Brother and sister, the love of God is over your lives, but we got to pray for four different areas around the world. These areas are coming up, these nations are rising right now. Wherever you are, we're praying for our brothers and sisters within the persecuted church, faith under fire. We've got to bring them before the Lord right now. And we're praying at these early doors. We're praying this morning. We're praying at the evening. We're praying in the middle of the day, wherever we are. Father, we are praying for our sisters and brothers within the world of the persecuted church, the underground church, the secret church, the whispering church, the church, dear God,
that is running for their lives. Lord, we pray for those families that have lost loved ones because they've been martyred for the gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray for those that are in prison for their faith. We pray right now that the love of God, the peace of God will be over Eritrea. We bring Eritrea, we bring India, we bring Somalia, and we bring Myanmar. These four areas, we pray, dear God, that the love of God will touch the persecuted church within these nations. Lord, we pray that Eritrea will receive Bibles. Lord, that there will be a flooding of Bibles in India. Somalia will fill the wave of the Holy Spirit, that Myanmar will be exalted in the name of Jesus Christ in the eyes of the Lord. But right now, Lord, Father, we come before you and we pray for our brothers and sisters right now as the sun rises, as the sun sets over their lives. We are praying for strength. We're praying for protection, endurance, we're praying for the believers in Eritrea, India, Somalia, and Myanmar. We're praying for the love of God right now. And as we rest here in London, England, Father, we pray from London all the way to Delhi, from Delhi to India, from India, dear God, all the way to Botswana, from Botswana to Nigeria, from Nigeria, dear God, to Tel Aviv. Let the Spirit of the Lord be over these nations.
But right now, Lord, we anchor down into Hebrews 13, verse 3. Continue to remember those in prison as if we were together with them in prison. Father, we pray for the prisoners of faith. We pray at this hour that the love of God will be with them. Those that are really scared, that are in prison right now, the secret church, the whispering church. Father, we pray that you will shield the believers, the families that are under constant pressure. Lord, we come before you to the cross of Calvary and those that are experienced injury, life-threatening situations, the darkness and the feeling of being overwhelmed. Father, put food in, put supplies in, put shelter in, safety. We pray, dear God, for the church that is gathering right now for prayer, the whispering church, the secret church, the underground church, the church, dear God, of Jesus Christ. Father, we thank you that that church is growing at such a rate. We pray that you will give them courage and strength, that they will know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. We thank you that the Lion of Judah, the Lion of Judah is with the persecuted church. And wherever they are gathering, we pray, dear God, that they will hear the heartbeat of God, the whisper of God, the power of the Holy Spirit. We declare that God's strength and protection is with our brothers and sisters that are being persecuted for Jesus Christ right
now. So, Lord, protect the churches, shelter and bless the believers, the families that are under constant attack. Give them courage when fear starts to rise, healing where there is injury, hope in darkness. Come, Holy Spirit, we pray that you will bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet, that they will know that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior. Lord, let courage abound. Lord, let your glory move. Lord, we pray for endurance, the prayer for hope, and the prayer for strength. May the Spirit of the living God be with you. Wherever you are today, I pray that the love of God will keep you strong. God is with you. Never ever give up. There is power in the name of Jesus Christ. Until tomorrow.
