More Than Dreams (DVD, 2007)

As a small child, I wondered how people in remote places would hear about Jesus' love and forgiveness. Who would reach those living in restricted areas? Who spoke local languages and dialects that lacked our familiar words of faith? As an adult, I now know that mission agencies and translators are hard at work filling the gap, but I now realize that God's ultimate resources are above and beyond anything we can imagine. More Than Dreams tells five powerful stories that are examples of supernatural Christ encounters experienced by Allah lovers in the Muslim world. Life changing dreams and experiences that show God's sovereignty over the plans of man and the forces of evil! God loves all people and Muslims in particular! Buy this DVD and share it with your small group, church, and fellow believers who pray for the lost. God's resources are unlimited!

This is not about theology, Christian vs Muslim. It is about real experience of people of the Muslim faith earnestly seeking to know God and the truth. It is a fulfillment of the prophecy in Joel and referred to by Peter in Acts 2. In the last days, God says, I will pour out of my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. With God there are no boundaries just his love for all of mankind and His will that all men come to know him. This video series is a great testimony in the native languages of Muslims in many parts of the world. I highly recommend it as a witnessing tool and also for Christians that may harbor ill feeling towards Muslims because of terrorism. God loves them and is reaching them one by one. As Christians we must never align ourselves with political movements or take sides in the affairs of this world. Be are ambassadors of the heavenly kingdom, foreigners in a foreign land representing the interests of our King.

I stumbled across the DVD while searching for something that I do not remember. I bought it and was pleased to find that it was subtitled in English and tells great accounts of how people from Muslim communities met Jesus. Some met Him one way, others met him another. The quality of the filming is great compared to other "re-enactment" type videos I have seen. What is most valuable is that these videos show, from multiple Muslim cultures, the struggles people face when they encounter who the Quran calls the sinless Prophet and the Messiah. What should help anyone considering buying this DVD is that it is usually cheap ($1-3) and the stories are varied, from local leaders, to house wives to a radical Islamist's challenge of discrediting the Bible and the Christians Jesus only to find that its not so easy to prove.
"More Than Dreams" is a must buy for anyone with Muslim friends who is curious about details of living in a Muslim culture, or for those who would like to provide a tool to those friends for exploring the possibility that Jesus is more than just a sinless prophet and Messiah for the Jews, but that Jesus is alive today and is meeting Muslims around the world to prove that He is more than a dream.

This DVD is pretty simple. I had thought it could give some depth to the discussion. The guy sleeping on sand becomes Christian after dreaming of Jesus. That's the depth of it. It is very sad, as I was hoping to be stimulated by some in-depth comparisons, discussions etc... Nothing like that. I would recommend everyone to stay away from it simply because it is not inspiring.

This has captions because the talking is in Arabic, Turkey or the language of the person who had the experience with Jesus. Very good movie with amazing testimonies about what God is doing!
