"We're expecting a big move of the Holy Spirit during the World Cup"​

Christians in Qatar are inviting the global church to join with them in praying for a move of the Holy Spirit during the World Cup, which begins on Sunday (20 November).​ The country is number 18 on the World Watch List. Although foreign Christians can worship in relative freedom, Qatari Christians are forbidden from having their own churches or even entering a church. Converts can also face extreme pressure from their family and community.​ Despite these challenges, the church in Qatar is growing – and there is the expectation that it will continue to do so during the World Cup.​ “We’re expecting a big move of the Holy Spirit during the World Cup,” says a church leader for expats and migrant workers. “We already see the move of the Holy Spirit in Qatar. God is visiting people in their dreams. God is doing miracles. God is doing healings among the Qatari people.”​

Watch video Please pray​ That the Holy Spirit will move mightily among people in Qatar during the World Cup That all fear felt by Christians will vanish and that believers will express their faith with boldness and expectation That the World Cup will lead to greater religious freedom for Qataris. Qatar is one of seven countries participating in the World Cup that are on the World Watch List. You can pray for Christians at risk of perecution in these countries using our World Cup prayer diary and wall chart. They can be downloaded for free here. Cameroon: "I need God with me in every situation" (WWL #44)​ The Boko Haram insurgency in Cameroon has forced Fadi* from village to village. In 2015, her sister was kidnapped. Two weeks later, her mother died from hypertension. The shock of her daughter’s disappearance – and having seen many neighbours killed by Boko Haram – was too much to bear. “I need God with me in every situation, to display His wonderful power in my life,” says Fadi, who has found great solace in the prayers and practical help of Open Doors supporters like you. “Holy Spirit, do it again, do it again in my life. Open my eyes to see Jesus, do it again in my life.” What’s it like to be a Christian in Cameroon? Tajkistan: Pastor recovers from three-year prison ordeal (WWL #45)​ Pastor Bahrom was arrested and imprisoned for three years on false accusations of 'singing extremist songs in church and so inciting religious hatred'. His church congregation decreased massively, from about 500 people to around 100, because of the pressure facing members. Thankfully, Pastor Bahrom has recovered physically from his time in prison, and his family are doing well. He is still under surveillance from the secret service, and considered an ‘extremist’, but he is attending church and enjoying fellowship with local believers. What’s it like to be a Christian in Tajikistan? A prayer for Cameroon and Tajikistan Heavenly Father, thank You that Fadi and Pastor Bahrom are doing well following their difficult experiences. For those in Cameroon and Tajikistan struggling following similar incidents, we pray that you will heal, comfort and restore them. Strengthen, encourage and protect our family in the face of persecution, and use their witness to draw others to You. Stifle the threat of extremism in Cameroon and may the authorities in Tajikistan see Christians not as a threat but a valuable part of society. Amen. *Name changed for security reasons With many thanks for your prayers,

Praying with and for you in Jesus.

We can do everything Jesus did and more! We can speak; sickness leave in Jesus! Be healed by Jesus stripes! I am healed by Jesus stripes! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

You can copy and paste this to pray every day and share...

There is nothing that happens for us that is bad. All things work for our good in Jesus! Look at everything as good!

Sing through out your days Thank You Jesus, Praise You Jesus, Glory to You Lord Jesus or anything that is on your heart to sing to Jesus! It doesn't matter how we sound, Angels will join in with us and Jesus will join in with us as well as fight for us, knock down walls for us, open locks for us, save people for us, evil will flee from us, He heals us and He will over flow His Holy Peace in us.

Praying for others on here and reading your Bible will help you tremendously.

I wanted to commit suicide once, I even came up with a plan. Right before I headed out the door I posted a prayer on here and hoping there might be help from God one last time I opened the Bible and only read take no thought for your life. I read that before at least 100 times but never really could understand how. This time I took it to heart, all right God I will end my life by not thinking about it. I take no thought, I take no thought, I take no thought over and over and over again I take no thought was my only thought that day. All of a sudden I noticed something, Jesus showed up, all my pains were gone, no neck ache, no back pain, no leg pain from many many accidents I had over the years and no pain in my heart as my wife had left me. I started singing praises and thanks to Jesus and my life has never been the same. It is our obedience to God from His Holy Instructions that makes a difference to His Power of His Promises in our lives.

Be a doer of Jesus friend, it really makes a difference! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Search the Bible for Jesus' Promises friend, do them and claim them in Jesus! Amen! Thank You Lord Jesus!

Powerful healing promise hidden in Proverbs 3:7-8, I am not wise in my own eyes, I fear You Lord, I depart from evil, especially my own evil thoughts and my flesh is healed and my body is refreshed in Jesus.

Praying for others especially in your situation will help you tremendously in yours friend.

Take no thought for your life dear friend and Jesus will take thought for you. Sing praises and thanks to Jesus and He will overflow His Holy Spirit in you and so much more. He will fight for you and give you the desires of your heart.

Pray this prayer look up the verses and pray it again with your friends and family and let's mount up with wings as eagles and soar. Soar with me.

Let Us Pray: God I ask in Jesus' name, bless me to grow closer to You. I long for a more intimate relationship with You. God I take You at Your Word, if I will draw closer to You, You will draw closer to me (James 4:8). Show me how to draw closer to You. Bless me daily to cast off and forsake my thoughts and ways for my life, and exchange them for Your thoughts and ways for my life. Let me think Your thoughts and dream Your dreams for my life. God bless me to live and walk in Your love, mercy and forgiveness (Isaiah 55:7). I confess, I will take no thought for my life. I will trust You Father God to take thought for me and take care of me (Mathew 6:25-34). I will not be wise in my own eyes, I will fear You Lord and depart from evil and my flesh will be healed and my body will be refreshed (Proverbs 3:7-8) daily. Thank You Jesus for Your Promises! Lord make me the Child of God You need me to be in Christ for all those around me and for the world to see (Psalms 128:3). Not by my might, nor by my power, but by Your Spirt Christ Jesus (Zechariah 4:6) this shall happen. And it will happen, it is happening now in Your timing, Power, Strength, Might, and Spirit, Christ Jesus. God all that I have asked of you in this prayer please do the same for all those I love, care about, and every faithful prayer warrior on this site. Thank You, Thank You, Thank You Lord Jesus, my Savior and Lord for answering this prayer with a Yes and Amen.

Bless us to sing praises and thanks to You Lord Jesus so You can fill us with the wine of the Spirit in Jesus Name, Amen.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
