Interesting piece, did you get to hear the followup interview they talked about?

No not yet I don't have cable hopefully they will put it on the internet soon.

Another video clip:

I also heard that this has turned into an all out war. And that Hamas is seeking to impose Sharia Law in which Christians could be crucified.

I guess I maybe shouldnt have titled the post as I have since I have not yet seen the video and discerned whether he was a legitimate Christian. I guess I just havent seen someone profess Christ falsely that was previously from a fundamental Islamic background.

Anyhow I came upon another clip where He "Mosab Hassan Yousef, son of Sheikh Hassan" actually speaks a little and talks about how he left his whole family and that they can kill his body but not his soul. Imagine if they blew up the Church he attends in San Diego that would shake things up. There are also some articles of his speaking on blogs if you search google under his name "Yousef Hassan san diego church".

I, too, saw this on FoxNews and considered it very fascinating....and wondered how the American public will receive it. It appeared to me that Fox was being very excited about it...

But do keep us posted. I am also following it on the web but may miss something. I would love to see the entire interview and since we have no TV this is the only way I can access it.

Yes it is very fascinating. I have heard of former PLO terrorists getting saved and others having dreams and visions and such but this is the actual son of the founder of Hamas that is like being Osama's son and it is so timely as well. I am encouraged by this because often my perception of Christian evangelization to the people in the Middle East is that it is so dead. I mean I know there are pockets of revival underground and that there are some Churches and that some fundamentalists have been saved but this shows me more so that even they have Jesus in the midst of them wrestling with them even in their palaces. It was also interesting that Fox regarded it the way they did there is a possibility that there is some good Christian influence within. And I hope that this does come out as a good testimony to the US and the Palestinians.

I found 2 more videos. One is just another short news clip but notably I also found on on Memri TV on Youtube that is almost 10 minutes long:

The actual interview is up on the internet now. It is called "Escape from Hamas". He says many "radical" things like they can kill his body but not his soul and that he believes Islam will end within 10 years. The verse that began to minister salvation to him is the same one that I was first pierced by. A modern day Saul of Tarsus? I would pray so and also for him since he is in a very intense time and also sleeps on the floor of a Church members house on top of that. I would also pray he does not get compromised by the western Church.

How very encouraging. Thank you for posting this.

On the second video, at about 5:25 mark, it sounds like he is saying something to the effect that if a person is praying for something (he is talking about his dad), they are considered to be a participant (in this situation as being a partner for evil).

Maybe this is not what he said, but the more I think about it . . . well, it would seem to me that if we are considered to be a participant in our prayers for good, it would be equally true that we would be considered a participant in any prayers for evil - that we would be held accountable for any prayers that we made that helped to bring harm to others.

Thank you for the follow up Bro.! I've appreciated you research and follow up on this as my time has been very limited. God Bless

A book just came out by Brother Andrew
Called "Secret Believers"
very good.

Jesus is revealing Himself to devout Muslims and they are converting to Christianity.

What spoke to my heart was the attitude of the true christians, when one of their daughters were
kidnapped by some Muslims, and forced into marriage and forced to convert to the muslim religion, this happened right from the moque across the street from their church..
they Had a potluck and invited the Muslims for dinner, then forgave them publicly and blessed them and told them of the Love of Christ.
The leader of the Mosque came back secretly and had a meeting with the pastor of the church and wanted to hear more about this forgiveness stuff, and about Christ.

Keep in mind in all this, most of the Christian church wanted to place revenge on the muslim's.
But the pastor prayed and The Holy Spirit said to forgive them.
He told the people and they humbled themselves and gave the Mosque a banquet and witnessed Christ to them.

I think very soon in this country were going to find out who really IS a christian and are willing to die to self and advance HIS Kingdom.
Amen and Amen.

no problem.

Thanks davidt for posting these links. I listened to all the videos and since I had difficulty understanding because of their accent, I will listen to them again.

I am finding the fact of Muslims turning to Christ nothing short of amazing or miraculous. It was not all that many years ago when there were very few, almost none who converted to Christianity. If they did, they eventually relented because of intense persecution. Many missionaries to Muslims labored for years without seeing [edit] much fruit of their labours. So how can one explain this sudden turn around? It must be from God - there is no other explanation.

Amazing - WOW! It is almost as though God had turned his attention to these people for revival and has left the western religious world to its own devices...

Did you pick up right at the last how Mosab believes his father is close to Christianity? that he is closer to it then Muslim?

I am just overwhelmed - best news I heard in a long time....

Blessings,

Ginny,

Amen I believe God is doing some special things in that area.

I wasn't totally sure what Mosab was talking about. I think he meant the Lord was working on his heart and that he would see the error and emptiness in Islam. Maybe he was saying that he is starting to want it but just doesnt totally understand it yet and hasn't seen his need and the gospel clearly kind of in the same way that Mosab testifies. Yet I mean even if he was theologically off a bit I am not too concerned with it I think I know what he was trying to say.

Poet,

that is interesting I would be inquisitive to hear more testimonies of what is happening in that area with the Muslims as I have only heard bits and pieces. I think persecution.com also has some resources.
