Muslims Dreaming about Jesus
What does God do when He wants to reach people who have no access to the Good News of Christ? He sends them dreams. Hundreds, maybe hundreds of thousands, of Muslims are encountering Jesus or something that points them to Jesus in their dreams—such as the 17-year-old girl in one of the stories of the previous post. Muslims put great stock in dreams and so it’s a natural medium for God to use. Often, once they’ve had such a dream, they never return to the mosque.
Once such man was having a hard time. He was always sick. His family was sick. They were poor, their animals weren’t reproducing and everything was going bad for them. He went to the sheikh of the mosque and asked what to do. The sheikh told him to fast and pray for three days and at the end of the three days he’d be told what to do. So he did.
At the end of the three days he had a vision. In the vision, he was told to seek Jesus. He didn’t have a clue what a Jesus was—a food, a tree, a person. But he was told how to find out about Jesus. He was to walk to a certain city that was seven hours away. The first two people he saw when he came to the city, he was to ask where a certain street was. When he got to that street, he was to find a particular building with a certain sign on the door. He was to ask the person who opened the door about Jesus.
He followed the instructions, not even telling his wife what he was doing. When he arrived at the door and asked his question, he was pulled inside the house quickly. He had no idea that asking about Jesus in a loud voice was dangerous. Who had he connected with? One of only three Christians in a country of a quarter million Muslims. Now, is that God or what?
He went home after staying a week, studying with this man, and everything changed for him. He and his family became healthy, their animals started reproducing and everything that had gone bad for them started going well. Their neighbours wanted to know why and in his answer, he led three families to Christ and they began to worship together.
