*This Happened in John Hagee's Church - Naqba Day - May 15, 2011
(improtectd)*
*This is something bad!! Could this be the beginning of more of this .....
even here?*
*A clear message from a very brave pastor - may thousands more like him
rise up all over the world!!*
*It is also a warning of what is coming our way - and we should make sure
we're prepared!*
This is a sign of the times. This type of “protest” will become typical as
we continue to stand for truth. As you scroll down, Hagee has a wonderful
and clear message of why it is important to continue to stand with Israel.

*Weekly Update - May 17, 2011*
*Greetings to all of our 'Salt Covenant Partners' across the nation and
around the world. If you haven't already heard, you will soon hear on the
national media about the radical protesters that invaded Cornerstone Church
Sunday protesting the right of Israel to exist. I want my friends and
partners to have “all the truth and nothing but the truth.”*
*The facts are as follows: Sunday morning, May 15, 2011, at Cornerstone
Church in San Antonio a day was set aside to express our appreciation for
the State of Israel and the Jewish people. Hundreds of churches across
America and around the world joined us as we stood in solidarity with Israel
in this time of crisis.*
*What I didn't know was that eleven anti-Israel protesters came to our
11:00 am worship service pretending to be worshipers. They sat in different
sections of the church; some in the balcony and the majority on the main
floor. As it turned out, none of them were Palestinians; they were all local
radical activists.*
*As I stood to deliver the sermon, one female “Palestinian protester” stood
at the edge of the balcony and began throwing anti-Israel propaganda
leaflets on to the main floor of the sanctuary. She was not screaming; she
was throwing leaflets by the handful on the heads of the people below.*
*The leaflets said, “We stand in solidarity with Palestinians and demand an
end to U.S. support for Israeli occupation, apartheid, and violations of the
human rights of Palestinians. We stand in solidarity with the Third Intifada
demanding the right of return to occupied territories.”*
*One side of the propaganda leaflet has the picture of a mother burying her
child under the caption, “Your tithes are responsible for this!” The leaflet
claimed Israel was responsible for the deaths of 1,500 children since the
year 2000.*
*Cornerstone Church has an outstanding security team consisting of highly
trained and professional police officers. On this particular Sunday they
were simply spectacular. They quickly located and escorted out the leaflet
protester.*
*Five minutes later, a second protester stood and started screaming as
loudly as she could, “Free Palestine! Israel is apartheid. Israel has no
right to the land.” She was quickly escorted out by security as the
congregation cheered and applauded their action and her exodus. Five minutes
after that, a third protester stood and started screaming fanatical
propaganda phrases against Israel that are used all over the world to attack
Israel and the Jewish people.*
*I now knew we had a major and highly organized protest on our hands whose
objective was to shut the service down to prevent this nationally televised
tribute to Israel. At this point, I told my congregation, “The objective of
these protesters is to shut down this tribute to Israel. I'm going to finish
this sermon if it takes unto 6:00 pm tonight.” The congregation cheered like
it was the Super Bowl.*
*These protesters did more to unite our congregation in one hour than a
dozen preachers have done in the past few years. Protester after protester
every five minutes stood, screamed slogans, and was escorted out by
security. We finished out service in one accord and with total joy.*
*The protesters were taken to the chapel where they were photographed,
required to give their identifications, and charged with criminal trespass
by our officers. If they return to church property they will be sent to
jail. Some were sent to jail immediately because of outstanding warrants for
their arrest. One-third of the staff of a local non-profit organization, the
Esperanza Peace and Justice Center, participated in this anti-Israel church
invasion.*
*In reviewing the Esperanza Peace and Justice Center Facebook page, it
appears that at least five more of the eleven protesters participated in
past protests publicized by Esperanza. Esperanza Peace and Justice Center
receives tax funding from the city of San Antonio and the state of Texas.*
*Here is why we are going to continue to support the State of Israel and
the Jewish people:*
*1. Israel is not a political issue... Israel is a Bible issue. Truth is not
what you think it is, truth is not what I say it is, truth is what the Bible
says it is. The reality is that Israel is the only nation created by a
sovereign act of God in the Book of Genesis. Israel was not born on May 15,
1948 . . . it was born 3,500 years ago when Almighty God made an eternal
covenant between Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob and their descendants (see
Genesis 13:14-15 and Genesis 17:7-8).*
*2. Those who believe the Bible are commanded in Psalm 122:6 to “_Pray for
the peace of Jerusalem; may they prosper who love you. Peace be within your
walls, prosperity within your palaces.”*
*3. God has promised in Genesis 12:1-4 to bless every person and nation who
blesses Israel and to curse every persona and nation that curses Israel. The
effectiveness of this divine mandate is seen in the lives of two Pharaohs.
The Pharaoh that blessed Joseph and the Jewish people avoided starvation and
knew unlimited prosperity; the Pharaoh that “knew not Joseph” and who
drowned Jewish male children in the Nile River, was himself turned to fish
food in the Red sea with his army. Exactly what you do to the Jewish people,
God will do to you.*
*4. In Luke 7 the blessing of healing came to the house of a Roman
centurion (a Gentile) with a sick servant. Why? Jesus Christ, a Jewish
Rabbi, entered the Roman centurion's house and prayed for his sick servant
because “he built a synagogue” in the Land of Israel (see Luke 7:1-5).*
*5. St. Paul has commanded all Christians in Romans 15:27, “For if the
Gentiles have benefited from their spiritual things (the Jewish people) it
is the duty of the Gentiles to minister to them in material things.” What
spiritual blessings have the Jewish people given to us? They have given us
the Word of God, the Patriarchs, the Prophets, the first family of
Christianity (Mary, Joseph Jesus, and the 12 Disciples) and the Apostle
Paul. Take away the Jewish contribution to Christianity and there would be
no Christianity.*
*6. We support Israel because Jesus Christ our Lord said, “I say to
you, 'Inasmuch
as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to
me.'” (Matthew
25:40). The phrase “My brethren” refers to the Jewish people. Jesus never
called the Gentiles His brethren until the cross. Before the cross we were,
as St. Paul stated, “outside the covenants of Israel, without God, and
without hope and of all men most miserable.”*
*7. We support Israel because Obadiah 1:15 and Joel 3:2 make it very clear
that any nation (including America) that tries to divide the Land of Israel
(including Jerusalem) will experience the judgment of God. Simply stated, the
day America turns its back on Israel will be the day God will turn His back
on America.*
*8. We support Israel because Israel has the right to exist! We call on the
President and Congress to demand that Hamas and the Palestinians recognize
Israel's right to exist or to cut off all foreign aid immediately. Israel
has the right to defined and defensible borders. Israel has the right to
defend itself from any nation or group of people that attack them.*
*To all Bible believers, let us unite to stand up and speak up for the
State of Israel. God is watching!*
*Sincerely, Pastor John Hagee, Cornerstone Church, San Antonio, Texas*
*NOTE**: *Both my wife Marie and I read the above article, and
independently and then unitedly felt you as readers should have the
privilege of reading this also. A local church, either in the home or a
separate building, needs to be protected. It is *an extended family*. We
don't allow a visitor to come into our family and “break Protocol” by
disturbing it. Neither should a local church allow anyone to come in like
the 11 intruders above, without being handled *swiftly* and *efficiently*!
In 1906 three prominent pastors of Canada traveled to Azusa Street that
year, and returned with the gift (do-reA) of the Holy Spirit according to
Acts 2:38. Pastor D.N. Buntain of Winnipeg had a church of some 1500 members
back then. Immediately upon his return Satan sent extreme disturbers to
disrupt the service. When he learned that God would not handle such
disturbers in answer to prayer, and would *not* be grieved if *he* did;
immediately like Pastor John Hagee, he deputed four of his ushers to take a
limb each of the next intruder - lift him above their heads - and march him
out of the church! *That* settled all such future disturbers!
In Tacoma Washington, a church had a visitor in the balcony deliver a
prophecy that did not witness with *us* nor the church elders. The pastor
checked with 4 or 5 fellow elders on the platform with him - then stood
behind the pulpit till the visitor finished, and then replied, “Church! I
and my elders do not receive this word as from the Lord. At the close of the
service, if this brother wishes to receive from us the reason for our
rejection, we will be happy to share our reason with him. Now - let's
continue on with our worship service!
We had a guest with us that morning who had organized National Aglow for
all of Canada. She was impressed with the wisdom and immediate handling of
this problem by this Tacoma pastor.
May *all* pastors of Canada and the US handle with wisdom and immediate
dispatch all such intruding visitors in a local extended church family! Such
are in need of “Warfare by Honor”, the Biblical rules for Protocol. See
