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. Wherever you are situated around the world, we're gonna lock in and we're gonna pray for the persecuted church in just a few moments. But before we do, we're gonna lock in and we're gonna pray for each other. I need prayer, you need prayer, the studio needs prayer, the world needs prayer. Where do we start, Jesus?
If you need your prayer request prayed for, please email us at info at dailyprayer.uk. You know the drill. Come on, let's get down and let's get on the field and let's pray. Let's scrum down and press.
I believe this book of Joshua is so live and so well at this moment. You know, Joshua 1, verse 6, we're in, you know, be strong and courageous. You know, Joshua chapter 1 is a book, is a book, is such a powerful book where we find strength and hope. God says, be strong and courageous, be strong and courageous, be very strong and courageous. God keeps re-emphasizing, he keeps reiterating, he keeps telling us, hold on to the book, hold on to the book. And I believe God is telling you and me, because we are woven together, brother and sister. I don't know you, you don't know me, we don't know where we are in the world, but we are woven together by the power and the spirit of the living God. We are grafted into the vine, and we've got to pray for one another. Come on, let's
pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we bring the church before you, the whispering church, the persecuted church. But before we do, Lord, I pray for the commuter now. I pray for the homemaker right now. I pray for the brother, the sister, the mum, the dad, the man, the woman, the child. I pray for whoever is under the sound of my voice. I pray that wherever they are in this world, that they will feel the fire of God, and the latter-day rain will carry them through the troubles and the fears and the doubts of life. Lord, whatever whatever storm they are facing, whatever situation they're in right now, bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Holy Spirit, we pray for breakthrough. But
right now, Lord, we bring the whispering church, the secret church, the church, dear God, that is under fire, faith under fire. We pray for the persecuted church across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia. We pray, dear God, that there will be safety, that there will be a safe haven in the Word of God. And Lord, we also ask you, dear God, the underground church that's in Turkey. We thank you that the underground church in Turkey is growing in power and authority. We pray right now for the Bible smugglers. We pray, dear God, that Bibles will get through the borders. We thank you, dear God, that the supernatural power of Jesus Christ is getting Bibles across the borders. We are praying for Christians that are sovereign with their faith. We pray for those that are imprisoned, dear God, for their belief. Lord, the prisoners of faith. We pray for the whispering church, the secret church, right the way through Ukraine. Lord, we pray for every area of the persecuted church that the love of God and the power of God will touch them right now. Father, those, dear God, that have left families behind, the families that have been left behind by those lives that have been martyred because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Bless the families that have been left behind. Bless the families, dear God, where they've
got loved ones and friends in prison right now. Lord, we pray for the Christians in prison around the world that they will see and feel the love of Jesus Christ. Jesus, we believe that Joshua 1 verse 6 now is over the persecuted church. Jesus, strengthen every secret believer who stands alone today under pressure. Lord, your word is needed more than ever. The persecuted church needs the glory. The whispering church needs the favor. The hidden believers need strengthening. Lord, everyone that is following Jesus that cannot worship freely today, let the glory, let the anointing, let the power of the redeeming King carry them wherever they are. Father, we thank you that the house church is growing. We thank you that the holy fire of God is moving in them dark places. Father, we pray right now that you will touch hearts, touch minds, touch bodies in the name of Jesus Christ. But
Lord, we thank you that the gospel will never be silented. We thank you that the persecuted church can never be crushed. Jesus will strengthen every believer. The Spirit will empower every witness right now. Father, carry everyone around the world. But Lord, we believe that the persecuted church is rising on wings as of
eagles. I will catch you on the next prayer. Never ever give up.
