Bibledoorajar Prays for All Believers Being Persecuted

"We had placed so much hope on the fact that

there was one place in Iraq where Christians

could find security and a future. That place was Dohuk.

Sadly, the violence in the last few days, this hope is

now gone. People are petrified and saying 'what happens

to us now?'

Faith shines a light into darkness, hope into despair, gives 

a future where there is no future."

Compass Direct News Report on Persecution of Believers in Iraq

     Esther has heard the full report from Mordecai and is well aware of the steps he has taken at the capital city gates. He and Esther both know that if a decree comes forth to harm the Jews it will have to come from the capital city. The palace within that capital city has been a safe place for Esther, a place where she has flourished and matured. But now, her thoughts are not just for herself. Her people scattered throughout the kingdom are asking the question 'what happens to us now?'

     While some Christians note the subtle changes going on in this country to secularize religion, at this time we still have the right to assemble and worship as we see fit. It is a wonderful gift of God and this Christian takes a moment to intercede for all those believers worldwide who are asking the question, 'what happens to us now?' May their pursuit of the God of glory and all the gifts given them by the Son in His death not only continue but gain ground. May they have courage even in trying difficulties and may their faith arise in dark places. May God's will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Amen.
