30 Ways for Muslims to encounter Christ

Muslims acknowledge Jesus as a prophet from God. Let their curiosity be sparked in this season for them to learn all that Jesus says about Himself. Specifically, that He is “the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6) so that they may acknowledge Him as Lord and Savior.

Liberty to the Captives

Each of us who comes to Christ must repent of and renounce every pact, promise, or identity we held before faith in Christ. Join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ from a Muslim background as they repent of their former identity as Muslims. This prayer is inspired by chapter 7 and 8 of Liberty to the Captives by Mark Durie

Satan loves to put lies into our hearts. God’s truth protects us:
“… for your love is ever before me, and I walk continually in your truth” (Psalm 26:3).

Pray for Christians from a Muslim background in Nashville to repent of every form of deception and walk in God’s truth in all relationships.

Praying Scripture

“Let Nashville praise you, O God; let all the peoples praise you!” (Psalm 67:3).

Lord, may all Nashville praise you; may they praise you from every class and sect, from every religious and educational background; may they praise you in the cities and praise you in the villages, may they praise you from the seaside and praise you atop the highest peaks. You alone are worthy to receive glory and honor and praise, Great High King, rightful Ruler of Nashville.

Praying for the Church

Pray for faith, not fear, to be what controls Christians in Nashville.

With this news, strengthen those who have tired hands,

He is coming to save you.”

To those with weak knees, Lord, have mercy.
To those with fearful hearts, Lord, have mercy.

PRAISE

“From the rising of the sun to its setting, the name of the Lord is to be praised! The Lord is high above all [the Nashville] nations, and his glory above the heavens!” (Psalm 113:3-4)

KINGDOM COME

[ The Parable of the Net ] “Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind. (Matthew 13:47-50) 

Many Nashville of every kind be brought in your glorious Kingdom, even this month. We pray for wealthy and poor, educated and uneducated, religious and secular, young and old to be among the “good fish” at the end of the age

PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS

Paul reasoned daily in the hall of Tyrannnus and we’re told “this continued for two years, so that all the residents of Asia heard the word of the Lord, both Jews and Greeks.” (Acts 19:10) Father, empower believers in Nashville to boldly, faithfully, and consistently proclaim the Gospel of your Kingdom so that all the residents of Nashville would hear the word of the Lord and have an opportunity to respond to it. 

PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH

 “By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin.” (Hebrews 11:24-25) Lord, give all believers in Nashville an eternal perspective to find pleasure in you more than in the fleeting pleasures of sin. As they do, may it be a powerful testimony to onlooking family and friends. 

PRAYER

Lord, we pray for believers in Nashville to not only esteem knowing but also doing. https://zume.training/faithfulness-is-better-than-knowledge/
