Luke 21:12 “But before all this, they will lay hands on you and persecute you. They will deliver you to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors, and all on account of my name.
The wife of jailed American pastor Saeed Abedini was praising God at an appearance before the watchdog group International Christian Concern.
“The Lord has counted our family worthy enough to send Saeed to a dark place that he would be able to share with people who are in complete despair,” Naghmeh Abedini said.
She said that while her husband had been in prison there have been many prisoners who have given their hearts to the Lord.
“This has been very hard, but spiritually it is the best time in my life. I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” she said. “My new reality forced me out of my self-consumed life. I realized I had a right to speak out for those who are being silenced, to speak for the Christians, for the Jews, for the Baha’i, and other fellow human beings who are being imprisoned simply because of their beliefs.”
The family’s lawyers with the American Center for Law and Justice said that Pastor Abedini is still in an Iranian prison but the authorities are still denying potentially life-saving surgery.
Mary..I agree…AMEN!
May the Lord and Savior of us all bless Naghmeh Abedini and her family as well as Pastor Saeed as they are going through this terrible time in their life. We must all lift them up in our prayers daily and for Pastor Abedini get the medical care he needs and for him to be brought back home to his family. Nothing is impossible with God he can do all things we must ask and believe that it will be done in Jesus name.
