Iran in History and Bible Prophecy (Part One)
By Dr. Mike Evans
Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Son of man, set your face against Gog, of the land of Magog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him, and say, ‘Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, O Gog, the prince of Rosh, Meshech, and Tubal. I will turn you around, put hooks into your jaws, and lead you out, with all your army, horses, and horsemen, all splendidly clothed, a great company with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords. Persia, Ethiopia, and Libya are with them, all of them with shield and helmet; Gomer and all its troops; the house of Togarmah from the far north and all its troops—many people are with you.
—Ezekiel 38:1-6, NKJV
The Power of Prayer
By Dr. Mike Evans
Just ask Esther if prayer changes things. She came to the king in fear for her life but left with supernatural favor. She came with poverty but left with prosperity. She came in despair but left highly favored. She came representing a people who were marked for destruction and left the king’s presence with a way of escape for her Jewish people.
The Anointing of God
By Dr. Mike Evans
Samuel was dispatched by God to the house of Jesse to anoint one of his sons to become king in place of Saul. As each stood before the high priest, Jesse wondered: Would it be the tall, handsome one? Would it be the most skillful one? Would it be the son considered to be a warrior?
Seven Times What Was Stolen
By Dr. Mike Evans
One Sunday morning at church, a man approached me and introduced himself. His name was Ray. After we had chatted for a few minutes, Ray, who seemed like a very godly man, said the Lord had impressed him to ask me for help. He needed to borrow $32,500 for one week. He offered to give me a post-dated check, which I was to deposit at the specified time. Wanting to help a brother in need and not taking time to pray about it, I agreed to help him.
Wait for God to Work
By Dr. Mike Evans
Abram was living in Ur of the Chaldeans when God called him forth. Shortly after his very first conversation with the Creator, his father gathered the family together—Abram, Sarai, and Lot, his grandson—and started out for Canaan. When they reached Haran, however, the family settled. Sometime after his father’s death, Abram gathered his family and crossed the Euphrates River, making their way down to Canaan.
