| A Brother From Saudi-arabia. Journey To CHRIST by holypower(m): 11:22pm On Dec 22, 2013 |
"Born to a Saudi family, in Saudi Arabia, and living very close to Mecca, I grew up with strict principals and traditions of Islam and the Arab culture. As a teenager I went to the mosque five times a day in obedience to my parents. One night, while I was asleep, I had this horrible dream of me being taken into hell. And what I saw there brought me real fear and these dreams kept coming to me almost every night. At this point I was really wondering as to why I should be seeing hell in this manner. Suddenly one day, Jesus appeared to me and said, "Son, I am the way, the truth and the life. And if you would give your life to Me, and follow Me, I would save you from the hell that you have seen." — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — This came as a surprise to me, for I did not know who this Jesus was. Of course, He is mentioned in the Koran in the book Surah Mariam. He is stated as one of our prophets, but not as a Savior who could save us from hell. So I started looking out for a Christian who could give me some advise about this Jesus I have seen and possibly get one of the Christian Holy Books, which I now know is the Bible. But it was a difficult task for me to get any Christian to speak to me about Jesus. As you would know, Christianity is totally banned in Saudi Arabia and if a Christian is caught witnessing to a Muslim, he could be almost sure that he would be beheaded. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — Then the Lord led me to an Egyptian Christian who was sick. I prayed for this man’s healing and this man gave me a Bible. Then I, by myself, started reading the Bible. By this time Jesus had become a close friend to me. Soon I started witnessing about the experience I had with all my family relations and friends. Soon the authorities were informed that I had converted to Christianity, and I believe this was done by one of my family members. As it states in the Koran, if someone would turn away from Islam, he is a traitor to the faith and he should be executed. So I was taken into custody and tortured. They told me that I would be beheaded if I would not turn back to Islam. But I had already made my decision that I would never turn back. So I told the authorities I’m willing to die for Jesus and that I would never come back to Islam. After much torture and imprisonment, I was sentenced to be beheaded. They gave me a date and a time and I told them, "You go ahead and execute me. I’m going to heaven to see Jesus. But I pray that what you would do to me would stay in your minds and not give you rest until you come to Jesus." — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — The appointed day and time came for my execution, and I was waiting with much anticipation, yet very much strong in my faith in Jesus. Generally the executions are carried out on the set time and date. But to my amazement, no one turned up. One hour lapsed, two hours went by, then it became three hours, and then the day passed by. And no one turned up. Then two days later, the authorities turned up and opened the doors and told me, "You demon! Get out from this place!" I also noticed that the main person who was determined to get me beheaded was not present when they came to release me. I asked them where this guy was. And with much hesitation they replied that his son had died on the same day they planned to execute me. Although I continue to go through much persecution, one thing I know is that the Lord’s hand is upon me. — — — — — — — — — — — — — — — A Brother from Saudi Arabia 4 Likes |

I had a saudi arabia friend that was converted to CHRIST after the local imams attempt with him to kill his brother that as also converted! On his way to kill his brother, he saw CHRIST JESUS telling him that HE is the way, the truth and the life! They are now living in sweden and had left their home for fear of death, as the penalty of leaving islam. You know you muslims, you are just doing the works of the devil, alsways trying to falsify all the available truth. To corrupt them all that will affect your demonic religion.. Am nt abusing! |

If that was directed at me, you are wasting your time, as far as I am concerned Christians and Muslims are both the same. Saudi Arabia are quite efficient at killing. |

hercules07:You muslims and athiests never believe any story that attempt to point to the truth. You argue everything that doesn't suit your belief. But be rest assure that no matter what, we(Christians) will never back down from revealing the truth whether you believe it or not. Atleast, the truth on the last day will stand as a judgement against you. Shalom. |

I don't know about this story, but I do know that I was in Plateau state some months ago and we received a missionary from iraq. He spoke to us and we encouraged him, he told us that some of the islamic heads were receiving visions of Jesus Christ. This man is has a wife and children and runs a mission there. People live and die and go to hell because of their sins. Jesus has the solution. He is the way. Let us always tell people the good news of salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. One will not get to heaven through good works. The wages of sin is death. One cannot bribe God. No matter the "good" we have done, there will always be a bad, and we will be condemned. God is a just judge. Our bribes of good works cannot get us to heaven. Only trust in his substitution and mercy and grace can. Repentance is available through Christ Jesus. 4 Likes |

Who has ever killed or do anything evil in the name of Jesus before? Bt u sure know all that have been done for the name of Islam. U just shot urself in the leg with this statement 'cos its known fact that no one defend Jesus or xtianity bt u guys do so for Muhammad n Islam, even going to the extend of killing n maiming.

See ur rationality, u refer me to the old testament (as if u understand it, well that's not the point) as against what is being done presently? I repeat again to expose the evil in Islam, what is the rationality in killing n maiming (today) in the name of Muhammad/Islam? |
