John 14 : 6 — Faith Under Fire: Prayer for the Persecuted, Underground and Secret Church in Jesus Christ

Recorded live here in London, England — from London to Tehran, from Tehran to Kabul, from Kabul to Addis Ababa — as the free world gathers openly, the underground Church gathers quietly, holding fast to the name of Jesus Christ.

Scripture (NIV)

“Jesus answered, ‘I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.’” — John 14 : 6 (NIV)

Show Notes

Faith Under Fire is not a story of defeat but of divine endurance. Across the earth, millions worship behind closed doors — in basements, safe houses, and fields where speaking the name of Jesus Christ is illegal. Yet the whispering Church still sings. Reports from Open Doors and Release International confirm what Scripture declares: the truth cannot be imprisoned.

From London to Tehran, Kabul to Addis Ababa, believers are risking everything to follow the Way. They carry no weapons but faith, no banners but the Cross. Their strength is found not in freedom but in fellowship with Christ who suffered first.

This morning we pray for the Persecuted, the Secret, and the Underground Church — for faith to stand when fear is loud, for unity in the Body of Christ, and for courage to proclaim His name in the dark.

We're in the great Gospel of John, chapter 14, verse 6, and we're under Faith Under Fire. And you've got it. We're back in the Persecuted Church, the Underground Church, the secret church of Jesus Christ. And we're going to pray. Come on, we're going to lock shields of faith. We're going to stand and be still and know that He's God today. We are asking God to move through that church, faith under fire, the persecuted church. Father, we are in prayer right now and we're praying for the secret whisper of God. We're praying for that whisper in silence, that whisper that can only be heard in the heart of the individual. We're praying for the persecuted church, the church under fire, faith under fire. But we believe in John 14, verse 6 that this is a prayer of courage, this is a prayer of conviction. This is a prayer, dear God, of perseverance through Jesus Christ. You are the way, the truth, and the life. So, Father, as we pray this prayer out today, Lord, we believe in John 14, verse 6. Jesus answered, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Lord, I thank you that we have to go through Jesus Christ, the way to the Father. You are the good shepherd, you are the door, you are the gatekeeper, you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. And we believe that Jesus is the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. I thank you, Lord God, that salvation is over our lives and wherever we are situated across the world, dear God, from Tehran, dear God, to Russia, to Turkey, to the Middle East, Father God, from Kabul, all the way, dear God, to Australia, Father, and the Belaric Island, Spirit of the Living God, move over every tribe, every tongue. Lord, let this whole world be saved. And the prayer today, Lord, is Father, let us know that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. And no one gets to the Father except through thee. So Lord, the church under fire, the church under fire right now. Lord, give it divine endurance as it goes across the world. Father, as millions are worshiping in secret behind closed doors. Lord, I pray for an outpouring of your spirit. Lord, I pray that the whispering church will sing under fire. I thank you, dear God, as Open Doors and Release International, many other ministries and missionaries and pastors, Lord, are doing such an amazing work. We pray for, dear God, the missionaries now. We pray for the ministries. We thank you that scriptures are getting out. We pray, dear God, that the word can never be imprisoned. The word can never be stopped. The word is moving right now. So, Father, we pray, dear God, as Jesus Christ is lifted up, Lord, as we carry the banner that no weapon forged against us shall prosper. Lord, we carry, dear God, the weapons of faith. Lord, we carry the cross of Calvary. We carry the word of God and we lift up the secret church, the underground church. We pray that you will give it freedom from religious, dear God, chains. Lord, it will walk in power. Lord, we pray for the persecuted, the secret, and the underground church, for faith that stands out louder than fear. We pray, dear God, for unity in the body of Christ and courage to proclaim the name of the Lord in dark nations. We ask you, God, we pray for the persecuted church worldwide. We pray, dear God, for the underground believers and the hidden worshipers. We ask that Christians that are in danger will have their faith renewed. We pray for courage to stand for Jesus. We pray for strength in suffering and trials, families torn apart by persecution, people that have been separated from their loved ones, their friends, pastors and missionaries in prison, Christians that are in prison. Father, we pray for revival through that secret church, that there will be such an outpouring of your spirit. Lord, today we want to tell the world that Jesus Christ is the way, the truth, and the life. And no one can silent the word of God. For his light is still shining in dark places. We believe as we make a call to action, we pray that we share this faith. We share this faith under fire prayer with those so that they can rise up in the name of Jesus Christ. Bless the persecuted church, the whispering church, the underground church, that secret church, that church that's in prison, that church that is lifting up the name of Jesus Christ. Bless our brothers and sisters across the world in Jesus' name. May God bless you. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, stay blessed.
