Vision and Dreams 2023
Now Joseph had a
dream, and when he told
it to his brothers they
hated him even more.
Then he dreamed
another dream and told
it to his brothers and
said, “Behold, I have
dreamed another dream.
Behold, the sun, the
moon, and eleven stars
were bowing down to
me.” Genesis 37: 5&9
Viewpoint: “Wait! I’ve seen that man!” Ali* said excitedly to his believing friend. “Read that again, please.” “Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning, I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands, one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest. The hairs of his head were white, like white wool, like snow” (Revelation 1:12-14).
“I have seen that man in my dreams,” Ali said again. “He tells me to read the Bible.”
We know that God works through visions and dreams; we see examples of that in Joseph’s and John’s lives. Even today, God works through visions and dreams. As Muslims have shared their faith journeys, many have talked about having visions or dreams of Jesus or God the Father directing them to read the Bible. They’ve also told of times; in their lives when they have earnestly asked God to reveal Himself to them, and God has done so through visions or dreams.

Prayer point:
Pray that Saudis will seek God and, He will reveal Himself to them. Pray that more Saudis will have visions and dreams of Jesus or God the Father, directing them to read the Bible themselves. Pray that many Saudis’ hearts will be open to accepting that Jesus is The Way, The Truth, and The Life.
