"I was dead and demons tried to take my soul but Messiah Jesus came and gave my life back…" -Imam

Munaf Ali*, 45, was an influential imam as well as scholar and preacher of Islam in a Middle Eastern country.
One day a team from Bibles4Mideast approached the imam and they entered into a vigorous discussion about the authority of Jesus and the Bible. Munaf denied the divinity of Jesus Christ and the credibility of the Bible.
Pastor Paul offered him a copy of the New Testament but he refused to receive it. Visibly upset, the imam cursed the pastor and his team.
That night the imam incited a mob to attack the place where Pastor Paul and his team had been staying with shouts of "Allahu Akbar."

I was crucified and died as a ransom for all your sins to make you a child of God and citizen of Heaven.
I was raised from the dead and opened the gates of Heaven to bring you back to eternal glory. Have faith in Me and be My witness. I give your life back, for I have the authority of giving life.
When Munaf's soul returned to his body, his sons and other family members were trying to lay his body on a table for washing and preparation for burial. Many other people were also in the room.
His family and friends were astonished and some began to shriek when Munaf opened his eyes and sat up on the washing table. Many were frightened and backed away, as if they saw a ghost.
