Hebrews 13:3 — Faith Under Fire: Strength, Courage, Protection and Hope for the Persecuted Church From London to Lagos, from Lagos to Seoul, from Seoul to Buenos Aires, from Buenos Aires to Nairobi, from Nairobi to Vancouver — a global 9 A.M. prayer within the DailyPrayer.uk 24-Hour Cycle. Scripture NIV: Hebrews 13:3 “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them… and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.”  2 Corinthians 4:9 “Persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” Across December, persecution intensifies as underground believers face isolation, fear, and pressure while still carrying the hope of Christ in hostile environments. Prayer: Father, in Jesus’ name, we lift the Persecuted Church, the Underground Church, the Whispering Church, and the Secret Church across the world. Strengthen believers standing firm under danger, intimidation, and surveillance. Cover those worshipping in hidden rooms, remote villages, or locked-down regions. We pray protection over Your people in North Korea, Eritrea, Yemen, and Afghanistan today. Give courage to pastors, evangelists, families, and new believers taking risks simply to follow Jesus. Shield those facing imprisonment, beatings, threats, and the loss of homes or livelihoods. Surround isolated Christians with unseen angelic help. Restore hope where despair tries to settle. Let the fire of the Holy Spirit strengthen every persecuted believer, reminding them they are not forgotten by the global Body of Christ. Prayer Points: prayer for protection, prayer for courage, prayer for hidden believers, prayer for imprisoned Christians, prayer for persecuted families, prayer for gospel endurance, prayer for supernatural strength Life Application: Choose one persecuted nation today and speak a 30-second prayer of protection over believers there, aligning your heart with Hebrews 13:3. Declaration: I declare the persecuted church is upheld, strengthened, and protected by the power of God. Call to Action: Share this prayer and visit DailyPrayer.uk for global devotional resources.

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome to Daily Prayer. We're myself, Reverend Van Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, and strength. The love of God is with every one of us. Do you realize that we are born again? Do you realize that the battle belongs to the Lord? Sister and brother, God sees the struggle. God sees the pain. God feels that what's going on in your life. He is wiping your tears. But I want you to lock in with me today. It's come to that point in his prayer, daily devotional time where it is faith under fire. We got to pray for faith under fire. Father, in the name of Jesus, I thank you for the listeners that are locking in with me right now, all around the world. Lord, we want to pray, dear God, for our brothers and sisters in the persecuted church, the suffering church, dear God, the church, the secret church. Father, the church that is struggling, the church, dear God, that is really struggling in its life. Father, we pray for the church of Jesus Christ today. We pray, dear God, that the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit will sweep through our lives, that we will feel the love of God. We pray right now, Lord, we give ourselves to this moment. Our brothers and sisters, dear God, that are in prison for their faith. Our brothers and sisters, dear God, that are being tortured for Jesus Christ. Lord, wherever we are, we pray for strength, we pray for courage, we pray for protection, hope for the persecuted church. And as we pray, dear God, from these nations, as we pray, dear God, from these lands, from London, Lagos, Lagos to Seoul, Seoul to Broness Aires, Bronesseres to Mumbai, from Mumbai and the Philippines, dear God, we thank you for Beijing. We thank you for Hong Kong, Spirit of the Living God. Move over this globe today. Lord, bless Kiev, Lord Columbia, Lord, let your love be around the world today. We need our God and our King. Tel Aviv needs Jesus Christ. Lord, Kabul, come Holy Spirit. But right now we bring our brothers and sisters before you. And we believe that this word is over their lives. We believe Hebrews 13, verse 3. Continue to remember those that are in prison as if you were together with them. Father, I want to hold it here a minute. Lord, I want to pray for our brothers and sisters in the secret church, the prisoners of faith. Dear God, I pray for the prisoners of faith right now that you will bless them. Lord, that they will fill the fire of God, that they will know the love of Jesus Christ. Lord, at this December time, Lord, bless and heal the persecuted church, the underground believers that are facing isolation, fear, and pressure while still carrying the torch of Jesus Christ. I pray that their light will shine in prison. Dear God, we believe in miracles. We believe in the fire of God. And right now, Lord, we pray for your children that are in, dear God, Tokyo. We pray for Eritrea, Yemen, Afghanistan. We pray for these areas that are coming under lockdown and serious, dear God, intimidation, surveillance. We're praying that the word and the fire of God will cover them. Lord, we lift up in the name of Jesus the persecuted church, the underground church, the whispering church, that secret church across the world. Strengthen the believers that are under fire, in danger, intimidation, surveillance. Lord, as we are praying, Lord, we believe, dear God, that you are with those in prison. Shield them, protect them, and carry them. And let your love and your mercy, Lord, be displayed right away throughout the persecuted church. Wherever they are gathering, send your fire, send your anointing, send the glory. Father, we thank you that the power of the Holy Spirit is with our brothers and sisters. And today we pray for protection. We're praying for courage. The prayer for hidden believers, the prayer for imprisoned Christians, the prayer for the persecuted families, the prayer for the gospel to be enduring right now. We pray that Bibles will get in. We believe that Bibles are getting in, dear God, where man says no, Jesus says, My word is coming alive. So, Father, we pray for every border, we pray for every town that the Spirit of the Lord will move in such fire, such anointing, such glory. We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. Father, set the captives free today. Bless our sisters and brothers, Lord, wherever they are, gathering within the world of the persecuted church. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper.
