30 Ways for Muslims to encounter Christ

There are many teachings in Islam that allow for murder, enslavement, rape, and abuse of women. Today we pray for both men and women in Nashville to see the value of women, who are created by God as His image bearers as well.

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

Men and women are equal before God, and one group is not superior over another: “…there is neither Jew nor Greek, slave nor free, male nor female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus” (Galatians 3:28).

Pray for Christians from a Muslim background in Nashville to renounce every way they have believed lies that men and women are not equal before God.

Praying Scripture

“What you see was predicted long ago by the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days,’ God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit upon all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your young men will see visions, and your old men will dream dreams. In those days I will pour out my Spirit even on my servants—men and women alike—and they will prophesy. And I will cause wonders in the heavens above and signs on the earth below…before that great and glorious day of the Lord arrives. But everyone who calls on the name of the Lord will be saved’”(Acts 2:16-21).

God pour out your Spirit.
Lord, let young and old, rich and poor, male and female to be filled with your Spirit.
Give visions and dreams.
Create powerful encounters with You, the living God.

Praying for the Church

Pray that God would free all those following Christ – new and mature believers of Nashville – of the spiritual bondage of the past.

Claiming Our Hope in Christ and His Heart for the Nations

Lord, you did it then, and you can do it now. You are the God of dreams and visions. Lord we pray in one voice that you would visit our Muslim brothers and sisters in the night through dreams. And we pray, too, that you would visit them during the day in open visions. We believe your heart is for movement breakthrough, so let your Kingdom come and your will be done here in Nashville as in heaven.

PRAISE

“Be still, and know that I am God. I will be exalted among the [Nashville] nations, I will be exalted in the earth!” (Psalm 46:10)

KINGDOM COME

“Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” (Matthew 5:10)  

Father, we intercede on behalf of every Nashville brother and sister undergoing persecution for the sake of righteousness. Bless them with greater intimacy with you and give them perseverance in suffering.

PRAY THE BOOK OF ACTS

“And every day, in the temple and from house to house, they did not cease teaching and preaching that the Christ is Jesus.” (Acts 5:41) May believers in Nashville saturate the city and state with the truth that Jesus is the Christ – loaded with all the richness of that title from Scripture. May every home have an opportunity to hear this truth. 

PRAY THE HALL OF FAITH

“And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” (Hebrews 11:6) Lord, please, cause multitudes in Nashville to seek you and experience the greatest reward – yourself! 

PRAYER

Lord, we pray for believers in Nashville who will discover the ways you make us more like Jesus. https://zume.training/consumer-vs-producer-lifestyle/
