Yesterday I was exercising and listening to worship music, as I usually do. I do not remember what song was on; but I began to pray...to pray for Christians a world away who are dealing with very real physical persecution...from the hands of ISIS. I had read that morning that there was a young woman, 28-years-old, whose parents had received a confirmed word that their daughter was dead...I cannot imagine getting news like that...it is beyond understanding; obviously evil to its core...
The ISIS (they used to be Al Quada in Iraq and then they were defeated, but not destroyed) have been torturing and beheading Christians and other Americans in Iraq and Syria...
I began praying and literally crying on behalf of these people who are enduring such horrendous atrocities...I was reminded of Pastor Saeed Abedini who has been a prisoner in Iraq for at least two years.
The blood of the persecuted cries out...even so Lord, come!
