“Your old men shall dream dreams, and your young men shall see visions,” asserts the promise of God from the book of Joel.
Yet some of those men reportedly seeing visions and dreams are neither Jews nor Christians … but Muslims.
What’s more, Middle East evangelists report the dreamers are coming to Christianity because of their visions of Jesus.
According to a CBN report, Christian Middle East evangelist Hazem Farraj’s television program “Reflections” is reaching a large Muslim audience. Farraj told CBN that he hears from Muslims who report having dreams or visions of Jesus.
Tom Doyle, an evangelist, pastor and the E3 Partners Ministry director for the Middle East and Central Asia says it’s true: Muslims are coming to Christianity through dreams and visions.
“Great things are happening in the Muslim world,” Doyle said in an email to WND. “It’s all very unexpected.”
Doyle told WND that he is familiar with Farraj’s program and that Jesus is breaking through where missionaries have not succeeded.

“We’ve been seeing this for 15 years now, where Muslims are no longer Muslims but are Jesus followers,” Doyle said. “It’s someone who is a Christian, someone who is willing to die for Jesus.
“It all started with them with a dream,” Doyle said. “They had a Jesus dream, and some of them had many Jesus dreams. They would seek out Christians after a while because the dreams would get so intense that they wanted an answer.”
Doyle explains there is still a difficult process involved for a Muslim to convert to Christianity, even for those who.....

you're amazing....there have probably been more than a hundred apparitions, visions etc. over the years, many quite thoroughly studied and investigated.....and you just pooh-pooh them all as "nothing"...????????
We Christians had better not be so arrogant as to think that God only addresses Himself to us.
His Son died for ALL men.
I have a hard time believing that God has super glued, per se, our Savior to the throne. Yes I truly believe He resides at the right side of God. However, did He not appear to Saul on the road to Damascus?
Here is the main thing. When we get to Heaven, will it matter?
Gotta watch chewing too much Kat, Achmed.
‘Sides, as a Muslim you should be dreamin’ about boys and goats, shouldn’t you?
God’s time is not our time. We cannot fathom his movements — virtually everywhere at once or his timing.
Why doubt God?
Back in 1994, I traveled to Israel to teach a programming class at an Intel facility in Haifa. The day before the class, I was hosted by a Christian Arab leader (not a Muslim convert) by arrangement with a University in the US. Prior to this, I had received a number of fascinating letters from the Jesus Film Project about this very phenomenon of Muslims becoming Christians due to a vision of Jesus.
After driving me all over Galilee, up into the Golan Heights and beyond that into a Druze village overlooking Mt. Hermon in Syria, he took me back to my hotel. A few nights later I visited his home to help him set up email. On the way back to Haifa that night, he told me a story about a newspaper account in the Haifa (Jewish) paper of a Muslim woman who had been admitted to a Jewish hospital in Haifa with cancer. According to the paper she reported having a vision of Jesus, was healed by Him and became a Christian. Note: I was blown away by this because I had not previously told him about the Jesus Film Project letters I had received.
My problem was that no Christian had been involved and I thought that God always uses believers to spread the Gospel.
When I got back to the states, my pastor (at that time) had me recount this story in all of the services one Sunday. Between two of the services, a person who was a missionary to the Philippines told me that there was a group of Christians there who were specifically praying that God would reveal Himself to Muslims in dreams because Muslims consider dreams to be authoritative. They also believe that demons cannot masquerade as prophets (e.g. Jesus) in dreams.
This appears to have been going on now for decades. Yes, many of these people are connecting up with Christian ministries (e.g. the Jesus Film Project, radio stations, etc.)
Have you ever had a dream where you “knew” you could fly?
Have you ever had a dream where you “knew” the person you were talking to was your deceased mother, but the figure in your dream looked nothing like her? But, your heart leapt at being able to talk with her and you woke up feeling wonderful?
God works in mysterious ways. Don’t try to anchor Him to our pedestrian intellect.
there was a group of Christians there who were specifically praying that God would reveal Himself to Muslims in dreams because Muslims consider dreams to be authoritative.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
I will start doing this.
“I met a man yesterday who said he saw a Jesus dream and he didn’t know what to do with it, so he got deeper into his Muslim faith,” Doyle said. “Then he went to Mecca on the hajj, and on the first time around the Kabah, he saw a vision of Jesus standing in front of him.”
Doyle said the man told him Jesus had a message: “You’re on the wrong path; you’re on the wrong road. Leave this place and come follow me.”
“This man is getting baptized in the next few weeks,” Doyle said.”
Amazing!

Remember when the Virgin Mary appeared at a Coptic Church in Egypt—she always appears in places that will soon be enmeshed in bloodshed and violence. Many Muslims cast away their prayer rugs and were baptized as Christians. Jesus hears our cries and our prayers are answered. Look to see his divine hand working in our land soon!
Another consideration is the comment you made that the Muslims believe that demons cannot masquerade as prophets in dreams is that most consider that Satan does not see out thoughts as God does. Only God is omniscient.
>> I would simply ask, “and they know it is Jesus, HOW?<<
Are we sure it matters? Once again I would say if it leads to a true conversion with acceptance of Jesus as Lord and Savior alone with veneration of Him alone we shouldn’t dismiss it out of hand without knowing the result in that persons life.
>> Just like the Mary “apparitions”.<<
I would say there is a huge difference there. Veneration of Mary or someone other than Jesus is not of God.
When it leads to veneration of someone other than Jesus it’s not of God. Also God condemned the use of statues in worship of Him so we can dismiss out of hand any involvement of “apparitions” that involve statures or images.
yes. Good point.
Well God does in the Bible speak via dreams also. Remember both Josephs, in the OT/NT?
Not this garbage again ... pitiful.
Fine, fine ... what "Catholic news organization" is it? Give the attribution and date, so we can read it in context.
On October 23, 1995, Iranian television began running stories that the apparitions in Fatima, Portugal in 1917 were religious phenomena of Muslim origin.”
They also "run stories" about how the Holocaust didn't happen. Everything for them is "a religious phenomenon of Muslim origin". Do you really think Iranian TV is a credible source?
Islam teaches that men can achieve favor with God by what a person does.
And Catholicism taught infallibly at Trent that no one can be saved by obedience to law apart from grace through Jesus Christ. Thanks for playing.
Yep, nothing...Not nothing really, deception...
I have heard the same from other sources.
It’s especially true during Ramadan.
There have to be some misguided souls in that death cult who really don’t get it and are sincerely seeking God, the Creator.
He will draw them.
THAT is why we’re to pray for our enemies, because they’re not really our enemies as much as God’s enemies. And He would rather have us hot or cold. He can do something with that. Nobody can do something with someone who doesn’t care (lukewarm).
