One day he is outrunning chariots. The next day he is undone by what is basically an angry text message. And if we are honest, that is us, isn’t it? On Sunday we are full of faith, certain God can do anything, ready to take on the world. By Tuesday afternoon one bad headline, one harsh comment, one threat from someone with power, and suddenly we are hiding under our own broom tree convinced it’s all over.
Courage, you see, was never the absence of fear. James 5:17 tells us Elijah “was a man with a nature like ours,” and yet he prayed and the heavens shut up for three years. The same nature as ours. He felt the fear and he stood anyway, and on the days he couldn’t stand, God did not throw him away. Instead, God sent an angel, gave him a meal and a nap, and got him back on his feet.
So if you are a giant one day and a coward the next, you are in good company, and you are not disqualified. The believer today is constantly told to be quiet, be neutral, be safe. But God has never once been glorified by a coward, and He has never once given up on a tired warrior. I wrote The Elijah Mandate to put a little steel back into the spine of the church, and a lot of hope back into our difficult days.

The shamed ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan has been removed from office after the court's own member states voted him out over alleged serious sexual misconduct.
This is the same man who, in an attempt to divert attention from his sex crimes, pushed baseless arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant — for daring to defend the country after Hamas's October 7 massacre.
Khan's "justice" was always selective: rushing to criminalize Israel's self-defense while the real war criminals of Hamas hide behind civilians.
Now, with his own scandals exposed, his corrupt case against Netanyahu and Galant is exposed as illegitimate.
The ICC's credibility is in the gutter. Time to close this kangaroo court.
The mask is off.
While Hamas raped and murdered innocent civilians, UN officials manipulated minds by unleashing an information war that echoed Hamas propaganda.
See the truth for yourself:

BREAKING: Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman reportedly said that he was willing to recognize Israel today.
A new Middle East is on the horizon, one based on economic relationships and peace, instead of religious fundamentalism.
@beholdisrael Thank you, just the verses I needed to share with some Catholics (whom I honour) who are petitioning Amazon to cut ties with Israeli military.
I am currently in Western Europe, witnessing a society being thoroughly brainwashed. On every street corner, I see pro-Palestinian groups committed to the delusion that Israel has no right to exist. Back in my hotel room, I asked myself these questions:
Can God be wrong? Can the Creator of heaven and earth make mistakes? Can He choose a nation and then change His mind about it? Can He promise and then break that promise? Can His love compromise His holiness? Can God love only one nation at a time? Can a chosen nation be unchosen? Has God ever loved people only because they first loved Him?
The answer to all of these is simple: No!
Now turn to your Bible. Jeremiah 31:35–36 states: “Thus says the Lord, who gives the sun for a light by day, the ordinances of the moon and the stars for a light by night… If those ordinances depart from before Me, says the Lord, then the seed of Israel shall also cease from being a nation before Me forever.”
That’s why Israel can never and will never stop existing - because God’s covenant is unchanging. So in essence, the people are not just against Israel; they are opposing God.
Psalm 83:1-4 says:
“Do not keep silent, O God! Do not hold Your peace, and do not be still, O God! For behold, Your enemies make a tumult; and those who hate You have lifted up their head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people, and consulted together against Your sheltered ones. They have said, “Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation, that the name of Israel may be remembered no more.”
To be born again is not one option among many. According to John 3:10, it was expected of the Jews in the days of Jesus (“Are you the teacher of Israel and do not know these things?”), and it remains the requirement for anyone today who desires a personal relationship with the Creator and entrance into His kingdom (John 3:3).
