Two Assembly of God missionaries say they have heard reports of Muslims coming to Christ after dreaming of Jesus.
James Bradford, the lead pastor at Central Assembly in Springfield, Missouri, and missionary Dick Brogden told Assemblies of God News that Muslims are reporting having dreams of Jesus and converting to Christianity, CBN News reports.
“I would even say it’s the normal experience,” Brogden said. “It would be accurate to say that Muslims are responding to Jesus in levels we have never seen, not in 1,400 years!”
“Dreams are contributing to revelation (as in assurance), the process of evangelism, and conversion,” he continued. “So many Muslims reject Islam but know that to follow Jesus will cost them everything. Dreams of Jesus encourage them along the way and give them the comfort that Jesus will be with them — though it cost them everything to follow Him.”
Bradford said he heard a testimony of a woman who dreamt of Jesus.
“A woman had left the Muslim faith, but she was full of hatred and suspicion of Christians. She didn’t know what to do — she asked God for help,” he said. “One night she had a dream where she saw a shepherd, walking about an empty tomb with a staff. The shepherd walked around it a few times, and then He headed directly toward the woman. He had a loaf of bread in His hands, which He broke and offered to her and as He did, He said, ‘Take, eat, this is my body.'”
He said that she accepted Jesus as her Savior.
“She prayed: ‘Jesus, if you are the real God, I want to see you,'” Brogden said.
“Later, tending her sheep in the desert, she came across a pool of water. Bending down to drink she looked into the water and saw in the reflection a massive man standing behind her. He held a shepherd’s staff and He was smiling. She whipped around, but there was no one there. She looked again in the water, and there was this massive Shepherd.”
She then added that when she went home her mother, who was bound to a chair, was able to stand up and walk.
“The sister threw up her hands in surrender and shouted: ‘Jesus, I believe, I believe!'” Brogden said.
