Out of Darkness....a conversion - 08-19-08, 06:28 PM

I have requested from Chad the permission to post a link to a story.

FOXNews.com - Son of Hamas Leader Turns Back on Islam and Embraces Christianity - Local News | News Articles | National News | US News


This story will not receive "main stream" attention. The media is mostly controlled by forces counter to Christianity that want us all to believe that every "religion" is "relatively" correct. So whenever someone comes to the conclusion that this "relative truth" is a deception, the media keeps it quiet.

But this story is an answer to a long standing prayer of mine.

I have personal connections to the Middle East. Friends and family fight in various posts in the Middle East right now. My mother's bloodline extends from the Ukraine into areas of Cappadocia, and I am constantly torn by the knowledge that not all of my relatives are on the right side of this war. I have buried more than one who lost his life on that soil.

I've prayed to the Lord many times to raise up someone among the Muslim generations today who could perhaps reach them from within their own culture. I have begged that someone "famous" be Called who could say, "I have been where you are and I know we were mistaken...Christ is the Way, Christ is the Truth, Christ is the Light."

I believe God has answered my prayers with this young man.
He is certainly not the first Muslim to come to Christ.
But he *is* one of rather famous connections.
For *him* to question the tenants he was taught, to see the violence prescribed within the pages of the Koran, to question the veracity of such contradictory teachings -- will be a major blow to the forces that push radical Islam as a "right path."

Pray with me for him.

Pray for his safety, for his father's "superiors" will surely want him dead, and they *will* attempt to act on that wish, even if he is in the United States.

Pray for his success, for he fights to bring the Truth of Christ to his family and his people.

If he lives to get his message out, to share the truth with Muslims as only a Muslim who has come to the truth on his own can do, then this young man may very well lead a *lot* of people to God.


"And Jesus came and touched them, and said, 'Arise, and be not afraid.'" (Matt 17:7)

Dear Janette

I will join you in prayer for this man...that his testimony will lead other muslims to Christ and that the Lord will preserve him safely.

O Lord send out Thy light and Thy truth Psalm 43:3

May God bless you sister

Julia




He is altogether lovely...my beloved and my friend

Yes, I agree in Jesus name with this prayer and ask also that many who are just observers, who are not muslim, will be led to Christ by this man's testimony, and that those in government office, who make decisions about issues of faith, will be challenged in their hearts and minds and will see in Christ the life that their soul longs for, to the glory and praise of God in Jesus Christ the Lord ...amen


1John 1:2-4
(For the life was manifested, and we have seen it, and bear witness, and shew unto you that eternal life, which was with the Father, and was manifested unto us;)
That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.
And these things write we unto you, that your joy may be full.

I am reminded of this word Sister Janette,


Acts 23:10-11

10 Now when there arose a great dissension, the commander, fearing lest Paul might be pulled to pieces by them, commanded the soldiers to go down and take him by force from among them, and bring him into the barracks.
11 But the following night the Lord stood by him and said, "Be of good cheer, Paul; for as you have testified for Me in Jerusalem, so you must also bear witness at Rome."



Hallelujah, praise be to the Lord


For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. Col 1:19&20
