In an article “Open Doors“, which is an International Christian organization which supports persecuted believers in various countries of the world, reports that there is such a lack of food in North Korea that parents die or leave their children because they can no longer bear to see their sons and daughters starve.

Heavenly Father, we pray for the people of North Korea, that are suffering because of the lack of food. We pray especially for those Christian brothers and sisters who though in a current crisis of need are standing strong in their faith.   Amen and Amen!

The scriptural reference for Today’s Prayer Alert is   Luke 15:13-19

And not many days after, the younger son gathered all together, journeyed to a far country, and there wasted his possessions with prodigal living. But when he had spent all, there arose a severe famine in that land, and he began to be in want. Then he went and joined himself to a citizen of that country, and he sent him into his fields to feed swine. And he would gladly have filled his stomach with the pods that the swine ate, and no one gave him anything. But when he came to himself, he said, 'How many of my father's hired servants have bread enough and to spare, and I perish with hunger!  I will arise and go to my father, and will say to him, Father, I have sinned against heaven and before you, and I am no longer worthy to be called your son. Make me like one of your hired servants.   Luke 15:13-19

Ladies and Gentlemen, there may come a time in your life that a great famine comes to our land. What if the leaders of our country refused to acknowledge God as the Sovereign Almighty Creator of Heaven and earth and every living thing in the sea and in the air. What if you were existing under the rule of a communist dictator and could not go to the local grocery store and beg for the spoiled food, because there was no food. Electricity was turned on for only three hours a day by the government.

We have God’s abundant Grace, because we believe that His Son – Christ Jesus is Lord of our lives.

We pray that the leaders of America will come to their senses, humble themselves before God and obey His commandments. There needs to be a Spiritual Awakening in America – everything that can be shaken, will be shaken (Hebrews 12:22-28)

For with God nothing will be impossible."  {It is impossible for God TO DO NOTHING!}

Who or what shall separate us from the love of Christ? Could any tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword?  As it is written: "For Your sake we are killed all day long;  We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter - Just processed through as one of many, stripped of all protection, throats cut and bleed to death (Psalm 44:22).

Yet in all these things we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us.

For I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor powers, nor things present nor things to come, nor height nor depth, nor any other created thing, shall be able to separate us from the love of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.    Romans 8:35-39

Amen and Amen!
