Iran
Now Has One of Fastest Growing Christian Population As More Muslims Are Having
Dreams and Visions of Jesus
Despite
severe persecution and acts of terror from ISIS headlining the front pages,
Christianity remains strong and is, in fact, a fast growing religion in Iran -
one of the most hardline Islamic countries in the world today.
In a report from CBN,
wherein the interviewees - Iranians visiting Kurdistan - have requested
anonymity for their protection, former Muslims are revealing that many are
coming to Jesus through supernatural dreams and visions. The dreams are giving
them hope amidst the desperation and hardship facing many in the Islamic
Republic today.
"Dennis," one such ex-Muslim who had
converted to Christianity after having a dream about Jesus, admits that
desperation in Iran is driving more people to run to Christ as the answer to
their predicament.
"Yes, many people are coming to Christ
through a dream. You cannot imagine how Jesus is appearing to them...You know
the experience that the Iranian people are passing through right now is very
difficult. The only one who can change that situation is Christ Himself,"
Dennis said.
Dennis' dream was a dramatic message that moved
him to look to Jesus as a source of truth.
"In the dream, I still remember some marks
on His face and that He was wearing a crown, a King's crown on His head. Very
strong brightness came out of each part of His Body and many people were bowing
down before Him...That dream became a turning point in my life."
Another
convert who shared her story was a woman named "Abby".
"Suddenly, one of the nights when I was in
my bed, I just dreamed, and the Light was speaking as I'm speaking to you
now," Abby recalled. "It was speaking to me and calling my name
verbally and saying 'Come to me. I will save you and I will rescue you.'"
"Abby" and her mother soon made a
difficult decision - one that could cause them to be executed by the government
or socially ostracized by their community.
"This year, about seven months ago, we made
our decision to follow Jesus with all our hearts," she said.
This is not the first time that this puzzling
supernatural phenomenon have occurred. Reports of Muslims - from hardline
Islamic countries across the globe - having dreams of Jesus have been growing
in strength in the last five years.
God
Reports is a privately maintained blog where a collection of first-hand
experiences of ex-Muslims and their dreams about Jesus are meticulously
detailed. Nabeel
Qureshi's post describes how he had specifically asked God to give him
three different dreams as proof, and how these prayers were carefully answered.
The phenomenon has only motivated the converts to
share their faith even more. As for Dennis, he would like the flames of
Christianity to take a deeper hold over Iran.
"Please pray and ask the others to pray for
the people of Iran to experience the power of the Resurrection," Dennis
said.
