The Prayer Request Thread - Everyone is Welcome - We Will Pray For You!

Beautiful

We declare healing in Jesus Name

Email that I received today:



Dear Friends,

You probably know that we rarely send emails unless we have a very urgent prayer request we would like to share with you. This is such a time.

A dear personal friend of mine is in trouble for no reason except that he loves and obeys Jesus Christ. His name is Saeed Abedini. He was born in Iran, but is now a US citizen. His wife Naghmeh is also a US citizen and they live with their two children in the US state of Idaho.

Saeed, despite being just 32 years old, has been instrumental in bringing many Iranian Muslims to the Lord, and has established numerous house churches throughout Iran.

He asked me to write his biography, and I was working on it when Saeed made one last trip back to Iran to say goodbye to his family. He knew that when his book came out it would be impossible for him to travel back to the country of his birth.

I can assure you that his testimony is quite remarkable and will bring much glory to God, and I can testify that Saeed is a God-fearing brother who loves the Lord Jesus. Before he met the Lord, Saeed was so depressed he wanted to commit suicide, and for a time he was trained by Hezbollah to be a suicide bomber. After he experienced salvation through the Blood of Jesus Christ, Saeed’s whole life was so dramatically transformed that he could not help but spread the Good News to as many people as possible.

In September last year Saeed was travelling on a bus near the Iranian border when Revolutionary Guards boarded the bus and dragged him off. He has been held for months while he waited for his case to come before the courts of Iran. He is currently captive in the notorious Evin Prison in Tehran. He has been mercilessly tortured, but has not denied His Lord and Savior.

Despite being an American citizen, the US State Department has done nothing to help as they have no relationship with Iran. From the human level, there is little hope for Saeed. Indications have been given that he may be sentenced to 18 years in prison, or possibly even given the death penalty.

That is why I am asking you to pray. What politicians and the strength of men are unable to achieve, God can do!

Today we received news that Saeed’s case has been assigned to a notorious judge who is known as ‘the hanging judge” because of his history of sending people to the gallows. This man has such a fearsome reputation that few lawyers in Iran are willing to defend clients before him, because the judge often has the lawyer thrown into prison as well. He is due to hand down his sentence next week. The American Center for Law and Justice has released this harrowing statement, which includes a picture of Saeed and his family: [link to aclj.org]

Despite all these hardships, Saeed continues to stand strong for the Lord. In a recent letter to his family from prison he wrote, “Prison is a test of faith. I was always worried that the storms of this life would break the ship of my faith, but when you stand steadfast, the storms are like a nice breeze. Nothing can break my faith. These walls have created more fervor for me to love others through sharing the Gospel, but more than that, the walls have deepened my love for my Savior. I feel the prayers of all who are praying for me.”

Can you please pray that our Living God will perform a miracle for Saeed and his family?

· Whatever the outcome, please pray that the Name of Jesus will be glorified and many thousands in Iran will hear the Gospel because of Saeed’s imprisonment.

·Please ask God to soften the heart of Judge Pir-Abassi, and that the Lord’s will may completely overshadow all the proceedings. Pray Saeed will receive grace and favour from the Lord.

·Ask God to bring this situation to the attention of many intercessors around the world who will pray for Saeed and his family.

·Please pray Saeed will continue to stand firm and be a great witness to the guards and other prisoners he comes into contact with.

·Pray the Gospel will continue to spread to the 70 million captive Iranians. Many are open to knowing and following Jesus Christ, but have never heard the message of His salvation.

Please feel free to forward this message to other praying Christians. There are no security restrictions on it and there is nothing in the content which the Iranian government doesn’t already know. You may also post this message in its entirety on social media or websites, if you feel it will help mobilize more Christians to pray.

For our King,

Lisa... ((((((((<3)))))))

I will devote some serious praying to this cause, tonight. Thank you for spreading the word. <3 I pray that he and his family are kept safe, and he is afforded a fair trial--I ask that the judge shows mercy and is does not make a hasty decision. I ask this through Jesus Christ, our Lord. May the Lord strengthen him and his family, and keep them in His loving grace and protection.

I am especially moved by and sensitive to this, having worked in the immigration field, for asylum cases, those who were held captive and suffered horrible abuses and torture in other countries. I have seen and read many things I wish I hadn't. But, it opened me to seeing and truly understanding the strength many have when faced with absolutely horrible circumstances, and how their faith endured, despite deplorable circumstances.

God bless him and his family, and you Lisa, for sharing this. Thank you.

O God, you are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water.
Psalm 63:1

"Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God."
Acts 5:38-39

Father if the Kurdish people will act as shield for your people in a sea of hate, grant them unity and country, amen YAHshua/Jesus

Amen

The entire law is summed up in a single command: "Love your neighbor as yourself."
Galatians 5:14

I need prayer I am Publicly Speaking for God this month

Amen!

And prayers for you, and your endeavor, GFG. I am sure you will do very well.

I'm going to put in a little prayer request, folks, if you have a moment to spare.

Been battling/dealing with an abnormal headache the past two days on the left side of my head, behind the base of my ear and at the base of my skull at the back of my head, radiating down my neck. It's not a muscle pull, and it feels like the pain is deep, and I feel pressure, which is driving me batty. The pain is not responding to ibuprofen, etc. and becomes a shooting head pain all over my skull when I stand up/sit down/blood pressure changes. It hurts to turn my head at this point, and I'm running a fever. I am hoping it's just a middle ear infection or something. Going to the doctor today to see what it is. Thanks in advance.

Dear Heavenly Father
WE lift up JL today that you bring Wisdom, Knowledge and Healing on this body today, in Jesus Name Amen
