Release your faith in the Word of the Lord

Dear Friend,

Prime Minister Netanyahu has flown to the U.S. to meet with the president and contacted me and asked me if I would meet with him. It must thrill your heart to know the seeds you are sowing are bringing such a Great Harvest that an entire nation is calling you Blessed.

When we announced plans for the Ambassador Summit in Israel, a lot of pastors thought it was a joke. I lost track of how many pastors told me it was impossible. And in the natural, they were right.

There is no human reason for more than 1,000 pastors and leaders to go to Israel just before Christmas. There is no human reason for the security situation to calm down enough to make it possible for us to meet in such a large group where there has been so much conflict. There is no human reason that the attacks launched by the critics and Jew-haters — and there were a LOT of attacks — should fail to derail the project.

And there certainly is no human reason for the government of Israel to partner with a Christian ministry, who wanted to fulfill the last command of Jesus on earth, ”You shall be a witness unto Me in Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria.”

While there is no human reason that could explain this, you and I know exactly how and why it happened. It was the favor of God.

God told me to do it. So we did. And He made the impossible happen. That is what the favor of God does. We did not receive that favor because we are so great, but because He is.

God has promised to move heaven and earth for those who are in hot pursuit after Him. And the promises of God are the fuel for the engine of God’s work. They’re the currency of heaven. And the promises of God are saying, “Wake up the mighty men. Wake up the mighty women.” The promises of God will take you out of darkness into His marvelous light. And they all have specific assignments.

And what I want to tell you today is that the same favor, blessing, and divine help that made the Ambassador Summit such a huge success is available to you. I want to encourage you to listen for the voice of God speaking in your life…and then do what He says, whether it is possible or not!

One word from God can change your life forever. Elisha saw the favor of God on Elijah. He saw the anointing on Elijah, he saw the commanded blessing on Elijah, and he wanted it. And he released his faith that he would not only receive it, but receive a double portion. And God honored his faith and gave it to him. 

I want you to release your faith in the word of the Lord that God has given me for you. I want you to write me back and tell me you have received it, that you have set yourself in agreement with it and will declare it your active faith. I want you to activate this life-changing promise. The reason I know it can change your life is that it happened to me.

Never in history have 1,000 pastors sang “Amazing Grace” to former hostages in a field where there was a massacre. Never in history have 1,000 pastors put the names of those massacred in the cracks of the Kotel Prayer Wall in Jerusalem and prayed for their families. Never in history have 1,000 pastors gone to the graveside of the soldiers killed since the October 7 massacre with their widows, putting flowers and flags on the graves and praying for the families. 

In the spring of 1980, I was suffering unspeakable post-traumatic stress from childhood abuse from my Jew hating father. I was experiencing panic attacks, a rapid heart rate, and was even hospitalized in a cardiology ward. I had developed a rare neurological condition that put my neck into spasms 24 hours a day. I was completely broken, physically and emotionally. I opened my Bible and read this scripture. ”Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it? I am making a way in the wilderness and streams in the wasteland” (Isaiah 43:18-19).

I was instructed by the Holy Spirit on the 13th of June 1980 to go to Jerusalem and meet with then-Prime Minister Menachem Begin.  

That word sent me to Jerusalem with an assignment. When I met with Menachem Begin on the 30th of June 1980, I told him, “God sent me.” He asked me, “What did he send you for?” When I said I didn’t know, he looked at me and told his chief of staff to shake my hand, saying, “You have finally met an honest man. He believes God sent him, but he doesn’t know why.”

On the 4th of July, I went to the home of a 28-year-old young man, who was grieving his brother’s death. His brother, Yoni Netanyahu, saved hostages in a rescue raid in Entebbe, Uganda. I put my hands upon Benjamin and gave him a word from the Lord. I told him, “Jonathan loved Benjamin. You loved Jonathan. Out of your despair will come strength from God, and you will be the prime minister of Israel.”

The next day on the 5th of July, I met with Menachem Begin again. I told him I met the prime minister yesterday. He said, “No, you met me on the 30th of June.” I said, “It’s not you, it’s Benjamin Netanyahu. Give him a job in the government.” He did. His life changed, and my life changed, and the world changed due to obedience to a word from the Lord.

I met with the prime minister again while I was in Israel last month. My friend of more than 45 years now asked me to let you know how very much he and his people appreciate what we are doing on their behalf. And the best is yet to come — not just for Israel or for our ministry, but for you. I told him God chose him, and I am telling you the same thing…God chose you to be my partner.

I want you to release your faith and receive the word of the Lord. I want you to tell me that you’re setting yourself in agreement with me and with God’s promise that the Lord will do mighty things for you this year. Things that your eyes have not seen, that your ears have not heard, that have not even entered into your heart will be done in the magnificent name of the Lord.

You can experience that same kind of transformation, and I am believing God that 2026 will be a year of God’s favor and blessing like nothing you have ever experienced before.

When you activate His promises, it enables you to thrive in the fire. Shake off the serpents. Move the mountains. See the invisible. Embrace the impossible. Hope for the incredible. And you never focus on what you’re going through. You only focus on what you’re going to.

Today I want to challenge you to take a step of faith. In the prayer section below, please add the five most important areas where you need God’s favor. Whatever it is, whether physical, financial, spiritual, mental, relational or something else, write it down and send it to me.

I am making you a holy promise today. Every day of this year when I go to my office, I will put my hands on your requests and pray God’s favor over your life. I’m not talking about just once or twice, but every day for an entire year.

I believe you are going to see great things from God!

How can I say that so confidently? I say it because Genesis 12:3 is still true. God is using our work in a great and mighty way. Friends of Zion has become the brightest light of Christian love the nation of Israel has ever seen in its modern existence. But we can’t do it without your help.

Your support of Friends of Zion made it possible for us to launch the Ambassador Program. And we have huge plans for the year ahead. By this time in 2027, we believe there will be thousands of new ambassadors using their voices in support and defense of Israel.

Your support of Friends of Zion makes it possible for us to continue to comfort the people of Israel who have lost so much, providing food, medicine, clothing, and other necessities of life for the poor Holocaust survivors and refugees who have no home. Please be as generous as you can when you send your gift.

God has given me a gift. It’s the gift of faith. I see things in the spirit before they happen. I see in the spirit. God will bless you supernaturally and reverse every curse this year and open the windows of heaven on a blessing that you have to claim.

Jesus came up to Jerusalem on all the holy days and presented a whole offering to move the hand of God and turn His head. Luke 2:52 says it this way: Jesus increased in favor with God and with Man. You will as well. I declare it in Jesus’ Mighty Name.

To help you claim that blessing, when you send your gift of support, you’ll receive a copy of one of my most popular and requested books, Living in the F.O.G (Favor of God). In it, I lay out the steps you can take to begin living in His favor on a daily basis. I know this book will help you claim God’s blessing on your life.

Thank you for being my friend and partner. The impact you are making on the nation of Israel is huge. The needs are great, and the threats are urgent, and we must not stop doing all we can to show the Jewish people true Christian love in action. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Your ambassador to Jerusalem,

Dr. Mike Evans

P.S. When I pray for you, I’ll be asking that God will not only reverse the curse but give you the same kind of supernatural anointing, blessing, and favor that changed my life. This favor is not just for you, but it will extend to every member of your family. Please remember to include your greatest prayer needs when you send your generous gift for Friends of Zion today. God bless you.
