[Anonymous]

Please pray that God would deliver those being tortured to death around the world.

 

[Articles]

We lift up our hearts in anguish and intercession for our brothers and sisters around the world who are enduring unimaginable suffering, those being tortured to death for their faith in Jesus Christ. The cruelty inflicted upon them is a stark reminder of the reality of spiritual warfare, where the enemy seeks to destroy what God has called precious. Yet we know that even in their darkest hour, the Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalm 34:18).

Father, we cry out to You on behalf of those who are being persecuted for Your name’s sake. We ask that You would strengthen them with supernatural courage and peace, reminding them that their suffering is not in vain. Let them feel Your presence in a tangible way, even as their bodies endure pain. We pray for their deliverance, whether by Your miraculous intervention, the softening of their captors’ hearts, or the swift justice of Your hand. If it is Your will, bring them home to glory where there is no more pain, no more tears, and no more death (Revelation 21:4).

We also pray for the families of those who are suffering, grant them comfort, provision, and the assurance that their loved ones are held securely in Your hands. May their faith remain unshaken, even in the face of such loss.

Lord, we rebuke the forces of darkness that seek to extinguish the light of Your gospel through violence and oppression. We declare that no weapon formed against Your people shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17), and that the blood of the martyrs is the seed of the Church. Raise up bold witnesses in these nations, that even through persecution, Your name would be glorified and many would come to know You.

We ask all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the One who conquered death and hell, and who alone has the power to break every chain. May Your will be done, and may Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.

We ache with you over this request. The sheer scale of evil in the world, people being tortured, even to death, for their faith or simply because cruelty exists, can feel too heavy to hold. Bringing it before God together is one of the deepest things we can do, even when we have no other way to help. He sees every hidden place, hears every cry, and is not indifferent to a single one.

If you want to give your prayer hands and feet, one concrete step is to stay informed through a reliable persecution watchdog ministry that tracks these situations and lets you pray specifically for regions or individuals as news emerges. Naming the country or the pattern before God often anchors our intercession in something steadier than general horror.

We can also remember that the early church prayed for believers facing torture and death with a startling honesty, not pretending it wasn't happening, but asking God to stretch out His hand in whatever way His purposes required. We do the same now.

Lord Jesus, we lift before You every man, woman, and child being tortured to death across the world at this very moment. You know each face, each name, each location. We ask You to step into those rooms and hidden places, break chains, confuse evil plans, bring sudden deliverances, and when death comes, carry Your beloved straight into Your presence with peace that crowns their final breath. Give supernatural endurance and a tangible sense that they are not alone. We pray for their persecutors, too, that they would be stopped, that their hearts would be shattered by conviction, and that many would encounter the living Christ. Comfort those who survive, restore their minds and bodies, and raise up helpers near them. In Jesus' name.

The cry of the tortured goes up before the throne of the Most High, piercing the heavens with agony, yet it is not unheard. The Lord who delivered Israel from the house of bondage, who shut the lions' mouths for Daniel, who walked with the three in the fiery furnace, He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. His arm is not shortened that it cannot save, nor His ear heavy that it cannot hear. When the ruthless foe drags the saints to the place of slaughter, when the rack and the flame seem to triumph, we are not to despair as those who have no hope. For what saith the Scripture? "Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive be delivered?" Yea, verily, and with an emphasis that shakes the gates of hell! Our Redeemer is strong; the Lord of hosts is His name. He has given commandment to deliver them from going down to the pit, for He has found a ransom.

Think not that these dear ones who suffer for the testimony of Jesus are forgotten. Even now, the Man of Sorrows stands with them in the furnace, and the Son of God walks with them through the valley of the shadow of death. They are not delivered from all affliction this side the grave; nay, the Church from her very youth has been afflicted. Many a time have the wicked afflicted her, from the days of Herod to the stakes of Smithfield and the dungeons of Piedmont. Yet the gates of hell have not prevailed, nor shall they. The Lord bringeth down to the grave and bringeth up again. He permits the rod to fall, but it is from a Father's hand, chastening, not destroying. Even when the tyrant's sword seems to sever the thread of life, we hear the whisper, "I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord." For the death of the saints is precious in His sight; it is not the penalty of sin but a sweet falling asleep upon the bosom of the Beloved.

Let us then wrestle in prayer, not with doubtful hearts but with the full assurance of faith. Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and plead the precious blood of the covenant. It is no vain thing to bow the knee for those who are bound. The King's own Son has borne the penalty of all their iniquities; by His stripes they are healed. He has delivered them from the power of darkness and translated them into His kingdom. And if it be His will that they should seal their testimony with their blood, yet still they are delivered, delivered from the fear of death, delivered from the second death, delivered into the very presence of the Lord. For them to live is Christ, and to die is gain.

Pray therefore, O Church of the living God, and faint not. Let no man say the arm of the oppressor is too long or the bondage too iron. The prey shall be taken from the mighty, and the lawful captive delivered. Christ shall see of the travail of His soul and be satisfied. And these afflictions, light and momentary as they are in the balance of eternity, are working for them a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory. The rougher the road, the sweeter the rest. The greater the suffering, the brighter the crown at the last.

[Chrysostom]

You ask that God would deliver those tortured to death, and surely we ought to pour out prayers for them with fervent charity. Yet hear what the Spirit reveals: not always does deliverance from death prove the greater mercy. For He permits the faithful to die, granting them a thing far mightier than rescue, the power to despise death itself. Remember those of old who were tortured and would not accept release, looking beyond this brief life to obtain a better resurrection. When it lay within their grasp to live, why did they refuse? Because they fixed their hope not on this age but on the life that truly is life.

Do not think, then, that God abandons His own when He allows torments to come. We are being conformed to the death of Christ, our Lord. As Paul bore in his body the dying of Jesus, so these dear sufferers enter into the very fellowship of His sufferings. This is no small dignity: they become, in this way, images of Christ Himself. And if we take our stand with them in faith, we too share their affliction, for when one member suffers, all the members suffer with it.

We should tremble more at the thought of a conscience stung with remorse than at any rack or flame, for the wounds of the soul are far worse. The passions that rage within, anger, envy, unclean desire, these are genuine tortures from which we should seek deliverance. Yet the martyrs, though their flesh be torn, possess a soul invincible through long-suffering, a fortress no enemy can breach. A patient spirit quenches every fiery dart.

Let us therefore pray not only for their bodily release, but chiefly that they may obtain that crown laid up for those who endure. Let us entreat God to make them steadfast, to fill them with such faith that they count shame as glory, knowing the power of His resurrection. And let us examine ourselves: does our faith dare to follow where they tread? If we believe that Christ is raised, then we must not shrink from the road that leads to Him. The same grace that carried them through the valley of death shall work in all who trust not in themselves but in God who raises the dead.

Keep these truths ever before your eyes. When you hear of their torments, grieve as one bound with them, yet rejoice that they are counted worthy to suffer for the Name. The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared to the glory that shall be revealed. Though they pass through the fire, it shall not consume them, but only burn away the dross, and they shall come forth as gold tried in the furnace.
