SPEAKER_00:

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where faith meets the world in daily devotion and global hope. This is your five-minute commute of prayer as we gather around the word of God, as we lift up the name of Jesus. Come on, wherever you are. We're going to pray for our brothers and sisters in the church that is under fire. We're going to pray for the persecuted church, the underground church, the four nations that we're going to pray for. These nations are right up in the world watch list. They are North Korea. They are Afghanistan. They are Somalia and the Yemen. We've had these a few times this week, and we've got to keep praying for these because they are in that hot bed. And we've got to pray that God will move through North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia and Yemen. Father, we believe that North Korea is saved. We believe that Afghanistan is saved. We believe Somalia is saved. We believe that the Yemen is saved. But right now, dear God, we pray for faith under fire. Lord, as we record this live here in London, England, we believe that the power of God is with our brothers and sisters, Lord. Faith under fire, the persecuted church. Give them courage and protection and strength for the underground church as it crosses hostile nations. Spirit of the living God, as we rest here in London, Lord, from London to Cairo, from Cairo to Eastan Ball, from East Dan Ball to Mumbai, from Mumbai to Buenos Aires. Father, we pray, dear God, as we recall this live here in London, England, we pray for such an outpouring of your spirit that the love of God will move, that the strength of God, that the glory of God, that the power of God and the love of Jesus will be with those that are facing trials right now because of the gospel. Those, dear God, we pray for Bibles to get into those hostile nations. We pray for breakthrough that we never thought possible. We pray for the believers that are really suffering. But Lord, we believe that Matthew 5, verse 10 is so critical for the persecuted church. Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Father, we thank you for those that are coming under persecution, because as they come under persecution, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. As they walk, dear God, in the kingdom of heaven, we believe that the love and the power of God and the Spirit of the Lord is over every brother, every sister that is around the world. But Lord, we channel, we focus, we dig in. Right now, Lord, like a spear, dear God, like an arrowhead. Father, we pray for our brothers and sisters that are being persecuted. And Lord, we believe for Hebrews 13, verse 3, continue to remind those in prison as if it was those yourself. Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, we continue, we continue to remind ourselves for those that are in prison as if it was us ourselves. So Lord, as the Hebrew writer writes in Hebrews 13, verse 3, Father, Lord, I pray for our brothers and sisters that are in prison. Lord, we pray as if it was us behind the bar. Spirit of the living God, give endurance, give hope to the Christians facing danger, pressure in hostile nations. Father, we pray for the prisoners of faith. Lord, scattered across the persecuted lands. Father, we believe that the love of God is moving powerfully. Today we lift up faith under fire, families across the world, strengthen the persecuted church. Dear God, uphold every believer standing for Christ under threat right now. Cover your sons and daughters in North Korea, Afghanistan, Somalia, and Yemen. Lord, surround the underground church with protection, wisdom, courage. Father, we pray as they gather, dear God, in dangerous places. Lord, they're looking for the whispering voice of God. They're looking for the power of the voice of God. Lord, let there be breakthrough. Lord, let their fear be broken today. Let the Spirit of the Lord carry our sisters and brothers. We pray for courage. We pray for protection. We pray for the persecuted believer. We pray for endurance. We pray for boldness. Come, Holy Spirit, bring comfort, and we pray for hope. Lord, you are a good God. And we believe that the word of God is keeping our sisters and brothers safe, dear God. Bless those behind the bars. Bless those that are running. Bless those that are receiving Bibles right now. Father, the four nations that we mentioned. Father, let the Spirit of the Lord be over the leaders. Father, let Bibles get into those borders. Father, let Bibles get in to the secret church, the underground church. Father, let your glory rain down. Come, Holy Spirit, Lord, send a word right now to our spirit, our mind, our body, our soul. Lord, supercharge us up today. Let the glory, let the power, let the anointing rest over each and every one of us. Come, God, we need your glory. Father, thank you for the listeners wherever they are today. Bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Until tomorrow.
