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. Sister and brother, oh, what a long day that's been. What a press that has been. Good evening. Good morning. Good afternoon. Wherever you are, I welcome you around the table of prayer.
Come on, let's get in. Father, in the name of Jesus, I just want to say thank you. I want to say thank you, dear God, to everybody that is listening to my voice. And Lord, I want to thank you to everybody that goes right back through, dear God, right down to lockdown. I thank you for everybody that has listened to all this stuff. I thank you to everybody that is new today. If you're new here today, we welcome you in. May the Lord bless you today. Thank you for downloading. Thank you for listening. Thank you for praying with us. It's not about listening, it's about, you know, praying together. Yes, we listen, but it's about praying together, it's about being together in prayer. And this is what this is all about.
It's not about just purposely listening to my voice, but it's about Jesus. Jesus is calling you. I really believe Jesus is calling you right now. And I pray that the love of God will carry you in the name of Jesus. I ask God that He will strengthen you and bless you and anoint you. But we're all carrying stuff we shouldn't be carrying. We are so tired of life. The bears of life are growling, the foxes are our ankles, the dogs are barking. You know the noise of
life, the political arena around the world is embarrassing. We got leaders trying to take over the world. We gotta be careful. I'm telling you, sisters and brothers, we gotta be careful, we gotta get into prayer because we are watching many forerunners, many forerunners of the Antichrist, and we gotta hold it in the word of God. God is telling you, come back, come back to your first love, Ben.
Come back, brother and sister. God is calling the prodigals, and I'm in prayer right now. It might not sound like it. I'm not giving a lecture, I'm not giving a sermon, I'm praying. Father, we're coming back to the house. Lord, we want to do and we want to be. Just as that area of life was accepted, the prodigal son. He got up, he got out of the field of life, he actually got out of the pig's diet and he said, I'm going back to the father's
house. So tonight, Lord, before we sleep, Father, if we've been hanging around with pigs all day, father, if there are foxes at our ankles, father, if we got the bear growling at us right now, dear God, if we got that lion, Lord, and we think, dear God, of King David, shepherd boy David. Lord, he just came out of the field and he got anointed. He got anointed by Samuel, he was anointed to be king, he was carrying anointing, sister and brother. You are carrying anointing. We might not even understand what it means. We might even look at our lives and think, who am I? I've lost my identity, but you haven't. Because God has got you on the potter's wheel, and God is shaping you, and the master is shaping you like clay. He's shaping you into that beautiful vessel. He wants you to be unique. He wants you to be you. Father, in the name of Jesus, help us be me.
Lord, help me not to comply to the family, help me not to comply to the color of my skin, help me not to comply to the cultural drive. Help me not to comply to social media, to the trends that are going around the world. Lord, I want to walk in the word. I don't want to comply, I want to live faithful in the word of
God. And Lord, wherever we are right now, from London, dear God, to Auckland, from Auckland to Australia, to Durbin to Christchurch, to Hamilton, Lord, pour out your spirit over our lives. Because Lord, I believe that Joshua 1 9 is for every one of us now. Have I not commanded you? We've got this scripture again, sister. We've got it again, brother, wherever you are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the field of life. If you're wrestling bears, lions, if you got foxes and dogs at your ankles, Father, we pray that you remove the dogs and the foxes of life. Father, Lord, we want you to remove the shackles from our ankles. Lord, we need you to do, dear God, one thing, and it's to get us free. Free up our mind in the name of Jesus. Lord, you tell us through Joshua 1 9, have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Lord, you're telling us not to be afraid. But Lord, we are afraid. We don't want to be afraid. Lord, we want to walk in the power of the word of God. We want to walk in the goodness of God. And we believe right now that we're walking in strength. We're walking in power. We're walking in anointing. And Lord, we believe that Joshua's book, Lord, is for us. We're not going to be afraid. We're not going to be discouraged. For the Lord thy God is with you. I tell you, you have
not lost your identity. God is shaping you on the potter's will. Even though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you're going to fear no evil. God's with you. He's never going to leave you. You're not an orphan. You don't belong to the way of the world. Pack up social media and follow Jesus. Follow Jesus Christ. Lord, as we pedal out of this prayer. Lord, as we pedal out right now, bless the listeners wherever they are around the world, from the battlefield to the boardroom. Father, let them sleep well. God bless every one of you. In Jesus' name. Amen.
