The Call of CHRISTmas: To Protect

Dreams:
a person averages between four and six dreams each night.

“God speaks to us in whatever language and ways we can understand. He became one of us that we might be one with Him. Muslim miraculous stories are especially persuasive to me because those who share them have so little to gain and so much to lose. Many Muslim converts are exiled from their families and homes; many are tortured and many are killed. Their courageous faith is testimony to the hope found only in Jesus and the transforming power of the Spirit.” ~ Dr. Jim Denison

“Why is the Holy Spirit using dreams to reach Muslims today?”

The God who spoke to patriarchs, prophets and apostles through visions is now speaking to Muslims in the same way. Long ago the Lord did what He continues to do today. As Isaiah the prophet once wrote: “I revealed myself to those who did not ask for me; I was found by those who did not seek me.” ~ Isaiah 65:1

Dreams and Visions: Is Jesus Awakening the Muslim World?

What would you do if Jesus appeared to you in a dream? What if He came to you in a vision and told you to follow Him? What if these visions continued for over thirty days? would you believe? Would you put your trust in him? Would you devote your life to him? Would you if you were Muslim?
Pastor Tom Doyle has spent eleven years as a  full-time missionary in the Middle East and Central Asia, spreading the word of Jesus Christ. Throughout his journey he has encountered a staggering number of Muslims who were first introduced to Jesus through a vision or dream so powerful that they eventually turned from their lifelong religion of Islam and embraced Christ as their Savior. Despite living in a culture where converting to Christianity can result in execution, these former Muslims have found hope, peace, and inspiration that comes from knowing Christ. Their stories will amaze you. Jesus is reaching out to the Muslims and they are responding. Did you know that Iran has the fastest growing church in the world?
Dreams and Visions is a remarkable collection of stories directly from the world of Islam. Doyle not only relates these stories, but also addresses the questions:Why would God use dreams to reach the Muslim world?Can dreams be trusted?What happens after these dreams or visions occur?

What is it that God is calling you to do this Christmas...immediately?

May we demonstrate a life lived in such a way that we honor the God who saved us and the God who is with us: Our Jesus...Our Immanuel.

May we share Him with a world that needs to know Him and His everlasting protection.
Jesus and Immanuel, express the meaning of the story. God is present with His people. God doesn’t intervene from a distance, but is always active, sometimes in the most unexpected ways. ~ NT Wright

Is there a situation you are going through this Christmas that desperately needs a God intervention in an unexpected way?

God always takes the initiative.
What came next from Joseph was immediate obedience.
