Nasser, who was born and raised on the eastern coast of Saudi Arabia, longed to die for Allah by waging jihad, and thus improving his chances of making it into Paradise. But along the way he converted to Christ, website Godreports has revealed.
At the outbreak of the war in Kuwait in 1990, Nasser was in the USA. ‘I was surrounded by infidels. You either make a war against them or you try to bring them into Islam another way. I thought Allah brought me here to evangelise them.’ He saw some people converted to Islam and renounce Jesus.
He married a girl called Daisy, who eventually returned to her faith in Jesus. She then mobilised thousands of Christians in mega churches to pray.
Outwardly, her husband appeared secure in his beliefs, but inwardly he was struggling. He knew his sins were too great and the mountain of good works and prayers needed to offset them too much. He began to ponder again the easiest and most and most assured path to Paradise – jihad.
Finally, his wife ventured to invite him to church, which, out of curiosity, he accepted. His consciousness of his sin was so great that he concluded: ‘If I’m going to go to Hell, I might as well find out what they do in church. I thought it was the most Satanic thing I had ever seen,’ he said. ‘But I was so drawn to keep coming back by the love I felt there.’ Eventually he broke down and asked God for the truth.
‘Immediately I had a vision. Everything before me was wiped away and I was transported to this rocky hill, looking down at this man who was so brutally beaten to the point of being unrecognisable,’ he said. ‘He was being nailed to a cross. I knew this was Jesus.
‘I watched as the cross was lifted up and He’s hanging there bleeding and struggling for breath. I’m looking Him in the eyes. He’s looking at me and through me. He sees all of my junk, the hidden things in my life. I feel this wave of shame.
‘But he’s not looking at me with disgust, which is what I expected. He’s looking at me with this fierce love. As He’s fighting for every breath on the cross, He’s fighting with every breath for me.’
‘I found myself confessing Jesus Christ as my Lord, as my God, as my Saviour. As soon as I said that prayer, I immediately felt a fire fall upon me. I felt wrapped up in this amazing presence that was pure peace and love and belonging. It was the most amazing thing that I had ever felt.’
