Whatever your time zone is, there is a prayer we got to pray today. And this is for our brothers and sisters, Faith under fire for the persecuted church. We've got to pray for the persecuted church, we've got to pray for divine courage. We've got to pray for protection, strength for the underground church. Father, we come to you right now as faith is under fire. Lord, as the persecuted church is rising this morning, as the underground church, Father God, is seeking the hand of God. Lord, we pray for these four nations in the highest global positioning, dear God. Lord, we pray for these four nations that are so high, dear God, where the persecuted Christian is running for their lives. We pray, dear God, for North Korea. We pray, dear God, for Afghanistan. We pray for Somalia and the Yemen. We pray, dear God, that Yemen will be bloodwashed, sanctified, saved. Father, we pray for Somalia, dear God, that you will bless, dear God, Samaria, dear God, and the Holy Ghost will be with them in the name of Jesus. Father, we pray for Afghanistan, North Korea. We pray, dear God, for Eritrea. We pray, dear God, for the nations that are coming under persecution. We think of Iran right now. Lord, bless Iran in the name of Jesus. Lord, Father, in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Lord, we pray for China. Lord, the Christians that are running for their lives in China. But Lord, we thank you that your unsaving grace remains the same. And right now we pray, dear God, for faith under fire for the persecuted church. We're praying for divine courage, protection, and strength for our brothers and sisters on the other side of the world. Lord, as they gather under trees, as they gather behind closed doors, as they gather to whisper and to worship in secret. We pray for that secret church, that church that is dug deep in the Word of God. We pray for the prisoners of faith. We pray that the glory of God will be with those families that have been left behind, for the brothers and sisters that have had their lives martyred because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray for the villages that have been burnt. We pray, dear God, for the churches that have dropped, because of uh the organizations, because of certain areas, dear God, have flattened the churches. We pray and we thank you that the underground church doesn't need a building because it walks and it moves in the kingdom. We thank you, Lord, that we don't necessarily need the building. We need our God. So, Lord, we pray for our brothers and sisters wherever they are right now. And Lord, we ask for strength. We ask, God, that you will move by your spirit, that you will move by your mercy. And we believe and we pray through Matthew 5, 10. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Father, we thank you that they are walking in the kingdom of God. And we believe in Hebrews 13, verse 3. Continue to remember those that are in prison as if it was yourself in there. Father, we pray. For those that are in lockdown and in prison because of their faith. Prisoners of faith, we ask you, Lord, that you will strengthen them and be with them. Lord, as their faith is under fire across this world. Strengthen the persecuted church and guard every believer who follows Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Draw them close. Father, we pray for the sons and daughters of North Korea. We pray for the sons and daughters of Afghanistan. We pray for the sons and daughters of Samaria, Lord, and Somalia, dear God, the Yemen, we pray for the underground church. Lord, as they worship you, dear God, in their nearness, Father, in protection, in wisdom and courage, as they worship you, dear God, in hidden areas. Father, come. Bless the house church. Father, we pray that the house church will grow. As believers worship in secret, surrounded by bullets, surrounded, dear God, by terrorism, surrounded by wars, surrounded, dear God, by the enemy. Father, we pray for courage. We pray for protection. We pray for the persecuted believer. We pray for endurance. We pray for boldness. We pray for comfort and also we pray for hope. Father, bless the listeners from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Give them courage today, but bless the underground and the secret church in the greatest name in heaven and earth. May the joy of the Lord be your strength.
