Good evening and welcome to this Sunday Night Prayer, coming to you live from London, England on RB Christian Radio on Global Blend Radio site   Wherever you are across the world, this is a moment to pause, breathe, and come back to the peace that only Jesus Christ can give.

In a world filled with war, uncertainty, rising costs, and constant noise, we turn to Scripture and prayer to steady our hearts. Jesus reminds us in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Tonight, we hold onto that promise.

This prayer time moves from global unrest to personal reality. We lift up nations, families, travellers, and those caught in crisis, asking God for protection, peace, and divine covering. We speak Psalm 91 over our lives, trusting that God is our refuge and fortress, and we declare Romans 15:13, believing that the God of hope will fill us with joy, peace, and strength through the power of the Holy Spirit.

We also reflect on the deeper meaning of Passover, connecting Exodus 12 to the cross of Calvary, recognising Jesus Christ as the true Passover Lamb. As we take communion together, we remember that the power is not in the symbol, but in what it represents: redemption, grace, and the gift of salvation.

This is more than a prayer. It is a reset. A call to step away from fear, step out of anxiety, and step back into the truth of God’s Word. If you have been feeling overwhelmed, tired, or uncertain about the future, this prayer is for you.

Prayer For Peace Amid War

SPEAKER_01

Good evening, good evening, God bless you. Wherever you are across the world, the love of God is over your life. Thank you for joining us tonight on X and Live on RB Christian Radio. Sorry we're a little bit late this evening. You know, there is so much happening across the world as we are all so very familiar with. Wherever you are, without further ado, we're gonna jump straight into prayer. We're gonna break bread in about 30 minutes' time, but we're just gonna get straight into prayer. The Lord Jesus Christ is with you wherever you are. Come on, let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for everybody live, dear God, on radio with us right now. Everybody on X, Lord God. I thank you, dear God, that you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And Father, we come to you right now. Lord, as we watch the world, Father, Lord, as we hear aircraft, as we see, dear God, missiles flying, dear God, as we hear, dear God, that there is commodities stuck in the shipping lanes across the world. Holy Spirit, we pray that you will descend across this world at this hour, that you will bring rest and you will bring peace. Dear God, as we look at the news channels, Father, we pray that you will remove fear, doubt, and worry, and you will strengthen each and every one of us. So as we come before you, brothers and sisters around the world, dear God, I thank you that the love of God is so real. But Lord, we pray for calm, we pray for peace, we pray for rest. And with dear God, we just lean into the cross of Calvary tonight, Lord. And dear God, I just thank you for every listener wherever they are. And Lord, as we walk, dear God, and pray through John 14, 27, the Bible says, Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Father, I pray that we will not be afraid. Lord, that we will lean into the cross of Calvary. But right now, Lord, in the times of war, Father, we're tired of that word war. Lord, we're we're exhausting ourselves, Father, wondering and thinking about what may be. But Lord, we believe in miracles. So Lord, I pray for every listener right now on this Sunday evening on the 8th of March at 9.26 live here in London, England. I just pray for the love of Jesus Christ over your life. That you will not allow fear to govern your life, that we will not allow the panic and the sound of the war cry to depict who we are. Father, I thank you that we are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. And Lord, we believe in miracles. We believe in the beautiful word of God. Just in this stillness, Lord, before we go any further, Lord, I just pray that you will touch lives right now, that there will be healing. Lord, that your love and your mercy and your saving grace will touch everybody's heart now. For those that are really scared and those that are really worried about what the outcome is going to be. Lord, as we are days into this war and Father, as what we are seeing on the news channels at this moment in time, Father, we pray for peace. We pray, dear God, for those innocent lives that have been caught up, dear God, in this area, dear God, of uncertainty. Holy Spirit, we pray for families right now. We pray for those, dear God, that are caught, dear God, in the trenches of life. Those, dear God, that are waiting at airports, those, dear God, that are waiting to board aircraft to get them home safely. Father, we thank you that you have deployed angels. Lord, we thank you for Psalm 91 that you have deployed angels, dear God, because of your concerns. Because according to the Word of God, I thank you that angels are deployed and they're carrying every aircraft, every passenger jet across the world. Father, we pray for safety at airports right now in the name of Jesus. We pray that peace and love and mercy will surround the innocence, dear God, of people, Lord, that are caught up in this global war. But dear God, in the name of Jesus, we need you. Holy Spirit, we need you. And we pray right now for Israel. We pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray that the love of God and the Spirit of the Lord will just carry each and every one of us. That your love and your mercy will just tenderly come down, Lord, and your love will just sit on our shoulders. Father, we pray that the Spirit of the living God will touch lives that are flying in the air right now. Lord, those air restriction zones, we pray that the Holy Spirit will carry every aircraft, that the love of God will be with every passenger. Holy Spirit, we need your love tonight. We need your calmness. We

SPEAKER_01

need your presence in every area of our life. So, Lord, we pray for peace amidst global unrest. We pray for calm, dear God, in this economical situation that we're in. Fathers, we are listening to the price of oil going up. We're listening to the price of gas and electric going up. Lord, I pray, Lord, that we won't engage in number 10 down in street, Lord, the liars from the gates of hell, but Lord, that we will listen to the word of God. So, Lord, we pray for these leaders that we have in the UK. Lord, that you will give them a backbone, that they will stand up for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Lord, we are listening to lie after lie. Lord, we need truth. Lord, we're tired of the political language. Lord, we need, dear God, help. We need you, God. Lord, we can't trust in the political agenda. We can't trust in the leaders of our nations because, Lord, they are not leading us correctly. So, Father, we pray that you will give us leaders that are godly, that are spirit-filled, that are blessed and highly favored. Lord, we pray that you will give us leaders in number 10 down in street that will stand up and be strong in the name of Jesus. We pray that you'll give us leaders in number 10 down in street, Lord, that will lean into the Bible. We pray that you'll give us leaders in number 10 down in street, Lord, that will stand on the gospel of hope, that will lead by integrity, strength, and spiritual sharpness. Holy God, that you are, King of Kings and Lord of Lords. Father, we pray, Lord God, for number 10 Westminster. We pray, Lord, that you will save, dear God, and you will draw every politician into the kingdom of God. Holy Spirit, we pray for this leader that we have over this nation. We pray, dear God, that you'll give him a heart. We pray, dear God, that you will awaken his spirit because, Lord, is there anybody? Holy Spirit, I pray right now. Lord, that you will touch his heart, his mind, his family, his life. But Lord, give us a leader. Lord, that will stand with the biblical Israel. Give us a leader that understands, dear God, the biblical Israel situation at this moment. Lord, we don't want to be led by a political jargon. We don't want to be led, dear God, by a war-hungry people. Lord, we want to be led by spirit-filled, blessed and highly favored, born-again Christians that know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Holy Spirit, we pray, dear God, as many areas of this nation and the world, dear God, are celebrating Ramadan. We pray, dear God, that that will go at the name of Jesus. And we pray as we get ready for Passover. We pray, dear God, as we get ready for Passover, all these worldly religious festivals, we pray that they will go at the name of Jesus. And we pray that the Passover, we pray, dear God, that the cross is exalted, highly lifted up, high above any festival that any other religion, dear God, is trying to push out. Lord, we believe that the UK belongs to Jesus Christ, that this nation belongs to the God. And Lord, I want to tell you what God this belongs to. It belongs to the God of Israel. I thank you, dear God, that every barrel of oil belongs to the God of Israel. Every area of this globe belongs to the God of Israel. Every raindrop, every snow drop, every wind that blows, every area of this world belongs to God. And Lord, I thank you that governments don't own anything. I thank you, dear God, that no one owns anything, that you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. But Father, you tell us in the Gospel of John 14, 27, peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. So, Father, we do not want what the world gives us. Lord, we don't want the fears and the worries and the doubts. Lord, we don't want the turmoil of what the world is offering. Lord, we're not gonna lock onto social media. We're not gonna listen, dear God, to the jargon and the political drive. Lord, we're not gonna listen, dear God, to the sound, dear God, of aircraft. We're not gonna listen to the sound of rockets. We're not gonna listen to the sound of war-hungry leaders. We're gonna listen to the sound of the Lion of Judah. And Lord, we walk in the gospel of hope. And we believe in miracles. We believe in miracles. Again, Lord, bless this government here in the UK. Give us a government, Lord God, that is spirit-filled, blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. Lord, we don't want a sweet shop of religious leaders. We want, dear God, men and women that believe in Jesus Christ. We want leaders in the UK that will stand up for the children, for the families. We want leaders, dear God, that know that Jesus Christ is the redeeming king and Jesus Christ is the King of the Jews. Jesus Christ is the King of the Jews, not the King of the Palestinians,

UK Leaders And Spiritual Direction

SPEAKER_01

the King of the Jews. And right now in prayer, we pray, dear God, for every human being, dear God, on the on the shoreline of this nation. Everyone, all the way around. We pray for everyone in this nation. We pray, dear God, and we thank you that the UK belongs to Jesus Christ. It is not controlled by any other devils, it is controlled by the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. That the God of Israel is alive and well. And we thank you, dear God, that you are turning the church in the UK to the cross of Calvary. Lord, I pray that you will give us spiritual leaders in all churches, even myself. I pray, dear God, that we will come to the cross of Calvary. Lord, and we will lift up their God and we will worship the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Father, we're not interested in the Union Jack Flag. We're not interested in any other flag. We want to lift up the cross in the name of Jesus. Because this nation is a Bible-believing believers nation. Lord, we're calling the things a not as though they are, because that's the God that we serve, the God of Israel, the father of Isaac, Jacob, and Abraham. And Lord, as the world is looking at Israel right now, Lord, we don't follow the political gender and the war gender. We follow the biblical Israel. Lord, we lift up the name of Jesus. We lift up Yahweh, Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. We thank you that our God is the redeeming King, that Jesus Christ is coming back. And Lord, as we prepare, dear God, right now for Passover, we believe, dear God, that you are risen. We believe that the destinational points of Christ have been fulfilled. We believe in the prophecies. We believe in the promises of God. And Lord, we pray right now, Lord, as we get ready for Passover, Lord, we pray that the Spirit of the Lord will lift this nation out of the ashes. We pray, dear God, that through Passover, Lord, that you will save the leaders at number 10 Downing Street. We pray, dear God, through Passover that the love of God will be so strong and so powerful. We pray, dear God, that you will give us a leader at the top of our offstead, not someone that serves a foreign God, but the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. We pray for every school, we pray for every college, we pray for every church, every area of business. We pray that the Spirit of the Lord will take this nation, the UK, whatever name we got over the tin at this moment in time, Lord, we believe in miracles. We pray that you'll give us a government, Lord, that won't stand with foreign gods. We pray that you'll give us a government that stands with the God of Israel, the father of Isaac, Jacob, and Abraham, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. But right now across this earth, we believe that the Spirit of the Lord is moving. We believe, dear God, the prophecies of Daniel are being fulfilled. We believe in the power of God. We believe that you are a healing king, you are a coming king, you are the great I am. And right now, God, I pray for the church in the UK. That the church in the UK, dear God, will rise and get to the cross. Lord, we're not interested in the the uh fake name it and claim it gospel preachers. We're not interested, dear God, in in the tribal churches. We're not interested, dear God, in the cultural drive. We're not interested, dear God, in the social media jargon of church. Lord, we want Jesus Christ. We want the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords to rise out of the ashes and to take the church in the UK, dear God, and to lift the church up, dear God. Holy Spirit, we pray for every leader, every pastor, every bishop, every congregation. Lord, I pray that you will remove the snowflake way that we preach the gospel. I pray, dear God, that we will fill the fire of God when the word comes over every pulpit in the name of Jesus. I pray, dear God, that you will remove the weakness and the wokeness of the church and the church will stand up. Lord, I pray for every congregation that has to listen to weak preaching, every dear God, every child, every mom, every dad, every adult that has to sit, dear God, under pink preaching. Holy Spirit, we pray right now that the fire of God and the love of God will descend. Holy Spirit, I pray that you will shake every church, Lord, every foundation of every church. I pray, Lord, that the tiles will rattle. I pray, dear God, that the walls, dear God, will groan with the power of God, that you will move so powerfully across the UK, that the Spirit of the Lord will bring every church, every leader to its knees right now in the name of Jesus. Lord, that you will bring us back to the fundamental points of Christianity: the birth, the death, the resurrection, and the coming King. Jesus Christ is alive. He is the creator of heaven and earth. And right now we pray for peace. We pray for the love of God. And Lord, also we ask you that you will be our refuge and our strength in Psalm 46 verse 1. Holy God, that you are. You are an ever-present help in trouble. And Lord, this nation is in trouble. Lord, we got leaders, dear God, that can't tie their shoelaces. We got leaders, dear God, that are no fit for purpose. Lord, we need leaders in the church, at the church. We need leaders, dear God, in every area of life that will stand up for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Oh Father, I pray, dear God, for every believer tonight. That they will put on the full armor of God, the helmet of salvation, the breastplate of righteousness. Dear God, I thank you that we got the sword of the Spirit. Holy God, I pray, dear God, that we will walk, dear God, in the gospel of peace. That our feet are fitted with the gospel of peace. Spirit of the living God, I pray that you won't walk by the UK. Lord, that you will restore and heal this nation. Lord, we're not interested in the Union Jack. We're not interested in marching on the streets. Lord, we want to lift up the name of Jesus. Lord, in our cars and in our vans, Lord, we ain't gonna get into London and make a protest. We just gotta tell the world there is power in the greatest name in heaven and earth. Father, we haven't got to defend you. We haven't got to tell the world, or Lord, all we gotta do is just say Jesus Christ is real. He's the coming King. He is the great I am. Father, we thank you that you

Born Again Salvation Not Religion

SPEAKER_01

came into the world. Father, we thank you that you sent Jesus Christ. And Lord, I pray, Lord, that we would just ponder on John 3.16. For God so loved the world. Father, I thank you that your love is unconditional. There are no strings attached. There is power in the name of Jesus. Sister and brother, we are live here in London, England, and it is 9.39 here on the 8th of March. And there is war all around the world. But the war has already been won in the heavenly realms across the Calvary. The beginning of time. God loves you. God loves you. Everything will be okay. But there's something that we got to do. We gotta get a Bible. And we gotta read like we've never read before. We might even have to leave the church that we go to. We might even have to leave the churches because we gotta get in the word. I can't get in church. I can't get in religion. I can't get into that ministry. I've got to get into the scripture. If there's anything you remember me for, is get in the word of God. Get reading the scripture, Psalm 91, Psalm 23. Get in the Gospel of John. Get to know who Jesus Christ is. Father, I pray through this prayer time, Lord, that there is healing. Lord, we believe that you are healing our bodies right now, that sickness bows to the name of Jesus Christ. I pray that we will know the name of Jesus. Lord, I'm not interested in the name of pastors and leaders and denominations. Lord, I want to know who Jesus is. Lord, I thank you that you are the healer and salvation belongs to God and God alone. Lord, when we look at world religions, Jesus, no one can receive salvation without God bringing the gift. And I want to tell you wherever you are right now, you're not here by chance. You're here because of divine appointment. The Spirit of the Lord is over your life. The Spirit of the Lord is over your life. You are here not because you know me or you recognize Elium. You are here because God has a plan for your life. You are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. And the Spirit of the Lord is in your house right now. Wherever you are commuting, whether the sun is rising or the sun is setting on your life, whatever the time zone is in your world, I believe in the power of salvation. I believe God has given you salvation. I believe that you are a John 3.16. I believe that you are a John 3.3. God's love is over your life in John 3.16, and you are born again. As Jesus said to Nicodemus, my old friend Nick, you can have as much knowledge as you like, son. But if you're not born again, you might as well jog on. You gotta be born again. And we can only be born again from God. So it's not by works that so no one can boast. It's not by how many times we hoover the church, it's not by how many times I pray or how many podcasts and sermons we deliver. It's not by how many years I've been in this church. It is a gift. I love the fact that salvation has been given. Salvation has been given. We can't earn it, we can't work it. I don't deserve it. But that's what we call unconditional favor. And that is the love of God. There

Bible Over Politics And Net Zero

SPEAKER_01

is war breaking out, there is famine breaking out, the weather system is doing what it's doing. Please don't listen to that, to the rubbish coming out of number 10 uh Downing Street, net zero. How in God's name are we ever gonna get net zero? What a lie that is. Just run your diesel, run your petrol car and enjoy your life in the name of Jesus. The Spirit of the Lord is over you. The power of God is in your life. There's no such thing as save the planet. Don't get caught with the tree huggers. Don't get caught in that in that narcissistic area of that lying. Don't get caught up in that lie out of the gates of hell. There's no such thing as save the planet. Don't matter how many trees you plant, let me tell you what the book says. At the end of time, the earth will burn up. You can put your rubbish out in your green bin, your red bin, your pink bin, you can do what you like. But let me tell you, we will never save the planet. It doesn't matter how many times you put the odor under your arm, you can go natural, you can do whatever you need to do. But let me tell you, if you want to know what the greatest green energy deal was ever written, read Genesis chapter 1. Genesis chapter 1. If I follow Genesis chapter 1, I will eat right, I will work right, I will live right, I will treat the earth right. The greatest green energy deal that has ever been written on paper is in Genesis chapter 1. So what the government tell you? Don't listen. Don't listen to the lies anymore. We gotta listen to the truth, and the truth is in the word of God. From Genesis to Revelation, Jesus Christ, the word of God is true. The word of God is real. Jesus Christ is real. What we are watching in the Middle East and around the world has actually been foretold, sorry. It has been foretold in the word of God. It already tells us what is gonna happen. We already know the nations and what they're gonna do. The Bible says kingdom will rise against kingdom, nation will rise against nation. We know who they are, we know exactly what they're doing. We don't need sky knows, we don't need BBC knows, we don't need the world knows to tell us what's happening. If I read the book of Daniel and the book of Revelation, I will know what will happen at the end of time. Spirit of the living God, I pray for healing, I pray that panic will go, I pray that social anxiety will go, I pray that fear will go. I pray, dear God, for all the worries of the world will go. And Lord, we need peace. Holy Spirit, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. We pray, dear God, for rest and we pray for your love and your mercy and your saving grace. We pray, dear God, for everyone that is listening to the sound of my voice right now on X and RB Christian Radio. We ask you, dear God, that you'll just carry us. Lord, as we get ready for work tomorrow. Lord, we can't even be bothered to get ready for work. Lord, we're thinking, what's the point? Lord, what's the point, Father Garner? The gas is

Provision For Work And Finances

SPEAKER_01

going high, the electric is going high. Father, Lord, we're watching the fuel, the petrol, the diesel increase as we are here. Holy Spirit, please make a way where there is no way. Father, we thank you that our God shall supply all our needs according to thy riches and glory. And Lord, that you will put food on the table. I pray for all those human beings that are worried about putting food on the table, worried about the interest rate rising, worrying about the price of oil and gas. Holy Spirit, I pray that we won't worry, but Lord, that we will. Rejoice and say, Dear God, you've got to look after us. Father, I pray, dear God, that you will bless those lives that are worried right now, that are scared right now, that are uncertain right now. We pray, dear God, that favor will drop on our hearts and our minds. Holy Spirit, give us strength. You are our refuge. You are our God. You are our rock. And Lord, we lean into the book of Romans 15, verse 13. May the God of all hope fill you with all joy, peace, as we trust in Him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. Romans 15, verse 13. May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit. I thank God. In the book of Acts, chapter 2, when the Spirit of the Lord descended, but the birth of the church, the real church, not the birth of the Pentecostal, not the birth of Catholicism, not the birth of any other religious area, the Church of England, but the birth of the persecuted church, the birth of the Church of Jesus Christ. I thank you, dear God. It was the Holy Spirit that empowered them. It was the Holy Spirit that led them. See, there's no need for us to follow these global ministries. We just got to follow Jesus. Because the Bible says the men and the women are in that place of prayer. Because it is prayer. It is prayer that breaks the work of the enemy. Prayer doesn't change God, prayer changes me. Prayer changes the environment. Prayer

Prayer Changes Us And The World

SPEAKER_01

changes my thinking and my understanding. Because God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. And the Bible says he won't share his glory with no one, no pastor, no leader, no denomination, no pope, no archbishop. God is a jealous God. Father, I pray that your love and your mercy will descend right now, as it did in the book of Acts, the birth of the church of Jesus Christ. Father, I pray that I, us, we, all of us, will get to the cross. And Lord, as we get to the cross, we get to Scripture. And when we get to Scripture, we get to Jesus. When we get to Jesus, we get to the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Because, Lord, that's all I need. I need the Bible, I need the Word of God. Father, I thank you that I don't need church. Because church wasn't even in existence in the book of Acts, chapter 2. The church of Jesus Christ was just being birthed. The Spirit of the Lord fell. The Holy Spirit fell and separated like tongues of fire. And the Bible says that there was a tongue of fire for every human being. The Holy Spirit separated and sat and rested on everyone. And they were filled with the holy fire of God. You don't need to go to church to get baptized in the Holy Spirit. You don't need to go to church to get baptized in the glory of God. Just call on the greatest name in heaven and earth. Just call on the name of Jesus. You can sit in your van and say, Jesus, fill my van with your Holy Spirit. You can be on an aircraft right now and say, Lord, fill me right now with the Holy Spirit. You can be cutting the grass, doing whatever you are doing, and just say, Jesus, fill me with the Holy Spirit. You haven't got to get into a religious box, jump up and down and say, Hello, Pastor, how are you today? It's really interesting when you study the Church of Jesus Christ. Father, I pray for the church across the world. That it will rise and we will look at the persecuted church. And Father, we will look in at that persecuted church. 370 million displaced Christians around the world. When you look at Christianity, Christianity, I'll use the word religion for the quickness of speech. When you look at Christianity globally, it is persecuted at the highest level, far above any other world religion. Why is that? Because the devil has made every other religion. So the devil's not worried. That's why you don't get no persecution in hardly any other world religion but Christianity. Because it is a spiritual battle. Christians

Persecuted Church And Real Authority

SPEAKER_01

are running for their lives right now. The greatest book in the world is being printed faster than you can count. It is the greatest book in the world. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He's the King of the Jews. The King of the Jews. And his name is Jesus. And Jesus is in your house right now. And Jesus is in your trouble right now. And Jesus is walking through the fire with you right now. Holy Spirit, I pray that you'll give us understanding. Lord, we understand what the word says. Wars, rumors of wars, famines, earthquakes, desolation. Father, we have watched false prophet after false prophet after false prophet. Come to church on a Sunday, get his wages, jump in his Mercedes, and disappear into the sunset into his million-pound mansion. Lord, we're tired of the jokers behind pulpits. Lord, we want the gospel of hope. Father, we want the power of God. We're tired of religion. We're tired, dear God, of leaders in these nations that don't understand. Lord, we need leaders that will lead us by the Spirit of God. Lord, we need leaders in business that will lead us by the gospel of hope. We need leaders at school that will lead the children into paths of righteousness. Lord, we need leaders in the church that will stand up for the gospel of Jesus Christ. Lord, we need preachers and teachers that will tell the world about the power of God. Lord, we don't want another pastor's manual. Lord, we don't want another treasure hunt. We don't want another healing on the street. Lord, we want the gospel of God. We want the power of Jesus Christ. We don't want another made-up ministry. We want Jesus. We want the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Jehovah Jaireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. There's only one place that sickness bowels, and that is at the name of Jesus. There is only one place that fear runs, that is the name of Jesus. It's very interesting when you look at Lucifer and you look at the devils in the New Testament, they knew Jesus was, and they feared him. But the devils and the legions just laughed in the face of religious people. They said, We don't know who you are, but we know who Jesus is. See, when you know who Jesus is, you carry authority. When you know who Jesus is, sickness bows to the name of Jesus. I pray as you go through the valley of the shadow of death, I pray that you will be healed in the name of Jesus. I pray that the Spirit of the Lord will carry you. I pray that Psalm 91, the word of God from Genesis to Revelation, will carry you right now at this hour, as we are seven minutes to ten live here in London, England, on Sunday evening, the 8th of March. Holy Spirit, get us ready for work. Lord, I pray that you'll help us to focus. I pray, dear God, that you will just draw us to the cross of Calvary, and we will know our Redeemer, and because he lives, we can face tomorrow. Holy Spirit, I pray that you will give us courage like Joshua. I pray, dear God, that we will fill the latter-day rain. I pray, Lord, that you will give us shelter and rest. Father, we thank you for Psalm 91. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Who is this God? Who are you, God? He's the God of Israel. He's the God of Genesis chapter 1. He's the God that said, Let there be light, and there was. He's the God that created the heavens and the earth. He's the God that is in full charge of every situation. He's the God that sent his Son, Jesus Christ, the King of the Jews. And Jesus in the Gospel of Luke said, I saw Satan fall like lightning. See, the demonic forces are under our feet. They might be sitting in number 10 at this moment having caviar and playing cards because that's all they might as well do. Or dominoes, but I don't even think they can play that right. Father, in the name of Jesus, we need leaders, God. We need leaders that will lead us in power and truth. Father, we pray that this nation will rise out of the ashes. The Bible says, whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust.

Passover Communion And The Lamb

SPEAKER_01

We're going to come to the table. We're going to come to the Passover table. And in the Jewish calendar, in the Torah in the Old Testament, the Bible tells us, God gave us an ordinance. He gave us clear instruction to break bread, to take out a cup, and to see the fulfillment of the Lamb. The Lamb that was slain. See, when you look at Exodus chapter 12, it tells us about the Lamb. God gave clear instruction to Moses. Get a lamb. A lamb that is unblemished. A lamb that is pure. A lamb without defect. That is a forerunner of Jesus Christ. We're in prayer right now. And I want to encourage you quickly jump off the sofa, quickly go and get a bit of bread. It might be a burger bun, whatever it is. A bit of kebab pit of bread, whatever you got from last night's little antics. You need a bit of grape juice. Grab a bit of grape juice. Because it's symbolic. It doesn't matter if it's a burger bun. It doesn't matter if it's a pit of bread. It doesn't matter if it's a cracker. Because it's symbolic. Because there is no power in the symbol. There is no power in that bread that you're holding in your hand right now. There is no power in the fruit shoot in the riben. There is no power in that little bit of grape juice. But what it symbolizes is the body of Jesus. What it symbolizes is the blood of the lamb. And coming back to Exodus chapter 12, God said, get yourself a lamb, sacrifice the lamb. And for every year, continue to do this. So as we celebrate Passover that starts very soon, I believe, don't hold me to it, April the 1st. April the 8th. It's the Passover. It's not Easter. There's no such thing as an Easter bunny. Cabaret's chocolate. So why are we telling the children that? There's no such thing as Easter. It's the Passover. It's the Passover lamb. It's very interesting what's happening in the world right now. We are getting ready for the Passover. This is the biggest festival in the world. It isn't Ramadan. It isn't any other worldly festival. It is the Passover. See, there is power in the name of Jesus. See, this goes right away back to the book of Exodus. All the other festivals go back nowhere. They don't really have a standing point.

SPEAKER_00

They don't have no whatsoever. But we have reference. Because the church is doing it. We're not doing it because we do it every service.

SPEAKER_01

We do it here in history because the Bible tells us to do it. We don't do it because we're religious. We do it because we're born-again spirit-filled believers. And we're breaking bread right now to remind ourselves. The body of Jesus Christ was broken from the Garden of Gethsemane right through to the cross of Calvary. So Easter, it's all about chocolate and not cross buns and having a bank holiday weekend. What's all that about? And cracking open up the barbecue. It's about the Passover. It's about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Yeah, I know the church has a little chat about it for an hour. And then they go back to watching Netflix. But we got to celebrate the Passover. Ramadan has nothing on the Passover. Hare Krishna has nothing on Jesus Christ. Sikhism has nothing on the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. The greatest festival the world has ever seen. This is fact is the Passover. See, when Jesus Christ was at the Passover table, there wasn't an Easter bunny sitting opposite him. There wasn't a bar of cadres dairy milk. Let's give it up for Lent. I think the biggest thing that you can give up for Lent is give Lent up itself. Eat as much chocolate and trust in Jesus Christ. So we're coming to the Passover. The passing over of the destroyer. And who was that? Who was that? Who was the one that took those lives? Who was the one that said, if I don't see the blood, it's death? This is brutal. Lucifer wasn't on the page. Lucifer wasn't in the wings. Lucifer wasn't in the scripture. God says, When I see the blood of the Lamb on the doorposts, on the lintels of your house, I will pass over. So now we know why we have the Passover. The passing over. And Jesus Christ in the New Testament in the garden said, if it's possible, take this cup from me. The cup of redemption. He was talking about the third cup on the Passover table. If it's possible, God, is there another way? But not my will. Thy will be done. See, Jesus followed in distraction. See, when you think about that, Jesus, fully God, fully man, fully king, fully Yahweh, fully Holy Spirit. He came as a child, obedient. The Bible says in the Gospel of John, in the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and He was with God in the beginning. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. Colossians chapter 1 says that he is the image of the invisible God. So don't listen to the world religions that are trying to tell you that Jesus Christ isn't who he says he is in the word. You don't need to jump in the area of apologetics and tell these devil worshipers. You just got to tell the world the love of God. You haven't got to prove Jesus. I haven't got to prove Jesus. Jesus doesn't need me. Because Jesus is just showing the world who Jesus is. He's in the heavens above. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He's a jealous God and He won't share His throne and His glory with no one. So Jesus Christ is the Passover Lamb. So it's interesting, isn't it, that the Bible, as we come to the table, don't talk about the Easter bunny. That's a pagan festival. Straight out of the barrel of lies, straight out of the devil's mouth. Lent, what is the purpose of Lent? And I know I'm gonna get some emails and text and hallelujah. What's the purpose of Lent? Why do I do it just for a few hours once a year? And tell the world I'm doing Lent. I'm doing Lent, I'm giving up this, I'm giving up that. And the Bible says, whatever you do, do it in secret. Don't tell the world. Don't tell the world that you're fasting. When you fast, put oil on your face, put your makeup on, put your lipstick on. Show the world that you you look good. The Bible says tear your clothes in pieces. Don't sit in ash clothes and sackcloth and tell the world, look, I'm fasting, I'm doing this, I'm giving this up. That's what the Pharisees do, that's what the pagans do, that's what the gods of this world do. Don't tell the world that you're fasting. Wash your face, put oil on your face, and get into the world. Because that's private, that's between you and God. You fast when you need to fast. Not because the calendar and the church in the UK says, Come on. Yes, I understand. I know what I know it goes a little bit further than that, but come on. We gotta get to the table. It's four minutes past ten. Holy Spirit, we're coming to the Passover table. The greatest festival in the world. And yes, it is a festival. Because the Bible tells us in Exodus chapter 12. God tells us to keep this moving, to keep it moving for generation after generation after generation. And Lord, I pray that through this prayer time together, Holy Spirit, I believe sickness bowels. I pray, dear God, that healing comes to hearts tonight. Freedom comes, and the Spirit of the Lord is over you. But right now, Lord, I break this bread. And I thank you that this bread symbolizes the body of Christ, the lamb that was slain. From the garden to the cross, from the cross to the tomb. From the tomb to the throne room. Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for all the saints. Holy Spirit, I thank you for this bread. And as we take this bread right now, we say, Jesus, take me closer to you. Lord, help me to get out of the mess of church and religion. And Lord, I just want to be a Jesus follower. I just want to Jesus. I just want to see your power and your glory because church is boring. Pastors boring. Religion is boring. Nothing's happening, Jesus. It's just noise. I want, dear God, miracles in my life. Lord, I want to tell the world of the love of Jesus. I want to tell the world that God loves them. Holy Spirit, as we come to the cup. Holy Spirit, as we come to the cup of redemption, I thank you that we are redeemed. I thank you, God, that we're redeemed by the blood of the Lamb. The blood of the Lamb, the blood of Jesus. Go back to the book of Exodus. God said, Take a lamb, sacrifice a lamb. God said, When you sacrifice that lamb, put the blood of that lamb in the basin at the bottom of your house. Get a branch, a hyssop, dip it in the blood. Put the blood over the doorpost of your house. So when the angel of destruction comes by, when I see the blood, the blood will be a sign. So suddenly the cross of Calvary is the fulfillment of the Lord, the Torah of the Old Testament. And Jesus Christ, when he bowed his head at the cross, when he gave up his spirit. See, death has no power. There is no power in death. What is death? Death is the doorway to Jesus. Death is a doorway to Jesus. When your last breath is taken, when our eyes shut, when this body gives up the ghost, and the last breath is breathed. And we stand in front of Jesus. Is he going to say,

Salvation At The Cross And Eternity

SPEAKER_01

Well done, good and faithful servant? Or is he going to say that line that gives me nightmares? Is he going to say that word, away from me? I don't know you. The Bible says, work out your salvation with fear and trembling. Work out your salvation with fear and trembling. See, church is so far off the page. We've got to know who Jesus Christ is. I've got to encourage you right now, in these last days on earth, to be a Jesus follower, to be braggadocious, to be a radical Bible-believing believer and believe. Don't get to church. Get yourself a Bible. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray, Lord, in the close of this service, as we take this cup that represents the blood of Jesus. I thank you, dear God, as we take this cup, we are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb. That there is redemption and there is hope in Jesus Christ. Sisters and brothers, boys and girls, cats and dogs, whoever you are across the world, when you look at salvation, when you think about salvation, it is a gift and it comes from above. It's not by work so that no one can boast. Redemption is free. Unconditional love. Grace beyond human understanding. The Bible says we're saved by grace, not by work so that no one can boast. It's not about getting into the church. As we close this prayer service, one quick look at the cross. See if you're online with us right now, you're on screen, you see that cross. See, there were three crosses at Calvary. Jesus in the middle, the murderers left and right. As we clearly know, the murderer that was on the left or the right, whatever it was, said to Jesus, help me. Help me, God. Jesus. And Jesus said within a twinkling of an eye, You'll be with me in paradise. I've said this more times than I can count lately. That thief on the cross wasn't baptized in the Holy Spirit. That thief on the cross didn't go to church. That thief on the cross wasn't in ministry. That thief in the cross didn't do a church service at all in his life. He didn't speak in tongues. He didn't read a Bible. Because the Bible wasn't in print form. The Bible was in physical form next to him. In the beginning was the word, and the word was with God. And the word was God. John chapter 1, verse 14 says, And the word became flesh. So at the cross of Calvary, you had the Old Testament hanging in the image of Jesus. You had God, the Holy Spirit, and Christ, the deity. And the thief says to Jesus, Remember me, help me. Just reflect on that a moment. He was a sinful man. He didn't read the Bible. The Bible read him. Do you get me? Because the Bible wasn't even in print form. The Bible was hanging on the cross. That is the word of God. The New Testament hadn't even sprung out yet. The Old Testament was there. And the New Testament was being birthed at the cross of Calvary. The New Testament was coming into full action when Jesus said, It is finished. And when Jesus said it is finished, Jesus gave permission for death just to come in. But Jesus is bigger than death. He's bigger than life. See, death is nothing when you know who Jesus is. Because death suddenly turns around and it becomes the door to eternity. But if you don't know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, death is a doorway to hell. That's why we get so fearful of it. We're so scared of dying. You've got to tell Jesus, God, I want your Lord in my life like never before. See, when this earth suit gives up its ghost, and many are saying, Well, we should hurry up right now when I put my PJs on to get in bed. When this earth suit gives up its last, and I drop to the floor. Before I drop to the floor, I'll be in front of the king. I'll be in front of the ruler and judge of heaven and earth. And what is Jesus gonna say to us? Oh, there are many Pentecostal Christians and all that out there. We're gonna give them a cuddle. Oh, I can't wait to see Jesus. Let me tell you this. When we stand in front of that king, there won't be no one with us except ruler and judge. And then we got, what way am I going? 50-50, phone a friend, that ain't gonna help you. See, salvation in a time of war suddenly becomes real. In the times in which we are living right now, suddenly it becomes real. See what the preachers preached, the fake name it and claim it, the prosperity gospel. How is that gonna help you when there's a rocket flying over your head? How is all those bags of money gonna help you when the bank has just been blown up? What are you gonna do when your Mercedes car has been blown up? What are you gonna do when the bank suddenly disappears? See, the prosperity gospel, the fake name it and claim it is empty. It's witchcraft, divination. But there is a gospel. There is a gospel about Jesus Christ as the Savior of the world. Because that's all I need to know. And Jesus says on the shoreline of Galilee, drop your nets, come and follow me. Let's just follow Jesus. Father, I pray as we pedal out of this prayer time. I pray, dear God, as we face a new week, that you will strengthen us and carry us, and the love of God will be so strong over our lives. Lord, that we won't engage in the weakness of the political drive. We won't engage in the weakness of the church. But Lord God, that we'll be found. We will be found in the kingdom of God. And Father, I thank you that you've caught everyone under the sound of my voice. Everyone right now that has stayed with us through this prayer time. Holy Spirit, I pray that there will be peace in Jerusalem. I pray for Israel and the Middle East and all the surrounding areas. Holy Spirit, please, please bring peace. But Lord, as we are waiting for the Antichrist, as we are watching many forerunners of the Antichrist, keep us strong, lift us and fill us to the full measure of thy glory. I want to tell you you're healed right now. I want to tell you you're blessed right now. I want to tell you that God is with you right now. God is with
