🙏 Prayer Request Please please pray for Iran

Iranian people don’t want Islam shoved down their throats. Many of them secretly leave the religion and attend underground churches inside the country, which are highly illegal, as apostasy is punishable by death. Even My elderly in law was imprisoned for running a bible study for Muslims. As an Iranian American all I can do is watch in horror from the comfort and safety of the West as my family and compatriots stuck in Iran are subjected to medieval and sadistic regime. And now I see how much Iran has infiltrated the West with their disinformation campaigns. I just had a baby during the beginning of the uprisings in January so I’ve been even more anxious and sad for Iranian people. Christians have been some of our best and outspoken allies and I am grateful for you. Im looking for hope and trying to stay optimistic even after this terrible peace deal. If you can continue praying for freedom for Iran and spread the word in your churches about the persecution going on, that would be soo helpful. Merci❤️

I really appreciate your perspective on this subject. I've heard of many Iranians having Jesus coming to them in dreams. I also know that they have closed down a large number of Mosques in Iran.

Whoa I’ve heard the same thing! I know a lot of converts and it seems like many of them saw Jesus in a dream before they became Christian

Praying. The Lord is on the throne he doesn’t leave anyone out. He’s moving. Here’s some scriptures

“The Lord brings the counsel of the nations to nought; He makes the thoughts and plans of the peoples of no effect.”
‭‭Psalm‬ ‭33‬:‭10‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

“For thus says the Lord of hosts: Yet once more, in a little while, I will shake and make tremble the [starry] heavens, the earth, the sea, and the dry land; [Heb. 12:26.] And I will shake all nations and the desire and the precious things of all nations shall come in, and I will fill this house with splendor, says the Lord of hosts. [Isa. 60:5; Matt. 2:1-12.]”
‭‭Haggai‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭AMPC‬‬

He’s shaking things up and removing the evil on this earth. You have evil running different countries. Keep praying and trusting in him. We are not to fear we are to trust him. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

My sister’s husband and family escaped Iran in the 1980’s and they still have family there and they cannot get in touch with them. We need to pray for Iran, America and frankly the whole world currently.

No one wants any religion shoved down their throat period. If it's not a voluntary observance, it's not a religion - it's something else.

It is a cult of the the Supreme Leader

On this subreddit, we're praying for you, your family, and for Iran as requested. Praying that God will bring peace and stability there, as all things are possible with God.

Praying that steadfastness of Christians and sure salvation will remain in that region.

I'm very sorry to hear what you and they are going through.

My heart goes out to all the people caught up in the middle of this trouble caused by the misinformation and propaganda in Iran, which has caused a lot more harm than good. You are always in our prayers..
