free at last

I just came back from the courtroom where Homeland Security in an unprecedented move dropped its case against Joseph- there was no reason given for this sudden change of heart but many speculate what could have been the cause.  

Those of us who have been praying know the exact reason. God did it.  We prayed and He answered. It is important that we see God as directly answering our prayers.  Unfortunately even for the best of us we are likely to immediately seek out the earthly reason for this deliverance.  look at the reaction of those praying for the release of Peter: 

"When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I am sure that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from all that the Jewish people were expecting.” When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John whose other name was Mark, where many were gathered together and were praying. And when he knocked at the door of the gateway, a servant girl named Rhoda came to answer. Recognizing Peter’s voice, in her joy she did not open the gate but ran in and reported that Peter was standing at the gate. They said to her, “You are out of your mind.” But she kept insisting that it was so, and they kept saying, “It is his angel!” But Peter continued knocking, and when they opened, they saw him and were amazed. But motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he described to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. And he said, “Tell these things to James and to the brothers.” Then he departed and went to another place." (Acts 12:11-17)

they did not believe he was there- it was almost as if they forgot to actually believe God could, and in this case did, answer their prayer directly.  In our case today it is important to remember that no matter what earthly means were used- GOD DIRECTLY ANSWERED THE PRAYER OF HIS CHURCH AND GRANTED ASYLUM TO MOSAB IN A FASHION THAT IS UNPRECEDENTED.  If this is a coincidence i quit.  

Thank you God for this great day.

I'm grateful to be a follower of Jesus Christ, the Son of God with all of you. I think well of and am praying for your fellowship of believers. Thank you for coming alongside of "Joseph" Mosab Yousef, for helping him spiritually and practically, for praying for God's will to be done in and through his life, and for God's glory to be shown because of yesterday's deportation hearing.

What Joseph is going through is what Jesus said we're to expect to go through. Yet many people owe a great thank you to this young man and to Yeshua who saved, sanctifies and is working through him.

This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not a child of God; nor is anyone who does not love his brother. 1 John 3:10

This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers. 1 John 3:16

May God bless all of you richly in Him!

PRAISE GOD!

Praise the Lord! I have been ministering to Arabs for the last 23 years. I am so encouraged with Yousef's testimony and the way how God protects him. We will continue praying for him. He will be a tremendous blessing for many Arabs who are seeking for truth. Salaam!

Yes, victory in Jesus at this hearing, but the battle is still ongoing for Mosab and all Christians to work out our salvation with fear and trembling.
Since being in this secularized country, one without moral restraints) it seems prudent to pray for Mosab to keep his way pure and his eyes on Jesus. Not being distracted by the World. "How can a young man keep his way pure? By guarding it according to your WORD. With my whole heart I seek you; let me not wander from your commandments!" Psalm 119:9-10 Be on your guard Mosab.
Satan is still the accuser of the brethren. We continue to pray that his family might come to salvation through Jesus Christ our Lord.
