John Hagee's "Christians United for Israel" use of Genesis 12:1-3
“I will bless those who bless you,
and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth
will be blessed through you.â€
Genesis 12:1-3
God has promised to bless the man or nation that blesses the Chosen People. History has proven beyond reasonable doubt that the nations that have blessed the Jewish people have had the blessing of God; the nations that have cursed the Jewish people have experienced the curse of God.
May the work of your hands be blessed and may all you desire for you and your loved ones come to pass as Genesis 12:3 becomes reality in your lives.
[i thought GENESIS 12:3 became a reality when Jesus Christ was born, ministered, was Sacrificed on Calvary and Rose from the dead?!?....did i miss something?]

Don't let financial difficulties stop you from receiving your blessing.
God blesses those who faithfully bless Israel.
We've been blessing Israel through CUFI for 3 years. We faced some financial difficulties 2 years ago with business failures. We remembered however that God blesses those who bless Israel. So we continued to support Israel even though our offerings got smaller. God proved His word does not come back void. Since we continued to show ourselves faithful in supporting God's chosen people of Israel through CUFI, our finances have been increasing. We gained back a lot of what the devil stole thus our offerings have increased! God bless Israel and God bless CUFI!

"And I will make of thee
[Israel] a great nation and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing; And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse them that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed" (Genesis 12:2,3).

Christians United for Israel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is an
American pro-Israel Christian organization that defines itself as "a national grassroots movement focused on the support of Israel."
[1] It is the "largest" pro-Israel organization in the United States.
[2]
CUFI draws support from the
Christian Bible.
[3] Operating under the leadership of
John Hagee, it provides a national association through which churches,
parachurch organizations, ministries, and individuals in America promote pro-
Israelism financially and politically.
[SHOULDN'T HAGEE BE PROMOTING CHRIST, AND HIM CRUCIFIED FOR THE SINS OF THE ISRAELITES?]
........................................
John Hagee:
"I'm not trying to convert the Jewish people to the Christian faith... In fact, trying to convert Jews is a waste of time. Jews already have a covenant with God and that has never been replaced by Christianity." (Houston Chronicle, April 30, 1988, sec, 6, pg. 1).
"I believe that every Jewish person who lives in the light of the Torah, which is the word of God, has a relationship with God and will come to redemption" (Houston Chronicle, April 30, 1988).
[is this REALLY Love & support for ANYONE who doesn't yet know Christ?]
Foundation
In February 2006,
John Hagee revived a movement focused on the support of Israel. He called upon
Christian leaders in America to join him in launching his new initiative. Over 400 leaders, each representing a denomination, mega-church, media ministry, publishing company, or Christian university voiced support and Christians United for Israel was created.
[4]
Legally incorporated on February 7, 2006, and operated out of Hagee's hometown of
San Antonio, Texas, CUFI is focused on communicating the perceived need for closer links between Christian ministries in America and the state of Israel.
CUFI and its July 2006 Summit were instrumental in the founding of
Israel Allies Caucus in the
United States Congress.
[citation needed]
The first college chapter of Christians United for Israel has recently been established at
California State University, Bakersfield. More "CUFI on Campus" chapters are planned.
[5]
"Christians United for Israel" was originally formed in 1992 by David Lewis. After a period of inactivity, Hagee sought and received permission from Lewis to use the title for his own organization.
[6]
Main objectives
- To educate and build Christian support for Israel throughout America: CUFI seeks to rally evangelical Christians in support of Israel for biblical and moral reasons. CUFI pursues this goal through the distribution of literature, DVDs, Middle East Briefings, and holding annual Nights to Honor Israel in communities throughout the country.
Activities
A Night to Honor Israel
A "non-conversionary" tribute to the nation of Israel and the Jewish people of the world. Its purpose is to promote respect and understanding between Christians and
Jews to emphasize that the beliefs the religions hold in common are greater than the differences.
Washington/Israel Summit
CUFI holds an annual summit to enable delegates to personally speak with their representatives on behalf of Israel. In response to particular current events, CUFI also mobilizes its members through Rapid Response Alerts to raise popular support for Israel and lobby the
U.S. Congress in support of Israel.
National Night to Honor Israel 2008, 2009, 2010
On July 22 CUFI held their 2008 National Night to Honor Israel. Ambassador
Dan Gillerman, Pastor
John Hagee and Senator
Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) spoke with live music interludes. Senator Lieberman opened his speech by saying "I am your brother Joseph." In his speech Lieberman re-affirmed his support for CUFI, Israel and Pastor Hagee. In addition Hagee cleared up some myths regarding his beliefs on Israel.
[meaning ISRAEL DOESN'T NEED JESUS, SINCE THERE IS A SEPARATE DISPENSATION FOR THEM] The attendance, which many thought would be down from previous years, exceeded all expectations. With the Washington DC Convention Center packed from front to back without an open seat in sight attendees waved American and Israeli flags in support for CUFI, America and the State of Israel. For the first time CUFI hosted several prominent Catholic leaders in a show of unity between Pastor Hagee and the Catholic Church. Father Roger Hunter-Hall spoke and praised CUFI and Pastor Hagee.
Pastor Hagee said when the fabricated statements regarding his beliefs on the Catholic Church [huh? he's ON RECORD saying ROME IS THE GREAT HARLOT - WHICH IS IT HAGEE?] surfaced he did something that the media wasn't expecting, they acted like Christians. Hagee and the head of the Catholic League met and quickly realized they were being pitted against each other by their enemies for political gain. CUFI held an annual Washington Summit July 20–23, 2009. The most recent CUFI annual Washington Summit took place on July 20–22, 2010. Israeli PM Netanyahu addressed the gathering by videoconference.
