Have you been finding some of your Christian friends who insist that Muslims worship the same God of the Bible as they do?
Yep, so have I. The stories are all around of the Lutheran/Methodist/Catholic church who brought in a "wonderful imam" to speak at their adult education.
I have asked some of those Christian friends whether or not they need to evangelize their Muslim neighbors and they look at me cross-eyed. Why would they need to do that when all these different paths lead to heaven, they ask?
It would seem that Jesus would disagree. He has been calling millions of Muslims to COME OUT of their false religion and come follow Him. And in many cases these Muslims have never held a Bible or been given the Gospel message, but Jesus is appearing to them in their dreams.
As hundreds of millions of Muslims fast and pray during Ramadan this month, with many seeking to grow closer to Allah, others are finding Jesus.
“God is moving very powerfully using dreams and visions Muslims are having of the Man in white, of Jesus Himself,” author Joel Rosenberg told CBN recently.
He quoted a 19-page study describing an extraordinary move of God among Muslims.
“From 1960 to 2010, the number of Muslims that have converted to faith in Jesus Christ has grown from fewer than 200,000 to some 10 million people” Rosenberg told CBN.
Rosenberg said many Muslims have become disillusioned by turmoil in the Middle East.
“In the last 10-15 years, many Muslims are deeply uncomfortable with the idea that ISIS, or Iran’s leadership, or Assad are the type of people that represent Islam.”
While Christian outreach is difficult and dangerous in many restricted countries in the Middle East, some Muslims have powerful encounters with Jesus through dreams, visions, and even personal visitations.
The God Reports website has featured numerous accounts of Jesus making such appearances:
— Jesus appearing to a Muslim family in the refugee camps
— Jesus appearing to a boat of Muslim refugees crossing a stormy Aegean Sea
— A vision of Jesus that stopped an Islamic fighter attempting to kill a Christian pastor
— Jesus appearing to a bedridden Muslim mom
— A descendant of Muhammad finding Jesus through a dream
— An imam who hated Christians until Jesus appeared in his dreams
These are just a few examples, but even if God is revealing Himself to Muslims in these miraculous ways, Christians must still be involved in completing the Great Commission.
