Ephesians 2 : 8–10 — Faith Under Fire: Prayer for the Secret, Underground and Whispering Church Living by Grace in Jesus Christ

9 A.M. Release — Recorded live here in London, England — from London to Yangon, from Yangon to Kabul, from Kabul to Addis Ababa — as the free Church worships openly, the hidden Church prays quietly, clinging to the grace of Jesus Christ.

Scripture (NIV)

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith — and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God — not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” — Ephesians 2 : 8–10 (NIV)

Show Notes

All over the world, the persecuted Church prays in whispers. Their worship is unseen, but heaven hears every word. Reports from Open Doors and Release International reveal that persecution is rising, yet so is grace.
Across search platforms, believers type “prayer for persecuted Christians,” “strength for the underground Church,” and “courage through Jesus Christ.”

From London to Yangon, Kabul to Addis Ababa, we intercede for the Secret Church — those whose faith costs them everything. They cannot post a sermon, but they preach by endurance. They cannot sing in public, yet their quiet hymns move heaven.
 By the grace of Jesus Christ, they are not forgotten — they are God’s handiwork in the hardest places on earth.

This morning we pray for divine protection, unbreakable courage, and a fresh outpouring of grace for every believer living under fire.

We're praying for the underground church, the whispering church, living by grace through Jesus Christ. Father, I want to say thank you to the listeners right now. I just want to say thank you to every listener wherever they are in the name of Jesus Christ. And we are praying, Father, for the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit to move right now. Lord, as we are in faith under fire, we pray for the persecuted church, the underground church, the secret church, the whispering church that is rooted in Ephesians chapter 2, verses 6. Oh my God, I gotta tell the world today that the Spirit of God is over your life. Father, I want to say, Holy Spirit, come. Lord, I want to say, Holy Spirit, move over us today. Lord, I believe that the persecuted church is, Father, it is rising in the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, we believe in Ephesians chapter 2 right now, for it is by grace you have been saved through faith. Oh my good God, and this is not because of yourselves, it is a gift from God, not by work, so that no one can boast. For we are God's handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Father, we believe that you have prepared a great advanced work for each and every one of us to do. We believe in the fire of God, we believe in the Holy Spirit, we believe in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. We believe that the fire of God is over our lives. And right now, wherever we are gathering, Lord, we want to pray. Lord, we are praying for the whispering church. We're praying for the church that gathers the church under fire. We're praying for that church, the persecuted church. And today, Lord, across all platforms, across all lives, Lord, believers like myself and the prayer team here today. We are praying for the persecuted Christian. We're praying for strength for the underground church and courage through Jesus Christ. Lord, all the way, dear God, from Yemen to Kabul, all the way, dear God, all the way from Kabul, dear God, to Afghanistan, Spirit of the living God. We ask you, Father, that Yemen will be saved. We pray for Sudan. We pray, dear God, for Myanmar, Lord, we pray for Eritrea. We pray, dear God, for the doors will open right now in Singapore for the gospel to move faster. We pray for North Korea, South Korea, we pray for Hong Kong. We pray that there'll be a serious breakout. Lord, as brothers and sisters are getting down into the word of God right now, we pray for our brothers and sisters in the persecuted church. We pray, Father, as they sing hymns quietly. Father, as they pray quietly, Lord, as they as they run for their lives, as the gospel is being preached in hard areas across the world. We ask you for protection, divine protection. Lord, unshakable faith for them right now, a fresh outpouring of grace and mercy in the church that is under fire. We believe that the persecuted and the underground church is growing. We believe that there is courage for the secret believers in Christ. Faith under persecution. We believe that it is moving at such a rate. Lord, give them strength. Give them grace. Lord, let the gospel, dear God, go out in power. We pray for protection for the underground pastors and leaders. We pray for families that have been martyred. We pray for those, Louis God, that they will receive grace to endure Jesus' name. As they are running right now, as they are gathering for the whispering church, we ask you, Lord, for breakthrough. Father, we thank you that grace is not given to escape the fire. It is the strength that keeps us alive when we're going through the shadow. Lord, it is the power of God. And we pray for that grace of Jesus Christ that they will stand firm and the church will rise and it will not be silent. We believe, dear God, for the nations that are under fire. We believe faith that is under fire right now. The word of God cannot be changed. But we share this prayer with the world today. Father, in the name of Jesus, bless Lord God the church that is under fire right now. Strengthen the persecuted church. Let the love of God be over them today. The church that's under fire, the church that's under the hammer, the church, dear God, that's gathering in secret. As they whisper and as they worship, as they pray in secret, we pray, dear God, for prisoners of faith that they will know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. That they will realize right now as they're in prison, Lord, that their faith is under fire, but the glory is with them. Bless them in their prison cell. Lord, we pray for the families of brothers and sisters that have been martyred for their faith. Strengthen the secret church, the persecuted church, the underground church, the whispering church. Let your grace and your fire touch that today in Jesus' name. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, stay blessed.
