Muslims Converting After "Isa Dreams"

Post by SoCalExile »

In the Muslim world, dreams have a much bigger significance than they do in the west. Apparently there is a phenomenon of Muslims dreaming about Isa (Jesus) where He invited them to follow Him, and they convert to Christianity. Here's a site about it, with links:

Now some Christians are dismissing this already, instead of taking it for what it is and helping them, which makes me yX-(2 .

What are you thoughts?

I have known a few Muslims who claimed to have these. One did convert.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.

I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night
without.

I would certainly not dismiss this. I genuinely think that this is God breaking through to the muslim world. I have read a few books on this and am pretty convinced. Exciting stuff.

You know, when you consider what we are able to do in regards to defeating radical Muslimism, (which is nothing) other than prayer,.... and I'm not talking about a physical conquering or confrontation of the radicals... I'm just talking about ... "hey, quit beheading our people, don't shoot them any more, quit displacing thousands of us, don't crucify, burn or bury alive any more of our children" ... when you consider what little there is, besides prayer, we can do about this in real time... it makes perfect sense that Jesus would and could take it upon Himself to "Do something" about it because He can. (maybe because of, in conjunction with, the answer to, our prayers for His heavenly assistance.)

This, if happening on an international basis, and it looks like it may be, is exactly what it would take to stop or slow down the radical agenda of radical Muslimism. It also, unfortunately brings on more Christians for them to slaughter, and it's not like they don't already callously kill more of their own people than ours in their wake of territorial conquest.

What a perfect solution to this problem. No jihad, just pure conversion by the love of the universe.
Trust the past to God’s mercy, the present to God’s love, and the future to God’s providence. -St Augustine

I accept this for I'm reminded of Joel 2:28.I think it is God himself reaching people that can be reached that are very difficult for us to reach.
Hebrews 12:2-3 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith;who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross,despising the shame,and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

2nd Corinthians 4:4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not,lest the light of this glorious gospel of Christ,who is the image of God,should shine unto them.

I have actually read about Muslims having such dreams a while back, great to read of so many more cases.
I think it's fantastic.
God is great, He will reach His flock, where ever they are, by whatever means.
I can't quite understand why some Christians would dismiss this?
Too exclusive?
Praise God He is not exclusive and loves us all!

A recent book that witnesses this, and the dangers these new Christians face in the modern Muslim world:

Amazing.
But examine everything carefully; hold fast to that which is good.
-- 1 Thessalonians 5:21

For I am confident of this very thing, that He who began a good work in you will perfect it until the day of Christ Jesus.
-- Philippians 1:6

Yes, I expect we'll see more of this.
