Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, love, and strength. If you've got a prayer request, you can email us at info at dailyprayer.uk.
The love of God is over you, the power of the Holy Spirit is in your life, and Jesus Christ is your strength. Never ever give up. You are redeemed. I am redeemed. We are saved. We are bloodwashed and sanctified. And we are gonna pray.
But let's pray for one another at this moment, just for these moments, before we go and pray for the persecuted church, the whispering church, faith under fire. Let's just pray and bring each and every one of us to the cross of Calvary. Father, right now we pray that we will get to the cross today. Whatever our life looks like, whatever is going on in our lives, the busyness of life, the quietness of life, the chaotic way of life, Lord, we come to the cross of Calvary and we say, Father, forgive us. Lord, forgive us, dear God, of our trespasses. Lord, forgive us of our failings. But Lord, as we lock shields today, as brothers and sisters around the world, we thank you for redemption.
And right now, Lord, I pray for every listener that is standing with me in prayer for our brothers and sisters in the persecuted church. Lord, as we pray through, Lord, as we pray through the pain barriers, as we pray for the brothers and sisters in the whispering in the secret church, we pray that you will bring them strength and power and glory. And wherever they are gathering right now, from London to China, from China to Singapore, from Singapore to Hong Kong, from Hong Kong to North Korea, we pray for such an outpouring of your spirit right the way through the Yemen, right the way through Iran, Spirit of the Living God, we come to you today and Jesus, will you lift up before each and every one of us the hidden believer, every whisper in prayer, every underground underground gathering, Lord, every faithful Bible-believing believer whose lives are at risk. Lord, bring safety and love and your presence.
Lord, we pray for those that are facing, dear God, surveillance, for those that are in Ukraine, dear God, with occupied zones facing intimidation. For those that are in Turkey, we pray that the church in Turkey will rise. Lord, and we ask for those that are in prison for their faith. We pray for those that are denied the word of God, those that have had their Bibles taken away from them. Lord, those that are under house arrest, those that are locked in rooms, those that are facing, dear God, worrying situations, those that are gathering basements and forests, Lord, we pray for the house church, the secret church. We pray for Christians under pressure right now. And we believe that Bible smuggling is getting done. We believe that Bibles are being smuggled through the borders, the barriers, dear God, right now. We thank you that Bibles are getting through and prisoners are being freed in the name of Jesus. Lord, we ask you right now that the underground church devotional time will walk in boldness, dear God, as they walk, dear God, in boldness. They're under pressure, but they're under the scripture of the living God. And we thank you that Joshua 1 6 is over their lives. Be strong and courageous. The Spirit of the Lord is over you wherever you are right now. Let the power of the anointing Jesus give me courage. Give us courage. Give me, give us, give all of us courage right now. Strengthen the pastors, strengthen
the believers, strengthen the church of Jesus Christ. Be with the mums, be with the dads, be with the brothers and the sisters, be with the children. Lord, as many are hiding right now. We thank you, Lord God. Let it rain. Lord God, we pray let revival, let the flame of revival be in the shadows of the stillness. Lord, we declare that the persecuted church will not be silent. The whispering church will worship. The secret church will endure. The suffering church will shine. Jesus, strengthen every believer today, wherever they are, around the world, across Europe, across Asia, right the way through the United Kingdom, right the way through America, right the way through Australia.
And Lord, bring peace to Israel. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Let the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit fall over Israel and around the world today. But bless the secret church in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Hold on to the next prayer.
