When Senet* was arrested for refusing to put the State before her faith in Jesus, she was put in a small cell with 55 other women.“We were so tightly crammed in that we could not sit properly, let alone lie down to sleep. We were forced to work long hours without rest. My immediate commander was especially cruel.”“But in a dream one night I saw myself fighting with and defeating a very strong man. In the dream, I was surprised by my strength and wondered how I had managed to defeat him.”The strong man of persecution in Eritrea can seem impossible to defeat. And yet many faithful believers have been surprised by the strength God has given them. Senet was asked to recant her faith several times, but refused; as a result, she spent over six years in prison. But she says it was an honor to suffer for the Name of Jesus: “May the Name of the Lord be glorified!”* name changed and representative photo used for security reasons -- source link
