2 Corinthians 4:8–9 (NIV) “We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper
Across the world, believers gather in secret places—hidden rooms, silent homes, forest paths, closed-door cell groups, and encrypted online meetings—where faith comes at great cost. From London to Tehran, from Tehran to Kabul, from Kabul to Beijing, from Beijing to Mogadishu, millions of Christians live under surveillance, threat, hostility, imprisonment, and danger. 2 Corinthians 4:8–9 is one of the most treasured scriptures among persecuted communities because it declares that pressure cannot break what God upholds, and darkness cannot silence what Christ sustains. Their worship is whispered, their gatherings discreet, but their courage is supernatural. Today we lift every believer who risks everything to follow Jesus, every pastor in hiding, every family displaced by persecution, every young person forced to worship in secret, and every prisoner of faith who stands alone yet held by God’s presence. The Holy Spirit fills the underground church with boldness the world cannot understand.
Prayer Points Prayer for supernatural protection over hidden believers, prayer for courage in underground worship, prayer for strength for prisoners of faith, prayer for endurance under interrogation and pressure, prayer for safety over secret gatherings, prayer for comfort in isolation and fear, prayer for boldness to share Christ in restricted nations, prayer for provision for displaced Christian families, prayer for revival in persecuted regions, prayer for the gospel to advance despite opposition
Life Application Remember the persecuted church today. Pray intentionally for believers who cannot gather publicly or speak openly about Jesus. Let this scripture deepen your compassion and strengthen your intercession.
Declaration I declare that persecuted believers are not crushed, not abandoned, and not destroyed, for God upholds them with supernatural strength.
