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.”
Imprisoned pastor Saeed Abedini is finally receiving hospital treatment for internal injuries suffered at the hands of his captors in Iranian prisons.
Naghmeh Abedini told Faith Radio her husband is finally being given decent meals and pain medication to deal with this wounds. He had been transferred to a hospital from Rajai Shahr prison, called Iran’s deadliest prison.
However, Saeed reportedly still needs to undergo surgery.
Iran backed off and called a “mistake” their recent actions where they shackled Abedini and denied him any medical treatment. The reversal came after a worldwide outcry of abuse.
His lawyers with the American Center for Law and Justice say the Iranian guards are still blocking visitors.
Let us continue to PRAY for Saeed Abedini and his family – and even more so; for all other persecuted Christians in Iran and around the world.
We in America are NOT “used to” this kind – and level – of religious persecution; given that we are ALREADY “blessed” by God to have “inalienable rights” from our government, for “freedom of religious expression”, guaranteed to us citizens in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. So, if the TRUTH be told about ourselves, we Christians in America really DON’T “know” – EXPERIENTIALLY – just how awfully “bad” it REALLY is, for OTHER Christians who are SUFFERING such horrible “treatment” – even unto death, being martyred for the Faith of Christ.
So, therefore, I hereby, right now, humbly PROPOSE that we, in the United States, “pray” – NOT ONLY for other “suffering” Christians around the world, such as Saeed Abedini and his family themselves; BUT also, let us “pray” for even OURSELVES in America – and for “spiritual revival” amongst “The Government” and “The People” – and yes, pray even for “The Church” as well; given that, God forbid, we should LIKEWISE unexpectedly “see” awful days of religious persecution come upon us by “The State”; given the current ACCELERATION of gross “moral decadence” and OPEN hostility against “practicing Christians” in this great God-blessed country of ours.
