Testimony of SOHEILA

I was born and raised in a none religious and intellectual family. I went to a none religious high school where most of my classmates were Zoroastrian, Baha’i or Christian. Two years before I finish high school the Islamic revolution took place and everything was changed.  I still was in contact with most of my classmates. Later on when I was older I got married and my husband was also not a religious person. Although we both were Muslim yet were not following our religion. We didn’t know much about it as a matter of fact we were just Muslim born. My religion did not have an answer for many of my questions and I felt spiritually lost. About ten years ago I met one of my old school friend who had become a Christian. She and her sister spoke with me a few times about Christ and Christianity and as they observed the interest in me, they took me to their underground church gathering. It was there that I became more familiar with Christianity and was willing to learn more. I enjoyed being there very much until my friend and her family migrated to Sweden. Since following Christ for a Muslim born was considered a crime and very dangerous I decided to study the bible by myself, and watched the Christian channels via satellite. After knowing Jesus Christ my life was changed. I surrendered all my cares to Him knowing that it is the right thing to do. Knowing Him who is the life and the truth gives me security and peace. When I came to Canada I had this dream that I was still in Iran walking in the street. I was very hungry and passing through a bakery wanted to buy a loaf of bread but had no money. I was very sad and suddenly I saw a man passed by me calling in a loud voice saying that the Lord Himself has experienced hunger and fasted for a while so that He could identify with us, do not be dismayed. As I kept walking I came to my cousin’s place. When her daughter saw me she asked why I am so sorrowful. I told her I don’t have money to buy bread. She took a bill and gave it to me saying I don’t need this take it. I then woke up from my dream and told my husband what my dream was in tears. He said not to worry it must have been the Lord who spoke to you in your dream He will come to our aid. I was very encouraged and strengthened by this dream. As I read God’s word and the Psalms I can’t help but agree with the Psalmist who says “praise the LORD oh my soul and as long as I live I will praise His holy name &  as long as I live I will praise the LORD and blessed are those who’s helper  is the God of Jacob, Alleluia. Amen
