American Christians, Prepare to DEFEND JEWS Across USA From Islamic Terrorist Threats!


ISLAMIC IMAMS IN USA DECLARE WAR ON JEWS NATIONWIDE!

By Pamela Rae Schuffert presenting investigative journalism from a Biblical Christian perspective-

https://www.jihadwatch.org/2018/12/imams-in-north-america-calling-for-the-murder-of-jews?fbclid=IwAR2aq9E4wfEQIQ80spBJ6qpQIcYYIIBSspbRFI_00aS4M9MQjN8CwX-uH9g


This is terrifying! All across America, various Imams, or Islamic religious leaders, are calling for the death of Jews in this nation. How outrageous is THIS?
 


Do we, as Christians in this nation, simply sit back and breathe a sigh of relief that we are NOT Jews being targeted for attack? Or do we recognize that this kind of  threat is a deadly danger FOR US ALL, Christian and Jew ALIKE???

For these same radical Muslims are also threatening to destroy CHRISTIANS around the world...and in many countries, have already done so with impunity.

LOOK at these precious, innocent Jewish children from a community in New York. Could YOU ever sit back and watch as brutal Islamic terrorists tried to harm such as these??? 


AMERICA has offered safe asylum to oppressed and persecuted peoples from around the world for centuries. Because of this, the Jewish communities across this nation have flourished in safety and security, with no possibility of another “Krystallnacht” or Holocaust such as happened in Hitler’s Germany. 

NO OTHER NATION in the world has provided such protection and safety for the Jewish community, as North America has. There can be NO place for the persecution and even calls for deadly attack upon ANY religious group, including against the Jews.

Therefore, the deadly threat of  such cult leaders calling for “the death of Jews” MUST be taken seriously by ALL Americans. 

Christians must remember that the Islamic extremists have also been calling for the eradication of CHRISTIANS  worldwide as well!

Christian prayer warriors across North America, please keep this increasing danger to us ALL in your prayers daily. PRAY for God to hold back the violence and the hate. PRAY that these dangerous people will be silenced and stopped. 

And take the time to PRAY and ask God what YOU CAN DO to help protect Jews in America, should they find themselves endangered or targeted for deadly attack.

I can never forget the day, so many years ago, when I was in the 5th grade, and students started throwing rocks at a Jewish boy on the playground during recess. I was outraged! I ran up to them and said, as I stood in front of my friend Philip Rothschild, “You leave him alone! He is one of God’s chosen people!” They threw down their stones and quietly walked away.My mother came to school and complained the next day.

Most Christians in America all know about heroic Christians who laid down their lives to rescue Jews endangered by the Nazis in Hitler’s Germany. They simply did it out of love, asking themselves,  “What  would Jesus do?” He Who laid down His life for US, also asks us to lay down our lives for others.

It does not MATTER if Jews do NOT believe as we Christians  believe! What matters is that they are fellow human beings, with families, with children, and with feelings, whose lives may be endangered by dark forces calling for their destruction.  For love  of God and our fellow man, we MUST care! 

Always remembering the wisdom  of our Savior, Jesus Christ: “Whatever you would have OTHERS do for you, also do for THEM.” Remember that we TOO have been targeted by radical Islamic terrorists. Do you want others to come to YOUR rescue? Let us therefore also come to the rescue of OTHER innocent victims of the killing cult of hatred, ISLAM. 

Jesus, Who  we believe to be the ONE TRUE MESSIAH, has never stopped loving THE JEWS. From His throne of Heavenly glory, seated at the right hand of God, He ever intercedes for the Jewish people, generation after generation, to DISCOVER THEIR MESSIAH at last, and to receive all the glorious promises God had given the Jews when their MESSIAH CAME FOR THEM.

Regardless of whether we as Christians may agree with Jews on various issues, we are nevertheless called by God to pray for the Jews, and to show them the love of God and Jesus the Messiah as well.

The Deadly Dangers of Islam Emerging in America


A WARNING FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN
WHO VALUES THEIR LIFE AND FREEDOM
IN 
AMERICA TODAY

By Pamela Rae Schuffert presenting investigative journalism from a Biblical Christian perspective-


"THOSE WHO REFUSE TO BE GOVERNED BY GOD, 
WILL BE RULED BY TYRANTS."


"Behold the Lamb of God Who taketh away the sins of the world!"
~John 1:29~

There is absolutely no hope in today's dark world, without a sustaining faith in the Living God, only made possible through Jesus Christ, His Son. 

Jesus Christ is the only religious leader in the world Who is directly sent by God, to atone for the sins of mankind, and to rise from the dead and ascend into Heaven. He alone is sinless and without fault before God.

Jesus Christ alone sits at the right hand of God the Father, and reigns forevermore with God, as the Redeemer of all mankind and all creation.

No other religious leader can hope to make these claims. Not Mohammad, not Buddha, not Moses, nor any other throughout the pantheon of world religious leaders, both ancient or modern day. Mohammad, Mose, Buddha...all of these religious leaders sinned in their lifetimes. All of them died. But not Jesus Christ.

Only Jesus Christ was sent by God to pay the terrible price for the sins of mankind. "For the wages of SIN is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23 Throughout the Bible, it is taught that without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of our sins. 
Animal sacrifice in the Old Testament

This is why, in the Old Testament (Holy Scriptures), Jews were required to bring countless animal sacrifices before God and His altar, as a temporary sacrifice to take their place for their sins. This had to be repeated constantly, since the blood of animals could never permanently change a person from within. 

But once Jesus Christ the Messiah, the promised sacrificial Lamb of God, died in our place once and for all for our sins, animal sacrifices were no longer needed, and will never be required again by God. 

And all who seek to re-establish the system of animal sacrifices to atone for sin will only be disappointed, since God no longer requires them nor takes note of them. God's Son was the final sacrifice for the sins of mankind!

Jesus Christ was sent by God the Father, to become THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD, so that mankind would never have to walk in spiritual darkness again. 

However, darkness surrounds every soul who walks in sin and unbelief. There is not ONE PERSON in the entire world who can hope to escape the judgment of God because of their sins, APART from Jesus Christ God's Son. And that includes YOU. 

You may be a Moslem. You may be a Jew, a Buddhist, a Hindu, a Zionist, a Marxist, a Wiccan or anything else. But without true salvation and forgiveness of your sins through God's Son, you remain in spiritual darkness and sin. 

And when you die, the tragic reality of eternal darkness and torment in hell awaits you forever, because Heaven can only be attained by putting your faith in Jesus Christ for salvation.

This world today is filled with cults (religious teachings outside the Bible) and false prophets and false teachers which bring tragic spiritual darkness to mankind. 

Popular "CO-EXIST" bumpersticker

You can judge a tree by it's fruits, declared Jesus Christ. What kind of fruits does a false prophet, and false unBiblical teachings bring forth?

Here's a list of how to recognize a cult by it's fruits:

Children scarred by Jihadist war in Syria

Heartache. Bloodshed. Ceaseless wars and fighting. Cruelty. Man's inhumanity towards man. Oppression. Murder of the innocent. Depravity. Debauchery. Depression and grief. Hopelessness.

The world is empty without Jesus

And all of these are also the recognizable trademarks of satan and his dark kingdom as well.

These are just some of the many tragic fruits of any teaching that does not come from God the Father, the Author of all truth, as manifested to the world through His Son, Jesus Christ.

You can witness the suffering throughout that world that sinful mankind creates, when people are fueled by the man-made and even demon-inspired doctrines of unBiblical teachings that do not originate from God nor Jesus Christ. 

The Christian Bible declares that "GOD IS LOVE."

Jesus Christ lived to manifest God's tender love, mercy and forgiveness throughout His ministry on earth. And even now, He lives to manifest the Lord of God from Heaven's portals, ministering to lost mankind and His children through His angels and His Holy Spirit power. The Bible teaches us that He ever lives to make intercession for us.

However, many cults declare something entirely different through their actions and teachings. There are many dangerous and soul-damning cults in the world today. Millions of people are involved in such false religions, and countless souls who die daily plunge into the abyss of hell because of them.
The broad path leading to DESTRUCTION

"Broad is the path that leads to destruction, and many there be that enter therein," declared Jesus regarding false religions and the way of sin.

One of the most dangerous cults in the world, is the cult of ISLAM. It is deadly, it is offensive, it is brutal and cruel, and ultimately it is soul-damning as well.

Islam is factually the product of the Christian Bible calls a "false prophet," Mohammad, and actually many other writings added to Islam throughout the centuries besides, according to some researchers. 
An Islamic mosque, or meeting house

Jesus Christ warned of false prophets that would come into the world after Him, and cried "BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS!"

Let us therefore ask, what kind of fruits does  ISLAM produce in the world today?

It is easy to witness the bitter fruits of Islam, it's oppressive Sharia laws, and it's many jihads ("holy wars") throughout the centuries. Christians are only one group of many that have suffered tremendously because of the erroneous doctrines contained in Islam and Sharia law.
Islamic jihadists executing "people who do not agree with them."

Jesus declared "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the children of God."

But what does Islam produce instead? Ceaseless bloody wars, or jihads, throughout the centuries, beginning at it's founding, to brutally establish Islam and their caliphate throughout the world.

Although Jesus declared, "I Am the way, the truth and the life and NO ONE comes to the Father BUT BY ME." 

He also said however, "If a person does not believe my words, I do not judge him [now]: the Word I have spoken will judge him in the last day." 

This is to illustrate that Christian salvation does not come  to mankind imposed by brute force, when someone does not yet believe in Jesus. This is why true Christianity does not go on murderous rampages to judge and destroy those who do not receive Jesus Christ. 

Jesus said that He did not immediately judge that person, but rather that God's Word would someday judge that person when death finally comes and the soul must stand before God.
Islam does not even love it's own

However, Islam teaches it's followers to brutally attack non-Moslems, to try to force them to renounce their previous faith and to became Moslems. Those who refuse to convert to Islam are then brutally beheaded or crucified under intolerant Sharia law. And even those Moslems who run afoul of Sharia are frequently imprisoned, whipped, shot or beheaded by fellow Moslems.

Women and little children suffer even more under Sharia. Child brides are popular in the world of Islam, and many have died from tragic health issues because of being forced into having sex before they are fully matured and able to have sex and carry children safely.

Female genital mutilation is commonly practiced on small girls, often leaving painful scarring and health issues lasting a lifetime. 

This is yet another bitter fruit of the teachings of a false prophet whose inspiration does not come from the one true God of the Bible and of Jesus Christ.


Christian recently crucified by an Islamic jihadist in Iraq

For many Christians in today's world, Islam represents a major threat to the peace and security and religious freedoms of millions of Christians worldwide. The Islamic threat is even beginning to slowly manifest in North America.

What people must understand is, that every person who believes in the Qu'ran and Hadith, and purposes to obey all of it's commands, then becomes a genuine "potential terrorist." 

Why? Simply because of what the Qu'ran teaches. The Qu'ran dictates that Christians and Jews who fail to convert are to be killed. Christians are to be tortured, beheaded and crucified! Is this not true criminal and terrorist doctrine??? To be taught to murder those who do not agree with you, and furthermore oppress them as well???

Of course, there are many Moslems who are not actively crucifying or beheading Christians...yet

But this means nothing. When they decide to carry out the commands of the Qu'ran and Sharia law regarding "infidels," do they not THEN become criminal terrorists? 

Yes. And until then, they remain "potential terrorists" towards every Christian and every Jew and anyone else they feel "offended" by.

Part of the deadly danger of Islam is it's unpredictability. You can never know when a person whose teachings include murdering those who they disagree with, will act on those teachings.

And there is great danger also, due to unpredictability of when any Moslem decides to act of the teachings of the Qu'ran towards innocent non-Islamic victims in that person's vicinity.

When the demands of the Qu'ran are carried out against non-Moslems, Islam becomes a deadly killing cult, filled with religious ideology full of hate speech, bigotry, discrimination, and persecution and oppression towards all who do not agree with it's ideology. 

Islam goes BEYOND being just a religious belief, to a government ideology that transforms any nation under Sharia law into a frequently ruthless and brutal totalitarian dictatorship.

GONE is religious liberty and the right to freedom of speech under Islamic Sharia law!AND THAT WOULD INCLUDE CHRISTIAN CHURCHES AND PREACHING...just as it does in many oppressive Islamic nations like Saudi Arabia.
Christians would no longer be allowed to freely worship or preach the Gospel

GONE are womens' rights to fair and equal treatment under male biased and dominated Islamic Sharia law!
Woman stoned to death in Iran, allegedly for "adultery"

GONE is freedom from discrimination due to gender and color and religious beliefs (or lack of them.) Recently Saudi Arabia declared that even ATHEISM was punishable by DEATH. And that anyone bringing CHRISTIAN BIBLES into Saudi Arabia would receive the death penalty.

Christian persecution and suffering is multiplied under Islam. Also, anti-Semitism rises like a plague to attack the Jews under Islamic Sharia law. People of all religious faiths other than Islam are subject to cruel attack and murder by these truly hate-filled religious bigots.

Christians in America are witnessing the ominous and gradual rise of Islam in North America today. Thousands of Islamic immigrants are being deliberately sponsored and selected by the UN to be brought into America for resettlement. It becomes apparent as one studies this phenomenon, that once again there is indeed a hidden agenda underlying professed  "humanitarian" purposes. 

This is especially true when we have a President today who has openly admitted he is a Muslim, who has publicly admitted he will side with the Muslims and the Muslim Brotherhood, who is bringing more and more Muslims into government and other important positions, and who is enabling the funding and support of Islamic terrorists in the Middle East to bomb Christian churches and behead and murder countless Christians in Iraq and Syria.

Schools in America are reportedly compelling non-Moslem students to say Islamic prayers to a foreign god...even while the Christian belief system is being oppressed from the public school system in our nation.

Numerous articles are being published by investigative journalists who show how the US, Israel, NATO, Turkey and Saudi Arabia and UAE are all covertly supporting, arming, funding and training the "Syrian rebels" (ISIS/ISIL)  to be used for destabilization of the region and "regime change" against Bashar Al Assad in Syria, among other things. 

This alliance for regime change and destabilization of the Middle East constitutes the GLOBALIST AGENDA for the world, including what has become for America "the corporate state" which now truly governs America, instead of "we the people."

WHY are the Christians being so ruthlessly persecuted and eliminated in Iraq and Syria, by the very "Syrian rebel forces" that America and her allies are training and supporting there? 

Is there a reason BEYOND "simply because they are Moslems committing jihad against Christians"?

One more Christian crucified by terrorist ISIS forces in Iraq

And WHY is the mainstream media so eerily silent about these horrific atrocities against so many innocent victims of Syrian rebel terrorists in Ira and Syria?

Christian child beheaded in church attacked by ISIS

Where is the international outrage? 


Where is the outcry? 

When children are being brutally raped and beheaded and their brains blown out, where is the concern by America and the world? 

(And church leaders in America, WHY do so many of you remain silent as well??? Don't you realize these victims are your brothers and sisters in Christ as well?)

And WHY has the UN recently declared that they no longer have emergency funding for the victim refugees living in bitterly cold tent cities in places like Jordan, at  time when children and infants are dying from the cold due to lack of proper clothing and heaters for their tents?

Christian refugee face cruel winters without heat and proper clothing

One very clear reason
 why Christians are being so ruthlessly attacked, is because the NWO globalists (who are covertly calling the shots and funding/arming these terrorists from behind the scenes) possess an everlasting hatred of Christianity and Christian people worldwide. 


Globalists (or the NWO) know that Christians, due to their Biblical belief system, will never accept their planned world government under Lucifer, their admitted driving force and demonic inspiration behind a very satanic new world order.

I was informed by a former NWO supporter who once worked for the CIA, that they hated the Christians who stood in the way of their moving forward in America with their NWO agenda. 
FEMA camp prepared for the hour of martial law USA

She admitted that they even planned from within the CIA how to remove the Christians in North America by force, and herd them into the FEMA/DHS and related camps for TERMINATION as "resisters of the New World Order." 

This is nothing new in the world's scene, of course. The Communists do this all the time, as soon as they take over any nation. Christians are among the first to be terminated or arrested and taken to the camps for destruction. 

Historically, Jewish Bolsheviks and Hitler's Nazis both used this tactic against Christians, as well as other perceived "enemies of the state," including political opponents of their dark regimes.

This former CIA source further enlightened me by stating the following: "One thing you Christians need to realize is, that the NEW WORLD ORDER is Satan's kingdom manifested on earth, that the satanists are the backbone of it, and for this reason THE CHRISTIANS HAVE TO GO..."

In other words, to make way for the globalists' NWO, the Christians must be removed from the world scene completely. But then, Jewish NWO supporters agree with this principle, and so so the Moslems of the world as well. And both groups have proved it in the past.

I find it very fascinating to note that in every nation and region of the world where the CIA and US government/military covertly trains, funds and arms such people for destabilization of a region and "regime change," one of the first people groups to be targeted for  brutal persecution and elimination ARE THE CHRISTIANS.

Islam demands that Christians be crucified and beheaded for their faith

This is certainly true
with ISIS/ISIL rebel forces and their barbaric attacks on Christians and churches in both Iraq and Syria. Solid evidence has steadily emerged of the US, Israel and NATO allies covertly training, arming and funding destabilization mercenary troops being used for "regime change" in Syria, for example.


Church bombed by ISIS terrorist forces

I wonder if the covert training
the CIA and US military provided, (Israel and MOSSAD are confirmed providers as well) also included the encouragement to attack Christians, bomb their churches, terrorize them, behead them, and destroy even their children. 


Because that is exactly what is going on in the Middle East and other regions of the world today, and the mainstream media and world leaders are largely silent..eerily so. But to remain silent is to side with THE OPPRESSORS and never the victims.  

I would like to address the following quote to the silence of the media and leaders from around the world:

I swore never to be silent whenever and wherever human beings endure suffering and humiliation. We must always take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
Moslems who cooperate can provide the globalists with a powerful military force to train, arm and then use to bring persecution and elimination of Christianity. All, of course, in the name of "jihad" and spreading Islam worldwide...at least in the minds of the Moslems who participate.

Many Moslems have no idea that they are simply pawns being used by the globalists and various nations, in order to achieve desired "destabilization" and "regime changes" in various parts of the world.

And if Moslems can be used to bring destruction to Christian churches and to end religious freedoms in foreign nations, can't they be used by the "God-and Christian-hating" globalists to try to destroy Christians and religious freedoms, RIGHT HERE IN NORTH AMERICA??? 

Of course they can be, and alert and discerning Americans are already witnessing the gradual beginnings of such a dark plan to divide-and-conquer right here in America, and to oppress Christianity in this nation, proudly founded from her beginning on Christian religious values and morals.



The Apostle Paul declared that Christians are to always be on the alert, because our adversary the devil continually goes about as a roaring lion seeking whom he may destroy. 

Thankfully, more and more Christians are waking up across America, to finally comprehend this genuine threat to the future of our Christian heritage and freedoms in this nation.
Remembering America's Christian heritage, now imperiled

Christians of North America, the clear warning signs are found everywhere in our nation today (our schools, our government, our military and more,) announcing the intentions of those who plan to oppose Christianity in our nation today.

Will you rise to the challenge, and purpose to stand up for Jesus Christ and America's Christian heritage and religious freedoms, in this critical hour of assault on our faith and freedom?

For the sake of your future and your children's as well in America, we must stand firmly for Jesus Christ in the face of all opposition, however ruthless and deadly it may become.


The future of AMERICA is UP TO YOU.
And as one more American, what you do counts!

The Iranian Rose Seller Who Discovered Jesus Christ

A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE OF HOPE 
By Pamela Rae Schuffert presenting investigative journalism from a Biblical Christian perspective-


Once again,
it was Christmas season in the Washington DC area, where I used to live near for many years. Everywhere I looked, bright Christmas lights and decorations covered nearly everything, from street lights to the huge Christmas tree on the Ellipse near the White House.


For me, this was a season to take the time especially to show forth the love of Jesus to the international community found throughout the Washington DC metropolitan region. You can never spread the message of God's love to the world, without sharing sharing that rich love and compassion in practical ways that touch hearts and lives. LOVE always means ACTION for the Christian disciple who truly wants to change the world for Jesus.

So many people come from distant countries throughout the world, to make Washington DC their home. Restaurants there cater to everything from Middle Eastern cuisine, to Chinese and Asian, to Latin American specialities, and so much more.

Washington DC is also known for her many political and religious refugees as well. When Russia invaded Afghanistan several decades ago, the streets of DC were later filled with the kiosks of many Afghani refugees selling their wares imported from Afghanistan. The same was true for other nationalities as well.

How I loved to walk down those crowded streets of Washington DC, where you could find many international vendors selling their products. Having trained to be a Christian missionary especially to foreign peoples, I loved learning foreign languages and being able to speak at least a few words to these people in their native dialects or languages at times.

This finally led to my purchasing foreign Bibles in many languages from the International Bible Society. I soon had Bibles in Russian and Romanian, Farsi (Persian) and Dari, plus many other languages as well. These were all to be handed out freely to the internationals I would inevitably encounter as I walked down the crowded sidewalks in the parts of DC that were known to have many nationalities present at times.


I can remember times of driving slowly through the  delightful colonial era neighborhoods of Georgetown, for example, praying for God to lead me to the right foreign people that He was reaching out to, to bring them salvation through Jesus Christ. 

Foreign vendors would often be seen in such high end neighborhoods, selling exquisitely beautiful products hand crafted in their native countries at the tables or booths they were permitted to set up daily therein.

In the back seat of my car there was always a selection of Bibles in many languages, ready to give away to the people I encountered at such times.
Christmastime in Georgetown
I can never forget that very special Christmas season one year, as I slowly drove down the brightly decorated streets of Georgetown in Washington DC. Christmas lights were everywhere, and the air was crisp and cold that night, combined with a faint dampness associated with this historic city located on the C AND O CANAL and the Potomac River as well.

All of a sudden, I noticed a man standing by his table, apparently selling bouquets of roses. He did not appear to be an American, but rather more like a person from the Middle East. Great! If that was the case, I had Bibles in Arabic and Persian in the back of my car!

I quickly pulled over to the curb and parked my car, shoving a few quarters into the parking meter. I then slowly walked over to this man and asked him about what he was selling. I noted a look of sadness in his eyes that evening as I spoke to him.

Sensing that I was more than just another customer here to buy his roses, he looked into my eyes and slowly began to pour out his heart to me about why he now lived in America, and what was happening back in his country, Iran, ever since the Ayatollah Khomeini had seized power with his Revolutionary Guards, and began to brutally impose Islamic Sharia law upon the Iranian people.

I was shocked at what I was being told. The US media never really told us what really happened after Khomeini seized power in Iran, and the Shah was ousted.  For many, life became miserable as former liberties and freedoms were abolished, as the people were forced to conform to strict Islamic law, or pay the dread price.

All opposition to Khomeini and the regime under Sharia law were arrested and taken away to be brutally imprisoned, tortured and executed in places like grim Evin Prison.

Dread Evin Prison in Tehran, Iran

This man began to tell me of his family members being arrested by the secret police, and taken away to places like EVIN PRISON to be tortured and beaten for minor infractions against Sharia law. 


He actually had a scrapbook on his table that he began to show me, filled with photos of people who had been brutally beaten, tortured and abused under Islamic law in Iran. The photographs of the injured and those who had suffered under Khomeini were frightening and very disturbing.

Prisoners beaten with cable on their bare feet, then forced to walk on those broken feet afterwards.

Revolutionary Guards in Iran

As I listened and looked into his eyes, now glistening with tears about to fall, I sensed that he too had suffered under the scourge and curse of  brutal and militant Islam. That was why, in fact, he now lived in America instead of Iran.


My heart was profoundly moved. Praying within for the right words, I carefully began to share with him about what Jesus Christ had done for my life when everything seemed hopeless. 

I too had been horribly abused and scarred by a brutal and unbelieving father in my very own home throughout the years. A father who at one time even beat me with a sword from a collection in our Northern Virginia home. And whose hatred and cruelty towards me would cause me to literally shake with fear in his presence at times even in spite of my being very ill throughout my high school years.

Jesus always reaches out to the suffering

But that is
exactly where Jesus Christ encountered me! Jesus found me rejected, bruised and beaten down and ready to die. And then, His tender mercy and love lifted me up out of rejection and abuse and sadness. 


His love and compassion ministered restoration and healing to me as I received Him into my heart as my Lord and Savior in 1971. And finally, my life began to gloriously change at last, as God's grace and mercy began to transform me from victim to victor and overcomer through Jesus Christ.

The HOLY BIBLE in Farsi

I then remembered
that I had ONE IRANIAN BIBLE in the back seat of my car! Excusing myself, I ran to my car and grabbed it and brought it to give to him.


As I shared with this Iranian about the love of God through Jesus Christ and how He could change this man's life and heal him of the past, I witnessed something I was totally unprepared for. I handed him the Bible in his language, and then.....

Tears began to flow from this man's eyes as he began to cry unashamedly on that sidewalk in Georgetown. He then collapsed on his knees and put his arms around my legs and began to weep uncontrollably.  
Jesus will always be there for us when we stumble and fall

I was stunned, uncertain of what to do, as he embraced the Bible tightly, and began to kiss it, and then kiss my hand that handed it to him. In years of ministry, this had never happened before. In broken English he spoke the following words as he wept.

"Yes...YES! ISA  (Jesus) is good! The religion of Muhammad is no good...but ISA...Jesus...HE IS GOOD!" 

I was truly overwhelmed by all this. Apparently this Christian Bible meant more to him than it does to most Americans living in freedom today.

When he finally was able to stop weeping and regained his composure, I was then able to pray with this Iranian man for Jesus Christ to truly come in to his heart, forgive his sins, set him free from the cruel bondage and deception of Islam, and to give him a new life free from the past injustices of Islam.

As I looked at him, I realized that before me stood a man that had experienced a dramatic encounter with God through Jesus Christ his new-found Savior, and he would never be the same again. 

Knees that had once bowed to the god of Mohammad, were now bowing to his new and wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

He had learned through his painful personal experience in Iran that life under Islam and militant Sharia law was never the way to peace, fulfillment, joy and eternal life.

Rather, he discovered firsthand that Islam brought oppression, bondage, hardships and darkness to the people of his nation, Iran. And for this man, Jesus Christ alone provided the love, the mercy, the healing and compassion that he so desperately needed in his hour of pain and sadness.

We continued to talk briefly as the sun finally set over Washington DC. After a final embrace, it was time to leave. The streets were now dark, except for the occasional twinkling of countless Christmas decorations that seemed to herald the wondrous story of  how God sent His Son into the darkness of this world to redeem all mankind from sin.

Christmas in Georgetown

I slowly walked
back to my car and sat down, amazed at what I had just witnessed. My head was spinning, overwhelmed at how God knew exactly how to lead me to that one person He wanted me to reach out to that night. Oh, how beautiful and amazing are the incredible ways of our Living God!


Looking back at the Iranian rose vendor one more time as I slowly drove away, I observed how this man held the Christian Bible so closely to his heart.

This was a lesson I would never forget throughout the many years of my Christian ministry.

For here was a man  formerly of Islamic background, who had lived in Iran and had experienced first hand the cruelties and numerous injustices of life under militant Islam and Sharia. And from his own lips he declared with tears in his eyes, that Islam and other religions did nothing for him...but that JESUS  CHRIST WAS GOOD!

These were the very words of a former Moslem who discovered personally that there is nothing but heartache and darkness without Jesus Christ, and who could find no peace or healing in his former religion of Islam under Sharia.

What a powerful testimony this was to me! This one Iranian man's testimony puts to shame the reasoning of western analysts and those in America who are foolishly trying to oppress Christianity, and instead push for Islamic law to be subtly and gradually imposed throughout our nation. 

Can we not learn from first-hand experiences such as this???
**********************************

CONFRONTING THE RISING DANGERS OF ISLAM IN AMERICA TODAY


Yes, Jesus Christ IS good!
So good, in fact, that this Iranian man did what few men ever do in public, and that was to weep over the goodness of the living God through Jesus Christ, and to be so thankful for the hope that the Christian Bible provides for all mankind...Moslems included.


While my readers can sense, through reading my previous articles, that I am justifiably concerned over the dark inroads Islam is attempting to make throughout my nation, America, and am therefore writing articles addressing this issue, I also want to make it plain that HEREIN is the eternal answer to the problem of the cult religion of Islam: JESUS CHRIST!


Bring the light of salvation to a Moslem, and their lives will be transformed from darkness into light as the behold the power of Jesus Christ changing them from within. Such transformed people can never again pick up a sword of persecution against Jesus and His people!

This is exactly why Jesus has commanded us to show mercy and forgiveness to our enemies, and to bring His word to them as well. Islam as a dangerous cult religion will never be eradicated from the world through ceaseless wars of retaliation and hatred and revenge.

But rather, the deadly cult of Islam can only be overcome by the light of the world, Jesus Christ, Who IS good and Who alone can provide salvation for millions of lost souls deceived by the heresies of Islam, and walking in darkness worldwide.
Jesus Christ remains the LIGHT OF THE WORLD!

Only the light can eradicate the darkness! The Bible tells us to overcome evil with GOOD. And what could be more good and wonderful than giving a Bible to a Moslem in your vicinity, including sharing your sincere testimony with that lost soul, and praying for that person to find salvation through Jesus Christ at last???

This was God's way of reaching each one of us when we were lost sinners and headed to hell, and this is how we can also reach out to the lost in our world today, and change the world through Jesus Christ. This is what the Bible and the teachings of  Jesus Christ tell us. 

And now, it is time to put such teachings into action throughout our nation, America, today.

American cannot be saved nor transformed, without the SAVING POWER of God through Jesus Christ. Why? Because a NATION consists of her PEOPLE. America is chiefly dying from SIN WITHIN, more than from the enemy without. As the well known cartoon character of yesteryear, Pogo, once famously (and truthfully) declared, "We have met the enemy, and HE IS US!"
Pogo got it right!

In closing, I encourage you to become a part of God's answer to the problems in America today. Sitting around complaining about America's problems will never change this nation. BUT, Christian actions of faith and obedience, based on the word of God, have the power to dramatically CHANGE AMERICA.

I also urge you to resist the natural urge to be filled with animosity or anger towards the Moslems in America today. Of course I am aware and alarmed over the subtle introduction of Islamic teaching into the schools of America, and the conquest of Islam for America.

Of course I am aware that we have a Moslem President who is facilitating Islamic inroads into America. I realize what the goals of Islam are for America and the world, and that is total domination. And with that quest for domination will also come brutal oppression of Christianity as well.

But we must realize that the only way Moslems will truly change, is when the light of Jesus Christ fills them. And this can only happen as we share the Good News of Jesus Christ with such people. It is a matter of transforming the heart within. And guns, bullets, bombs and warfare cannot change the heart. Only Jesus Christ can.

PRAY for the salvation of these Islamic people. Obtain Bibles in their languages and freely offer them to those you meet or know. Spend time behind the scenes praying for their salvation. Take the time to lovingly and respectfully share your testimony about what Jesus Christ has done for your life, and what He can do for theirs as well.

This is clearly Christ's way of winning this battle against Islam, eternally...one lost soul at a time. The moment we choose to turn to the world's ways of winning wars, through the use of hatred and violence and destruction of men's lives, we have become no better than they, and we have then fallen from the faith and the clear revelations of Jesus Christ our Savior.

God's way, or the world's way...what shall it be? 



But the only way to truly win a battle eternally, is to fight it with the weapons of faith and the Word of God that Jesus Christ has given us. And Heaven rejoices over one more soul being saved from the soul-damning cult called ISLAM, all because of our faithful witness of Jesus Christ to them.  

Please, my fellow Christians, choose to make a difference, as the emerging battle of  ISLAM CONFRONTING CHRISTIANITY continues throughout our nation unabated.

And remember the lesson learned from THE IRANIAN ROSE SELLER WHO FOUND JESUS CHRIST. We all have a vital role to play in reaching out to people across America with the light of the Gospel. And YOU can make the difference!
