Father, in the name of Jesus. Lord, it is still Boxing Day here on earth, Lord. Oh Jesus, we're tired, we're worn. Father, we pray right now for this Friday, the 26th of December. Lord, we bring our sisters and brothers before you at 9 a.m.
We pray, dear God, for faith under fire. Lord, as we've been celebrating the birth of Jesus, Lord, it is easy for us to forget our brothers and sisters in the persecuted church. And I'm sorry, Lord, that I've been caught up with all the festive, with all the noise, all the Rasmataz being and living in the West, especially here in London. Father, I'm sorry, dear God, that I haven't really focused on my brothers and sisters in the persecuted church. But right now, Lord, I come to the cross of Calvary and I say, Lord, I pray for a blessing. Lord, I pray for my brothers and sisters, dear God, in the persecuted church, the suffering church, the whispering church, the underground church, Father, the house church. Father, bless those that are on their run. Lord, over 370 million Christians displaced around the world. Father, we lift up that whispering, that secret, that persecuted church. Right now, Lord, here live in London, England, dear God, unboxing day at 9 a.m. Lord, I pray with my brothers and sisters wherever we are, Lord, across the world. We pray for such an outbreak of the Holy Spirit. Lord, we believe in miracles. Lord, wherever we are gathering right now, we pray for breakthrough. We pray for the love of God. We pray for the anointing. We pray for the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And wherever we are gathering under the sound of my voice, Lord, we need the power, the beauty, the love of Jesus
Christ. And as we gather from London to Lagos, from Lagos, dear God, all the way to Manila, from Manila to the Philippines, from the Philippines to Dubai, from Dubai, right the way around the world. Spirit of the Living God, bring your love, bring your mercy, bring your power. But Lord, as we pray, dear God, for these nations, we pray right now for North Korea, Somalia, Yemen, Eritrea. We're praying for pastors that are in hiding. We're praying for families that are running. We pray, dear God, for the borders of these nations, that the Spirit of the Living God will get in. We ask you, dear God, that the whispering church, the secret church, Father, that the name of Jesus, that you will be exalted high up and lifted up in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. We pray that Bibles will get in for the borders, for the villages, the safe houses. Lord, the whispering church that is gathering right now, the church that is for begin uh forbidden to gather in the name of Jesus. Let their light burn, let their light shine in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. And we pray, we pray right from the depth of our innermost being that the love of God and the fire of God, Lord, will burn. And Lord, we pray for those pastors and those leaders and those Christians that are in prison for their faith, those that are under fire right now. Let your glory, let your mercy, let your saving grace be with the persecuted church wherever they are right now.
But Lord, we celebrate the birth of Jesus and Lord, we declare that the persecuted church is with power and courage and unbelievable hope today. Lord, touch lives in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Come down today, Lord, wherever we are, right across this world, let the Spirit of the living God, the whispering church, dear God, the weeping church, the persecuted church in North Korea, Somalia, Yemen, and Eritrea. Please, Lord, let your kingdom come, your will be done. Father, touch their lives. Lord, we believe that 2 Corinthians 4, verse 8 and 9, when hard pressed on every side, but not crushed, bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. In the beautiful name of Jesus Christ. Come, Lord, refresh us. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, never give up. The Lord God is with you. Thank you for standing.
