To be exact, ex-Muslims will bring their fervor and fearlessness when they convert to Christianity and save it from its indolent degeneration of luxury, indifference and compromise with sin.
So says, Hedieh Mirahmadi Falco, 25-year devout Muslim activist who worked with then-Prince Charles, with then-President George W. Bush and with President Trump to counter terrorism by promoting moderate Islam through networks.
“The Lord is calling us for such a time as this because there’s a certain amount of courage and discipline that comes from a former Muslim believer that I think the church needs right now. I think the western church has gotten very lazy and has fallen away from what the true gospel,” says Hedieh. “We (Muslims) come basically on fire to help equip and encourage the rest of the body of believers.”
When her contract ended with the FBI, she returned home burned out and had an encounter with Jesus.
“I just wanted to go back to Southern California and lick my wounds and re reidentify myself because I was lost,” she says. “I had left Islam and was just disheartened. I reached a point where I was completely broken.”
By clicking on a tweet from a random girl, she heard a pastor preach the “simple gospel: “Jesus loves you. Turn and repent of your sins and he will save you. You will spend an eternity in paradise.”
Because Islam NEVER gives its adherents any confidence that they are saved and will make it into Paradise, the message resonated. “Why didn’t anybody tell me about this Jesus?” she wondered.
In Islam, Jesus is a prophet, not God incarnate. He will return to judge the earth, but he never died on the cross. As revered as he is, he’s inferior to Mohammed.
“Why didn’t anybody ever tell me that Jesus saves?” Hedieh wondered. “I didn’t know Jesus of the Bible, and I was hooked. I had strived for for 25 years. The Jesus of the Bible would actually promise me that I would spend an eternity in Heaven and that it was a free gift, I didn’t have to do anything. I didn’t have to run.”
As she researched, it wasn’t just a slam dunk that she would come out of years of indoctrination. One day, Jesus helped her ease out. She was prayed for God to reveal himself. She heard an audible reply.
“Hedieh, it’s me,” Jesus told her.
The Damascus experience braced for the rejection and ostracism that Muslims families almost always impose upon apostate members.
Today, she and her husband, former cop Andy Falco, lead Resurrect Ministry to counsel Muslims who want to leave Islam but are unsure how. Andy wrote Walking with God and a Dog about his police work with a K-9. Hedieh has written Living Fearless in Christ: Why I Left Islam to Win Battles for the Kingdom.
Dr. Jay Smith, who reaches out to Muslims, agrees that they make the best Christians. They already believe in monotheism, Heaven and living by a moral code. When they find out that Jesus is actually the savior, they transform into the best Christians.
Currently, the onslaught of Muslim conversions to Christianity is overwhelming. They will bring an injection of new life and vigor into the church.
