"My people are destroyed
for lack of knowledge
" (Hosea 4:6)
To Muslims and other
unbelievers:
Dear Ishmaelite,
Thank you for
taking the time to read my testimony of conversion, even thought it probably didn't make
you feel pleased, but rather uncomfortable, offended or humiliated since it goes against
your belief and convictions and against your forefather's religion, culture and
traditions. By now, you may have already scoffed at, insulted or cursed me in your heart.
You may have heard a loud voice in your mind urging you over and over again to stop
reading, not to believe any of my words and not to think about it anymore or perhaps
urging you to retaliate and to attack me for what I said!
Before you judge and react toward my
testimony, please pause for a moment and reason: Why do you think I am sharing with you
this and what benefit would I ripe from stirring up your emotions against me? Why am I
causing troubles for myself, troubles that would cause me persecution and even death?
Think also about what benefit would you really gain from any over emotional reaction that
you're feeling. Do you truly believe that it is your duty to react? And for what reason
you think you have to take revenge? Am I attacking you or insulting you? No, instead I am
actually putting my life at risk so that you might be spared. I am speaking out because I
don't want you to die in ignorance and regret it for eternity that no one has told you. I
am sorry for the offences that my words may have caused you, but believe me, it is better
for you to get offended and sorrowful now while God's grace is still at hand. So, don't
miss your chance and don't let the enemy fool you by keeping you away from the gift that
God has for you, the gift of life in Him through Jesus Christ, the only Lord and Savior
and who is God.
Even though I am sharing the truth
and accordingly to how God personally revealed and manifested it to me, I am not asking
you to naively believe me and follow the path I walking in. Instead, I am encouraging you
to question, doubt and investigate about every spiritual matter and about every teaching
you have received about religion and God. I am urging you to start from a neutral point
and to use your mind not emotions in reasoning and analyzing those matters. I am saying
so, because there are many voices in the world who claim to have the answers and solutions
you need and look for. But actually they are nothing but lies and deceptions they use to
trap and to chain you so that they can enslave and use you as their puppet.
In other words, the purpose of my
testimony and my duty is not to attempt to convert you from a religion to another but to
point you directly to God, your Creator and only true Redeeming Savior. I want you to know
that God is able to speak to you if you only open your ears to hear. He wants to develop a
personal and an intimate relationship with you and not through some assumed intermediaries
who actually only speak of and for themselves and whose interests is to keep you away from
Him. He wants you to walk with Him step by step as Abraham and Peter did and not by
following others who seek their own destructive ways. In fact the reason why God created
you in His image and breathed into your nostrils His Spirit, is that you can commune and
interact with Him on a basis of one to one. I also want to let you know that God is
interested in you as the person you are, in the way He wonderfully made you already. He
unconditionally loves you as his son in whom He dillies and for whom He has in store His
most precious gift and an everlasting inheritance for free. Therefore, hurry up and ask
Him. You don't have be afraid or to worry about your appearance and shape. He can meet you
wherever you are!
One last thing, bellow in the next
chapter, there is an open invitation for you to attend the greatest party ever held. I
hope to see you there and maybe your friends and family too!
May the Lord God
Most High, the Almighty Creator of heaven and earth, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob,
lead you into His path of truth and everlasting life.
To Christians:
Dear Brother or Sister in Christ,
Thank you for taking the time to
read my testimony. I pray that you were blessed, your faith was strengthened, your spirit
was lifted and Christ the Lord's name was glorified through it.
Because of the crucial time we live
in, deceptions that are increasing, false prophets who are shouting and saints who are
falling, I thought about reminding you of some Scriptures that may help you to overcome
whenever a wolf comes to you and to try shake, rob and destroy! Please take some extra
time to meditate on and to take to heart and mind the messages that are in the verses
bellow (see chap. "Important Bible Verses..."). Those verses are actually my
main message for you my fellow companions in the present tribulations and the worst ones
still to come!
Keep your eyes always focussing on
the Lord, your ears open to hear His voice of guidance, and your feet walking in His path
to the end. Prayerfully wait upon Him until He comes. And especially, let no one to shake
your faith and fool you with his crafty deceptions. As the Lord commanded, be shrewd as a
serpent, but gentle as a dove. And as Paul urged, be wise in what is good, and innocent in
what is evil. And the God of peace will soon crush Satan and his worshippers under your
feet.
May the Lord give us a spirit of
soberness, discernment and wisdom. May His love and grace abide in us always until He
comes to deliver us from our enemies. Amen.
