In your State of the Union address, you said, “Most people in Gaza are not Hamas.” You’re wrong. Most people in Gaza are Hamas. The Palestinians in Gaza voted Hamas into power 17 years ago, and during the last 17 years, Hamas has instituted the most antisemitic educational system on the planet, teaching the children that Jews are born with tails and horns and are the seed of Satan and that the greatest honor in life is to kill a Jew.
One example is a book that IDF soldiers found in a home in the Alfarkan region of Gaza called “The End of the Jews” written by Hamas co-founder and former PA foreign minister Mahmoud al-Zahar. The book’s cover shows swords and daggers piercing through Stars of David, and Jews drowning in blood. The book mainly hails that first of all, we should not recognize the fact that there are Jews and Jewish people, but most predominantly it hails the Holocaust, embraces what the Nazis have done, and calls for nations to follow what the Nazis have done.
You also said, “The last five months have been gut-wrenching for the Israeli people and the Palestinian people.” President Biden, how is it possible that you could form a moral equivalency between Jew-hating, October 7-celebrating Gazans and innocent Jewish people in Israel? Your words are not helping Israel win the war; they’re helping Hamas.
Hamas is already winning the media war. Every lie they release to the media is reported as truth. To criticize Israel during their 9/11 war is outrageous. How many times did Israel criticize America when it was fighting its 9/11 war in the Middle East? The answer is never. They did just the opposite. They showed unconditional support for the United States. Now, sending a signal that there is daylight between the U.S. and Israel will not help in the release of the Israeli hostages. It will do the opposite.
Radical Islamic terrorists only step back when they fear us. Sending a signal of sympathy towards them does not achieve that objective at all. If America surrenders to radical Islam, then a fanatical, dictatorial fascist Islamic State with 80 million people will have an atomic bomb and most likely a nuclear umbrella of Russian planes flying over Iranian airspace. Iran has already made it very clear what they intend to do with that atomic bomb: to wipe Israel off the map.
You scolded Israel, saying they must allow more aid into Gaza and ensure humanitarian workers aren’t caught in the crossfire. Tell that to the humanitarian workers in the hospitals that were embedded with Hamas terrorists, or the U.N. “humanitarian workers” who were involved in the October 7th attacks. Tell that to the Israeli hostages who are starving to death. Only God knows what Hamas is doing to them in those tunnels as the U.S. military is airlifting aid into Gaza knowing full well that a lot of that aid will end up in the hands of Hamas terrorists as does the aid you’re also sending the U.S. military to provide.
You refused to support a bill that would provide $17.6 billion of aid to Israel, and yet you lobbied for a bill that gives over three times that amount, $60 billion, to Ukraine. You said that the solution is a state for the Palestinians so they can live in peace and dignity. So, when have the Jews in Israel lived in peace and dignity since the Palestinians began demanding a state? Would you tell it to the families that had been blown up by suicide bombers? Are you forgetting the Palestinian state myth was created by the terrorist Arafat and his terrorist organization the PLO?
You said there’s no other path that guarantees peace between Israel and its neighbors. President Biden, you’re wrong. The Abraham Accords came about despite the Palestinians. Once Saudi Arabia makes peace with Israel, the Palestinians are going to be hard-pressed to fund their terror business anymore. The Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia Mohammed bin Salman said in a private meeting I was at, “The Palestinians should not be fighting Israel; they should be copying Israel.”
You said, “Israel has a fundamental responsibility to protect innocent civilians in Gaza,” but how about protecting innocent civilians in Israel? Does Israel have the right to protect innocent civilians? And how in heaven’s name can they do that if a terror organization is allowed to survive and thrive? You were even caught off the record with a hot mic in the House of Representatives saying that Netanyahu needs a “come to Jesus” meeting on the issue of humanitarian aid for Gaza. You attack Israel over human rights. Mr. President, fighting terrorists is a human right. Hamas is a proxy of Iran. They were funded by Iran, and many of them were trained there.
Israel is facing an existential threat from Iran and its proxies. Your rhetoric to the State of Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu is just like what came out of the mouth of Neville Chamberlain on the 13th of September 1938, when he ceded the German-speaking Sunderland region of Czechoslovakia to Hitler’s Nazi Germany.

During his State of the Union Address, President Joe Biden announced plans for the U.S. to build a floating harbor in Gaza, which would be used to distribute food and other humanitarian aid. He condemned Israel for the situation on the ground and uncritically used vastly inflated casualty figures distributed by Hamas in the process. While it is true that the humanitarian crisis in Gaza is severe, it is not true that Israel is to blame for it. The fault for that lies directly on the Hamas terrorists who are carrying out their orders from Iran. One reporter called the State of the Union speech “the most anti-Israel presidential speech in history.”
In addition, a British newspaper reported that the Biden Administration is working behind the scenes to try to force the collapse of the government led by Prime Minister Netanyahu. They hope to see him replaced with someone who will not prosecute the war against Hamas with such intensity. The Biden Administration continues to hold Rafah, the city in southern Gaza where Hamas terrorists have regrouped as off limits for a ground invasion, even referring to it as a “red line” that Israel must not cross. Israel has so far rejected any outside nation placing restrictions on how they fight to eradicate Hamas and defend themselves, but they are under increasing pressure to hold back.
The United States has been a friend and help to the Jewish people, even long before the nation of Israel was miraculously reborn in 1948. President Harry Truman was the first foreign leader to recognize the new Jewish state when they declared independence. For more than 75 years now, America has been a staunch friend and ally of Israel. And Israel has been America’s most reliable ally in the Middle East in return. Now U.S. support for Israel is hanging in the balance. Where will America stand? It is up to us to pray and speak out to ensure that we do not turn our backs on God’s Chosen People in this crisis moment.

The evangelist Dwight L. Moody once said, “Faith that fizzles in the finish has a flaw in the beginning.” For many Christians, faith is a concept, not a reality. It is easier for them to talk about faith than to walk by it, but the Bible says it is impossible to please God without faith. What kind of faith pleases the Lord? Faith that can be tested and can be stretched…mountain-moving faith!
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:22-23).
To survive in today’s world, you need faith—but the right kind of faith. Not flawed faith that “fizzles in the end.” That isn’t really faith at all, is it? Hebrews 11:1 says, “Now faith is the assurance (the confirmation, the title deed) of the things we hope for, being the proof of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality—faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses” (Amplified).
Romans 12:3 says, “…God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith.” You have received a measure of faith! If you want to develop your faith, you have to exercise it. What does that mean? “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Romans 10:17). Can you develop your faith simply by going to church and listening to good preaching? Yes, you can increase your faith that way. But relying solely on your sense of hearing will not turn your faith into mountain-moving faith. You must hear the Word of God with your heart!
Hearing the Word of God is not the same as listening to it. Hearing goes beyond the physical act. It engages the heart—and it begins, not with the ear, but with the eye. If you want to develop mountain-moving faith, you must be in the Word every day. You must read it and let God speak to you through it. From there, you begin to latch onto truths that impact you, and you step out in faith.

When Carolyn and I started out in our ministry, we had almost nothing. But we believed in what God wanted us to do. We were working with Jewish young people who were struggling with addiction and other issues. Many of them came from New York, and God began to burden my heart to work with them there rather than waiting for them to come to Texas. I went home one day and told Carolyn, “God has told me to buy a training center in New York City to assist Jewish kids coming off of drugs. I believe it will cost a million dollars, and I don’t know where we will get the money.”
Our total income the year before was $4,500. When I said I had no idea where the money would come from, I meant it. I didn’t have any resources. We were barely surviving. But we were happy in serving the Lord!
Our oldest daughter Michelle was five years old. She heard this conversation, and she said, “Daddy, I’ve got a million dollars in my piggy bank.” She went to her room and came back with her little bank. “I will give you the money. It’s here in my piggy bank!” I had tears in my eyes as we broke that bank open and counted out what was inside. It was $3.26.
Faith rose up in my heart. I took that money to the bank and opened an account to buy the training center. The teller asked me if I were crazy. He thought I had mental problems. I told him what God was going to do, and he laughed. He assured me the money would not be coming in. “You can’t pray money in, Reverend. You need to see a counselor!”
Every day I went to our center in Texas and prayed and fasted for a miracle. Sixteen weeks later, we deposited the final funds in the bank to reach the total of one million dollars so we could buy the building we needed. The banker apologized to me, but I knew the real secret. Michelle’s holy offering-her childish act of faith and Radical Generosity-had touched the heart of God and moved His hand to action.
Through the years, I have seen God richly bless those who have given generously to His work. When we give, we are not meeting a need God has. Everything already belongs to Him. When we give, we are expressing our faith. When we cling to everything we have, it really says that we do not trust God to meet our needs. A hoarding heart robs the owner of the opportunity to see God’s power displayed. It is only when we open our wallets and our hearts…both are vital…that we put ourselves in position to see God do things that are impossible to explain apart from His power.

Who is on the throne of your life? Many Believers would automatically reply, “God.” But is that really true? Men of integrity and honor, who dare to speak out against sin, too often become targets for egotistical men who place themselves above the will and call of God.
Is your heart a place devoted only to God, or has He been crowded out by worldly endeavors and enticements? Too often we begin our walk with Him filled with good intentions; we petition God wholeheartedly to occupy the first place in our lives, but eventually, the world begins to intrude. Our focus shifts to jobs, friends, or our family. These are all essential parts of life, but just remember that Jesus said, “But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” (See Matthew 6:33, NKJV.) If your priorities are in order, your motivation will be about pleasing God, putting Him first and foremost in your life, and then He will add His blessings.
We can’t limit Jesus to our timetable; we have to get on His. God is not going to consult with us to determine His plan or purpose in our lives. It’s our responsibility to determine if we are in His will. We have not taken over the world, because we have not been with Jesus. God has drawn the battle line and is sending angels on assignments to gather saints who are hungry and thirsty for Jesus.
In general, today’s Christians have no sense of destiny. But if we discover Christ within us, the hope of glory, we will be more excited about the Christian life than anything the world has to offer. (See Colossians 1:27, KJV.) Such enthusiasm kills inferiority, destroys the paralysis of the past, and gives a brilliant view of eternity. When Christ resides in His rightful dwelling place on earth, the heavens will open for the one in whom He dwells.
We have, leading the way for us, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah to consume the Enemy of our souls. He is in full battle gear and demons are trembling. He is clothed with the robe of righteousness and His eyes are as a flame of fire. He upholds all things by the word of His power. (See Hebrews 1:3.)
When we become convinced that this Christ dwells within in us, we will be a power that causes the enemies of the cross to quake and cower. When we’re gripped with a sense of the destiny of Christ’s mission and His present-day ministry, we will want to see it being operational in our lives. Who on earth has a greater sense of destiny or a greater plan than the Lord Jesus Christ? When we allow the “Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world” to function through us, it will completely change our outlook.

This week the government announced that it may be September—another eight months—before the refugees forced to leave their homes near the Gaza border will be able to return. These precious people have lost so much, and some of them are staying at your Friends of Zion Center. There are tens of thousands of people still living as refugees because it is not safe for them to go home. And that isn’t going to change any time soon, so that means we must keep doing all we can to help.
