Pray for Turks Feast of Sacrifice 2024

30 Ways for Muslims to encounter Christ

Islam teaches that Muslims are born into Islam, inheriting the religion of their parents. Christianity teaches the opposite, each person must make a personal decision to follow Christ and His teachings. Today we pray into this issue and ask for God to give grace to Muslims US & Turkiye to question this teaching that they inherited their religion from their parents.

Liberty to the Captives

Each of us who comes to Christ must repent of and renounce every pact, promise, or identity we held before faith in Christ. Join us in praying for our brothers and sisters in Christ from a Muslim background as they repent of their former identity as Muslims. This prayer is inspired by chapter 7 and 8 of Liberty to the Captives by Mark Durie

We are called to live in freedom. “[Jesus said:] Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:32).

Pray for Christians from a Muslim background US & Turkiye to root themselves in the freedom they have in Christ.

Praying Scripture

“Yes, even today when they read Moses’ writings, their hearts are covered with a veil, and they do not understand” (2 Cor 3:15).

Lord, remove the veil. Remove the blinders that keep Muslims from seeing the truth of Christ. May the gospel liberate people from blindness. May the principalities and powers and spiritual forces of evil US & Turkiye (Eph 6) be shut down, silenced, broken, rendered impotent. Jesus, your cross conquered the powers: the powers of death, Satan, and his kingdom. You have won the victory. And now, Lord, we call on your presence and power, your angels and ministers, to move in the spiritual realm US & Turkiye. As Daniel prayed and angels were dispatched and fought wars in the heavenly places, we believe your angels are on the move US & Turkiye, and we expect spiritual breakthrough this month of Ramadan.

Praying for the Church

Pray that God would protect Christians US & Turkiye from distractions and false teachings.

Claiming Our Hope in Christ and His Heart for the Nations

Lord Jesus, your words are life. May we say ‘yes’ to life-giving connection to God, which comes as we obey, as we practice, as we put into action our faith.

Lord, allow believers US & Turkiye to reject passive, consumerist tendencies in their faith. Instead, empower them to be a priesthood of believers, a holy nation, called for a purpose, commissioned by God to render into the world the rule and reign of Christ. Let them shine the goodness of Christ’s light into the shadow and chaos of this present darkness.
