I confess I am, perhaps one of several Christians, who prayed for Ayan. Several years ago when listening to her I sensed a profound sadness in her. I prayed for her salvation and, she would experience the joy of Jesus. I have been urged to pray for her a couple of times since then. I am jubilant at hearing and seeing the change in her. Thank you Glen, please continue to Speak Life!
Me too hehe🥰🙏✝️ she said in one of her interviews (maybe with Dawkins) that back in the days she was atheist criticizing christianity and islam, she had to have bodyguards because of death threats from muslims😅 but christians were sending her letters saying that she is misguided and they are praying for her☺️ obviously MANY enough of us prayed for her🙏✝️ PRAISE YOU FATHER GOD for opening her eyes to the truth and bringing her out of darkness into Your love and light🙏✝️❤️🔥🥰 I also pray for Mosab Hassan Yousef’s life and heart🙏✝️
Praying for you and in Jesus name I declare you WILL come to faith in Jesus and recieve salvation and eternal life!🙏✝️❤️🔥☦️ because Jesus promised us in the Bible that ALL who come to him and ask of Him, He will answer and NEVER reject them and never abandon them!❤️🔥 so if you have asked, the answer is on the way!🙂 I was like you and Jesus Christ revealed Himself to me☺️ I had gone faaaar from God, but I heard some Christian testimonies and decided to try, maybe God will answer me too. So I prayed ‘at Jesus’ feet’ for probably 3 months every evening for God to heal me from depression and to reveal Himself to me, and ONE DAY suddenly He did answer fully, 100%. Not only was I fully healed, but completely transformed as a person, I becamed RENEWED like a little girl, I have never looked back since🙏✝️🥰 it’s been over 16 years since then.
1 Jn. 1:9, "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Rev. 3:20 "Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me." Jn. 3:16, "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life." The Lord Jesus bless you Rosemary, & lead you to life everlasting.🌹
Ayaan says "simple basic prayer, and surrender, worked... and I am at peace, those awful thoughts have gone, my head is clear. I'm more productive, I'm a better person. That for me is all the evidence I need" "the surrender is help me God, please get rid of them (awful thoughts)". Hallelujah, how beautiful.
BIBLE = BeLIEve In Big LIE Eternally. The God in the bible with the Capital G is almost similar in practice with the great Roman Empire, British Colonalists, American and Western Imperialists. Every book is written by man however inspired and visionary it may be. As far as I am concerned God is natural like every organic living being, however the practices of God in the bible is totally psychopathic, genocidical, barbaric, bloody in practising removal of foreskins of a eight day old baby, killing of women, children and babies and yet keeping the virgins for themselves, hypocritical, prejudice, killing masses of people depending on his whim and fancy. This God is just a bogey man created by very evil and clever people to justify the evilness that they are doing. God is created by man in his own image. BIBLE = Bible Intervention By the LORDS of England. Otherwise why do you think they keep spreading the gospel. Jesus had no geneanology he did not even have a rightful father. He was away from the age of 12 to 30 spending much of his time looking for his father. He was in India learning under the Brahma but he went against their teaching on the caste system, and the untouchables. Jesus taught that all men are equal. The Brahmins wanted to kill him him and Jesus escaped to the Buddhist Ashram to learn from Buddha disciples. Jesus practised samadhi to fake death on the crosd and eventually went to India again and lived to a ripeful age of 120 years old. There was a tomb in India in his name.(ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-8cy8M4VzU-Y.html) There was also a scroll of Jesus written in the extinct Pali language. The scroll was translated to the Tibetan language and remain hidden in one of the Tibetan temple in Lhasa. Should you believe in the God in the bible and worship the mass murderer or believe in Satan whom killed only 10 people and with the permission from God. The bible was the political and marketing handbook for the Roman Empire. The gospel means good news of another military victory. Could you imagine these culturally, "civilised" and technologically advanced civilizations went round the world enslaving and colonising numerous nations and ignoring their pride, pain, suffering b and poverty clearly point to a God that is beyond belief. I believe China in the last 50 years had done more for African countries than what the Western Colonisers did in the last 500 years. Many people called China an evil and dictatorial empire but they failed to mention their GOD is monotheistic so who is more dictator. China or their GOD. US Dollars is the world reserved currency, hence USA can literally print as much US Dollars as they want. But the Chinese and other nations had to toil and sacrifice blood, sweats, and tears to earn the US Dollars in order to buy USA goods. How America did not collapse even as at today is because of her military might. At the end of the days all these Americans and Western powers, except Austria and Hungary, are just a bunch of looters, pirates, bullies, hypocrites and legalised liars just like the God in the bible. Their god is; Gold/money, Oil/resources/minerals, Drugs/diseases. Sorry I digressed. God is a major part of the problem.
@@demogorgon4244Any such thing as we could know of as being 'god', seeks to serve you. I would say, so personally, so long as you wish, seek, the survival and thriving of creation and of human life. Then, God, serves you 'christians' would have you believe, that their prayers are sufficient, every is for God, to do. Of course most don't dare to speak about, let alone to pray for 'deliverance from this evil. They say, one can not serve two masters, eg, 'Give to Caesar what is Caesars', and, 'Why make just the outside clean?', 'If one serves two masters, one will love one and hate the other'. So quite how they think their lives, devoid of any action, word, or thought even, to be delivered,... .., in yet they will when pushed, say, 'Oh that's alright, it's in God's hands, etc ' They may have convinced themselves, each other, but you say, have they convinced you? What chance is there that they have convinced God? Well, that's an interesting question? In short, they are ridiculous. One might add, it's as well God is given to be merciful, but you have to ask to what point,.. ..., towards the, cowardly, self deceivers? There's a test of one's belief if ever there was one! Now for what may we pray for? Buckets of money, as with certain brands of "evangelicals"? That God should do everything for a person, yourself, or your group, so, 'church'? Should do everything for mankind? Notice the inverted commas are there for the reason of saying, so called, christian, so called, church. We may pray for fortitude, patience, understanding, steadfastness, and protection. Only WHEN we have engaged with God, in ALL sincerity. You think perhaps, something other than, will be sufficient? Tell me, tell ALL about that.
Please pray for my son who has turned to atheism, having spending years of his growing in embracing Christianity,which and his mother have lived for. lives for
Amazing discussion. I ask God to continue to guide Ayaan and protect her. She was born for a time like this! Please pray for Ayaan and all who struggle with anxiety. Jesus is the answer! God bless you all. 🙏🙌
We also prayed for her salvation. We followed her from "Infidel". Heard her speak in America later and she seemed close, but not a Christian. Now I'm so very thankful our prayers are answered and she believes in Jesus's great sacrifice to cleanse us from our sins...What Great Love for each of us! We only need to believe. Oh precious Ayaan! I Thank God you are now our Sister in Christ!
You, prayed for her salvation. You who on the whole have been silent about '----' for how long? How strange and completely 'back to front': that you should imagine you could 'pray for her'. I think perhaps you mean you 'pray': for yourselves, absorb Ayaan into some sort of submission to your ways of thinking, to be thus relieved, and never to have to look at yourselves. It is written (this to aggravate -------s, who believe what is written, no matter it contradicts itself at every other page, is the 'truth') that when they were about to stone to death the adulteress, h said, he who is without sin, throw te first stone, faced with one who knows the truth, they scurried off. Then to the lady, you are absolved of your size go and sin no more. What did that mean? Go away, keep your head down, lest these evil hypocrites cause you more trouble. As it was then, STILL the SAME TODAY
Ayaan you’re beautiful, kind, intelligent and i am sure God is going to use you in helping many who are lost to return to Him. I pray for your safety, good health and more lively conversations like this to happen for you. All the best for your work. Love & Blessings from a sister in Christ
God is using Ayaan in the atheist world, and the world at large, may God protect and increase her in the knowledge of Christ, thanks to Glen, great conversation 🙌🏻🙌🏻
She is an outstanding bold and wonderful women with a very self experienced clear view to real life and facts! ❤ All the best wishes and big respect to her! ✨️🍀🌹🍀✨️😊👍 From Germany
I remember reading 10 years ago Infidel by Ayan Hirsi Ali, and ever since I have been amazed at her courage, depth of thought, and the struggles she has endured since leaving Islam. I admired her when she was a New Atheist explaining to us in the West the problems with Islam as one who was formerly a Muslim. She has recently embraced the Way and the Word of God. That too is amazing and a boost of faith to fellow Xns.
@@dejenyalawessonno. But you have to be a Christian (surrender to God) to experience the fullness of His love in Christ, which is what this commenter and Ayaan were referencing. If you reject Christ you reject God’s ultimate love offering, ie you are not surrendered to His love.
@loganwillett2835 you know, you are totally ignoring more than half the world population who are as loving as you are, perhaps more loving but not buying into your faithfully christian ideology. Think about it.
@@dejenyalawesson I never said there weren’t non Christian’s more loving than me. I don’t say this to be rude, but you’re genuinely missing the point. The idea is not about being loving, it’s about surrendering to someone else’s love. There’s a big difference. Although I do think if we surrender to God’s love we become more loving than we used to be
Reading Dominion now. I was a committed atheist but as Ayaan said in something i listened to a while ago. Atheism can be boiled down to " You have no more significance than a worm" This really struck me. Well here i am. Turned into agnostic, now perhaps more a Christian.
The advantage of atheism is that it is just a negative- in a debate it is much easier to attack another position but much harder to defend or offer a better alternative. If you have ever talked to a negative person, nothing you do can make them happy or grateful
The distinguishing factor of atheism is a lack of reason. It takes no reasoning to lack belief. A rock can lack belief and reason. Yet atheists make a conclusion that a god does not exist. There are atheists that have reasons, but the ones that claim they don't need a reason didn't reason themselves into atheism.
Also, the atheist feels they achieve victory by simply declaring there is no evidence. Ignoring the Laws of Nature, DNA, the unfolding intelligible universe and more. All reasonable evidence that many feel points toward an Intelligent Source for our universe.
You should see when people use their own impossible standards of proof against them. A podcaster I followed uses it to argue against them with the whole "the moon landing was faked" narrative and they get their nuts twisted.
All Glory and Honour, Dominion and Power belongs to You. It's so amazing to see how God has touched Ayaan's heart we pray that God will continue His work in you and in All of us🙏
I just love this woman; for her stuggles, intellect, foretitude, and charm. I never doubt she would eventually emerge to do the will of our Father... her journey was well scripted, as it was for Paul: once called Saul. Be blessed beautiful spirit. May God, our Lord continues to shine His Light upon you. Safe journey.
Am from uganda 🇺🇬 east Africa my prayer was always i wishe she can read the bible and find the truth and really God did it. thank you Jesus christ for her salvation and may her grow more stronger in faith spiritually in Jesus's name Amen 🙏
Thank U Lord Jesus for revealing Your salvation to Ayaan!!!! I prayed for u, Ayaan, to come to know Christ after listening to you on Hoover Institution. I too experienced the dark night of the soul before surrendering to Christ after my existential philosophy classes brought me to despair over how to view the world - so I totally agree w/u that your depression came from the lack of spirituality. I ❤️how your brain works in how u explain deep things so simply -sometimes u remind me of CS Lewis- he too thought like u did when he first sat in church as a believer - so look forward to meeting u one day, little sister! ❤
I loved Aayan as a fellow african migrant in Netherlands and now she is my sister in Christ. How cool is that. Loved her intelligence and tenacity and her ability to master the ‘darned’ hard dutch language in record time and even do higher academic pursuit. I barely passed my automobile theory… but now she is running with the bible too’ I too came from a tribal world… born in exile in Uganda as. Tutsi kid only to flee to kenya, tanzania and then UK. I too was blown away by western formula and before that the Tanzanian formula by Nyerere. But the West was flabbergasting as i entered UK in 1985 at the height of ‘free Nelson Mandela’!! I was so impressed these people cared ….. in time i saw all eroding into selfhate where iam a big fan of Pim Fortuin and later Thierry Baudet above our Aayaan… I could go on and on… love you Sis❤
What a wonderful interview - loving Ayaan's story and wisdom. "Even if you rebel against [Christianity] you need to know what you're rebelling against"
Well done, Speak Life team - I think her most significant public outing on her faith to date. She is learning so much and making a kingdom difference at the same time. Never had John 3:16 had more meaning when you consider her narrative.
Recently heard a series about Jesus' 'Sermon on the Mount', so Ayaan's phrase "spiritual bankruptcy" caught my attention. It was Jesus who said, "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs in the kingdom of heaven."
When you have come to the end yourself, and most will, we will call out to a higher unknown... it is human nature. God made us with a need to seek Him, a void of some sort, and we do seek Him. However, plenty gets misdirected by the lures of the world, seeking comfort, its charm, pleasures and money. Only ONE can satisfy the emptiness... call on Him and He will find you... Jesus Christ of Nazareth.
I really appreciate the idea of Jesus rising from the dead and offering us forgiveness after his death. It feels like he’s lifting the weight of accountability off our shoulders and extending a hand of grace to us all. It’s wonderful to see how Jesus truly embodies the teachings he shares!
Some miss the most useful point here, apologia. Before she was able to receive forgiveness and redemption, she had to witness or experience another way and suffer greatly for it. That precipitated a look around for something better (psychology, alcohol, drugs) and so she found Christianity, then found how well Christianity merges with her conscience and with life. Only then could she move from her childhood teaching of SUBMISSION to the Christian SURRENDER that forgives, heals and transforms broken souls into children adopted into God's family by Him thru Jesus' sacrifice on behalf of all currently on planet Earth. Here we are given by her a strong rationale for approaching secular "Christians" with the whole truth of John, "I am the way the truth and the life; no man [or woman] comes to the [heavenly] Father but by me."
What a great interview with so much truth that is desperately needed. A revival in the Christian domain. Thank you Ayaan and your host. We need more of such truth.❤
Hi Glen, having heard the interview through I am so struck by it and see it as a valuable resource in our understanding of where we are as Christians in the west at the moment. The great value of the interview was not only your wonderful questions and the insights that they drew but Ayaan’s powerful testimony which comes from someone who understands atheists and where they are coming from and therefore offers valuable insights about them. I also very much appreciate her eirenic approach to atheism which is built on friendship and the importance of listening to them and trying to understand not just debate with them. It is getting behind their arguments to see the true source. This is a wonderful help for the church and I am so grateful for it. May God bless the work you and others are doing in this. Mark
'Political Islam' required supporters to use violence, 'Radical Islam' request followers adopt terror, while 'Fundamental Islam' demands believers to adopt both means for Dominion
Atheism does lead to intelligent questioning of belief systems. Sadly Abrahamic religions fall apart in questioning. Eastern religions hold the higher aspirations of human- freedom, choice, equality, coexistence, nonviolence, inner knowledge and women's rights as Divine Feminine. As atheist it is wise to seek deep to align our higher Self to the pathway within of joy & Light.
so hinduism does not teach to b*rn women alive after the death of husband ?what about budhha at first refused women as his disciple and later he said a nun should always bow down to a monk even if she is 50 years old and the monk is 20 years old?your scripture does not teach being born as a woman is a bad karma and women can't achieve enlightment until being born as man again?broh plz😂
Ayaan is a hero because she is so exceptionally brave intelligent and wise. Her way of describing the problems that western society is facing .It is truly wonderful thatl she has chosen to follow Yeshua Messiah :the only Way to the Kingdom of Heaven He is the living Word of God the Truth and the Life. May the Eternal One God keep her safe and bless her life abundantly
I tried to be an atheist but I couldn’t stop praying esp when the chips were down. It was hypocrisy. Eventually I repented... I called on the name of the Lord ✝️ .....and then the peace came 🕊
I’m half way through this interview and had no idea who the interviewer was. But he’s speaking on the exact topic of a book I’m currently reading. I read the title and it’s the author of the book I’m reading - the air we breath. Haha.
It’s good to hear Ayaan. God Bless you and keep you safe. I guess Dawkins must be feeling ‘Left Behind’ on his way to ‘Enlightenment’. I do hope he will catch up with you, Ayaan. Just be patient with him as he needs to make up his own mind and use his FreeWill that God has given him.
Ayaan, we are praying for you everyday that you still encounter the greet love of God in the sacrament like the confession and the Eucharist. Your journey has just started. We will pray for you the more
