Spiritual Realities (1)
For Monday, 1st August, Ramadan 2011. Praying in Faith, Hope and Love for the Muslim World
Like all other peoples around the world, Muslims have to deal with certain evil, invisible spiritual realities. These negative spiritual realities are influencing and dominating Islamic civilization (as well as civilizations in general) (1 John 5:19). These forces can often be overcome by people who do things the opposite way (or “in the opposite spirit”).
Today and tomorrow we ask you to worship the Lord. Draw near to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from us. Then pray for the following subjects for yourself and Muslims in your town, region or country:
Where there is pride --- humility. Proverbs 8:13, 16:18, 29:23
Where there is legalism--- freedom. Mt 7:3-5
Where there is suspicion---trust. Acts 16:14
Jesus has shown us his way to do this through the cross. In his weakness he actually manifested strength. God has given us a commandment: “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” (Romans 12:21).
In praying for Muslims and in living with them we need to exhibit the life of God. If we allow ourselves to be motivated by fear, self preservation, and suspicion instead of faith, hope and love we will not be able to bring the Gospel to Muslims.
