“Remember those in prison as if you were their fellow prisoners, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering.” – Hebrews 13:3
In July 2019, Iranian regime police arrested a young Christian woman, Fatemeh Mohammadi. Fatemeh was filing a complaint about being assaulted when the police decided to arrest her. She was held a few days and then released on bail. Fatemeh became a Christian in November 2017. Since then she has served a six-month prison sentence for membership in Tehran house church.
“She is a rare public Christian activist inside Iran and has raised a number of issues to the forefront of conversation,” reported International Christian Concern. “She has publicly accused her interrogators of sexual harassment and published material questioning the government’s treatment of Christians. She has particularly raised awareness about how the government’s persecution of Christians is in violation of Article 23 of the Iranian Constitution, which says that ‘no one may be molested or taken to task for simply holding a certain belief.’”
Throughout the world, there are still men and women being imprisoned for their faith in Jesus Christ. Today in prayer, pray for those in Iran and ask the Lord to comfort them and free them from their prison.
“Those that are themselves at liberty must sympathize with those that are in bonds and adversity as if they were bound with them in the same chain: they must fell the sufferings of their brethren.” – Matthew Henry
God’s Word: “I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.'” – Matthew 25:36
