Today is the first day of Ramadan in the Muslim world...including here in Kosova where the population is 97% Muslim. Although the majority of Muslims here in Kosova are nominal in their practice of Islam, Ramadan is a time when there is an increased awareness of their faith. It is a time when we as followers of Jesus Christ need to get on our knees and pray for the chains of bondage to be broken, that the lost may hear the truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ, and receive His gift of salvation. We are in a battle, for the souls of the lost in this world.
"We have been given the weapons we need to free those who are in bondage. It is our privilege and our right to stand in the gap for those who are lost, to lift them up in prayer, and to demand back the territory Satan has stolen inch by inch. Through the power God has given us, we can and should use prayer to set our loved ones free. And God help us if we don't" (from Prayer Our Glorious Privilege, Chuck Smith, p105)
We need to reach out to Muslims in our communities with the love of God...the same love He has shown us. We must have an attitude of genuine love...
Here is a link to a great resource for prayer during the month of Ramadan. I encourage you to download the manual and make a commitment to pray for the Muslim world the next 30 days...
