You may have noticed here at the Prayer Wall that we often ask the Lord to meet people in dreams, visions and other miraculous ways, especially in countries closed off to the Gospel, where Bibles are not available, Christians are persecuted, and missionaries are not permitted.
He is answering! In fact, as Muslims fast and seek God during Ramadan (which just ended last month), it is not uncommon for a Bible to appear where their Quran once sat or for Jesus to appear in their dreams, robed in white, inviting them to believe in Him.
“Muslims are very aware of dreams and visions. They believe dreams are a direct way that Allah chooses to reveal himself to people…. You will meet few Muslim-background believers who have come to Christ without an experience of this nature.”
Mike Edens, IMB.org
My husband and I also encountered this while sharing Christ with Afghan refugees. Although Jesus spoke to them through Christians’ love and through His Word, it was after a trusted relative appeared to the father of the household in a dream, telling him to believe in Jesus, that he and his wife courageously did so, and then boldly shared the Good News with their Afghani neighbors, despite fierce opposition from Muslim leaders in the community.
Even a former Hindu recently told a friend of ours how he met Christ in a dream while visiting a Muslim country. Now a Christian taxi driver in his home country of Nepal, he daily shares the Gospel with those he drives, leading many to faith.
Lord, thank You because nothing is impossible for You. Even in places where barriers to the Gospel loom high and missionaries are not allowed, You are still there, calling all people to Yourself. We ask You to do that all the more now in these days of such darkness. Flood every heart with Your light and bring forth a great awakening to You. Meet the lost in their dreams and give them visions from Your heart to theirs. Make a way for every person to hear Your Good News and know of Your great love, especially where there seems to be no way. For those who have experienced You in powerful ways but still have not believed, remind them now of the truth You spoke in those encounters. Give them such a deep hunger for You they will lay down their idols, search for You with all their hearts, and surrender to Your love. Tear down every wall, break every chain, and set the captives free to worship You alone as God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
