Revelation 6:3-4 NCV When the Lamb opened the second seal, I heard the second living creature say, "Come!" Then another horse came out, a red one. Its rider was given power to take away peace (prosperity, rest) from the earth and to make people kill each other (butcher, slaughter, to maim violently, in streets), and he was given a big sword (assassins sword, terrorist, loud, mighty, sore afraid).
“They didn’t feed us much. I used to pass out a lot, but I would make trouble for him as much as possible and fight when I could,” a 15-year-old girl called Sara said. “Many times I thought of suicide but I kept thinking of my family and my brother. I lived only for them.”
Sara is one of a group of Yazidis captured by ISIS who were able to escape to safety in Iraq. She’s now speaking out about the conditions they experienced and the horrors of torment from their captors.
Sara, her brother, pregnant sister-in-law and other Yazidis were captured when trying to escape Sinjar. They had been hiding in a farmhouse.
Sara said all the women were loaded into trucks and then the terrorists gunned down all the men. Sara’s brother was among the men slaughtered.
She said she was sold to a pair of older ISIS terrorists who were living in a mansion taken from a local family. The men would regularly drain blood from her body; leaving her so weak she could barely handle daily activities such as eating or drinking.
She said that Christian women were forced to wear Muslim attire by the terrorist and were kept chained until they would renounce Christ and follow Islam.
Lord, Precious Father, Bring all the captives home to their families. Cut off ISIS from their headquarters on down!
Father God, in Jesus’ Name, I pray for the quick return to safety for all the captives. Turn this around for your Glory, God. And, do it in a way that will show that the outcome could only have come from you; let the captives fall to their knees rejoicing in your Mercy and Love, and their freedom. Let the captors fall to their knees in fear of you and repentance! Free your children and bind your enemies Lord, in Jesus’ Holy Name. Amen.
