Day 16-Kingdom Spread: Dreams and Visions
ACTS 2:17 “In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.”
***Pray that P believers will seek after and enjoy close fellowship with Jesus. Joh 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit by itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in me. Joh 15:7 If you abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
TRIBAL WATCH Noorzai Pashtuns are a force to be reckoned with in both Afghanistan & Pakistan! The 4.5 million members of the Noorzai tribe, part of the Durrani confederation, inhabit a large part of the south of Afghanistan,with significant groups in Kandahar, Kabul, Farah, Helmand, Herat & Nimroz. Eighty per cent of the population of Farah is from the Noorzai tribe & forty two per cent of the population of Helmand, living in the well-known areas of Garamser, Gereshk & Lashkar Gah. Another million live over the southern border in Baluchistan. Pray that Noorzai Pashtuns living in Kabul & Quetta would be exposed to the good news and come to faith for a movement towards Christ amongst this influential tribe.

Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to Jesus, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples!”
“I tell you,” he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out.” Luke 19:39-40
Many people here in Afghanistan encounter Jesus in dreams and visions. We gospel workers, like midwives assisting with a birth, get the joy of helping guide these people into new life in Christ after their hearts have already been prepared. It is such an honor and privilege to serve Jesus in this nation. I get to listen to people share their dreams and visions of Jesus, and I hold their hands and walk with them as they learn more about “the man in white” from their dreams, who died for their sins.
Sakina was a young lady oppressed by evil spirits. Her family was concerned she had mental problems. One day she had a dream of a man in white who came into her room, took her heart from her chest, and breathed on it. As soon as the man’s breath reached her heart, it became pure white. He then put it back inside of her, and she felt peace fill her soul. Not long after having this dream, Sakina met a believer who was able to explain her dream to her and tell her about “the man in white who is able to clean hearts.”
God himself is the one touching hearts and revealing himself here—many times through dreams and visions. The Pashtuns are known for being a group of people hard to reach with the gospel, and few people are willing to dedicate their lives to bringing Christ to them. In a world where many churches are packed with people, we need more Christians out in the field, dedicating their lives to sharing Christ with the lost. Many people are dying without having heard the name of Jesus. But God is causing the “stones to cry out” in people’s dreams, awakening their hearts to a longed-for, yet unknown Savior, making them hungry to know more.
Jesus said the harvest is great, but the laborers are few (Luke 10:2). He is pursuing the lost and preparing them to receive the gospel, often through dreams or visions. Who will be there to explain their dream to them when they have questions?
Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession. Psalm 2:8
