A few weeks back, on one of our walks, we saw 4 young men. They looked university-age. They went window to window, asking for the prices and bargaining to get the best deal. 1 boy immediately stood out to me. He was wearing a striped polo shirt. He looked so much like a follower. It seemed to be his first time in a RLD. He seemed nervous, curious, and submissive to the other 3 boys. There was a system of hierarchy: the dongseng and the hyungs. As they went from window to window, we were praying for rejection. We asked for rejection from the women and for frustration...that they would give up and leave the RLD. Seeing their persistence was heart-breaking. Little did they know how much the enemy was laughing and how the much the Father was weeping.
As we continued to pray, God led us to pray over specific needs. What stood out to me was Rejection. Rejection from their earthly fathers. They are father-less. They've been abandoned, neglected, unloved.
In the end, the striped-shirt boy went into the room while the 3 others were waiting outside for him. We prayed for a deep dissatisfaction.
It was obvious that the boy was craving something. Whether it'd be craving for the exhiliration of trying something new, something more "manly". Or craving acceptance from the "hyungs." Or a fleshly craving.
I wish I could tell him, "Drink the water that Jesus gives. You will never be thirsty forever. Your Heavenly Father is inviting you...you aren't rejected. O how He loves you..."
