Sid: Mishpochah my guest Reza Safa was raised as a Shiite Muslim; he understands Islam and that’s why we’re making available his book this week…it’s called “Inside Islam” Politian are reading this. No, Islam is not a peace loving religion, but it is a book where you can get all the necessary facts. It’s a must read, as a matter of fact Reza you told me that the anti-Christ you believe on your prophetic Bible studies well really come out of Islam. Tell me briefly who you believe the anti-Christ is.
Reza: You know the Islamic faith believes in the Mahdi, or the Messiah, the twelfth Imam disappeared; they believe he went into occultation when he was twelve years of age. And their faith is that at the end of time, at the end of age he will return to the earth to convert the world into the Islamic faith and he will kill many Jews and kill many Christians.
Sid: Well, the President of Iran obviously believes he is about ready to come.
Reza: Actually they have built a memorial place for him which was never practiced in the time when I lived in Iran. This president has built a memorial place for him and people actually go there to donate their money for his return, and also put their prayers, something that has never been practiced before in Iran. They put their prayer request in there because they believe he will come. President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad when he was at UN assembly not this year but the year before he saw a light envelope him for twenty minutes.
Sid: I remember him talking about this light that surrounded him.
Reza: You know they rebuked him the Ayatollahs the high ranking Ayatollahs in Iran rebuked him because in Iran they never talk about the supernatural, that’s ritual that they don’t practice it there. But he believed that this light was from Mahdi and the Mahdi told him that he will be the, he will prepare the way for him. And so studying the eschatology of Islam concerning him and studying the Bible scatology about the anti-Christ I believe he’s the same man.
Sid: Now why do you believe it’s important for every Christian listening to us get a copy of your book “Inside Islam?”
Reza: Because I believe we are facing a time in the history where God is raising a standard against this, it’s a spirit; 1.3 billion Muslims are bound by this a spirit and the Christians need to know; we need to know what to do. We need to know how to pray.
Sid: You know listen they’re invading our universities; they’re going after our youth now. They’re going into prisons, but you told me that Imams are actually in prison are reading this book and becoming Christians.
Reza: Exactly, there are so many Moslems that have read this book and concerted back because they were Christians that converted to Islam and are converting back. So knowledge is the key, knowledge is a strength the more we know the stronger we are.
Sid: Reza I believe that God wants to confirm His word with signs following; would you teach just a little bit on healing just briefly and then pray.
Reza: You know ever since Sid I got saved I had this desire in my heart an incredible desire for the manifestation of Jesus because Muslims do not get convicted unless they see the supernatural. And the way we receive the supernatural is when the word for Christians because a lot of time it’s easier for non-Christian to receive the healing then for Christians because Christians God expect them to get it themselves and not by our prayers. But when the word becomes one with us, that He that knew no sin became sin on our behalf that we through Him might become the righteousness of God. That He took that which was in me, He took it upon, He became one with that, He became sin, He became that sickness that I carried it; He became that pain, once that word becomes part of me; you know for the past 20 some years that I’ve accepted Jesus I have not been sick. There is not a single day that sickness has come to my body I don’t remember when was the last time that I had a cold Sid, because by His see that has become part of me. When I go to the crusade ground wherever the Lord sends me I see that, I pray that and the Lord speaks to me. I say “Lord the Son can do nothing of himself except that which he sees the Father do.” And once we get united with the Word, when we become one with the word, then Jesus said, “What-so-ever you ask it shall be done unto you.” It’s not just something we go “Lord I need this situation, help me out in this matter.” But we have to get that word in us, the word is become, one translation says, I want to say this and then I want to pray. One translation says “If My word has a room in you, if My word has a room in your conduct, in your words, in your thinking then what-so-ever you ask you will receive it.” So I pray right now in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, Lord You asked me not to pray for sick but command it so in Jesus name I rebuke every spirit of sickness and disease. And in Jesus wonderful and holy and precious Name, I want to ask all those people who are sick to just lay your hands on the places of sickness. In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth the Son of the Living God, I curse that sickness from its roots and Lord I speak healing that you provided 2,000 years ago on your cross. I command that healing to take over your body right now and the peace of God in Jesus and holy name and I declare your freedom from the sickness, from this disease and from this pain in Jesus name. And Lord we give you all the glory, Jesus you the one who provided the healing, and master we thank you and honor you and bless you and love you for your goodness and your love and your mercy in Jesus precious Name, amen.
Sid: Amen. You know Mishpochah all week long there’s been a flow of God’s healing anointing that your ears would be opened not just to in the physical realm but in the supernatural realm to recognize that the times and seasons that we are living in God is doing something special with Muslims. He’s doing something special with Jewish people. I am so excited our television show “It’s Supernatural” the whole premise of our TV show is to demonstrate, to brag if you will, on God and then show how you can come to know this God intimately. That’s the only way Jews and Muslims and Hindu’s and people from another religion are going to come to the Lord. And that’s why I’m so pleased to say were on Reza’s television station in the Farsi language where revival is hitting but we’re only on one time and the only reason we’re only on one time, I’d like to be on every day we have all these shows and I know Reza could use a show another show on his network with the supernatural. And by the way we’re on in the whole former Soviet Union in the Russian language; we’re on in the whole Arab world in the Arabic language. This is God’s time to reach the world and it’s so simple you need help to be confused; you demonstrate the kingdom of God by a miracle and then people want to know the God that performed this miracle. Reza’s just a man, I’m just a man but we have a superstar that lives inside of us. We don’t need a superstar on television, we have a superstar that lives inside of us Jesus. Reza what do you for see happening in the Islamic world in reference to coming to Jesus?
Reza: I believe millions; the Lord spoke to me Sid that we will see several million Muslims come to Christ within this…
Sid: You realize could abort World War III.
Reza: I believe so, I believe that there is a harvest ahead of us before this mass chaos in the Middle East. And I believe that we need to reap the harvest and you know you have such an important part with these programs that you have on signs and wonders Sid I want to encourage your hears to support you and to help you in these broadcasts.
Sid: And you know Reza I believe that God would be pleased as I as a Jewish believer in Jesus pray for you as a former Shiite Moslem and you agree in prayer with me right now. “Father it’s not by man’s might nor by man’s power but it’s by Your Spirit and the network that you have given Reza I pray that he not only reach the number of souls you showed him but that there be a bonus, that there even be more. I pray that you would expand his tent to the whole Arab world, not just the countries that he’s in right now. Now I pray Father God that you would give him his own network and that it would not be like Christian TV here in America, like business like normal. I pray in Jesus Name that it would be one that You would be free to demonstrate Your authority, and he would not have to spend time raising money on television which is the kiss of death to the unsaved, but that he would spend his time demonstrating Your Kingdom. So I release the flood gates of money to come from the north, the south, the east, and the west, and let him know that it was because of this prayer in Yeshua’s Name I pray. Amen…Reza’s book “Inside Islam”…Mishpochah we’re living in such a wonderful times, such an exciting time I wouldn’t want to be alive in any other generation. We’re in the generation that’s going to see the return of the Messiah and I’m going to supernaturally bless you now…
