Transformative Encounters: Love, Unity, and Divine Revelation

Sermon Summary

The sermon begins with a heartfelt prayer for protection and divine revelation for Isaac and the entire world. The pastor echoes Abraham's prayer for Ishmael, asking for dreams, visions, and an impartation of love and forgiveness to the hurting Muslim world. He shares a promise from Jesus, stating that he will manifest himself to those who seek him. He gives an example of a member of Hezbollah who experienced a transformation from hatred to love after an encounter with Jesus. The pastor encourages the congregation to ask Jesus to show up for them, to save them and forgive them, assuring them that if they pray with all their heart, Jesus will answer.

The pastor then shares his personal testimony of transformation from an Iranian ex-Hezbollah fighter to a follower of Jesus Christ. He narrates his journey from being on a mission to convert Christians to Islam to being arrested and put in jail in Malaysia. Despite being a dedicated Muslim, he felt a deep sense of unworthiness and realized that he was not just or holy. In a moment of desperation, he cried out for forgiveness and experienced a profound encounter with Jesus. This encounter with Jesus completely transformed his perspective, likening it to seeing colors again after being colorblind.

The sermon then shifts to the importance of love and unity among different religious groups, specifically addressing the issue of hatred and anger in the hearts of some Muslims towards Jews. The pastor confesses to having harbored hatred towards Jews, not because of personal experiences, but due to the influence of Satan. He shares a personal story of a man named Aen, who promotes friendship between Persians and Jews, and found himself caught in the middle of a war when Hamas launched an attack. Aen and his wife pray for Sasha, a woman whose sister had been kidnapped by Hamas, and invite her to dinner, demonstrating their support for the Jewish people and the right of Israel to exist. The sermon concludes with a prayer for the revelation of Jesus Christ among Muslims and the sons of Ishmael, as well as a plea for God's protection.

"I pray today that the revelation of Jesus Christ would go forth amongst the Muslims and the sons of Ishmael.

"Even though I had kept all the rules and regulations of Islam, I knew I'm not just and I'm not holy. I knew the only just thing for him to do is to kill me."

"I never thought the way is a person, the truth is a person, and life is a person, and all of them is the same person. So I said, I don't understand, what is your name? I said Jesus Christ and someone grabbed all my bones out of my body. I just fell like a piece of meat to the ground and I just began to weep."
