Turning The Hearts

Behold, I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming

of the great and dreadful day of the Lord.

And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,

and the hearts of the children to their fathers...

(Malachi 4:5,6)

In 2016 God was very much at work in Tunisia, calling hundreds:

God Protects His Children By A firebolt

4th July 2016. 12:19. From Haroon: Following a miracle which Khalifa and his brother did in a school here 35 parents plus their children declared to embrace the Christian faith. This has caused an uproar in this school. The parents were told to withdraw their allegiance to Jesus Christ but they refused.

Two of them said that they saw [in vision] some Muslims being drugged and cast into hell fire. Even Arafat had been thrown by Sharon to that hell.

They burned Muslim Books such as the Hadith (the sayings of the prophet) because they were told to do so by the Holy Angel who warned them not to go on reading those human ideas. In the morning today 13 Muslim warriors vowed not to observe the day of sawm (fast) till they burn all the homes of those believers. The 9 who went ahead to start that mayhem were struck by a fierce rainless firebolt early this morning. I e-mailed Khalifa and Yahya but they were very far away and may come here later. The sudden terror has caught everybody with great fear. Even the police could only remove the bodies from that spot and they have no way to arrest anyone. As my two brothers could not come back quickly, they sent me a line saying "Report it to Malcolm we also will talk after we have seen the scene." What a harsh judgement. I am trembling up to now. God is powerful. God bless you and God bless MM.

17th July 2016. 18:05. From Yahya: This is about our visit to a family of seven adults. They have been reading the literature we gave them a month ago. They are so happy to come up with understanding the message. They also had many questions such as does MM provide Bibles which we replied in a no, and encouraged them to try and get them from the bookstores.

It's encouraging that the family accepts Jesus Christ as their Saviour. The Messiah is calling people through the MM messages.

Khalifa had two dreams which showed him a great man bringing many Bibles and quite a number of books to us. He was told that our preaching will impact mostly Muslims who had partially been accepting the Bible as God’s word.

Miraculous Baptism

1st August 2016. 19:40. From Yahya:

We were planning to baptize 10 people this Friday 5th August 2016. But last evening 5 of them came and insisted that they should be baptized straight away, at that very moment. I tried to persuade them that it is better to wait until we do it to all on the promised day. But they didn't want to wait because they saw Jesus or an angel who commanded them to come to us for that ritual before that time because the other 5 are not to be trusted, they are only trying to join our mission to spy out what we say about Islam, and they will turn to betray the work we do. The devoted 5 told me that they have studied Dreams and Visions From God and found similar situations where God had shown people when traitors are soon to sneak in with flattery and cause damage. It was late but we discussed this with Khalifa who agreed to baptize them in a nearby pool of water 1 km away. It was a dark night. We had a torch but didn't use it because a super- natural light appeared all around the pool. It was a soft light but bright as a torch.

We didn't become afraid. We knew that God was doing this.

After the ceremony we went back to our building and discussed what can be done about the remaining 5 people. We resolved that we shall use delayed tactics till they give up. The light was with us from the pool to our house but there was nothing extraordinary more than that; we didn't hear any voice. We thanked God for his goodness. Then the men went in full grace of God.

11th August 2016. 17:31. From Khalifa in Tunisia:

I had a dream of me hearing at my window the flapping of wings of angels and then when I looked up I saw many angels all dressed in white flying around our house. When I looked at them, they each had a Bible in their hands. It felt so wonderful seeing them (many of them) flying around. Then wings were sounding loudly proclaiming Jubilee Jubilee, near near, OR hear hear (something like that). ...I woke up a trembling person.

Converted Through Trauma

30th October 2016. 11:47. From Tunisia: Aaban was brought up in Tunisia and became Christian. He never believed in Jesus Christ or the Christian religion, he says. He drove a taxi to support himself and his wife, most of his friends were alcoholics as well. His wife however was a strong Christian in our group, a woman who prayed with us every day without his knowledge. If he would see his wife praying or reading the Bible, he would not allow her.

Despite her husband's lost condition, she held on to the promises of God and prayed regularly for his repentance. One night Aaban got drunk, quarreled with his wife, and severely beat her. He left the house, got into his taxi and sped off into the night in his impaired condition. His taxi crashed, he was injured, and his left eye came out and was totally destroyed. He says "I saw death face to face."

When his wife heard the news of the accident she called me and we rushed to the hospital with some members of our group. They knelt down before God in the hospital. Khalifa and Haroon read the Bible aloud and his wife cried out to the Lord to heal her husband. Aaban asked God to give him his life as a new creation. While doctors performed surgery to save his life, Aaban had a near death experience. He said "my soul [spirit] was trying to get a seat in heaven." He recounts the angels would not allow him to enter into heaven but pushed him toward hell. But because of his wife's fervent intercession in prayer, Aaban believes Jesus extended His grace and mercy to him. He said Jesus did not allow him to fall into hell, but held him safely in His mighty nail-pierced hands because of his wife’s intercession.

The Lord showed him his wife and prayer team kneeling and praying for him with tears. When Aaban saw us he was cut to the heart. Then Jesus turned to him and said: "Go, be saved and be baptized and live for Me with your family."

During the operation, there was a point when Aaban's heart stopped. The doctors thought of declaring his death, he recalled. But after a few seconds he started breathing. Thanks to God now he is alright.

Aaban said when Jesus allowed his soul [spirit] to go back to his body, he started breathing. Then the Lord's voice spoke to him again, "It is better for you to enter the Kingdom of God with one eye, than to have two eyes and be cast into the fiery hell. Let it be a testimony of yours to witness about Me."

He recovered but his left eye has been totally removed, he doesn't worry about it, because the Lord wants him to be with Him in His Kingdom without one eye. He said God loved him so He did not allow him to go to His Kingdom with both eyes. Praise the Lord for His wonderful love.

He confessed all of his sins and he accepted the Lord Jesus as his personal Saviour and Lord. Within a few days he was baptized in the Lord’s name and is witnessing about the Lord Jesus Christ along with his family. Though he only has one eye, he still drives his taxi. His employer now believes in Jesus, and gave him a car to drive. He has two sons, he is so happy to see them rejoicing in the Lord because of conversion and ministry activities.  Timothy

Quarrels Quelled

2nd November 2016. 18:40. From Tunisia:

My name is Aida. I live with my husband and six children in the village of... We belonged to amajbisikh family and actively celebrated the religious festivals and performed the rituals of our religion. Like our neighbours, we had a small temple in our home where we offered incense and other offerings. We faced many financial difficulties, causing unrest with our family. Our family members and other relatives fought daily. Every evening the village headman had to come to make peace between us and our neighbours who were relatives.

One day the fight got serious. Many of our men were involved, some got injured. A complaint was registered with the police. Seeking medical treatment and resolving the police case cost a lot of money. My husband was not actually involved in the fight, but he was blamed by others as the culprit. We had to leave our village and go to live in another village, but things did not improve, we were constantly fighting among ourselves. My husband would come home drunk and beat me and treated the children badly. Our financial difficulty became worse. All our savings were fast disappearing one of my relatives said "you need to call on certain religious saints, feed them with the truth. By doing this your bad days will be over." We followed the whole series of rituals as prescribed to us. We called the saints, we fed them and donated clothes and money. Religious leaders performed puja (worship) and many cleansing rituals in our house. However, even after so much expenses there was no relief. After that I tried other religions. I started casting satanic magic spells and I visited places that were considered holy, like tombs of Muslim saints. I was told that those saints would bless me and my family if I visited the tombs with offerings. I did that faithfully, and still there was no change in our status. We were just getting poorer.

One day my daughter went to visit some relatives in the town of... While there she went with some other relatives to a Christian church prayer meeting. When she told me about it, I wanted her not to go there again, but my daughter persisted and kept going regularly. Finally, I decided to go and see what happened there. I saw people singing and listening to teaching on God. I thought it strange but they had no idols or incense burning, only a big shade where people gathered. They sang songs and then taught people the word of God and then prayed. Some of the ladies told me of their problems that were solved by praying to God. When I heard their experiences, I asked them to pray for me and my family. Khalifa and the team prayed for us and invited my daughter and me to keep coming regularly to church. We attended every Sabbath. We might miss other important work, but never skipped going to church. Slowly we began to notice the change in our lives. Our family stopped fighting and beating each other; our relatives who had opposed us, wanted to make peace. Even our problems began to improve. Through this experience we realized that we had come to the right place for worship. We have begun to learn about God and His son Jesus, and that He is the true God. Now we are one big family, at peace with each other and regularly worshipping with Midnight Ministries, and Khalifa.

Delivered From Insanity

8th Nov 2016. 8:56. Tunisia: ...We came to the home of X the husband of Sasura... X was always naked because of his insanity. We found him with strong malaria and was sweating so much... He only had a light sheet around his waist and was sleeping on a worn out sofa. His wife... began praising God and started to pray... As if God was teaching us how demons fear the name of Jesus, we all unexpectedly began calling this name of Messiah Jesus to drive out Satan from this home. X shook terribly, jumped out of the chair and fell on the floor. He shouted that "navy officers have come to kill us." In short he was relieved from every ailment. He became clear minded. This is now a good family... He returned to us saying someone wanted to kill him for blasphemy [but he stood firm]. We prayed for him. Sasura and X are now Christians, but they are really poor in that home...

11th January 2017. 17:27. From Tunisia: Gospel in the jail: Recently at the women's jail in our country, we experienced their total lack of respect during our prayer. They were joking and laughing the whole time. After Khalifa finished the prayer, I asked for them to be respectful in future. That day our sermon for them was titled "I want to be a sheep." I shared with them the characteristics that are amazing about sheep and several verses in the Bible about sheep. One is in John chapter 10: "My sheep hear My voice" (Jn 10:27) and "He calls His own sheep by name and leads them out" (Jn 10:3).

As I was talking, the Holy spirit moved me to give a [prophetic] word to the ringleader of the disrespectful group. She knew God had called her when she was young. God had confirmed it but she had chosen not to be His sheep. Yet God still had the same desire for her (to be His sheep and answer His call for her life). She stopped bothering the others and looked at me with tears in her eyes. "You're right," she said, "when I was a child, God showed me His call, but I didn't want to follow Him. Even in jail, God was reaching out to me."

God offered a new call to accept Him and use her leadership abilities for Him. Some of the inmates had New Testaments that they had been given. As she began to pay attention and take notes, she told her friends to do the same, and they did! When I gave the invitation to accept Christ ten women including the troublemaker accepted Christ immediately. Another one asked to speak to us alone. She spoke about the fact that she is Colombian, and is left alone in the country and was angry about her imprisonment and treatment. I told her about recognizing her sin and lack of forgiveness. Slowly she accepted her role in the problem. Finally after counselling her she took prayer with us to receive Christ.

Everyone needs to know that God loves us and brings us to Himself with kindness. Sometimes He uses difficult times to offer us a new call, often when we have been disobedient.

To see 7 hardened criminals who changed from being disrespectful to being respectful and fervently studying the Bible, then accepting Christ as they shed tears of repentance, was simply beautiful! Praise God. God bless,  Haroon

10th January 2017. 18:28. From Tunisia:

I decided to give you so many thanks through Khalifa's e-mail, as I get ready to leave prison on 12th of this month and go home. I would like to thank you for helping change my life. I started reading your materials last month and in the past month your Why booklets have changed the way I think, feel and see the world. I am leaving prison with a whole new set of beliefs and I have never felt so peaceful and grateful as I do now. You have given me a way of life that I never knew was possible. It is so much better than anything I could have imagined. Life is easier, it's so much better, more peaceful. My ego isn't nearly as strong or loud in my head as it used to be, and things that used to be difficult in the past come naturally now and I hear the Holy Spirit urging me so much. I am so so grateful to you all. Your love and encouragements and the books of Midnight Ministries made all the difference in the world. Thank you so much I will continue pray for you and the Ministry. So that our Lord may open the doors for printing more booklets for the people who are still in prison. Those books will help them to change and come back to the Lord. Thank you so much. Mtinda

Raised From The Dead

30th October 2016. 9:04. From Linus in Tunisia: After lying naked and cold [dead] in a morgue for two days Sadia saw herself [in a vision when she was dead] hopelessly stuck at the bottom of a deep well, surrounded by corpses covered with linen sheets [depicts their spiritual death, not merely physical death]. Sadia had a vision of a tree growing at the top of the well. From its trunk, a branch moved toward her, as she lay on a hospital gurney. When it got close enough for her to reach the branch it changed into flesh as Sadia heard the words, "If you grab hold of My hands, I will bring you back to life." Taking hold of it with her cold, lifeless hand, Sadia woke to find her body covered from the neck down with a white sheet like other corpses around her.

Hearing the voices of Khalifa and Yahya, Sadia sat up on the frigid metal surface. "I'm alive, don't worry," she shouted as doctors entered the morgue a second time after running out scared moments before. The medical staff offered Sadia water, food and clothes and arranged to transport her to a university research hospital in Tunis, where she had travelled to visit a son imprisoned on trumped up charges.

Sadia surprised family members on her first Wednesday morning at home by leaving early, telling her stunned daughters "There’s somewhere I have to go." A largely Islamic community was Sadia’s destination.

Inside she now professed faith in Jesus Christ, leaving behind her Muslim faith. Since then Sadia's daughters and other son (the son inside the Tunisia prison suffered injuries, brain damage and died because of Muslims) accepted Midnight Ministries at last and are studying the Bible.

At 52 years of age, Sadia saw her 71-year-old mother and niece come to faith in Jesus. It was two of Sadia’s daughters who led their grandmother and cousin to the Lord. In a big surprise, Sadia’s oldest daughter recently came to know Jesus as well. She had been vehemently opposed to the gospel and against even having a Bible in her home.

Sadia shares her life from the dead experience and testimony of conversion from Islam to Christianity in her native language. A spiritual vision brought Sadia back from the dead and another vision.

A dream: While Sadia was in a coma, her cousin appeared to her in a dream and warned. "Sadia I don't like where I am. I am shocked and lost. There is no way I can go near God Almighty. I am a million miles away from Him. My deeds could not do me any good. But it is too late for me. Please find a Bible and find Jesus."

Saved From Committing Suicide

25th October 2016. 15:58. From Timothy in Tunisia: Faraghi was born and raised in a fanatic Muslim family. He strictly followed practices of Islam and prayed five times a day. Beset by hardships in his life, he prayed a heartfelt prayer one day, "I am facing so many problems in my own personal life and family life. I don't know how to overcome it. Please hear my prayer, answer me and help me to come out from all my troubles."

In his late fifties, his problems intensified and he combated depression. He hated life. He battled insomnia and suicidal thoughts. Friends supplied him with sedatives which he crushed and mixed with dagga to smoke in a dagga pipe. The wild dagga leaves are said to have a mild calming effect when smoked. In some users, the effects are similar to marijuana, but it is less potent. However it was not enough to cure his insomnia, so he began to inject it. Soon he became a drug addict and alcoholic.

Drugs satisfied him for a short time, but as his tolerance built up he was always looking for his next fix. A life devoted to drugs, alcohol, and promiscuity masked his depression, but deep inside it was still there. A dark cloud followed him wherever he went. One day Faraghi became despondent after a relationship soured with a "vulgar" young woman. Suicidal thoughts overwhelmed him.

He found a rope and a tree to hang himself. Little did he realize the tree was within earshot of an outdoor evangelistic meeting led by our groups from Midnight Ministries. As Faraghi clambered up the tree to tie the rope to hang himself, he heard Khalifa and Haroon preaching this message through a loudspeaker: "O, the man who is going to commit suicide, you don't have to die, for our Lord Jesus Christ was crucified and died for you and will grant you peace and life. He died as a ransom for your sins and rose from the dead to glorify you as His child. If you believe in Jesus you will be saved from sin, iniquities and all of your problems." The message pierced his heart.

Faraghi wanted to know more. He climbed down from the tree and walked toward the meeting. People who knew Faraghi’s reputation were afraid when they saw him. They knew him to be a fanatic Muslim, an alcoholic, and they saw the rope in his hand. Some jumped to the conclusion Faraghi was coming to attack the preacher. Several men tried to grab Faraghi but Yahya intervened and asked him to come up to the platform.

Faraghi explained what happened and asked for prayers. Khalifa told him more about Jesus and Faraghi got down on his knees in front of everyone. Other people joined in and they put their hands on Faraghi’s head and prayed. As they prayed Faraghi had an unusual God-inspired vision. In his vision he was like a sheep caught in a thicket about to be attacked by wild animals. He thought his life was over. Suddenly Jesus appeared as the Good Shepherd, saved him from the wild beasts, freed him from the brambles and thorns and carried him on His shoulder. Jesus transported him a long distance until they reached a sheepfold, surrounded by a beautiful strong wall. In the vision Jesus said to him "you are my child. I have marked you upon my palms as your Savior. Be my witness".

Faraghi cried out to Great Shepherd of the sheep. "Lord I accept you as my Saviour. I will be your witness." within that day he was baptized. Now he is witnessing for his Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.

One Physician Healed By The Great Physician

4th December 2016. 18:12. From Tunisia: 

Last month in his village, an elderly well known doctor named Chebi developed a cancer. It grew to enormous proportions until it looked from a distance as though he had two heads. The ear on that side of his head moved a considerable distance from its normal position, as fluids congregated and made it balloon out. His appearance was so hideous that people frequently turned away in disgust and horror when he walked down the street. As his condition worsened, Dr. Chebi suffered terrible pain and he was unable to sleep.

Dr. Chebi and his 15-year-old grandson visited a physician and was plainly told there was nothing that could be done for him. Chebi was instructed to go home, set his affairs in order and prepare to die. The physician gave some poison to the grandson, advising him to slip it into his grandfather’s tea so that his life would end mercifully. Later that afternoon, as the boy walked down the street, he wept uncontrollably for his beloved grandfather. The boy knew he couldn't do what the physician had asked him to do. His intense wailing and desperation caught the attention of the people including our MM evangelist who stopped Dr. Chebi's grandson and asked him what was wrong.

The boy told the story of what had happened earlier in the day. The MM evangelist told him, "whatever you do don't put the poison in your grandfather's tea." Khalifa wrote an address on a piece of paper and said, "please bring your grandfather to this address at 2 pm." In intense distress Dr. Chebi and his grandson made their way to the address the MM evangelist had given them, not knowing what or who they would find there. When they arrived they found a house meeting in progress, with a preacher sharing the word of God.

Despite Dr. Chebi's shocking appearance, Khalifa continued his message. After he had concluded, Khalifa and Yahya laid their hands on each of doctor Chebi's "heads" asking God to heal him. Dr. Chebi returned home that evening with no apparent change in his condition. He fell asleep and woke up eleven hours later, the first time in three weeks he had gained any good rest. The next day, however, he still had two "heads" and did not look any better. Chebi and his grandson rushed back to the evangelist's house. Khalifa told them not to worry, because God had already healed him and it would take a little time for the physical symptoms to reflect the spiritual reality of what had happened.

Dr Chebi's condition gradually improved over the following days. One week later he had been totally healed and his appearance had returned to normal position and even the stretched skin where his face had ballooned out now looked unscarred.

After doctor Chebi and his grandson became a part of the MM group the doctor's conscience was troubled because for years he had deceived people by selling them fake pills which he knew contained no medicinal value. Dr. Chebi repented, and immediately went to his medical clinic and threw the pills away.

He kept the pill bottles, however, and made some new labels which said "Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be healed!" Hundreds of people in his village had seen doctor Chebi's condition before and after his healing, and nobody could dispute that a great miracle had taken place. The doctor has become a bold evangelist, and last month had led more than 40 people to faith in the Great Physician.   God bless you,   Timothy

Comment: The promise of God in Mark 11:20-24 is quite simple. If we trust God to do what we need, such as healing, He will do it if we don't doubt. Many people let doubt undermine simple trust. The promise is in Mark 16:17-18.

4th January 2017. 19:10. From Haroon in Tunisia:

Before learning about Jesus, Lukhi prayed to and worshipped Hindu idols. Now she has put away her idols and prepared to be baptized.

Lukhi was born into a Hindu family. Four years after her marriage at a young age her parents died. She gave birth to two daughters, and soon after the second child was born, her husband died after a prolonged illness. Lukhi raised her children to marriageable age by herself.

After they married, she lived alone as her children moved in with their in-laws. Just as her parents did when they were alive, Lukhi spent her time worshipping idols alone at her home in the primitive village where she lived. Like most of the people in her village, Lukhi did not have much education. The entire village was anti-Christian. If anyone came to witness, the ruffians chased them from the village.

Those who showed interest in Christianity dared not reveal their feelings or they too would be driven from their homes. A Christian pastor came to her village to hold meetings. But since no-one came to hear him, he went away.

The villagers were so uneducated and ignorant that many lived in squalid conditions. They lacked proper drinking water, and sanitation was unknown. Sickness was prevalent. When people became sick, they resorted to the witchdoctor for treatment. No-one ever saw him cure a sick person, and those who became sick usually accepted death as their fate. She said when she was an idol worshipper she had no hope, but when she became a follower of Jesus her life changed, and she now lives a peaceful life.

One time Lukhi became sick and went to the witchdoctor for treatment until she exhausted all her resources. Her illness lasted for three years. She reasoned with herself that if her fate was to die, it would happen in any case. She literally gave up and wished to die very soon.

One day we went to Lukhi’s village to visit relatives. We saw Lukhi sitting on her cot in front of her squalid house and greeted her. We asked about her welfare. Lukhi was pleased that someone she had known in the past showed an interest. She poured out her problems to us. After listening to the tales of woe. Timothy said to Lukhi "you need to change your religion and become a Midnight Ministries worker." Timothy told Lukhi about his own experience. "When I was an idol worshipper I had no hope. But when I became a follower of Jesus Christ through Midnight Ministries my life changed, and I now live a peaceful life."

Timothy asked us to visit Lukhi to pray and study the Bible with her. At first Lukhi was not willing to listen. However, she finally agreed to let us read Bible passages to her. We gave her some Why? booklets which she read. She called us to visit her again and pray for her. We visited her, and she is now looking forward to being baptized. Lukhi has vowed that even if the villagers will not let her stay in their village, she will not give up her faith in God.

She has invited some of her people to come to the Bible studies that we are giving. Her village is quite inaccessible, as there is only a path connecting it to the nearest town. But God has opened the door. Finally the message of hope and God's love is penetrating in this country. Please, their request was for the booklets... God bless you. [There is shortage of funds, and thus lack of lit.]
