Standing with Israel Against the World

Dear Friend,

I’m Dr. Mike Evans, head of the Jerusalem Prayer Team and founder and CEO of the Friends of Zion Museum in Jerusalem. We are the largest group of praying Believers in the world dedicated to comforting God’s Chosen People and combating anti-Semitism.

I recently returned from my seventh trip to Israel since the Hamas invasion last October. I was taken to see a 45-foot-long section of one of the more than 60 ballistic missiles Iran fired at Israel. I cut my leg on it, but I’m doing just fine.

While I was in Jerusalem praying, the Lord gave me a word for your life.

In light of what is happening right now in Israel, this is vitally important. Iran’s direct attack on Israel presents a new level of threat never seen before. As bad as the war that’s been going on for more than seven months has been — and it has been devastating to Israel — what lies ahead could be much worse. 

And the problem is not just on the battlefield.

From the United Nations to the International Criminal Court and in other international organizations, moves are being made against Israel. The Jewish state is largely isolated as they fight to survive, and we must not leave them alone. 

They need to know that you are standing with them, and that’s why I’m writing to you today with a powerful word from the Lord that I have received in the Holy City.

I urge you to read this very carefully because as I have learned in my own life, one word from God can change your life forever.

It is not by accident or coincidence that as a beloved Jerusalem Prayer Team member, you are part of the largest prayer movement in history supporting the nation of Israel and the Jewish people. God brought us together “for such a time as this.”

The physical war makes the headlines, but you and I are fighting a spirit war that is being waged against Israel by principalities and powers. I’m reminded of Daniel 11:32: “The people who know their God shall be strong, and carry out great exploits.”

The entire world is turning its back on the State of Israel and its new government, and that means it is time for us to do great exploits for God and His Chosen People.

I prophesied over Benjamin Netanyahu on the 4th of July in 1980 that he’d be the prime minister of Israel. I told the prophecy to Prime Minister Menachem Begin on the 5th of July. I asked him to give Netanyahu a job in the government, and he did. Netanyahu has the most Bible-based government in my lifetime and because of it, the entire world is in a rage. 

The last time he called me for prayer was at 3:15 in the morning. I was in the middle of a dream that he needed prayer, and my cell phone was ringing. I opened my eyes, and the phone was ringing, and it was my friend calling for prayer.

The United Nations has adopted 99 resolutions against Israel, 41 against Syria, 13 against Iran, and 4 against Russia from 2006-2022. 

Last year’s UN resolution, which was supported by the vast majority of the countries of the world, declared Israel an apartheid state guilty of war crimes, stated that the Golan Heights overlooking the Galilee is occupied territory, and that Judea and Samaria are occupied territories. It also claimed that Israel’s historic capital of Jerusalem is occupied territory.

The U.N. Security Council approved a resolution calling for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza without calling for Hamas to release the hostages they still hold. 

The United States could have stopped this, but the Biden Administration refused to use our veto power. Senator Charles Schumer publicly called for the Netanyahu government to be overthrown, and President Biden called it a “good speech.”

To make matters worse, the Biden administration is sending messages to Israel expressing that the U.S. does not support Israel doing what is necessary to eradicate the threat posed by Hamas. Instead of telling Israel we will help them win the war, our government is telling Israel to deliver more food to the people who want to destroy the Jewish state and the Jewish people. It’s an outrage.

The Biden Administration is telling Israel to stop the fighting in Gaza without going into Rafah…or else! Rafah is where the surviving hostages are being held. Rafah is where four battalions of Hamas fighters are hiding. Yet Israel is being told to let them survive…so that they can continue to attack innocent Jewish people.

Colleges and universities across America are on fire as students and faculty rally to support Hamas. The chants are demonic. “Make us proud! Kill another soldier now!” “Remember October 7th! It will happen not one more time or five more times, but 10,000 more times!” 

They hold up signs in support of terrorist organizations such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) and Hezbollah, screaming, “Globalize the Intifada. We will never let up or let down until Zionism is destroyed and the Zionists start to hide like Nazis!”

They chant slogans like, “Say it loud, say it clear, we don’t want no Zionists here. From the river to the sea, Palestine is all you’ll see. Jews go back to Poland.”

Everything we’re talking about can be understood from the prophet Isaiah who said in Isaiah 14:9-15:

          “Hell from beneath is excited about you,

          To meet you at your coming;

          It stirs up the dead for you,

          All the chief ones of the earth;

          It has raised up from their thrones

          All the kings of the nations.

          They all shall speak and say to you:

          ‘Have you also become as weak as we?

          Have you become like us?

          Your pomp is brought down to Sheol,

          And the sound of your stringed instruments;

          The maggot is spread under you,

          And worms cover you.’

          “How you are fallen from heaven,

          O Lucifer, son of the morning!

          How you are cut down to the ground,

          You who weakened the nations!

          For you have said in your heart:

          ‘I will ascend into heaven,

          I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;

          I will also sit on the mount of the congregation

          On the farthest sides of the north;

          I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,

          I will be like the Most High.’

          Yet you shall be brought down to Sheol,

          To the lowest depths of the Pit.

Isaiah is describing a spiritual battle that centers on the Temple Mount, which is 600 meters from your Friends of Zion Center. 

Your Jerusalem Prayer Team played a key role in the U.S. government’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the Golan Heights recognition, and much more. I was personally told this by Vice President Mike Pence in the White House. He said that there was no evangelical ministry that influenced President Trump more than we did.

We hosted the official gala before the dedication of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem with Sen. Lindsey Graham, Sen. Ted Cruz, Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump, and U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman. I spoke at the event and was invited into a private meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump, and Ambassador Friedman right after the embassy dedication.

Now things have changed dramatically. 

The Biden Administration’s refusal to support Israel fully and the United Nations’ plan to force the creation of a Palestinian state are a curse on God’s Chosen People. My dear friend and partner, Genesis 12:3 is still in the Bible. It is as true today as it was thousands of years ago: “I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee.”

Every nation that has lifted up its hand against the Jewish people and the nation of Israel throughout history was cursed by God. 

Many countries that were once great powers are now in the dustbin of history. I don’t want that to happen to America. If the Biden Administration and U.N. plans go into effect, the judgment that falls will be more severe than anything we’ve seen in our lifetime.

Daniel 12:3 says, “And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.” There’s no doubt in my mind where you stand. It’s time for us to shine.

I will be going back to Israel shortly to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu and speak to the nation. I must let Prime Minister Netanyahu, his wartime government, and the state of Israel know that Bible-believing Americans are behind them. Silence on our part will be interpreted as support for the demonic plans of the liberal left to weaken and eventually destroy Israel.

When David beheld the dilemma that Israel faced from the giant Goliath, he stood up and spoke boldly. He declared, “Is there not a cause?” Jeremiah stood up against principalities and powers in the days of Babylon’s invasion declaring the word of the Lord. Daniel did the same thing when he was taken hostage to Babylon.

You and I have come into the kingdom for such a time as this. I want to come back to Israel very soon with your name in my hand. I want to place your name in Prime Minister Netanyahu’s hand, letting him know that as for you and your house, you will serve the Lord and stand by the Jewish people in the state of Israel.

I believe with all my heart that demonic principalities and powers are going to keep trying everything they can to destroy the state of Israel. But I also believe that if you and I speak up and stand up that this curse can be reversed, and the victory can be won.

There’s no doubt in my mind that what COVID did to America was a curse. It was a plague. It was very much like what was described by King Solomon in 1 Kings 8:35-38. There’s nothing more that could bring the judgment of God on America than God’s people being silent in face of this unholy alliance between the present U.S. administration and the U.N. against Israel.

That’s why I’m asking you to sign the enclosed proclamation to declare your support for Israel that I will present to the state of Israel and to Prime Minister Netanyahu. They need to know they’re not alone in this battle.

I’m asking you to send a generous financial gift as well. Your support makes it possible for us to continue this great global prayer movement. Your support is also helping widows and orphans, those who are still homeless from both the north and south, wounded IDF soldiers, families of the hostages, terrified and impoverished Holocaust survivors, and so much more. It will also help us fight back against the lies about Israel being told on college and university campuses.

Your love and support make all of this possible. Now more than ever, we must stand with and for the Jewish people and the nation of Israel. Please do your best with your gift today. 

If you are able to send a gift of $60 or more, I want to send you a leather-bound copy of my daily devotional I Shall Not Want. This is not just something I wrote…it’s the devotional on my nightstand that I use every day. I read it and pray through it…and I’m inviting you to join me on this journey of faith this year.

I am praying that some friends will be able to send $500 or even $5,000. Together we are doing a great work for God, and it is only because of great partners like you that we are able to continue.

Your name and your face are before our holy God. I know what He’s going to say when He sees you. “Well done, thou good and faithful servant. Enter into the joy of the Lord.” Thank you so much for being part of this great worldwide prayer movement in defense of Israel and the Jewish people.

P.S. Please remember to add your name to the proclamation below to Prime Minister Netanyahu and the State of Israel when you make your gift. I will place your name in his hands to let the people of Israel know that they are not alone, and that the UN and the leftist Biden Administration does not speak for you. Do not be silent in the face of this great threat.

Do Not Be Silent!

With much of the world united in their condemnation of Israel, it is more important than ever that those of us who love God’s Chosen People make our voices heard. Your support of the Jerusalem Prayer Team lets the Jewish people know that they are not alone, and it makes possible the wonderful humanitarian outreaches we are carrying out in Israel. 

Please be as generous as you can when you make your gift today.

YES, Dr. Evans, I want to do my part to defend Israel and help meet the urgent needs of God’s Chosen People. My special gift for the Jerusalem Prayer Team is:
