In a world that appears to have gone mad, in which the most prominent voices seem to be fueled by the Enemy’s insatiable thirst for mayhem, blood, and death, there is a silent majority numbering in the multiplied millions worldwide, people who desperately need our intercession. These are the moderate and nonreligious Muslims, those who identify as Muslim but don’t adhere to the Five Pillars of Islam or espouse the strictest tenets of the Quran to convert or kill all infidels.

Have you taken your place on the wall?

In some places in the world, these moderate Muslims and their children are targeted by radical Islamists as needing to be saved from their disobedience through various methods of coercion. These tactics include kidnapping — for reeducation and training into radical Islamic teachings or enlistment as child soldiers or as commodities in child sex trafficking. Like us, these nonreligious Muslims generally desire peace and the true American dream of pluralism in one nation under God — living beside their neighbors free from the spirit of death and the radical jihadists infiltrating cities, towns, schools, and homes. Many have immigrated to America to escape the very evils of radical religion that we are battling, and they need our prayers to withstand the pressures to submit to the culture of hate — to convert or die.

Father, our Muslim neighbors who want only to live here in peace are just like us: They desire to raise a family, build a community, and see their children well educated for productive and fulfilling lives. These are opportunities many of them didn’t think possible just one or two generations ago. We know that their immigration to America is not outside Your view. We know also that every evil work of the Enemy toward these families is being worked together for the good of those You love, who are predestined and called for relationship in the Body of Christ. We believe that many of them are in America for such a time as this, and that You need only the agreement of the saints to bring about their radical conversion to faith in Yeshua as Savior and Lord.

So, we confess by faith that You are inviting millions of these people into relationship with Yourself, sending workers into the harvest field to live and work alongside them in the love, peace, and authority of Yeshua as living witnesses. Give them encounters with Your love each and every day, until they cry out, “What must I do to be saved?” Please redeem the time for them, remove any veils of deception, and give them clarity regarding the evils of radicalism, so that they might no longer waver between two opinions. Protect them and their children from the plans of the Enemy to steal, kill, and destroy, and in Your mercy put to shame all those who deal treacherously against these families.

Anoint us, the Body of Christ, with the discernment to recognize them among us, and keep filling us with Holy Spirit fruit as we engage them. Release Your provision to us, because we want to be blessed to be a blessing to those who might be tempted to radicalize just to survive. Through it all, help us to proclaim the name of Yeshua whenever we’re asked the reason for the faith and joy we have in the midst of chaos. We believe that You will give us supernatural favor and protection from every evil work, and we thank You in all things! All this we ask for with deep faith in the authority of our Lord and Savior Yeshua. Amen.
