The Battle for Truth and Faith 0:02 We wanna honor God because He sees everything.0:10 You were born with a plan and a purpose. He's the God of all things possible. He's the God of all0:22 miracles.0:52 Welcome to Grace Grace with Naina Michelle. I'm Michelle Humphries.0:55 And I am Naina Keegan. Welcome to the broadcast today. Today, we have a very important guest coming to us from Israel with the truth, the truth that we need to hear. Michelle1:06 Yes. You wanted to intro. So much distortion going around the globe about Israel, and this man is standing on the front lines. He is a content1:18 creator for TBN, for Israel. He is a dynamic host. Will you please welcome Yair Pinto? Thank you so much for being on the program, Yair.1:30 Well, thank you so much for having me. I remember meeting you in Dallas, Texas at the MLB, and, this is my first time on the show. So I'm really excited, and I'm happy to have1:42 this platform to share what's happening on the ground. You know, when this war started around 2 years ago, I was called together with, you know, hundreds of thousands of1:54 Israeli civilians to be back into the army to defend our country against terrorists that attacked us on multiple fronts. But I didn't realize that this war is also fought2:06 on the battlefront of the truth because just a few days after the attacks, Israel became the bad guys. And all the international media reports started spreading lies2:18 about the people of Israel, about what's happening in the Gaza Strip, and basically about everything related to what's happening in this region. So that's when we started also broadcasting.2:30 It was with the phone in the beginning and reaching people from the front lines. I was an officer, in the Gaza Strip back then, and I shared what's happening every day and encourage2:42 people to pray for the situation. And, I think this is the most important battle that Israel is facing now. It's the battles for the truth so that people will know what's happening and will know how to2:53 pray for the situation and for the peace of Jerusalem.2:57 Amen. I, Yair, I was watching 1 of your broadcast, and you were talking about how Hamas is literally sending forth children into the battle zone in hopes3:08 that the Israeli army will kill them and that they would have footage and blame and say they're they're killing children. They're literally using children as pawns. And so you were talking about that. Could you speak to3:20 because people need to hear this, the what what's happening, that they're actually doing this to children.3:25 Yes. And this is just the the tip of the iceberg because Hamas is basically training the whole next generation in the Gaza Strip to hate Israel.3:37 Their entire tactic is to place their underground terror facilities underneath hospital, underneath schools. They stole their weapons in the3:49 children's rooms in the Gaza Strip. And I'm not just saying this because I heard reports. I've been there inside the Gaza Strip, and I found these missiles, and I saw the coloring books that they4:01 give the children to color how they attack soldiers, how to murder IDF soldiers, painting these ladies and the Jews as monsters. It's basically4:13 the same brainwash ideology as Nazi Germany. That's what Hamas is doing. And sadly, the world is buying into it and also is projecting them4:24 as the good guys, a terrorist organization that vows to destroy the Jewish people, the people of Israel, and then also the United States of America and Western civilization at large.4:36 But they somehow became the good guys in this situation. And just to say to emphasize more on what you're saying, they are sending their civilians and their children to the4:48 areas that the IDF soldiers are positioned in the Gaza Strip. And they know that these areas are areas that nobody should go to because it's a war zone. So5:00 civilians that approach the soldiers can get shot because if you're a soldier and you're protecting your duty and you have all deals that no civilian should approach you, then you think it might be a5:12 suicide bomber or a terrorist. And that's what they try to do. So they are sending these children so that a soldier might shoot them, and then the world will say, oh,5:24 the IDF soldiers are targeting and murdering innocent civilians in the Gaza Strip. And then Hamas wins again. And that's their tactic. That's why their bases, in5:35 hospitals, in schools, in mosques, and in humanitarian aid organization buildings.5:41 Cowardice. That is their their goal is to control the narrative. And I I think about, like, you and what it must have been like on5:53 October eighth. Here you were probably having a pretty normal life, and then October eighth happens, and then you're called back in. You're called into the military. What was that like for6:04 you?6:07 So I I remember that. It was just like yesterday, basically. It was a Simchatovah, which is the Jewish high holiday that we celebrate completing the reading of the Bible,6:19 of the Torah. And we just finished. We had a big family meal the night before, so everybody was were sleeping in. And then we woke up in the morning to the sirens6:31 alarms because rockets were coming from the Gaza Strip towards Israel. And then at that time, we thought, okay. Rockets. Sadly, we got used to rockets coming from Gaza towards6:43 Israel for more than 10 years, even before October 7. And we thought, okay. So rockets, they're doing it again. But then we hear reports about terrorists infiltrating6:55 into Israel, and we hear more reports about hostages being taken from their houses back into the Gaza Strip. And then the numbers come, and thousands of terrorists are in Israel.7:07 Thousands of Israelis murdered, and hundreds were kidnapped into the Gaza Strip. And in this chaotic situation, I need to pack my bag, put on my7:19 boots, my uniform, which every almost every Israeli have them in his house, in a room somewhere. Because after you finish your 3 years of mandatory military service, you are still7:31 part of the IDF reserve, units until the age of 45. So I knew that this is what I had to do. I got a phone call from my commander, and7:42 I packed my bags and went to my to my base for an unknown amount of time. Had to leave my wife, 3 kids. At the time, I had my youngest was 37:54 months old.7:55 Wow.7:56 So it was very tough to leave my wife alone in this situation when just behind me, you have Palestinian villages because Israel is very small and you have, you know, Judea and Samaria,8:08 which is adjacent to Israeli communities. So it was very unclear and and hard time, especially the first few days of this war.8:18 Yair, we're gonna take a quick break, and we're gonna come right back and and talk more about this.

I drink Rev 7 every day, and I absolutely love it, and so will you.9:26 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle, and we are here with Yair Pinter Pinto straight out of Israel, and he is is just telling it like it is. He's been there. He's been on the front lines even since the9:38 attack on October seventh, and so he knows what's really going on there. And so, I know you were a tank commander. You've been right there. You've witnessed what them stealing the, the the aid the humanitarian9:50 aid that that is coming in, that Hamas is stealing and then using the selling it and using the funds to promote this evil and promote these wars and and, you10:02 know, when you all had to leave, like, what was that like for, like, your wife and your family? Because this was so unheard of. Usually Israel with the Iron Dome and everything is so protected that you wouldn't have10:12 expected that many people to infiltrate, you know, your nation.10:18 Yeah. We were we were not ready, for that invasion. We thought that the enemy was afraid that our technological advances will be enough10:30 to protect us. But very fast, we realized that you must have boots on the ground. You must have soldiers protecting the borders. And the good thing about Israel10:42 is that we don't have the option of losing any kind of war because the time that we lose a war will be the last time that Israel exists because our enemies, and we have many,10:54 they all seek to destroy Israel. So on October seventh, the whole nation became united, and people joined the army. We had, like, percentage11:06 of people coming to Diomi more than a hundred percent, meaning that people that were even exempt from doing their reserve military service came from out of the country and volunteered.11:19 So the people of Israel basically took manners into their own hands and protected the country and pushed back these terrorists. And from being under attack from11:30 7 different fronts, we are now winning. Okay. So we were attacked by Hezbollah in Lebanon, and now Hezbollah is almost completely defeated. It is not posing a major11:42 threat to Israel any longer. We were attacked by, terrorists from Syria, and now the Syrian regime that was backed by Iran has collapsed. We were attacked by11:54 Iranian militias in Iraq that no longer pose a threat. Now the only 2 fronts that are active, the Houthis in Yemen, which are launching missiles at us, and12:06 then the Palestinian terrorist organizations in the Gaza Strip that still hold our hostages. So, I mean, god is good. It's just a miracle to see that against12:18 all odds, and I'm talking about 7 different fronts, god was faithful, and we are still here. We are winning. And not because of our technological abilities. We saw that they they're not enough to protect us. It's because12:30 God is faithful Amen. To his to his promises, to the people of Israel. And I think that he's using Israel because we're always on the news, and we're always in in the in the face of12:41 everybody. So God is using Israel to show the world that he's a faithful God and that he's performing amazing miracles, biblical scale level miracles in our days, in12:53 modern days.12:54 Mhmm.12:54 So it's very encouraging for all of us to know that we serve an amazing God, that he's faithful to a promise that he gave to his, you know, people, the people of Israel, thousands and thousands of years13:06 ago, and he still keeps it today. So he'll be faithful to the his promise to you and to everybody who's watching and believes in it.13:14 Well, you know, the Bible says, as you know, that God watches over his word to perform it. And there is so much about Israel, and God is proving faithful,13:27 to his word. And and and and he is being so faithful to Israel. And I know you're a believer in Jesus, and so tell us how that13:38 happened.13:41 Well, so it's a it's a long story, but, in Israel, the percentage of followers of Yeshua, of Jewish believers in Jesus, is very, very small.13:53 So you have, in the whole population of the country, maybe 15000 people who believe in Jesus, maybe 30000. So it's kind of like a 0.0001 percent14:03 Wow.14:04 Believers in Jesus out of the country. So, I mean, I was blessed to be, in a family that my mother became a believer in Jesus after her military service. She14:16 actually, discovered the Lord in Europe after the army. And but growing up in Israel, I mean, it's not easy to to follow Jesus because you're14:27 always the odd ones. Yeah. And I had to make a decision for myself, and I did that right before the army. Because I was a bit shy with my faith up until14:40 the age of 16 because I didn't want to be different than all my my classmates, all my teammates, because I was always the only 1 who believes in Jesus. And when they realized that, they gave me a14:52 very, very hard time. But they gave me a hard time not because of what I believed, but mainly because I didn't share it with them, and I was ashamed of my faith. So when I joined the IDF when I15:03 was 18 after high school, I had a a second chance because you are with an entire new group of people. So I said, I'm gonna read my Bible that has the new15:15 testament to it, which is not a common thing in Israel.15:18 Not the Torah.15:19 Right? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So both the the old testament and the new testament in my bed, and I'm gonna share with people that I believe in Yeshua Hamashiach, in Jesus the Messiah.15:31 And I was the only believer in my base, but I had the options to share with everybody what I believe. And I realized that people respect you if you are15:42 proud of your beliefs and if you walk with faith. And then God also blessed me with the option to share his love with the entire base. And very fast, I became, you know, the representative of15:54 Jesus in the tanks unit in the base. God. And, and I was also, doing well in the army, so I became an officer. And then, you know, I don't16:06 know. It's a it's a but god bless the16:09 You were a tank commander. Correct? A tank commander, I read?16:13 I I I tank platoon commander. Yes.16:15 So 3 tanks. Wow. And so think about that. Like, if people started to hear the word of God, you know, you're planting the seeds. God does the heavy lifting. You know, he's gonna get to them. But, you know, also, the16:27 hedge of protection that would have been around you as a believer, you know, that people would start to probably realize, especially if you think about how do you explain the 99 percent of the especially if you think16:34 about how do you explain the 99 percent of the missiles launched at Israel were were, you know, rejected by the Iron Dome. That's like an unheard of amount that people16:46 dead hate.16:47 Yeah. They were saying that was literally a miracle. And so, you know, it's good for you to be able to be in that you know, God strategically placed you, you know, in there with your with with your faith16:59 to be that hedge.17:00 I'm so glad you're standing up for the Lord, in in everything that you're doing. And in just a moment, we are gonna come back, for more. So stay with us. You're17:12 watching Grace Grace with 9 and Michelle.17:14 Hello, everyone.

I drink Rev 7 every day, and I absolutely love it, and so will you.18:15 Welcome back to Grace Grace with Naina and Michelle and our wonderful guest coming to us live from Jerusalem late in the evening here. You're you're being on with us, so it's really late for you. But we're so18:26 grateful for Yair Pinto. So tell us, Yair, like, how did, you know, that all manifest God? Like, how did God work that out for you? Like, what happened,18:38 with your relationship with him during these difficult times?18:43 Yeah. So I think that what I learned from this very challenging experience is that never it doesn't matter the consequences and18:54 that situation you are in. God can use you in that situation to do amazing things for his glory. Amen. Okay? And to help him share his love.19:06 And I was in a situation of uncertainty. We were under attack. I had to leave my wife and 3 kids alone and just go to battle to the front lines, not knowing19:18 why, not knowing what the future holds, not knowing for how long. But I did what I feel like. I felt that god is telling me, you need to share what is19:30 happening in Israel with people around the world and ask them to pray for the situation. So I had a phone with me, and that's what I did. And then god19:42 multiplied that into reaching millions of people around the world with what is happening in Israel. And these people prayed for us, for the soldiers, for19:54 Israel at a time where the whole world was against us. And not only I think that blessed Israel supernaturally, I also had the opportunity to share this with20:06 fellow IDF soldiers in the middle of the Gaza Strip that thought that they were all alone, that nobody cares about them, that everybody is against Israel. And they would see me20:18 with my phone taking the daily updates and creating the videos in Gaza. And they was, what are you doing? Who are you talking to? Because nobody cares about us. We're all alone. Everybody is against us. And I would20:29 say, no. You're mistaken. There are millions of bible believing Christians around the world that are praying for you, that are praying for your safety, for you to win20:41 this war, and for the people of Israel. So Wow. I wanna encourage people that whatever situation you are facing, how hard it may be, seek to20:53 understand what God wants you to do. But don't seek, like, something huge. Seek 1 small step that God is telling you. Take that step, and then you will open the doors to something21:05 way bigger than what you would ever imagine that you had for your life. So that's something that I learned in this process. I'm still in the middle of this process. I don't know what God has in store for me, you21:17 know, for the future, but, for sure, it's gonna be an exciting journey because it always is a lot more exciting than what you have planned for yourself.21:25 It always21:25 is. You know, walking in faith.21:27 Yeah. Amen.21:28 It's always bigger than what you you thought it was going to be. And we're so proud of you for standing for the Lord and for encouraging others that feel like they're all by themselves and21:40 like they're all alone in the world because there's no greater friend to Israel, I don't think, than the American church. I mean, we love Israel. We will stand with Israel. We are21:52 trying to get the truth out about Israel. And we know that this, like the Bible says, that that our battle is not against flesh and blood but against principalities and rulers and22:03 wickedness and high places. And when you think about how God has been so faithful to Israel and how the devil himself through the ages22:15 has come against God's people. You you just have to know that prayer is the only answer really.22:22 Yeah.22:22 And so how can our audience pray for you, Yair? Okay.22:29 So what I tell people when they ask me, like, how to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, I say, our God is a personal God. So when you pray, always make22:41 it personal. Okay? Because it's very hard to pray for the peace of Jerusalem, this place that you've never visited or you only read about in the bible. You need to make22:53 it personal. So when you pray, you need to pick an IDF soldier or a hostage that is kept in the Gaza Strip by Hamas for more than23:05 600 days. Pray for his family. Pray for him to have a moment of happiness in all of this terrible situation that he's in. A prayerful wisdom23:17 to your leaders and wisdom to our leaders because they're in also in an impossible situation. Make your prayer personal. And if you do not know what to23:29 pray about, I mean, ask God to show you. Ask God to show you what he wants you to pray for in this situation, and you will know. And on the23:40 second note of this, we talked about sharing the truth. So it's important to know what's happening truthfully in order to know how to pray for the situation. And I think23:52 this is what I've been doing and my team at TB in Israel have been doing since this war began, and that's sharing the truth from Israel by being here,24:05 boots on the ground, on the front lines, and everything with the viewers so that they will know what's happening and that they will know how to pray for the situation. Amen.24:16 So major point, make it personal. Yes.24:20 Do you mind praying for our viewers as we have about 2 minutes left? And, so so that, they can hear your prayers straight from Jerusalem for the24:30 Amazing. Okay. Okay. Thank you. Grace and Grace. Our father in heaven, thank you for all the viewers in of Grace and Grace24:42 in America. Thank you for their eagerness to seek for the truth and for praying for the peace of Jerusalem. God, thank you that you24:53 listen to prayers. Thank you that prayers walk and that you are performing amazing miracles, biblical scale miracles in modern days. And25:05 thank you for being faithful to your promises to the people of Israel, and thank you for being faithful to your promises to the viewers and to everybody who believes in you. We are25:17 all in terrible situations sometimes in our lives, but we know that you can turn these hard times into amazing opportunities to share your love. So please25:28 bless, everybody who's watching, and thank you for standing with Israel. Keep praying for the peace of Jerusalem. Amen.25:40 Amen. We are so grateful that you were on today, and we love your story. Can you tell people how they can find you?25:50 Yes. So the easiest way is to go to YouTube and write TBN Israel. We have a YouTube channel, and we're uploading daily content from Israel on the situation.26:03 And, you can also watch on, on TBN every Thursday. It's a show called Boots on the Ground, 9 30 PM, I think, eastern time. So26:13 Thank you.26:14 TV in Israel.26:15 Awesome. We are so grateful. God bless you, and we're gonna be praying for you for sure. So thank you for watching. God bless you. In Jesus' name, we're just praying for Israel together. Does science disprove26:27 God? Is there a war between science and faith?26:30 We don't need God to create a universe. There's no evidence for God, and it's irrational.26:34 Is there no evidence for God?26:36 Am I delusional for my beliefs?26:38 It is delusional and stupid.26:40 Am I brainwashed?26:41 Do I ignore reason?26:43 Logic. Critical thinking. Science.26:59 RDOF uses logic and reasoning.27:03 RDOF has empowered my sons to defend their faith with facts.27:07 If you want to be equipped to defend against the biggest objections to the existence of God, RDOF is the place for you.27:17 Has science really ruled out God? Is faith at war with science? If you wanna be equipped to respond to these claims and more, check out r d o f dot org.27:35 The evidence he presents is so powerful and overwhelming.27:38 Incredibly compelling, yet easily understandable.27:42 We believe in rationality. We believe in reason. We believe in science, existence of God.27:49 I would leave every event with a mind boggling awe and assurance.27:54 I never believed in God. I just think it was craziness. RDOF confirmed my faith. RDOF confirmed my, full belief, full faith in the Lord, man.28:05 The appearance of design in the universe is undeniable.28:12 The lights, the crowd, the videos.28:18 To book a presentation or watch our free videos, go to r d o f dot org or find us on Facebook at RDOF events.In this video 0:00 The Battle for Truth and Faith28:30
