Romans 8:28 — God Works in All Things: Perseverance for the Persecuted Church
“And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” — Romans 8:28
Recorded live here in London, England with Reverend Ben Cooper. Across the world right now, countless believers worship Jesus in silence, secrecy and danger. Romans 8:28 remains one of the most searched verses because persecuted believers cling to this truth when everything around them shakes.
From China to North Korea, from Eritrea to Somalia, from Afghanistan to India, the church under pressure stands with unbroken faith.
This is our Faith Under Fire prayer — part of the Ultra Ecosystem Arc — where courage becomes perseverance. When the world opposes them, Christ strengthens them. When darkness rises, God is still working for good.
Romans 8:28 was written to a church facing suffering, uncertainty and hostility — a mirror of what many believers face today. Yet Paul declares that God remains sovereign in every trial. Persecuted believers do not have freedom, safety or visibility — but they have Jesus. And Jesus is enough. The Holy Spirit strengthens them in prison cells, in house-church gatherings, in whispered midnight prayers. What the enemy meant for destruction, Faith under fire reveals the purity of devotion. Persecuted believers do not follow Jesus for comfort — they follow Him because He is truth, life and the only hope that cannot be taken away
God is working in all things, even when the battle feels relentless. We pray for China, North Korea, Somalia and India — nations where believers face oppression, imprisonment, intimidation and loss.
Lord, surround the underground church with Your protection. Strengthen pastors, house-church leaders and disciples meeting in secrecy.
Open prison doors, soften the hearts of officials and guard every family standing for Christ. Ask God to protect underground churches meeting in secret.
- Pray for prisoners of faith to be comforted and sustained.
- Ask the Holy Spirit to bring courage to families under pressure.
- Pray for Bibles to reach restricted nations.
- Ask God to break the chains of persecution and injustice.
- Pray for revival to rise from hidden places.
- Ask God to strengthen leaders facing threats.
- Pray for protection for new believers in hostile environments.
- Thank God that He works in all things for His good purpose.
Pause today and pray deliberately for a persecuted believer.
