Thank you for joining us today in our daily prayer with myself Reverend Van Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers just for a few moments of faith, hope, and strength and worship.
Spirit of the living God, I pray for every listener right now, wherever they are, that the love of Jesus will just capture each and every one of them, that their hearts will be captured by the love of God. And Lord, if they're laying in bed, if they're standing up, if they're working, if they're walking, they're walking the dog, they're driving the car, whatever they are doing, I pray that the love of God will wrap around everyone, that they will feel, dear God, the love of Jesus in their
lives. But right now, Lord, I pray for our brothers and sisters, 370 million displaced, persecuted Christians around the world. Father, we pray for the persecuted church. Brother and sister, will you lock in with me for these four minutes? Will you lock in as we pray for our brothers and sisters that are in the persecuted church? Come on, let's lift our sisters and brothers
up around the world. Father, we thank you for the beautiful book of Hebrews 13, verse 3. And Lord, we believe right now that the word of God is with our brothers and sisters that are in prison for their faith. Lord, faith under fire. We pray, dear God, for 370 million and counting. Uncountable actually Christians around the world that are being persecuted for
their faith. But right now we bring these nations before you, Father, that keep hitting the drumbeat. North Korea, Somalia, Eritrea, Afghanistan. We pray for those that have been betrayed, those, dear God, that have disappeared, those, dear God, that are tortured, those that have been arrested. Lord, shield them, Father, in the name of Jesus. Surround your love around every believer, every pastor, every mother, every young disciple, every child, every older person. Lord, surround your love and Father, I pray that you will protect them. Lord, this mission impossible.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray that Bibles will get in. Let the gospel advance, dear God, in the darkest places. Let the gospel advance into prisons, into homes, into the whispering church, the underground church. Father, let the word of God embed itself in. Father, we thank you, Lord, that you are restoring all the years that locate has taken. And right now, we're praying for the secret worshippers. We're praying, dear God, right now for the hidden believers. We're praying for those that are imprisoned for their faith. We're praying for the persecuted families. We're praying for the gospel, dear God, to advance with power and authority.
Lord, we're praying for supernatural endurance for the Bible-believing believers that are scattered, that are displaced, dear God, that have in their lives surveillance, dear God, for those that are hungry, those that are thirsty. Lord, will you bless? Will you heal that persecuted church as they gather in silence, as they gather in fear? We believe that the love of God is over them. And right now, Hebrews 13, verse 3 is over your lives. Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them. Father, we pray as if we were in prison with them right now. As the Bible says by that beautiful writer of the New Testament, even though I can't be with you in bodily form, I am with you in
spirit. So Lord, we pray for those that are in prison. We pray for those that are persecuted. We pray for those that are running for their lives, spirit of the living God. We pray for the persecuted Christian, the secret worshipper right now, the underground church. Let it survive, let it grow. Lord, anoint it, get Bibles in in the name of Jesus. We believe the borders are falling down. We believe that the borders in North Korea, we believe the borders in Somalia, we believe the borders in Eritrea, the borders in Afghanistan, that we believe the borders are falling down. Lord, and Father, the Spirit of the Lord is being poured out right now over these four nations. Lord, the glory is with them. Father, we thank you that Bibles are getting in. Bibles are getting in. Father, in the name of Jesus, into the hidden room, into the secret place, into the hearts of brothers
and sisters. Father, heal the land. Father, bless the leaders of that nation. Draw every one of them, draw the leaders to the cross of Calvary. Let the Spirit of the Lord be over each and every one of them today. But Lord, we believe in miracles. So, Father, bless the whispering church, the underground church, the secret church, that Bible believing church. But right now, thank you for the listeners wherever they are around the world. May the Spirit of the Lord be with you. Thank you for joining. Thank you for standing with
me today. For more daily devotions, follow us on the social platform at dailyprayer.uk. God bless.
