Ramadan Muslim Annual Prayer Focus (For the week of January 4 -10, 1998) FROM THE NATIONAL PRAYER EMBASSY, HERE IS TODAY'S PRAYER ALERT: IN RECENT YEARS A COALITION OF CHRISTIAN GROUPS HAS ORGANIZED SPECIAL PRAYER FOR MUSLIMS WORLDWIDE, TO COINCIDE WITH THE MUSLIMS' ANNUAL WORLDWIDE MONTH OF FASTING CALLED, "RAMADAN." ONE INTERNATIONAL MOVEMENT OF CHRISTIANS, CALLED THE "30 DAY MUSLIM PRAYER FOCUS," IS CALLING CHRISTIANS EVERYWHERE TO LEARN ABOUT ISLAM, AND TO PRAY FOR MUSLIMS, SO THAT THEY MAY COME TO KNOW GOD'S GRACE REVEALED IN JESUS CHRIST. AT ONE BILLION PEOPLE WORLDWIDE, MUSLIMS ARE THE LARGEST BLOC OF PEOPLE UNREACHED OR RESISTANT TO THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST. THEY INCLUDE A DIVERSE GROUP OF PEOPLE, RANGING FROM AMERICA AND EUROPE, TO THE MIDDLE EAST AND NORTH AFRICA, TO THE FORMER SOVIET REPUBLICS OF CENTRAL ASIA, TO PAKISTAN, INDIA AND THE ISLAND NATIONS OF THE FAR EAST, SUCH AS INDONESIA, MALAYSIA AND THE PHILIPPINES. LET'S PRAY ABOUT THIS TODAY: "FATHER GOD, IN THE NAME OF JESUS, WE AGREE NOW WITH EVERY PRAYER OF FAITH BASED ON YOUR WORD THAT YOUR SPIRIT IS LEADING YOUR PEOPLE TO PRAY AT THIS TIME FOR THE MUSLIMS OF THE WORLD. WE THANK YOU LORD FOR SENDING FORTH YOUR GOSPEL LABORERS
TO REACH THE MUSLIMS, AND WE PLEAD THE BLOOD OF JESUS OVER THEM
NOW TO GIVE THEM PEACE AND TRUTH, IN JESUS; NAME, AMEN!" |
