Holy Spirit Fire Falls On The Gold Coast And At The Feast Of Trumpets In Melbourne

All Praise, Honor, and Glory to the Lord God of Israel

Dear family & friends in Christ,

This weekend gone by saw the Holy Spirit of God move mightily in Hallam (Melbourne), Victoria and on the Gold Coast, Queensland where Pas Daniel ministered the prophetic Word of the Lord!

In Hallam we celebrated Rosh HaShana, the Jewish New Year and the Feast of Trumpets, time to awake and repent! It was absolutely amazing as the Spirit of the Lord of Israel moved most powerfully as prophetic people of God packed the church hall to learn more about the importance of such a biblical feast according to the Jewish calendar of the prophetic Word of God and the Lord Jesus Christ. Following is an exciting report from Sister Jill of Catch The Fire Ministries who led the interdenominational and messianic service.

Commissioner And Police Officers Welcome Bible In NTChristianity Today Australia – Thursday, 20 August 2009

NSW Police Commissioner Andrew Scipione has welcomed the release of a new Police Bible, created especially for the State‘s serving police officers.

The Police Bible is compact, with a Police-blue, leather-look cover and Police Crest on the front. It contains the New and Old Testaments, as well as information on Police ethics, service, integrity and leadership. It also includes the police prayer, and photos of officers in the field.

It’s thought that eventually, the bulk of the State’s 20,000 officers will have a Police Bible in their possession.

Global Day Of Prayer For The Peace Of Jerusalem On October 4th, 2009

Temple Mount in Jerusalem, IsraelDear Praying Friends,

As the Bible said it would, Jerusalem has become a cup of controversy on the global stage today (Zech. 12:2-3).

RIGHT NOW… there are increasing threats from many nations against God’s covenant city, there are escalating tensions surrounding the inhabitants of the land of Israel, and there are ever-increasing global repercussions for all mankind because of the critical situation.

As these global challenges arise, however, GOD is present. His response has been to stir the hearts of Christians from China to Germany and from Kenya to Brazil, to raise their voices in fervent intercession with His Son on behalf of Jerusalem and all her inhabitants, both Jew and Arab alike.
Are YOU one of those voices?

We are weeks away from a powerful moment. On Sunday, October 4th, tens of millions of Christians in literally every corner of this planet will unite for The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem, a day specifically set aside by more than 1,200 global leaders.

USA: Calling 50,000 Muslims To Prayer On Capitol Hill

Spread of IslamBy William Wan – Washington Post, Sept 2009

It began as the idea of one man in a New Jersey mosque after hearing President Obama speak about the need to reach out to Muslims in America. Now that man, Hassen Abdellah, is trying to mobilize 50,000 fellow Muslims from across the country to gather in front of Capitol Hill at the end of this month and pray for the country.

Abdellah says he’s already obtained a permit from police to gather on Capitol Hill on Sept. 25. And he’s heard from thousands willing to make the trek. “Fundraising is going slow,” he admitted, “but the bottom line is all we’re doing is praying, you don’t need that much money to pray.”

The gathering is not supposed to be political, Abdellah said in an interview. No placards or signs allowed. No major famous imams or popular celebrities scheduled so far. No real agenda other than to pray together.
“We want this to be purely about Islam,” he said. “We want to change the perception of Islam to show we are not terrorists, but that most of us Muslims here love America and abide by its laws.”

Rash Of Attacks On Christians Reported In Sri Lanka

Colombo, Sri LankaMonday, 17 August 2009  Krishni de Alwis / Compass Direct News News – Featured News

COLOMBO, Sri Lanka—Attacks on Christians in Sri Lanka have surged noticeably in recent weeks, following the government’s defeat of Tamil separatists in May.

Attacks were reported in Puttlam, Gampaha and Kurunegala districts in western Sri Lanka, central Polonnaruwa district, Mannar district in the north and Matara district in the south, according to the National Christian Evangelical Alliance of Sri Lanka (NCEASL).

Most recently, attackers on July 28 set fire to an Assemblies of God church in Norachcholai, Puttlam district, destroying the building. The pastor received frantic calls from neighbors at about 8:45 p.m. reporting that the building was in flames, echoing a similar arson attack almost a year ago that destroyed the original building on the site. Church members have registered a complaint with police, but at press time no arrests had been made.

The last of these, the Feast of Tabernacles, will be celebrated by the nations going up annually to Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts (see Zechariah 14:16-20).  Thousands of people from the nations are already prophetically making this pilgrimage!

A MOVE OF GOD’S SPIRIT TOUCHING THE ABORIGINAL PEOPLE

Rev John Blacket of Khesed Ministries reports of signs of an incredible renewal among indigenous Australians and clear expectations that this move of God’s Spirit will impact non-indigenous Australians and migrants as well in this land. Upon returning from a recent trip to Central Australia Mr Blacket said “Many young Aborigines in Central Australia and Arnhem Land have turned to Jesus Christ from drugs and petrol sniffing, worshipping the Lord in new songs in their own languages.

There is deep repentance that we haven’t seen for over 25 years.” Mr Blacket went on “There is also a lot of prayer and symbolic acts for healing the land, and a move to work through deep cultural issues like we have never seen. So many of our dreams and heart cries of 20 years are beginning to happen! But there is a need for a Holy Spirit inspired revelation of God’s word – both the Word and the Spirit together. There still tends to be too much of a divide between those clinging to the historical roots of missionary evangelical teaching and literal understanding of the Bible in rather legalistic ways – and those moving in a renewed understanding of the power of the Spirit that is often lacking in Scriptural foundation.”

Acts 4:12 United Christian Strategic Meetings to counter the ‘Parliament of the World’s Religions’ in Melbourne

Dear friends and family in Christ,

We’re posting the following email from Salt Shakers for your urgent prayer and action regarding the Acts 4:12 united Christian strategic meetings to counter the Parliament of World Religions in Melbourne.

Dear Pastor/Leaders

We invite you to join us at one of three locations in Melbourne for a Pastors briefing and consultation. In December this year Melbourne will host the ‘Parliament of the World’s Religions’ – a gathering of ‘faith’ groups from around the world.

The two Men organising this event suggested to the Australian Government a few years ago that our Federal Parliament should stop being opened with an exclusively Christian prayer. They argued that this should be replaced by a rotation of prayers by the 17 ‘top’ faiths including ‘no religion’.  Some Local Councils have already adopted a roster of prayers at their suggestion and formed ‘Multi-faith Networks’ in their area.

Pastor Daniel Ministering at the Altar

Dear family & friends in Christ,Receiving Healing For Knee Problem

What a mighty God we serve! We thank and praise God for His increasing manifest presence in our nation of Australia, this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!

Over the weekend gone by Pas Daniel (Danny) ministered in Toowoomba, QLD. The Holy Spirit fire fell mightily at every meeting with many people empowered and radically transformed for the glory of the King of kings and the Lord of lords! Hundreds of Christians hungry for the presence of God attended the revival meetings as God-seeking worshippers packed the church hall on Sunday morning.

Many at ‘On The Edge Church’ in Toowoomba were greatly blessed as the Lord healed many from their physical, emotional, and spiritual problems. Pas Daniel stated, “This church has a great Pastor who is absolutely hungry for more of the power and presence of God in our nation. Pas David is a man who is willing to do anything to see a mighty move of God in Australia. I rejoice when I see men of God rise up like this to catch the fire of the Holy Spirit.  We desperately need 300 men & women of God like this man in the body of Christ, another Gideon’s army in the Spirit, who will rise up and take Australia for Jesus!” (more…)

The Dangers Of Dual Covenant Theology

Jonathan BernisFriday, 07 August 2009 – by Jonathan Bernis

Jewish leaders finally are realizing that evangelical Christians are Israel’s best friends. As a Jewish believer, I rejoice over this growing love and support for the country and the people. I am grateful for the rallies, financial support and efforts to lobby our government not to force Israel to trade land for peace.

Having said that, I have serious concern for the growing acceptance of “dual covenant theology.” It promotes the idea that Jewish people have a separate path to salvation through the Abrahamic or Mosaic covenants. In other words, Jews don’t need Jesus for personal salvation.

Proponents of this theology teach that Judaism and Christianity are valid yet distinct religions, each equally worthy of the other’s respect. They say Christians should not challenge the traditional Jewish thought that Jesus was not the Messiah.

Iran Tightens Grip On Christians As Unrest Roils

Iran\'s Persecution of ChristiansCharisma News Online – Wednesday, 12 August 2009 – Compass Direct News News – Featured News

Amid a violent crackdown on protestors and a purge of opponents within the Iranian government, more than 30 Christians were arrested in the last two weeks near Tehran and in the northern city of Rasht.

Two waves of arrests near Tehran happened within days of each other, and while most of those detained—all converts from Islam—were held just a day for questioning, a total of eight Christians still remain in prison.

On July 31 police raided a special Christian meeting 15 miles north of Tehran in the village of Amameh in the area of Fashan. A Compass source said about 24 Christians, all converts from Islam, had gathered in a private home. In the afternoon police squads in both plain clothes and uniform raided and arrested everyone present. (more…)
