Muslims Are Seeing Jesus During Ramadan
Afghanjohn's Weblog ^ | September 22, 2007 | John Marion

For an number of years I've heard many reports about Muslims who have dreams about Jesus during Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting.

According to a September 21 report in Christian World News, Brother Andrew of Open Doors International said, "Jesus often appears in a vision or in a dream, especially in this time of Ramadan. They're so concentrated on spiritual things and on heavenly things and on the God they're seeking. Every Muslim is still a seeker for God, and then it so often happens, all over the Muslim world, that Jesus appears and they get a changed heart or a strong desire to follow that man who was in my room, who said, 'I'm Jesus, I came to heal you, I came to save you, I died for you, I want you to be with me in heaven.'"

During the month of Ramadan, many Muslims are seeking for an experience with God. They hope that God will be near to them, especially on the "night of power", which is believe by Muslims to be the day Mohammed supernaturally received the Quran.

For several decades now, Christians have organized to pray for Muslims during the month of Ramadan. This year the initiative led by 30-Days International is dubbed "Loving Muslims Through Prayer".

According to The Christian Post, "Some former Muslims who lived in areas where they have no contact with Christians and no chance of hearing the Gospel have said they had dreams and visions of Jesus which spurred them to seek more information about Jesus Christ, eventually resulting in their conversion."

Indeed Muslims around the world are discovering the truth of Jesus Christ. And in doing so, their lives are changed and they experience the reality written by the Apostle Paul 2,000 years ago to the early Christians:

"Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, shall guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6-7)

I’ve seen this reality in the lives of former Muslims around the world. Some are bold witnesses for the risen Jesus. They have carefully considered the cost of discipleship and have taken up their cross as followers of Christ.

And they are shaking the Islamic world at its very foundations.

Every knee will bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. When that day comes, our focus will be on Christ alone.

Effective law enforcement and military action is a critical function of government and Christians have a responsibility to play a direct role. And as members of the Church, the Body of Christ, Christians can impact the lives of Muslim terrorists through a ministry of prayer.

As for the answer to your question...

Thank you for explaining this. I thought I would have had the option to post in the bloggers forum after I clicked "post". I didn't realize that I should have been in that forum first and then clicked "post" there.

The Mohammedan heresy is doomed. Christ will destroy Mohammedanism, just as He destroyed Mithraism, Catharism, Arianism, and all the other heresies that have risen against Him.

What about Rhumatism and Priapism?

eventually resulting in their conversion

Which usually results in their death. How terrible it must be to want to worship the Lord and not be able to.

Can you even begin to imagine if during one of your prayer sessions you had a vision and Mohammad appeared in that vision telling you that he was the one true way to God and not Jesus. Just think how disturbing it must be for a Muslim to see Jesus in a vision.

I too pray daily for the billion plus souls who honestly and sincerely seek God and who have fallen prey to false religions. The apostle Paul spoke frequently of the pain he felt for this fellow Jews who would not open their hearts to Jesus, and at one point said he would even trade his salvation for that of the Jews.

My concern and prayers for those who don’t know Jesus is not limited to Muslims, but certainly extends to the millions right here in our own great country who have bought into the MSM line that Christians are the greatest threat to our way of life, greater than even Islamofascists.

But do they listen to Jesus? I think not.

I know someone who says Jesus appeared to him 3 times and taught him from the bible.

That man certainly lives his life like someone who has seen Jesus.

He has started well over 200 churches in Nigeria, has his own Bible College, his life is threatened daily, and his house is wired with speaker wire.

I should have posted this in the “Bloggers & Personal” section

I'm glad you didn't; otherwise, I wouldn't have seen it.
