Pastor Wurmbrand is the founder of “Voice of the Martyrs.” He wrote the timeless classic “Tortured for Christ“. He visited Peoples Church in Toronto Canada in the early 1980’s. Pastor Wurmbrand had 18 pieces of flesh cut out of him in torture. His feet were broken many times during terrible beatings. When he walked slowly into the Peoples Church in Toronto, Canada, he wore no shoes because he could not tolerate the pain from shoes. Ushers rushed to put a chair for him in front of the pulpit. He sat down. As he opened his mouth the Holy Spirit came in a 2000 seat auditorium filled with people. One could hear a pin drop. He said: Dear Sisters and Brothers, many of you ask me to speak evil about what was done to me by communists during my jail time in Romania. I can say nothing about this. I cannot blame the communists because you see, I am at fault. The auditorium gasped. How could he possibly be at fault? Then Pastor Wurmbrand continued and said: You see, I am at fault, I did not love enough. Reported by Brother Edgar who was present at the time. “We are weak little Davids, But we are stronger than the Goliath of atheism, because God is on our side. The truth belongs to us.” – Richard Wurmbrand Matthew 5:44 – “But I say to you, Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you.” Luke 6:27 – “But I say to you who hear, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you.” Romans 12:14 – “Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them.”
