“Whether
it be
easy or hard, Jesus sends
each Christian into the World.”

Korea, South Pyongan Province

The
Apostle from the dark side of North Korea said he walks daily
with a Holy and Righteous God looking to Heavenly things. The elderly
man spoke a scripture.
For
the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any
two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit,
and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and
intents of the heart.
And
there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked
and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account (Heb 4:12-13
NKJV).
The
Apostle explained, since the 1980's, some million people die of
hunger each year and the population is starving. But the government
does not care. It is dedicated to maintaining a military state with a
million man army. The tyrannical leader told his people, he said,
that even if the civilian population of 24,000,000 dies down to
30,000, he would still have a country to rule.
Starving
people turn to cannibalism. A mother eats her baby, he said. A
farmer raises a herd of goats or cows, only to find military trucks
pull up to his farm in the night and take his herd. He is forced to
hide a few animals in the mountains so he can start a new herd.
The
regime maintains its stronghold using the military. Young men
conscripted into the army are sent to terrorist training camps. The
people believe with fear each soldier is so trained in martial arts
that one warrior can rapidly kill a hundred men.
More
than 200,000 civilians are imprisoned in secret gulag-style
concentration camps where they undergo severe torture and forced,
accelerated starvation. When one offends, political prisoners,
religious prisoners, any so called enemies of the state are arrested
along with three to four generations of their families, men, women,
and children, the old and the young. All are imprisoned behind
electric fences for life and never seen again.
North
Korean citizens attempt to escape to Red China where they find little
comfort. Unauthorized, they are hunted down by both Chinese and North
Korean security. Tens of thousands of refugee women are placed in
cruel brothels, abused, beaten, and forced to prostitution. Men are
forced to work on Chinese collective farms with no pay. Both are in
constant fear of capture, starvation, and disease, They are forced to
hide and to hunt for food. If they are taken back to North Korea,
they face execution or imprisonment in the camps.
By
these severe hardships, the Apostle explained, the emotions of
the North Korean citizens are dried and hardened. They go through
life trusting no one, starving, enslaved by fear, and unable to
express but little feeling. Only the gospel of Jesus with the Spirit
and Truth revives the dead soul as these victims read or hear the
Bible and are set free. Joy returns to their faces, he said.
The
Apostle, himself, has suffered severe persecution, torture, and time
in prisons. He has seen men and women come to Christ, and several
martyred. It is treason subject to death in North Korea to possess or
read a Bible. The tyrannical leaders claim divine aura for
themselves and want no challenge from any other gods. The purpose of
the military is to maintain the suppression of the population.
But
God is working in North Korea. Not only are disciples giving
their lives, Jesus the Son of God is seen ministering in visions and
miracles. With no access to hospitals or medical care, disciples
perform divine healings and miracles. One vision to pray for, showed
Jesus the King of Kings ministering to the Korean War Lords one by
one.
“Whether
it be easy or hard, Jesus sends each Christian into the world,” the
Apostle advised.
“God
calls us,” he said. “Go, bring the dead people back to me.”
Will you earnestly pray for the North Korean people?

Now
therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Serve
the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss
the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath
is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in
Him (Psalm 2: 10-12 NKJV).
