Hebrews 13:3 — Prayer for the Persecuted Church, the Secret Church and the Underground Church From London to Kabul, from Mogadishu to Pyongyang, from Tripoli to hidden house churches across the world — we stand with believers who cannot stand openly. Hebrews 13:3 — “Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them…” 2 Timothy 2:9 — “God’s word is not chained.”

THE FOUR ROTATED PERSECUTED NATIONS (NEW TODAY)

Afghanistan — believers hunted, churches fully underground Somalia — conversion punishable, extreme secrecy North Korea — the world’s most dangerous place to follow Christ Libya — believers disappear into detention without trial Global searches rise today around “underground church stories,” “Christians suffering,” and “faith under persecution.” December often intensifies crackdowns in hostile regions. Hebrews 13:3 is one of the most-read persecuted-church scriptures worldwide. Prayer  Father, in the mighty name of Jesus, we lift the persecuted church before You — the underground church, the whispering church, the secret worshippers who follow Christ in danger. We pray for Afghanistan, Somalia, North Korea and Libya. Strengthen believers who gather quietly in locked rooms, caves, basements or remote places. Protect those who hide their Bibles, whisper their hymns and share the gospel at great personal risk. Lord, cover every pastor, every family, every new convert and every imprisoned believer with Your supernatural protection. Let courage rise where fear presses in. Let hope burn where darkness tries to swallow the light. Jesus, sustain Your people. Surround them with angels, fortify their faith and let Your Word run freely where chains attempt to silence it.

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, and strength. Wherever you are today, we just want to say thank you so much. We want to pause and just say thank you before we dive into prayer. I know we got to jump straight into prayer, but we just want to say a massive thank you to everybody. Thank you so much for downloading, for listening, for praying, for standing. Come on, let's get going. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I just want to say thank you for the listeners around the world right now. I want to say, Father, bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Let the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, the goodness of God speak to each and every one of them right now. But Lord, right now, right now, Jesus, we are locking in to the underground church. We are locking in to the secret church. We are locking in to the whispering church. Father, we pray for our brothers and sisters that are carrying such a weight, running for their lives, the urgency of this global dear God prayer, as we come to pray together. Father, we lock shields of hope. Lord, we stand on the word of God, and wherever we are gathering for scripture now, for prayer, we believe that the love of God is with us from London to Kabul, from Kabul, all the way, dear God, to Hong Kong, from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur to Tel Aviv to Israel, Spirit of the Living God, move over our lives. Father, refresh us and sustain us. But Lord, we are praying. We are praying. Hebrews 13, verse 3. We are praying for those that are in prison right now for their faith. We're praying for faith under fire. We're praying for the love of God, the Spirit of the Lord. We're praying that the Lion of Judah will bless those prisoners of faith wherever they are in the name of Jesus. We continue to remind those that are in prison as if it was us ourselves. Lord, we thank you for Hebrews 13 verse 3. But Lord, not only do we hold Hebrews 13 verse 3, Lord, we stand on the rock of all ages. Lord, we claim that Afghanistan, Somalia, North Korea, Libya will be saved. We pray for the believers right now in Afghanistan. We pray that you will bring peace and love in the name of Jesus. Lord, the secret church in Afghanistan. Lord, as believers are being hunted right now for their lives. Lord, we pray for the churches fully underground. The church in Afghanistan that is fully deep underground. The whispering church, the extreme church that is running for its life. So Lord, we pray for Afghanistan, the believers that are being hunted, the churches that are fully underground, Somalia. Lord, we are asking that the Father and the power and the anointing of God, Lord, just please, please, God, the extreme, the extreme violence that's happening to the believers within Somalia. Bless Somalia, Afghanistan, the believers, the prisoners of faith, the underground church, the Christians that are suffering. Lord, faith under fire, the persecution, especially right now. Lord, the underground church stories, let them rise on wings as of eagles. Protect them, Lord, and also North Korea, the world's most dangerous place to follow Christ. Holy Spirit, we pray for North Korea. We believe that Bibles are getting into North Korea. We believe that North Korea will be saved. Lord, the world's most dangerous place to be a Jesus follower. Lord, we pray that you will protect them. Dear God, in North Korea, we ask you, dear God, for the underground church, the whispering church, the secret church, the church that is coming under serious attack right now. Libya. Father, we are praying for believers. We are bringing Libya right now to the quietness to the cross. And Lord bless those believers in Libya, dear God, that are running for their lives. They are under trial. Holy Spirit, we ask you that the fire of God will be with the persecuted church right the way through. In the mighty name of Jesus, we lift the persecuted church before you, the underground church, the whispering church, the secret worshippers who follow Jesus in danger. So Lord, bless Afghanistan, Somalia, North Korea, Libya. Strengthen that movement. Lord, we thank you that Bibles are in, that they are whispering hymns from their very heart. Spirit of the Living God, bless those that are under, that are under extreme pressure. Bless the house church as it rises. Bless the church in the prison as it rises.
