- Isik abla, it is great to have you with us.
- 00:01:11.427 --> 00:01:14.164
- You are one of the world's greatest christian evangelists.
- 00:01:14.164 --> 00:01:17.233
- You're preaching the gospel to over 200 countries,
- 00:01:17.233 --> 00:01:20.203
- Millions upon millions of people worldwide,
- 00:01:20.203 --> 00:01:23.339
- Hearing the message of jesus from your ministry.
- 00:01:23.339 --> 00:01:26.342
- And yet he's sick.
- 00:01:26.342 --> 00:01:27.477
- When you were growing up a young girl muslim in turkey.
- 00:01:27.477 --> 00:01:31.080
- This all seemed very unlikely as a 12 year old.
- 00:01:31.080 --> 00:01:34.617
- You actually want to be an islamic suicide bomber?
- 00:01:34.617 --> 00:01:38.855
- Tell us more about your upbringing in turkey.
- 00:01:38.855 --> 00:01:42.425
- Yes. yes, eric.
- 00:01:42.792 --> 00:01:44.227
- Absolutely it is. it is a miracle.
- 00:01:44.227 --> 00:01:47.363
- I am a walking miracle.
- 00:01:47.363 --> 00:01:49.199
- Today i'm standing here and i am declaring good news
- 00:01:49.199 --> 00:01:53.603
- Of jesus christ in my life and in my testimony, of course.
- 00:01:53.603 --> 00:01:57.473
- I grew up in a devout muslim home in turkey.
- 00:01:57.473 --> 00:02:01.211
- We had a lot of radical muslims
- 00:02:01.844 --> 00:02:04.414
- In our family as well as secular muslims.
- 00:02:04.414 --> 00:02:07.850
- I grew up in a very dysfunctional home,
- 00:02:07.850 --> 00:02:10.987
- During the civil war years in turkey.
- 00:02:10.987 --> 00:02:13.556
- So i have seen a lot of people
- 00:02:13.556 --> 00:02:15.792
- Killing each other in front of me as a little girl.
- 00:02:15.792 --> 00:02:18.795
- I have seen a lot of bloodshed, violence,
- 00:02:18.795 --> 00:02:22.932
- Within
- 00:02:23.132 --> 00:02:24.067
- My household and also outside of the house.
- 00:02:24.067 --> 00:02:26.869
- So i grew up without knowing any peace in my life
- 00:02:26.869 --> 00:02:30.440
- As a little girl.
- 00:02:30.440 --> 00:02:31.674
- And so many things happened to me.
- 00:02:31.674 --> 00:02:33.443
- And, in that kind of environment,
- 00:02:33.443 --> 00:02:37.380
- You don't to have to process everything as a little girl.
- 00:02:37.380 --> 00:02:40.149
- So i turned to allah, the god that was present in my country.
- 00:02:40.149 --> 00:02:45.555
- And then, i ended up in a korean course,
- 00:02:45.555 --> 00:02:49.025
- Becoming very radical at age 12.
- 00:02:49.025 --> 00:02:51.995
- Yes. i dreamt about becoming a suicide bomber
- 00:02:51.995 --> 00:02:55.732
- Because it was for me, the most heroic act
- 00:02:55.732 --> 00:02:59.702
- To, kill and die in the name of allah.
- 00:02:59.702 --> 00:03:03.840
- I was serving a god who told me to kill and die for him.
- 00:03:03.840 --> 00:03:08.311
- Until i found god on the day i was going to commit suicide.
- 00:03:08.311 --> 00:03:12.682
- There was a god, true god,
- 00:03:13.249 --> 00:03:15.451
- Who told me that he came and died on the cross for me.
- 00:03:15.451 --> 00:03:19.255
- Yeah. we want to talk about that.
- 00:03:19.255 --> 00:03:21.524
- Just amazing. your entire journey.
- 00:03:21.524 --> 00:03:23.493
- Your entire story.
- 00:03:23.493 --> 00:03:25.361
- Leaving it in
- 00:03:25.728 --> 00:03:26.729
- Turkey for now as you're growing up, of course.
- 00:03:26.729 --> 00:03:29.532
- Islamic ideology all around you.
- 00:03:29.532 --> 00:03:31.501
- The only time you hear about jesus,
- 00:03:31.501 --> 00:03:32.802
- I presume, is when he's presented as a prophet of islam.
- 00:03:32.802 --> 00:03:37.140
- But you also had a tough relationship
- 00:03:37.140 --> 00:03:39.342
- With your dad, as you said, a dysfunctional home.
- 00:03:39.342 --> 00:03:41.611
- And your dad made you feel like you were stupid.
- 00:03:41.611 --> 00:03:44.247
- You've said you've written and you just became a voracious
- 00:03:44.247 --> 00:03:47.617
- Reader to prove that you were really smart
- 00:03:47.617 --> 00:03:49.952
- And you were, and then some.
- 00:03:49.952 --> 00:03:51.220
- You went on to great things, career wise.
- 00:03:51.220 --> 00:03:54.090
- But in turkey, tough situation with your family.
- 00:03:54.090 --> 00:03:57.527
- You actually marry a radical islamist and things go downhill
- 00:03:57.527 --> 00:04:02.065
- From there.
- 00:04:02.065 --> 00:04:02.932
- Tell us more about that relationship
- 00:04:02.932 --> 00:04:04.834
- And how it led to you fleeing turkey?
- 00:04:04.834 --> 00:04:07.804
- Yes. starting with my dad.
- 00:04:07.804 --> 00:04:10.873
- My father was a womanizer.
- 00:04:10.873 --> 00:04:13.109
- He was a very successful businessman.
- 00:04:13.109 --> 00:04:16.312
- But he would abandon me and my mom for other woman.
- 00:04:16.312 --> 00:04:19.716
- And there was a lot of violence and abuse
- 00:04:19.716 --> 00:04:23.853
- In the household that i grew up.
- 00:04:23.853 --> 00:04:26.022
- The greatest thing i heard from my dad
- 00:04:26.856 --> 00:04:29.125
- When i started college at age 16 and graduated very early.
- 00:04:29.125 --> 00:04:34.197
- Not bad for a girl.
- 00:04:34.197 --> 00:04:37.200
- So i grew up with gender inferiority.
- 00:04:35.398 --> 00:04:41.037
- All my life in turkey, for the first
- 00:04:41.037 --> 00:04:43.506
- 25 years, brainwashed about my gender.
- 00:04:43.506 --> 00:04:47.243
- And it led me in relationships like the one that you mentioned,
- 00:04:47.243 --> 00:04:51.247
- Being beaten up.
- 00:04:51.647 --> 00:04:53.282
- Every other day.
- 00:04:53.282 --> 00:04:54.650
- And finally, there was a knife on my throat
- 00:04:54.650 --> 00:04:58.254
- Telling me jump from a very high building.
- 00:04:58.254 --> 00:05:01.891
- And that experience made me to start
- 00:05:01.891 --> 00:05:05.261
- Planning my escape from turkey to america.
- 00:05:05.261 --> 00:05:08.431
- But i always say, wherever you go, there you are.
- 00:05:08.431 --> 00:05:11.734
- I came to a free country as a prisoner in my mind,
- 00:05:11.734 --> 00:05:15.972
- As a muslim woman with a muslim ideology.
- 00:05:15.972 --> 00:05:19.509
- Yeah.
- 00:05:19.742 --> 00:05:20.810
- And this man literally had a knife to your throat.
- 00:05:20.810 --> 00:05:23.579
- Your life was in jeopardy.
- 00:05:23.579 --> 00:05:24.847
- Thank god you were able to flee to the united states in 1996.
- 00:05:24.847 --> 00:05:29.619
- And life at first does.
- 00:05:29.619 --> 00:05:31.687
- It's a free country.
- 00:05:31.687 --> 00:05:32.755
- Of course.
- 00:05:32.755 --> 00:05:33.923
- You're doing well career wise, but on the inside, you're
- 00:05:33.923 --> 00:05:36.993
- Still a bit of a mess, right?
- 00:05:36.993 --> 00:05:38.327
- Talk more about your inner struggles
- 00:05:38.327 --> 00:05:40.229
- When you arrive in the united states.
- 00:05:40.229 --> 00:05:43.232
- Yes. usually, like everybody, you try to change
- 00:05:43.232 --> 00:05:46.636
- Your external circumstances.
- 00:05:46.636 --> 00:05:48.671
- But, your mindset, your trauma,
- 00:05:48.671 --> 00:05:51.808
- Your wounds, your bleeding is still there.
- 00:05:51.808 --> 00:05:54.777
- So i was the same woman in a different country.
- 00:05:54.777 --> 00:05:58.281
- And i was always thinking, without man,
- 00:05:58.281 --> 00:06:01.451
- Without men telling me what to do,
- 00:06:01.451 --> 00:06:04.020
- What to wear, what, to eat, what to think.
- 00:06:04.020 --> 00:06:07.790
- I wasn't an individual
- 00:06:07.790 --> 00:06:09.358
- Because i didn't have self-worth or identity through identity.
- 00:06:09.358 --> 00:06:13.729
- So it led me in other relationships that it was
- 00:06:13.729 --> 00:06:17.433
- Abusive and a lot of rejection, abandonment and abuse,
- 00:06:17.433 --> 00:06:22.505
- Continuously adding more to my traumas
- 00:06:22.505 --> 00:06:25.741
- Until the day i planned my suicide.
- 00:06:25.741 --> 00:06:29.479
- I decided that i was going to take my life,
- 00:06:29.479 --> 00:06:32.448
- And i started contemplating to kill myself
- 00:06:32.448 --> 00:06:36.986
- Because life was not worth living for me.
- 00:06:36.986 --> 00:06:39.555
- And you had two abortions along the way, as you said,
- 00:06:39.555 --> 00:06:43.025
- Very rough relationships.
- 00:06:43.025 --> 00:06:44.393
- You were in here in america as well.
- 00:06:44.393 --> 00:06:46.496
- You had overwhelming fear, feelings of shame and guilt,
- 00:06:46.496 --> 00:06:49.765
- And the enemy of our souls was pointing at you and saying,
- 00:06:49.765 --> 00:06:52.835
- You're a murderer, but god has forgiven you.
- 00:06:52.835 --> 00:06:56.205
- You didn't know it at the time, but he had.
- 00:06:56.205 --> 00:06:58.241
- You're suicidal.
- 00:06:58.241 --> 00:06:59.675
- You have this encounter
- 00:06:59.675 --> 00:07:01.177
- With your boss at work who was a christian.
- 00:07:01.177 --> 00:07:04.547
- Tell us more about that.
- 00:07:04.547 --> 00:07:05.581
- In your moment of greatest need.
- 00:07:05.581 --> 00:07:07.550
- God sends this man in your path.
- 00:07:07.550 --> 00:07:10.987
- Yes, eric.
- 00:07:11.287 --> 00:07:12.455
- I ran to the restroom to have a fight with god,
- 00:07:12.455 --> 00:07:15.124
- And i didn't know which god at the time
- 00:07:15.124 --> 00:07:17.426
- Because i went to into several bible studies at work place,
- 00:07:17.426 --> 00:07:21.631
- Thank god.
- 00:07:21.631 --> 00:07:22.732
- And my boss was witnessing to me, during that time.
- 00:07:22.732 --> 00:07:27.970
- But i made my mind and i was going to kill myself.
- 00:07:27.970 --> 00:07:31.841
- So i went to the restroom
- 00:07:31.841 --> 00:07:33.276
- And i started just having this fight with god,
- 00:07:33.276 --> 00:07:36.012
- This closure, before i end my life.
- 00:07:36.012 --> 00:07:39.048
- And then i cried and i hit this,
- 00:07:39.048 --> 00:07:42.385
- You know, fight with him in my own way.
- 00:07:42.385 --> 00:07:44.921
- And then i came to my office and i sit down,
- 00:07:44.921 --> 00:07:48.090
- And my boss called me to his office,
- 00:07:48.090 --> 00:07:50.526
- And he started telling me that god knew jesus, knew
- 00:07:50.526 --> 00:07:54.797
- About my suicide plans, and he told me all about my
- 00:07:54.797 --> 00:07:58.801
- Childhood and my life without me sharing anything with them.
- 00:07:58.801 --> 00:08:03.472
- And i knew that jesus christ was real.
- 00:08:03.472 --> 00:08:06.475
- He was in the room,
- 00:08:06.475 --> 00:08:08.377
- And he wanted to say my life at that very point.
- 00:08:08.377 --> 00:08:11.881
- And, and i surrender my life to him.
- 00:08:11.881 --> 00:08:14.750
- Weeping bitterly on the floor.
- 00:08:15.351 --> 00:08:18.187
- I'm just saying yes.
- 00:08:18.187 --> 00:08:19.689
- Yes to jesus.
- 00:08:19.689 --> 00:08:22.725
- Coming up after the break, it goes from a 12 year
- 00:08:22.725 --> 00:08:25.528
- Old little girl dreaming of becoming a suicide bomber
- 00:08:25.528 --> 00:08:29.332
- To a powerful christian evangelist reaching millions
- 00:08:29.332 --> 00:08:32.802
- Around the world.
- 00:08:32.802 --> 00:08:34.203
- But what happened after she gave her life to jesus?
- 00:08:34.203 --> 00:08:37.907
- How does someone raised under radical islam begin
- 00:08:37.907 --> 00:08:40.576
- Their very first steps as a follower of christ?
- 00:08:40.576 --> 00:08:44.113

- What happens after a radical muslim woman encounters
- 00:08:53.193 --> 00:08:56.730
- Jesus and her entire world changes in an instant?
- 00:08:56.730 --> 00:09:00.600
- For isik abla,
- 00:09:00.934 --> 00:09:02.002
- The transformation was immediate and supernatural.
- 00:09:02.002 --> 00:09:05.505
- Take a look.
- 00:09:05.839 --> 00:09:08.308
- Tell us about the immediate aftermath.
- 00:09:08.308 --> 00:09:10.310
- Okay, look, you're this muslim girl from turkey.
- 00:09:10.310 --> 00:09:12.846
- Now you're a christian in the united states.
- 00:09:12.846 --> 00:09:14.714
- All of a sudden, how did it go in the early stages?
- 00:09:14.714 --> 00:09:18.084
- What was your early faith walk like?
- 00:09:18.084 --> 00:09:20.954
- Yes. and i
- 00:09:21.254 --> 00:09:22.355
- Smile when i think
- 00:09:22.355 --> 00:09:23.623
- Of those very innocent, unadulterated, very passionate,
- 00:09:23.623 --> 00:09:28.261
- On fire faith of any believer coming from islam.
- 00:09:28.261 --> 00:09:32.198
- Because i didn't know
- 00:09:32.198 --> 00:09:33.933
- Any doctrine. i didn't know any theology.
- 00:09:33.933 --> 00:09:36.703
- I could not explain about trinity.
- 00:09:36.703 --> 00:09:40.140
- But i said yes to jesus because i knew that he was real,
- 00:09:40.140 --> 00:09:43.543
- And i knew that he was in the room and i knew it.
- 00:09:43.543 --> 00:09:46.813
- I knew that there was light at the end of the tunnel.
- 00:09:46.813 --> 00:09:50.183
- So from that moment on, that suicidal woman was gone,
- 00:09:50.183 --> 00:09:54.020
- And i could run on the street and kiss and hug everybody.
- 00:09:54.020 --> 00:09:58.158
- And not only that, i didn't know the meaning of ministry.
- 00:09:58.158 --> 00:10:01.661
- I did no meaning of being saved.
- 00:10:01.661 --> 00:10:04.330
- All these christians, i had no clue.
- 00:10:04.330 --> 00:10:06.933
- But my first week in christ, i lit about a half
- 00:10:06.933 --> 00:10:11.204
- A dozen people to the lord just by telling that
- 00:10:11.204 --> 00:10:14.574
- Jesus christ saved my life and he is real.
- 00:10:14.574 --> 00:10:17.844
- He is a true god. yeah, and you haven't stopped since.
- 00:10:17.844 --> 00:10:20.680
- Part of your ministry is
- 00:10:20.680 --> 00:10:21.881
- You have a great heart for evangelizing muslims.
- 00:10:21.881 --> 00:10:25.952
- Now you're a former muslim. you know that world very well.
- 00:10:25.952 --> 00:10:28.421
- Of course, being raised muslim in turkey.
- 00:10:28.421 --> 00:10:31.157
- Talk about that.
- 00:10:31.157 --> 00:10:32.158
- Talk about your heart for the muslim world,
- 00:10:32.158 --> 00:10:34.427
- And also share why islam is so dangerous.
- 00:10:34.427 --> 00:10:38.064
- I mean, not only to individuals
- 00:10:38.064 --> 00:10:39.432
- In the muslim world but to the west right now.
- 00:10:39.432 --> 00:10:41.968
- Look, in europe in particular, i look at a place like london.
- 00:10:41.968 --> 00:10:45.305
- We have the muslim population exploding, and there's
- 00:10:45.305 --> 00:10:48.475
- A cultural civilizational clash playing out right now.
- 00:10:48.475 --> 00:10:52.078
- Talk about your heart for the muslim world
- 00:10:52.078 --> 00:10:54.781
- And the challenges all of us face from the islamic system.
- 00:10:54.781 --> 00:10:58.952
- Yes. eric, after
- 00:10:59.352 --> 00:11:01.421
- Few years after, i have been evangelizing in america,
- 00:11:01.421 --> 00:11:05.892
- And of course, september 11 took place and islam
- 00:11:05.892 --> 00:11:09.095
- Became a hot topic in america and in the world.
- 00:11:09.095 --> 00:11:13.066
- My heart started stirring towards my people,
- 00:11:13.066 --> 00:11:17.203
- And i started seeing the needs of their salvation
- 00:11:17.203 --> 00:11:20.940
- That i wasn't interested in evangelizing to the muslims.
- 00:11:20.940 --> 00:11:24.611
- But god started putting this burden in my heart for them.
- 00:11:24.611 --> 00:11:28.782
- And i started seeing islam not only as a religion, but
- 00:11:28.782 --> 00:11:32.018
- Also a very dangerous ideology.
- 00:11:32.018 --> 00:11:35.088
- Just like you said right now.
- 00:11:35.088 --> 00:11:37.123
- And, i started talking to them not as a preacher,
- 00:11:37.123 --> 00:11:40.994
- Not even as an evangelist, but as a next door neighbor.
- 00:11:40.994 --> 00:11:44.898
- One of them.
- 00:11:45.231 --> 00:11:46.399
- And they started creating a great impact
- 00:11:46.399 --> 00:11:49.302
- In the muslim world.
- 00:11:49.302 --> 00:11:50.436
- And we started seeing incredible amount of testimonies
- 00:11:50.436 --> 00:11:54.207
- Coming, salvations coming in with threats coming,
- 00:11:54.207 --> 00:11:57.777
- And even me leading terrorists to the lords, to jesus christ
- 00:11:57.777 --> 00:12:03.016
- In a miraculous way, of course, salvation
- 00:12:03.016 --> 00:12:05.952
- Is a supernatural experience, not from me, but from him,
- 00:12:05.952 --> 00:12:09.823
- But also seeing the danger of islam.
- 00:12:09.823 --> 00:12:12.358
- I went to british parliament and i saw a,
- 00:12:12.358 --> 00:12:16.162
- As you said, england and the ladies
- 00:12:16.162 --> 00:12:18.998
- And the lords of the parliaments against islam.
- 00:12:18.998 --> 00:12:22.335
- Because not muslims only.
- 00:12:22.335 --> 00:12:25.004
- We need to love them, but we need to understand how islam
- 00:12:25.004 --> 00:12:29.108
- Is like a termite spreading around the western world.
- 00:12:29.108 --> 00:12:33.413
- And this is one of the main ideologies of islam.
- 00:12:33.413 --> 00:12:37.383
- It's that is why it's very dangerous.
- 00:12:37.383 --> 00:12:39.519
- Even in america today, when we are seeing all these,
- 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:43.723
- Divisions, they are is is a result of
- 00:12:43.723 --> 00:12:47.460
- Ideological islam, jihadist islam.
- 00:12:47.460 --> 00:12:50.296
- Right now we are seeing
- 00:12:50.296 --> 00:12:51.731
- And this is why i want to warn every single american
- 00:12:51.731 --> 00:12:55.602
- That islam plays this role of, we are people of peace.
- 00:12:55.602 --> 00:13:00.206
- We are an and, you know, belief system of peace.
- 00:13:00.206 --> 00:13:03.176
- And this is the biggest deception of islam in the world.
- 00:13:03.176 --> 00:13:06.646
- Yeah.
- 00:13:06.880 --> 00:13:08.114
- And we see these campus protests on american college campuses
- 00:13:08.114 --> 00:13:10.383
- In the streets of new york city,
- 00:13:10.383 --> 00:13:11.985
- Where the radical left, by the way,
- 00:13:11.985 --> 00:13:13.620
- Is aligning with the islamists.
- 00:13:13.620 --> 00:13:15.355
- It's a very unholy alliance.
- 00:13:15.355 --> 00:13:17.557
- Hey, you mentioned the threats against you
- 00:13:17.557 --> 00:13:19.459
- When you're preaching the gospel
- 00:13:19.459 --> 00:13:20.660
- To the muslim world that comes with the territory.
- 00:13:20.660 --> 00:13:22.862
- Needless to say, you sick.
- 00:13:22.862 --> 00:13:24.163
- But that one story in particular about leading a terrorist
- 00:13:24.163 --> 00:13:28.201
- To christ, that's a powerful one.
- 00:13:28.201 --> 00:13:30.336
- So tell us more about that.
- 00:13:30.336 --> 00:13:32.505
- Thank you.
- 00:13:32.805 --> 00:13:33.706
- It was one of the threats that i received
- 00:13:33.706 --> 00:13:35.808
- And this man and told me until the last drop of my blood,
- 00:13:35.808 --> 00:13:40.113
- My breath, i am going to find you and i'm going to kill you.
- 00:13:40.113 --> 00:13:44.250
- I know what you are doing.
- 00:13:44.250 --> 00:13:45.952
- I know how you are converting people to christ
- 00:13:45.952 --> 00:13:49.088
- And they just my life mission and i struggle with this,
- 00:13:49.088 --> 00:13:53.126
- I struggle, i had fear, i had fear factor.
- 00:13:53.126 --> 00:13:57.230
- At that very moment, jesus said to me,
- 00:13:58.064 --> 00:14:00.400
- How would i answer to that?
- 00:14:00.400 --> 00:14:02.602
- Because i am, i taught you how to love your enemies.
- 00:14:02.602 --> 00:14:06.372
- And i wrote back to him and i said, you want to kill me
- 00:14:06.372 --> 00:14:09.709
- Until the last drop of your blood.
- 00:14:09.709 --> 00:14:12.045
- I am going to love you because my
- 00:14:12.045 --> 00:14:15.014
- Jesus christ told me, love your enemies.
- 00:14:15.014 --> 00:14:18.151
- And that completely shocked him.
- 00:14:18.151 --> 00:14:20.954
- And he started asking me,
- 00:14:20.954 --> 00:14:22.889
- How come someone can love their enemies?
- 00:14:22.889 --> 00:14:26.526
- Tell me about how you became a christian and they'd open up
- 00:14:26.526 --> 00:14:30.530
- A conversation and make a long story short,
- 00:14:30.530 --> 00:14:33.733
- At the end of, a few weeks,
- 00:14:34.334 --> 00:14:37.036
- He wrote to me and he said, i'm ready.
- 00:14:37.036 --> 00:14:40.006
- I'm ready to give my life to jesus.
- 00:14:40.006 --> 00:14:42.842
- He said, these are amazing testimonies.
- 00:14:42.842 --> 00:14:44.978
- And you call yourself, by the way of freedom warrior.
- 00:14:44.978 --> 00:14:49.282
- What do you mean by that?
- 00:14:49.282 --> 00:14:51.250
- Well, i think the biggest
- 00:14:51.818 --> 00:14:53.286
- Freedom warriors, jesus christ, he's the commander of our army.
- 00:14:53.286 --> 00:14:57.423
- And what we do is to, we are chain breakers, basically.
- 00:14:57.423 --> 00:15:01.361
- Eric, you are as well.
- 00:15:01.361 --> 00:15:03.596
- We break the chains by telling the truth.
- 00:15:03.596 --> 00:15:06.032
- You shall find the truth, and the truth will set you free.
- 00:15:06.032 --> 00:15:09.535
- It's all about delivering the truth to those
- 00:15:09.535 --> 00:15:12.772
- Who are living in darkness and deception.
- 00:15:12.772 --> 00:15:16.142
- Coming up, it explains why the rise of jihadism,
- 00:15:17.143 --> 00:15:21.080
- Anti-semitism and global chaos all point back to one
- 00:15:21.080 --> 00:15:25.451
- Central truth.
- 00:15:25.451 --> 00:15:26.953
- Israel is god's prophetic dividing line, folks.
- 00:15:26.953 --> 00:15:30.823
- You won't want to miss this.
- 00:15:30.823 --> 00:15:32.358
- Stick around.
- 00:15:32.358 --> 00:15:35.009
- Stick around.
- 00:15:35.009 --> 00:15:36.969
- And speaking of which, speaking of freedom
- 00:15:37.836 --> 00:15:39.872
- And speaking of the islamic threat in the west,
- 00:15:39.872 --> 00:15:42.975
- This all kind of ties together.
- 00:15:42.975 --> 00:15:44.510
- I believe he spoke with the nation of israel.
- 00:15:44.510 --> 00:15:47.312
- I see israel as the first line
- 00:15:47.312 --> 00:15:49.081
- Of defense for western civilization. number one.
- 00:15:49.081 --> 00:15:51.717
- Number two, it's god's land, and jerusalem is god's city.
- 00:15:51.717 --> 00:15:55.287
- You've had some powerful experiences in jerusalem.
- 00:15:55.287 --> 00:15:58.390
- You've got a great heart, not only for the muslim world,
- 00:15:58.390 --> 00:16:00.626
- For all people, for israel and the jewish people, as well.
- 00:16:00.626 --> 00:16:04.463
- Tell us more about that.
- 00:16:04.463 --> 00:16:05.564
- Tell us how you develop that heart,
- 00:16:05.564 --> 00:16:08.067
- That love for israel and the jewish people,
- 00:16:08.067 --> 00:16:10.269
- Especially coming from a muslim background in turkey.
- 00:16:10.269 --> 00:16:13.539
- Yes. thank you for asking
- 00:16:14.106 --> 00:16:15.507
- Me this question, because is a muslim, radical muslim.
- 00:16:15.507 --> 00:16:19.278
- I was programed to hate israel.
- 00:16:19.278 --> 00:16:22.414
- I was programed to hate jews.
- 00:16:22.414 --> 00:16:25.617
- And it breaks my heart right now to see how jihadist islam
- 00:16:25.617 --> 00:16:30.255
- Is spreading antisemitism around the world,
- 00:16:30.255 --> 00:16:33.592
- Even in america, in the college campuses,
- 00:16:33.592 --> 00:16:36.328
- We are seeing this deception.
- 00:16:36.328 --> 00:16:37.996
- We are seeing this hatred
- 00:16:37.996 --> 00:16:39.898
- That was happening in hitler's time.
- 00:16:39.898 --> 00:16:42.367
- And this is the same agenda and same propaganda.
- 00:16:42.367 --> 00:16:45.838
- And, i was very indifferent when i came to
- 00:16:45.838 --> 00:16:49.007
- Christ about, jews and israel.
- 00:16:49.007 --> 00:16:52.377
- I was indifferent.
- 00:16:52.377 --> 00:16:53.579
- I didn't have the hatred that i used to have, but
- 00:16:53.579 --> 00:16:56.415
- I was like, i don't care until i ran to israel and god's
- 00:16:56.415 --> 00:17:02.421
- Completely wrecked my world, turned my world upside down.
- 00:17:02.421 --> 00:17:06.758
- And i was weeping in the streets of jerusalem.
- 00:17:06.758 --> 00:17:09.995
- Everywhere i met a lot.
- 00:17:09.995 --> 00:17:11.930
- So i made a lot of jewish friends, not messianic jews,
- 00:17:11.930 --> 00:17:15.667
- Jewish jews.
- 00:17:16.001 --> 00:17:17.202
- And those started
- 00:17:17.202 --> 00:17:19.171
- Putting this supernatural love for israel in my heart.
- 00:17:19.171 --> 00:17:22.875
- And i want to tell you, i cannot preach the gospel
- 00:17:22.875 --> 00:17:25.344
- To the muslim world without, loving israel and people
- 00:17:25.344 --> 00:17:29.548
- Of course, on i cannot preach love of jesus christ
- 00:17:29.548 --> 00:17:33.752
- And call myself a christian without standing up for israel.
- 00:17:33.752 --> 00:17:38.457
- It doesn't go separates.
- 00:17:38.457 --> 00:17:39.958
- It is together for me.
- 00:17:39.958 --> 00:17:41.994
- And i see the agenda of anti-semitism today
- 00:17:41.994 --> 00:17:45.631
- Around the world.
- 00:17:45.631 --> 00:17:46.798
- How well it is being injected in the lives of minds
- 00:17:46.798 --> 00:17:51.470
- Of students, young americans, even people in the church
- 00:17:51.470 --> 00:17:56.208
- Are divided because of this evil agenda.
- 00:17:56.208 --> 00:17:59.511
- Do you get a sense along those lines?
- 00:17:59.511 --> 00:18:01.780
- Look, we see revival perhaps stirring right now in america,
- 00:18:01.780 --> 00:18:05.784
- It seems, and it seems there's a great harvest right now.
- 00:18:05.784 --> 00:18:10.022
- The harvest is ripe.
- 00:18:10.022 --> 00:18:11.557
- Do you get that sense?
- 00:18:11.557 --> 00:18:12.624
- Do you get that sense
- 00:18:12.624 --> 00:18:13.559
- That perhaps we are in a prophetic moment
- 00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:16.195
- And that there's a sense of urgency
- 00:18:16.195 --> 00:18:18.897
- Right now to be about the father's business?
- 00:18:18.897 --> 00:18:22.301
- Absolutely. i am on the same page with you.
- 00:18:22.301 --> 00:18:24.536
- I think things are falling apart for god to put things
- 00:18:24.536 --> 00:18:28.674
- In the right places, right now.
- 00:18:29.308 --> 00:18:31.710
- This is a very prophetic era.
- 00:18:31.710 --> 00:18:34.046
- This is a this is god writing a history,
- 00:18:34.046 --> 00:18:37.416
- And he's allowing all these things to happen.
- 00:18:37.416 --> 00:18:39.785
- First for him to come, reign and rule and be glorified.
- 00:18:39.785 --> 00:18:44.556
- Great awakening has already started.
- 00:18:44.556 --> 00:18:47.459
- We are seeing it in the muslim world.
- 00:18:47.459 --> 00:18:49.661
- I can tell you.
- 00:18:49.661 --> 00:18:50.696
- Yes, we are receiving incredible,
- 00:18:50.696 --> 00:18:52.664
- Tremendous amount of responses from the muslim world,
- 00:18:52.664 --> 00:18:56.435
- But it's not me doing this is a time
- 00:18:56.435 --> 00:18:59.338
- And an era, and it's a place in the history
- 00:18:59.338 --> 00:19:02.808
- That god is making things very easy for us.
- 00:19:02.808 --> 00:19:06.478
- All we need to do is to stand.
- 00:19:06.478 --> 00:19:09.047
- Stand united, stand together for the truth
- 00:19:09.047 --> 00:19:12.918
- Is happening already. incredible.
- 00:19:12.918 --> 00:19:15.420
- Well said. he's sick.
- 00:19:15.420 --> 00:19:16.521
- And hey, by the way, you've got this great 365 day
- 00:19:16.521 --> 00:19:20.525
- Devotional book everyone needs to pick up.
- 00:19:20.525 --> 00:19:22.861
- It's called heavenly whispers.
- 00:19:22.861 --> 00:19:24.896
- Tell us more about it.
- 00:19:24.896 --> 00:19:27.065
- Well, he.
- 00:19:27.366 --> 00:19:28.533
- When the whispers started bursting during my very dark
- 00:19:28.533 --> 00:19:31.903
- Season, of course, those seasons are very precious.
- 00:19:31.903 --> 00:19:36.008
- And when i was going through a major trial in my personal life,
- 00:19:36.008 --> 00:19:40.145
- God started also pouring because his great grace is
- 00:19:40.145 --> 00:19:44.283
- Sufficient when we are weak and we are strong.
- 00:19:44.283 --> 00:19:47.919
- And those, everyday devotionals, one
- 00:19:47.919 --> 00:19:51.356
- By one was given to me by god.
- 00:19:51.356 --> 00:19:54.693
- Every single day during my devotional time.
- 00:19:54.693 --> 00:19:57.562
- And then they became 365, and i had to share it with the world,
- 00:19:57.562 --> 00:20:03.168
- For trauma healing, for empowerment, for people
- 00:20:03.168 --> 00:20:06.772
- To hear from god when they feel like they cannot themselves.
- 00:20:06.772 --> 00:20:12.344
- So just to be a door opener for them
- 00:20:12.344 --> 00:20:15.147
- To go into a deeper intimacy.
- 00:20:15.147 --> 00:20:18.116
- And those heavenly whispers were a lot for me.
- 00:20:18.116 --> 00:20:21.153
- But those little whispers saved my life.
- 00:20:21.153 --> 00:20:24.089
- Eric. yeah, that still small voice.
- 00:20:24.089 --> 00:20:26.325

- Isaac, can you take us out right now in prayer?

- Not only in the muslim world, but in america.
- 00:21:27.919 --> 00:21:31.089
- Because you love the nations and you love this nation,

- Amen. issac, thank you so much.
- 00:21:48.573 --> 00:21:50.776
- This was great folks.
- 00:21:50.776 --> 00:21:51.943
- Heavenly whispers pick it up.
- 00:21:51.943 --> 00:21:54.179
- Keep up the great work. we will see you again soon.
- 00:21:54.179 --> 00:21:55.947
- God bless you. thanks again. god bless you. thank you eric,
- 00:21:55.947 --> 00:22:00.118
- A former
- 00:22:00.385 --> 00:22:01.586
- Radical muslim now boldly standing for israel, exposing
- 00:22:01.586 --> 00:22:05.590
- Jihadist ideology and calling this a prophetic.
- 00:22:05.590 --> 00:22:09.361
- Our established warning couldn't come at a more critical time.
- 00:22:09.361 --> 00:22:13.932
- Up next, my final thoughts on the stakes.
- 00:22:13.932 --> 00:22:16.668
- This season.
- 00:22:16.668 --> 00:22:17.669
- We are living in and the hope we have moving
- 00:22:17.669 --> 00:22:20.272
- Forward.
- 00:22:20.272 --> 00:22:25.012
- Forward.
- 00:22:25.012 --> 00:22:28.213
- Welcome back to stakelbeck tonight, folks.
- 00:22:29.080 --> 00:22:30.782
- What an incredible testimony from isik abla.
- 00:22:30.782 --> 00:22:33.752
- Again, no one is beyond god's reach.
- 00:22:33.752 --> 00:22:37.823
- Even a young muslim girl in turkey.
- 00:22:37.823 --> 00:22:40.091
- I think of the book of acts, chapter 17, verses 26 and 27
- 00:22:40.091 --> 00:22:44.162
- From one man
- 00:22:44.162 --> 00:22:45.464
- He made all the nations that they should inhabit
- 00:22:45.464 --> 00:22:48.300
- The whole earth.
- 00:22:48.300 --> 00:22:49.367
- And he marked out their appointed times in history
- 00:22:49.367 --> 00:22:52.070
- And the boundaries of their lands.
- 00:22:52.070 --> 00:22:53.972
- God did this so that they would seek him
- 00:22:53.972 --> 00:22:56.575
- And perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not
- 00:22:56.575 --> 00:23:00.245
- Far from any one of us again,
- 00:23:00.245 --> 00:23:02.347
- Even for that little muslim girl in turkey is a goblin.
- 00:23:02.347 --> 00:23:05.584
- What a testimony!
- 00:23:05.584 --> 00:23:06.618
- Her life is one of the world's great evangelists.
- 00:23:06.618 --> 00:23:08.954
- Follow her facebook and across social media.
- 00:23:08.954 --> 00:23:11.423
- She is an amazing, amazing disciple for the lord.
- 00:23:11.423 --> 00:23:15.026
- And hey tomorrow
- 00:23:15.026 --> 00:23:16.127
- Bridget, gabrielle,
- 00:23:16.127 --> 00:23:17.062
- Doctor michael, you suffer here
- 00:23:17.062 --> 00:23:18.497
- Talking about the islamic threat to the west.
- 00:23:18.497 --> 00:23:21.032
- It's going to be a great show.
- 00:23:21.032 --> 00:23:22.100
- Until then, god bless you and we'll see you soon.
- 00:23:22.100 --> 00:23:22.100
