Mighty Miracle of God’s Amazing Protection during Car Accident

Supernatural ProtectionSupernatural ProtectionDear family & friends in Christ,

On Sunday 6th of March 2011 just before our Sunday morning service, we at CTFM were informed that 2 of our elders (husband & wife) were in a major car accident on the freeway in Melbourne and that they both came out of the accident with only minor injuries. We were thanking God for saving them both.

However, later that night when we watched News on TV and saw what had really happened at the accident scene and the total destruction of the car, we were just speechless.

It is an amazing miracle that the 2 of them are still alive and giving all the glory to God!

The police and the emergency workers had a double shock. First that the 2 of them were alive. One policeman asked them, “Where is the driver of the car?”  He could not believe that he was talking to the driver.  Secondly, the 2 of them started sharing Jesus to everyone, and how He had miraculously saved them. They even witnessed the love of Jesus and encouraged the driver who caused the accident!

Glorious 2nd Credentialing Service at CTFM in Melbourne, Australia

Some of the congregation worshipping at the altarPr Daniel and wife Maryse with some of the newly credentialed ministersDear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,

1) We thank and praise Jesus our Lord and Saviour for His awesome presence on Sunday the 10th of April at the CTFM 2nd Credentialing Service in Melbourne, Australia where 18 men & woman of God received their ordination into the 5-Fold Ministry in the Body of Christ for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

This very special service started off with wonderful praise and worship led by the CTFM worship team. During the worship many came up to the altar and soaked in the presence of God. Some were kneeling, some were sitting on the floor, some were lying prostrate on the floor, some were waving banners and others with their hands lifted up were just simply worshipping Jesus. It was so great to see people expressing their hearts to Jesus in their own way!

Many at the altar also received prayer and were mightily touched by the Spirit of God as Pr Daniel laid hands on each person and prayed for them. The anointing of the Lord was so tangible that many were weeping in His presence. Oh, what a mighty God we serve!

Pr Daniel shared the prophetic Word of the Lord, speaking on “It is Time for Change” and challenged the people of God to get ready for change, to rise up for Jesus.

Are You a Sheep or a Goat in the Imperfect Church?

Thursday, 31 March 2011 – by Jennifer LeClaire of Charisma Magazine

You know the drill. It was the end of a long workday. I was racing from one errand to another before it was time to pick up my daughter for our dinner date. I didn’t have a moment to spare…

So when Richard, a disheveled character with enough sand on his face to nearly disguise the scar on his cheek, approached me asking for money to buy food, it took me a minute to catch on to what the Lord was doing. I honestly didn’t have as much as a penny in my pocket and apologetically told him so. After Richard walked on by, it suddenly dawned on me that I was standing in front of an ATM machine!

“Hey mister!” I cried out after him.

Richard turned around slowly as I raced up to him with my debit card in hand. We were standing in front of a Subway, so I invited him inside for a meal. Richard had a grateful heart, but also an aching one. He hugged and kissed me and thanked me profusely for the double meatball and tuna fish footlong sub—then he dropped the “S” bomb. Richard told me he wanted to kill himself.

“Brother, do you know where you’ll go when you die?”

Republicans launch bill to jail Muslims who follow Sharia law

Proposal: Republican Senator Bill Ketron, 57, has put forward a bill to make following some forms of Sharia law a crime punishable by a 15-year jail sentenceBy Daily Mail Reporter - 2nd March 2011

A conservative group has put together the boldest legal attempt yet to limit how Muslims worship in America.

The Tennessee group, led by Republican Senator Bill Ketron, 57, has proposed a bill to make following some versions of Sharia law a crime punishable by 15 years in jail.

They are concerned extremist Muslims want Sharia to supersede the Constitution, but the bill would probably face steep constitutional hurdles if it is enacted.

Half of Brazil’s Population to be Evangelical Christian by 2020

Feb. 20 2011 – Andrea Marcela Madambashi – Christian Post Correspondent
 
An international missions organization reports that evangelicals are expected to reach 57.4 million in Brazil this year in accordance with the evangelical annual growth rate of 7.42 percent.

Researchers at “Servindo aos Pastores e Líderes” (SEPAL) announced this 2011 figure last Monday based on findings from its groundbreaking study last year that predicted Brazil’s evangelical growth rate over the next decade.

SEPAL had conducted this study utilizing results from Brazil’s Census 2000 survey by the Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics) and other information from a March 2007 study conducted by Datafolha, a major domestic information firm.

Based on figures obtained from both sources, SEPAL concluded that over half of the nation’s population will be evangelical in less than a decade.

“We believe 52 per cent of the population will be evangelical by 2020, or about 109.3 million evangelicals within a total population of 209.3 million,” said SEPAL researcher Luis André Brunet, in an interview with The Christian Post this week.

Australia: Gunmen spray Hindu temple with bullets

Sydney Morning Herald

The attacks have been in retaliation for noise and parking problems, says the Sydney Morning Herald.

In reality, they are more likely in retaliation for the Hindus’ irritating refusal to worship Allah alone and acknowledge Muhammad as his prophet. Islamic Tolerance Alert: “Gunshots prompt prayers for peace,” by Eamonn Duff and Natalie O’Brien in the Sydney Morning Herald, April 3 (thanks to Hindu Existence).

IT BEGAN with minor acts of vandalism, including egg throwing and smashed windows, but instead of remaining periodic footnotes in the night log at Auburn police station, the incidents have grown so violent – and the issue so culturally sensitive – that even authorities are reluctant to speak about them publicly.
Australia’s oldest Hindu temple, the Sri Mandir in Auburn, is under siege and its devotees gripped by fear.

On March 19, two men in balaclavas stood at the intersection of a nearby road, spraying the front of the prayer hall with eight rounds of bullets. The building was unoccupied at the time. (more…)

Japan’s Tragedy Turns Spiritual

Japan Recoveryby Teresa Neumann : Mar 21, 2011 : Mission Network News

“People are engaging in spiritual conversation with strangers. That’s just not typical.”

REPORTER’S NOTE: Although the governor of Tokyo is on record as saying he feared God might be punishing the Japanese people, we at BCN do not jump to that conclusion. Yes, God can punish sin, but given that every people group and every nation on the face of the earth is sinful, the world should have ceased to exist long ago. Above all, God is full of grace and mercy, and His heart is toward the Japanese people in this hour, wanting to draw them to Himself. -Teresa Neumann, BCN.

(Japan)—Warren Janzen, the International Director of SEND International, gave a sobering update on the situation in Japan this week, but notes that the disaster is now taking on a “spiritual tone.”

Janzen said the the governor of Tokyo, Shintaro Ishihara, made a public statement that he feared the Japanese were being “punished.”

“To have a public figure of his stature make a statement like that,” he said, “opens up a public discussion on spiritual things.”

“Some of our missionaries are going out on the street,” he continued, “talking to random people, talking about the earthquake, the tsunami, and the nuclear situation there. People are engaging in spiritual conversation with strangers. That’s just not typical.”

Janzen was also quoted as saying it’s a kairos moment for Japan. “We believe this an appointed time in the presence of God,” he said.

Heaven Is For Real—a Little Boy Shares His Experience “in Heaven”

Colton went to Heaven and came back to earthby Aimee Herd : Mar 16, 2011 : KWGN.com

“His experience in Heaven hasn’t changed [my] son, but because Colton was so young when it happened it has defined his life.” -Todd Burpo

Todd and Sonja Burpo of Imperial, Nebraska were visiting Colorado with their 3-year-old son Colton, when he began complaining of a stomach ache. Despite suggestions of possible appendicitis, he was dismissed, but returned to a hospital two days later, and was eventually rushed into surgery.

It was discovered that his appendix had burst some five days before he was finally diagnosed.

Now his life hung by a thread and his parents hit their knees in prayer. Miraculously, little Colton survived. And, after a couple of surgeries and a difficult recovery, their boy bounced back.

The Koran Riots in Afghanistan: An Indictment of All Islam

NewsReal ^ | April 1, 2011 | Rob Taylor

Posted on Saturday, April 02, 2011 by TheHawksNest

7 United Nations workers were murdered by a crowd of angry Muslims in Afghanistan during protests organized by religious leaders. The clerics drove through the city of Mazar-i-Sharif with loud speakers, demanding that Muslims “protest” the burning of a Koran by a Florida pastor.  Two of the UN workers were beheaded.

The leftist media here is placing the blame squarely on Koran burner Terry Jones while desperately clinging to the myth of the peaceful Muslim protest that “just got out of control”–no doubt hijacked by a that tiny minority of extremists the media thinks is responsible for over 1,000 years of Islamic Imperialism. But when the Left here makes excuses for Muslim barbarity they ignore reality and the internal drives of unreformed Islam that make Muslims predisposed to mayhem and violence.

There is no other religious group on Earth that murders and rapes more people whenever they feel attacked and insulted nor is there one that attacks and insults other religions as regularly. While the Muslims in Afghanistan murdered innocent people because one man in Florida burned a Koran, Saudi authorities tortured and arrested two Indian Christians for praying. During the arrest Saudi religious police trampled the victims’ Bibles and tore the holy books. (more…)

Young Footy players coming to Jesus / CTFM Credentialing Service

Young Footy players and others surrender to Jesus in Culcairn, NSWPr Daniel ministering in Culcairn, NSWDear family & friends in Christ,

1) We thank and praise our Heavenly Father for another wonderful weekend of advancing the Kingdom of God, not by might, nor by power, but by the Spirit of the Lord of hosts!

I’m sure you too would have had a great weekend in your church glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ, died, risen, ascended, soon coming King of Kings and LORD of lords!

At CTFM in Hallam, VIC we had 2 visiting ministers with Pastor Jacob from India in the morning service and Pastor Bernard from Malaysia at the evening service. The Spirit of God moved very powerfully at both services as many were mightily touched and blessed through the anointed word of the Lord and some amazing testimonies from these two humble servants of God.  One of the Christian ministers shared how he was a Hindu before God supernaturally touched him and he surrendered his life to Jesus.
                                                                                                                                                          
Last Thursday night, Evangelist Jason from CTFM ministered in a Holy Spirit revival outpouring at an AOG church in Cranbourne, VIC where people were born-again into the Kingdom of God, miraculously healed, delivered, set free from demonic spirits of depression and others, receiving the mighty baptism of the Holy Spirit and Fire to Rise Up Australia and the Nations for the 2nd coming of Jesus!

Over the weekend, Pr Daniel and a team from CTFM ministered in Culcairn & Holbrook, NSW where people from 6 different churches attended the Holy Spirit meetings, including some from the Catholic and Lutheran churches. All glory to God for bringing the body of Christ together!

Algeria: Where Revival Refuses to Cease

Church remains after Muslim attackby Aidan Clay : Feb 28, 2011 : ASSIST News

“During that year we went to villages where there were no Christians, we prayed for the village, and after a few months we would hear that there were Believers there. People had dreams, visions; some of them discovered Christian radio programs. We didn’t share the Gospel directly with many people, but God in His way, preached the Gospel. It was like an explosion in all the Kabylie area and it’s continuing now.” -Pastor Raba.

(Tizi Ouzou, Algeria)—As reported in Assist News, last year, an angry mob damaged the Tafat Church in Tizi Ouzou. International Christian Concern (ICC), a Washington DC-based human rights organization, visited Algeria, including Tizi Ouzou, just months after the attack on Tafat Church. The purpose for the visit was to encourage Algeria’s Christians and assist their unmet needs, but as happens more often than not when meeting with persecuted brethren, it was ICC who came away more encouraged.

Meeting with house church pastors in remote villages in the beautiful Kabylie Mountains, they shared stories of God’s work amongst their people and reminisced about Algeria’s great—and enduring—20 year revival.

A Brave Servant of Christ Pays the Ultimate Price for His Courage

Pakistanti Minister Martyred for defending Christianityby Aimee Herd : Mar 3, 2011 : Michelle A. Vu – Christian Post

“I am mindful that in the struggle to protect the religious freedom, the rights of minorities…I can be assassinated. I can be killed. But I will continue to follow the principles that I believe. I will continue to raise the voice of the voiceless. And I will not feel fear because of these threats because I follow Jesus Christ who has given His own life for us….” –Shahbaz Bhatti

The Pakistani Minister for Minorities, Shahbaz Bhatti—who worked tirelessly on behalf of Christians and minorities in Pakistan, to give them a voice and try to gain their protection—was gunned down reportedly by the Taliban, on Wednesday, March 2nd. (Photo: Reuters/Faisal Mahmood)

Perhaps he somehow knew something might happen that day since he told his security guards—who usually travel with him—to stay home.

Bhatti had indeed been receiving death threats, according to a Christian Post interview, after speaking out against Pakistan’s blasphemy laws which had been used as the basis for the arrest of Asia Bibi, a Christian mother of five.
