LOVE FOR THE MUSLIM PEOPLE?

With all that's happening in the Muslim nations, civil war, rebellion, Muslims killing Muslims, Governments overthrown, hatred and dissention, poverty and the like, we as followers of Christ Jesus should be praying for them even though their hatred for us causes them to murder the innocent Christians and Jews who try to live side by side with them. They bomb churches and throw innocent people in jail simply for possessing a bible. They even kill themselves in the name of Allah, their god. They encourage their children to die as martyrs for the sake of Allah. Not to mention the terrorists who target our cities and civilians in this country who welcome them with open arms. Why? I believe they have been misled from the beginning. What better weapon for the devil to use than religion? Ever since Abraham, this hatred of the descendants of Isaac has engulfed the descendants of Ishmael. Ishmael, Isaac's half brother, born of a bond woman, Hagar, who is the father of the Arab nations could not receive the inheritance of the first born of Abraham because he was not the heir of the 'Promise' God gave Abraham, to be the Father of the Jewish people and have the favor and protection of Yahweh, the God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob. So, to this day, the Muslim people feel that it is their god-given duty to kill Jews and Christians. Their Holy book, the Koran, even says so.
I pray that their eyes be opened to the error of their ways and the false god they serve. They are being misled by the devil by the millions. They live in fear and confusion with no sure hope of salvation except to die for the cause of Allah, to be martyrs of Islam. Why all the hatred?
I used to be an advocate against them, calling for them to leave our country if they could not assimilate into our way of life. I learned that their main goal was to convert the entire world to Islam and kill all those who would not convert to their way of life. But since then, even though I see the danger ahead, I feel for the Muslim people because they are being led astray and have no hope for the future. Unlike Christians and Jews, Muslims are reared on hatred and resentment of anyone who is not a Muslim, but especially Jews and Christians. Jesus teaches us to love our enemies and do good to those who persecute us. What I see here is stark contrast of the ideologies that govern our ways of thinking. One based on hate and the other on love. Which do you choose, hatred and death, or, love and life?

PRAYER FOR TODAY

Father God Yahweh, in the name of Jesus I pray for the Muslim people to come to an accurate knowledge of who You are, the Almighty God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The Creator of heaven and earth. The God who gave His only Son, Jesus, Yeshua, as a sacrifice for the sins of the entire world, who has proven His love for His people and continues to bless us with all good things and protect us from the enemy who seeks to destroy us. Open the eyes of the unbelievers who rely on false gods for guidance and turn them to You, the only true God, who loves them, and wants them to love Him and know Him and receive salvation and eternal life. Thank You Father God for hearing my prayers and being my Protector, Provider, and Healer. In the name of Jesus, Yeshua, our Lord and King. Make it so

SCRIPTURE FOR TODAY

"That they may know that You, whose name alone is Jehovah, are the most high over all the earth."  Psalm 83:18   (KJV)
