Hanukkah celebrates the miraculous victory of the small Jewish nation over the mighty Greek army. This was the first war in history to be fought not for land or power, but for the sake of religious ideals. The Greeks sought to "enlighten" the Jewish people by severing their ties to the Torah and forcefully prohibiting biblical commandments. Today, the modern nation of Israel faces new enemies who seek to sever the Jewish nation's biblical connection to Judea. “People need to understand that when the media says ‘Israeli occupied territory’, the ‘West bank’, ‘Palestine’ and ‘Settlement’ they are talking about Israel’s Biblical heartland and ancient prophecy,” says David Rubin, author and founder of the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund. Rubin's new book, “God, Israel, & Shiloh,” takes you on a trip with the Children of Israel from the Exodus to the rebuilding of modern Shiloh, the first capital of ancient Israel, and Jerusalem. It will open your eyes to significance of Judea, the Biblical heartland.

Land of the Giants by Elaine Tavolacci

Land of the Giants 

by Elaine Tavolacci

Identity Network

There is a story in the book of Numbers when the Lord told Moses to send twelve men, one from each of the twelve tribes of Israel to spy out the land of Canaan, which is also known as the Promised Land. Ten out of the twelve spies came back with a bad report because they had seen the giants in the land. These are the same men who had experienced great miracles when the Lord recently gave them a cloud by day, a fire by night, manna from heaven, and He miraculously provided for them for forty years in the wilderness. 

He also parted the Red Sea for them and six million of them walked through the sea on dry ground while He destroyed their enemies. When they went into Canaan to spy out the land, they were looking at the giants rather than remembering all that the Lord had done for them. They returned to Moses with a cluster of grapes that was so huge, that it took two men to carry, but they also returned with a bad report saying that the land surely does flow with milk and honey but the giants are too large for us to conquer. They also said, "We were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
The Lord is showing me that many of you are facing giants in your lives and you see yourself as grasshoppers rather than conquerors. You recognize that the land ahead of you is flowing with milk and honey, but your focus is on the giants. Jesus gave you a promise but you are not trusting Him for the provision. Many of you are standing on the brink of Canaan and Jesus has done so much in your life but now you are afraid to pursue His plans because you came up against some giants. 

No matter how impossible your situation looks, your future destination is not determined by your present situation. For some of you it is sickness. You may have even been diagnosed with an incurable disease in the natural, but we serve a God of the supernatural. For some of you it is financial difficulties and for others it is family situations. Two of the twelve spies Joshua and Caleb didn't deny that there were giants in the land, but they came back with a different report. They said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it." 

The Lord said in Numbers 14: 24 But My servant Caleb, because he has a different spirit in him and has followed Me fully, I will bring into the land where he went, and his descendants shall inherit it. As Spirit fill believers, we are not limited to our senses, by our physical conditions or by our present situations, but we could stand on Gods promises. Fear looks at the giants, but faith looks at the promises.
You are not Inadequate
The Lord is saying not to allow the enemy to magnify the situations in your life, and don't look at the giants as unconquerable. Do not see yourself as inadequate but know that with Jesus you are able to take on any assignment that He has called you to. Go forth as Joshua and Caleb knowing that you are well able to possess this land. Go forth in what He has commissioned you to do. Never forget that that as a believer, through Jesus you have a better covenant, which was established on better promises.
Numbers 13:27-33 Then they told him, and said: "We went to the land where you sent us. It truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless the people who dwell in the land are strong; the cities are fortified and very large; moreover we saw the descendants of Anak there. The Amalekites dwell in the land of the South; the Hittites, the Jebusites, and the Amorites dwell in the mountains; and the Canaanites dwell by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan." Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses, and said, "Let us go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it." 

But the men who had gone up with him said, "We are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than we." And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land which they had spied out, saying, "The land through which we have gone as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, and all the people whom we saw in it are men of great stature. There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight."
Numbers 13:33 There we saw the giants (the descendants of Anak came from the giants); and we were like grasshoppers in our own sight, and so we were in their sight.
Numbers 13:30 And Caleb stilled the people before Moses, and said, Let us go up at once, and possess it; for we are well able to overcome it.

You will often hear of the biblical lands of Judea & Samaria being referred to as the so-called “West Bank”, or the “occupied territories.” But, can Israel be an occupying power in its own land? We know that according to the Bible, Israel does not exist by the grace of the United Nations, but by the grace of God on the basis of an everlasting covenant to which the Lord swore a solemn oath. Learn more about the real story of the Land of Israel with a free pocket size booklet that includes 13 colorful maps!

How the Media is Culpable in Gaza Deaths

How the Media is Culpable in Gaza Deaths

Sunday, July 27, 2014 |  Israel Today Staff
An award-winning international journalist has written a must-read piece over at The Times of Israel regarding the mainstream media’s culpability in the high Gaza death toll.
Simcha Jacobovici explains that the media likes nothing more than props that can quickly and dramatically tell a story for them, and the Palestinians (in particular Hamas) have become masters at playing to this desire.
A highlight of the article is this line:
“…the Western media has taught Hamas that it doesn’t matter how downright evil you are. It doesn’t matter if you launch two thousand missiles at civilian targets, including the airport. It doesn’t matter if you use your own children as human shields. You’ll get the coverage you want if CNN, BBC et al. have props to point their cameras at. Our form of news-gathering has taught Hamas to turn their children into those props, and to sacrifice them on the altar of Jihad. By misreporting, our media has encouraged the bad guys to kill their own children, and has dragged Israel into a war it did not want.”
Sounds like the kind of child sacrifice that once dominated this region, and which Israel was commanded to wipe out.
They sacrificed their sons and their daughters to the demons; they poured out innocent blood, the blood of their sons and daughters, whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan, and the land was polluted with blood. (Psalm 106:37–38)
…for every abominable thing that the Lord hates they have done for their gods, for they even burn their sons and their daughters in the fire to their gods. (Deuteronomy 12:31)

The Road Less Traveled…Making All the Difference by Gale Maiden

The Road Less Traveled…

Making All the Difference 

by Gale Maiden

Identity Network

The very well-known poem called The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost speaks powerfully to my heart. Though this poem is titled The Road Not Taken there is another road in this poem which is called the road less traveled. The road less traveled is an unfamiliar road.

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, sorry I could not
travel both and be one traveler, long I stood
and looked down one as far as I could
to where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
and having perhaps the better claim
because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
in leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
- Robert Frost

Touched by a Poem

After recently encountering this poem for the first time since my high school days, I was moved by the words of this poem. Just a month before encountering this poem, the Spirit of God spoke to my heart concerning God's need for me to embrace the unfamiliar. This means to me that continuing successful ministry will require choices to travel the less traveled paths and not the well-worn familiar road. The Spirit specifically told me that on the unfamiliar road is where I need to minister. I believe that this is a word for many who are servants and ministers of God.

Joshua…You Have not Passed this Way Before!

I believe that just as Joshua and the leadership of Israel had to embrace a path unknown in order to enter and successfully occupy the Promised Land so must present day leadership. Below is a passage of scripture leading up to the crossing of the Jordan River by Joshua and the Israelites. Even though no one had passed this way before God was giving instructions to Joshua to ensure safe passage over the Jordan to Canaan.

Then Joshua rose early in the morning; and he and all the sons of Israel set out from Shittim and came to the Jordan, and they lodged there before they crossed. At the end of three days the officers went through the midst of the camp; and they commanded the people, saying, "When you see the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God with the Levitical priests carrying it, then you shall set out from your place and go after it."However, there shall be between you and it a distance of about 2,000 cubits by measure. Do not come near it, that you may know the way (road less traveled) by which you shall go, for you have not passed this way before." Joshua 3:1-4

God here is relaying "road signs" to the children of Israel in order for them to successfully enter the Land of Promise. This was necessary because they were totally unfamiliar with this road. Neither Joshua nor the children of Israel had passed over this road. This was a road chosen by God and would require very attentive hearing ears in order to follow the road signs leading to possession of the full inheritance in the Land of Canaan.

Little did Joshua and the Israelites know that it would take approximately fourteen years along a road less traveled to fully obtain the Land of Promise. This was accomplished by God orchestrated campaigns throughout the Land of Promise launched repeatedly from an encampment at Gilgal.

Gilgal was the first encampment in Canaan located on the west bank of the Jordan River, less than a stone's throw from where they were told that they had never passed this way before.

Apostles Paul and Peter Chose Roads Less Traveled

There are many Biblical instances where choices were made to follow a God given road less traveled; these righteous choices continue making all the difference for the good in the outcome of the destinies of many.

Saul of Tarsus, later named Paul, a Jew among Jews was presented the choice of leaving his familiar environment of Judaism to minister in the unfamiliar world of Gentiles.

The Apostle Peter an unlearned and uneducated fisherman was called and sent down the road of unfamiliarity as an Apostle to the Jews.

Must I detail the unfathomable Godly difference in the kingdom of God today as a result of these two Apostles righteous choices to go the way of unfamiliarity?

Dangers along a Road of Familiarity: Familiarity Breeds Contempt

A known road is one in which travelers might very well grow to depend on familiar and past road signs instead of accepting the challenge of the need to be alert to new road signs. Does familiarity breed contempt? Contempt argues that "my" familiar way is the only way to successfully travel. Unfortunately this contempt for the signs given by an ever-present God in order to lead us down the less traveled road is rampant in the present day church. This contempt is called "religion".

God is much better served, not by our familiarity or experience from a well-traveled road, but from our familiarity with Him. God is able to guide us down the less traveled road!

The road chosen by God for us is one which Frost says is grassy and desires wear. Unfamiliar roads desire to be trodden down with steps of those willing to walk this way. I believe that only those who are willing to follow God down an unfamiliar path will as Robert Frost said, "Make all the difference."   

Possible Characteristics of a Present Day Road Less Traveled

The unfamiliar road chosen by God for us needless to say could have an infinite number of characteristics. I am seeing that one of the unfamiliar characteristics of a road less worn could be in the area of a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of God. God is truth and desires truth in our inward parts.

I believe that the hand-me-down traditions which have for two thousand years nullified the truth and liberty desired for the church is being now challenged as never before. This path or road of revelation is a road less traveled and is now challenging the very heart of thought to be established doctrines; doctrines which for the most part aren't producing a true witness to the works given to us by our Father God. 

This present life changing unfamiliar revelation is nothing new but rather a rediscovery of the profound simplicity of the word of God. Rejoice and prepare to be shaken to the core. God recently told me to tell the body of Christ that there is presently a post script written on the heart of every believer. PS is an acronym for profoundly simple.

Also just as Joshua and the Apostle Paul were called geographically down an unfamiliar road less traveled so will many of us hear the voice of God calling us to other locations with which we are totally unfamiliar.
                                                                                      
May this poem and article challenge our heart unto consistent reexamination to see if we be on the faith road of unfamiliarity?

To those of us with a pioneering spirit this word is a glorious boost on to a road which will make "all the difference" to the world.
