For the first time in their lives, these true blue Aussies experienced the amazing love of God and the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit!

Where are the miracles?

Moses parting the Red SeaBy Greg Laurie

September 04, 2010 WorldNetDaily

A mother who was reading some Bible stories to her young daughter was telling her about the great heroes of the Bible like Moses, Joshua, Deborah, Elijah, Daniel and others. After listening to these stories for a little while, the girl said, “You know, Mommy, God was a lot more exciting back then.”

That is how some of us might feel: Wow, those were the good old days, but God isn’t working any longer. Why aren’t things happening like that today? Where are his miracles?

The Bible records a time in Israel’s history when people were feeling that way. Approximately 200 years had passed since Joshua led the Israelites in their famous march around the walls of Jericho. By God’s power, those walls had fallen, and the people of Israel had conquered many of the inhabitants of Canaan, including the Amorites, Hittites, Ammonites and Jebusites. The problem was they didn’t finish the job. God told Israel to drive out all the inhabitants of the land, but they did not do it. So 200 years later, the Midianites came to haunt Israel. Their army was gigantic, far outnumbering the army of Israel.

The Israelites would plant their crops, and when it was almost harvest time, the Midianites would ride in on their camels, tear out the crops, destroy them and leave the Israelites with basically nothing. This would happen year after year after year, because Israel had disobeyed God and was facing the consequences of its actions. God had allowed the Midianites to oppress the Israelites because of their worship of false gods. Effectively they had brought this on themselves.

Iranian Pastors Risk Lives for Training

Inspire Iranian PastorsWednesday, 01 September 2010 EDT Valerie G. Lowe News – Featured News   

If the Iranian government knew Christians were learning how to grow a church in the middle of their Muslim nation, the converts could lose their freedom—or worse, their lives.

But that hasn’t stopped pastors with the underground church in Iran from secretly attending classroom sessions led by Dave Anderson, a founder and longtime trainer for EQUIP, the organization led by Christian leadership guru John Maxwell.

Deaf ears open, Gift of Tongues, and Salvations with Mighty Anointing of Holy Spirit in Sydney services

Pr Daniel with Indonesian Youth in SydneyWoman receives partial healing from deafnessDear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the Nations of the World,

How can we adequately explain the awesome miracle working power of the Holy Spirit?

We are running out of words!

If the trickle of His Holy Spirit anointing is so great, just imagine what it will be like when His full manifest presence and glory comes down from heaven to earth!

We are surely heading into a great season of mighty revival fires in Australia and across the Nations of the World!

This past weekend gone by once again saw many people healed, delivered and set free through the anointing of the Holy Spirit as Pr Daniel ministered in Sydney at an Indonesian Church and an AOG church.

On Saturday night there were more than 150+ youth / young adults at the service as Pr Daniel challenged these young men and women of God to rise up and be a true soldier in the army of Jesus, willing to lay down their lives in order to win lost souls back to the Father in heaven.

The response was wonderful as almost all the youth / young adults came to the altar with tears, as many cried out to Jesus from the bottom of their hearts and made a commitment to go all the way to serve the Lord, even if it cost them their lives, just like nearly all the Apostles of the Lamb and martyrs for Christ throughout the history of the Gospel.

Pope to tell British MPs to show more respect for the rights of Christians

The PopeBy Steve Doughty Last updated on 15th September 2010 Mail Online

Pope Benedict XVI has criticised Labour’s Equality Act, which he denounced as ‘sinful’

The Pope will use a key speech during his state visit to tell British authorities to show more respect for Christianity, Church leaders warned last night.

Benedict XVI, who arrives tomorrow for his tour of England and Scotland, is to call on the state to have ‘an open and positive attitude towards religious faith’.

His remarks amount to a criticism of politicians who have allowed equality laws to trump religious beliefs, in some cases preventing Christians displaying their faith at work.

Earlier this year the Pope denounced as sinful Labour’s Equality Act  -  which is likely to be put into operation by the Coalition this autumn.

Archbishop of Westminster Vincent Nichols, the head of the Roman Catholic Church for England and Wales, last night warned that the pontiff would be critical of British law in his speech at Westminster Hall.

‘He will want to explore the role of religious faith in modern democratic societies,’ Archbishop Nichols said. ‘While he will recognise the importance of institutions being secular, he expects secular institutions to have an open and positive attitude to religious faith.’

Explosive Growth of Christianity is Changing China

Chinese Christians worship Jesusby Teresa Neumann : Sep 15, 2010 : Christopher Landau – BBC

“There is no small irony in the party’s new-found enthusiasm for supporting the development of religion in China, given Communism’s commitment to atheism.”

Founder’s Note: We can barely explain how much growth in eastern countries there is for Christ. Who knew? My dad was born in China to non-Chinese missionary parents. My parents adopted a Chinese boy. He became a great surgeon in the United States. My niece goes to China on business. Someday my wife and I will visit too. –Steve and Derene Shultz

(China) – The BBC reports that communist rulers in China have radically altered their views about religion and as a result, Christianity is growing in China as never before. The caveat is that the closely limited new freedoms are only granted to those Christians willing to worship in government-sanctioned churches.

The director general of the State Administration for Religious Affairs, Wang Zuo An, was quoted as saying there are now at least 20 million Christians in China worshipping in the state-sanctioned church.

“Such growth is unprecedented in the history of Christianity in China. Christianity is enjoying its best period of growth in China,” he said, adding that, “On the question of whether there is God, the Chinese Communist Party believes there is no God in the world.”

Rev. John Zhang, a Catholic priest, said: “Some officials say, ‘You have done for Chinese society what we cannot do. Without any political involvement, the Church is doing a good job, and we from government appreciate it.'”

The report noted that house – or underground – churches remain a “significant part of the Chinese Christian landscape,” but “both the Catholic and Protestant churches sanctioned by the state are now also seeing levels of growth that few predicted in the 1980s.”

Said one young Chinese Christian student, “I think this nation will change, and I think God is doing great things in China.”

Should Christians participate in Halloween?

Children in Halloween costumes of vampires, soldier, and otherDear friends and family in Christ in Australia and around the World,

We’re forwarding the following email so that you can help your children and others who are ignorant of the dark side of Halloween. We as Christians should not celebrate Halloween and we must boldly speak out against it.

Satan is very subtly brainwashing the next generation to embrace what is evil.

We as the Church must stand up against it. If not, no one else will. 

Isaiah 60:1-2, “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.” (NKJ)

Should Christians participate in Halloween?

The October 31st holiday that we today know as Halloween has strong roots in paganism and is closely connected with worship of the Enemy of this world, Satan. It is a holiday that generally glorifies the dark things of this world, rather than the light of Jesus Christ, The Truth.

Have you noticed how costumes and masks are getting generally more bloody, gory, and depraved each year? Unfortunately, the gruesome and grotesque and the occult are increasingly glorified in American society, not only on Halloween, but throughout the year in horror movies and in television programs.

Pope’s battle to save Christmas: Don’t let atheists crush your traditions, Benedict tells Britain

Tony Blair & Gordon BrownThe Pope at Westminster HallBy Steve Doughty Mail Online 17th September 2010

Easter and Christmas should not be discouraged by fear of offending others Christians in public roles should be allowed to act according to conscience Lack of ethical foundation resulted in financial crisis, he tells politicians

The Pope issued a clarion call to defend Christianity last night, saying Christmas was at risk of being struck from the calendar.

In a strongly worded speech delivered in Parliament, Benedict XVI bluntly told politicians not to ‘silence’ religion and discourage public celebration of its most important festivals.

And in a thinly veiled attack on controversial equality legislation, he said laws which forced Christians to act against their consciences were wrong.

‘There are those who would advocate that the voice of religion be silenced, or at least relegated to the purely private sphere,’ he told senior politicians and public figures.

‘Don’t sideline Christianity’: The Pope urges politicians to work to ensure religion has a place in national life during a speech at Westminster Hall

‘There are those who argue that the public celebration of festivals such as Christmas should be discouraged, in the questionable belief that it might somehow offend those of other religions or none.’

God’s Manifest Glorious Presence in Melbourne, Tasmania & Canberra / Healings / Jehovah Witnesses Getting Saved and Filled with Holy Spirit

Woman healed from arthritis in Launceston, TasmaniaWoman taking first steps after prayer for healing from arthritisDear family & friends in Christ,

We at CTFM are so excited as we believe that now is the Holy Spirit’s kairos time for Australia’s revival, reformation, and transformation for the advancement of the Kingdom and Glory of God!

We have been receiving very encouraging reports from many RUA prayer locations across our nation that they are beginning to experience an increasing outpouring and movement of the miracle working power and presence of the Holy Spirit, resulting in many more people being saved, filled, healed, delivered, set free, restored, and set ablaze with the revival fire of Jesus!

Over the past weekend in Hallam (Melbourne), Launceston (Tasmania) and Canberra, hundreds of spiritually hungry Christians experienced such a glorious anointing of the Holy Spirit’s power and manifest presence, that many in the congregation were literally stuck to the floor for more than an hour as the revival services went on for more than 4 hours! The KEY for this was corporate worship in Spirit and Truth which went on for hours, bringing down the mighty presence of God!Worshipping the Lord in Launceston, Tasmania

In Hallam (Melbourne) Pastor Jason could not even start preaching the prophetic Word of God until late on Sunday night, as the worship went on for 3 hours, with many spiritually hungry Christians staying for the entire 5 hour service!

All Praise, Honour, and Glory to God as it was the same in Tasmania and Canberra!

Pr Daniel ministered at very special Healing Weekend at Zion’s Hill Church in Launceston, Tasmania on Sat night and Sun AM & PM. Many were mightily touched by the Spirit of God and greatly challenged to rise up and stand for their nation of Australia for Jesus! The place was buzzing with great excitement and much joy as many stated, “This is revival!”

France Bans the Burqa

Burka Clad Women in FranceThe heaviest penalties under the new legislation, though, are reserved for those who encourage a woman to conceal their faces. It is believed many of the estimated 2,000 Muslim women in France who cover their faces do so under pressure from Salafist fundamentalists, who are most often their husbands, fathers or brothers. A Moroccan woman, for example, who never wore a burqa in her native country, was refused French citizenship in 2008 after donning one in France at the behest of her fundamentalist husband.

Mainstream Muslim groups in France have supported the Sarkozy government in its quest to eliminate the burqa and niqab from public areas. They have declared concealing the face “was not a prescription of the Koran” and said they will engage in “theological discussions” with Muslim women who wear the veil. These organisations were opposed, however, to passing any law forbidding facial coverings.

The Remnant of Patriot Pastors

Dave WelchWorldNet Daily Posted: August 28, 2010

I have certainly served up my share of outgoing fire at what might be called “pathetic preachers” who are feeding their flocks anything from non-fat milk to poisoned water; however, I’d like to pause and give thanks for The Remnant.

This particular remnant is the courageous cadre of pastors in every city in America who ARE standing and ARE preaching the word of God and ARE leading their flocks to be salt and light in and to their communities. These pastors are usually not the “big boys” in size but rather are mighty men of valor who may be leading a church of 100, 200, 500 or 1,000.

The good news is that they are far more numerous than you might think, and I’m treading on dangerous ground by naming any because there are so many I cannot. I’m going to anyway. (more…)
