She's a 17 year old fleeing for her life from her parents who are radical muslim. She has been a Christian for 4 years and it's considered an apostacy to her parents. She's currently in custody in florida and will appear in court again in December. There are many honor killings that many people are obviously not aware of in America. She is going to be killed if she goes back to her parents. Please pray for God's protection. If He wills for her to go back, that He'll give her the grace to stand and endure for the cause of Christ.
She'll be one of the many martyrs in America.
I'm truthfully afraid of what's going to happen to Christians here in America. I prayed today for God's grace on us to be able to endure. With Islam rising, and hostility towards Christians rising, the church must be prepared to go through persecution. Please take your time to pray for God's mercy on America or we too will soon be like Rifqa's case, where the government will not protect our freedom of religion and speech.. and will refuse to protect us.
1John 3:11-15
11This is the message you heard from the beginning: We should love one another. 12Do not be like Cain, who belonged to the evil one and murdered his brother. And why did he murder him? Because his own actions were evil and his brother's were righteous.13Do not be surprised, my brothers, if the world hates you. 14We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers. Anyone who does not love remains in death. 15Anyone who hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
Luke 12:4
4"I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more.
Luke 12:4 is my favorite verse. It's a good reminder to not be afraid of man, but be afraid of God who can kill the soul and the body. I need God's grace to help me persevere and stand firm even to the point of death.
