I come from a family that went to church every other Sunday, but we were only nominal. When I accepted Jesus and became a believer in 1995, my father was not thrilled. So I became a secret believer. When he learned I continued with the christian faith, our relationship went downhill and now we have stopped talking for almost 3 years now. He felt that switching to another faith brought shame to the family. I was only switching from Catholicism. So I can imagine what it is like for a Muslim convert. I will pray for this brother that his whole household will be saved. I am not Muslim. I come from a family that went to church every other Sunday, but we were only nominal.

He has been a believer for several years now, but his Muslim family does not know yet. They are coming to the US soon, so he will have to tell them then. Please lift up this brother in prayer as well. Fear is very strong, but God's power & love can overcome it. There is a “secret believer” on my prayer team – right here in America!

I have felt led to pray that every seed planted by our Heavenly Father will be watered at just the right time - and that it will bear much fruit! He has already taken all captivity captive! We have no idea what the Lord has planted through the different generations, that is just there waiting to blossom in the right conditions. I pray that He will redeem the time - redeem the opportunites - redeem the giftings and annointings He has placed in families within the Muslim communities right now - that there will be a breaking forth and a breaking out. I pray that the Body of Christ itself will have eyes to see and ears to hear what the Lord is saying in this regard, and get rid of any fear lurking in our hearts towards our Muslim brothers and sisters - fear which will snuff out prayer and set up a barrier to Godly communication. May God forgive us for our own wasted opportunities to minister and encourage our Muslim neighbours.

Lets not pretend we are above that. Well I know Christian families that if one of them changed their religion, they would be disowned. Lets not pretend we are above that.

Jesus often commanded people to stay silent, not telling what He had done or said. There are many silent Believers all over the nations that need just to stand and trust in the Lord. This is well known in Heaven and they have a special protection and blessing. I just want encourage every secret Believer to trust in the Lord and to stand firm until He, the Lord Himself, will lead them to be witness about His Power, Holy Spirit in them. I thank God for every secret Believer that is transformed into a Prayer Warrior. This is only what he, or she can do, and must do for the Kingdom of God. Better to have a secret Believer that pray as a death believer, amen. Being a secret Believer is not a shame but often needed until a strong foundation is laid.

Just starting and I sense that God is already doing something in me. First time for some years that I’ve joined prayer for the Muslim world.
