Jesus did not hide the fact from the disciples that they would have trouble in the world because of their belief in Him. We find one of these warnings in John 15: 18 “If the world hates you, you know that it hated Me before it hated you. 19 If you were of the world, the world would love its […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/30/2025….Power of the Gospel
We find these words in Acts 5: 14 And believers were increasingly added to the Lord, multitudes of both men and women,15 so that they brought the sick out into the streets and laid them on beds and couches, that at least the shadow of Peter passing by might fall on some of them.16 Also a multitude gathered from the […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…5/20/2025….”They Realized They Had Been With Jesus”
It is hard to argue with cold hard facts. More and more we are seeing how our Heavenly Father is intervening in some of the most intense situations in order to reach deep into the hearts of the spiritually blind. Today’s episodes will once again show the love of God for the lost. 13 Now when they saw the boldness […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/16/2025….”The Power of the Word of GOD”
Anyone who has read the Mideast Updates in the past weeks will realize that the powerful work of the Holy Spirit working through God’s people has escalated. We may not see much of it in the West, but it is definitely happening in third world nations. God is not willing that any perish and He will use anyone willing to […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/8/2025….”Unexpected Interventions”
As has been the case so many times, in the midst of great times of reaching people with the Good News of the Gospel, tragedy strikes. I received reports of two such incidents in the last few days. The first happened in the Sweida region. Several of the teachers and students were attacked and severely beaten. The second was near […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/6/2025….”A Table in the Presence of the Enemy”
I apologize this update is coming out at the last minute and without proper editing. Some of you may be aware that there some severe attacks in the last couple days on the House of Blessing. I don’t have all the details yet but two groups of teachers and their students were severely attacked. A few of those who pray […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….5/1/2025….”Water From A Dead Well”
Those who have read the Mideast Updates for any length of time are well aware that God will quite often intervene in supernatural ways. We serve a God who has no limits. He is not like us! Many people are confused by the fact that the Bible teaches us that God is one God and there is none other like […]
MIDEAST UPDATE…4/26/2025…”Even Angels Don’t Fully Understand”
As I was thinking about how to write today’s update, I reviewed reports of the past few weeks coming from the Middle East. Then I read in 1 Peter the following: 12 …And now at last this Good News has been plainly announced to all of us. It was preached to us in the power of the same heaven-sent Holy […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….4/22/2025….”The Search For Truth”
One of the most iconic questions of all time was when Jesus was being interrogated by Pontus Pilate. Jesus had just said to him, “Everyone who is of the truth hears My voice.” Pilate then asked him, rather sarcastically, “What is truth?” That is a good question today as well. Jesus had warned of deception many times. In our world, […]
MIDEAST UPDATE….4/16/2025….”Who Rules The Universe?”
As I contemplated how I would begin today’s update, I thought of some of the testimonies we have received, and how some readers in the West find the accounts hard to believe. To some, the stories of the miraculous experienced by believers in the Middle East seem over the top. I suppose there are those who wonder if these accounts […]
