Left Islam for Jesus!

Helena22 · May 17, 2013

I was born a Muslim and have spent at least two years researching for truth regarding God and Islam. I have left Islam for I had no peace with Islam. It was not a hard decision to make once I knew the truth. Signs were given to me through God and finally I saw the light and it led me away from the darkness.

I had to do this research for myself and with an open heart and mind, I read both scriptures and listened to debates with scholars from both sides but I used common sense and also I questioned my heart and soul for guidance and answers.

My husband is divorcing me and already waiting for the court date for the final divorce, my family have left me too but that is all ok I am still at peace. Knowing the truth is most powerful thing to have and there is no other thing necessary than the love of God and Jesus Christ. I know my life would change and I will embrace it with open arms. I also know it will not be easy but again I have to face those hurdles as it is part of life.

I am so sorry to hear about your divorce, but Scripture says that if the unbeliever departs let them do so. But God will see you through, and indeed while it may be hard now in the end I can see the dissolution of this marriage as a blessing because you will be less likely to be tempted back into Islam. Keep strong for God, and God will make sense of the chaos.

Dearest Helena,
God bless you my sister. Your road ahead will certainly not be an easy one. I am so sorry your family has left you, but you have a new family, and I am your new sister. My real name is Melody, and I am so very happy to meet you.

I want to say a prayer of protection over you. Again, welcome to your new family!

Father God, I remind You of your Word; that You will keep the feet of your saint and new daughter, Helena, and the wicked shall be silent in darkness; for by strength shall no man prevail. 1 Samuel 2:9

The God of my rock; help Helena trust in You: You are her shield, and the horn of her salvation, her high tower, and her refuge, her savior; You save Helena from violence. She and I will call on the LORD, who is worthy to be praised: so shall Helena be saved from her enemies. 2 Samuel 22:3-4

Lord, Helena will both lay her self down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only make her dwell in safety. Psalm 4:8

And we all rejoice because Helena has put her trust in You; let her ever shout for joy, because You defend her; let those also who love Your name be joyful in You. Psalm 5:11

But you, O God, do see trouble and grief; you consider it to take it in hand. The victim commits herself to you; you are the helper of the fatherless. The LORD is King for ever and ever; the nations will perish from his land. You hear, O LORD, the desire of the afflicted; you encourage them, and you listen to their cry, defending the fatherless and the oppressed, in order that man, who is of the earth, may terrify no more. Psalms 10:14-18

All this I pray for Helena in Jesus' name. Amen.

Wow, Now this is a testimonial that I love! Welcome to the family and feel free to ask all the question that you need to. Your Life with Jesus will still have potholes and speed bumps but there will be fewer now. Congratulations. And also welcome to CF.

May you continue to know the Love of Jesus and to grow into His truth as you allow His words to lodge in your heart knowing that He will never leave or forsake you.

G-d bless you and strengthen you as His plans for your life unfold.

It's sad that for many becoming a Christian means you are alienated from everyone you knew before. I am thankful you found the truth in Jesus, it is a humbling experience to realize who he is and what he did for us.

I am happy for you. Welcome to Christian forums. I hope you find fellowship here. A word of advice, do not base your beliefs and interpretations of the Bible on what other men and women tell you. Go based on your own understanding and research. Many will sow false teaching unknowingly.

I pray you find it easy to adjust to a new life as a Christian. It can be difficult when feeling rejected by former muslim friends.

Helena,

I am very thankful to our Heavenly Father for exposing the lies of Islam to you and also showing you His truth. Also I thank Him that you came to Him and that you saw the lies of Satan and the truth of a loving God.

Sorry to hear that your husband has decided to divorce you. This can be hard at first. However I do know that God will restore everything back to you in His time. Through this trial may God give you the strength to stand firm in Him. Do not waver. Keep your eyes upon Him. Keep close to those who will encourage you in your new walk with God. Study the word of God.

In the mean time be as good to your husband as possible, which I know that this is difficult to do at this time. In your quiet time with God pray for your husband that he will also began to see the truth.

Maybe try to sit with him with the Quran and your bible and began to show him the differences. God will get through to him. Show him how your God is a loving God, forgiving, full of grace and mercy.

I pray that God will send postive and encouraging people your way to help you keep the faith. Many blessings to you.

Moriah Ruth

Welcome to CF! I hope you have a good church to help guide and support you. Did you two have children together?

suzeequeue · May 18, 2013

thank you, Jesus! that is just amazing that He has freed you from your bonds. i am so very, very happy for you, sister. yes, the way is hard and narrow, but He's worth it. God bless you, dear one.

Helena22 · May 18, 2013

Thank you all for your welcome, I feel so humbled.
We have two grown up children 20+ and both have been supportive towards my decision. They too have left Islam but need time to rediscover other religions which I understand.

Hopefully I should have my baptism soon, I already spoke to the Pastor so I am looking forward to that.
I still have so much to learn and no doubt I will be asking questions to my new family here.
I can't tell you just how relieved I am for finding something that I know I always belonged to.

Hello, Welcome to CF. Enjoy the forums.

Praying for you.

Hi Helena, I'm not 100% yet but I'm pretty sure I'm also going to leave Islam for Christianity. Your post is very inspiring for me. I'm sorry that by changing your religion so many difficulties are occurring for you with some of your family. Religion is so very much apart of our sense of identity. Changing religions is not easy at all. I pray God lightens your burdens.

Hi Xaira

In the beginning of my journey to find the truth I was so confused, afraid and the fear was at times too much. I am not an intelligent person, I cannot remember things after 2 life saving brain surgeries I was just about giving up on my life too because of fear and I needed answers as to why I never felt comfortable with Islam. I remember one night I begged God to help me find God. I am not something special to someone else but only to God and I firmly believe that God led me to Christianity. My believe is that if God guided me to the light and when I had a sudden feeling of peace that in itself spoke volumes for all my living days. Islam never gave me that feeling and it most certainly never gave me peace.
Considering my health problems which incidentally has improved since embracing Jesus Christ I felt that I could be with my creator anytime, well for anyone of us, two years I looked at the scriptures and finally my heart gave me all the answers I needed. I also think that when your heart and mind is saying some that is of peace that that is the right path.
I shall be Baptized exactly a month today and I am blessed!
Sorry for the long post but I sincerely hope you find what you are seeking, it's never easy in matter of faith but when you believe in God you are already on your way there.

Amen to that! :clap:

The Word of God is Truth, and is Life; as is also demonstrated by the Holy Spirit and in power from on High. (ain't gonna find that in any other faith)

John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Welcome Helena to the forums, and to the Body of Christ. :wave:

Helena22 · Jun 15, 2013
