praise & pray for Jin (KOR)

English corner may be on break but the relationships formed don't ever go on holidays! :)
was set to meet Jin today but Father was pleased to change it to yesterday [many hours after meeting with Gang] again, what a beautiful privelege of sharing life & relationship with Jin - yet another beautiful piece of Divinely arranged orchestration :)
Jin was "once a believer" .. then turned to the world .. he'd like to get back into relationship with Father, but has doubts ... we prayed together & committed him to Father - The Father who waits for the prodigal to return .. :D


:D PRAISE! :D
:D the wonderful privelege of being able to point Jin away from religion & to relatonship!
:D His love is real!
:D He is a personal God who wants to relate to us not as fearful slaves but as beloved children & intimate friends!
*PRAY*
* cause this prodigal son in Jin to return to the Father, letting nothing hold him back from experiencing for Himself the awesome Affection of His unconditional Love!
* The Good Shepherd would find this precious lost soul in Jin & draw him into relationship with Himself! (Jin speaks the putrefying languge of religion - may Father graciously keep him from all such vanity & futility!
* The Lamb of God who was slain would receive the reward for His sufferings in every precious lost soul from the mission field He's brought here caught up in deception!
"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power. for You created everything, and it is for your pleasure they exist and were created - Revelation 4:11
* give Jin open eyes to see Jesus, The Lover of his soul & ears to hear Jesus calling him by name, drawing him to Himself & a heart to respond to His Word in faith to pass from death to life!
"I can guarantee this truth: Those who listen to what I say and believe in the one who sent me will have eternal life. They won't be judged because they have already passed from death to life." - Jesus John 5:24
* God in His mercy would not let these precious Korean waste their lives giving glory to anyone/anything else but save them so they might bring pleasure to Him!
* keep disillusioning those with religious illusions of who God really is that they might know Him forwho He really is!
* have mercy on Jin, send him back 'home' an eternally-changed soul, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!
* give us grace to embrace these 'foreign strangers' & lovingly show them the way to the Fathers' love, not wasting a moment in our selfish precoccupations & distractions but redeeming the time - Judgment Day is coming soon!
(yes, i too easily give in to selfish indifference to the fate of lost souls too :-(
