Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Ben Cooper recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes. Faith, hope, and strength in the beautiful name of Jesus Christ. I don't know where you are, I don't know what you are doing, but I want you to pause if you can at this moment and will you lock in with me wherever you are? Let's pray right now.
But let's we're gonna pray for four nations. We're gonna pray uh for the persecuted church, we're gonna pray for the nations that are really coming under that hammer, and we're gonna believe that God is gonna free them, and we're gonna pray for North Korea, Eritrea, Afghanistan, Somalia. These are high on the agenda of the persecuted church.
But I want to pray for you first. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for every listener that's with me. Bless them. Lord, I pray that you will bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Lord, give them freedom. Father, we come to you now, in the name of Jesus. Lord, we are bringing our sisters and our brothers in the persecuted church, the underground church, the believers that are standing in that secret place, faith under fire. We pray for those where their faith is under serious fire. And wherever we are, from London to Beijing, from Beijing to Lagos, from Lagos to Cairo, from Cairo all the way, dear God, to Japan, from Japan all the way, dear God, right away to Venezuela. Lord, we are praying right now for Jamaica. We're praying for Brazil. But Lord, we come to you and we pray for our brothers and sisters that are running for their lives because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. And we pray, Hebrews 13, verse 3, over their lives. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together in the same prison. And those who are being mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering. Lord, we jump in the
arena and we pray for our brothers and sisters, Lord, in the persecuted church. As we stand on the rock of all ages, we believe in the power of the word. And Lord, as we search the Father's heart right now, Lord, as the persecuted church wakes up as it runs in the middle of the day, Lord, as it's looking for strength and courage, Father, we stand with them in prayer. Lord, we are asking for their faith to rise, that you will give them endurance, that the believers suffering in silence now will know the power of the Holy Spirit. And Father, in the name of Jesus, we lift up that beautiful persecuted church, the underground church, the whispering church, that secret church today.
We pray for our brothers and our sisters in North Korea. We pray for our brothers and our sisters in Eritrea. We pray for them in Afghanistan, in Somalia, we pray that strength will rise as they meet in silence, as they whisper prayers to you in the hidden rooms, as they live in constant threat for the run of their life. Lord, we also bring for those before you to the cross, those dear God, that are running for their lives, those that are scared because they believe in Jesus
Christ. Lord, provide food, shelter, safe passage. Lord, we pray that you will give them holy boldness, holy boldness in the name of Jesus Christ, that they will find that they are walking in boldness, in strength, and let their light shine. But we are asking you, dear God, for those that are gathering in secret, for those, dear God, that are being pressurized, for those that are imprisoned because of their faith, the prisoners of faith right now. We pray that the love of God will strengthen them. Let your love, your glory, that unshakable presence be with our brothers and sisters in uh that situation around the world. We're praying for courage, we're praying for protection, we're praying for the hidden believers. Prayer for the imprisoned Christians, underground church, the whispering church, the secret church. Give them power and authority. Let them feel the divine boldness of the Holy Spirit. Father, cover them with your love. I declare that the persecuted believers are protected, strengthened, and upheld by the power of the Holy Spirit
today. Father, I thank you for every listener, wherever they are listening to my voice, whatever their name is, whatever their tribe is, whatever their tongue is, wherever they are from, I pray that the love of Jesus Christ will be over them right now.
