Shiite Muslims – a people God is pursuing to be Jesus’ Bride

"Nicodemus exclaimed, 'How can an old man go back into his mother's womb and be born again?' Jesus replied, 'I assure you, no one can enter the Kingdom of God without being born of water and the Spirit.' Humans can reproduce only human life, but the Holy Spirit gives birth to spiritual life." John 3:4-6 NLT
Maryam and Yusef have been in the United States for only 5 months. They are Iraqi Shiite refugees who fled their country due to the war and came to the USA looking for a new life.
Here is part of a dream that Maryam had at 5:50 AM on Easter Sunday morning!
In her dream, Maryam was sitting while looking at 200 children playing off in the distance. Jesus came to her, dressed in a white robe, walking with a staff. He joined her in watching the children. All the children recognized Him as Jesus.
Maryam told Jesus that she had nothing, but He told her she was wrong. Then, (remember, this is in her dream!) Jesus reached into her womb and pulled out 200 eggs. The eggs looked like pearls and were glowing. She was amazed.
Jesus then tossed the eggs on the ground towards the children. The children excitedly exclaimed, "EGGS!!!" and then came rushing towards Maryam. She smiled, and turned to look at Jesus, but He was gone.
Believers in the Middle East began to share Jesus with Maryam and Yusef long before they ever set foot on American soil, and now this Iraqi Shiite couple is surrounded by people in a local church in the USA who are helping them settle in and adjust to life in their new land.
Friend of His Shiite Bride, pray this week for Maryam and Yusef to understand who Jesus is and to give themselves to Him. Pray that the 200 eggs Maryam saw Jesus pull from her womb will become 200 real Shiite Muslims who are born again and enter the Kingdom of God through Maryam and Yusef's influence. Pray, too, that many, many children come to Jesus when they see those EGGS, those Shiites who are following Jesus!
In these days, there are many Shiites coming to the United States. Some are coming to small towns and some to large cities, but all are looking for some hope and a NEW LIFE.
Many of these Shiites are hurting and lonely and are open to a smiling face and an open heart that stands out from the many faces they will see that are filled with fear and misunderstanding.
Will you be a face of fear or faith? Can Jesus use you tell the Shiites in the United States why Jesus matters? Will you look around you this week and see the Shiites around you as Jesus sees them?
