In North Korea - The War Effort

Men will be men. They do some great things and they make some great mistakes, on both sides of the "aisle" and on both sides of the ocean. Mere men with their politics and their wars is not what this ongoing struggle in North Korea is about. It's about the war for Korea in the heaven lies.

I cringe when I hear of the great plans people have for "going in to North Korea" when "the door opens." Friends, the door is open now. There's never been a door or wall that has kept the Gospel out totally. Never. Word gets in and the Word we send is a powerful Word that gets things done.

The cruel war is waging as we speak. The question is, what part of the "war effort" will you join? Very few of us (actually I must say "you", because I just missed it) remember the horrific days of World War II. We've seen the footage though, and we know that everyone in this country realized what was at stake, and got involved however they could. Women showed up at the factories. Churches prayed and gave. Clubs were formed. Oh so much more. The "war effort" was not just about the front lines, but total immersion.

Are you in the war effort for North Korea? Don't wait until the visible doors open. It may be too late then, because those who walk "by sight" will be entering then and could ruin things. Go now!

There's a song making the rounds these days that would be appropriate to close out today's comments.

"Watch and Pray."

Christian, do not seek repose.

Cast your dreams of ease away.

You are in the midst of foes,

Watch and pray, watch and pray.

Wicked forces, evil powers

Gathered in unseen array:

they wait for your unguarded hour,

Watch and pray, watch and pray.

Put your heavenly armor on.

Wear it always, night and day;

To defeat the Evil one,

Watch and pray, watch and pray.

Hear, above all, hear your Lord,

Love Him, serve Him, and obey:

Treasure in your heart His Word,

Watch and pray, watch and pray.

Watch as if on that alone

Hung the issue of the day.

Pray that victory shall be won,

Watch and pray, watch and pray.

AMEN!

http://chosunhouse.com is a website I put together a few months back to get the word out to believers that they need to pray for North Korea. Just about every day I'm writing a blog featuring some news, a book, or a story of North Korea. There's a live news feed on the site, lists of resources, picture essays, and ways to respond to the overwhelming need in North Korea. Let's love Chosun together!

And who am I? A man found of God over 50 years ago, called to the ministry, serving the Lord as needed in my world. Married, member of a local church in the Chicago area, with full time work in public education. Who are you? Would love to fellowship with believers who respond on my site.
