Thoughts After Fellowshipping with Pakistani Christians (6 mins)

[@mikebland559]

Dear Mike, I agree 10000% with your comments. Aamir posted a link to this video. I was blessed to visit many of these same believers in Pakistan one year ago. I thought I would minister to them, but it was much the opposite. They are true heroes of the faith. I am will contact you via your website. I am praying that we can work together for the sake of the persecuted church. Go God!!

[@Micrahhh]

Voice of the martyrs is a great organization that helps Christians across the world suffering from persecution. Let us donate, fast and pray for our family across the world!

Thank You for sharing this video! I have the privilege to support the ministry of Voice of Christians with marketing efforts- many of the people you met were rescued or are supported by the ministry as well. Thank you for bringing awareness to this situation and sharing the blessings of the opportunities we have by working with them and for them. We are going to share your message with our supporters as well to encourage them!

This is jarring. I'm humbled just listening. TY, brother for sharing.

[@SOSPRED-fd4iv]

This is so encouraging to me. Hearing about million Christian converts, and how that number is only growing in a movement being pushed by God Himself, and hearing their suffering makes me go… I’m backsliding? God has given you so much. Focus in, the things of this world don’t matter. This thing is serious. There’s a war going on in the spirit realm. Don’t be caught unprepared, or let your guard down so the enemy can come against you.

Thanks Mike. Greetings from Scotland. Former medical missionary to Pakistan here. Very moving testimonies. Jesus Contradicted lying on my bookshelf ready to begin early 2025.

Thanks, Derek. Thanks for serving the Lord in Pakistan.

Thank you for sending me the book, Mr. Licona! ❤️❤️❤️

[@Rhtdms]

Thank you Mike 🎉

[@lcc9769]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I feel that in the West our isolation from persecution and our ease of life makes us forget how much some around the world suffer for Christ. An important and necessary reminder of our blessings and opportunities to pray for others.

[@veracityhill]

Thanks for sharing, brother Mike!

Praise our Savior for using you to proclaim His Name and glory

[@dfromcool]

Thanks you for sharing Michael. I was getting ready to read one of your books when this video popped up in my feed. I’m speechless 😢

[@MikeLiconaOfficial]

You're very welcome

[@juliescheving7951]

Weeping while listening…praying for the peace that only Christ can bring for these brothers and sisters. 🙏🏼 Thankful for biblical examples and these current examples of walking by faith. To God be the glory! And thank you, Mike, for your obedience to the call He has for you! While different than theirs, equally powerful because of our sovereign God!

[@lucianoprea7038]

My dear brother. Be blessed. I understand you very well.

For these reasons, I believe that Christians who have been given the gift of religious freedom will be held to a higher standard of stewardship. In a world where many are denied the basic right to worship freely, those who enjoy this privilege must not take it for granted. We are called to be voices for the voiceless, to stand in solidarity with the persecuted, and to work tirelessly to ensure that religious freedom is upheld for all. We have the unique opportunity and responsibility to advocate for those who face persecution and to use our freedom to support and uplift our brothers and sisters in Christ who suffer for their faith. Our stewardship involves prayer, spiritual support, and practical actions such as raising awareness, providing financial aid, and advocating for policy changes that protect religious freedoms globally. This higher standard of stewardship is a testament to our faith and a reflection of our commitment to living out the teachings of Christ in a tangible and impactful way.

[@MikeLiconaOfficial]

I agree with you wholeheartedly.

[@The-F.R.E.E.-J.]

It's true, no doubt, we just don't know how easy we have it here in the West but, they probably don't want to be referred to as heroes, as it is the love of their God which compels them.

[@Chriliman]

No one should harm others based on what they believe, religion doesn’t have to be involved for that to take place, but often times is, unfortunately.

[@damondansu2665]

More attention needs to be paid to Christians in these regions. I believe that these people live the biblical definition of persecution.

[@temmaxtemma9570]

Pakistan, Iran and Nigeria is making me an Islamophobe.

[@dissatisfiedphilosophy]

I hope those Christians can find an Orthodox priest.. Lord have mercy

[@oztheberean]

Well said.......The modern church here in the West is truly a sad representation. And yes I've been on mission trips outside of our country as well.

[@BUILDINGFUTUREX]

Thanks

[@vsr5557]

Sir, I have a doubt I didn't find any answers to on the internet, why did the women go to the tomb with spices and ointments? Especially after he was buried? Did they plan on removing Christ from the tomb annoint him again then put him back? People also say it's unclean to do that to dead bodies after being buried in Jewish tradition. Why would Roman soldiers allow them to enter the tomb? Would like your opinion. Thank you for your work. Regards from India

[@temmaxtemma9570]

It be difficult to live as non-muslim in Pakistan. I wish i could pray, but don't believe in god. Please be safe, Jesus followers. Nobody should ever be persecuted based on what they believe or do not believe.

[@dokidokibibleclub]

Would you like to join the family of God today? Here is a fun quiz to show you the difficulty joining God's family: Romans 4:5 But to him that worketh _____, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness. Which of these do you think completes the blank?: a little • a lot • not

[@1541965]

with all due respect Question for Christians about John 3:16 DID GOD SEND GOD TO CRUCIFY GOD TO SATISFY GOD ? Who is the ANTICHRIST satan evil the God of the Bible who KILLED INNOCENT Jesus on the cross in VIOLENT BARBARIC way in the name of LOVE and called him the CURSED ONE or the God of Islam ALLAH who saved Jesus from the crime of the cross in the name of LOVE and called him the BLESSED ONE ?

[@isphenomenal]

Read the verse again n slowly . N thrn read all of John slowly n carefully. U will get your answers

[@GáborKiss-o5n]

God did not satisfy God. God satisfied the justice of God for those who believe in Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. Those who do not believe, will experience God's wrath, like it or not. You can pray 10 times a day, but still you dont have a perfect sacrifice without blemish that can absolve all your sins. Jesus Christ was that sacrificial lamb. Genuine christians on the other hand have that sacrifice without blemish. His spirit lives inside them. I hope this answered your question.

[@pragmaticoptimist46]

With all due respect, how did the Q’ran exist eternally along with Allah?

[@1541965]

@@isphenomenal That doesn't answer my question. Thanks.

[@1541965]

@@GáborKiss-o5n You said God satisfied the justice of God? Do you call your God killing innocent Jesus in barbaric way on the cross against his will as justice? If killing innocent Jesus is justice for you define unjustice?

[@GáborKiss-o5n]

I hope you were not preaching the kenotic Jesus to them. The kenotic Jesus is a lie.
