A Baby Boy Raised from the Dead

Dan Wooding : Apr 26, 2012 : ASSIST News Service

“I felt God speaking to me saying: ‘He has the right to live’. So, immediately, I put my hand over him, and started to pray…”

(Montevideo, Uruguay)—Dr. Marta Martínez is a respected doctor from Montevideo, Uruguay, who believes that God still heals the sick today. And she should know, for in an interview, Dr. Martinez told me about an extraordinary miracle that she witnessed and was personally involved with.

Dr Marta“I experienced this miracle some years ago, while I was working in a hospital in one small city, far from the capital city,” she said. “It concerned a baby who was about one month old and his mother was an adolescent and very poor.

“The baby boy had come to the hospital in a very bad condition, with malnutrition, dehydration and septicemia. There appeared to be nothing we could to do for him. Finally he died. While I was present, watching him at the moment of the death, I thought: ‘It is better for him to die, because in his environment, with his kind of family, he would have not any chance of success, the rest of his life would be a ‘Calvary’, with a lack of hope and no opportunities’.

“At that moment, I felt God speaking to me saying: ‘He has the right to live’. So, immediately, I put my hand over him, and started to pray and thank God he was ‘resurrected’—he came back to life! It was an amazing miracle.”

Dr. Martinez went on to say that the baby was then sent to “a better hospital” in Montevideo called “Filtro” for further treatment.

Half of All Americans Believe Bible, Quran, Book of Mormon Hold Same Truths

By Stoyan Zaimov , Christian Post Reporter – April 17, 2012

An in-depth study released by the Barna Group on behalf of the American Bible Society found that 50 percent of Americans believe the Bible, Quran and the Book of Mormon hold different expressions of the same truths. The survey also found that Americans’ reliance on the Bible has decreased slightly in 2012 from 2011, although the Christian holy book retains an important place in people’s lives.

The study, which was conducted in March and surveyed over 2,000 adults through phone and online interviews, found that 85 percent of American households own a Bible – although that number was down from 88 percent in 2011. Similarly, 48 percent agreed that the Bible has all the knowledge needed to live a meaningful life, while that number was 53 percent in 2011.

Mormonism, which has been in the news lately because of Mitt Romney, the likely GOP presidential candidate and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, registered a slight gain in terms of recognition – six percent of people interviewed said the Book of Mormon is sacred or holy, which is up two percent from 2011. The Bible, on the other hand, dropped by four percent to 82 percent in the same question.

The survey’s findings suggest that “Americans desire to read the Bible more and turn to it for the answers to life questions but have an increasingly less reverent view of its contents,” David Kinnaman, president of Barna Group, said in a press release.

Rise Up Good Soldiers for Jesus / Former Mormon receives Lord at CTFM

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) Glory to God for another amazing weekend in His glorious presence!

On Sunday past, Pr Daniel preached on the 3 categories of people in the church, the Visionaries, the Leaders and the Followers. He used the story of Moses leading the people out of bondage into freedom.

Pr Daniel stated, “Where there is no vision people perish. Where there is vision people are always excited as they know that they have a cause to fight for. Where there is vision there is a mission to accomplish and you will see people with great passion following the visionary.

Moses had a great encounter with God at the burning bush, where he received the vision to set His people, who were captives, free from Egypt. This started off a great journey to lead Israel into freedom.

Have you had a real encounter with God?? We need to set the captives free!!

Moses encountered many challenges. He was challenged from the outside by Pharaoh and the Egyptians. He also faced challenges from within, including his own leaders and the Israelites. No matter who challenges you, if God has called you and appointed you for the task, you must stand up and be a good soldier for Jesus with boldness, guts and love.

Melbourne’s Fed Square “Undeniable” Celebration

Dear friends and family in Christ,

We’re posting the following report from Kirsten Jack in regard to the great success of the recent ‘Undeniable’ event at Federation Square in Melbourne on Sun 15th April.

Truly, Jesus is Lord over Melbourne, all of Australia and the Nations of the World!

Dear Friend,

We’re so excited to report about the ‘Undeniable’ event!

Praise God it was perfect weather, for a 7:30pm start at Fed Square. Around 2-3000 people turned up, with over 100 atheists from the Global Atheist Convention. A number of churches cancelled their Sunday night services to be there, and heaps of other churches, denominations and ministries were represented.

Our message to the city of Melbourne was that “we know God is real because He has changed our lives”. We had around 80 helpers in white t-shirts with the words “ask me my story”, who talked and prayed with people in the crowd. There were healings, deliverance, repentance and HEAPS of conversations and prayer with atheists and others. (more…)

Why Christians Must Be Involved In Politics

by Rev. Johnny Lee Clary © www.johnnyleeclary.com

There is a huge movement underway, with books being written and endorsed by pastors of large churches telling people that Christians should never be involved in politics and that if they are then they are turning unbelievers away from Christ. These books are not worth buying. Their authors are worthless because they lack knowledge and wisdom when it comes to God’s word and therefore should not be telling Christians how to live their lives.

All political power has been delegated by God. As Apostle Paul says in Romans 13:1, in speaking on the subject of civil authority, “Every person should obey the government in power. No government would exist if it hadn’t been established by God. The governments which exist have been put in place by God.”

People accuse me all the time of being disobedient to God’s word for criticizing government officials, using Romans 13:1 to justify that accusation. I always point out to them that if that is true that I am disobedient, then so were the Apostles, John and Peter. The ruling authority commanded and ordered them not to preach Jesus and they replied they must obey God rather than men. Therefore, the word of God is plain; we do not have to obey government authority when it conflicts with God’s word.

Now the key here is that when you have a government that is hostile to or just plain old anti-Christian, you must get involved with politics in order to change the government to be favorable to God’s word and the way to do that is to put Christians in power! (more…)

Christians Call on UK Prime Minister to Support ’Not Ashamed of the Cross’ Campaign

Friday, April 6, 2012 By Peter Wooding – Europe Bureau Chief for ASSIST News Service

LONDON, ENGLAND (ANS) — CHRISTIANS across the UK were today (GOOD FRIDAY) launching a campaign to urge UK Prime Minister David Cameron to turn his strong “words of support” for Christianity and its role in public life, which he expressed this week at a private ‘Easter Reception’ at Downing Street for senior church leaders, into “solid action”.

In a letter to the UK Prime Minister, nurse Shirley Chaplin, one of the four Christians involved in the cases going to Europe, said:At the reception, the Prime Minister, who attends church with his wife, Samantha, and their children, rallied over 100 senior church representatives with a strong call for the Church to be more active in British Society, backed by the Government. He said that he supported the “fight back” by the Church against rising secularism and the right of Christians to wear crosses at work and be open about their faith.

According to a Christian Concern press release his comments come at a time when many Christians, including the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, fear that traditional values are being airbrushed from public life. A series of court cases have handed victories to secular campaigners, as Christians have been penalised for wearing crosses to work, for not wanting to work on a Sunday or even for just sharing their faith with colleagues or clients. In a recent case a Devon council was actually barred from saying prayers at the start of official meetings.

Mr Cameron told the attendees: “I think there’s something of a fight-back going on, and we should welcome that. The values of the Bible, the values of Christianity are the values that we need.” In a separately released Easter message, Mr Cameron said the festival was a time to “remember the life, sacrifice and living legacy of Christ”.

Britain’s Christians are being vilified, warns Lord Carey

By John Bingham, Religious Affairs Editor Telegraph.co.uk – 13 Apr 2012

 

Christians are being “persecuted” by courts and “driven underground” in the same way that homosexuals once were, a former Archbishop of Canterbury has warned.

Lord Carey says worshippers are being “vilified” by the state, treated as “bigots” and sacked simply for expressing their beliefs.

The attack is part of a direct appeal to the European Court of Human Rights before a landmark case on religious freedom.

In a written submission seen by The Daily Telegraph, the former leader of more than 70?million Anglicans warns that the outward expression of traditional conservative Christian values has effectively been “banned” in Britain under a new “secular conformity of belief and conduct”.

His comments represent one of the strongest attacks on the impartiality of Britain’s judiciary from a religious leader.

Very Successful RUA Party Vic Candidate Orientation Day / CTFM Credentials more Ministers of Fire / Rev Johnny Lee Clary ministering in Hallam, Melbourne

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We thank and praise God for His wonderful presence, which makes the difference in people’s lives!

Without Jesus, where would we be?

1) On Saturday the 21st of April the first Candidate Orientation Day for Rise Up Australia Party (Keep Australia Australian) for the state of Victoria was held at the RUA Party office in Hallam.

We were so thankful to God to see as many as 30 potential candidates turn up for the day from across Victoria. RUA Party will be running a full ticket in Victoria and most other states in the 2013 Federal Election.

Those who attended the Orientation Day were men and women with a great passion to see change in our government and nation and are willing to do anything to make this happen.

Pr Daniel stated, “Certainly, I see a revolution led by love for a national reformation beginning to happen all across Australia.  I know that RUA Party is a part of His battle strategy to take back Australia!”

On Sunday before the service at CTFM in Hallam, a young couple who were into drugs, etc. came to church and met with Pr Daniel. After ministering to them for some time, he led them both to the Lord, and then they joined in for

At the Sunday evening Credentialing Service at CTFM, 10 brothers and sisters in Christ were ordained into the Fivefold Ministry to advance the Kingdom of God in power and authority in Jesus Name. There were 4 from QLD, 1 from SA, 1 from WA and 4 from Vic who received their ministry credentials from Catch The Fire ministries. Pr Daniel, his wife Maryse, along with the CTFM Pastoral Team, Board Members and Elders laid hands on these wonderful men and women of God who were ordained, and prayed and prophesied over them.

Former KKK Leader Johnny Lee Clary at CTFM in Melbourne this Sun 29th April / Reminder of cancellation of Anzac Day Rally at Vic Parliament

Dear friends and family in Christ,

1) For those of you in the Melbourne area, we are pleased to announce that Rev Elder Johnny Lee Cleary (Ex-National Leader of the Ku Klux Klan) will be ministering the Word of the Lord in the miracle working power of the Holy Spirit this Sunday 29th April at 9:30am & 6:30pm at CTFM Apostolic Centre at 23 Melverton Dr in Hallam.

Johnny Lee Clary learned to hate at a very young age. He was raised in a family filled with racism, anger, and bigotry. As the Klan’s national leader, the destructive mindset and lifestyle he had lived for so many years began to take its toll. Riddled with torment, Johnny Lee left the Klan. On the verge of committing suicide one night, he started reading the Bible and cried out to God to deliver him from his nightmarish existence.

After dedicating his life to Christ, he has become a renowned international speaker and has set records for the largest crowds for any preacher in Australia other than Billy Graham, with literally thousands receiving his message of hope, healing and forgiveness for racism, low self-esteem, suicidal tendencies, and substance abuse. Johnny holds the record for the largest crowd ever at Hillsong Brisbane (formerly Garden City).

Holy Spirit Revolution in the Gold Coast / CTFM Credentialing Service & Live Webcast Sun evening 22nd April

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) All glory to God for this past weekend as Pr Daniel ministered the prophetic Word of the Lord at 2 different churches on the Gold Coast, QLD where the fire of the Holy Ghost fell most powerfully!

We thank God for many hungry souls which were delivered, set free and healed by the mighty presence of God! Some people came to the altar and surrendered their lives to Jesus for the first time!

At one church, there were around 300 people that erupted with shouts of joy and clapping as Pr Daniel shared the Word of God and then spoke about Rise Up Australia Party! The people were so very excited to hear the news of a political party which was committed to protect Australia, its Judeo-Christian heritage and to keep ‘Australia Australian’.

Many responded to the altar call at both churches and were mightily blessed by the power and presence of God. The Pastor of the church was so touched that he got up and challenged the people to support RUA Party in the next federal election. Many took up membership with the party just after the service and so many others were willing to help in any way possible.

Pr Daniel stated, “I was so blessed to see the excitement in the house of God in hearing of RUA Party. In particular, to see both Pastors being totally available to help and support. Also the way they personally promoted the party. I believe that this is God’s timing for a change in the political leadership and direction of Australia, especially with the departure of the Greens Party leader Bob Brown from politics. Also many media personalities and politicians predicting the ‘beginning of the end of the Greens’.

I believe that God is preparing the way for RUA Party to play a major role in government in the near future. Glory to God. Do not believe the lie that church and politics should not mix. If we the church do not take a stand now, our nation is heading for absolute disaster.”

Entire Mosques Coming to Christ in Sub-Saharan Africa, Says Former Church Planter

By Michelle A. Vu , Christian Post Reporter – Tuesday, Mar 27, 2012

The idea of more than 200,000 former Muslims coming to faith in Sub-Saharan Africa within a few short years is mind-boggling. But entire mosques in Sub-Saharan Africa coming to faith? That news is even harder to wrap one’s mind around, but it is in fact what is happening according to reports from a former church planter among Muslims in West Africa.

In the new book Miraculous Movements, Jerry Trousdale, now director of International Ministries for CityTeam International, records amazing and inspiring stories of faith among Muslim communities in Africa. The author opens up a new world to Western readers, taking them into the heart of the “miraculous movement” of God in Africa that is transforming the hearts of Muslims.

Trousdale writes that “unprecedented” events are happening among the Muslim populations that his ministry and its affiliates are working among, including:

• Multiple cases of entire mosques coming to faith
• Thousands of ordinary men and women being used by God to achieve seemingly impossible outcomes
• Tens of thousands of Muslim background Christians becoming dedicated intercessors who fast and pray for the gospel to penetrate the next community
• Muslim people groups that never had even one church among them now have more than fifty church planted, and in some cases more than one hundred churches – within two years of engagement
• Former sheikhs, imams and militant Islamists making up 20 percent or more of the new Christian leaders in Muslim regions

“We had seven years now in Africa. And of the people in Africa, 81 different people groups that have at least 50 percent Muslim have now significant movements among them. Of those 81, 45 are people groups with 99 or 100 percent Muslim,” said Trousdale in an interview with CP. “So we are talking about fairly extreme areas of Islamic influence. These are people who have been Islamic for well over a hundred years, some hundreds of years.”

God Is Not Politically Correct

by Dr. Larry Ollison

God has not changed. The things He disapproved of during the time of Noah, Abraham, Moses, and Paul, He still disapproves of today. God is not an evolving creature that changes His character depending upon His environment. God’s Word always has been and will always be true.

Growing up in the United States of America, I have become accustomed to democracy. We vote on everything. In America, school leaders, community leaders, state leaders, and national leaders are all in their elected positions because they were the most popular. Americans tend to think that if something is popular, it’s right.

When it comes to character, righteousness, and the spiritual things of God, nothing could be further from the truth. God’s kingdom is not a democracy.

Everything God created was created by and for His Son, Jesus. We were created to fellowship with Him. It may come as a shock to some people, but in the Kingdom of God, God is the King. We don’t vote on, debate, or argue the rules. We don’t debate the rules. We don’t argue the rules. Our duty is to willingly obey the rules of the King. (more…)
