And we're going to be at the AT&T conference. It's going to be a fantastic time. Parents, if you're not registered, your kids, please do that. Claremore's with us today. Give Claremore a great big hand. Welcome, guys, for joining us. We're excited that you're here this morning. Very special day. Way back in 2014 Glen got a hold of a book. And literally from that time till now. We've been trying to get at least one of the authors of that book. To be with us. We've sold it in a bookstore since then. Called Captive in Iran. And I've listened to the audiobook recently. And it was fantastic. I just encourage you to pick it up. It's available out there. And she's written another book as well. That will be available after the service. But we just trust in the providence of God. At the right time. To be able to speak to us today. Being held in an Iranian prison. One of the worst prisons in the entire world. For nine months. And her and her friend and Jonathan. I'm just excited to have her with us today. The boldness. As you read the book. You're struck by the boldness. Of the witness for Christ. Sentenced to death. And then miraculously released. How many of you know we serve an awesome God? And she's gonna come and share with us today. And obviously Iran has been in the news a lot. Recently as well. So I'm just excited for the impartation. Now I told her I might mess her name up. But I've been practicing it, okay? For a long time. Will you guys give a great big Destiny Life welcome? To Maria. I should have never mess. I should have never said it. Marzia Amirzadeh. There you go. Amirzadeh, yes. Amirzadeh. There we go. Welcome. Thank you for being with us. We're excited to have you. Let us pray. Father, we come to your presence. At this time. And we ask you to talk to our hearts. Through the power of the Holy Spirit. And help us to get closer to you. And to understand your will. In our lives. In Jesus' name. Amen. Thank you so much. Pastor Glenn. And your amazing church. For inviting me. And giving me this great opportunity. To share my story with you. I usually say at the beginning. That whatever I'm going to share. God used me for a purpose. And whatever happened to me. In my life. There was a purpose behind it. And I always say I give all the glory to God. Because he's the only one. Who deserves the glory. I will start with briefly to share about Iran. About my testimony. I wrote two books. Pastor mentioned that. My first book is Captive in Iran. Which is all about my imprisonment. With my friend. For almost nine months. Being in prison. And how Jesus made lots of miracles. Among prisoners. During the time we were there. And my second big book. A Love Journey with God. Which is about my journey with Jesus. Since 1999. That I gave my heart to Jesus. And I shared lots of dreams and visions. That God gave me. From the beginning of my faith. And also describing. How it is like. To live in an Islamic country. Especially as a woman. So I encourage you to read these books. Not because it's my books. It's a lot of information. That can help and educate. You and your children. To better understand. What is true Islam. And how it is like. Living under Sharia law. And also as I mentioned. I mentioned lots of stories. Of my journey with Jesus. That how he built my faith. On himself. And helped me to build a personal relationship. With him. Because if you do not have. A personal relationship. A strong relationship with him. We can't do anything. And it's just practicing religion. So for me. It started at a very young age. That I was searching the truth. Because when you believe. That you were born in Iran. You have to be a Muslim. There is no freedom of religion. There is no choice. And as soon as you were born. They filled the documents for you. And you became a Muslim. Without your permission. But I was searching the truth. From my childhood. I had a great relationship. With my father. And my parents always taught me. About loving others. Respecting others. And there was no teaching. Of Islamic rules at home. We were not devout Muslims. Like millions of Iranians. They are just nominal Muslims. And as I mentioned. It's by force in public. When you go to school. When you go to university. When you wanted to get a job. You have to follow their rules. Otherwise you will lose your benefit. But as I mentioned. From my childhood. I was thirsty. To find the truth. And I was questioning a lot. And my father would answer. My questions as much as he could. But when you go to school. It starts at the age of seven. That you see. A system of brainwashing. That indoctrinate children. From a very young age. And I remember we had a class. That they called it Koran class. And in that class. It was all about the teachings of Koran. And describing to kids. Different kinds of tortures. If it disobeyed Islamic rules. And also teaching about. That how we need to practice. Those Islamic rules. Every day in the morning. Before going to classes. They forced kids to stand in line. To say death to America. Death to Israel. Many of us had no idea. Why we should say that. Like as I mentioned. In my home. My parents never taught me. These kind of things. So I had a lot of questions. From my childhood. At schools. At those classes. Which would make my teachers. Angry of my questions. Because I asked for example. Why I have to talk to my God. In Arabic. My language is Farsi. Why I have to bend in front of Him. Just at specific times of the day. Like a king. Why I have to cover myself. But they always told me. You have to obey the Islamic rules. Until God to be satisfied with you. So I was so desperate. Imagine growing up in that country. But before I continue. I wanted to share that. It's very. When you live in Iran. An Islamic country. The indoctrination System. It's not just at school. In public. You have to follow the Islamic rules. I remember. As a woman. I always had so much stress. Walking in the streets. Because they would. They had police officers. They called it morality police. With a big van. And they would arrest women. For crazy reasons. For example. Having nail polishes. Or having part of our hair. Out of our scarf. Or having. Having a short coat. For whatever reason. They would. Sometimes beaten up women. In the Streets. In front of others. And put them in the Van. To take them to a jail. So from my very young Age. I had always so much stress. Living in that Country. Under the harsh Rules of Islam. At the School. As I mentioned. They forced children. To Practice these Islamic rules. Every day. They Forced us to stand in Line. And Practice Islamic prayers. Which we wouldn't like it. And every Month. They would Invite Clerics. To the Schools. And that Clerk's. His Job was to justify. To Students. Why America and Israel. Are our enemies. And must be Destroyed. So these are Dangerous Systems. That it's all about Hate. It's all about punishment. And there is a Truth. About Islam. That Islam is not religion of Peace. At all. Period. If anyone tells you. That Islam is Religion of Peace. They are telling Lies. And it's for their Benefits. But that Doesn't Mean. That all Muslims are Terrorists. Like in Iran. Millions of Iranians. They have to be Born there. And we call them Muslims. Millions of them. Do not Practice Islam. They don't know. What is True Islam. Because they never Read Quran. They were Forced to Practice That. So that's the Point. And it's not just me Saying That. If you Read the Book of Quran. Which I started Reading That. Because I was Searching the Truth. At a very Young Age. When I was a Teenage. I was so Desperate. To Find the Truth. And I started Reading Quran. I started Praying Namaz. Islamic prayers for Two Years. In Order That God. To show Himself to me. But it never Happened. It was just Practicing Nonsense. Arabic Words. But at Least it Opened My Eyes. To Many Truths. By Finding a Farsi Translation. Of the Book. Reading Quran. If you Read that. You Can See There Are Many Verses. In the Book of Quran. That it's About Hate. I Have a bunch of Verses Here. That you Can See Later. I'm not Going to Read All Of Them. But it's From Each Book Of The Quran. That Encourage Muslims. To Slay Unbelievers. Whenever You Find Them. Muslims Must Not Take Infidels. As Friends. Any Religion Other Than Islam. Is Not Acceptable. Maim and Crucify The Infidels. If They Criticize Islam. Terrorize Them. Slay Them. Make War Against Them. A Lot Of Crazy Verses. That it's About Hate. Against Infidels. And Who Are Infidels? Infidels. All of Us. In The Eyes Of Radical Muslims. Are Infidels. It's Not Just About Israeli People. Jewish People. Because There Is A Teaching. At School. That They Believe That Jews Are Demons. And The State Of Israel. Must Be Annihilated. They Teach At Schools. The Map Without Showing The State Of Israel. So I Grew Up In This System. But Like Me. Millions Of Iranians. Praise God. They Had Good Teaching. At Home. With Their Parents. Who Hate Islam. Who Hate Practicing Islamic Rules. And That Couldn't Impact Their Children. But Still. We Are The Kids. Like It Influenced My Brothers. If You Read My Second Book. A Love Journey With God. We Never Practiced Islamic Rules At Home. But My Brothers. Seeing Their Friends. Around Themselves. As A Male Dominated Society. That's Why They They Wanted The Same Behavior. Towards Me. As A Girl. As A Woman. Which My Story. My Whole Life Story. Is More Similar. I Usually Say. To Joseph's Story In The Bible. Which My Father. In That Male Dominated Society. He Loved Me. He Respected Me. He Protected Me. And That Created. A Hatred Against Me. By My Brothers. Which Caused Me. To Go To Poverty. And Many Hardships. And I Had To Separate. From My Family. But I'm Saying That. Sometimes You Know. It Affect The Children. And My Brothers. Got That Influence. From The Children. Which Their Teachings. Are Growing Up In That Society. But When I Was. Searching The Truth. I Could Not Find It In Islam. And Finally God Showed Himself. His Amazing Love To Me. And The Truth. About Islam. In A Dream. It Started With A Dream. That I Shared In Both My Books. You Can Read The Details. We Don't Have Much Time. To Share All The Details. But It Started With A White Horse. In My Dream. That He Came. And He Showed God's Amazing Love. And The True Face Of Islam. To Me. Which Was Shocking To Me. Because It Was The First Time. That I Could Experience God's Love. In My Life. Through That Dream. And It Really Changed My Life. And After That I Decided Not To Practice. Those Islamic Rules Anymore. And Just You Know. Talking To Him. Like A Father. To Me. And A Few Years Later. One Of My Friends. Who Has Converted To Christianity. She Shared About Jesus. For The First Time. Which I Was Very Curious. I Got The Bible. I Started Reading. I Never Heard That Jesus. Is The Son Of God. And I Had Again. I Had Lots Of Questions. And I Started Praying. I Started Asking God. To Show Me The Truth. About Jesus. If He Is Truly The Truth. I Didn't Want To Ask. Just To Accept Something. Because You Know. It Was Just Different. And God Started Communicating. With Me Through My Dreams. And Visions. You Can Read A Lot Of Dreams. That God Communicated With Me. Through Those Dreams. And Showing Himself To Me. And The Miracles Started Happening. And I Could See. That There Is A Truth In Jesus. But The Day That Really. Changed My Life. I Never Forget. I Gave My Heart. To Jesus. But That Day I Was In My Room. I Was Praying To God. And I Was Just Talking To Him. That I Want To I Don't Want To Have. Any Doubts About You. Because I Was Reading Bible. Some Parts Of That I Had Questions Like. What Is The Holy Spirit. And I Was Baptized By. The Fire Of The Lord. And The Fire Came On Me. And I Started. My Hand Raised Up. I Started Worshipping Him. With Other Languages. That I Never Learnt In My Life. But I Could Fully Understand. What I Was Telling To God. At That Time. And I Was Crying. Because It Wasn't On My Control. It Was So Powerful. And I Could Feel The Presence. Of God All Around Myself. And While I Was Praying. For A Few Seconds. Quickly God Gave Me. An Amazing Vision. That I Could See Jesus. Right In Front Of Myself. In White Robe. And Beside Him. There Was A Golden Throne. A Huge Golden Throne. I Could Not Believe My Eyes. What I Was Seeing. And What I Was Experiencing. At That Time. And The Middle Of My Forehead. Was Burning. Like Someone Sealed Me. A Big Circle Was Burning. So Hot. And I Felt. The Presence Of God. All Around Myself. And It Took For Hours. And Hours. I Was Keep Worshipping Him. And Singing To Him. And That Was The First Time. Ever In My Life. That I Had Such An Amazing Experience. With Jesus. And I Dedicated. After That I Apologized. I Asked Forgiveness. For All My Doubts. Some Parts Of You Know. The Bible. And I Dedicated My Whole Life. To Jesus. And I From The Beginning. I Was So Thirsty. To Follow Him. To Share This Message. With Others. And I Always Say. That The Reason That I Follow Jesus. It's Not Because Of Fear. Of Going To Hell. It's Not Because Of Practicing. A Religion. It's Because Of Love. Because I Am In Love. With Him. And He Showed His Amazing Love. To Me First. And Since Then I Was On Fire. I Wouldn't Care. Where I Was Living. In A Dangerous Country. I Would Share The Message. With My Friends. With My Family Members. With A Lot Of People. Without Fear. Because I Wouldn't Care. About My Life. And I Always Say. That Remind Me. The Words In The Book Of Mark 12 Verse 32-31. That The Greatest Command. That Jesus Tells Us. Love Your God. With All Your Heart. All Your Mind. All Your Soul. And Strength. And Then Love Jesus. Your Neighbors. When I Think About. My Life Story. The First Verse. Was That Love Your God. With All Your Heart. With All Your Mind. And With All Your Strength. And It's Not Like That. That I Tell God. I Love You. And I'm Done. No. There Is A Instruction For That. That In There Are Other Verses. In Bible. That God Tells Us. How To To Follow Him. He Tells Us. You Need To Pick Up Your Cross. And Follow Me. Every Day. There Is A Verse In Matthew 10. That Verse 37-39. That He Says. Anyone Who Loves Their Father Or Mother. More Than Me. Is Not Worthy Of Me. Anyone Who Loves Their Son And Daughters. More Than Me. Is Not Worthy Of Me. Whoever Does Not Take Up Their Cross. And Follow Me. Is Not Worthy Of Me. Whoever Finds Their Life. Will Lose It. And Whoever Loses Their Life. For My Sake. Will Find It. So There Is An Instruction. For That. So We Can't Put Anyone. Above Jesus In Our Lives. And God Took Me To Different Tests. In My Life. If You Read My Second Book. My Life Story. You See. It's Not Just I Went To Prison. Before I Go To Prison. God Took Me To Many Trials. Because I Said I Love You. And I Wanted To Follow You. And He Tested Me. With My Loved Ones. He Totally Separated Me From Them. And I Said God Take It. I Follow You. And He Took My World. Everything I Had. He Tested Me. And I Said Yes Lord. I Still Follow You. And It's It's A Big Test. But It's A Very Sweet Journey. And We Walk With Jesus. And I Found. It At The Beginning. Maybe I Could Not. I Was Crying. I Was Complaining. Why All These Horrible Things Happening. To Me. But Over The Time. I Understood. How Sweet Is That Walking With Jesus. And That's Why I Called My Pains And Suffering. Sweet Pains. And Sufferings. Because Of All Those Pains And Losses. And Get Closer To Him. So We Should Always Put Him First. In Everything. If You Truly Wanted To Be A Follower. Of Jesus. And The Second Lesson Is To Love Your Enemies. That's Very Simple. When We Say That. We Are Persecuting You. So If We Do Not Build That Strong Relationship With Jesus. Which Is The First Verse. Loving God. We Are Not Able To Go To The Second One. Second Command. And Love Others. And God Taught Me All These Things. In My Life. By Taking Me To All These Difficulties. And Sufferings. It Wasn't That I Went To A Church. And I Learned From A Church. That's Amazing To Be At The Church. To Have A Fellowship. But What's Happening Behind The Scene. In Our Private Church. Became A Christian. I Went To Lots Of Trips. Many Horrible Things Happened To Me. I Had To Leave The Family. I Experienced Poverty For Years. And I Understood What Is Poverty. I Grew Up In A Wealthy Family. I Just Wanted To Graduate. And To Continue Our Life. Have A Happy Life With Me. But Unfortunately. They Ruined That For Him. For Accusation Of Drinking Wine. He Got 80 Lashes. And Then He Tortured Him. To Terrible Things. They Did To Him. And Finally As A Man. They Ruined My Story. My Husband's Story Is Just One Story. One Example. That I'm Standing Here To Share With You. And I'm Sure You See The News. You Read The News. That What's Going On In Iran. Right Now. That How Brutally This Evil Regime. Is Radical Muslims. Killed Thousands Of Tens Of Thousands Of Iranians. They Just Came To The Street. They Protest. But They Shoot At Them. And Killed Over The News Says Over 40,000 Iranians. But Believe Me. We Executed Every Day. They Went To The Hospitals. And Shot At The Forehead. Of Those Who Were Injured. During The Protest. They Arrested The Nurses. And Doctors. And Tortured Them. Some Of The Nurses. They Shared Their Voices. She And Her Husband Allowed The Protesters To Come To Their Home. She Was A Nurse. She Knew That She Could Not Treat Those Injured Protesters. That's Why They Would Treat Them At Their Home. And The Government Find Out. Raided Their Home. They Arrested Her. They Tortured Her. And After Killing Her. Under Torture. They Rapist Her. Gang raped Her. And Send The Photos To Her Husband. And Her Husband Could Not Bear That. And He Committed Suicide. After That. So These Are Things. Real And It's Happening In Iran. And I'm Here To Share My Story. Of What Is Happening In Iran. But I Continued My Journey With Jesus. I Was Following Him. I Was So Thirsty. I Went To Turkey In 2005. I Wanted To Learn More About Christianity. And After Attending Some Classes. Leadership And Theology Classes. I Returned To Iran With My Friend. And We Started Our Mission In 2005. And We Didn't Know What To Do. We Just Prayed. And God Started Talking To Me. Through Bible. And He Showed Me. Iran Needs Bible. Because You Can't Find Bible In Any Bookstores. And I Called The Ministry. We Asked Them To Send Thousands Of Bibles. To Smuggle Them To Iran. And We Received Them. And Every Time We Would Receive A Few Thousand. And We Started Distributing Those Bibles In Iran. We Bought A Huge Map Of Tehran. And Every Night We Would Carry The Bibles In Our Backpack. And Going To Iran. Times We Were So Close To Get Arrested. But We Knew That God Is With Us. Because Many Times That We Were So Close To Get Arrested. God Would Do A Miracle. And Save Us. And We Could See With Our Eyes. That It's The Power Of God With Us. And We Were So Close To Get Arrested. But God Saved Us. And Still We Were You Know. Running Home Churches. Inviting People To Our Home. Having Bibles Studied. Worshiping Together In Secret. And Finally Some People Are Reported About Us. And We Got Arrested In 2009. And That Started The Journey With The Second. Second Verse I Mentioned. How To Love Your Enemies. And Those Who Persecute You. I Learned That Lesson In That Prison. So From The Beginning. They Treated Us Like Animals. And They Called Us Dirty Christians. For Months. Because In The Eyes Of Radical Muslims. If You Convert From Islam To Any Other Religion. You Are Infidel. And Dirty. And They Kept Us For The First 14 Days. In The Most Horrible Jail. That We Had. I Had A Conversation With The Judge. Because From The Beginning. They Told Us We Will Execute You By Hanging. Because You Are. Your Charge Is Apostasy. And Our Biggest Charge Was Apostasy. Which Is Punishable By Death. Under Sharia Law. And I Was Shocked. And I Told The Judge. Are You In Your National TV. That For Everyone To See. That How You Kill People. Innocent People. Just Because Of Being A Christian. And Also I Mentioned To Him. That You Are Not Fighting Against Us. You Are Fighting Against A God. Who Is Behind Us. And He Will Give Us The Victory. And He Got So Mad. And That Was The Reason. That He Decided To Keep Us In That Horrible Jail. That Usually They Keep Prisoners For Maximum Four Days. Because It's Very Hard To Be In That Place. And After Four Days. They Decide If They Go To Prison. To Talk That Way. They Usually Want Prisoners To Break Them. To Cry. And To Beg. But It Didn't Happen. And I Say That It Wasn't Like That. I Was A Very Courageous Person. That I Was Able To Stand In Front Of These Evil People. To Talk To Them That Way. It Wasn't Just At The Court. In Each Court. I Was Talking To Them With An Authority. But My Body Was Shaking. I Had So Much Fear. Physically. I Could Feel It. And That Would Remind Me The Worst In Bible. That Jesus Told Us. Whenever You Got Arrested. Don't Worry About What To Say. Just Open Your Mouth. And The Power Of The Holy Spirit. Will Talk To You. And I Experienced That. That God Didn't Want Us. Didn't Want Me To Look Weak In Their Eyes. Even Though I Had So Much Fear. That's What We Can Tell That We Should Never Turn Our Cheek To Evil. God Taught Me To How To Pray For Them. Not To Insult Them. As Christians. We Need We Are Not Supposed To Be Like Them. But At The Same Time. God Wanted To Us To Be Strong. And Never Turn Your Cheek To Evil. They Told Me. We Will Cut. Because We Were Talking To A Lot Of Prisoners About Our Faith. And They Threatened Me About Religion. Which I Told Them. That It's Islam. That Brainwashed You. Brainwashed Iranian People. Why All These Youth. Instead Of Being In The Universities. Are In Prisons. I Told Them. That Even If You Cut My Tongue. I Will Find A Way. To Talk To People. There Are Other Ways. I Can Talk To Them. So When I Was Saying These Kind Of Things. Honestly. Sometimes I Would Hear My Voice. And I Was Telling Myself. You Are In A Big Trouble. But I Couldn't Control The Way I Was Talking To Them. Even Though I Could Feel The Fear. And Shaking In My Whole Body. Having So Much Stress. And Later After That Jail. They Send Us To Prison. Innocent People. And I Witness First Hand. The Brutality Of This Regime. Against Lots Of Innocent People. In That Prison. I Shared Lots Of Stories. In My Books. That You Can Read About That. That How They Rape. Innocent Women. Who Walked. My Whole Body Was Frozen. The First Time. They Intentionally Send Me To One Of The Souls Of Murderers. And Then They Took One Prisoners. After I Building The Friendship. And Executed Her. And That Was My First Experience. Of How Easily They Can Kill People. And Later They Killed One Of My Best Friend. Which I Made A Build The Friendship From The Beginning. For Nine Months. And That Was Still After Years. I Have That Trauma With Me. She Was An Amazing Girl. They Tortured Her For Months. Terrible Tortures. Is Hard For Me To Describe That. Because I Don't Want To Cry. And Finally They Hanged Her. They Didn't Give Her Body To Other Prisoners. They Usually Do That. During These Protests. Many Families Could Not Get Back Their. The Body Of Their Loved Ones. They Charge Them Thousands Of Dollars. In Order To Give Their Body. They Charge For The Bullet That They Shoot At Their Children. And For Women. They Usually Do Not Shoot That. If We Execute Them As A Virgin. They Will Go To Heaven. And We Need To Avoid That. So These Are Real. These Are Not Stories. My Friend Shirin Alam Holy. She Was A Kurdish Girl. 27 Years Old. That They Did To Her. This Is The Stories Of Many Women Who Live In Iran. Are Because Of Lots Of International Pressures On The Regime. I Was Lucky. Because Many Christians Started Advocating For Our Case. International Organizations Got Involved. At That Time. It Was Pope Benedict. Not This Pope. That He Send The Letter To The Government. That Help Us To Get get released. I witnessed many brutalities. They kept us in solitary cells for 40 days. Every day I would hear the voice of other prisoners being tortured and begging, crying. And still I have those psychological traumas with me, especially these days when I open the news. Every day when I see the execution of another person, tens of young people, that remind me all my traumas. And almost every day I'm living in that trauma. My people are fighting against the most dangerous people every day. And they made a mistake in 1979, how it started, how it happened. Because a minority group in Iran, who were university students, they were brainwashed by radical Muslims, by Marxism. They came to the streets, they looted, rioted, and they supported the fanatic Muslim Khomeini come to power. And as a result of that, we lost our freedom for years, for more than 47 years. And still they are suffering. And now Iranian people, as a result of all those brutality that every day they experience in their lives, now God had a purpose to open their eyes, to show them the true face of Islam and this Islamic regime. And now they are turning their back to this regime. I just shared today, yesterday, a film I found that people started, Iranian people started throwing a ton of Koran in the river. They are throwing away, they are turning their back to Islam. I talked to a lot of Iranians. I evangelized a lot of them. I never had a bad experience of my people. They are so thirsty for the truth. They don't want Islam in their lives. What's happening in our country, in Western countries, is so scary. They are rejecting Islam. They are fighting against Islam and this Islamic regime, and the West is embracing that. Through immigration, through allowing the agents of this regime to come to your country, infiltrate in politics, education, media, everywhere, to brainwash your children, to replace your great values, Christian, our Judeo-Christian values, with Islamic values. I always tell people the danger of an ideology, radical ideology, a dangerous ideology like Islam, is worse than missiles and bombs. Why? Because it infects the whole society, little by little, like a virus, it will spread, and you will wake up and you see you lost your freedom, you lost your country, and it stays for a long time. And it's happening in the United States of America. And we need to wake up. That scares me. Through politics, they try to create words like Islamophobia to close the mouths of people, not to talk the truth. They cannot close the mouth of people like me. I lived that, have Islamotrauma in my life. When I see the films, how they brainwashed targeted American youth, that scares me. That brings traumas to me. Wow, I escaped that. I came to America. Now I see the same thing is happening in America. When I was coming to America, I was thinking, I'm... moving to a Christian country. President Trump, just a few days ago, nation under God, not Muhammad. That's the truth. This great country was founded by our founding fathers based on Christianity. Jesus is the foundation of America. And we are losing that because the enemy has targeted that. They know it. I grew up with that. I grew up with their teachings that they were saying that we will destroy America within by infiltrating in your country, in your system, and even in your churches to take away these great values of your country. And we need to be vigilant. As I said, when I was coming to America, I was so happy I'm coming to a Christian country. And I remember I was in Turkey before coming to America. I had a dream. And God told me in that dream that he's not satisfied with some of churches and pastors. And I woke up, I shared with my friend, and I said, what's going on here? We are moving to a Christian country. Why God told me this message? But when I moved here, I started speaking at a lot of churches. And unfortunately, some churches is not the church of God. They are not putting, hands of people in the hands of God. They put the hands of people in their hands. It's a business to them. We need to wake up people. Being a Christian is not just going to a church on Sundays, and then I'm done. No, we have a responsibility. God is looking for the fighters. Those who are willing to say yes to him and stand in the front line and says, Lord, I'm ready to go. Send me anywhere you want. We need to activate our faith. We are not supposed to take gun to kill anyone. In 1 Corinthians, there's a verse that says, our weapon is greater. It's not the weapons of this world. It has a spiritual power. God gave us that spiritual power. We just need to say, yes, I'm ready. And we need to, be vigilant about what's happening in our country. There are many other ways. First of all, we can pray because we have power in our prayers. When my friend and I were in prison, we were praying every day. A lot of prisoners gave their hearts to Jesus because of our prayers, because of dreams that God would give me in prison, and it would come true. One quick story. I was in a public ward in a cell, and they sent a person with life sentence. From the beginning, God put in my heart to pray for that woman, and one day he gave me a dream about her. And in that dream, I saw myself, prisoners standing in line coming to me. I was giving them fishes, and when she came, I gave her the biggest fish. I didn't know, when I woke up, I didn't know the interpretation of my dream. In front of 50 prisoners in my cell, when I woke up, I shared that dream, and I told her, I don't know how and why, it was the Holy Spirit put the interpretation into my mouth. I told her, I believe you are going to get released from this prison and from this cell. This is the last cell you entered in no more than six months. And she looked at me, she laughed. She said, you need to know I have a life sentence, and many fortune tellers like you told me the same thing, but it never happened. And I told her, I'm not a fortune teller. That's a dream God gave me, and I strongly believe that this is going to happen. She left the cell exactly after six months. 50 prisoners heard me. It's very difficult to say such a thing to someone that has a life sentence. She said, I don't know how and why, it was the Holy Spirit put the Amsterdam sentence in front of everyone. She got her pardon. My dead heart looked tears on my face. I never forget that day when she came to me with tears and she told me, Marzi I apologize. And she told me I will promise you. The first thing I'm going to do after I go out this prison, I'm going to find the Bible and I'm going to follow Jesus. So we have the powerful God. It's not me. I'm just tools in His hand and I always walk out because the power of God can pray that God use me. I'm a vessel in your hands. Use me anywhere you want to send me. And my friend and I saw many miracles that how Jesus turned that horrible prison to a church for us, that many prisoners gave their hearts to Jesus. And they could see the miracles, even the guards, even the interrogators. There are tons of stories I can stand here and share non-stop stories of my life that how Jesus did lots of miracles. And it's not because of me. I'm not a perfect person. I'm not holy. I have many flaws, many mistakes. I'm a human, ordinary woman. But I just, I have a heart. And my heart, I love him. And I always say, God, take away everything from me, but never take away your presence from my life. Because today I'm going to die without your presence. So we need to understand we have power in our prayers. So one thing that we can do, I, through my ministry, newpersia.org, I started, launched a program to pray for Iranian people. And I asked them, I got that vision through the story of Joshua, that how God gives him instruction to walk around the city of Jericho, and for seven days, he says, blow trumpet, and for six days, march around the city. On the seventh days, march seven times, and I will give you the victory. Why God tells these kind of things? He could tell them, okay, sit and pray over there, and I will give you the victory. God wanted us to be active, to do something. And I got that vision for praying for Iran, which God showed me the map of Iran, that Iran is surrounded with seven countries that has border with Iran. And I tried to find Christians in those countries to stand up and to pray. And many people from around the world, you can read the details on my website, newpersia.org. Many people from around the world joined me in that prayers, and I asked them for seven days, please print the map of Iran, hold your hand, and on the seven days, pray for Iran under the kingdom of God. Because this is happening in Iran, and this is God's prophecy. In Jeremiah 49, which I found my ministry based on that verse, that God tells, I'm going to destroy the kings and rulers of Elam, which is the ancient name of Iran, and I will set my throne there. This is happening. A revival, big revival is happening in Iran. Iranian people are so thirsty, and my vision is to see Iran a Christian country, and it's possible, and it's going to happen. Iran is going to be a country in future, instead of exporting terrorism after the fall of this regime, exporting missionaries to Middle Eastern countries. So I ask people to do the same thing. And if you can, these are simple things that we can do. Prayer is just, the simplest thing that we can do as Christians. And it's not just about Iranian people, because if Iran changes, it will have a big influence in our countries, because they have their agents here. We need to eliminate them, not by killing them. I mean, when we eliminate this Islamic, evil Islamic regime, then it will have a great impact. On our countries. The soldiers, American soldiers, Israeli soldiers, are doing their job. But I'm not that kind of soldier. I'm a different kind of soldier. I have a different responsibility. You can make your politicians accountable. Just question them. Don't let them negotiate with these terrorists, with this evil. Call them, ask question of them. You didn't vote for them to be in the office for their personal. You didn't vote for them to be in the office for their personal benefits. So, there are different ways. Some Christians tell me, we are not politicians. We don't want to be involved in politics. And I say, are you kidding? What is politics? It's what you put on your table. It's about your pocket. It's about the future of your children. How you can say, I don't care about that. Pope said, whoever wage wars, God doesn't hear their prayers. I said, are you kidding? What kind of Pope is that? He is. Have you read Bible? There are tons of stories in the Bible. King David, God used him every time for going to a war. He prayed and said, God, should I go or not to go? And God told him, go. And God gave him the victory. Our God is the best politician. He raises up nations against another nations. What's happening in Iran, it's not a physical battle. It's a spiritual battle. It's God's promise in the Bible. It's God's judgment against these evil people. It's happening. And we need to stand with our government, with Israeli people who are standing in the front line, fighting against the most dangerous enemies of the world. It's not just about Jewish people. They have targeted our Judeo-Christian values. There is a deception moving in the churches. It's telling Christians not to support Israel. Conservatives, there are some conservatives trying to convince people not to support Israel. This is just lying. This is deception. And they know that there is a big unity between Jews and Christians. Our savior, Jesus, was a Jew. Paul was a Jew. Many prophets of old testament were Jews. Percentage of our faith comes from the dead. The Jews are the descendants of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. How do you want to eliminate that? There are many verses about God's chosen people even in the book of Romans 11, that God reminds us that we were grafted into the covenant God made with His chosen people. We should not feel arrogant. In that chapter, it says they are brothers and sisters and all will be saved because God's gift and covenant with them is irrevocable. So don't let people to brainwash you with lies because if you separate the roots from the branches, there is nothing. And Judeo-Christian is the foundation of this great country. If we lose that, America will collapse. And we as Christians are the army of God and we have a responsibility. And I encourage you, please pray and ask God to use you. You don't need to change the whole world. You don't need to do big things. Simple things are matter. I'm alive today because many Christians feel responsible. They sent just a simple letter to prison. The guards told us that every day we were receiving about 50 letters. They were so desperate. That how many? How many letters we were receiving? They never gave us to read, but they could see the world is watching them. At least they couldn't rape me or torture me physically. Yes, I went through lots of psychological tortures, but God saved me for a reason and sent me to America for a reason. Not to come here to enjoy my freedom and forget about what's happening. God brought me here with a message to tell you, about this enemy to wake up and to be vigilant about your freedoms, about your amazing country. America is the greatest country on the earth and they have targeted that. And we as Christians, as I said, have a responsibility. And I pray that the Holy Spirit to talk to each one of your hearts and to not to be indifferent about what's happening in Iran and for Iranians. And people, at least we can pray for them because we will witness a great victory despite all this persecution and suffering. God is working. As I said, just yesterday, I shared a video that Iranians started throwing away the book of Korans, hundreds of the books. They hate Islam. They are just cursing that. That will cause them to be executed, to be killed. But still they are bold and courageous to stand up for that. Unfortunately, they are fighting with bare hands because the regime brought machine guns to the streets and it started killing, shooting at people. And that's why they need our help, that to support them, to be their voices and pray for our leaders, that to make a right decision, not to be dismissed or deceived by wrong advisors, like in the book of Samuel 15, you will see that when God tells King Saul to give King Saul a mission to eliminate Amalekites, but he had the fear. He consulted with his advisors and because of the fear of his men, God got angry and he says, I will take away your kingdom and give it to King David because King David has the, he has a strong heart for God and he was obeying him. He had his failure as well. It was his personal life, but for obeying God, he always consult with God and we need to pray for our leaders to be like that, to be like King David and to consult with God, not people, and to obey him. Thank you so much for listening and God bless you all. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you so much. Wow. I want you to just bow your heads there as we transition from Owasso. Thank you for your boldness. Behind us there, if you will. Feel imparted to you. Can we stretch our hands toward her? I want to pray over her. I want to pray. Receive all that the Lord gave to us and pray that the Lord would continue to work through us. Marzi, thank you for your boldness and coming. Father, I pray, Lord, even today that we would, that the seeds of your word, the gospel coming forth, in boldness be planted in our heart. It would bear fruit and fruit that would remain. We pray over our sister today in the name of Jesus. Guard her, protect her, provide for her. Raise her voice in the name of Jesus. Lord, every area that we've grown dull of hearing, every area that we've drifted away, every area that we've been apathetic, would you reignite your church? We do pray over the nation of Iran. We pray over the Iranian people in the name of Jesus. We pray over your church that's represented there. And I want to pray. We continue to guard and protect your church. Thank you for those that are coming to faith in the name of Jesus. Empower those, Lord, that have a heart after you, that desire to turn away from false religion, a false God, and turn to you. I pray you would make a way for them in the name of Jesus. Guard them, protect them, be with them. Lord, I pray that in our own nation, even as we gather here this morning in freedom, things that we take for granted, I pray that you would challenge us to pray, that you would challenge us, Lord, to be conscious of other believers around the world and what they're facing, Lord, and the things that we're facing, Lord, we may not even see on a consistent basis, but I pray that you would stir hearts towards your church, stir hearts, Lord, towards the nations of the earth, stir hearts, Lord, towards things that matter to you. And we do pray over our leaders, from the local level all the way to the national level. I pray for godly men and women of influence in places of office. I pray for godly men and women of influence to be advisors in the name of Jesus. We ask you to raise the voice of every person that is speaking wisdom of you and close them out. We ask you to raise the voice of every one that is not speaking wisdom of you. We thank you for it. We bless you for it. We honor you for it today. Just remind it, Father. You're so good. You're so good that you would appear to a young Iridian girl. Show Yourself. There are so many. You have to testify. You've chased after those that you've known your own and you've appeared to them. Or you do the same thing. We're in the building or watching online that are in need of our life. Open our eyes just as you did, Marzia. Maybe you're here today and you've never made a commitment to Christ. Maybe you're visiting. If you're watching online, if you're here today and you've never made a commitment to Christ, I want you to know he loves you. He's drawing you even to hear these words today. He's drawing you even to hear these words today. That's you. I want to give you an opportunity to respond. Individual would say, Jesus Christ who died for your sins and was raised to life. I trust you. Don't let anyone play church. That's you. Would you just slip your hand up and pray over you today? Maybe you're watching online. Maybe you're in your living room. Many are not all Muslims in Iran. Let no one of us in this room. God is calling out to you today. If anyone here would say, John, I want to step into the kingdom today. I want to ask Jesus into my life. He's forgiven my sins. Church, would you stand with me? And I want us to pray a prayer together. And then we're going to pray for the nation of Iran. Thank you. First of all, let's pray a prayer of commitment. We bless you today. If you're rededicating your life. Bless you today. How many of you sense, I just really want to tell Jesus. I thank you, Jesus, that the nation is coming to you. And I'm not turning back. I thank you that you're reigning. That's what I said. Now you reign. I wanted to go. Thank you for the support of your mission. And I sense that right now in my heart. Your kingdom that knows no decrease. Everything that we held up as an item. The earth today, even at this moment. I want to stand at the side. We bless you, Lord. In Jesus' mighty name. We give you first and foremost. You believe that? Say it good. Amen. In your life. We give the Lord a great big hand clap. Church. Say Heavenly Father. Thank you, Marzi. That was wonderful. We bless you. She and Sterling are going to slip out. They got to make their way over to Claremore for the next service. And there are books out there. Encourage you to buy them. Out there. We exit today. We want to worship the Lord with our giving today. If you give that check or cash, there's an envelope in the seat back in front of you. And some caners. 10 caners. Some containers as you exit the auditorium. And you can drop those in there. If you text to give, as so many of us do, then you can text in this moment. Let me pray over the offering. I say often, you hear me say that Elisha and I text to give. And I love the convenience of that. But you have to take a moment to worship. And now, Father, we take a moment. Whether we're writing a check or giving cash, we're sending a text. Commitment of Grace. Pause in a moment of worship. Lord, we also pray that you would teach us to love. We say first of all, Lord, thank you. The provision against household. And all manner. We pray over every household represented here in the sound of my voice. Part of this house. Lord, to show us. Maybe there's some that are in need of a job or a better job. You taught that. Lord, I pray that you would provide for every house of this nation. I pray you should help us know it among believers here that we can help those that are operating and lacking in this moment. Thank you for your provision. Secondly, Lord, we declare we trust you. We continue to provide for your people. We thank you. We bless you for it. We honor you for it. We thank you for the church. Those who are coming to Christ in the nation of Iran. Cheryl, I didn't see you at the beginning. So wonderful to have Cheryl here with us. Many of you guys remember Ken. Cheryl, so good to have you.

Hey. Do the conference because I think the ATI summer conference is when we come back. It helps me, again, myself and us, I think, as a congregation to see what God is doing just in our local church. And so it's just a great time together. As many nights as you're able to come, I would encourage you to do that. Can we lift our hands to the Lord this morning, church, and just thank Him and bless Him? Let's just pray a prayer of dismissal over us. Father, thank You for the gathering of Your people today. Thank You for Your Word. Thank You for Mars, Your Lord. Again, continue to guard and protect her, minister through her. Thank You for preserving her life, Lord, and through tragic circumstances. And, Lord, I pray that You would help us. I pray that everything that You desire for us to pray for today, would You continue to even deal with us this week and in the weeks to come. Speak to us like only You can, by Your Holy Spirit. We honor You today. We bless You today. In Jesus' mighty name, amen, amen, amen. God bless you. You're dismissed. If you need prayer, please make your way. Here we love to pray with you. God bless you. Have a wonderful week. We hope to see you some this week at the ATI summer conference. Bless you. Today launches into our conference. We have some who are coming in for the 11 a.m. And John Courish from Canada, Toronto, where we've gone on multiple times. Wave at them. Stand up, John, so they'll see who you are. One of the pastors up there that we connected with through the Ken Guild and Cheryl Guild. Bill, who'll be here. Ken will pass away this time last year from cancer from up in Canada. We were connected for the last 20 years. And so Cheryl's actually going to be here and is here now. She'll be here for the 11 a.m. I think she's over in Owasso. And they're connected together with the relationship of churches. So we're glad that they're able to be with us here. I want to give you a chance to worship the Lord with your tithes and offerings as you are a regular part of DLC. If you're a guest, do not feel like this is compelling for you at all. But for us. For our regular worshipers. This is our way of worshiping the Lord. We have different ways of giving. As you can see on the screen behind me, there's offering containers in front of you. Thank you for your faithfulness to worship Him with what God has blessed you with. You've worked hard this week. And it's a divine exchange of your heart and your love toward Him. So whether it's through the text to give, which so many of us do, or however it is. Let me just bless you and then we'll watch a couple updates. And I'll remind you of some important things before you walk out of here. So Father, we thank you for the worshipers in this house of every way and every form. And I pray for the tithers in this house that you bless them as they increase in business and labor and work. I thank you, Lord, that you have provided for us. And we worship you with our giving. In Jesus' name. Amen. Now let's get caught up here, if you will, with what's going on. What's going on, DLC family? My name is Teddy, and we are so glad that you're here with us this week.
