Last week I met with an Iranian named Shiraz, who was a Muslim and
is now a Christian. He wanted me to share this testimony with you.
He came to America as an exchange student during the Iranian revolution.
The family who hosted him are Christians, and they invited him to
their church. Shiraz was inspired and lifted up by the inspirational
music and the joy he saw in the people there, and within a few weeks
he made the decision to accept Isa (Jesus) as his savior.
Back in Iran, Shiraz's mother was very sick and had no access to
the medical treatments she needed. Miraculously, after a long struggle
to obtain a visa to leave the country, she was finally allowed to
come to the U.S.A. for treatment. An American doctor, who is a Christian,
gave her a free operation! Shiraz witnessed to her and gave her
a Bible in Farsi (Persian). She became a Christian, and smuggled
the Bible into Iran by sewing it inside her galabiya (Middle Eastern
dress). If she had been caught with it at the Iranian airport, she
would have been arrested immediately. At home in Iran, her husband
Mohammed read the Bible and was amazed by the stories of Isa (Jesus).
Mohammed employed an Iraqi Muslim man named Sami, who is a husband
and a father to 7 children. One day Sami was hit by a car while
crossing the street. He was taken to the hospital, where he later
died of his injuries. His body was put in the morgue, while the
hospital searched for a male relative to release the body to for
burial. Sami had no male relatives in Iran, so Mohammed went down
to the morgue with a group of friends to claim his body. Suddenly,
Mohammed heard a voice say, "Put your hands on Sami's body
and speak the name of Jesus." He was frightened by the voice,
and of the way his Muslim friends might react if he did it. He heard
the voice a second time, and this time he reluctantly put his hands
on Sami's body and spoke Jesus' name over him. Sami's body started
to move, and then he stood up! Mohammed's friends started to scream,
"Jin, jin!" (Arabic Islamic word for spirits), and ran
out of the room. Mohammed realized that he could be put in jail
for speaking the name of Jesus, as well as faking the whole event.
Immediately, he got an affidavit signed by the doctors on staff
and by his friends saying that they saw Sami was indeed dead. Mohammed
and Sami, along with their families and friends became Christians
as a result of this miracle.
