Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Van Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where faith meets the world in daily devotion and global hope. Sisters and brothers, I gotta tell you right now, don't you ever give up. You find that courage in the name of Jesus Christ right now, the glory, the power, the anointing over your life. Thank you so much for praying with us. It means so much for your emails. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you for those that are sowing a seed. Thank you for those that are just standing with us. Come on, we got to knuckle down today wherever
you are. If these prayers are blessing you, please tap the following button on Apple, Spotify, Bussprout, and just leave us that quick short review. The glory, the power, the anointing is with you. Thank you for those that are sowing a financial seed. You know where you can find that. You know, buy us a coffee, hit the link in the show notes below. But we've got
to pray. We're praying, dear God, right now. And I want you to lock in with me. I'm inviting you into prayer, and we're praying for victory, we're praying for stability, we're praying for hope, and we're praying for the persecuted church. Come on, we got to stand today for our brothers and sisters. I know we're worried, I know we're tired about our own lives, I know we're exhausted, I know everything that's going on, and I can feel your weight of your heart right now. But we are gonna lock into prayer and we're gonna pray for faith under fire, the persecuted
church. Father, we come to you today and we lift our brothers and our sisters, Lord, our family, dear God, our families that are in war-torn nations that are running for their lives. Father, across the world, as believers gather in secret places, hidden rooms, silent homes, Lord, forest pathways. Lord, we pray, dear God, as doors are being closed right now on prison cells. Father, we pray and we ask, God, that you will move right now in the name of Jesus Christ. But Lord, we pray and we push this word over the persecuted church. We believe that the secret church is growing. We believe that the underground church, dear God, is moving at such an acceleration, no devil can get near it. No government can crush it. No one can get near the kingdom of God. Father, we thank you that Bibles are getting in. Lord, we thank you that Bibles are getting into lands where Bibles are not allowed. We thank you for the Bible smugglers. We thank you that the Bibles are getting deep in, Lord, to those war-torn places. Father, we thank you for the hidden believers. Supernaturally protect them, carry them, anoint them, let them feel the power of God over their lives. Father, their faith is under fire. And Lord, we pray, Lord, as we stand on the fringe, Lord, as we stand on the outside of the garden, Father, we believe that the power of God is with our sisters and brothers. And Lord, we pray, we pray this beautiful scripture
over their lives. We pray 2 Corinthians 4 verses 8 through to 9. We are hard-pressed on every side, but we are not crushed, perplexed, but we are not in despair, persecuted, but we are not abandoned, struck down, but not destroyed. Father, I thank you that the kingdom of God is not destroyed. And we pray now for supernatural power, for Christians that are living under surveillance, through fret, hostile, dear God, those that are in prison, those that are in danger right now, those that are worshiping as they whisper the word of God. We thank you, dear God, for the families, Lord, that are continuing the word of praise right now. We thank you, dear God, for those that are in prison, prisoners of faith, for their belief in Christ
Jesus. But right now, Lord, we come before you and we ask for supernatural protection, Lord, over hidden believers. We're praying for courage in the underground worshippers. We're praying for strength, dear God, for prisoners of faith. We're praying for endurance under interrogation and under pressure. We're praying for safety over the secret gatherings right now in the greatest name in heaven and earth. Bring comfort, bring peace, bring boldness right now. We're praying for boldness to share Christ Jesus in restricted nations. We're praying, dear God, for provision for those that are displaced, Christian families. We're praying for revival in persecuted regions. We're praying for the gospel to advance, dear God, in those areas that are coming under threat. Lord, we believe in the miracles of God. And right now, Lord, we declare over the persecuted church, the whispering church, Father, that it is not defeated. We pray for the persecuted
believers. They are not crushed, not abandoned, not destroyed, but God upholds them with his supernatural strength. Lord, we thank you for the persecuted believer. Bless them in the secret church, the underground church, the church that is in the house groups, imprisonment right now. Lord, carry them by the word of the Lord Jesus Christ. Anoint them. Father, I thank you that we have been able to pray and to stand together. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, never give up. There is victory in your life. The Spirit of the Lord is over you. Until tomorrow.
