Christian Straight Talk Real Faith, Real Scripture, Real Conversations
Christian Straight Talk is a bold, authentic, and uncompromising Christian podcast where Reverend Ben Cooper and Simon Pinchbeck speak openly about faith, life, culture, and the reality of following Jesus Christ in today’s world.
In a society filled with noise, pressure, fear, distraction, and competing voices, this podcast cuts through the confusion with honest conversation, biblical truth, and practical Christian living. Christian Straight Talk is not about performance, religion, or pretending to have life perfectly together. It is about real people, real struggles, real faith, and the transforming power of Jesus Christ.
Every episode is grounded firmly in Scripture and shaped by genuine conversation. Through biblical teaching, testimony, prayer, Scripture reading, and honest reflection, Ben and Simon tackle the issues many Christians think about but often struggle to talk about openly. Topics include identity, courage, mental health, anxiety, spiritual warfare, prayer, leadership, purpose, temptation, relationships, discipleship, culture, and what it truly means to stand firm as a Christian in modern Britain.
Alongside the core Christian Straight Talk discussions, the podcast now also includes Sunday Morning Services, Scripture readings, and Sunday Night Prayer gatherings, creating a complete weekly journey of biblical teaching, worship, encouragement, and prayer.
The Sunday Morning Service episodes feature powerful Bible teaching, Sunday service messages, Scripture reading, worship reflection, and practical preaching designed to strengthen faith and help listeners build their lives firmly on the Word of God. These services bring church, teaching, and encouragement directly into people’s homes, cars, workplaces, and daily lives.
The Sunday Night Prayer episodes create a calm and powerful space for prayer, reflection, healing, peace, and spiritual renewal before the week ahead. Through Scripture, prayer, and encouragement, these episodes speak into anxiety, fear, mental health struggles, financial pressure, exhaustion, relationships, and the real-life challenges people carry every day.
Reverend Ben Cooper brings decades of ministry experience as an ordained ELIM minister, chaplain, broadcaster, author, and founder of Global Blend Radio and RB Christian Radio. His ministry combines pastoral care, strong biblical teaching, and a passion for reaching people with the truth of the Gospel in a real and relatable way. Alongside him, Simon Pinchbeck brings honesty, transparency, practical wisdom, and the voice of everyday Christian men navigating life, faith, pressure, and purpose.
Together they create conversations that are challenging, encouraging, raw, compassionate, and deeply rooted in the Bible. Expect powerful discussions, real testimony, Scripture-based teaching, heartfelt prayer, honest questions, and practical encouragement designed to strengthen your walk with Christ and deepen your understanding of God’s Word.
Whether you are a lifelong believer, returning to faith, searching for answers, or exploring Christianity for the first time, Christian Straight Talk invites you to listen, reflect, pray, learn, and grow.
This is more than a podcast.
It is a place for honest Christian conversation, biblical truth, Sunday worship, Scripture, prayer, spiritual growth, and real discipleship.
Real faith. Real conversations. Real Scripture. Real prayer. Real brotherhood. Real Christianity.

Monday can feel like a tidal wave before it even arrives. Tonight we slow everything down and pray with the kind of courage that does not come from forcing a brave face, but from hearing God’s words clearly: “Be strong and courageous… for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go” (Joshua 1:9). If you are tired, wired, anxious, or simply carrying too much, you are not here by chance.
We lean into Scripture that speaks directly to the mind and the body: Philippians 4 when worry is loud, Isaiah 41:10 when fear starts writing the story, and the steadiness of Psalm 23 and Psalm 46 when life feels like a valley. We pray for mental health, for peace that settles the racing thoughts, and for the strength to walk into work, school, and home with faith rather than panic.
We also talk about calling and identity, especially if your vision has been crushed by life or by people who should have protected it. Jeremiah 29:11 becomes a declaration of hope and future, and the image of standing at the River Jordan reminds us that God still makes a way. Then we share a simple moment of communion that you can join from anywhere because you do not need a building to meet Jesus.
If this prayer helps, subscribe to Daily Prayer with Reverend Ben Cooper, share it with someone who needs courage tonight, and leave a review so more people can find these prayers.

Good evening and God bless you wherever you are across the world tonight. Thank you for joining us at this time. And it is what is the time? It is 11 minutes past nine on this Sunday evening. Thank you for joining us, whatever platform you're listening to. We're going to spend 45 minutes or so. We're going to jump into prayer right now. May the Spirit of the Lord be with you. Thank you for joining us on dailyprayer.uk. My name is Reverend Ben Cooper, and the Spirit of the Lord is over each and every one of us. Thank you to everybody that connects with us during the course of the week. You can capture us on Spotify, Apple, Google, all the major podcast platforms as we push five prayers out a day. But let's just jump straight in. We're going to go straight to the great book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9. Wherever you are, we welcome you to the house of the Lord. And the Lord is with you wherever you are. Don't ever give up. There is power in the name of Jesus Christ. But let's just pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before you. And Lord, we pray for the Spirit of the Lord. Lord, wherever we are across this earth, Lord, we believe in miracles. Lord, we believe in the power of the Word of God. We believe that your glory, your presence, your love, your grace is over all of our lives. Spirit of the living God, I pray that we walk through, we stand on the great book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9. Lord, you tell us to be strong and courageous and wherever we are across this world, Father, whether we're connecting through radio, social media, Lord, or whatever way we are listening to the sound of my voice, Lord, live on camera as well, Father, we pray as we see the cross in the backdrop. Lord, we just pray for an outpouring of your spirit over our lives in our heart and our mind and our body and our soul. But Lord, as you commanded Joshua, Lord, I believe that you're telling each and every one of us tonight, Lord, to be strong and courageous. So Lord, we help us, Lord, on this Sunday evening. Lord, as we are being prepared for a brand new week wherever we are across this world, help us to be strong and help us to be courageous. But Lord, we thank you that you are with us wherever we go, that you never leave us nor forsake us. But Lord, we stretch out now. Lord, we stretch out in the name of Jesus and we say, Lord, help us to be strong. Help us to be courageous. Help us to seek the Father's heart. Lord, on this Sunday evening, Lord, we're seeking the Father's heart. Lord, we're looking to you right now. And we come to you, Lord, with our hearts and we stretch right out in the name of Jesus. And we call on the greatest name in heaven and earth. And Lord, I pray that every one of us will be strong. Every one of us, dear God, will find courage in our spirit. But Lord, that we will rise on wings as of eagles. That the Spirit of the Lord will lift us wherever we are. Lord, I just pray, Lord, that panic and fear will go. Doubt will go, worry will go. Lord, I just pray that your love and your grace will be over each and every one of us. Lord, wherever we are at this hour. Lord, we thank you that the love of God is over our heart, our mind, our body, and our soul. And Lord, we believe in miracles. Lord, we believe in miracles. Lord, we thank you that the fire of God, the anointing of God, and the presence of Jesus Christ is with us wherever we are connecting across the world. Lord, I pray that you will help us to be strong, you'll help us to be courageous. Lord, that we will stand up, Lord, and we will just lean into the gospel of hope. Lord, we believe in the power of your word. And Lord, wherever we are right now, Lord, we thank you that your grace and your favor is resting over every one of us, Lord, live on camera, live on radio right now, live on the social platforms. Lord, we stretch out, Lord, and we call on the greatest name in heaven and earth. And we call on the name of Jesus. There is no other name but the name of Jesus. He is the great I am. He is Jehovah Jairah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. He is worthy of all praise. And wherever you are right now, I believe God is calling each and every one of us. Do you believe in miracles? Do you believe in the power of the Holy Spirit? God is in your heart. Wherever you are scattered, whatever nation you're living in right now, whatever time zone you are across the world, the love of God is over your life, the Spirit of the Lord is with you. And as God told Joshua to be strong and courageous, I believe those words are echoing down the corridor of our heart tonight. He said to Joshua, Be strong and courageous, for the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go. Father, we thank you that we are not orphans, that we are grafted into the vine, and nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. Lord, and as we come to you, Lord, at this hour, Lord, wherever we are scattered across the world, Lord, we thank you for your power, your anointing, your grace, your favor, Lord, is over our lives. And Holy Spirit, I ask you right now that the love of Jesus will just settle over us. Lord, that you'll bring peace. You will bring hope, that your glory, Lord, will transcend all understanding. Father, Lord, as we connect around the world on the socials. Lord, as we connect, dear God, on RB Christian radio across the world. Lord, as we connect, dear God, on every platform. Father, we thank you that your hand is with us. And Lord, that you are commanding us to be strong and courageous. Lord, we don't want to listen to the political cry. Lord, we're not going to listen to the war cry. We're going to listen to the God of David who fights our unseen battles. And Lord, remind us right now that the battle belongs to the Lord and all things are possible to those who believe. I believe that the Spirit of the Lord is with you. I believe God is in your life like never before. I believe that the love of Jesus Christ is healing you right now, whatever your time zone is, whatever your situation is, wherever you are, God is calling you. The Holy Spirit is calling you right now. You know you're not here by chance. You're not just here because you're scrolling through the social media and through the networks. You're here because God has a plan for your life. And that plan is yes and amen. He is the first and he is the last. He is Jehovah Jairah, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Shalom. There is a plan for you. There is a hope. There is a future. There is a destiny. And the King of kings and the Lord of Lords is calling you. There is power in the name of Jesus. But Lord, help us to be strong. Lord, will you help us to be strong tonight? Lord, will you carry us wherever we are across this world? Holy Spirit, just carry us, Lord. We pray that the Spirit of the Lord will lift us right now. Lord, help us to be strong, to be courageous, and to go into the promised land. Lord, we want to get into the promises of God. Lord, we want to get into the promised land. But Lord, sometimes our mind, Lord, we're surrounded, dear God, by certain things in life. We're surrounded by the rhythm of the world. And Lord, we don't want to capture the rhythm of the world. Lord, we want to be walking in the power of the Holy Spirit. We want to be walking by faith. And Lord, we ask you, Lord, that you'll remove all anxieties or fears or doubts. And Lord, that we will walk by faith and we will walk in
the presence of the Holy Spirit. So Lord, as we gather for prayer across the world, Lord, as we lean into the powerful word of God, Lord, you tell us through the great book of Philippians 4, the Bible says, do not be anxious about anything. Father, I pray that you help us not to be anxious, not to be scared, not to be worrying about any circumstances of life. Lord, that we won't lean into the fabric of the world. We won't lean into number 10 Downing Street. Lord, we won't lean it into the systems of the world, but Lord, that we will walk with Jesus Christ. Lord, you tell us, don't be anxious. Do not be anxious, I believe God is telling us tonight. Do not be anxious. Do not be afraid. The Spirit of the Lord is over your life. Do not be anxious about anything, but with everything through prayer and partition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. And He will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Father, we pray for mental health tonight. We pray right now, Lord, that the Spirit of the Lord will carry our thoughts. We pray, dear God, as our mind, Father God, starts to tick. Lord, I pray for the chaos, dear God. I pray for the fears and the doubts. Lord, just remind us, as you told Joshua, as you go into the promised land, as you're going into the land that is flowing with milk and honey, as you're going into a land with giants and pomegranates. Father, in the name of Jesus, help us to be strong and courageous. Lord, I believe that we are taking back every area, every territory that the devil tried to steal. And Lord, we're going to go back, Lord, and we're going to grab back and we're going to take back every area of territory in the name of Jesus. Because, Lord, we are blessed and highly favored. We are wonderfully and fearfully made. And right now, Lord, wherever we are, we thank you that you are commanding us to be strong and courageous, and no weapon forged against us shall prosper. Lord, we pray, dear God, for sickness, for disease, for fear, for lack, for the worry, Lord, for the anxious thoughts, the ins and the outs, the seasons of life. Lord, whatever season we are in tonight, Lord, whatever season we are going through, Lord, whether it's the winter, the spring, the summer, or the autumn, we pray, dear God, that we will find strength. Lord, that we will walk on paths of righteousness. Lord, that we'll find a place to rest tonight. Lord, we're tired and we're weary. And Lord, you command us to be strong and courageous. And Lord, sometimes it is so difficult, Lord, to be strong and courageous. Sometimes, Lord, it is hard work. Sometimes, Lord, it feels like the world is just coming against us. But Lord, I thank you that you are our refuge. You are our strength. Holy Spirit, I pray that you'll strengthen every heart that's with me tonight. Lord, on camera, on radio. Lord, as we crisscross the world together, as we stretch out in the name of Jesus, Lord, we believe in miracles. Lord, we believe in the power of the word of God. And right now, wherever we are, we pray that the love of God, the power of God, the anointing of God, Lord, we just ask you that you'll help us to be strong and courageous. Lord, that we will hold on to the word of hope. And Lord, we thank you that the presence of the Lord is with us wherever we are, Lord, at this hour. The Spirit of the Lord is with you. I believe that Jesus Christ is calling you. I believe Jesus is calling you. He's calling you by name. There is a purpose, there is a plan for your life, and God is calling you. He's not rejecting us, he's not pushing us away. He's calling you by name. He loves you. Jesus Christ loves you. He's calling you right now. He is your refuge. He is your strength. An ever-present help in trouble, according to the prayers of David, Psalm 46, verse 1. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Lord, for every one of us, Lord, that is going through valleys, for every one of us that is going through fears, for every one of us, Lord, that is going through certain situations of life, we pray that we will find strength and courage. Lord, I pray, Lord, that you'll get us across the River Jordan. Lord, as we stand on the banks of the River Jordan, Lord, we know that you're going to make a way where there is no way. Because the battle belongs to the Lord. And tonight, Lord, we're going to be strong. We're going to be courageous. And Lord, we're not going to be anxious about anything. But in everything, in every situation, through trials, tribulations, fears, and doubts. Lord, we thank you that the power of God, the anointing of God, the love of Jesus Christ is over our lives. And Lord, wherever we are, we pray that the fire of God will just rain. Lord, let your love just rain down on us, Lord. Father, we need you in our heart. We need you in our mind. We need you in our spirit. Lord, will you carry us tonight? Lord, will you carry us tonight, Lord, wherever we are. We pray for breakthrough. We pray for spiritual breakthrough. Lord, we pray for physical breakthrough. Lord, we believe that your closing doors of the past and your opening doors of the future. Lord, and our lives belong to you. But Lord, will you help us not to be scared, to be fearful? But Lord, we call on the God, the God of David who fights our battles, the God of Israel. Holy Spirit, we call on your name now. Holy God, great King that you are, Lord, we call on that name. And Father, we thank you that there is power in the name of Jesus, Lord, and I ask you that we will find our identity. Lord, that we will find our identity in you, Lord. Lord, if we've lost ourselves. Holy Spirit, I pray if we've lost ourselves, tonight will be the night of breakthrough. Tonight will be the night, dear God, we find who we are. That we are blessed and highly favored. We are wonderfully and fearfully made. And Lord, that we will find us. We will find us at the footstool of Jesus. We will find ourselves, Lord, in your presence. And Lord, as we look at that cross on the backdrop there, Lord, as we see those candles just gently burning away there, Holy Spirit, Lord, we call on the greatest name in heaven and earth, and we call on the name of Jesus. And Lord, we need you to carry us. Lord, we need the anointing. We need your power, your grace, and your favor. So Lord, wherever we are across this world, we pray, dear God, that your love, your grace will just descend over our lives. And for anyone, Lord, that is feeling very panicky, very scared, very uncertain about life, Lord, we stretch out to Jesus. And Lord, the prayer is simple tonight. Holy Spirit, help. Holy Spirit, lead us. Holy Spirit, help us not to be anxious. Holy Spirit, help us, dear God, to walk in your promises. Lord, to walk in the favor, to walk in your goodness. Holy Spirit, help us, Father, just to rest in your arms. And wherever we are situated across the world, whatever we are going through, whatever we are experiencing, Lord, we thank you that grace and favor is over our lives. And no weapon forged against us is never going to prosper, Lord. Because we're grafted into the vine. And you are our refuge and strength. An ever-present help in trouble. Help us tonight, Lord. Help us as we go through the valley of the shadow of death. Help us, Lord, as we prepare for tomorrow, Monday morning. As more Monday is about to rise, Lord, I pray, dear God, that you will give us the strength, Lord, the courage to be strong at work, at school, at home, wherever we are. Lord, that you will give us courage in the name of Jesus Christ. That we will rise on wings as of eagles. That your presence and your mercy and your grace will just descend over each and every one of us. Father, we thank you that there is favor over our lives. And Lord, wherever we are across this world, I believe that you're calling us to be strong and courageous. I believe, dear God, you're saying, don't be anxious. Trust me. I believe, God, that you're calling us by name. I believe your presence is around every one of us. And whatever the part of the world we're in, whatever the part of society we're wrapped up in, whatever is going on, Lord, we thank you, Lord, that we're learning to walk by faith. That we're learning to walk by faith. Holy Spirit, will you carry us? Dear God, as we come to you, Lord, we believe in miracles. We believe in healing. We believe in the power of God. And as we stretch out across this world, Father, wherever we are, whatever the time zone is across this world tonight, Lord, I pray that you will carry us, Lord, that your love and your grace will just descend over each and every one of us. But help us to be, just like Joshua was commanded, to be strong and courageous, and to realize that wherever we go, our God is with us. That nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, that we are grafted into the vine. And Lord, as we move forward by faith, Lord, we're not going to go in anxious thoughts, we're not going to go in a panic, and we're not going to go in fear. We're going to go by faith tonight. And Lord, as we move forward by faith, Lord, we thank you that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. And Lord, will you remind us through the great book of Isaiah 41, verse 10? So do not fear, for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you. Father, I thank you that you command us. Do not fear. Trust me. So Lord, help us to walk by faith. Help us to walk by the power of the divinity, by the glory, by the anointing. So Lord, as we pray through Isaiah 41, verse 10, the Bible says, So do not fear, for I am with you. Lord, you're with us. You're with us in every area of life. And Lord, you tell us that you will strengthen us and help us. I pray, dear God, that we will soar on wings as of eagles. Lord, I pray, dear God, that we will fly high tonight, above the cloud line of fear, above doubt, above watery, above stresses and fears. Lord, I pray that the Spirit of the Lord will lift us wherever we are, that we will soar on wings as of eagles. And all things are possible to those who believe. Lord, I believe in miracles. I believe that you are the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last. I believe that there is power in the greatest name in heaven and earth. And Lord, there's no other name but the name of Jesus. And Lord, we do pray for mental health. We do pray, dear God, for the battlefield of the mind, the thought patterns, the fears, the doubts, everything that just settles in our cognitive processing. Lord, that you'll sweep through our minds, Lord, that you'll sweep through each and every one of us, that your spirit and your power will carry us wherever we are. So, Lord, I pray that wherever we are listening to the sound of my voice, that the glory of God and the anointing of God and the grace of God, the favor of God, the miracle working power of Jesus will just carry us tonight and remind us that you are our shepherd, you are our King,
you are our God. And as we walk through the prayers of David, Psalm 23, the Lord is your shepherd. Father, we thank you that the Lord is our shepherd, we shall not be in want. Lord, that you're refreshing our soul, Lord that you're strengthening us through the valley of the shadow of death, Lord that we're fear no evil, for you are with us, your rod and your staff, they comfort us. Holy Spirit, as we walk through the trials, as we go through the fiery furnaces of life, Lord, just like Meshach, Shamrach, and Abendigo, as the king looked over the top, and he said, Who's the fourth person in the fire? It's Jesus. Jesus is walking with you tonight. The Holy Spirit is in your house. The fire of God is over your life, but the power of God is with you. There is favor over your life. The Spirit of the Lord is calling you. Yes, we might be walking through fiery furnaces, but the Spirit of the Lord is with you. We might feel like Daniel tonight that's in the lion's den. And there are lions all around. And we're saying, please, God, close the mouth of these lions. I just focus on the name of Jesus. I come before you, Lord. And Lord, I rest through Hebrews 12. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and the perfecter of your faith. Lord, help us to keep our eyes on Jesus. Jehovah, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Rapha, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Spirit of the Living God, I pray that we will keep our eyes on Jesus. Keep our eyes on you, Lord. Father, as we walk, dear God, through the valleys. Lord, as we climb the mountains of life, Father, we are not going to be anxious anymore. Lord, we're not going to be in doubt, Lord. Lord, we're not going to allow fear to dictate to us. Lord, we're not going to lean into the crowd. Lord, we're not going to follow the crowd of life. Lord, we're going to stand up and be that individual for Jesus Christ. Lord, we're not going to lean into the monotony. Lord, we're not going to bounce on the trampoline with the crowd. Lord, we want to rise on wings as of eagles. So Lord, I pray for all those, dear God, that have got a vision and a dream in their spirit. Lord, that they will live by that vision and dream, that they will rise tonight. Lord, I pray, dear God, for those that have been crushed by pastors and leaders, by the system of church, those, dear God, that have filled that they've had their dreams stifled, their vision stifled because of religion and the church. I pray, dear God, that they will soar tonight. Lord, that you will reignite that vision and that dream in that spirit. Lord, and you will let us know that all things are possible to those who believe. And Lord, we're going to walk in our destiny. Lord, we're going to walk in the righteousness of God. Lord, we're going to walk in the holiness of the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And Father, we're going to rise tonight. Lord, we're going to live that dream. Lord, we're going to live in the plan of God. And nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. Lord, no weapon forged against us shall prosper. Lord, I thank you, Father, that we're going to live in our destiny. Lord, that all things are possible to those who believe. Father, I thank you, Lord, that we haven't got to go by education. We haven't got to go by notoriety. Lord, I thank you that we're just going to rise in our faith right now. And Lord, reignite that dream. Reignite that vision. Holy Spirit, bring it back, Lord. Lord, where the world tried to crush it. Lord, where society tried to push it down. Where church tried to stop it, we thank you. Lord, it's coming back. Because Lord, we're taking back everything that the devil has stolen. And we're going to live in freedom. We're going to live in that dream. We're going to live in that destiny. Lord, we got destiny steps before each and every one of us, Lord. And Father, we thank you that no weapon forged, no situation, no fear, no doubt. Lord, we're not going to allow society and culture to hold us back. Lord, we're going to rise on that wings right now of eagles. We're going to soar above the cloud line. And Lord, you are the God of all hope. You are the King of kings and the Lord of Lords. You are the God of David who fights our unseen battles. Lord, and there is a purpose, there is a plan.
And I believe Jeremiah 29.11 is over your life. I believe that God is calling you to a greater future. I believe that there is anointing on your life. I believe Jesus is calling you by name. And Jeremiah 29.11 is for you and for me right now. Because God says, For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to give you a hope. And plans to give you a future. You got a hope. You've got a future. There are promises waiting for you right now. You might be standing right on the shoreline and on the banks of the River Jordan. You might be waiting to cross that river, and the river of life is at full flood stage. And we're looking at the river of life, and we're saying, Lord, I can't cross this. I ain't gonna do this on my own. Lord, it's impossible. But we serve a God that calls the things that are not as though they are. And God is about to reign miracles over your life. There is healing, there is blessing, there is power, there is anointing, there is destiny steps in the name of Jesus. The Spirit of the Lord is with you as you stand on the shoreline on the banks of the River Jordan, just looking at the debris at full flood stage. God is with you tonight. God is a God of miracles. He said, Let there be light, and there was. There is favor over your life, there is power over your life, there is anointing over your life. The Spirit of the Lord is with you. Don't ever give up. Don't ever give up. Don't ever give up. There is favor. Favor is over your life. Take back everything that the enemy tried to steal. Take back everything and call on the name of Jesus. Call on the greatest name in heaven and earth. Because at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow on the earth, under the earth, every tongue confessed that Jesus Christ is Lord. Tell your world around you, you're rising tonight. Tell your culture, your family, your friends, I'm coming back in the name of Jesus. I'm rising. Because no weapon forged is going to stop me. Because Jesus Christ has called me and there are destiny steps before me tonight. And Lord, I want to thank you, Lord, that you are our shepherd. And Lord, you're refreshing hearts tonight. Lord, you're bringing visions back, dreams back. Holy Spirit, I thank you. For Romans 8:28, in all things, God works for the good of those who love Him. God loves you, and you are grafted into the vine. There is healing. There is anointing. There is a fresh awakening in your spirit. And you know what I love about Jesus. He doesn't require us to go to church. He said to those that he called, those two that he called on the shoreline of Galilee, drop your nets, come and follow me. Let's be Jesus' followers. Let's follow Jesus Christ. Come, Holy Spirit. I pray that Matthew 11, 28 will come alive in our spirit. Jesus is saying, Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. There is rest in the arms of Jesus. There is rest in the greatest book the world has ever seen. It's called The Word of God. The Word is calling you. There is a plan for your life. There is a hope. There is a future. Jeremiah 29, 11 is for you and for me tonight. Holy Spirit, I pray, Lord, that we will rise on wings tonight. As of eagles, Lord, I pray, Lord, that we will walk in destiny steps, that the Spirit of the Lord will lead us to new pastures, new beginnings. Lord, as we stand on the riverbank of the river Jordan, Lord, we see debris, we see everything just coming down the river of life. But Lord, we believe in the power of God. And right now, the Spirit of the Lord is making a way. I thank you, Lord, that you are a way maker. I thank you, Lord, that you are Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom, Jehovah Nisi. I thank you, Father, that you are Jehovah Rapha, the Lion of Judah. So tonight, Lord, let us hear the roar of the Lion of Judah echoing down our hearts, down the corridor of our lives. Spirit of the Living God, carry us tonight. Bring us to a place of rest. Bring us to a place of hope. Father, we come before you and we say, Spirit of the Living God, open our heart. Help us to trust in the Father. Help us to trust you more, Lord. Because Lord, this world is very chaotic, very fragile. And Lord, we want to trust in you more, Lord. Father, we don't want to go by emotions and feelings and sensual perception. We don't want to go by smell, touch, see, and sight and hearing. Lord, we want to go by faith. Lord, we don't want to go by our education. We want to go by faith because, Lord, all these areas have a limiter. But Lord, there are no limits in faith. There are no limits, dear God. All things are possible to those who believe. And Father, you have started a good work in us. And the power of God is over our lives. And we pray, Lord, as we stretch out, stretch over and stretch into the Word tonight. Wherever we are connecting across the world, we pray that the love of God and the Spirit of the Lord will carry us. Brothers
and sisters, wherever you are, we're going to break bread in just a few moments. And I invite you to grab a bit of bread, a bit of uh fruit shoot, a bit of grape juice, whatever it may be. We're going to spend a couple of minutes and we're just going to break bread together. You know, it is simple. We've just got a bit of bread, a bit of wafer here, and also we've just got a cup, just a simple little cup. And we're going to take this together in just a few moments. Maybe you ain't been able to get a church for a while. Hallelujah. You don't need to get to church, you've got to get to Jesus. Because as Jesus was on the shoreline of Galilee, he said, Drop your nets, come and follow me. Let's be a Jesus follower. Let's follow the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Let's break bread together. Come on, let's break bread now. Father, in the name of Jesus, we take this bread and we realize that this is just bread in itself. But Lord, as we hold this bread, we take this bread right now. Lord, we thank you that your body was broken for each and every one of us. And as we take this bread, Lord, we stretch out. And the prayer is simple now, Lord. Help us. The prayer is simple. Come, Jesus, come. Lord, the prayer is simple. Father, reveal yourself. So Lord, we thank you that this bread symbolizes the body of Christ. And Lord, thank you that we're not in church, but we're in the kingdom. Lord, I thank you that we're in the kingdom and we're not in religion and we are not in church, but Lord, we are in the kingdom of God. In the presence of Jehovah. In the presence of the King of Glory. Grab yourself a bit of bread. You haven't got to be in church. You haven't got to be in that religious setting. You can be at home sitting on the edge of your bed, in your van, in your car, sitting in a field. You can be anywhere. Because the Lord is everywhere. The Lord is omnipresent. He is omnipotent. And let's break this bread. Father, I recognize that this bread is just bread by itself. But what it symbolizes is the body of Christ. And Father, we thank you that your body was broken for each and every one of us. And Lord, at this hour, on this Sunday night, at 9.41, on the 5th of July 2026. Lord, we come to you and we say thank you, Jesus. Thank you for your promises. Thank you for your word. Thank you for your presence. And right now, Lord, we just recognize and we pause and we say, Lord, we're taking this bread. Bless this bread in the name of Jesus. Amen. Thank you, Jesus. On the same night he was betrayed, he took the cup and he said, This cup is a new covenant. Father, we thank you that this cup, Lord, is symbolic of the blood of Jesus. And as we hold this cup right now, Lord, Father, we thank you that this cup is just grape juice, it's just wine or whatever it may be. But Lord, it symbolizes the blood of the Lamb. And Father, will you cleanse us? And yes, you have cleansed us. But Lord, we do this publicly, loud and clear. Father, I recognize that this is the cup of redemption. And Lord, cleanse us from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet. In the greatest name, in the name of Jesus. Amen. Jesus loves you. Wherever you are, God loves you. The Father is in your life. There is a plan for you. And Jesus is calling you. The Holy Spirit is calling you. The Father is calling you right now. Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Do you need rest tonight? Do you need peace tonight? The Spirit of the Lord is calling you by name. Jesus loves you. There are miracles over your life. There are promises over your life. And the goodness of God is with you wherever you are. Don't ever give up. We've just got a couple of minutes left.
And we're going to jump straight back into sub prayer. Come on, Father, in the name of Jesus. Lord, as these couple of minutes just to go, Lord, I pray tonight that you'll strengthen us from the crown of our head. Lord, I pray for all those that just feel that they're hitting a burnout situation. All those that feel exhausted, all those that need a spiritual rest. I pray for peace over their hearts. I pray that the love of God will just carry them. And your glory will come, Lord. And your anointing, Lord, will be over each and every one of us. Come, Holy Spirit. Lord, carry us at this hour. Lord, refresh hearts, refresh minds, Lord. Carry every one of us in the name of Jesus. Wherever we are, Lord, let your glory, let your mercy, let your favor just rest over our hearts, Lord. Father, we thank you that there is power. There is power in the name of Jesus, and we carry a name. And God loves you. And whatever your time zone is at this hour, don't ever give up. Don't ever give up. Let the Spirit of the Lord just be in your heart tonight. Let the glory be with you wherever you are. Just remind yourself that I am a child of the living God. And I belong to Jesus. And he has called you. He's calling you by name. He's calling you into the kingdom. And he loves you. Let's just take a moment. Let's just take a moment to be still. To gather our breath. To focus on the name of Jesus. God loves you, you know. You are grafted into the vine. And nothing can separate you from that love of God. He's carrying your heart. He's wiping your tears. He's got you. Everything's going to be alright. Everything is going to be alright. Let's just gather our breath just before we pedal out of this prayer together. This time as we've gathered around the word, as we've broken bread, and we've just stretched out. Nothing can separate you from the love of God. You're going to sleep well tonight. You're going to rest well tonight. Tomorrow is a new day. A brand new sunrise. Hold on to your vision. Hold on to your dream. No one can crush it. No one can take it from you. Because God dropped it in your spirit. Holy God. As we come to a close now, Lord, I pray for everyone that's with me. That you will bless them at 21.46 on Sunday, the 5th of July. That they will know that this is the hour, this is the moment when everything changed. Lord, I pray that the Spirit of the Lord will touch everybody across the world. And Lord, that they will find peace and hope in the name of Jesus. Don't ever give up. God is with you. And we thank you for joining us. Thank you for staying with us on these Sunday evenings.
