REPORT: ISIS JIHADIST CONVERTS TO CHRISTIANITY AFTER SEEING JESUS IN HIS DREAMS
 
by MARY CHASTAIN
15 Jun 2015
 
ISIS slaughters Christians and destroys churches while they establish their caliphate in Syria and Iraq. But one militant reportedly converted to Christianity after a man in white appeared in his dreams.
 
Gina Fadely, the director of Youth With A Mission Frontier Missions (YWAM), told The Voice of the Martyrs Radio Network one of their workers met a former ISIS fighter who murdered Christians, but converted after a dream:
 
He told this YWAM leader that he had begun having dreams of this man in white who came to him and said, You are killing my people. And he started to feel really sick and uneasy about what he was doing, Fadely continued. The fighter said just before he killed one Christian, the man said, I know you will kill me, but I give to you my Bible. The Christian was killed and this ISIS fighter actually took the Bible and began to read it. In another dream, Jesus asked him to follow him and he was now asking to become a follower of Christ and to be discipled.
 
So who knows. Perhaps this man will be like Saul in the Bible that persecuted Christians and he turned from that persecution of the early church to become the Apostle Paul who led it, Fadely added. God can turn it around.
 
Fadely is speaking about St. Paul the Apostle, who was known as Saul before he converted. He used to persecute the followers of Jesus and some texts claim he enjoyed it as much as the ISIS fighter enjoyed murdering Christians. On his way to Damascus to persecute more followers, he is blinded by a light and hears a voice. From Acts 9:1-9:
 
1 Meanwhile Saul was still breathing threats to slaughter the Lord's disciples. He went to the high priest
 
2 and asked for letters addressed to the synagogues in Damascus, that would authorise him to arrest and take to Jerusalem any followers of the Way, men or women, that he might find.
 
3 It happened that while he was travelling to Damascus and approaching the city, suddenly a light from heaven shone all round him.
 
4 He fell to the ground, and then he heard a voice saying, Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting me?
 
5 Who are you, Lord? he asked, and the answer came, I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting.
 
6 Get up and go into the city, and you will be told what you are to do.
 
7 The men travelling with Saul stood there speechless, for though they heard the voice they could see no one.
 
8 Saul got up from the ground, but when he opened his eyes he could see nothing at all, and they had to lead him into Damascus by the hand.
 
9 For three days he was without his sight and took neither food nor drink.
 
The jihadists cleanse areas within their caliphate of anything they deem un-Islamic. Tombs and shrines are wiped off the map while non-Muslims are forced from their homes. For the first time in 2,000 years, not a single Christian lives in Mosul, Iraq's second-largest city and one of the earliest homes of Christianity. They destroy libraries and implement strict Islamic curriculum in schools. People must follow Sharia law. The terrorists also post pictures and videos of beheadings and public executions. They recently beheaded 21 Coptic Christians in Libya.
 
Kevin Sutter, another YWAM leader, told the show that an Arab leader said many Muslims are losing faith in Islam.
 
Many people are now following Jesus but they keep it quiet, he explained. They haven't gone public about it. They even have church in their own home, they're watching, they'll serve communion to one another as they're watching TV.
 
In March, apologist Nabeel Qureshi told The Christian Post dreams are significant to Muslims:
 
In Muslim cultures, generally speaking, people don't see themselves as being able to commune with God. Communion is a very Christian concept and the idea that Christ has torn down the veil in a lot of cultures the veil is still up. In Islam, for example, people don't expect to have God talk back to them personally, as the Holy Spirit isn't living in them. They ask God for guidance through dreams; that's like the one way that Muslims expect to hear from God, Qureshi explained.
 
For someone to reach out and ask, God, can you tell me about you? Or, If you're Jesus, can you show me a dream? That's not strange at all That's kind of what Muslims do, he added.

It would be nice if Jesus visited in all of their dreams instead of just one..kind of like a group text. Maybe that's too difficult for THE SON OF GOD?

Jesus visited me in a dream last year on my birthday, February 9th. I already believed in Him, but He came to me and told me to be still, and let Him take care of everything. ..My Dad had a dream of Jesus right before he became very ill. ..My Husband walked with Jesus when he died in a motorcycle wreck. The Dr told him it was a miracle he was alive. His rib punctured his heart and he had major head trauma. ..Jesus came to him in a vision recently, to tell me something. God works in mysterious ways, in His own timing. 4951

You sure someone did not break in your house and it was them telling you that.  That does not sound right. 4951

I appreciate that you think so, but does that even seem reasonable to you? He, personally came to millions in some way, and ALL rejected him? I get he works in mysterious ways, but that's just not very effective leadership. 4951

Matthew 24:14
And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations, and then the end will come.
 
Everyone will have a chance to accept Him or remain in unbelief. 4951

Perhaps it was a dream, perhaps he saw the truly horrific things that most of hardcore ISIS fighters do, maybe things he had done.
"Amazing grace! How sweet the soundThat saved a wretch like me!I once was lost, but now am found;Was blind but now I see."

@BooBear: Suddenly this verse from 1st Corinthian came to mind (Living Bible translation).27 Instead, God has deliberately chosen to use ideas the world considers foolish and of little worth in order to shame those people considered by the world as wise and great.  So I guess God's approach wont always seem practical but I understand where you're coming from.
