Christians ministering quietly in the Middle East say Muslims are coming to Christ at an unprecedented pace despite intense persecution of those who leave Islam.
"Probably in the last 10 years, more Muslims have come to faith in Christ than in the last 15 centuries of Islam," said Tom Doyle, Middle East-Central Asia director for e3 Partners, a Texas-based missions agency.

A former pastor, Doyle has been to the Middle East around 80 times and last week returned to the U.S. from a trip to Jerusalem, where he said both Muslims and Jews are turning to Christianity.

But many Muslim-background believers have said they came to Christ after having dreams and visions of Jesus.

"I can't tell you how many Muslims I've met who say: ‘I was content. I was a Muslim, and all of a sudden I get this dream about Jesus and He loved me and said come follow Me," Doyle said.

Doyle notes that the supernatural is an important part of the Islamic faith.

I take Charisma Mag lightly but this is an interesting article...

I am sure there are Muslims coming to salvation. For Jesus died for all mankind and not even the strict laws of Islam can prevent those God predestined to be His. I love what it says in Acts about being in the right place and born in the right era/time to have every chance to come to salvation.

AC 17:24 "The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not live in temples built by hands. 25 And he is not served by human hands, as if he needed anything, because he himself gives all men life and breath and everything else. 26 From one man he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth; and he determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live. 27 God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find him, though he is not far from each one of us. 28 `For in him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, `We are his offspring.'

So even in the Middle East there are those who God is certainly bringing to His gospel truth so they might be Saved. Praise God!!!!!

I just heard this today on Christian radio in my car and I was praising the Lord

[readytogo]

I generally take what Charisma mag says with a grain of salt, but I'm hearing and seeing reports elsewhere.

Our Lord, CREATED THE UNIVERSE(s)..whenever HE WANTS HE can easily CREATE another ZILLION UNIVERSES.....YES?
Our Lord,FORMED MAN using DUST....the cheapest and most common matter of CREATION....
What a GLORIOUS LORD!
By the way,just look at this:


Our Lord SAVED us at THE CROSS,HE DID ALL ALONE...we were not there,we weren't even born...
BUT HE DID IT!!!!
Our Lord used ISRAEL,a stiff-neck people to evangelize the world then and through a line of sinners saved by HIS GRACE( see David,Salomon,Rahab and others)brought THE MESSIAH via VIRGIN BIRTH...


OUR LORD CAN DO ANYTHING,He opens the sea,raises the dead,gives sight to the born blind,makes the dumb sing....
YES,now HE has HIS BODY( of which we are a part) to preach HIS GLORIOUS GOSPEL of GRACE...but,hey,HE IS NOT LIMITED....

We limit HIM so much...but in reality WE CANNOT LIMIT HIM...we cannot even FATHOM HIS IMMENSE POWER....
Is it really so astounding that HE GIVES DREAMS and VISIONS of HIMSELF to CALL TO REPENTANCE and SALVATION those poor Muslim souls that WE IGNORE and shun FORGETTING that a MUSLIM is just another SINNER ( like me,like us) in DIRE NEED of SALVATION...

JESUS DIED and ROSE AGAIN so that ANYONE can get ETERNALLY SAVED...PRAISE THE LORD,and if we have become so fearful like the disciples of old and are SHUT in the 4 walls of a building that "WE" call church ( but it is a building) ,if we have NO MORE LOVE and COMPASSION for THE LOST of ALL RACES and CREEDS that we rather sit in our sheltered comfort zone,well HE WILL GO HIMSELF,HE IS UNSTOPPABLE,Praise THE LORD and SAVE TO THE UTTERMOST!

JESUS HAS NOT CHANGED! HE IS THE SAME,YESTERDAY ,TODAY and FOR EVER! ( Hebrews 13:8 ),because HE IS STILL THE WONDERFUL SAVIOR of LOST SOULS!!!







WE BETTER START SOME SERIOUS SEEKING THE LORD and GET READY for REAL!

LOVE TO ALL IN CHRIST OUR LORD!

I too lift up praises to our Father for this great news and the work the Holy Spirit is doing in these folks.

Yeah Another sign of the last days. And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams: Acts 2 - 17 I have been thinking about this scripture and wondering if this was going on.

I hold the same that pub in the same regard.

I had there opportunity the fact check with someone in a position to know the pulse of Christan ministry/evangelism, Hormoz Shariat . I sent the article to him asking him if the content agreed with what he is seeing in his ministry called "Iran Alive Ministries".

Here is his reply:
This article is accurate especially what it says about Iran. Not many people know what is happening in Iran spiritually and how open that country is to the message of the Gospel. Even fewer churches and ministries are involved in that country.

I say, Praise God for the for the move of His Holy Spirit to the Farsi speaking in Iran!!!

Our mighty God is doing what He said He would and ripening the fields before the final harvest of this Age.

It is so awesome to watch Him move in power, saving, healing, delivering, using signs and wonders to display His sovereign power among the peoples of this world!!! \o/ \o/ \o/
