You can also find my blog on the Top 100 Christian Women Blogs. Thank you for your support! By Hedieh Mirahmadi Between the riots, looting, and closed churches, many Christians are frightened about “battle.” I often get this surprised look on people’s faces when they see how outspoken I am since becoming a Christ-follower, after 20+ years as a devout Muslim. I know they are wondering why I am not afraid? Throughout my professional career, I survived being shot at on the streets of Damascus, the outbreak of civil war in Lebanon, the Tsunami in Southeast Asia, and direct confrontation with m ..read more

If God is for us, who can be against us? Romans 8 & 9

By Hedieh Mirahmadi It never ceases to amaze me how God’s word is applicable in every situation, throughout all time. If you simply turn on the television these days, just standing for biblical values makes us public enemy number one. During the life of the Apostles, circumstances were even worse, but Paul reassures the believer that our victory is guaranteed through our love and faith in Christ. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will affliction or distress or persecution or hunger or lack of sufficient clothing or danger or the sword? …. No, but in all these things we prevail c ..read more

What will come forward from your life in captivity? Book of Romans 8

By Hedieh Mirahmadi God is at work in the heart of his people during this pandemic. Who other than God could allow the entire world to be in captivity through something microscopic? The question we must ask ourselves is, what does God expect us to manifest through it? Though our physical body is in bondage, our Spirit is free to worship and draw near to the Lord. If God doesn’t take us out of a situation, what is He bringing forth in us? There is always a purpose in pain. When the Apostle Paul wrote the Book of Philippians, he was in a prison cell. He didn’t know if he was going to live or d ..read more

Oh the pain of transformation – Book of Romans 7 & 8

By Hedieh Mirahmadi …. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind, I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin.’ Romans 7:21-25 I love how honest and heartfelt Paul describes the “war” inside his body. The battle between sin and the indwelling of the Holy Spirit can be fie ..read more

How I went from bondage to freedom. Romans 6

By Hedieh Mirahmadi In my last blog post, I compared leaving Islam to being set free from a cage. However, that freedom led me straight back into the bondage of a life filled with sin and personal destruction. All those years of prayer and fasting did nothing to conquer the desires that led me to seek God in the first place. Luckily, Christ rescued me from that torment and that is when the REAL transformation began. No one told me I had to stop the habits that were leading to my disintegration; but, there was “force” within me urging me to change. It was the Holy Spirit transforming my thou ..read more

Why Did I Leave Islam to Become a Christ Follower?

By Hedieh Mirahmadi I am so excited to share my transformation in Christ with you! I know the question on everyone’s mind is HOW?? I have described it in 3 main principles that set faith in Christ apart from Islam. Salvation is a FREE gift! For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith–and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God– Ephesians 2:8 In Islam, you never really know if your good deeds are enough to enter God’s Heaven. On the Day of Judgement, God will decide if we were “good enough” and that terrified me. What if there was one big sin He could not forgive despite ..read more

Jesus is the Solution to Islamic Terrorism – Book of Romans 4 & 5

By Hedieh Mirahmadi Before my salvation through Christ, I spent over two decades trying to defeat Islamic radicalization. I built evidence based programs across the US and around the world, partnering with law enforcement and communities, to “hopefully” prevent young men or women from committing ideologically motivated violence. I used to be proud of all that I had accomplished but obviously, I never solved the problem. No matter what any of us “experts” did, the terrorists multiplied. After awhile, it was exhausting and felt worthless. I kept doing the same things over again and expecting d ..read more

What Has Jesus Done for Me – Book of Romans Chapter 3

By Hedieh Mirahmadi Most of my adult life I spent engrossed in Muslim devotions because I wanted God’s forgiveness and acceptance into His Heaven. The requirements were physically demanding– the prayers, ritual washing, fasting and meditation, but not transformative. Despite over two decades of practice, I did not sense any change in my spiritual being or my character.  The requirements NEVER got easier and in fact, became progressively harder to maintain. As a result, when I stopped the rituals, the flood of sin came rushing back into my life. I felt like a bird whose master left a cr ..read more

By Hedieh Mirahmadi In Romans 2, Paul tackles the dangers of hypocrisy. He teaches us the dangers of relying on good works while having bad character and bad intent. This will only lead to affliction and distress. It’s quite common sensical if you think about it. You can’t trick God by outwardly following commandments if inwardly, in your heart, you are doing it for lust, power, or fame. God does not reward that kind of behavior.  ….8 but to those who act from selfish ambition and who disobey the truth, but who obey unrighteousness, wrath and anger. 9 There will be affliction ..read more

Book of Romans – Introduction

By Hedieh Mirahmadi  Background: The book of Romans in the Bible was written by the Apostle Paul, also known as Saul. He was such a devout believer in Judaism that he severely persecuted the followers of Christ.  When he was on the way to Damascus to arrest believers there, God got his attention, as recorded in Acts 9:1-6. Supernatural light blinded him, and as he lay on the ground, he heard the voice of Jesus. A lot of people didn’t believe in the power of seeing Jesus after he had ascended. Many don’t believe that he appears to people today even if he did so for Paul back then.&n ..read more
