Mark 13:13 “You will be hated by all because of My name, but the one who endures to the end, he will be saved.”
The plight of Christians in Iraq has reached the point that even Islamic broadcasters are unable to deal with the level of violence and hatred shown by the extremist group Islamist State of Iraq and Syria.
Nahi Mahdi was participating in a discussion on his show when the subject was brought up about Christians being forced from their homes and killed by the terrorists. Mahdi surprised his fellow panelists when he said that he had been crying that morning over the treatment of the Christians.
“They are our own flesh and blood,” Mahdi said. “Some of them have left for Sweden, for Germany. Who does (ISIS) think it is to drive out our fellow countrymen? They must take immediate measures to help these people.”
One of the other Muslim men on the show said Mahdi breaking down in tears showed the marks of “a true Iraqi.”
“Our country is like a rose,” Mahdi said. “And its petals are the Christians, the Arabs, the Kurds, the Sabians, the Shabak people…these are all our countrymen.”
When I asked the Lord how to pray about all this his words to me were, pray for the eyes of the enemy to be opened. So this is how I will continue to pray.
Thank you for posting this. God is the only One who can stop this violence. It is encouraging to see God reach the hearts of the Iraqis. It is proof that prayers are moving things, now on to the salvation of the terrorists around the world. Keep praying!
