“He also told them this parable: 'Can the blind lead the blind? Will they not both fall into a pit?'” (Luke 6:39)
"Who are you, Lord?" Saul asked. "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting," he replied. "Now get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do." (Acts 9:5-6)

A couple of days ago, God prompted me to pray for London's Mayoral Election, especially one of the candidates, Ken Livingstone. I sense that Ken Livingstone doesn't know what he is doing and where he is leading others to. He is spiritually blinded by the spirit of Islam. Paul didn't know what he was doing. He thought he was pleasing God, but he was persecuting Jesus. Ken Livingstone needs our prayers and God's intervention like the apostle Paul. I would like us to pray for him to be found in the truth of God, so that he may be used by God mightily like Paul.

(From the Forge Newsletter in April) London mayoral candidate Ken Livingstone, who was the London mayor from 2000 to 2008, has vowed to make the capital city a ‘beacon of Islam’. In a speech on 16th March at the North London Central Mosque, also known as the Finsbury Park Mosque, the Labour candidate said that he was determined to “educate the mass of Londoners” about Islam. “I want to spend the next four years making sure that every non-muslim in London knows and understands [its] words and message. That will help to cement our city as a beacon that demonstrates the meaning of the words of the Prophet”, he said. (Ken Livingstone's speech video clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKNtZTUwrTc) Britain used to be a Christian missionary sending nation but now Islam is trying to make it their fortress. We have to stand like Mordecai and Esther.

2. North Korea: Islamic Connection

“My father laid on you a heavy yoke; I will make it even heavier. My father scourged you with whips; I will scourge you with scorpions.” (1Kings 12:11)

During the time of fasting, from 19^th March, I was stirred up to pray for North Korea while I was praying for Israel and the Middle East. I felt that God was speaking to me about Kim Jungil's son, Kim JungUn, through Solomon's son Rehoboam. I don't know for sure but he might act harshly to try and prove himself, like Rehoboam did. It means that he might be harsh not just towards his own people but to the rest of the world also. We need to pray that the mystery of God would come to North Korea rather than history of man repeating itself under the sun. (The things I wrote in the last news letter are happening now)

Thankfully their rocket launch failed on 13th April but I think they will pursue another attempt in order to restore his (or their) reputation. I sense that this spirit and the spirit of Islam are deeply connected to destroy the people of God and the Kingdom of God.

(I just found this information from Jerusalem Post: http://www.jpost.com/International/Article.aspx?id=266231)
The diplomatic source told South Korean news agency 'Yonhap' that the Iranians from the Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group (SHIG) arrived in North Korea a couple of weeks earlier, "undoubtedly there to observe the missile launch and receive test data," from the country. (Jerusalem Post said this was not confirmed, also South Korea did not confirm or deny the report.)

3. South Korean Presidential Election: Absalom's Deception

“Also, whenever anyone approached him to bow down before him, Absalom would reach out his hand, take hold of him and kiss him. Absalom behaved in this way toward all the Israelites who came to the king asking for justice, and so he stole the hearts of the people of Israel.” (2 Samuel 15:5-6)

This prayer might be relevant just for South Koreans but could you stand with them? The presidential election is taking place on 19th December 2012 in South Korea. I am not sure, but one of the candidates is likely to be AHN Chul Soo. This is out of the blue, I have to say that it is from the Lord. My intention is not to criticise a candidate but to encourage people to pray for the future of South Korea for the Kingdom of God. I sensed that Mr Ahn is like Absalom who was king David's son and stole peoples' heart to cause a revolt in David's kingdom. He has been stealing people's hearts. If Koreans are deceived by him and elect him, he will take South Korea away from God's purpose. I sense that he is not the right one from God for the country at this time. I am sharing this not from any political agenda but spiritual revelation. Mr Ahn himself might be a good man but what I sense is that the spirit of deception is working behind.

4. Pray for Venezuela's Wall

The same day I had these other prayers, God prompted me to pray for Venezuela. In my vision, I saw that a huge wall is rising to block Venezuelans going out to do God's work. I sense that this is to do with the president Hugo Chávez. He has been building this wall around the country and inside the country as well. Please pray for him and the country and the people, so that God's purpose and resources may be released for the Kingdom of God.

 
Shalom!
