Where did you experience the love of God?

by Ghazal A

As I mentioned before my husband and I are refugees here in Turkey. Last February after 3 years of waiting for asylum we had a chance to be interviewed with the immigration office. My husband went to his room at 10 o clock and after 7 hours he came out and I could really see how has he felt sadness. The interviewer asked him so many questions and unfortunately, he was a Radical Muslim. He told my husband that it doesn’t matter you are Christian you have to go back to Iran and I WILL DEPORT YOU AND YOUR WIFE TO Iran. The next day I have to go and be questioned by Him. My husband mentioned that we are students of master of divinity in Gmu. As I went to the room he laughed and started questioning. He didn’t ask so many questions about why I left Iran and what my story but he asked so many questions about Christianity and why I became Christian. I started to share my testimonies and differences between Islam and Christianity and I told him also there is a verse in Quran which asks all people to be Christian. He was shocked and asked someone to bring Quran. He had his phone, computer, and the book and access to so many sources and I was just a Christian, a student in the first year of my university. I really panicked that how can I talk to him and persuade him about my belief because my family is also Radical Muslims and I know about the way of their thinking. I prayed for just 5 seconds and God was talking instead of me. I really answered so many questions he had which I never thought about them before. But there was Holy Spirit inside me and he showed me all the right answers. After 5 hours he closed Quran and told me your interview is finished but I have a question for myself. We started to talk and I became so brave and try to evangelize him and I told him I’m sure God wants you to hear from him and this is your chance to hear Gospel, I think. He became mad. And asked me to leave. We came back home and ask every professor and friend and Christian communities which we knew, and after 3 weeks they accepted us as a refuge. During that time that interviewer rejected all asylum cases here but not us.  This is one of the stories that I really felt how God works and I felt the love and grace of God.
