” I heard the Muslim leader say...


During more than 45 years of serving God, I have seen the Enemy launch many attacks. More than 20 years ago, I saw God do something mighty to overcome the attacks of Satan against His work. I am sharing this with you today because we are facing a new attack—and it is serious. We need to see God work in a great and powerful way right now. Let me share this story with you to encourage and strengthen your faith:

Mike Evans praying
Mike Evans

In 1994, during the massive genocide in Rwanda, God directed me to go to the neighboring nation of Congo to hold a mass evangelistic event. When I arrived, I learned that thousands of Believers were praying. En route to join their meeting and thank them, I made my way through a crowd who opposed what we were trying to do. As I walked through the darkness, I heard a Muslim leader say, "You will have five days to kill Mike Evans. Get big stones. We will stone him or shoot him, but do not eat any food until he is dead."

As I stood on the platform to preach, I saw witch doctors with large dolls sporting huge hands and feet. One was sticking pins in an effigy when I suddenly realized it was supposed to be me. I quietly moved away from the crowd, hoping no one would realize that I was there. The demons of hell were raging, but God was greater. One night as the witch doctors were sticking pins into the dolls, I stopped in the middle of my sermon and commanded them to stick the needles deeper and call on their false gods. I vowed to call on the one true God. As the test continued, the power of God fell on them, and the witch doctors hit the dirt screaming. They slithered like snakes as demon spirits were leaving them.

Miracles happened spontaneously throughout the crusade. The blind were seeing; the deaf were hearing; the crippled were walking. There were so many miracles that the president of the country decided to turn the Voice of The Congo, the national television station, over to us for the daily evening news. That station broadcast across Rwanda as we proclaimed the Gospel nightly as well as delivering the news. We called it the "Good News" and invited people who had been healed and delivered by the power of God to give their testimony.

Ten thousand pastors, many of whom had walked for days, came to the Peoples' Palace in the capital for our five-day School of Evangelism. More than 650,000 came to the crusades at night. A tremendous number of people not only came to Christ, but were called into the ministry. They are now preaching the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ all over central Africa.

The Bible says, "Arise and shine for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you. Darkness shall cover the deep and gross darkness the people, but the Lord shall arise upon thee" (Isaiah 60:1). Today I'm asking you to rise up and shine a light for the nation of Israel. It is time for those of us who love Israel and God's Chosen People to stand up in their defense.

Pablo reprende a Pedro

Pero cuando Pedro vino a Antioquía, le resistí cara a cara, porque era de condenar. Pues antes que viniesen algunos de parte de Jacobo, comía con los gentiles; pero después que vinieron, se retraía y se apartaba, porque tenía miedo de los de la circuncisión. Y en su simulación participaban también los otros judíos, de tal manera que aun Bernabé fue también arrastrado por la hipocresía de ellos. Pero cuando vi que no andaban rectamente conforme a la verdad del evangelio, dije a Pedro delante de todos: Si tú, siendo judío, vives como los gentiles y no como judío, ¿por qué obligas a los gentiles a judaizar? Nosotros, judíos de nacimiento, y no pecadores de entre los gentiles, sabiendo que el hombre no es justificado por las obras de la ley, sino por la fe de Jesucristo, nosotros también hemos creído en Jesucristo, para ser justificados por la fe de Cristo y no por las obras de la ley, por cuanto por las obras de la ley nadie será justificado. Y si buscando ser justificados en Cristo, tamb...

El quebrantamiento de Pedro

If you are unable to see the message below, click here to view .     Leer | Lucas 22.54-62 11 de noviembre de 2014 El orgullo de Pedro era un obstáculo para los propósitos de Dios. Cristo buscaba a un siervo-líder para que guiara a los creyentes una vez que Él regresara al cielo. El antiguo pescador era un impulsivo sabelotodo, pero el Señor vio su potencial a pesar de su arrogancia. Por eso, el gran Artesano utilizó una filosa herramienta —la humillación— para quebrantarlo. Cuando las palabras del Señor estuvieron en conflicto con la opinión de Pedro, el discípulo reprendió temerariamente a Jesús. El Salvador respondió con una virulenta reprimenda, tanto para silenciar como para enseñar ( Mt 16.21-23 ; Jn 13.5-8 ). Inclusive, Pedro incumplió su promesa de morir por el Señor cuando lo negó tres veces ...
