**PLEASE READ AND SHARE!!! It’s so important we understand the TRUTH about what’s happening in Israel and Gaza and not allow mainstream media to influence your opinions, thoughts, or ideas about what is going on over here!**( VIDEO - The security cameras from the Gaza aid distribution site #1 at the time of the alleged fatal shooting. No shooting and no injuries. )💩FAKE MASSACRE REPORTING makes headline news worldwide:CNN (and on the BBC, etc) - “At least 31 Palestinians killed after Israeli forces open fire near Gaza aid distribution center, health workers say.”“At least 31 Palestinians were killed and dozens injured amid chaotic scenes at an aid distribution site run by a US-backed private foundation in southern Gaza on Sunday, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.The HAMAS health ministry blamed the Israeli military for the deaths. Some witnesses claimed that security personnel at the distribution hub had also opened fire. The HAMAS health ministry said that more than 200 casualties had reached hospitals, including dozens with serious injuries. It added that all those killed had been shot in the head or chest.”REALITY - See attached video: “The security cameras from the distribution site number 1 at the time of the alleged fatal shooting. No shooting and no injuries.”.. IDF SOLDIERS ON SITE - (1) Soldiers in the vicinity of the aid centers: Not only was there no shooting, we were prohibited from shooting at armed men in the area of the Salah ad-Din Highway due to the presence of thousands of Gazans in their vicinity. There was an attempt to loot an aid truck that was stuck.(2) Soldiers in the area report that no one was injured in the incident, according to them it was smoke grenades from the American security guards.(3) Testimony of an IDF officer who was right there, "There was no IDF fire in the area in question. We are being especially careful, and are relatively distant. What it appears to be: an incident initiated by Hamas militants that led to a confrontation with other militants. Or an incident between militant groups that are multiplying with the disintegration of Hamas rule.”.. IDF SPOKESPERSON - The IDF is currently unaware of injuries caused by IDF fire within the Humanitarian Aid distribution site. The matter is still under review... GAZA RELIEF FUND (distribution operator) (GHF) - There was no shooting at the food distribution center - nor in its immediate vicinity... THE GAZA RELIEF FUND SAYS - "The more successful the GHF effort is, the greater the distress Hamas will find itself in, and accordingly we will see more and more fake publications of 'massacre' events.".. FORMER PM BENNETT - "Since this morning, the world media, CNN, BBC and everyone else have been describing in their headlines that Israeli tanks opened fire on Gazans at food distribution centers and 26 people were killed. This is an event that did not happen. Israeli information management does not exist.".. So far, no official representative from the IDF/Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Prime Minister's Office/Ministry of Defense has seen fit to appear in front of the cameras to deny/explain/or refute the claims to the extent that they are a complete "fake”d by Hamas. ...

Inspire Truth is at Kehilat HaCarmel.

4 days ago

About last night… I’m still gathering my thoughts after an incredible worship night at Kehilat HaCarmel on Mount Carmel. When I flew back to Israel, I told God how much I’d miss the worship in Newport and asked if He’d open the door for me to attend one of @soluisrael’s events. A few weeks later, I found myself singing praise to Elohim in Arabic, Hebrew, and English with believers from all over the world. Talk about an answered prayer!There’s truly nothing like coming together as ONE in Messiah, lifting our voices in our native tongues. More than once, my breath caught and tears welled in my eyes at the beauty unfolding around me — it felt like a glimpse of Heaven.As we enter the season of Shavuot, I’m thanking God for His goodness and for the gift of the Holy Spirit. Even when sirens sounded as missiles were launched by those who want us destroyed, we worshipped without fear because we know God holds the victory!I didn’t realize how much I’d missed Israel until I came home. Nights like this remind me what it means to be a community of believers, serving Yeshua and one another in love. It was such a blessing to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones. My heart is full, and my soul is still singing 🥰Huge thanks to @nizar.francism and Beit Eliyahu for organizing and leading such a powerful evening! 🎶And, shoutout to @lightwavesmediastudios for capturing it all. Stay tuned for the official videos soon! 🙌🏼#israel #oneheart #onevoice #cometogether #solu #worship #yeshua #praise #goodnessofgod #answeredprayer ... See MoreSee Less

Inspire Truth is with Erin Phillips.

Book Review 📖 - In The Betrayal of Eden, the first installment in the Grimoire and Key trilogy, Erin Phillips delivers a bold and atmospheric reimagining of The Count of Monte Cristo, transforming Alexandre Dumas’ classic tale into a dark fantasy laced with magic, betrayal, and slow-burn vengeance.Although I haven’t read Dumas’ original novel, I found The Betrayal of Eden to be fresh, ambitious, and full of promise. Erin Phillips brings a clear and creative vision to this retelling. Her prose is immersive, her world-building richly developed, and her characters perfectly imperfect. It’s not easy to reimagine a literary classic, but Phillips does so with originality and care. I admire her storytelling and the risks she took to make this narrative her own.Does vengeance ever bring justice? Or does it only prolong the pain and perpetuate the cycle? I have no doubt Eden and Hunter will discover the truth for themselves as the series continues.Click the link to read my full review and order a copy of The Betrayal of Eden - inspire-truth.com/the-betrayal-of-eden/#newrelease #darkfantasy #fantasy #bookstagram #erinphillips #thebetrayalofeden #inspiretruth #bookreview #countofmontecristo #classic #betrayal ...

After ten transformative months in the UK, I flew back to Israel two weeks ago for a long-awaited reunion with my family. While it was bittersweet to leave Newport, I’m so grateful for how God used that time to bring healing, growth, joy, and rest. I was only meant to stay for three months, but God had other plans, and every extra day was a lesson in His perfect timing.When I boarded the plane last July, I didn’t know if I’d ever return to Israel — or if I’d have a home to return to since the war was intensifying. Even before October 7th, I pleaded with God to open a door for me to leave. When that door finally opened, I ran through it only to find my heart longing to return. It took leaving Israel for God to show me how connected I am to this land and how much it matters to Him.Click to read more: ... See MoreSee Less

After nearly 10 months away, I finally landed back in Israel yesterday and reunited with my family! 🥳Leaving Newport was bittersweet. I didn’t expect to stay there as long as I did, but God knew exactly what I needed. Each extra day was a blessing, and His timing, as always, was perfect! Saying goodbye to the Wright family was not easy. They were truly a godsend, wrapping me in love, hospitality, and friendship when I needed it most. I will forever be grateful to them and also those at Warehouse Church who made me feel welcomed back to my hometown. 🥰When I left Israel, I was carrying so much fear and exhaustion. I didn’t know if I’d ever feel ready to come back, but these months were a season of healing. As the plane touched down, I was listening to Brandon Lake’s song, Fear Is Not My Future, and felt Yeshua’s peace, joy, love, strength, and hope wash over me. Even though we are still at war and the sirens could sound at any time, I feel safer here than I did in Europe. There is something powerful about being surrounded by people who understand, endure, and choose LIFE. 🇮🇱Surprising my grandparents was the best!!! Their reactions said it all: I am home!!It was a LONG journey (over 24 hours — with a pit stop in London to see my cousin, Tash and go to The Room Where It Happens 💃), so I’m enjoying a rest before jumping in with both feet. While I don’t know what my future holds, I’m excited for what God’s going to do in these next four weeks — it’s all in His hands! 🙌🏼Psalms‬ ‭34‬:‭4‬,8‬, “I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears…Taste and see that the Lord is good.”‭‭#home #cominghome #israel #amyisraelchai #surprise ...

Chag Pesach Sameach! Happy Passover! 🥳🫓My favorite time of year has arrived! I love gathering around the table with friends and family to retell the story of freedom and remember the unshakable faithfulness of our God. At Passover, we don’t just look back at the Exodus; we look forward and inward, celebrating Yeshua, our Messiah, who became the ultimate Passover Lamb and brought reconciliation through His sacrifice. Death was defeated; Yeshua is ALIVE! HALLELUJAH! 🙌🏼This year, I’m even more thankful I get to celebrate this holiday. I wasn’t sure I’d have a Seder night, but God opened the door for me to celebrate with long-time family friends. I can’t wait to bake my family’s traditional Passover cookies for everyone. 🤗However, even as we rejoice in the Messiah’s love, our hearts continue to carry a cry that echoes from Egypt to today: “Let my people go!” 59 hostages are still being held captive by Hamas in Gaza, reminding us that freedom is not just a story of the past, but a prayer for the present. So, please continue to pray for the hostages and the end of this tragic war! 💔What are some of your favorite Passover traditions? Drop them in the comments below; I’d love to read them! ⬇️May you have a meaningful Seder night and a joyful Feast of Unleavened Bread! 🥳💖inspire-truth.com/the-significance-of-the-feasts-passover-unleavened-bread/#passover #unleavenedbread #feast #spring #jesusisalive #deathwasdefeated #exodus #inspiretruth #happypassover #lamb #letmypeoplego #bringthemhome #israel ...

Faith is not about keeping the gift of salvation for ourselves; it’s about pouring out what God has poured in!When we accepted Yeshua, Jesus, into our hearts, we became vessels of His grace. But let’s be honest: forgiving is hard. Loving our enemies? Even harder. Yet, Jesus died for the most wicked of sinners just as much as He died for you and me. Now, that doesn’t mean sin goes unpunished — God is just, and there are consequences for doing evil — but when we turn to Him and repent, our sins are washed clean, and we are forgiven. Right now, the world is in turmoil. Hatred is running rampant, and injustice is everywhere. It’s easy to look at someone and see the sins they have committed, forgetting that they, too, are souls needing salvation. If the Lord can see past our sins and grant us grace, forgiveness, and everlasting love, why can’t we extend the same to others? Many will reject the Lord, but that doesn’t mean we stop trying to reach them. After all, faith is not about receiving, accepting, and keeping the gift of salvation for ourselves. It’s about GIVING BACK! The Lord wants us to use what He pours into us to impact others. When we refuse to forgive or choose to operate in our flesh, we withhold the very thing God freely gives us! Today, let’s choose to be like Stephen, who got on his knees as he was stoned and prayed that the Lord would forgive his executioners (Acts 7:54-60)! If we only loved those who loved us back or forgave those who truly meant it, how would that set us apart from the world? It wouldn’t. Instead, Jesus challenges us in Luke 6:35-26 to go beyond what comes naturally, saying, “But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Be merciful, just as your Father is merciful.”The world doesn’t need more darkness; it needs light. So, let’s pour out what God has poured into us and shine His love today! ✨inspire-truth.com/living-vessels-pouring-out-what-god-has-poured-in/#inspiretruth #blog #encourage #bible #love #loveyourenemies #faith #inspire #yeshua #jesus #whatwouldjesusdo #faithinaction #bethelight ...

Book Review 📖 Melissa Ferguson delivers yet another heartwarming and delightful read with The Perfect Rom-Com. This novel is a swoon-worthy, slow-burn, friends-to-lovers story that offers everything romance readers crave. Yet, it goes beyond the typical rom-com formula, reminding readers that real love isn’t a Hollywood fantasy; it takes effort, growth, and courage to reach “happily ever after.” 💖While Bryony and Jack’s chemistry crackles throughout The Perfect Rom-Com, their individual authenticity and charm steal the spotlight. Many would have abandoned their humble jobs to chase their dreams, but Bryony’s unwavering dedication to her ESL students added a beautiful depth to the narrative, showing that purpose and fulfillment don’t always come from fame or fortune. On the other hand, Jack faces his own reckoning as he learns that success isn’t all about strategy but vulnerability and sacrifice.Beyond the central love story, Melissa Ferguson masterfully crafts a vibrant supporting cast. By the novel’s end, Gloria, Penny, Serghei, and the others felt like old friendsThe Perfect Rom-Com brilliantly balances lighthearted fun, relatable emotion, and meaningful takeaways. Whether you’re reading it with your girlfriends or curled up on the couch, it is the perfect pick-me-up to binge on the weekend. Once again, Melissa Ferguson proves why she’s a standout voice in contemporary romance. Her latest release will leave you smiling long after you turn the final page. 🥰*Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher, for providing me with a pre-release copy of this novel. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.*inspire-truth.com/the-perfect-rom-com/#theperfectromcom #melissaferguson #bookstagram #romcom #contemporary #romance #bookreview #friendstolovers #slowburn #cleanreading #thomasnelson ...
