Hebrews 11:1 Faith means being sure of the things we hope for and knowing that something is real even if we do not see it.
The wife of a pastor imprisoned in Iran for being a Christian says her husband’s ordeal has significantly strengthened her faith in Christ.
Naghmeh Abedini wrote for TrueWoman.com that she didn’t realize how selfish she had been with her life and her walk with Christ until her husband was jailed for simply being a follower of Christ.
“I finally learned how to fight my deceptive selfish flesh on a daily basis; every nag, tantrum, despairing thought, and fear,” Naghmeh writes. “Before Saeed was thrown into one of the world’s worst prisons, I struggled with fear and anxiety. More than anything, I was afraid of flying and speaking in front of people.”
Naghmeh says that on the day of her husband’s arrest, she felt the peace of God in a way she had never felt in her life to that point.
“The peace of God that surpasses all understanding covered my whole being, and I was freed of all fear. I no longer feared death of loved ones. I no longer feared the loss of finances or health. I no longer feared the future. I was truly free in Jesus,” said Naghmeh.
yes young lady, Christ frees us from all anxiety and fear…I know because as a 79 year old widow, I have not worried about finances, health or anything that the devil throws at me…Christ takes care of me…i had a vision one night of an angel sitting beside my bed and since that time, nothing can turn me away from the Lord
