Piercing Light

The below article was taken from www.heart4japan.blogspot.com, April25, 07

As I was praying for Japan last night, I saw a strong light pierced across the coastal area, forcing its way through Kyushu, traveling its way up to Shikoku and the west.

If I remember correctly, the light started to force in at the coastal line of Nagasaki and Fukuoka, through Kumamoto. This is the line where Makoto and team met difficulties. If that is it, then the opposition is clearly the resistant against the light. The land is in thirst. The light that breaks in will sweep across the land, and take deep root within.

Push on! Press in! The uproar of the East Sea is fierce, but then we have Jesus on our ship!

Pray for the LIGHT to shine on the Land of Kyushu! Land that was once fertiled, land that was once gave up all it had for what they believed, land that suffered the longest persecution for Christ.

She is waking up!

Kyushu and Gospel

真的報告讓我不自禁地聯想１７世紀和１８世紀日本的封國時期和對基督徒的逼迫。這的确是奇怪的事，福音船停泊日本的港灣不是第一次，然而當當地的机構和較有影響力的團體一旦知曉這艘船有宗教背景就不願意和船上的活動有任何瓜箇，挺有點耐人尋味的！且讓我們同心禱告，堵住大衛城牆的破口，這不單是為了ＯＭ的緣故，乃是為了敵人堅固的把關，我們就知道神即將要在福岡，新瀉，石川及日本全地大興福音的工作！我們這樣的禱告，是與神同工！

九洲曾經是福音的第一站，閉國時期逼迫最甚亦在九洲，十子架之行也在九洲。五月，九洲也將是福音船在日本的第一站，１７世紀福音隨船一起到達九洲。無論是地點還是工具，都在屬靈上占了非常深重的含意。禱告吧，齊心禱告，叫福音場上的工人了無牽挂，力上加力！

Ｍarch with the Cross

In 1992, Suzuki along with a handful of peer Yakuza converts led a six-month evangelical march throughout Japan, lugging a huge wooden cross. The march started from Kyushu. Then, similar walking tours took place in South Korea and Hawaii, which eventually developed into Mission Barabbas, a missionary group organized by Suzuki and other Yakuza converts. He is now leading a church in Chiba, Siloam Christ Church.

Disturbed

I feel that there is a very complicated emotion moulding in this area.

And I also felt the potential of being a source for emerge of New Age. And Okinawa seems to play some factors in this. I observed that Okinawa had been put on the spot in demonstrating Japanese traditional art and culture. In the movie of "Lily-Chou no subete", Okinawa was also highlighted.

On the other hand, I feel that the spiritual oppression is same as in all parts in Japan. Somehow there are a bit difference in locations.

In Kyoto and Tokyo, I found very oppressed, but the kind of spirits were a bit different, in terms of approach. Kyoto to me was like "it's natural, it's a part of life." and the power of the Gospel was like in the cocoon. Then, in Tokyo, I found the spirits more aggressive, and covered up by materialistic. In Asakusa, it is like a "sucking" energy, luring people to worship it. In other parts of Tokyo, it is like a "blinding" effect.



I had never been to Kyushu, but the anxious remains after I started the research.( It is more than ten months now, for the research of Kyushu) In fact, I think I'm threatened by the complicated energy in Kyushu. New Age seems to blend very well in the original believes, and is popular among the young ones, even if they disregard Shinto or Buddhism. Nothing much evidence or current church info at this area, but I see it as a strategic location that the soldier shall never miss!
