The FORGE Prayer Alert: 12th May 2012
The FORGE Prayer Alert: 12th May 2012
(France, Egypt, Iran, Venezuela, Korea : 12th May 2012)
Do not COMPROMISE but be TENACIOUS!
Ken Livingstone Failed
Thank You for your FASTING and PRAYERS for the London Mayoral Election on 3rd May. God has answered our prayers. Ken Livingstone didn't get the London Mayor's position. The voting rate was very low, about 38%, and London Muslims gave out leaflets to encourage people to vote for Ken Livingstone. Alongside this election, the UK local elections took place. The Conservative Party lost a huge number of seats whereas the Labour Party won. Ken Livingstone (40.30%) is the Labour Party and Boris Johnson (44.01%) who has been elected, is Conservative Party. Isn't it interesting?
1. Deep Darkness is Coming to France
"Arise, shine, for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord rises upon you. See, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness is over the peoples, but the Lord rises upon you and his glory appears over you." (Isaiah 60:1-2)
On 11th May, early morning I strongly felt that God wants us to pray for France. I sensed that God said, “The deep DARKNESS is coming to FRANCE but this is a great opportunity for the LIGHT to be shown to France.” French people might be suffering from the darkness but the light will be brighter than ever before.
The next day early morning, I clearly heard from God something about France; “NO COMPROMISE!” Life will be very hard and tough for French people, especially Christians, morally, economically, and spiritually. Some Christians might compromise to keep their comfortable standard of life. God, however, is saying, “NO COMPROMISE but BE TENACIOUS!” “Don't be enslaved to this world. I have already set you free from slavery.” “I want to use you as the LIGHT of this world. KEEP your heart PURE and your mind SIMPLE, and WALK faithfully with me even though you lose your reputation or position or even life.”
This morning God said, “Remember what I have done in France throughout history and what the enemy has done. Don't forget them! History repeats itself.”
2. Arab Spring or Arab Fall? (Egyptian Presidential Election)
"I will stir up Egyptian against Egyptian - brother will fight against brother, neighbour against neighbour, city against city, kingdom against kingdom. The Egyptians will lose heart, and I will bring their plans to nothing; they will consult the idols and the spirits of the dead, the mediums and the spiritists. I will hand the Egyptians over to the power of a cruel master, and a fierce king will rule over them," declares the Lord, the Lord Almighty. (Isaiah 19:2-4).
As we know the Egyptian Presidential Election will take place on 23rd - 24th May. God used the Persian king Cyrus to fulfil His purpose to release the Jews and to build His temple in Jerusalem. We should pray for this election because it is very closely related to the modern history of Israel, the Middle East and the rest of the world, to fulfil God's purposes in this generation.
As many of you know, there are 13 candidates but two of them are forerunners. Last week in a very popular Egyptian secular TV talk-show programme, they were talking about Isaiah's prophecy, Isaiah 19. Last Thursday two candidates had a TV debate, which has never happened in Egyptian history. Many people watched and listened from 7pm to the next day 1am.
I would like to call to fast and pray for this election. I sense that God wants to bring an Arab Spring and an Arab Fall, which means some Arabs will spring up and some Arabs will fall through this election. Also please pray for Christians in Egypt and abroad, the future of Egypt, and God's plan to be fulfilled for Egypt and for the whole region.
3. Crumbling Iran
I sense that God has been doing amazing things in Iran: many young people are coming to the Lord and he wants us to pray more so that he may crumble the current fanatic Islamic regime. I sense that the current regime has been digging their own grave.
4. Venezuela's Wall
A couple of weeks ago, 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.
5. 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. 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 am not sure, but one of the candidates is likely to be AHN Chul Soo.
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. Mr Ahn 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.
