Glory and thanks be to God for testimonies to His mercy and intervention, though most stories are about deliverance, to the neglect of God's grace to endure and overcome challenges to faith and ability.

Note also that a profound experience of God's grace does not mean the recipients did not face further trials, nor that they all continued in grace, since true faith must be an overcoming one, thru the help of God..

I hope to post one of these testimonies daily for a time, though I do not have the time and energy to respond to much.

“It came to a point; I had to take my cross. You can’t serve two masters at the same time. So I stood up for my faith. He said, ‘If you don’t want to pray, then you have to leave by your own. I’m no more your father.’ It kind of a bad feeling.

“The love of Jesus is so big that it fills every empty space in your life. And even though my dad left, the love of God was so mighty that I was able to stand firm. He took care of me and so He will take care of whoever comes to Jesus.”

If the Spirit points toward Jesus, and Jesus points to the Father it passes the test. The focus of our thoughts should not be on the event (the dream) but the result of the event.

Many will read this and focus on the dream.

Some people pay a very high price for their faith.

We here in the US are very spoiled.

Keep in mind that when you leave Islam, you aren’t leaving a religion. You are leaving a culture and a family because it is viewed as a rejection of the group. Many practicing Muslims only follow the culture. We had a Muslim convert at our church. He couldn’t tell his parents because it would be insulting them.

A coworker was Muslim and he had only been to a mosque in the US one time. He lived in Appalachia and there are few mosques. His father took him but condemned them as “unbelievers” because it was a different sect. I can’t imagine saying you are a Muslim but you have only been to a mosque one time.
