Escaping North Korea

Good Morning


As I was looking/seeking/wondering which country we are to hone in on this week, I kept coming back to Korea.
I kept thinking of what it would be like if I was raising a family in North Korea today. And then I thought about the stark contrast between North and South Korea.

There are people who sneak across the border from N. Korea into China. If caught in China they will be returned to N. Korea where they are almost always tortured and then forgotten about in prison, or they are killed.
In order to be safe, they have to make their way from the Chinese/N. Korean border all the way to the SW part of China [Yunnan Province]. That is like traveling from Maine to LA. They travel by train or bus or any way they can and hope they don't get caught. They then must cross into Laos or Myanmar [Burma] and then cross into Thailand, where they can finally feel relatively safe. Most then eventually end up in South Korea.
Oh, and even if they do make it to safety, usually, family members left behind in N. Korea. are severely punished.

Meanwhile, in S. Korea, most of the people flourish, the Christian community continues to impact the world as the S. Koreans send out missionaries around the world. They have many working in China.

So, please continue to pray for North Korea and pray for the unity of the Koreas and that God will make it a great Christian nation to be used for His honor and glory.

Sorry this is so long. The main thing it to PRAY FOR KOREA.

All praise to His Holy Name

A Little Wisdom From Will Rogers

Will Rogers, who died in a 1935 plane crash with his best friend, Wylie Post, was probably the greatest political sage this country ever has known.

Enjoy the following:

1. Never slap a man who's chewing tobacco.

2. Never kick a cow chip on a hot day.

3.. There are two theories to arguing with a woman . . Neither works.

4. Never miss a good chance to shut up.

5. Always drink upstream from the herd.

6. If you find yourself in a hole, stop digging.

7. The quickest way to double your money is to fold it and put it back into your pocket.

8. There are three kinds of men: The ones that learn by reading. The few who learn by observation. The rest of them have to pee on the electric fence and find out for themselves.

9. Good judgment comes from experience, and a lot of that comes from bad judgment.

10. If you're riding' ahead of the herd, take a look back every now and then to make sure it's still there.

11. Lettin' the cat outta the bag is a whole lot easier'n puttin' it back.

12. After eating an entire bull, a mountain lion felt so good he started roaring. He kept it up until a hunter came along and shot him. The moral: When you're full of bull, keep your mouth shut.

I trust and believe that there is, at the very minimum, a beginning of God's glory rising over Haiti as we have asked our Heavenly Father to drive back the enemy there. May the glory of the Living Lord shine on Haiti.

This week we will be praying for an equally difficult nation. Might as well get the hard ones on the mend first.
Please join with me in expecting a miraculous move of God in North Korea. There is change afoot in North Korea as Kim Jong-il recently let the world in on who he has chosen to succeed him - his third son [Kim Jong-un]

Pyongyang, the North Korean capitol, was once the New Jerusalem of Asia, prior to the communist takeover. Billy Graham's wife, Ruth Bell Graham, attended boarding school in Pyongyang while her parents served as missionaries in China. I do believe God has great plans for Korea - if the people of God will humble themselves and pray.

Believe for God to move mightily in North Korea this week.

They run on the cities, they run on the walls, great is the army that carries out His Word

World Changers

We are believing for our Heavenly Father to do a mighty work in Haiti this week.
This is another country that has been in the news a lot recently; and now even more bad news, as there is a cholera outbreak there that has already killed hundreds.

Haiti is truly a country steeped in darkness. We must pray against the liar - for his grip to come off of that land and for the bright, healing light of Jesus to move across Haiti. It will truly be a battle in the heavenlies for this country.
Pray for the power of the mighty God to free the people of Haiti from the clutches of the liar.

Great is our God

Power up prayers for CHILE


As we finish out the week of lifting up Chile before the Lord -

lets power it up some and ask for unity of the body of Christ there

Also, ask that the priests and pastors totally give themselves over to the Lord Jesus and the filling of His Holy Spirit that they may lead others into paths of Righteousness; that Chile might truly be a land where Jesus is exalted.

Let's finish strong in interceding for this country.

God bless Chile.

Pray for Chile

Chile has been all over the news recently as 33 miners were successfully rescued.
Just a few months back Chile was in the news again as an earthquake measuring 8.8 on the richter scale devastated the country in early March.

The history of Chile has also been one of turmoil, but in recent years there has been enough stability there so that people are immigrating to this long narrow country in S. America.

http://www.christianpost.com/article/20101015/miners-clad-in-jesus-shirts-give-glory-to-god/


Pray for President Sebastian Pinera and others in leadership in Chile. Pray for the followers of Jesus to stay strong and walk in the light of His love that others may see and know the God who loves them so.

Rejoice

The following is the conclusion of a story carried in the Daily Mail - a London newspaper.

No matter how much human folly and wickedness attempts to disprove it, clinging to the belief that we are part of one human family allows us all to dwell in Camp Hope.

That is surely what gives this astonishing, moving story its resonance.

A deep religious faith powered this rescue; miners and families and rescuers alike believe their prayers were answered.

One of the miners said: ‘I was with God and the Devil. They fought. God won.’

Pray that God will now use this to move mightily across this country.

We are called to pray.
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray ......


The world is a mess, has been a mess and will remain a mess until Jesus changes the hearts of the people

God is moving mightily in China, yet there are still over 1 billion people who walk in darkness in this land. That is 1 followed by 000000000. That is 1,000,000,000 more people than live in the US

So much of the world suffers under crippling poverty, looking to false gods to somehow bail them out.
Jesus said I have come that you might have life and have it more abundantly. I am the way, the truth and the life

Without Jesus, there is no life. With Jesus, there is not only life everlasting, but there is the joyful, abundant overflowing life, rigth here right now.

Many people in other countries pray for America [http://www.charismamag.com/index.php/news/29393] Let’s return the favor.


The Church of the Living God has been engaged in missions since Jesus said, ‘Go make disciples, teach’. The Church has become even more engaged in reaching the lost for the past 2 centuries. Yet, the world stumbles on in darkness, suffering under demonic influence and looking for answers.

This past week I really felt impressed that the body of Christ should believe in faith with a clear focus on praying, trusting, believing for God to move on one country as we spend one week in prayer.

I ask only two things of you

Send this and following messages about the specified country to other friends/family and get your prayer groups and pastors involved in this.
Faithfully pray for the designated country. Pray during your quiet time. As your small group gathers pray for the country. Make it a point of prayer for your church family. Lift up the particular nation during the day for a whole week.

If we truly believe in the power of prayer, then we can make a difference

Please join in on this as we exalt Jesus before the nations.

I don’t need a reply Just pass this along and get others involved. I’ll send out the nation for this week tomorrow.

Thank you for changing the world though your prayers.


Praying changes people
