Growing In God with Gary Hargrave

• GIG257 God’s Final Solution Revealed

  Growing In God Podcast   Web Description: Hargrave Ministries is delighted to announce that the book God’s Final Solution Revealed is published and available! Subtitled “A Call to End Anti-Semitism in the World,” this book challenges us to discover and uproot the anti-Semitism in our own hearts. But it not only deals with the negative aspects. It also gives us a connection with Israel and the Jewish people and links us into the irreversible promises of God in His Word for His nation and His people in the end-time.   Show Notes: Many nations have continually tried to carry out their solutions and plans for the Jewish people and the land of Israel. This even included Hitler’s extremely evil “final solution.” What these nations forget is that the Jewish people are God’s people and Israel is God’s land and God has a plan for them. The book God’s Final Solution Revealed presents this plan which God has made clearly known throughout the Scriptures.   As Christians the sooner we recognize God’s plan and become those who are praying, proclaiming, and actively participating in its fulfilment, the better off we will be. As this book explains, anti-Semitism is like leaven that appears to be dormant for a long time until it suddenly manifests in destructive ways—a fact that we are witnessing today. The book also shows how Christianity sadly has been a major source of this anti-Semitism throughout history.   Whether we want to admit it or not, this leaven of anti-Semitism still exists within the Christian Church. In our doctrines, our statements of faith, and our attitudes, we have been shaped by a great deal of anti-Semitism. And it is essential in this day that we free ourselves from these ways of thinking. Please get this book, read it prayerfully, and ask the Holy Spirit to expose the leaven of anti-Semitism in your own heart and be diligent to sweep it out.   Key Verses:   •       Jeremiah 33:6–7. “I will restore the fortunes of Judah and the fortunes of Israel and will rebuild them as they were at first.” •       Jeremiah 33:20–22. “If you can break My covenant for the day … then My covenant may also be broken with David.”   Quotes:   •       “We need to see how serious God is about His Word, about the covenants He has made with the land of Israel, with the peoples—no matter where they dwell in the diaspora today—to see every promise fulfilled and brought to pass.” •       “There needs to be a response, and yes even a rebuke, to what has been allowed to exist as anti-Semitism, not just in our society but in our churches.” •       “If we believe that we are in the end-times, then it behooves us to know what God has planned and what He has said He would do, and the fulfillments He would bring in these end days. And I believe that the relationship with Israel and the Jewish people is a major part of that.”   Takeaways:   1.    The book God’s Final Solution Revealed lays out the scriptural truth of God’s faithfulness to His people and to the land of Israel, and how we will see the fulfillment of His Word always come to pass. It also exposes the anti-Semitism in society and in the Church, and it challenges us to honestly confront it within ourselves. 2.    This book brings clarity and ends any confusion regarding the important place the Jewish people, Judaism, and Israel have in the end-times. It also shows the place the Gentile church must have in a relationship with the Jewish people, with Judaism, and with Israel. 3.    Read this book with an open heart and let the Holy Spirit enlighten your eyes to see the very real need for repentance in the Body of Christ. We must free ourselves from the conditioning of anti-Semitism that has been imparted to us over many years and remove it from the Church as well as from society.

• GIG256 Understanding Revelation and Deception About Israel

  Growing In God Podcast Web Description: As the apostle Paul warned, we are in danger when we exchange the truth for a lie. Yet there are many in America who are doing just that. Rejecting reason and obvious facts, they actively promote lies about Israel and even call for its destruction. This is the ultimate foolishness because the forces plotting Israel’s destruction are the same forces plotting America’s destruction. It is time to wake up.   Show Notes: Recent events in the United States are extremely concerning. A Jewish couple was gunned down to shouts of “free Palestine,” several synagogue members were injured by a man throwing Molotov cocktails, and a pro-Israel event was moved because of terrorist threats. We should take this seriously. Before October 7 the Israelis could not believe what Hamas said openly that they were going to do. Now Israelis do believe it. And we need to open our eyes to what we are really facing in this country.   It is no secret what Islamists are planning for America. Their philosophy of violence is not unique to Hamas. All throughout the Arab world is the belief that, starting with Israel, they must kill all Jews worldwide. It is a fundamental belief of Islam. It is a belief enacted by the UN. For years the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNWRA) has educated the children of Gaza to hate and kill Jews. You can say, “I can’t believe that about Islam. I can’t believe that about the UN.” But we are in trouble when we deny or ignore the warning signs.   In Gaza the hatred of Israel and Jews is so ingrained in people’s thinking that they are incapable of even hearing the truth. What is scary is that we are seeing this same ingrained mentality on American college campuses. The apostle Paul spoke of this when he described men of depraved mind who oppose the truth. The refusal to accept the truth goes beyond a lack of understanding of the facts. It gets into the depravity of mind that exchanges the truth for a lie. As Christians we must reject anything that would allow this depravity to take root in ourselves. We need to be free of every mentality except God’s and be a force to impart and empower His truth.   Key Verses:   •       Romans 1:16–32. “They exchanged the truth of God for a lie.” •       2 Timothy 3:7–17. “These men also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind.”   Quotes:   •       “We've got to stop saying, “Oh, I just can't believe it. I can't believe the United Nations is doing that or would do that.” No, they've already done it. They've done it within the last seventy years. This has been very calculatedly carried out until you're dealing with people who don't have another way to think. They don't have another way to believe.” •       “Read the Koran and it's very clear that Islam has a mandate to take over the world. Sounds very much like what was in the thinking of the Japanese that created the events that happened in World War II. And this is what we're up against. It’s not just a religion. It goes beyond that. It's a way of thinking.” •       “God is the only One who has a solution to this problem. And He's the only One who loves everybody enough to bring about a solution that would be justice, because God is justice and He's not going to violate Himself.”   Takeaways:   1.    We need to open our eyes because what happened in Israel is happening in the United States. Before October 7, the Israelis could not believe what the jihadists openly published they were going to do. Jihadist groups openly publish their plan to kill all Jews and then kill Christians, and they continue to act on that plan. Therefore, we need to get out of the pattern of not wanting to believe what they are clearly saying and doing. 2.    We are dealing with a mentality that is deeper than what we understand. The people of Gaza have grown up being taught that they must destroy Israel and kill Jews. It is entrenched in their thinking. But this way of thinking is not exclusive to Gaza. It is throughout the Islamic world and is embraced by a majority in the United Nations. Even in Christianity, anti-Semitism is still far too prevalent. 3.    Many today have a deep-seated inability to listen to reason or accept basic historical facts. Instead, they are determined to believe lies about Israel and the Jewish people. Do not allow those of depraved minds to influence your thinking. Reach into the revelation, wisdom, and understanding of these times that come as gifts of the Holy Spirit.

• GIG255 When the Lord Sanctifies Israel

  Growing In God Podcast  Web Description: We believe together that we will have the insight to see the simplicity of what God is doing today in Israel. As He has spoken, He is gathering all Israel and making them one nation in their land. In the process He will glorify Himself, not only before Israel, but before all the nations. So let us not be caught up in the confusion that the world is under but rather focus on and declare the fulfillment of God’s Word.   Show Notes: Many people in the world are observing and reacting to what is happening in Israel. It can be confusing if you focus on the news reports and all the issues surrounding them. But there is a clarity and simplicity to what God is doing and has been doing in Israel, especially since the State of Israel was formed. God is gathering the sons of Israel from among all the nations where they have been scattered, and He is making them one nation in the land He gave them.   So the nations of the world need to be careful. God is the One who is settling the Jewish people in Israel. And if the nations are fighting that, then they are fighting God. If you are confused by what is happening in Israel, understand that satan is not. The source of the anti-Semitism and accusations against the Jewish people is not confusing at all. It is from satan, the accuser of the brethren, who accuses them day and night before God because he knows his time is short.    As we watch God fulfill His promise to bring the sons of Israel together and make them one nation, we know He will also fulfill His promise to sanctify them. With that He will show Himself to be God before the nations because they will know that He is the Lord who sanctifies Israel. The message could not be clearer, and we as believers need to be aligned with God’s Word and not with the confusion that satan is bringing. We need to be believing, holding, and proclaiming God’s Word over Israel. That is the truth and that is what will happen.   Key Verses:   •       Ezekiel 37:21–28. “The nations will know that I am the LORD who sanctifies Israel.” •       Jeremiah 32:41. “I will … faithfully plant them in this land with all My heart.” •       Ezekiel 20:42–44. “I have dealt with you for My name’s sake.” •       Revelation 12:10–13. “He persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child.” •       Ezekiel 20:40–42. “You will know that I am the LORD, when I bring you into the land of Israel.”   Quotes:   •       “How do we deal with the struggles and the war that's taking place right now? It's dealt with by coming back to the Scriptures and finding a clarity about what it is that God is doing, and then beginning to have ourselves move with Him.” •       “God is not just doing something stand-alone with Israel and the Jewish people. What He's doing with them is also going to show who He is to all the nations, that the nations may know God in the way that Israel will know God and does know Him.” •       “How are all these things going to end up? Well, they're going to end up in a covenant of peace that only God can bring forth.”   Takeaways:   1.    What is happening in Israel is not confusing. It is simple. God is settling the Jewish people in Israel. He is sanctifying them and making them the nation that He promised they would be. In that process He is showing Himself to be God to the nations. 2.    If you are fighting that, then you are fighting God; you are coming against what God is doing. The accusations against Israel are coming from satan, who understands exactly what God is doing, knows it means his end, and he is raging against it. 3.    The nations will be called to account for the way they have treated Israel and for the way they have either been for or against God’s plan; either they helped or hindered the process of God bringing His Kingdom.

• GIG254 The Love of God Is Forgiveness

  Growing In God Podcast  Web Description: Is there something for which God has forgiven you, others have forgiven you, and yet you cannot forgive yourself? You cannot assume that it would have no impact on your expression of love to others. We love because God first loved us, and the power of God’s love is forgiveness. So we must not limit it from doing its work in us first. Let us turn loose that power by fully accepting God’s love and forgiveness for ourselves.    Show Notes:  There is no answer for this world apart from God's love. There is a power in His love that if turned loose would bring the solutions that we need. All the wars that are happening are a product of hate. The missiles being launched against Israel are from those who hate Israel and hate the Jews. And yet this is in a land that is about the love of God in the children of Abraham. Therefore, instead of hatred they should be expressing brotherly love because no one can love God and hate his brother.   We love because God first loved us. This means that the love He gives us at some point must become a love that is expressed from us. We know that the power of God’s love toward us is unlimited. Why then is the expression of that love from us toward others so often limited and lacking power? To answer that question, we need to look within ourselves. We know we are to love our neighbor as ourselves. Therefore, if we do not love ourselves, we restrict the flow of love to our neighbor.   The power of God's love is forgiveness. We may believe and accept that nothing can separate us from God’s love. But if we are unable to forgive ourselves, we can effectively block the power of that love from working in our lives and consequently in the lives of others. God has made an everlasting covenant with us according to His faithful mercies to David. It is a covenant of forgiveness. We in turn must let the power of His forgiveness work in us and through us.   Key Verses:   •       Romans 8:37–39. “I am convinced that neither death, nor life … will be able to separate us from the love of God.” •       Romans 5:8. “God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” •       Romans 8:28–35. “Who will bring a charge against God’s elect? … Who will separate us from the love of Christ?” •       1 John 4:16–21. “We love, because He first loved us.” •       Matthew 22:35–40. “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.” •       Galatians 5:14. “The whole Law is … ‘YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF.’” •       1 John 4:7–11. “If God so loved us, we also ought to love one another.” •       Psalm 130:3–4. “There is forgiveness with You.” •       Isaiah 55:3. “I will make an everlasting covenant with you, according to the faithful mercies [hesed] shown to David.” •       Psalm 136. “His lovingkindness [hesed] is everlasting.” •       Acts 13:34–35. “I WILL GIVE YOU THE HOLY and SURE blessings OF DAVID.”   Quotes:   •       “It's one thing to know that God has forgiven me. It's another thing for me to be free and delivered by His forgiveness in that I'm able to forgive myself.” •       “Once we have this love of God in us, it should manifest as a love of our brother, of our neighbor. And yet, why can't that happen? It can't happen if I can't love myself, if I can't forgive myself, because you love your neighbor as yourself. And that is where this whole thing gets stuck.” •       “When we're able to love our neighbor as ourself, the whole world changes. Everything changes. The hate stops. The lies stop. The war stops. The put-down stops. The shame stops. Everything that we do in a negativity of relating to the person and the people outside of us ends with that love.”   Takeaways:   1.    The power of God's love always ministers forgiveness. In other words, forgiveness is the outworking of God's love. Wherever you find His love, you find forgiveness. What can stop this power? Only we can stop it when we do not forgive ourselves. 2.    We love because He first loved us. And if we love ourselves, we should love our neighbor. God’s love to us and in us must be expressed from us because we cannot love God and hate our brother. We are the only ones who can limit that expression. 3.    God promised an everlasting covenant according to the faithful, steadfast, and eternal mercies (hesed) of David. This is a covenant of forgiveness as shown to David and given to us in Christ. This power of God’s love needs to work through us to bring a freedom from the hate, division, and all that is not forgiving.

• GIG253 Our Meeting With Mike Huckabee

  Growing In God Podcast   Web Description: Mike Huckabee, the US ambassador to Israel, is urging Americans to visit Israel at this time. Ambassador Huckabee is also a Christian and a true example of how to bless Israel and the Jewish people. As fellow Christians we should follow his example, go to Israel if we can, and be the expression of Christ’s love to the Israeli people.   Show Notes: During our solidarity tour in Israel, we had the pleasure of meeting with Ambassador Mike Huckabee. In this meeting we had a deep connection of heart and spirit together as the ambassador conveyed a message to the American people. That message is, “Come to Israel.” It is significant that Huckabee is not Jewish like many United States ambassadors to Israel have been. He is an evangelical Christian and a true man of faith. As Christians we should take this to heart and understand our role in helping Israel.   At Hargrave Ministries we try to deal with the issue that the Church has long been a source of negative relations with the Jewish people. Christians have a history of persecuting Jews as well as trying to convert them to Christianity in a way that erases their Jewish heritage. Therefore, you find many who do not trust the motivation of Christians when they come to Israel. That is why we need to pray for Mike Huckabee and follow his lead. As a Christian with a heart of love and faith for Israel and the Jewish people, he is not only representing the United States but also representing all Christians as an ambassador to Israel.   If you are a Christian, one of the greatest things you can do right now is visit Israel. Israel needs to see the expression of love and faith coming from Christians. The Jewish people, whether they are in Israel or not, need to see that Christ is an expression of the love of the Father for them. Everywhere we have gone in Israel on this tour, the response from people has been, “Thank you for being here. You have no idea what your support means for us.” So go to Israel and be a blessing. But whether you go or not, keep praying for Israel and keep giving to help the Israeli people.   Key Verses:   •       1 John 4:16. “God is love.” •       John 3:16. “God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son.” •       Isaiah 55:3. “I will make an everlasting covenant with you, according to the faithful mercies shown to David.”   Quotes:   •       “I think it's a real problem when Christians try to missionize the Jewish people because you're doing more than just saying, “Be a Christian.” You're trying to change the culture. You're trying to change really who the Jewish people are.” •       “We send donations and support every month to eight different organizations here in Israel. But I'll tell you, when we walk in the door and we show up here, that really impacts them, and they appreciate it beyond what you can imagine.” •       “You can pray for the people of Israel. You can pray for the nation of Israel, pray for the soldiers, pray for those that are in need in Israel. So many things that you can pray for if you're not able to come. But if you are able, know that you have an invitation with an open heart from our current representative here and his staff—Mike Huckabee the new ambassador.”   Takeaways:   1.    Mike Huckabee, the current United States ambassador to Israel, is a born-again evangelical Christian. In fact, he is a former Baptist minister. So not only is he representing the United States as a nation, but he is also representing all of us who are believing Christians. 2.    Mike Huckabee’s love and faith for Israel should be the expression from all Christians. And one of the things he is doing as ambassador is encouraging Christians to come to Israel at this time. 3.    Because of the negative ways Christians have related to them, many in the Jewish community mistrust the motives of Christians who come to Israel. Therefore, there is a deep need for an expression to Israel and to the Jewish people of Christ's love, which is the manifestation of the Father's love for them. And being there in Israel is one of the greatest ways to do that.
