Iran's Jesus Revolution? Mosques Close as 1 Million Muslims Accept Christ

Iranians are growing tired of the Ayatollah and a nation led by the empty promises of their Islamic theocracy an anonymous internal poll found that 80% now prefer a democratic government and many are leaving Islam and you have a country with one of the highest drug addiction rates in the world you have a country where corruption runs rampant you have a country where more than half the people live below the poverty line and the people of Iran are looking at this and they're saying wait a minute if this is what Islam has brought us in the

last 45 years we're not interested we want to know what the other options are according to Todd Nettleton of the voice of the martyrs the faith option many are choosing is Jesus with at least a million Muslims reportedly leaving Islam for Christianity how's the regime reacting to this we've heard 50,000 of 75,000 mosques have closed and I'm sure they aren't accepting that very well this is not something that is making the regime happy and really in many ways they are seeking to solidify their power and to crush any kind of descent and and they certainly

see the growth of the church they certainly see Christian evangelism as a form of descent we've heard multiple stories this year of a Bible study a home Church being raid everyone there is photographed everyone there is questioned but then the leader of the meeting is held on to they are arrested they are main they're put in prison moreover Nettleton contends family members and friends are more tolerant than the government about leaving Islam they kind of have the attitude of hey if if you found something that works for you if it's Jesus or if it's atheism

or if it's whatever if it works for you I know Islam doesn't work so I I'm happy you found something that works well I think it's what's happening there is actually representative of what's happening in in the Islamic World Don shank serves as executive director of thep Ministry he explains how Muslims are experiencing dreams and Visions leading many to find purpose and a different understanding of God we get responses from listeners who say you know now I I understand that God loves me I always thought that God wanted to punish me and I think there's

there's a a an Awakening as I said that the taking place across the Muslim World shank states that tide Ministry radio broadcasts are receiving positive responses in Afghanistan where the Taliban posed great danger for those seeking information from Secret Christians within the country there's a lot of Suspicion okay if I'm going to meet with these people and share that I'm now a Believer are they really true believers or are they um just trying to identify me it's more than simply being ostracized or it disowned by your family it is actually the threat of death so

except accepting new life in Christ means accepting the possibility of your life ending in this world Christianity is also spreading in Yemen where the Joshua Project reports Christian growth is almost double the global average next door Nettleton sees the Saudi Arabian monarchy becoming a bit more tolerant of Christians and their churches not necessarily welcoming it with open arms obviously but just the understanding that that it could happen that there could be Christians here and and maybe that's not the worst thing in the world uh that's such a change from what we would have seen 10

or 15 or 20 years ago a move of God's spirit bringing change that may eventually transform not only Iran but the entire Middle East Gary Lane CBN News
