Christian Straight Talk is a bold and authentic Christian podcast where Reverend Ben Cooper and Simon Pinchbeck bring honest, powerful, and deeply practical conversations about faith, life, and the journey of following Jesus Christ.
In a world filled with noise, confusion, and competing voices, this podcast cuts through the distraction and speaks directly to the heart of what it means to live as a Christian today. Through open dialogue, biblical teaching, and real-life experiences, Ben and Simon explore the truths of the Bible, the challenges facing modern believers, and the strength that comes from walking closely with God.
Designed especially with men’s ministry and Christian leadership in mind, Christian Straight Talk creates a space where men can grow spiritually, ask difficult questions, and discover the power of faith lived out in everyday life. Each episode tackles topics such as identity, courage, purpose, prayer, spiritual battles, mental health, relationships, and the calling of Christian men to lead with integrity and humility.

Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
We pray through Sunday-night fear and anxiety, choosing Joshua 1:9 courage and the quiet confidence that God is with us wherever we go. We ask for peace, healing, and practical provision as we let the past go and step into hope, faith, and abundance in Jesus.
• opening prayer for strength, mercy, and stillness at the end of the week
• choosing courage and focus on Jesus over fear-driven news and social media noise
• Jeremiah 29:11 hope and purpose for the future
• closing the door on the past, overthinking, and mental exhaustion
• following Jesus as a way of life rather than religion
• calling the things that are not as though they are through prayer and faith-filled speech
• praying for provision in everyday needs: fuel, rent, food, bills, work, children
• loaves and fishes as a picture of God’s increase and “not enough” becoming enough
• communion and a commitment to live the next seven days with radical faith
• final encouragement to trust God one day at a time
Don't ever, ever, ever give up.
Do not let this be the end of the conversation.

Welcome And Opening Prayer
SPEAKER_00Good evening, good evening. God bless you wherever you are across the world in the beautiful name of Jesus Christ. We welcome you to this Sunday evening. It is the 12th of April and it is 22, 23 minutes past nine on this Sunday evening, wherever you are scattered across the world. The love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit is with each and every one of us. We're going to jump straight into prayer. God bless you wherever you are on this Sunday evening. We're going to jump straight into Joshua chapter 1, verse 9. The Bible says, be strong and courageous. Father, in the name of Jesus, we just pray, dear God, for each and every one of us, wherever we are across the world. Lord, that you will help us to be strong and you will help us to be courageous. Lord, that you will just carry us, Lord. Whatever is going on, Lord, in our head and our heart on this Sunday evening, Lord, at 23 minutes past nine. Lord, we pray for your love, your mercy, your saving grace over each and every one of us. That we will feel your peace, your love, your goodness, Jesus. You are the King of Kings and you are the Lord of Lords. And Father, we pray as we settle into this Sunday evening, Lord, as we just try to declutter our head of what's going to happen tomorrow at work, at life, at school, just with the general humdrum way of life. Father, we come before you, Lord, right now. And Lord, we say, Yes, Jesus. Yes, Lord, we're going to believe for change in our lives. Lord, we're going to believe, Lord God, that we're going to be strong and courageous. We're going to believe, Lord God, as Joshua was commanded to be strong and courageous. Father, Lord, help us to keep our eyes off of what's happening in the shipping lanes. Help us, Lord, to keep our eyes on Jesus. And Father, I pray for any one of us that is worried and scared about the future, the present, and the past. Lord, that you will keep us steady in the greatest name in heaven and earth. That the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit will just strengthen each and every one of us. But wherever we are across the world, Lord, we call on the greatest name in heaven and earth, on the name of Jesus right now, Lord, that you will strengthen us, Lord, that you will just lead us into paths of righteousness. Lord, you told and you told Joshua, sorry, you told Joshua, dear God, to be strong and courageous. Holy Spirit, we just pray that we will rest at this hour and we will find a place, Lord, for our heart to be strong, our minds to be courageous. Lord, that we will keep going, Lord. You told him, dear God, very loud and very clear, that the Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go. Father, we thank you that you're with us right now, as we sit on the sofa, as we sit in the traffic jam of life, wherever we are across the world. Lord, as we just lay in bed right now, a nice cup of tea, dear God, as we just rest, Lord, in our homes. Wherever we are across the world, Lord, as the sun is setting, Lord, as the sun is rising, as the rain may fall. Father God, I just pray right now, Lord, that you will just help us to be strong and courageous, that you will lead us in paths of righteousness right now. Lord, we believe in new beginnings. Lord, we believe that there are new beginnings for each and every one of us. And Father, I pray that you'll give us the faith to stand strong, to be bold and to be courageous in every area, every corner of our lives. Lord, that we will lean into the word of God. And Lord, that we will just sit on the edge of the bed right now, lay on the bed, on the sofa, in the chair. Lord, in the garden, whatever we are doing, whatever the time zone is right now, Lord, in the glorious name of Jesus Christ, we pray, Lord, that we will just look up to the heavens. And we will just say our simple prayer, dear God, I just pray that you will keep me strong, you'll keep us courageous, Lord, that you will give us courage, Lord God, for today, for tomorrow, for this hour, whatever the time zone is, wherever we are across the world, that the love of God and the presence of Jesus will just cover us right now. I pray for those that feel really scared and worried about life. Lord, that we will be strong and we will be courageous, and we will just rest and be still and know that you are God. And as we lean in to this prayer time together, Lord, as we lock in across the world, Father, we thank you that the battle belongs to the Lord. You are Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi. And I pray right now, Lord, that you will give us that coverage that we need. Lord, that you will remove that fear, Lord Jesus, as the clock is ticking, Lord, as the sun has descended, dear God, over London right now. We pray, dear God, as the night sets in on this Sunday evening, Lord, that we won't think about tomorrow. The journey into work, the journey into life itself, what might be happening at work, at home, just through what's going to happen tomorrow. I just pray, dear God, that we will just lean into Jesus, lean into the word of God, that we will open up the Bible tonight, Lord, and just sit and be still and just rest and just, dear God, take those thoughts out of our minds, Lord. Take those areas of trouble away, Lord. Those areas, Lord God, that are just troubling us, those like little foxes, Lord, that just keep nipping at our ankles, dear God. As the Bible says, the dogs and the foxes just nipping away at the ankles, those gentle nips over the days, over the years, over the weeks, dear God, just wearing us down. Father, we pray for all those thoughts that try and wear us down. Lord, that we will be strong and we'll be courageous, Lord, that we will stand up, dear God. And let's remind each other that Lord thy God will be with us wherever we go. So Lord, we thank you, dear God, that you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And we need that courage. We need that strength because, Lord, as we listen to the shipping lane, it's closed, it's open. Lord, it sounds like it's doing a kokie, okie, kokie, dear God, in the name of Jesus. Lord, I just pray right now in the love of God that we won't listen, dear God, to what's happening in the rhetoric around the world. We won't listen, dear God, to what's happening in the political agenda. Lord, that we will just lean into Jesus and say, Lord, whatever happens in that shipping lane happens. But my God will get fuel in my car. My God will get petrol in my car. My God will make a way where there seems to be no way. Spirit of the living God, we just ask you right now that we won't engage in the table tennis of life. Lord, that we won't engage, dear God, in the sound of war and what's happening and what's not happening. The ceasefire's on, the ceasefire is off. But Lord, that we will just concentrate and focus on Jesus. And just for this still time, just for these moments on this Sunday evening, almost half past nine, Lord, we just pray for the love of God and the presence of Jesus. Just to carry us right now. Lord, that we won't focus on social media. Lord, that we won't listen, dear God, to the bells and the whistles of life. Lord, that we will just focus on you just for these moments, just at these moments, Lord, as we're just leaning into prayer, as we just sit in the stillness of our house, in the van, in the car, commuting across the world, wherever we are. Lord, that we just hold this place, Lord, of stillness. Lord, help us to be still and know that you're God. Lord, you tell us in the great book of Jeremiah 29, verse 11, for I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to give you a hope and a future. And I want to tell you tonight, there's a plan and there's a purpose. And there is a direction for your life. There is a way forward, and his name is Jesus. There is a plan over your life. He's the King of glory. There is hope. So, Father, we pray for hope right now. Lord, that this hope, dear God, will stir our hearts. That this hope, dear God, will stir us. Lord, that we won't look at what is happening around us. We won't look at the Jericho, dear God, and we won't, dear God, look at the situations and think, oh my goodness, I'm never going to be able to move forward. I'm never going to get a way out of this. I'm never going to be able to progress in my life. I'm always going to stay stuck in this situation. Lord, I want to thank you, dear God, that there is a way out. I thank you, Lord, there is a way out. I thank you, dear God, as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. We will fear no evil. So, Lord, as we keep living our lives and keep moving forward, Lord, you're opening doors of opportunity. And Lord, not only are you opening doors, dear God, of the future, you're closing doors of the past. Doors that we just can't seem to close. Doors that just seem to be wide open. Swung open, Lord, like patio doors, just wide open, Lord. We just can't seem to close certain doors of the past. The doors in the head, the thinking, the overthinking, the overengineering. Lord, we pray right now, Lord God, that the door of history will close. And Lord, we thank you that we will step into a new purpose, a new beginning, a future, dear God, that is just bright and powerful with hope and joy. Lord, I pray, as Nehemiah says, the joy of the Lord shall be our strength, that we will walk forward in power and authority and in the love of Jesus. And Lord, I pray that Jeremiah 29, 11 comes alive in all of our lives. God says, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to give you a hope and a future. Holy Spirit, Lord, I pray for every listener right now that they will realize that they got a future, they got a present, and their history has gone at the name of Jesus. Holy Ghost, I just come to you right now. And we just say, Lord, I just pray that you'll close the door of the past. Lord, there are many doors, Father God, that just seem to be swinging open of the past. Dear God, like the saloon doors, they just keep swinging backwards and forwards to and fro, Lord. Father Lord, I just pray that you'll close doors of the past where we can leave the past. Because the past is actually at the cross, and the cross has wiped everything out. So Lord, it's just our minds. It's just our minds, just thinking and thinking and thinking. The exhaustion, dear God, of thinking, overthinking, over-engineering the history of what was, what could have been, what should have been. Holy Spirit, I pray right now that we won't look back, but we will look forward. That we will look at the cross of Calvary and say to ourselves, history has gone. The present is starting to move into history right now. And Lord, I want to look forward to the future. I want to look up, dear God, and see the glory of God. I want to see, dear God, that those plans that you have for us, dear God, we are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. And Lord, as we go forward in faith, as we step out in faith, we believe those plans that you have for us, Lord, as the scripture says, plans to give us a hope and a future, not to harm us in any way. So Lord, we pray, Lord, that you will give us the faith right now to let go of the suitcases, the suitcases of yesterday, the suitcases of six months, twelve months, five years, ten years, and further back. Lord, that we will leave the suitcases of history at the cross. Because Lord, it's all gone. It's all wiped away, Lord, and there is a future, and his name is Jesus, and he's calling you. Jesus is calling you, not to church. Keep away from church. Open up the Bible and call on the greatest name in heaven and earth. There's a future. There are promises in the word of God. And as you look at those candles just burning, as you look at that cross, just in the backdrop there, and as you just look at that, just that backdrop there, you know, the Lord is close to you, the Lord is with you, the Lord is near to you. The Bible is so clear and so powerful. As you look at that cross for those that are on visuals with us right now, you know, the Spirit of the Lord is moving over your life. You're not here by chance, you're here because God has called you to be here. God is speaking to your heart, your mind, your body, and your soul. And Jesus Christ loves you. There is a way forward. He says, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. Jesus has made a way. He is the way. And he's calling you not to church, not to religion, but to be a Jesus follower. And we haven't got to get into church to be a Jesus follower. We haven't got to step into the religious box on a Sunday morning and smile at the pastor and go, Hello, yeah, how are you, wonderful? We've just got to say, Lord, I want to follow you. Lord, I want to live a radical, free life in the name of Jesus. Lord, I want to live by faith. Lord, I want to see the sun rise. Lord, I want to see your glory. I want to see the power of creation. Lord, I want to see the goodness of God. You know, there are promises for you. There are promises for you right now. There are promises for each and every one of us. The spiritual law, the power of the spiritual law. And as we pray tonight, as we call the things that are not as though they are. You know, when when God said, Let there be light, and there was, He was calling the things that are not as though they are. And it's the same for each and every one of us today. So whatever you are looking at, all the hurdles you see in our lives, the hurdles that we face, the worries, the fears, the doubts. Let's pray over every hurdle. Let's pray that every Jericho will fall. Let's pray that every promise will come like rain over your lives tonight. And you will see the goodness of God. It is so powerful to follow Jesus. To follow Him, not to go to church, but to follow Jesus. Jesus is calling you wherever you are. He is your shepherd, as that great book says. The prayers of David, Psalm 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. Father, I pray that those green pastures, those promises, those new beginnings, Lord, that we will leave, dear God, the barren land. Lord, I pray that we will leave the barren land, Lord, that we will leave those dry areas of our lives. Lord, that we will stop looking, dear God, at those dry areas of life and keep trying to get stuff to grow on the old dead bit of land, Lord, that we won't hang around the dead place, Lord, that we will step into new destiny. Lord, I pray, dear God, that we will hold on to the plans. Lord, that we will dream. Lord, that we will dream and have visions, dear God, and see the goodness of God. So Father, I pray that we will leave the barren land of history. And Lord, that we will stop looking at the barren land, dear God, the dry land of nothing, the wilderness of nothing. Lord, that we will get out of the wilderness of history. Lord, I pray that we won't hold ourselves in yesterday. Lord, that we won't hold ourselves in cultural drives and the way of the world and the way the world expects us to live. Lord, that we won't live in those barren, fruitless lands, but Lord, that we will get in the promised land and we will walk forward in the power of the Holy Spirit. We will walk forward in the power of the love of God. And Lord, I believe that you are a miracle worker. I believe that you are the great I am. Jehovah Jaire, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. Holy Spirit, we pray for Isaiah 41, verse 10. The Bible says, Do not fear, for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you. Should we take a leap of faith? Should we take a leap of faith and believe? As you sit on the sofa right now, you're sitting in your chair, in your front room, laying on your bed right now, having a cup of tea. Should we take a leap of faith in our mind? Call the things that are not as though they are. See yourself in a new job, speak the new job in. See yourself living somewhere else. See yourself doing something you've never done before, walking in a very different way. See, there is power in speech. And when you see it, when you start to see it and you start to call it in. The spiritual law of the word of God, and that is through the power of prayer. The Bible says we have not because we ask not. The Bible is so clear, it's such a powerful spiritual book. And Jesus is calling you to the promised land, he's calling you to freedom, he's calling you to healing, healing in the mind, healing in the physical, healing in the body, healing in your life, your heart, your heart has been bruised, your life has been torn apart. But Jesus is saying there's a new way, there's a new way. It's not church, it's not religion. He's saying, Come on, follow me, you'll find healing, you'll feel blessed, you'll you'll feel alert, you won't feel so tired and weary and exhausted. God is calling. Jesus is calling wherever you are right now. God is calling you to the promises, the promises of the word of God, the promises of healing, the promises of a new destiny, the promises of a new beginning. The Bible says, My blessings are new every morning. Holy Spirit, we pray that we will experience the blessing of the Lord. Because your blessings are new every morning. And Lord, we pray that you will strengthen us every morning. And Lord, I pray, Lord, that Isaiah 41 10 comes alive in our spirit. So do not fear, for I'm with you. I will strengthen you and help you. Father, we need divine. We need the divine right now. We need the love of God. The power of God, the mercy of God, the saving grace of God. Lord, we're living in lands, we're living in a land, Lord, that is tired and weary. We're living, dear God, in a land, Father God, that is that is just running dry. Spiritually, materially, financially. Lord, we're living in a land, Lord, that needs hope. So Lord, we pray for hope in the nations in which we live. We pray for hope, dear God. That hope will abound in the towns, the cities, the villages, wherever we live across this world. I pray for hope. And I pray, dear God, that we won't allow ourselves to get caught in the rhetoric of what the governments are saying. But Lord, that we'll listen to the word of God, that there is a plan over our lives, that there is a hope, there is a future, that Jesus Christ is our shepherd. There is security, there is comfort, there is guidance in the Lord Jesus Christ. And I pray, Father, for those that are anxious tonight, that are worried and scared, worried about history, worried about the present, worried about the future. The three points of humanity: history, present, and future. Lord, I pray. As the great book of Philippians 4 says, do not be anxious about anything. Do not be anxious about anything. Holy Spirit, I pray that we won't be anxious about anything. Lord, that we will leave the suitcase of history. Lord, that we'll walk away, dear God, from the past, from the hurts, the pains, the worries, the fears, the lack of the moments, dear God. And Lord, that we will make you our refuge and our strength. As the psalmist says in Psalms 46, verse 1, God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. I pray, dear God, for those that are worried about work tomorrow. Lord, those that are getting a little bit frustrated, those that are getting a bit panicky about school life, work, whatever's going to happen tomorrow. For those, dear God, that are starting a new life tomorrow, for those, dear God, that have got a new job on the horizon, for those, dear God, that are go to a new place of work of life. I'm just asking you, dear God, that you will remove the worry and the fear, the anxiety, the mental pressure, the emotional thoughts right now. Lord, that we won't over-engineer our lives, but Lord, that we will lean into the scripture, into the word of God. Lord, you tell us through the great book of Matthew 11, 28, come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Do you need rest tonight? Is work and life making you really tired? Are you really weary and exhausted? God is with you wherever you are. The Bible says, ask and it will be given. Let's ask tonight. Father, we pray for peace. Lord, we're asking for peace. We're looking for rest. We're looking for hope. And we believe that there is rest in our heart. We pray, dear God, for our bodies to be healed. We pray for minds to be healed. We pray for burdens to be taken away, Lord. We pray for fears to disappear, to melt like wax. And we pray for the Spirit of the Lord that will carry us from this night, Lord, right now on this Sunday evening at 9.43. Lord, that the love of God on this Sunday evening, the 12th of April, that we will feel the love of Jesus and the presence of the Holy Spirit. That you will stir our hearts and our minds, and we will come to the realization that Jesus Christ is our shepherd, that he is our security, he is our comfort, he is our guide. And Lord, that you are a very present help in trouble. And Lord, I pray that we won't be anxious about anything, but the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. So Lord, wherever we are at this moment across the world, I pray for your mercy and your grace. Your mercy and your grace. That favor, dear God, favor that's over our lives. Lord, we thank you that favor sits over us. Lord, we thank you that salvation sits over us. That your love sits over us. Your goodness sits over us. Anointing sits over us. Your word sits over and within us. Lord, we thank you that your word is freedom. What you say for the good book, you will know the truth and the Truth will set you free. We thank you for freedom right now. We thank you for freedom in the name of Jesus. Lord, and we we call the things that are not as though they are. Just as the Bible tells us, call the things that are not as though they are. So as you're sitting in your bed right now, sitting on your sofa, in the van, in the car, laying on your bed, having a cup of tea, whatever you are doing, let's call the things that are not as though they are. As you look at life, you look at society, and you look at every area of our lives, let's just say, Lord, I thank you. There's a new job on the horizon. Lord, I've not even applied for a new job, but Lord, I'm going to get a new job. Lord, I thank you that you're moving me out of this house into a better environment. Lord, I want to thank you, dear God, for a new house. I want to thank you for a new job in the name of Jesus. Lord, I'm not even been looking for a new house, but Lord, we need a new house. Lord, I'm not even looking for a new job because I don't want to know where to start, but Lord, I believe there's a new job, a new beginning coming, Lord. Lord, I thank you, Lord, that the children have got a new school. Lord, that we're going to be able to get the children out of these schools and put them into a new school. I thank you, dear God, that you're going to get us a new vehicle, Lord, because this vehicle is tired. Lord, I pray, Lord, for everyone that needs a new work vehicle or new van. Lord, that you will make a way where there seems to be no way. Lord, open doors of opportunities. Lord, help us where we need vehicles. Help us, dear God, where we've got to feed the children. Lord, I thank you, dear God, that wages are increasing in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Father, that you're able to stretch the money, the fish and the loaves, the loaves and the fishes. I thank you, Jesus. Lord, we hand over to you everything we got. Just like as the disciple came up to you, and he said, This is all we've got. It isn't enough to do what we gotta do. Holy Spirit, I pray that we will just be like the disciple that was bold and just said to Jesus, What we've got isn't enough. And Jesus just said, Hand it over. And he handed over the fish and the loaves to Jesus. And Jesus lifted them up and he just offered them up and he prayed over them. And then he gave them back to the disciple to distribute. He looked in the basket and it was the same figures. Nothing had changed. But it was the power of distribution. See, it's when we look at what we got and we say, Jesus, this is all I have. But I thank you that you're blessing all I've got. Lord, I thank you for this 10-pound note, Lord, this is all I've got in my purse. Lord, it's all I've got, dear God, on the card. And I've got to put it in the tank. And when I put this 10 pound in the tank, I thank you, Jesus, that I'm able to put 10 pound into this diesel, this petrol. But Lord, you're gonna you're just gonna go further. And Lord, just as you supernaturally fed over 5,000 men and women and children with just a handful of baskets of fish and loaves. Father, it's it's what happens when we live by faith. Increase. See, let's not rely on the government, let's not rely on the universal credit, let's not rely on the state pension, let's not rely on the hedge funders, let's not rely on something coming through the track later on. Let's rely on Jesus. You got your fish, you got your loaves in your hands right now, or in your mindset. Let's bring everything to Jesus and say, Lord, I've got to pay the mortgage, but I can see there's not enough. But Lord, I thank you that you're gonna make it happen. Lord, I gotta put tires on the van this week, Lord, and I don't know how it's gonna happen, but you're gonna make it happen. Lord, I gotta get new shoes for free kids this week, and I don't know how it's gonna happen, but you're gonna make it happen. Lord, I I gotta get to work, Lord, and this money I've got, Lord, is just not gonna work out. It doesn't equate. But Lord, I thank you, dear God, that you are the God of increase. You are the God of increase. And right now, Lord, with these loaves and these fishes, Lord, we need help practically in our lives. And we're calling the things that are not as though they are. And there is increase, supernatural increase. We thank you, Father, that the overdraft, dear God, is gonna be alright. We thank you, Lord, that the rent is gonna get paid, the mortgage is gonna get paid, the electric is going to get paid. We don't know how, but Lord, you're gonna do it. Because, Lord, we believe in the supernatural power of the Word of God. And Lord, I thank you, Father God, that the fuel that we got in our tanks right now, diesel or petrol, we're gonna get and do what we got to do. And I thank you, dear God, as homes are being warmed up right now. I thank you, dear God, that you're gonna lower the cost of the living expenditures that we got. Lord, I thank you right now that there's new trainers coming for the children. I thank you, dear God, that there's new school uniforms coming for the children. We want to thank you, dear God, that the children are being fed. That Lord, thank you that there's food in our cupboards. Lord, we're calling the things that are not as though they are. We thank you, Jesus, there's a new job. I thank you, Jesus, there's a new way of life. I thank you, Jesus, by faith. Lord, we call the things that are not as though they are. And we speak over our bodies right now. We speak healing, Lord God, right into our bodies. Lord, shoulders are being healed, necks are being healed. Every organ in our body is well in the name of Jesus. Because Lord, we're calling the things that are not as though they are, according to your word, and you tell us that your word cannot return void, that your word has to be, and it will accomplish everything that it's set out to do. So, Lord, we use your word, dear God, like an arrow, and we target, dear God. We pinpoint what's got to be done, and we say, Father, thank you for those new shoes. Thank you, dear God, for the new blazers that are coming. Thank you, Lord, that the children are getting fed. Thank you, Lord, that there's milk in the fridge. We thank you, dear God, there's frosties and cocoa pops in the cupboards in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord, we're able to make the children's sandwiches in the morning and get their lunches all sorted. Thank you, Father, that you're gonna get me into work and you're gonna get me home. I thank you, dear God, that we got new clothes coming. I thank you, dear God, that I can turn the electric on and not be worried. I thank you, Father, that I'm gonna turn the heating on tonight in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord, that we can have a hot bath in the name of Jesus. Lord, I thank you, Father, that that money that I've got in my pocket is gonna supernaturally stretch at the name of Jesus. And these loaves and these fish that I hand up to you right now, I'm gonna make it. Lord, I want to thank you, dear God, that there's a new home, there's a new school, there's new clothes coming, trainers, shoes, food, tires on the vehicle. I thank you, Jesus, that we're turning the electric on tonight and all is well. I thank you, Father God, that you're putting food on the table because you are a way maker and we're not relying on the shipping lanes, whether they're open or closed. We're not relying on these governments because these governments are liars. And Lord, these liars, dear God, are just causing confusion. And Lord, we want the truth, and you tell us you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. So, Lord, we're not gonna listen to the lies, to the stories. We're not gonna listen, dear God, to the political jargon. Lord, we're not gonna listen. We're not gonna allow ourselves to live by fear of the sound of war, of the lack of. Lord, we're not worried if the ships get held up because our God is gonna make a way. We're not worried about what the governments say because our God is gonna feed our children. Lord, we're not gonna worry, dear God, what's gonna happen to the interest rate because our God is gonna increase the loaves and the fish. We're not gonna worry, dear God, what's happening around the world because our God is gonna make a way. So, Father, I thank you that you are a way maker. You are the great I am, you are worthy of all praise. And the Spirit of the Lord is with each and every one of us. So, right now, Lord, we're not gonna worry about the loaves and the fish because there is multiplication in the kingdom of God. Lord, you're stretching everything in abundance. Lord, we we thank you, Lord, that there is abundance. We pray for abundance right now. Father, Lord, we're not worried about the oil that's stuck on those vessels, because our God is a God of abundance. Lord, I want to thank you right now that we're not worried about the food coming in, because our God will make a way where there seems to be no way. Father, we come to you right now, and this is the time when we really need you. Father God, this is the time, Lord, when we really need to live by faith and call the things that are not as though they are, because the Lord is our shepherd, we shall not be in want. So, Lord, we thank you right now for a new job. We thank you for healing, we thank you for clothes on the children's back. We thank you that the children are safe in their beds and they're warm tonight. We thank you, Father God, that the electric is on, the heating is on. We thank you, Lord, when we get ready for work tomorrow, we're able to make food for the children. You tell us just to concentrate on one day at a time. One day at a time. And not to keep looking forward, but just to focus on one thing, one day. So, Lord, help us to concentrate just on tomorrow and on this hour, this moment right now. Holy God, that you are Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi. Lord, let's remind ourselves, Jesus, of Jeremiah 29, 11. For I know the plans I have for you. God is not relying on Donald Trump opening up the shipping lanes. He's not relying on Keir Starmer, nor we actually. You know, God is not waiting for the politicians to do what they're gonna do, because God is a way maker. So those vessels can sit there as long as they like, it can happen and do what it wants to do. All the time I fix my eyes on what the world is doing, fear will be in my skin. But as soon as I say to myself, right, Lord, I'm not gonna listen to what's happening around the world right now, but Lord, I'm gonna read the word of God, and I'm gonna believe, Lord, that I'm gonna be strong and courageous. I believe that Joshua 1 9 is for us tonight, and I believe we're gonna be strong and courageous, and the God that created the heavens and earth is with us wherever we go. And Lord, not only are we gonna be strong and courageous, Lord, but we're gonna call the things that are not as though they are. And Lord, again, we say thank you for the food in the cupboard, thank you for the electric, thank you for the gas that's coming through. Thank you, Father, that our vehicles are gonna get us to work, to the school run, and more. We thank you, Father, dear God, that you will make a way where there is no way. Lord, we thank you for the great book of Jeremiah 29:11. For I know the plans I have for you, plans to give you a hope and a future. I thank you for the book of Romans 8 28. In all things, God works for the good of those who love Him. I love you, Jesus. I love you, Father, I love your Holy Spirit. So, Lord, we declare that we're Jesus' followers. And when you tell Jesus, Lord, I love you, I haven't been to church for a long time, Jesus, but I love you. He says, That's alright. Lord, I've not, dear God, been thinking about a lot of you lately, but he says, That's alright. He said, Because I bought you with a price. I know every era of your life. I know that you can't make it to church. I know that you're never gonna get those things right, but I love you. Because I sent my son to die on a cross for you. Unconditional love, no strings attached, no strings attached, freedom in Jesus. This week, as we look at this week unfolding, we're gonna come to the table in just a few moments. When we come to the table in just a few moments, should we pray that we will live a life of radical faith? Radical faith. But let's pray as we come to the table that we're gonna see healings and miracles and abundance. Let's call the things that are not as though they are over these next seven days until we gather next Sunday evening. Let's live a life of radical faith and just say, Yes, Lord. I thank you, Lord, that my car is gonna get me to work and home all week. I thank you, Father Lord, that I'm gonna be able to put tires on this vehicle in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord, that I'm gonna be able to replace the tools in my van. I thank you, Lord, that I'm able, Lord, to do a full shop this week in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Lord, that I'm gonna pay the electric and I'm gonna pay the gas. I thank you, Lord, that I can get my oyster card. I thank you, Jesus, that I can pay the children's bus fare this week. I thank you, Lord, that there is new clothes coming our way. I thank you, Father, that I open these cupboards up and whatever is in these cupboards, there is enough. I thank you for these loaves and these fish. Because, Lord, supernaturally, we're gonna get through. And Lord, I thank you that I don't need the government. I don't need the government to tell me. Lord, I thank you that you are breaking that control, that manipulation and control of those narcissistic leaders that are trying to scaremonger us, trying to control us, Jesus, by words and language, trying to get us frightened that we're gonna run out of petrol, that we're gonna run out of diesel. Lord, we're not gonna look at the price of the fuel, we're gonna look at the price of the cross. And I thank you that salvation is free. The kingdom of God is free. It was bought, it was paid for. There was a ransom, and his name was Jesus. One sacrifice once and for all. Should we live that life radically for Jesus? And I'm not talking about running around your town shouting out Jesus loves you. I'm telling about living by faith. Living a life that says, yes, Lord, today is a great day. Today, Lord, the sun is gonna shine in my life. Lord, I'm gonna smile today in the name of Jesus. I'm gonna live well today, Lord. I'm gonna find that joy. Lord, today is the day that fear goes at the name of Jesus. I'm not gonna live by fear, I'm not gonna live by control, manipulation, whether that's through government, whether that's through work, whether that's through culture or family or relationships. I'm not gonna live under a narcissistic roof. I'm not gonna live in a narcissistic situation. I'm free, Lord, in the name of Jesus. I'm gonna live a life in freedom. I'm gonna live a life of joy and hope. I'm gonna be strong and courageous. Just as Joshua was told. Joshua, you've got to be strong and courageous, son. God is telling us right now. Be strong and courageous. We're coming to the table. We're gonna get to the table right now, the Passover table. We're gonna break bread and we're gonna take it a cup. And Matthew 11, 28 is calling you. Jesus is calling you to live a life in abundance. See, there are promises. There are promises that we haven't even tapped into. There are promises in the word that the church hasn't even told us about. There are promises in the word that are just waiting for you and me to call them in, to call them down. The promises of God are yes and amen. The promises of God are abundance. God will make a way. Holy Spirit, Lord, as we come to the table right now, I pray as we break bread and we take a cup. Lord, I pray that we won't, dear God, look at the shipping lane. Dear God, that we won't listen to the political drive that's out there. But Lord, that we will listen to the word of God. All things are possible to those who believe. That's what the Bible says. All things are possible to those who believe. What are you believing for? What are you believing for right now? What are you believing for, Father? We are believing for miracles. We're believing for freedom. We're believing, dear God, there's a new life, there's a new rhythm, there's a new drumbeat. We are believing, Lord, that we're gonna live a radical life of faith. We're gonna live in abundance. We're gonna live in freedom. We're gonna live in healing. We're gonna live in the joy of the Lord. Even though there's a crisis breaking out around the world, we don't belong to the crisis, we don't belong to the shipping lanes, we don't belong to the governments, we belong to Jesus, and he's your provider, and he's saying, Trust me, trust me, there is abundance. But Lord, how do I get the abundance? You call it in. You call it in by the power of speech, by the power of prayer, and you pray over your cupboards tonight. Open them cupboards up, jump up off the sofa, run in and look at them cupboards and say, Father, I thank you that our cupboards are filled up with food. I thank you, dear God, as I look at that gas boiler right now. Lord, I'm gonna turn that gas boiler on in the name of faith. I thank you, Lord, that I'm gonna turn the lights on. I thank you, Lord, I'm gonna run a hot bath in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Jesus, Lord, I'm gonna start that car in the morning, and that car is gonna start. That car is gonna get me to work in the name of Jesus. I thank you, Father, Lord, I'm gonna get a new job. I thank you, Jesus, Lord, you're gonna get us out of this environment, and there is a new beginning. And Lord, we're not gonna be boxed in by the fear, we're gonna live by faith. And by faith, we come to the table, the Passover table, and we say, Yes, Lord, that sacrifice has been paid. One sacrifice once and for all. So, Father, we thank you for this bread that symbolizes the body of Christ. And as we break this bread together right now across the world, together as spiritual brothers and sisters, Lord, not as churchgoers anymore. Lord, we're not churchgoers, we're Bible-believing believers. Yes, Lord, we get to church whenever we can. But Lord, it's not about getting to church, it's about living by faith. The Bible says the just shall live by faith. Lord, I thank you that we're not living by sight. We can't trust the governments. You can't trust what they tell you. They're lying, it's fake, it's scaremongering, it's controlling, it's manipulation. And the Bible tells us very clearly what it is. It's witchcraft, it's manipulation and control. And Jesus is breaking us away from that. He's cutting the umbilical cord. We are not kin to what they say. We are grafted into the vine of abundance, the vine, and nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ. Jesus, there are promises in the Word of God that the preachers and the teachers haven't even told us about. The promises of God, a land flowing with milk and honey. When Joshua and Caleb sent the spies out, they had to go into the enemy territory. And within the enemy territory was abundance. In the enemy's territory, there is abundance. And God took them into the promised land, and that promised land was where the enemy was. And where the enemy was was abundant, abundant life. Right in the face of adversity, right in the face of the giants, right in the face of the warmongous. There is abundance in the land in which you live. There is abundance right outside your front door. There is abundance in the land. There is a promise for you. And that promise is overflowing. Holy Spirit, as we come to the breaking of bread and the taking of the cup, we thank you, Father, that this bread symbolizes the body of Christ. And the cup symbolizes the blood of Jesus. So as we break bread together right now, we thank you, Father, for this bread. We thank you for this cup that symbolizes the blood of Jesus, the redemption cup. So the Lord bless us as we take this now. In a great name, in the beautiful name of Jesus. Amen. There is abundance. There are rivers flowing in dry land. There is abundance flowing in the enemy's territory. There is abundance flowing right in the face of adversity. Joshua and Caleb. The spies were sent out. Very interesting. Some come back and they went, they brought a bad report. They brought a bad report. We can't go in there. The enemy's too big. We ain't gonna make it. Joshua and Caleb. Very interesting. Very, very interesting. What was said. Our God is able. Our God is able. Say that to yourself tonight. Our God is able. In the enemy's territory, in the land in which we live, in the face of the devil worshippers at number 10 Downing Street. There is abundant life. Whatever nation you live in, in those devils that are trying to lead your nation and trying to stifle your life, there is abundance. There is abundance waiting for you. There is abundance waiting for you right in the face of adversity. Abundant joy, abundant living, rivers flowing. They said there's a land flowing with milk and honey. There's a land called the Promised Land because it was promised. It was the promised land. But God didn't say you're going to live there on your own. When He took them and gave them the promised land, it was right in the face of adversity. See you don't look at the giants and you don't look at the warmongers. You look at what's been given. And you say, Lord, I'm living in the promise. I'm living in healing. I'm living in a nation that is flowing in abundance. I'm living in a place, Lord, that is abundant living. See, the governments don't want us to live in abundance. They want us to pay our taxes, to buy the pharmaceuticals, and to get trapped. That's what they want. They want to control us. They want to control your money, they want to control your life where you live, tracking every movement from your phone to your car, your satnavs tracking every journey we make. Cameras watching us all over the place. But right in the face of Sadiq Khan, right in the face of number 10 Downing Street, right in the face of these devil worshippers, there is abundance. There is abundance in the land that you are in right now. There are miracles in the land that you live in right now. So, Father, I pray as we pedal out of this prayer time, that we won't allow the giants of manipulation and control. We won't allow, dear God, the devil worshippers to control us. But Lord, that we will realize that there is abundant living. There is abundant living in the name of Jesus. And Lord, that we're going to live in abundance. And Lord, we're going to call the things that are not as though they are. So Lord, we thank you that this£10 is going to get me backwards and forwards to work. I thank you, Lord, that there's new tires on the van and the car. I thank you, Father God, that the rent and the mortgage is paid. I thank you, Father, that you're sorting out the universal credit. I thank you, Father, that there is uniform coming for the children. I thank you, Father, that I open these cupboards up right now. And Lord, there is food in these cupboards. Because, Lord, we're calling the things that are not as though they are. I want to thank you, Lord, that I'm getting out of this chair and my back's not aching. I want to thank you, dear God, that my body is working in the name of Jesus. I want to thank you, Lord, that there is abundant life. I'm healed, I'm blessed and highly favored. I'm wonderfully and fearfully made. And Lord, I thank you that my life is in your hands. Our lives are in your hands, not in the hands of the narcissistic governments, but our hands are in the hands of Christ. And our hands are locked with Christ. And nothing can separate us from the love of God. And God is with you. God is with you. But over the next few days, over the next seven days, let's live in faith. Let's not live by what we see, but let's believe. Let's step it up a gear. Let's be strong and courageous like Joshua. Let's be radical like Joshua and Caleb. Let's be so strong that we're not worried about what we hear on the news that we just laugh and just smile and go, do you know what? My God owns everything. He's the God of Israel. He's the God of the universe. He is the great I am. My God is feeding the children. My God is putting the electric into this house. My God is gonna surprise me this week with a miracle. Because I'm believing and I'm trusting and I'm living in the word of God. I'm not gonna live in church, I'm not gonna live in ministry, I'm not gonna live in social media, I'm not gonna follow the trends of the world. I'm gonna follow the King. I'm gonna follow Jesus. And the world can call me what they like, but I'm gonna live in abundance. I'm not gonna live by the worry of the fuel pump. I'm not gonna live by the worry of the shipping lanes, I'm not gonna live by the worry of the sound of war. I'm gonna live by the sound of hope and faith and power and the word of God. Because my God shall supply all my needs according to thy riches in glory. So wherever you are right now, as we pedal out of this prayer time, I pray that the Spirit of the Lord will carry you, that Jesus Christ will draw you to the cross, and you will feel the goodness of God. His mercies are new every morning. We've got about seven minutes left and we're out of here. Father, I thank you for everyone under the sound of my voice, and wherever they are right now, we pray that the love of God, the presence of God, and the glory of God will carry each and every one of us. Lord, we believe in miracles and we are gonna live in abundance. We are gonna live in freedom, we are gonna live in joy, we are gonna live in peace, and we are gonna live in hope. So, Lord, right now we lean into Proverbs 3. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and He will make your path straight. Father, right now, you are making those paths straight. Lord, as we live in the promises of God, we live in the promises of God, Holy Spirit. Bless everyone that's with us right now. In these closing moments, just close your eyes and just say, Jesus, I want to live in abundance. I want to live in faith. I don't want to live in fear, I don't want to live under the sound of these crazy politicians. I don't want to live under the sound of war. I want to live under the sound of the voice of God. And Lord, I want to pray through Proverbs 3. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways. Acknowledge him. Father, we acknowledge you. We acknowledge the name of Jesus, the great I am, and Lord, we're praying for strength, we're praying for hope, we're praying for peace, we're praying for abundant living. Lord, I thank you, Father God. The Israelites were fed in the famine. I thank you, dear God, that you made a way in the wilderness for the Israelites. And Lord, you are making a way for each and every one of us right now. Jesus is a way maker. He is the King of kings and the Lord of Lords. He is the great I am. We just got a few minutes to go. About four minutes. Let's just keep praying. Father, Lord, I want to live in the promise. I want to live in the abundant stream of God, the provision of heaven. Lord, I thank you that we are healed. Yes, Lord, we're calling the things that are not as though they are. And we're walking in healing. We're walking in miracles. We're walking in your power. We're walking in the goodness of God. Father, I thank you for every listener scattered across the world. That your love and your grace is over them. That your mercies are new every morning. That your blessings never fail us. Lord, on this Sunday evening at 20 past n. Oh dear, 20 past ten. Holy Spirit, Lord, where has this time gone, Jesus? Father, I just pray again and again and again that the love of God will just be over each and every one of us. That you will carry us, Lord. That your mercies are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. Father, bless those listeners that are still worried. Carry them, Lord, into a beautiful sleep tonight. We pray for those, dear God, on the other side of the world that are just getting up ready for work. Bless them now. We pray, dear God, for everyone that's under our time zone. Lord, that it's getting ready, Lord, that eyelids are tired, eyelids are flickering. Holy Spirit, I pray that your goodness and your mercy will flow. And tomorrow, Lord, we will see a change in our lives. We will see a significant change in our lives. That we will find security, comfort, hope, and peace. And the miracle working power of God is over our lives. Father, I thank you for everyone under the sound of this voice tonight. That we will be strong and courageous, that we will not be afraid. And Lord, as we pedal out of this prayer time together, wherever we are across the world, I thank you, Lord. All anxiety is gone, all fear is gone, all doubt is gone, and we are starting to live by faith. Help us, Lord, just to live one moment at a time. Help us, Lord, just to step out in faith. As the psalmist writes in 119, your word is a lamp unto our feet, a light for our path. He will make a way. He has made a way. He is the way, the truth, and the life. The psalmist writes in Psalms 46, verse 1. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Wherever you are at this hour, may the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit carry you. I will catch you in the week. Thank you for joining us tonight. Don't ever, ever, ever give up. Jesus Christ is with you. Come on, I'll see you tomorrow. God bless
