Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Van 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 into the studio, which is info at dailyprayer.uk. Welcome and God bless you wherever you are at this time. You know, you might be on the school run, you might be on the lunch run, wherever you are, the sun might be rising, the sun might be dropping in
your life. It is that time when we're going to pray for the persecuted church in just a few moments, the suffering church, our brothers and sisters around the world, 375 million displaced Christians, you know, on the run because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. But before we do, I just want to say thank you to everybody that is listening on RB Christian Radio, everybody that is listening to the back library, wherever you are. Thank God for your life. We're going to pray for one another and then we're going to go straight into prayer for the persecuted
church. Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, carry our battles for us. Lord, as we are on the field of life, Father, we bring each other before you before we go any further in this prayer time. And Lord, we ask you that you will get us to the cross. And Father, forgive me of my sins, forgive me of my failings, forgive me, dear God, of the areas of my life that need sweeping through. But Lord God, we pray for each and every one of us that you will bring us to the cross of Calvary, that you will strengthen us and carry us, that the love of Jesus Christ will be over our lives and we will feel peace, love, and security within, dear God, the Holy Spirit.
So Father, you are the line of Judah. You are the great I am. And Father, from London to Cairo, from Cairo to Lagos to Seoul, Father, all the way through to Berlin, dear God, all the way, right the way through to Kuala Lumpur. Father, we pray for the Philippines and China. Let there be an outpouring of your spirit, dear God, over the persecuted church. We're asking you right now, Lord, as we pray for the believers that you'll strengthen them and carry them. Lord, as they worship in silence, as they worship in secret, as they gather in hidden places. Lord, we pray for those that are under extreme pressure, that are following Jesus because of the love of Christ. We thank you for the power of salvation. And Lord, we ask you for those that are running for their lives at this moment. Lord, that you will put them in a place of safety. Those, dear God, that are being persecuted.
We're praying for the church in North Korea. Lord, let revival begin in North Korea. We pray, Lord God, for Afghanistan, that Bibles will get into Afghanistan. Lord, we believe that Nigeria is on the crest of a wave of revival and peace. Lord, bless Nigeria. Lord, we're asking that the church in China will grow so fast, so powerfully, that the glory, that the anointing, and that the presence of God will move so clean and smooth right away through China. Lord, we believe that the Holy Spirit is in the church in China. We believe that the Holy Spirit is in the church in Nigeria. We believe that the Holy Spirit is in the church in Afghanistan and North Korea. Lord, we bring these areas of intense, dear God, skirmish. We bring these areas of spiritual warfare. We believe that Bibles are getting through. We believe that Bibles are getting through the borders, that Bibles are breaking in in the glorious name of Jesus. Cover, dear God, cover the Bible, Bibles with the love of Jesus. Cover those Bible smugglers with the precious glory of the Holy Spirit. Lord, hide them from the eyes, dear God, of the world. Father, get the Bibles into those areas.
Father, we're asking for those that are under surveillance, those, dear God, that are under deep persecution, that the love of God will protect them, those that are being threatened, those that are going through violent arrest, those that are under house arrest. We're praying, dear God, that the church of Jesus Christ and the kingdom of God will move. Lord, bless the Christians in danger. Lord,
where their faith is under pressure. We're praying for boldness. We're praying for strength. We're praying for an anointing. And we're praying for the love of God to move right the way through the underground church, the persecuted church, spirit of the living God. Touch them right now from the crown of their head to the sole of
their feet. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. I will catch you very soon. Don't ever give up. God is with you wherever you are around the world. The spirit of the Lord is over your life. I will catch you on the next prayer. Don't go nowhere.
