When we ask, He speaks: Korea's Destiny

When we were on our walk last week, we were asking God to speak to us what He thinks and feels about Korea and the people affected by the sex industry. He is so faithful to answer when we ask Him! How blessed are we that we can so intimately hear the voice of such a powerful and awesome God. I am humbled every time.

During the walk, as I was asking Him to speak to me, I heard Him so clearly in my spirit and I was deeply stirred.
He spoke to me that this nation is like a young child....a child who wants to eat only candy for dinner. This child thinks that candy is his greatest desire and thinks that eating it for dinner will be ok. But he doesn't realize that if he does eat it, it will make him sick and he will regret it.  Right now this nation is like a young, immature child who doesn't understand the consequences of her actions. Korea is "eating her candy for dinner" and is not yet aware that soon she will become sick and will regret her decision. Right now, sex and pleasure is her "candy" and she thinks that there will be no consequences to enjoying something that is so satisfying.

But He also said "But I still have a destiny for them! Pray them into their destiny!" A parent prays for their child to grow up to be a godly man or woman and asks God to give them all of His best. In this same way, God stirred in my spirit that we need to pray for Korea's destiny (and for each individual that is involved in the sex industry). We need to pray that she would "grow up" to be a righteous nation, to fear and love the Lord, to walk in the path that He has set for her.

We have a choice! We can watch as Korea and her people lead themselves into destruction, sickness and regret. Or we can pray that they would walk into the amazing destiny that God has for them. This is an hour in which we get to play a key role in the history of this nation.  I feel so strongly in my spirit that NOW is the time when history is being written, and we can let it continue on its current path, or we can change it. As intercessors and followers of Jesus, this is what we do! We cry out for the nations. We stand in the gap. We proclaim the truth. "PRAY THEM INTO THEIR DESTINY!"

Psalm 2: 8...Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession.

Let us continue to stand in the gap and cry out for mercy, justice and righteousness! Surely, in His goodness He will respond!
