Richard & Sabrina Wurmbrand's resilience reminds us of James 1:12, 'Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love Him.'
Jehovah's witnesses are right now under ban in Russia, many are in jail right now for preaching God's word!
@@nigelmcculloch3746
Jehovah's Witnesses are heretics
JESUS DID NOT COME TO SAVE ANYONE ,THAT IS GODS JOB. ACCORDING TO YOUR BOOK ,YOUR JESUS CAME TO SHOW THE WAY TO SALVATION TO THE LOST SHEEP OF YISRAEL,AND THAT WAS TO REPENT AND COME BACK TO GOD. JESUS WAS THE GOLDEN CALF FOR CHRISTIANS TO FOLLOW, I FOLLOW ONLY ONE GOD "YHVH". TELL ME HUNTLEY WHAT IS GODS HOLY HEBREW NAME AND WHAT DOES HIS NAME MEAN? IF YOU DONT KNOW , THAT MEANS YOU DONT KNOW GOD , SO ADMIT IT BE HONEST AND TRUTHFUL,BECAUSE YOU ARE WORHIPPING THE WRONG GOD.
@@johnnypierce3933 what is your point? Are you Jewish?
That's true, never saw such a warm and friendly expression of smiling in someone who was in hell. In fact, i was watching him and hearing the story and I was all the time.... Omg, this is the same man? He looks like a very happy farmer who has had a great journey trough his life. I think, most of us watching felt something like this. ❤😢😊
This man is truly a saint. He puts me to shame.
All Believers/Followers of Jesus Christ are saints of God. Just look to Our Lord Jesus and He will give you the strength to do what He wants from you when it’s time.
really he is🙏🏻
He really is
Many of us are put to shame
True😢
Without words this man's face preaches the love of Christ
He was truly a courageous faithful man. But do not feel condemned if perhaps that's what you are experiencing. God calls each of us uniquely to a task He has assigned.
Wurmbrandt preached at a chapel service at Christ For The Nations - Dallas. Afterwards, he prayed for the student body. We stood, and he lifted his hands and prayed. I saw and felt like water breaking over my head as the blessing moved beyond me. I have never experienced that since. Amazing impartation. To this day, I am blessed in all my tribulations and distresses: I am able to seek and bless God in all my struggles as though they were brought to me on angels' wings. And the Presence! Wonderful Comforter! Glorious Savior!
this beautiful couple give us a message which is very much needed right now
Focus on Jesus Christ not problems
I came across Pastor Wurmbrand not long after my conversion. I have never heard anyone like him. Now 50 years a Christian, I still reach for his books which remain eternal in content. I dedicated my second book to this Godly man who has helped shape my life. Words are truly inadequate.
What this man endured was unreal. It would have broken me. He had such a strong connection with the Lord. He sits there with great smiles and no bitterness! Jesus is Lord!!❤
I was going to say wow! Not even a trace of bitterness!
Its called faith in God 😊
The Lord said he will never put on us more than we can handle.
That's a lie and not biblical@@Tmiller77
🙏🙌🕊help me precious lord to be more like this beautiful christian couple. god bless them both and their ministry.🙏🙏🙏🙌💐🙏🙏🙏
Met him and his wife in the ‘90s at a Romanian church in Michigan. Wonderful people of God!
wow!! what an amazing testimony 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hallelujah 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
The light of the Lord shines through them!
I have the movie "Tortured for Christ" about this amazing man's experience. God is good ✝️✝️✝️
As young chtistian...15 years...thec prayer room of the church prayed for him as future Open Door..
I prayed for him more than daily as all chtistians in jail in East Germany.
The Lord exuced all the prayers .Amen .
I am 65 ...i had a bone cancer ...and the Lord Healed me with the therapy 😊
Praise the Lord for all His Graces ...during this year of treatment i have never been so close to Him .Thank you Lord for all your miracles .AlléliYah .
Now i pray for Israël where my son ' s family live.
Amen .A.Rabineau .M.D
Child of Jesus
PRAISE THE LORD GOD JESUS CHRIST FOR HIS PROMISE AND FOR THESE FOLKS FAITH IN LORD JESUS NEVER BREAKING...
Thank you for this posting! This family is such a model if hiw a Christian family should be. They remained in our memory, God bless their legacy. ❤
I had brain damage for over 17 years from child abuse. I lost my 20s, 30s and 40s to healing. I can say like Corrie ten Boom, I've never felt God's presence so strongly and seen His miracles so near as when I was in horrid suffering. I was all alone. I miss that deep communion with my Savior. I know He is with me now, but my desperation was a gift I won't give back.
I am speechless,…my deepest respect!
Our Saviour so wonderful!
An important video and lesson since I fear that Western society's increasing atheism is trending towards Communist government 🚫
God bless Canada and America and the whole world ✝️🇨🇦🇺🇸🌐
God doesn't bless evil, which is what Canada is, the US , and the rest of the world. Satan is the ruler of this world, and the majority are following him .
Our sentiments exactly. Praying along with you 🙏🏼🔥
Those stuff is fake light that trying to englighten, but they will fade as the person grow old, they become weak as times goes
From this story i learn more about the story of be lampstand in dark room
How people either lose their fire and become part of darkness, or they will shine God truth when other light fades away
This couple are near the top of my list of people I want to meet in heaven.
I was thrilled to come across this video this afternoon. Richard Wurmbrand's book was a treasure to me throughout my early Christian life. The commitment he made while being tortured daily and harassed by satan, to follow Christ no matter what happened to him, I claimed for myself, and it has gotten me through some times that, while nothing (so far) compared to actual torture, seemed torturous to me.
I personally met dearest Pastor Richard Wurmbrand while he was preaching many years ago in Glasgow Scotland UK. He was the most gracious and courageous Pastor that I have ever known. He had to preach while barefoot because he had been Tortured so badly for Christ. He is a true saint of God ❤. GLORY ❤HALLELUJAH ❤
😶 No words for this. So he couldn't wearing shoes because of the damage and pain on his foot that he needed to do barefoot??? 😢
@GustavoDB Yes Exactly! He was So very humble that he was apologising to the congregation for having to sit down and preach while barefoot. He understandably wrote Tortured For Christ♥️
@@Anne-MarieLaughlin-fo3vl wow, he is truly a saint, he is beyond I thought reading this, you were very lucky to meet him. 🙏 Thanks for answer. He is like a stone.
I read his book "Tortured for Christ" when I was a young believer in my teens. So blessed to hear him speaking with so much passion and love.
Wow LORD forgive me of my pride! May I be as humble as these 2!!!!
Amazing Grace How Sweet The Sound.
What a wonderful God we have. How Blessed are we Brothers and Sisters to be loved and cared for by the same One True God, and to know that we needn't fear either. Amen 🙏
I’m a full time missionary in Haiti. This man and his books had such a profound impact on my heart as I was in my late teens and early 20’s preparing to do missions full time. This is the first time I ever heard or saw him speak. Thank you for this video.
When I read his love for Jesus and his torturers it absolutely wrecked me. Christ’s love is absolutely real! It is beyond understanding.
The most influential man I had as a teenager whom I will never forget , impacted my life for his love to the Lord
I have to compliment the host. Allowing the testimonies to flow. I appreciate. Thank You Jesus!
oh God im so ashamed 15 yes imprisoned in my own marriage undera narcisist and trying to serve in the ministry was so dificult like torture doing this task to work full time job as a wife bearing the bread winner in my family as my father is old and no means then my mom was sick died having all the torments and turmoils of having to go theu fertility treatments the pain and shame and horrible words thrown into you as a woman and loving Jesus theres seems to be endless i hope i die just so this things finish hut God continue to keep me going its bee so difficult but wathing this video makes me realize there nothing more important than Gods purpose wherever you are 😢❤
It is the bitterness towards ones persecutors and also bitterness towards God, that's actually worse than the suffering. God help me.
Prayin' for you 😊❤🎉
Wonderful heartfelt interview! Thank you!🙏❤🙏
Lord, what a testimony. I cringe and become defeated, when simple things and people with rough and tumble personalities, do and say things, which depress me . I want to become strong and steadfast, no wavering.
Don't worry, just ask God to accompany you on the path that is to follow Jesus Christ. I can relate too, but I followed God and he took me to higher places!
God has a plan for you and will show you how much you are worth to him without needing your experience to be exactly the same as that of other Christians. You are also valuable and invaluable in the eyes of God! An incredible plan awaits you. Just follow God step by step.
May God Bless You. Prayin' for ya!
What a true man of God ❤
singing is so powerful i got ten days of persecution a few years ago and Jesus showed up turned the whole place into a church meeting. we sang, shared bibles, food, clothes, Jesus was casting out demons from my mouth. it was really painful i thought i would die there but i passed some kind of huge test and got a golden ticket. i lost all fear then. so much amazing happened since then like last week i got the eternal gospel song! wow its so powerful
God, that is beautiful! Thank you dear pastor Wurmbrand, I listened with my heart. I truly love you. Thank you for telling me to bring the smile of Heaven; you did it in a horrible communist prison, I will, with the Lord's help, do it where I live.
Richard & Sabina, loved by many the world over. Thank you Lord for their example of faith to us, and for Richards many books, especially Tortured for Christ. All pearls.
I am 73 old. When I was young I read every book I could get my hands on about the suffering of Richard Wurmbrand and his wife. I did not know they are still alive !😊❤❤ 😊❤😊
Thanks for watching and for the comment. Richard died in February of 2001 at age 91. Sabrina died in 2000. This interview was recorded back in 1989.
@@100huntley Yes, he is still alive !
Jesus is LORD 🙏🏻Thank You Lord for sustaining these Your children 🛐
I wanna serve my Lord again,it would be an honor to die for my Lord and saviour
Wow! Just Wow! I needed to see this today. Thank you Lord.
I am a believer in Christ Jesus. About a month ago I was able to spend a week in Western Romania. Here are some notes: Traveling through the various villages, the street signs read like this…upon entering: “Welcome to [name of town] May God bless you.” Exiting they read: “Have a good trip and may God be with you.” Mind you, these are official signs posted by the governing body of each village. Who would have expected that in a former Communist state? The village I stayed in has 80-90 houses and one Evangelical church. About 60 attend that church. In the city of Arad, you will find private Christian primary and secondary schools. In Oradea (population 200,000) there is also a private Christian university. At some point in the 1980’s, Oradea, had a revival. They were baptizing 200 a week or 200 a month. I forget the numbers. Whatever it was, that was a lot of people, and, they were still under Communism.
Yes, God restored what we lost
I am from Oradea :) and my father was also persecuted and beaten and imprisoned for the faith. I knew pastor Wurmbrand, he was an amazing brother in Christ! After my years of atheism, remembering miracles that I witnessed in my family, remembering brothers like Wurmbrand, reading his books helped me a lot to recover from the darkness of atheism.
God bless you! He is faithfull never leaves His children👏🌹
During the Cold War, I would contribute to Brother Andrew ministries and would regularly pray for those imprisoned in Communist countries.
Last year they had a re-enactment movie on Daystar TV about the Wurmbrands and I've also read a book he had written many years ago. Truly a remarkable man he was.
i've heard Richard Wurbrand's testimony at a meeting at New Covonat Tabernacle in San Diego, with the mafioso pastor Sorentino back in the early 80's precious precious precious man of God
Beautiful testimony. All for the Glory to God. ❤
This testimony should be broadcasted night and day on every tv, social media, newspapers etc..since this man was.truly a real saint of our time
Wow. Amazing!
Million thanks for ur lovely testimony✝️♥️🙏
Romanian Jewish Lutheran pastor, tortured by communism.
I saw him in church too when I was a child. He wrote a few books. Together with his wife, two saints. Now in heaven. Communism was horrible for those in prison. Those others survived it easier. God help us to carry through in the times that come 🙏😭
I read his book, “Tortured for his faith” decades ago. It opened my eyes for sure. This man and his wife are a real credit to the kingdom of god.
The couple should write a book for younger generation!
He wrote more than 18 books, the most widely known being Tortured for Christ and Answer to Moscow's (Atheist) Bible.
Richard and Sabina: A Biography Of The Rev. Richard Wurmbrand And His Wife Sabina Paperback - Nov. 4 2002
by Jack Cole (Author)
@@Ela-cw7fi thanks, I'll read his book. This is the first time I heard his name and story.
Die sind beide, schon lange beim HERRN!!!
I'm proud to call you brother.
Very edifying.
God is amazing worship him in hard times he will always be there for us Amen 🙏
There is power in this testimony
Lord Jesus Christ son of the living God have mercy on us weak and feeble of Faith and Heart, Grace and Mercy.
What joy this brought to Jesus and worship to the Father. Beautiful! Help us to cherish these examples💖👑🙏
I knew them both. They had always been probably the biggest influence on my life.
Ok I feel better
My problems are not so bad now
May God use this testimony... his experience might be ours or the next generation one day.
My grandpa was also in a russian communist labor camp for 15 or 14 years in Siberia. He was imprisoned for being a pacifist and refusing to join the army. The pnly story i have from gis tome there was that he once prayed for food in desperation and he found bread under a rock. He passed his faith to my Dad who passed it to me. I loved to hear them both talk about what they thought heaven would be like.
Amen! This is so touching
Gd bless him!
I read his book ‘tortured for Christ’, and oh man the things he described in that book and to see him and his wife sitting here smiling is such a powerful testimony.
Truly we praise and thank God for all His many blessings on us through His beloved Son Jesus Christ our Savior !
❤❤❤ HEARTFELT PRAYERS DEAR SIR, YOU ARE STRONGER BY YOUR EXPERIENCE, GLORY ALELUAH INDEED.
Thank you for posting this video. We must be ready to suffer for Jesus ! ❤
Amen!
Ai vu Mr Wurmbrand début des années 80 dans 1 petite église du Locle en Suisse.... il y avait foule, j'ai entendu qu'il s'excusait de ne pouvoir rester debout - 1 des tortures qu'il avait endurée! - puis ai pu le voir de loin.. j'ai vu un Saint nimbé de lumière assis... j'avais lu son livre, je connaissais et suivais Portes Ouvertes de Frère André, mais ce que j'ai ressenti était bouleversant et merveilleux, j'ai revu et ressenti cette onction extraordinaire à quelques reprises, en présence de ces personnes consacrées corps et âme... faites d'or ! Le livre de sa femme est aussi un magnifique témoignage! Ça booste pour la vie! ❤
Supernatural power of my Living Jesus
I met them personally. Sabina was so warm and inviting
All glory to God! Fear not those who can harm the body but cannot harm the soul.
God bless everyone on here❤
You always had the Protection and Unconditional Love of Elohim that knows Everything the Reward and Eternal Happiness in Heaven is reserved for Special Angels 😇 like this Beautiful, Loving couple.
Amazing.
Awesome testimony!🇺🇸
This man and his wife lived in my country, Romania. Blessed is the herritage they left us.
I will never leave, nor forsake you, were Christ's words... He is faithful! He was there with these precious couple and by His Spirit empowered them to remain steadfast as they trusted our SAVIOUR! Glory! His MERCIES ARE NEW EVERY MORNING,! The JOY OF THE LORD IS OUR STRENGHT!!❤❤❤ GREAT IS THY FAITHFULNESS! THANK YOU JESUS!!❤
Wow...Jesus IS Lord to the Glory of God the Father!!! Hallelujah!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I read his book a long time ago. It was so moving and what he faced was horrible
He knows God, understands the Word of God. Amen Amen starting to break though the religious barriers. Great Witness. Amen Amen
The power of the one truth and true god 🙏
Please, if you have more videos with Richard and Sabina, post them please, or other similar videos of prosecuted brothers and sisters in Christ. Foxe's Book of Martyrs is a must read for every true Christian. Richard has a book called Tortured for Christ
every Christian should read it.
What a beautiful and peaceful smile he has
Read Wurmbrand’s books! So amazing!!!!
❤ With brotherly love from Romania
Saint Richard Wurmbrand, pray for us!
Thank you for this video 🙏💖👍

What was said from @10:20 - 11:15 is so true!! Absolutely beautiful.
There's so much evil in this world and it takes so much love to defeat it, so please, love more. Make it your mission in life, to love more, as Jesus taught and asked of us. I'm humbled by these people's experiences. LORD thank You for life and love and salvation ❤🙏🏻
This darling couple are truly part of God's Elect.
I see Jesus in them ❤
Hope Christian can get people onboard in a positive way that they are proud to tell Jesus of.
