Praying for the Persecuted Church

[musicalpilgrim]

The persecuted Church survives in situations of intolerable pressure and hostility, and is active and alive...

I have started with North Korea, and we can move on to other countries where Christians are persecuted.

33 Christians sentenced to death in North Korea

Help us to walk alongside them and support them with our prayers, in Jesus name

Help them to forgive those who mistreat them
To love those who are 'just doing their jobs'
And to witness to those who pretend not to hear

And to witness to those who pretend not to hear

Thankyou,musicalpilgrim,for making us aware of the persecuted Christians in North Korea. I am praying with you for them

Brother Andrew, the founder of Open Doors, says, “Our prayers can go where we cannot... There are no borders, no prison walls, no doors that are closed to us when we pray.”

A PRAYER FOR AFGHANISTAN
the second most dangerous place in the world to be a Christian

Lord Jesus, thank You that people in Afghanistan are coming to know You despite the extreme persecution they face.

Please help believers to shine as witnesses for You in their day-to-day lives.
Protect and strengthen those who are facing persecution from their families and communities, and give wisdom to those who are working to support secret Afghan believers.

I pray for the persecuted Christians in North Korea and Afghanistan,
Dear Lord give them strength, and the filling of the Holy Spirit to sustain them. Look after and protect their families, and keep the children safe in your love.

The persecuter's sin will come back upon their own heads! 'Vengeance is mine',says the Lord

 

[musicalpilgrim]

Dear Lord,
We pray for those who have suffered loss because of their faith,
For those whose homes have been destroyed
Whose possessions have been taken
Whose land has been stolen
Whose churches have been burned or bombed
Make us Lord, restorers, repairers, rebuilders

May our hearts be with these persecuted ones. They are our brothers and sisters in Christ,part of the Body of Christ. When one part of the Body suffers,we all suffer with it

Proverbs 31:8
8 Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves;
ensure justice for those being crushed.

The persecuted Church in North Korea, operate in secret, unable to speak up for their rights for fear of imprisonment or death.


Open Doors has a dedicated team speaking up for the persecuted Church in the UK Parliament, at the UN and in other global forums.

Dear Father, Give me the courage to take every opportunity to speak up for others who cannot speak up for themselves

Dear Father, bless and strengthen the Christians in North Korea and Afghanistan and take away all fear and anxiety. Lead and guide each dear soul into all that you have planned for them.

Heavenly Father,we pray for the persecuted Christians in North Korea and Afganistan. So many have been martyred and disruption caused. Godless men will not prosper forever but God will judge them either in this world or the world to come. Bring justice Lord. Bring relief to those serving You,we ask in Jesus name.
