks and we're gonna get straight into prayer. We're in Joshua chapter 1, verse 9, and we gotta pray for guess what we're praying for? We're praying for courage right now in this quick fired moments of faith. I need courage, Lord. In the name of Jesus, every heart right now, Lord, every ear, every human being that is listening, every heart that is receiving, Lord, we need courage. Lord, I pray, Lord, whatever the thermal temperature is around the world, Lord, it feels quite hot, Lord. Lord, the temperature feels quite hot, Lord. There is something in the atmosphere, there is something happening across this
world. And dear God, if there's ever a time that we need Jesus Christ, we come to you right now in the power of the word of God, and we pray for courage to rise. Lord, we pray, dear God, and as we pray through Joshua chapter 1, verse 9, have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous, do not be afraid, do not be dismayed, for the Lord thy God goes with you wherever you go. Father, you are with us, you never leave us nor forsake us. And Lord, as we pray, Joshua 1 9, Lord, have I not commanded you? You tell us, you're telling us to be strong. I pray for the listeners now to be strong. I pray for them, dear God, as they go into work, as they go into school, Lord, as they are on the commute run, wherever they are, Lord, whatever situation they're going into, I pray that they will be strong. And Lord, not just strong, but they will be bold, they will be courageous, they will be like lions, Lord God, that they will glow the power of God. I pray that they will not be afraid. Lord, I believe Joshua 1 verse 9 is for every heart today that we're praying over. Lord, myself, all of us here right now, in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, you're telling us, have I not commanded you? God has commanded you. God has commanded me to be strong and courageous.
But Father, in the name of Jesus, how do I strengthen myself? Brother and sister, we are in prayer right now, and this is what the Bible says. And God told David something very, very clear. He said, Strengthen yourself in the Lord. So sometimes we've got to get the word open. Sometimes we've got to praise him when we're down. Sometimes we got to praise him when we're lost and we're weary and we're tired. Sometimes we've got to shout in the name of Jesus. When we're walking through the valley of the shadow of death, we've got to shout in the name of Jesus. Father Lord, we're not gonna have, dear God, this pressure of this battle. We're not gonna have hesitation anymore. We're not gonna have emotional fatigue. We're not gonna allow fear to make us unknown. We're not gonna allow fear to mess
with our mind. Wherever we are, from Bronesseres, from Bronaceres to Jamaica, from Jamaica to Nepal, from Nepal, dear God, to Kuala Lumpa, wherever we are, right the way around Asia, right the way, dear God, through Europe, Spirit of the living God, Lord, we're telling each other right now. We're shouting across the pond. We're calling across the desk. We're telling them across the other side of the field. We're telling them next to us in the van right now. We're looking at each other and we're saying, be strong. The Bible says, be strong, sister. The Bible is saying, be strong, brother, be strong and courageous. You tell your friend, you tell your family, I'm gonna be strong for Jesus. I'm gonna rise on wings as of eagles. I'm not gonna be afraid anymore. I'm not gonna be discouraged, for the Lord thy God is with us wherever we go. Oh my good God, in the name of Jesus Christ, you're with us. You never leave us nor forsake us. Wherever we are, this word is fully loaded, fully powered. We believe that your strength, dear God, is with us. We believe that we are rising today. Lord, wherever we are across the field of life, whatever is happening, Lord, if we're on the treadmill in the gym, hallelujah. If we're on the treadmill of the of life, hallelujah.
Father, if we're walking across the typerope of life, Lord, help us not to look down, but Lord, help us to look up, to focus, Lord, not what's beneath, but what's above. The king is above. Brother and sister, I gotta tell you in the close of this prayer, the king is calling you. He's telling you to keep walking, he's telling you not to be afraid. He declares this word over you. He's telling you to be strong and courageous. Don't give up, never give in, never allow the devil to tear you down. You rise in the name of Jesus. Come on, let's get a hold of today. Let's get a hold of the word of God. And God's breath is in your lungs. The Spirit of the living God is over your life. There is power, there is anointing. I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, let the joy of the Lord be your strength.
