There is mounting concern about reported massive arrests of Christians in Iran. Massive arrests of evangelical Protestant Christians, including many former Muslims, are reported in Iran, with men and women being dragged to prisons across the Islamic nation.

"We have learned that at least 100, but perhaps as many as 400 people, have been detained over the last 10 days," ...

Speaking from an undisclosed location, he told BosNewsLife late Saturday, October 13, that forces of the feared intelligence service, who he called "Iran's Gestapo", broke up worship services in Esfehan, Shiraz and Tehran areas.

"They are of several movements. But it has become clear that Protestant Christians are now viewed as enemy number one of the state," Khandjani said. "We need urgent prayers," he added when asked what believers need most.

A religion that feels it must intimidate is no religion.

This is beginning to sound more and more like the Ezekiel Option.

Prayers up for my evangelical Christian brothers and sisters. They must remain strong; God is in control. He has their backs.

Islam is a political system disguised as a religion. period.

I’m sure Barry will come out and condemn them for their acts - of hatred, violence, violating human rights - against Christians. the “reprehensible, disgusting” acts.... would never be tolerated by an Obama administration :/

In some Muslim countries conversion is a death penalty offense. I hope Iran does not become one.

God bless these brave confessors and potentially martyrs for Christ.

Believers have authority in Jesus name to ask to rebuke this evil,

“Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil as he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke you.” Jude 1:9

I’ve never witnessed spiritual warfare at work like we’re seeing now,

Anyone who hasn’t been on their knees praying, its past time to start,

for those also in Egypt and Syria,

“And it shall come to pass in that day, that the great trumpet shall be blown, and they shall come which were ready to perish in the land of Assyria, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, and shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem.” Isaiah 27:13

You need guns and soldiers as much as you need prayers. These people will not stop killing, maiming, hurting destroying, and enslaving until they are stopped physically. This is not to denigrate prayer rather it reflects the current physical reality. I pray daily but it will take more than prayer to stop these people.
