Testimony


I want to encourage you all to go to this link and listen to the astounding testimony:


This is the story of a young Muslim girl who converted to Christ. It is well worth listening all the way to the prayer at the end.



This young woman mentions Rev. 12:11 at the beginning of her testimony. Look at these three verses before Rev. 12:11:
The devil is a devourer:
Rev. 12:4 His tail drew a third of the stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born.

The devil is a deceiver:
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.

The devil is an accuser:
10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, "Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

Rev. 12:11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

We overcome his devouring by the blood of the Lamb!
We overcome his deceiving by the word of our testimony!
We overcome his accusations by giving our lives to the Lord – even to death!

Update On Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani (husband of Fatema Pasindedih and father of two boys - Daniel, 9 and Yoel, 7) was arrested over 2 years ago on charges of apostasy - he converted from Islam when he was 19. and will not recant his commitment to Christianity. Iranian courts have found him guilty and condemned him to death.


Congress may be voting today on House Resolution 556, which condemns the Iranian government for their decision to execute this man, and calls for his immediate release.


GOOD NEWS: Iranian Pastor Youcef is still alive as no execution order has been issued as yet. International pressure seems to be working (a little) on the Iranian authorities


BAD NEWS: Pastor Youcef is still in prison with this judgment still hanging over him. The Iraian government usually acts quickly in death penalty cases, and he could be executed at any time - without further notification or appeal.


Please keep praying for this brother in Christ, and his family:

Praise The Lord

• Muslims are required to pray five times a day: First time between the first light and sunrise. Second after mid day. Third is at mid-afternoon. Fourth is at sunset, and then finally the fifth time is about one and a half hours after sunset. 

• Buddhists chant and meditate in the morning and evening, although there is no schedule or requirement.

• Hindus pray three times a day, although there are so many branches of Hinduism that it is impossible to give a hard and fast answer. Praying at dusk is given special significance.

Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani

Please pray for this pastor in Iran (Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani) - he has been sentenced to death for leaving Islam and becoming a Christian - also because he is a pastor. He is awaiting a final ruling from the provincial court in Iran:




Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani continues to await a verdict on his impending execution. A member of his denomination, the Church of Iran, who requested anonymity, reports that Pastor Youcef is in deteriorating health from the psychological effects of solitary confinement, monitoring of all his phone calls with attorneys, and daily awaiting word of his immediate death. He has been given literature attacking Christianity as false and Islam as true in order to entrap him or induce him to recant. Therefore, his attorneys have advised him to remain silent and not respond to questions. He has also been physically hit by authorities. Pray for Youcef's strength to remain firm, for his mind to be toughened, for grace to endure his trial. Pray for increased international pressure on Iran and boldness and wisdom for Youcef. 


Sign this petition to ask US Sec. of State Hillary Clinton to pressure Iran to Save Christian Pastor:


Also, email the Embassy of Iran in Canada and ask them to release Pastor Youcef: executive@iranembassy.ca
