[__ Prayer __] Please pray for this man and his family

My prayers have been with this gentleman for some time. I cannot imagine what it would be like to not be able to talk about Jesus without incurring threat of death. My prayers continue for this man, and for all like him around the world ...and their families.

Thanks, Ryan, for sharing this notice to CFnet ... there could be those who are not aware of this particular situation.
 
I pray for those who are not able to express themselves freely.

I hope our own society maintains freedom of speech without harassment.

I will do what I can to continuously search for and stand for truth.

How fortunate we are. Praise The Lord for this man's strength.

Will put him on my prayer list. Most of us who live in the western world do not comprehend what it is like to be persecuted. The Iranian government can put people in jail BUT they cannot stop the good news from being preached. This is the hand of the enemy but God says, No weapon formed against us shall prosper. We need to take time out each day and remember our brethren. He is a great soldier of Jesus. He was willing to go to a country that is hostile towards Christi and his people. May he continue to be strong and not allow them to break his spirit. Very soon the kingdoms of this world will become the kingdom of our Lord. Thanks be to God who give us the victory.

Thanks for posting.

Thank you, Ryan, for keeping us updated. It is greatly appreciated.

Blessings!
 
Thank you Claudya. I was unaware of this. I am not a U.S. citizen, but will spread this to any American friends I have.

2 Thessalonians 1

1 Paul and Silvanus and Timothy,


To the church of the Thessalonians in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: 2 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
3 We ought always to give thanks to God for you, brethren, as is only fitting, because your faith is greatly enlarged, and the love of each one of you toward one another grows ever greater; 4 therefore, we ourselves speak proudly of you among the churches of God for your perseverance and faith in the midst of all your persecutions and afflictions which you endure. 5 This is a plain indication of God’s righteous judgment so that you will be considered worthy of the kingdom of God, for which indeed you are suffering. 6 For after all it is only just for God to repay with affliction those who afflict you, 7 and to give relief to you who are afflicted]and to us as well when the Lord Jesus will be revealed from heaven with His mighty angels in flaming fire, 8 dealing out retribution to those who do not know God and to those who do not obey the gospel of our Lord Jesus. 9 These will pay the penalty of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord and from the glory of His power, 10 when He comes to be glorified in His saints on that day, and to be marveled at among all who have believed—for our testimony to you was believed. 11 To this end also we pray for you always, that our God will count you worthy of your calling, and fulfill every desire for goodness and the work of faith with power, 12 so that the name of our Lord Jesus will be glorified in you, and you in Him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
 
I will pray for this pastor and his family. I am not a US citizen either, but I pray my government will also stand up against this terrible persecution of a Christian man on bogus charges.

Matthew 5

10 “Blessed are those who have been persecuted for the sake of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

11 “Blessed are you when people insult you and persecute you, and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of Me. 12 Rejoice and be glad, for your reward in heaven is great; for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you.

43 “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ 44 But I say to you, love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45 so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven; for He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 If you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same? 48 Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

As difficult as it may be at times, keep the persecutors and the torturers of this man and all believers in prayer.
