Interceed

“Be faithful to pray as intercessors who are fully alert and giving thanks to God.”Colossians‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭TPT‬‬

I have just read a post about a Chinese man who had ministered to North Koreans for many years and was abducted by North Korea and jailed in North Korea for 11 years for crimes against the regime. He was lifted up in prayer for all that time. I pray God used him mightily in jail.

As a westerner I am continually convicted of the many who suffer for Christ and how small are my troubles. The beautiful souls who face such futures with boldness and faith remind me that this is what a Christian should be like. Laying down our lives for others is what we are called to do.

North Korea is a brutal place. Yet this bold man cared for the people. He took them into his home, clothed and fed them, taught them about God. For the grace he bestowed on the needy he paid 11 years in prison. However, I am sure God used this mighty man in that prison.

I was just contacted by a Muslim woman I ministered to whilst living in Tamworth. She wants to see me again next July. How beautiful! I can pray into that encounter!
