 I want to invite each and every one of us here tonight to pray about a certain situation that arise up in the news for those that may have encountered it on the news or maybe have heard about it but this Sunday a video was released and it was released on Twitter and about 21 men Christian men were martyred in Libya and for those that may not know what the word martyr means it means been killed because of their faith. And so 21 men were kidnapped in around December and January and what was happening was the ISIS group was going house to house knocking and they had a list of Christians. And so when they would go house to house what would happen is they would call them by name and if they responded they grabbed them and kidnapped them and these 21 men responded and there was a list that was released confirming their deaths because they were all beheaded and the video was released on Sunday. Now there was a witness on one of the nights that these ISIS group was coming door to door and I want to ask real quick who is 19 years old here? Who is 19? Raise your hand. Raise it high. Okay around 1920 there's a lot of people here that are around that age. I want to tell you there was a 19 year old boy or excuse me teenager and he was in a house and he was Christian. Now a Muslim called him it was his neighbor and called and said do not respond when they call you by name because they are looking for Christians to kill. And so he barely escaped death. And I want to tell you guys it's people like you and I for those that are 19 years old imagine because you are sitting here because of your faith you are about to die. Imagine that. It is you and me. All they did these are called Coptic Christians. Now the word Coptic Christians means it's a Greek word for Egyptian. Now all of these men that 21 men they were from they were sight in Egypt going to Libya to look for work. All they simply were doing was looking for work and they died because they were Christians. And it's people like them that is people like us here. Just because we think oh wow we're here free in America we can stand for our faith. I want to let you know is that people are dying. Now I want to speak about our statistics of martyrs. I want to tell you that there's about 105,000 Christians that get martyred every year approximately. Martyrs mean literally being killed and 100 million per year that are being persecuted being impacted and being affected because they believe in Jesus Christ. Now this is the biggest community and the biggest group that is actually affected of being persecuted and martyred this very moment is Christians. No one else but Christians. So this is a huge issue and I want to let you know how many of you guys feel tonight privileged that you are free to believe in Jesus Christ and walk and proclaim the gospel to anyone you like please and sit here without worry that you're going to die leaving these doors. Amen. Amen. Come on. Now I know this is a heavy subject okay this is very heavy thing but I want to let you know this is real and this happens and I want us to come to believe that God wants to use you to bring revival for your family for your friends everywhere you go. Just Lily was encouraging us about this upcoming Wednesday is going to be what the miracle catch service where you have an opportunity say opportunity to invite whoever you'd like that you come into encounter with and have their lives be changed forevermore. Amen. How many of you guys are sitting here and your life has been changed. Come on. Amen. And your life if it hasn't been yet it will be tonight. Amen. And I want to invite each and every one of you guys to be challenged like Lilia said to be bold and be like you know what I have the freedom to speak and speak life into people. God wants to use me and I live here and I want to invite us right now is to pray for those that are being affected and being impacted all around the world for their prosecution for their protection and for their endurance. Amen.
