In America, it’s easy for us to forget what it really means to be persecuted for our faith—not just mocked or ridiculed, but threatened with death. In ISIS territory, followers of Jesus are forced to live this reality every single day. Still, thousands of radical conversions to Christianity continue to manifest in the Middle East in spite of the great risk.
“Jesus is appearing as a man in white,” says Bethel worship leader Sean Feucht. “In fact, our last few trips there, we don’t even do altar calls. I was there four times last year. We just say, ‘Hey, who’s seen a vision of a man in white?’ People just raise their hands.”
Feucht goes on to deliver the bone-chilling testimony of how an ISIS assassin was recently converted to Christianity, and it is living proof that nothing can contest with the mighty power of our God.
It all started when the Lord appeared to a Muslim man named Abraham in a refugee tent. He clearly spoke to the man saying, “You are going to be my evangelist. You are going to win millions of Muslims to Jesus.”
Shaken and spiritually awakened, Abraham left the camp with the bold mission to do just that, going anywhere and everywhere the Lord would send him. In fact, so many people were getting saved through his ministry that ISIS decided to put a hit out on his life, and they sent a Syrian assassin over to Iraq to kill Abraham.
In his greatest moment of ministry, fear began to consumer Abraham as he wrestled with the threats against him.
But after another miracle encounter with God, he was assured that his life was in God’s hands, not man’s.
Shortly after, the black-robed ISIS assassin came charging toward’s Abraham’s house with a knife in hand. When Abraham heard his assailant’s screams, instead of fleeing, he came out to confront him face-to-face. While staring death in the face, Abraham shouted as loudly as he could: “Jesus is going to set you free!”
