Why Pray for Muslims? Jesus Died for Them.....

Ramadan 2011:  August 1 - 30

I receive this every year from 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World.  Each day of Ramadan a specific call for collective prayer comes to my inbox.  I wanted to share this with you.....

 

Why Pray For Muslims?

Muslims do not generally realize :
... that Jesus, the Messiah, is to be obeyed.
... that Jesus has the ability to forgive sins.
... that Jesus has conquered death through his resurrection.
... that Jesus has power over evil spirits.

... Muslims think of Jesus as a great prophet who preached an earlier form of Islam.
... Muslims generally believe that they can earn God’s approval through religious activities (prayers, fasting, giving money).
... Muslims do not think they can know God. They only think that they can know about Him.

“Worthy are You ... for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood men from every tribe and tongue and people and nation.” (Rev. 5:9)

This is why we are praying.

These heroes need you!  The source of their strength is the Lord and He invites us to be a part!
