Conversion of Muslim to Christ - Part 2 — Afshin Javid

The Weight of Sin and the Cry for Forgiveness

This weight of sin upon me and I know I know that because he is just he must kill me he must wipe me off the face of the earth because I'm so full of sin. And I cried because I literally didn't want to die but I knew there is no chance.

He was so holy and I was so wicked so I just ran to the corner of the room and I held my head in my arms and I just cried out God forgive me God forgive me God forgive me God forgive me. And I just said forgive me forgive me forgive me forgive me.

And as I was crying and just saying forgive me I felt a touch on my shoulder saying I forgive you. And the very instant those words were spoken I physically felt forgiven and I couldn't understand it.

I said wait a minute. We say in the name of God who's merciful and gracious but we don't know if you are forgiven till the day of judgment. That is why there is not one single verse in the Quran that says Muhammad is in the heaven.

He must wait like all people for the day of Qiyamah the day of resurrection and all shall be judged on that day. So how is it that. Who is this God that says I forgive you. And I feel forgiven today. And I asked I said who are you.

Encountering Jesus as the Way, Truth, and Life

They kept forgiving me and I feel forgiven today. And says I am the way the truth and the life. The moment I heard those words I knew it's of a great importance but I had absolutely no idea what that meant.

I still had no clue who this God is. So I asked him what is your name. Jesus Christ the living God. He answered. And the moment he spoke those words it was as if every single bone was taken out of my body and I just fell on my face to the ground and I started weeping in the presence of God.

I just wept. It is 18 years have gone by but I still forget his love his mercy and all the forgets what is for me. That day I fell on my face I just wept but that was it. Nothing I had done was pleasing to God.

Discovering God's Love and Mercy

Nothing I had done that I had. No. I felt so deceived because they told me this is God and he wasn't God. They told me what to do if he sent it along killing the way of our. And then it's God says love in the way of me forgiving the way of me.

And it was everything my heart insisted for. Yes this is the truth of God. God is about forgiveness God is about love. So I wept for two hours and I just stood at his feet and he just said actually look up.

A Vision of Humanity and the Call to Evangelize

At the moment I looked up I saw this. It was like a tv screen of some sort. I just saw people from all different generations and all different nationalities and backgrounds and every single person I saw I could see every single wrong thing they have done.

And that overwhelmed me. I just cried say God I live among all these peoples. All of them are sinners. And he says how easy did I forgive you. And I said very easy. In Farsi we say as easy as drinking water.

And then just moments after that I said no no no no no even easier than drinking water. He says as easy as I have forgiven you I can forgive them. Who is going to tell them. He said send me one. It says go.

Receiving the Bible and Sharing the Testimony

That's how I became a Christian. So I prayed God send me a Bible. And in jail somebody from some other section just walked up to me and gave me a book and says this is what you asked for. And he was in his Indian background.

And I spoke Urdu and Hindi completely so and so when he gave it to me I knew it is the Bible. I forgot to thank the God. I said God I prayed last night and you gave it to me this morning. It is so wonderful your answer.

You are the mighty God that is just spoken of and you provide so quickly. That is the living word of God. I tell you this. I share my testimony so people hear about this almighty God. I don't expect anybody to become a Christian because of my testimony.

My testimony is only good for me. I want people to understand this. This is the story of almighty God that is all able and that is searching for all seeking hearts that loves all humanity with all his strength and power.

The Promise of Forgiveness and Assurance in Christ

If someone hears my testimony today I really like them to just say okay God of heaven the creator of everything. If this is true I want that and I assure you I can guarantee you that mighty God that came and touched and changed my life and and totally forgive everything I have done.

And he made me sure that I can be in heaven with him. He can assure them of the same assurance and he can let them taste of the same forgiveness and same love. And that is who Jesus Christ may glory be to him today and forever more.

The Incarnation and Deity of Jesus Christ

Amen. My suggestion to a Muslim man or a woman is I know they ask is Jesus Christ God. Can a human being become God. Of course never. No human being can become God. But I believed even as a Muslim in almighty God God the great God that can do anything and everything.

But can a God this great God become man. Can he show himself in the body of a man. Yes he can. And so as Christians we do not say Jesus Christ is the son of a God because God had a child. No no no. But God showed himself in the body of Jesus Christ to all humanity.

Prayer for Healing, Hope, and Salvation

I dare anybody if they ask Jesus Christ with the heart that is right and God knows. We cannot test God. We cannot question God. But we can ask God. We can ask God with humble beings that we are saying God almighty.

I have a family member that is sick. I have someone that is is really really in need of a healing. I have question. I have a broken heart. I am filled with depression and no doctors can help me. I have no hope.

I feel like I am. I have no peace. If you ask. Is there hope in Jesus. For me is there healing in the name of Jesus. For me is there healing. For my family member. I mean some kind of salvation from that depression.

Ask in the name of Jesus. You will receive it because he is the almighty God. You test. You will see. And that is who God is.
