Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Van Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes. Faith, hope, and strength. God loves you. I've got to tell you right now, God is with you. Wherever you are right now, we're praying that the love of God and the Spirit of the Living God will carry you today. But we got to lock in wherever you are. Will you lock in with me?
I invite you across the table. I invite you on the other side of the mics with us. And come on, we're going to pray for our brothers and sisters, faith under fire. The persecuted church, the underground church, the secret and the whispering church. Sister and brother, will you lock with me today? Will you stand with me and pray for our brothers and sisters? Lord, we stand together. We stand together in faith right now. And we're praying for the listeners where their faith is under fire. We're praying, dear God, for the persecuted church. We're praying for our brothers and sisters within the persecuted church now. The underground church, dear God, faith that is under fire. The secret church and the whispering
church. Lord, as we gather in London to Lagos, from Lagos to Melbourne, from Melbourne to France, from France, dear God, to Chicago, from Chicago to Spain, Italy, Johannesburg. Come, Father, Brazil. Lord, we need revival. We need revival in Japan. Come, my God, all the way through Tokyo tonight, Spirit of the Living God. Lord, all these towns, all these villages, Lord, we need Jesus.
But Lord, our brothers and sisters within the world of the persecuted church, Father, we pray Hebrews 13, verse 3, over their lives. Continue to remember those in prison. Oh my God, in the name of Jesus, you tell us through the beautiful book of Hebrews 13, verse 3, continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them. Father, bless those that are in prison now. Father, for those that are in a lockdown, in house arrest. For those, dear God, that are running for their lives. We pray for the believers, the suffering believers, the imprisoned pastors, the Christians and communities living under serious violence and threat. Lord, we pray, dear God, as we lock in together, Lord, as the church prays.
We believe that the church in North Nigeria is saved. We believe the church in Eritrea is saved. We believe the church in Afghanistan is saved. We believe the church in India is saved. Come, Holy Spirit. We're praying that the love of God will move all the way through North Korea, Eritrea, Afghanistan, and India. Strengthen that underground church as it grows, as it blossoms, as it runs with the word of God. We believe that the secret church is worshiping powerfully right now. We know that the whispering church, dear God, is lifting their hands to glory, and the spirit of the living God is moving so powerfully in these lives. Father, we ask that you will shield those that are under surveillance, arrest, torture, opposition. Give strength to the pastors, the evangelists, the missionaries, the families, the imprisoned believers. Give supernatural peace and strength to families that have been separated by persecution. Let the light of Christ burn so powerfully in these dark places. Spirit of the living God, we're praying for our brothers and sisters on the other side of the world. Wherever they are right now, we're praying for serious breakthrough. We're praying for the love of God. We're praying for the anointing, Lord, to be on the church of Jesus Christ. Father, as they worship together, Lord, as they read the scripture together. We believe that the borders of these nations are being opened to the word of God. We believe that the fire of God, the anointing of God, the power of God, Spirit of the living God, we pray today wherever we are gathering.
And we believe that 2 Corinthians 4 verse 9, persecuted but not abandoned, struck down but not destroyed. Father, in the name of Jesus. Struck down but not destroyed. Father, persecuted but not abandoned. Come, Holy Spirit, bless the whispering church. Move by your glory, move by that power. Let the anointing, you are sovereign, you are king, you are glorious, you are the great I am. And right now, wherever we gather for prayer, Lord, let us lock in and pray for our brothers and sisters. Lord, around the world. I pray for you right now that the love of God will be with you. And whatever your name is, whatever your native tongue is, I pray that the love of Jesus Christ will carry you to your destination. Never give up. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper.
