Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers, where we gather, where the world gathers, where the brothers and sisters gather for faith, hope, love, and strength. I thank you, dear God, for everyone that is under the sound of my voice. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening, wherever you are, across this beautiful Mortisa of a world. God is with every one of you. The Spirit of the Lord is over us. It is early doors here in the UK. If you're on the school run, we'll pray for you. If you're on the commute run, we'll pray for you. Whatever you are doing, we are gonna pray.
But this hour is where we pray for the persecuted church, and we are gonna pray for ourselves first before we go any further. Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for each and every heart that is with me, listening to the sound of my voice. I pray that you will bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet, that the love of God will carry them, that the anointing, dear God, as they go to work, as they go to school, as they live life, as they move and as they mooch across the world, let the spirit, let the power of God be with everyone that is with me right now. Let the love of God just permeate in their hearts. Father, we thank you that we are anointed, that we are chosen, that we are forgiven in the greatest name in heaven and earth. Sisters and brothers, join me for prayer.
Holy Spirit, we pray for our brothers and sisters, over 375 million displaced Christians, the persecuted church. We bring our brothers and sisters, the whispering church, the suffering church, the church behind closed doors, hidden rooms, fields, prisons. Lord,
where they're in silent, Lord, we pray for the church in North Korea. We lift the church up before you right now, the church that is growing in North Korea. We thank you that the leaders of North Korea cannot stop the kingdom of God. We thank you, dear God, for the church in Afghanistan. It is moving in power, it is moving in authority. We thank you that the leaders in Afghanistan can't stop the kingdom of God.
Lord, we pray for the church in Nigeria. Hallelujah. We thank you that no authoritarian, no terrorist, no one can stop the church growing in Nigeria. Hallelujah. In the name of Jesus. Father, we bring the church in China. Lord, as the church explodes, as the church moves forward in power and authority in China. We thank you that the authoritarians cannot stop the kingdom of God.
And we pray, dear God, as Bibles breakthrough, we pray, dear God, for those that are being arrested, those, dear God, that are isolated, those that are under pressure to deny Christ. We pray, dear God, for families that are in danger. We pray for the constant uncertainty. Yet the Holy Spirit strengthens every brother, every sister. Lord, we are asking, dear God, that prison doors will be open. We pray for the prisoners of faith, that they will find and see the love of Jesus Christ. Let the Lion of Judah roar courage over everyone that is in prison in the persecuted church, the whispering church, the suffering church, Father, the church that is underground, the house church that is growing, the church that is moving in power, Spirit of the Living God, we believe that Bibles are getting across borders.
We believe that the word of God is traveling so powerfully, so freely. Lord, no gun, no weaponry, no armory, no border force. No one can stop the invisible kingdom of God. Lord, we thank you that the kingdom of God is just bypassing soldiers right now. We thank you that the kingdom of God is just breathing right by the guards right now. We thank you that the word of God is moving. Lord, the word, dear God, is spiritual. The word is invisible, but also it's in text form. So nothing can stop the word of God. Father, we pray that that word will break walls down, that that word will open doors up, protect the whispering church, the suffering church, everyone within the understanding
of the persecuted church. Bring freedom to our sisters and brothers in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Never give up. Don't go nowhere. We'll catch you on the next prayer.
