FW: URGENT PRAYER NEEDED for cancellation of execution for Pastor Youcef in IRAN

I am forwarding this because of what is means to freedom of belief in the world, regardless of what a person personally believes, every person has a foundational right is freedom of choice which includes freedom to worship according his/her own conscience. This is the basis of God’s government. What Government is Iran running under?

Dear Brothers and Sisters God be with us all I have been asked to forward this email. From what I have read about this Pastor, it seems he is genuine. I still pray according to God’s will only, for He only knows the whole story. But I cannot neglect to offer prayer for someone in this position. You may all do your own research and pray according to your own convictions. May God bless our efforts for his sake. Regards tom on behalf of RM    Dear Christian friends,   We have been asked to forward this email.  Please forward using the bcc box so that a list of e-mail addresses is not circulated.   Please remember this man in your prayers.   SUBJECT: URGENT PRAYER NEEDED for cancellation of execution for Pastor Youcef in IRAN     This Prayer Chain is calling ALL Christians into action NOW on behalf of this Iranian pastor, who faces execution!   Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani never practiced the Muslim faith and converted to Christianity at age 19, becoming a pastor later. But the courts say that since his mother and father were practicing Muslims, he must recant his Christian faith or die. So far, in three court appearances, he has refused to do so - RISKING EXECUTION AT ANY MOMENT.   The Iranian Supreme Court often acts quickly in administering the death penalty.   According to a report, when asked by judges to "repent," Youcef replied: "Repent,  What should I return to? To the blasphemy that I had before my faith in Christ?"   The judges replied: "To the religion of your ancestors - Islam." To which Yousef replied: "I cannot."   It's time for the body of Christ to act, to pray, to plead for the life of our Brother before Christ so that His servant may be spared.   This is what you are asked/called to do. As soon as you receive this email, PRAY IMMEDIATELY THEN FORWARD TO your Church so that they may all pray too. Then forward this PRAYER REQUEST to every CHRISTIAN you know so that they may pray also.      The Bible States , "If God is with us, who can stand against us."   For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the LORD, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.  Jeremiah 29:11       Full Story of Youcef Nadarkhani http://presenttruthmn.com/the-ministry/youcef-nadarkhani   Execution, Imprisonment of Two Christians may be Determined Next Week http://www.christiantelegraph.com/issue14030.html   German Parliament members appealed for Nadarkhani’s release http://www.christiantelegraph.com/issue15227.html   'Prayer Working' for Imprisoned Iranian Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani http://www.christianpost.com/news/prayer-working-for-imprisoned-iranian-pastor-youcef-nadarkhani-66296
