Thank you for sending stuff in. And all those emails that come in, we may be uh taking a bit of time to get back to it simply because we are getting just inundated, which that's okay. Send them in, but just give us a little bit of time to respond, and we will respond to every email that comes in. And if you don't get a response, please just just refresh that in the name of Jesus. But we're praying for you wherever you are. We've got to lock
in today. We're praying for Faith Under Fire, we're praying for the persecuted church, the underground church. We are praying for the four highest intense persecuted nations across the world right now at this time, and it's North Korea, if Afghanistan, and it's Somalia, and it is Libya. We prayed for these pretty regularly, but we've got to keep these on the top of the list, and we're gonna keep praying right now. So lock shields with me. Come on, we're in. Father, in
the name of Jesus, we're praying for our brothers and sisters where their faith is under fire. The persecuted church, we're praying for encouragement, we're praying, dear God, for endurance and God's protection across these hostile nations. And wherever they are, dear God, from London to Cairo, dear God, from Cairo to Eastan Ball, dear God to Mumbai, Father to Bronasares. We pray, as we recall this live here in London, England, that the Spirit of the Lord will be over our sisters and brothers. And we believe that Matthew 5, verse 10, is over the church family today. We believe that the persecuted church family, Lord God, is being protected. So, Father, as we pray, Psalm, dear God, as we pray these beautiful psalms, these prayers over them, Lord, we want to pray first.
We want to pray Psalm 23. Father, we thank you that even though they walk through the valley of the shadow of death, they will fear no evil. So, Father, we pray for those that are walking, dear God, through Psalm 23 that are real in the intensity of the valley of trouble. But Lord, we also pray Matthew 5, 10 over their lives. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Father, that's a big scripture to get our minds around. But Lord, we thank you, dear God, for those that are being persecuted because of righteousness. And Lord, we pray, dear God, for those that are imprisoned because of their faith. And Lord, as the world searches hope, Lord, we pray right now for the persecuted believers. We pray, dear God, that the love of God is with them wherever they are. Father, we pray that you will give them courage, endurance, and spiritual resilience, dear God, among Christians suffering in hostile environments. We pray for a breakout right across those nations. Father, in the name of Jesus, will you move by your glory, your love, and your righteousness? Father, right the way through North Korea, right the way through Afghanistan, right the way through Somalia, right the way through Libya. We pray that Libya will be saved, that Somalia
will be saved. Dear God, Afghanistan will be saved, North Korea will be saved. We pray, dear God, for those that are trapped in those hostile nations. We thank you that Bibles are getting through. We thank you that Bibles are getting through in the name of Jesus Christ. We thank you that no border can stop the work of God. And we pray 2 Timothy chapter 3 verse 12. Everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. Father, that's another big scripture. Anyone, anyone or everyone, depending on what translation, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted. Father, we pray for the persecuted church, the suffering church, the whispering church, the underground church, that the love of God will be over them. Lord, as their faith is under fire, protect them, strengthen the believers in the persecuted. Lord, the whispering church, the quiet church. Let them hear the power of God. We thank you that Bibles are getting through, that the Holy Spirit is with them. We pray for courage. We pray for protection. We pray for every persecuted believer. Lord God, for those that are imprisoned because of their faith. Those, dear God, that have left families behind. Father, bless the families that have been left behind. Give them insurance. Dear God, I pray right now that you'll give an insurance that their loved ones are in heaven. Lord, let them have endurance today. Give them bold faith, Lord. We pray for comfort and peace and hope. May the Spirit of the Lord be over you wherever you are today.
We declare that the persecuted believers stand strong in the courage of God, protection and unshakable hope today. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Never give up. The glory of the Lord is with you. Until tomorrow.
