Jesus is appearing to all sorts of people all over the world.  They consistently report the sense of love from Him, not condemnation for being Muslim, Hindu, or whatever.

  They consistently report the sense of love from Him, not condemnation for being Muslim, Hindu, or whatever.

Since they've been veiled up until then, I could see that happening.  I  believe as Jesus appears to them to bring them to Him, He won't just leave them where they are - i.e., Muslim, Hindu, etc.  He'll give them their own "Road to Damascus experience" - change them, make them new.  He is forgiven much loves much!  That's really cool that He's doing that.  Of course He can succeed where [as stated in the article] missionaries/we fail.   :dsunny:

Wow that's awesome. Great testimony.  :HeartThrob:

It was impressive to see scripture being repeated.  In the article it says that the Muslims are coming to Christians and asking them what their dreams mean.  Then, for me the interesting part:  "They're motivated to find a Bible, find a Christian and ask what this means."

I couldn't help but be reminded of Philip and the eunuch in Acts.

And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. And the Spirit said to Philip, "Go over and join this chariot." So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, "Do you understand what you are reading?" And he said, "How can I, unless someone guides me?" And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him.
(Act 8:27-31)

Great and neat stuff all around.

Who was that man, that Ethiopian, that eunuch, that court official?  Who was Candace??

Therein lies a tale...

Former PLO operative turned Christian and peace activist Walid Shoebat says he believes Jesus is compensating for the weaknesses of the Western Church.

"I had first doubted the countless stories of Muslims becoming Christian as a result of dreams until I met some of them and heard their testimonies," Shoebat said. "My conclusion to this phenomenon is that Christ succeeds where the church fails."

Doyle agrees. He says Jesus should get the credit.

"It is a real Divine intervention. That is for sure," Doyle said.

Cool article for sure. If we can move beyond the limitations of "the Western Church" and get into "the Body of Christ under the Headship of Jesus", maybe God will use us instead of, or in addition to these visions.

   And the angel of the Lord spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. And he arose and went: and, behold, a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship, Was returning, and sitting in his chariot read Esaias the prophet.

   Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go near, and join thyself to this chariot. And Philip ran thither to him, and heard him read the prophet Esaias, and said, Understandest thou what thou readest? And he said, How can I, except some man should guide me? And he desired Philip that he would come up and sit with him. The place of the scripture which he read was this, He was led as a sheep to the slaughter; and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so opened he not his mouth: In his humiliation his judgment was taken away: and who shall declare his generation? for his life is taken from the earth. And the eunuch answered Philip, and said, I pray thee, of whom speaketh the prophet this? of himself, or of some other man? Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the same scripture, and preached unto him Jesus.

   And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. And he commanded the chariot to stand still: and they went down both into the water, both Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized him. And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the eunuch saw him no more: and he went on his way rejoicing.


Man I love that testimony. Lord grant us grace to become as Phillip was.

Therein lies a tale...

I hear he wore a mask and had a friend called Tonto.
