Mehdi Dibaj shared these thoughts of his time in
prison --
"The love of Jesus has filled all my being and I feel the warmth of His love in every part of my body. God, who is my glory and honor and protector, has put his seal of approval upon me through His unsparing blessings and miracles.
This test of faith is a clear example. The good and kind God reproves and punishes all those whom He loves. He tests them in preparation for heaven. The God of Daniel, who protected his friends in the fiery furnace, has protected me for nine years in prison. And all the bad happenings have turned out for our good and gain, so much so that I am filled to overflowing with joy and thankfulness.
The God of Job has tested my faith and commitment in order to increase my patience and faithfulness. During these nine years he has freed me from all my responsibilities so that under the protection of His blessed Name, I would spend my time in prayer and study of His Word, with a searching heart and with brokenness, and grow in the knowledge of my Lord. I praise the lord for this unique opportunity. God gave me space in my confinement, brought healing in my difficult hardships and His kindness revived me. Oh what great blessings God has in store for those who fear Him!"
Mehdi Dibaj imprisoned for preaching the gospel wrote to his son on his 17th birthday –
“The plan that God implemented for Daniel’s friends (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) teaches us this great lesson…that if we want to walk close to Jesus the Son of God, we must go into the fire because it is the safest place for us! Not only will our sacks not burn, our clothes will not smell of fine! I praise God that during these seven years, the Lord Jesus Christ has been my strength in such a way that not only do I walk close to him in the midst of fire, but I go forward as well!”
