Muslim Convert Dreams about Jesus and Reverts to Christianity (Mike's Testimony)

Mike was a Christian corrections officer who converted to Islam in 2001. After spending several years as a committed Muslim, he began to doubt Islam. He watched videos and read articles that challenged his faith. Discussions with Christian apologist Joe Carey and ex-Muslim Abdu Murray increased his doubts about Islam, and a dream about Jesus affected him deeply. Mike returned to Christ in 2013.

David Wood interviews Mike:

Testimony

Mike is an ex-Muslim of 12-years; however, he was not always a Muslim. At one time he was a Christian minister in the Restoration Movement, but he never had a living relationship with Jesus. He was led astray while in Bible college at the age of 23 years-old. Mike accepted Islam in June of 2001.

He became a Muslim Chaplain, but in time, he started to see a side of Islam that disturbed his soul. Mike started to re-examine the Christian faith, but Islam had a psychological hold on him. Mike wrote an article defending Islam in response to the 10th anniversary of 9/11, titled, "Murderous Muslims Defy the True Teaching of Islam." Joe Carey refuted the article. Mike and Joe eventually became friends and Mike was introduced to an ex-Muslim turned Christian apologist, Abdu Murray. Mike had many theological discussions with Joe and Abdu.

Unbeknownst to Mike, Abdu and Christian apologist Josh McDowell prayed one night for Jesus to appear to Mike in a dream because intellectually, he was having a tough time surrendering to Christ. That same night, Mike had a dream in which Jesus appeared to him and this shook his foundation in Islam. By the grace of God, Mike surrendered his life to Jesus on January 26, 2013.

Another dime-a-dz. ‘pastor’ who G_d sees as valuable enough to speak too one on one. They’re SO special. I know one that wants to be called ‘the Profit’ in his congregation. This clown; cult member.

By the way, your poor grammar is quite hard to understand.

Sounds like Mike either had sincere folks praying for him or he was born from above before drifting into the religion of satan. Since we are told in The Word of God that those born again are God’s workmanship and that parents are to raise up the child int he way that should go, Mike had a Heavenly Father Who would not leave him to flounder in apostasy, so He, GOD, hounded him back into living within the family values (that Hound of Heaven does more than just search out the lost, He works on the sheep who drift from the sheepfold).

We are all called individually - one at a time - and this is the beginning of a life long relationship with Jesus. Anything less is not Christianity.
Pray to know Him and He will respond - try it!!

What does Islam have to offer? Tribalism, worldly and animalistic instinctive behavior that tells you to hate outsiders and think like a group. There is no “thou shalt not kill”, let alone “love thy neighbor as thyself”.

That is your inference from the posts. It’s not mine, nor do I think it is saying nor implying what you are inferring.

Amazing Grace, How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now am found
T’was blind but now I see

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear
And Grace, my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils and snares
We have already come.
T’was grace that brought us safe thus far
And grace will lead us home,
And grace will lead us home

Amazing grace, Howe Sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
T’was blind but now I see

Was blind, but now I see.

I laid my hands on my wife and she was miraculously healed. This happened twice. Once 19 years ago and once six months ago.

38 years ago my wife was in her car yelling at God for taking her husband with Leukemia. Until, from behind her, with an audible voice, he said, “Be at peace, child”, and peace washed over her like warm water.

We Christians have a personal relationship with our creator.

And no, I don’t expect you to worship either one of us, or Paul, or Peter...

Yep! And it’s a very power statement that God will not let His children drift long from Him.

Praise The Lord for this!

Why are you so angry at God my child? Why kick so hard against the pricks? You will know how much HE loves you at some point in your life. Yes, you will KNOW.

Yep.if the current Muz campaign fails then it’s off on another angle to build his cult following. That’s who’s flacking for this guy here. It’s me it’s me it’s ALL about me.

I’m not angry but I am old enough to spot these charlatans who have such a special relationship with G_d, why, He travels down to give special revelation to the Selected One. And his PR campaign or Worship team or what ever that flack for him on forums. He has no special dispensation and he is, nobody. But ministry IS a good financial gig

I’m very surprised to hear he was a corrections officer that became an ass-lifter. I was a CO in NJ for 25yrs and it’s where I was exposed to the scourge of humanity called islam. Wtf was he thinking? Of all the groups/gangs in prison, the muslims were by far, the most difficult to deal with. I could write a book about all the stuff I used to do to piss them off.
