Poll: What Evangelical Leaders Believe about the End Times

By Audrey Barrick | Christian Post Reporter

Wed, Mar. 09 2011

A majority of evangelical leaders believe that Jesus Christ will return to earth and then reign with his followers for 1,000 years, a new survey shows. This end times theology is called premillennialism and 65 percent of surveyed evangelical leaders identify with it.

As part of its monthly poll, the National Association of Evangelicals surveyed its board of directors, which include the CEOs of denominations and representatives of a broad array of evangelical organizations, on their eschatological beliefs.

“It’s in our human nature to want to prepare ourselves – physically, emotionally, spiritually – for what might be ahead,” said NAE President Leith Anderson.

The poll, released this week, found that 13 percent of those surveyed are amillennialists – believing that the non-literal millennial reign of Christ is happening now as Christ reigns at the right hand of the Father.

Great Weekend of Salvations and Powerful Holy Spirit Anointing

Praying for people at altarPastor Johnny Lee Clary ministering at CTFM in MelbourneDear family & friends with Christ,

We thank the Lord for a great weekend of salvations and powerful Holy Spirit Anointing at CTFM in Hallam (Melbourne) with His servant Johnny Lee Cleary!

This man of God, who has an incredible testimony of how the Lord saved him out of the Ku Klux Klan, touched many hearts at CTFM over the weekend, including many who surrendered their lives to Jesus!

The weekend was absolutely wonderful with Anointed Praise and Worship lead by the CTFM worship team as many soaked in the presence of God for hours as the Holy Spirit did a deep work of healing, deliverance and restoration in many lives!

Pr Johnny challenged the people not to follow the seeker friendly church, as it is misleading people away from the true Word of the Lord the Presence of God. He stated, ‘some Christian leaders have told me not to preach about the Cross, Hell, Sin or the Second Coming of Jesus, as it sounds offensive and brings fear to people. However, I cannot compromise the Word of God, so I will keep preaching the Word of the Lord.”

An Ancient Tablet discovered may prove Yeshua’s death and resurrection

Messianic Bibles for Israel 18/02/2011

In Jerusalem a tablet, three-foot-tall with 87 lines written in Hebrew is believed by scholars to date back to decades just before the Yeshua’s (Jesus’s) birth. It is still causing quite a stir worldwide with biblical and archaeology scholars, because it speaks about a messiah who will rise from the dead after three days.

The tablet was found near the Dead Sea on the Jordanian side and it is a rare finding of a stone with ink writings from that time era. Some describe it as a type of Dead Sea Scroll written on stone.

The authenticity of the Tablet has not faced any challenge.

The owner of the stone, David Jeselsohn, an Israeli-Swiss collector said: “I couldn’t make much out of it when I got it.” Jeselsohn, himself an expert in antiquities. “I didn’t realize how significant it was until I showed it to Ada Yardeni, who specializes in Hebrew writing, a few years ago. She was overwhelmed. ‘You have got a Dead Sea Scroll on stone,’ she told me.”

Much of the text, a vision of the apocalypse transmitted by the angel Gabriel, draws on the Old Testament, especially the prophets Daniel, Zechariah and Haggai.

The Secret Blessing of Generosity

GiftsLife Publishers Charisma Channels – SpiritLed Living 
  
In Genesis 13 (Read Genesis 13), Lot chose selfishly and moved his family to the choicest land—near the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, whose inhabitants sinned greatly. Abram, Lot’s uncle, generously let him go; and for his generosity, God blessed Abram and allowed him to settle his family in a safe area.

Later, God used Abram to rescue Lot from the evil cities before He destroyed them. Abram learned the blessings of being generous and following God’s plan.

We often think of giving as being limited to money or things. We need to give our time or talents to the Lord as well. The abilities the Lord has given you can be offered as a special gift.

On occasion, the most important thing we can give to help others is our time. Giving with a cheerful heart comes when we give our time, money or talents as if we were giving them directly to the Lord.

Though others may not receive these thankfully, God will add His blessing to our willingness to give.

Seven Reasons Why I Pray and Take a Stand with Israel

James W. GollA VIEW FROM MY CHAIR With James W. Goll

The following is an excerpt from the first chapter of my book Praying for Israel’s Destiny. The book is solid and relevant for these days. Having been an Israel Intercessor for many years, these truths roll out of my heart with ease. May you be enlightened and encouraged to take a stand in these perilous times.

1. Israel is Still the Apple of God’s Eye, and His Inheritance.

Pray and take a stand for Israel because Israel is still very close to God’s heart. I have already shared Zechariah 2:8, which says, “He who touches you , touches the apple of His eye.” Centuries before Zechariah prophesied these words, Moses wrote a song containing a very similar picture:

For the Lord’s portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance. . . . He encircled him, He cared for him and He guarded him as the pupil of His eye. . . . He spread His wings and caught them. He carried them on His pinions. Deuteronomy 32:9–11

Psalm 148:14 declares, “And He has lifted up a horn for His people, praise for all His godly ones; even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.” Did you hear that? “A people near to Him.” I love that!

The first reason I pray for Israel is not profound. I pray for Israel because I want to be close to God’s heart and I want to be in alignment with God’s sight. If God says that Israel is the apple or pupil of His eye, then I want to pray with insight–with His sight. Do you want to be close to the heart of God? Then be close to the things, people and purposes that are close to His heart. Fulfill your appointment. Take a stand and be a watchman for Israel!

Will China ultimately be a Christian-led Nation?

Chinese Christian WorshipBy Lauren Green – Published January 20, 2011

According to China Aid, a Texas-based human rights group, the number of Christians in China has increased 100-fold since 1949. Current estimates range from 80 million to 130 million active members. And one startling estimate from a Chinese Christian businessman has that number doubling or even tripling in the next generation.

Christianity could become one of the macro forces shaping Chinese culture, say experts like Dr. David Aikman, author of “Jesus in Beijing.”‬‪

“If the Chinese become Christianized … which doesn’t mean you have a majority of people who are Christians, but it means about 25 to 30 percent of people in positions of influence, in politics, in culture, in the media. If you have that component of a major power that accepts Christianity enthusiastically as a guide to life, that is going to change the world view of the leaders of China.”‬‪

Others argue that even if the more generous estimate of 130 Christians is true, it’s still a drop in the bucket in a population of more than a billion people.

“They all preach the same gospel. There are no liberals or conservative branches … they all believe the same.”

Jesus is Alive and Living in Australia

Mary Metcalfe cleaing up after the floodsSaturday, January 15, 2011 By Alan Metcalfe Special to ASSIST News Service

IRVINE, CA (ANS) — If you have been looking for Jesus this past week, He has been busy in Australia. For sure He has also been in Brazil, Peru, Germany, and wherever there has been need, but for sure, He has been in Australia this week; and He is staying on.

In Brisbane alone, a city of 2 million people, 50,000 people have officially registered as volunteers; and you can multiply this number by at least 10, when all the unofficial volunteers are counted. There has been an incredible outpouring of community spirit; and where that spirit is; there is Jesus Christ among the people.

All across the cities of Brisbane and Ipswich; and throughout the state, there has been an incredible outpouring of support from Queenslanders to help those in need at this time.

The flooded Metcalfe home at Goodna, Queensland, about 30 miles west of Brisbane. At the time this photo was taken, the water was starting to fall. “We believe the water covered the roof at the peak,’ said Alan Metcalfe
 
After the news spread that our home at Goodna, a suburb on the eastern edge of Ipswich in Queensland, had been submerged by flood waters and badly damaged, we have seen dozens of volunteers coming to help to us and our neighbors, and for this we are very thankful Thank you also for the ASSIST News readers who have emailed their prayers and support. Thank you. This is what Christianity is all about. This is Jesus Christ at work in the world.

Smith Wigglesworth Church Set to be Resurrected

Smith Wigglesworth PreachingThursday, January 20, 2011 – Assist News Service

MANNINGHAM, UK (ANS) — The site of world-famous supernatural happenings is set to be restored to its former glory – and turned into a centre of healing, a museum and coffee shop.

Bowland Street Mission, nestling between a taxi firm and a takeaway food shop, in Manningham, in Northern England, is where the extraordinary “people’s preacher” Smith Wigglesworth had his base.

Now news that the building is to be restored and used to continue his ministry has believers around the world buzzing with excitement – and booking flights for Bradford.

Brian Holland, of Idle, with his wife Kathryn, and international preacher and broadcaster Terry Quinn are founding members of the Smith Wigglesworth Foundation which has agreed a long-term lease on the building.

Brian said: “I have been studying Wigglesworth for nearly two decades and while only a select number of Bradfordians know about this guy, he is big news around the world.

“Wigglesworth was a catalyst for the charismatic revival of the church and one of the fathers of the Pentecostal church.

Egyptian Missionaries Respond to Train Shootings with Christian Love Campaign

Civil unrest in EgyptThursday, January 20, 2011

Special to the ASSIST News Service – From Christian Aid Mission

CAIRO, EGYPT (ANS) — In the wake of last week’s fatal train shooting, and a series of Christmas church attacks and the New Year terror bombing, a leading native missionary leader is calling for “a Christian love campaign in Egypt to all people who are not Christians.”

The leader told Christian Aid Africa Director Rae Burnett that “persecution is increasing everywhere” in Egypt and asked Christians overseas to continue to pray, even though the news media is not reporting the increased pressure on Christians in Egypt.

Last week an off-duty policeman boarded a train and went from car to car shooting those he identified as Christians – one man was killed in the attack and four women were wounded.

“We wonder if Christians will continue to be safe riding trains or walking in the streets,” said the Egyptian leader, “but we are happy that God has placed us here, and we believe that He will use this time to bring many souls to Him. We pray that God will touch many hearts with His love, and that the gospel will be known to all Egyptians.”

Egypt, the great antagonist of Israel

Egypt, America, and IsraelEgyptA response to the unrest in Cairo by ICEJ Executive Director, Rev. Malcolm Hedding

February 1st, 2011

Egypt, but for brief moments in history, has always been a great antagonist of the people of Israel. This saga really began some 1700 years before Christ when Joseph was sold into slavery by his brothers, was wrongly accused and left to rot in an Egyptian jail. If it were not for God’s supernatural deliverance he would have perished there! His rise to power was phenomenal as was his leadership skills. He not only saved Egypt from starvation but he delivered his family and the known world as well and thereby guaranteed the existence of the Jewish people and the Messianic line of descent. If it were not for God’s supernatural deliverance Israel would have perished!

As time went by a Pharaoh arose “who knew not Joseph” and literally enslaved the Jewish people, murdered their babies and threatened the nation with extinction. God went before them and provided a deliverer in the person of Moses. He brought Israel out of Egypt with great signs and wonders by his hands. If it were not for God’s supernatural deliverance Israel would have perished!

When the children of Israel got to the Red Sea the Egyptians had them cornered. There was nowhere to go and so, once again, by a miracle, in response to Moses outstretched arm, the sea parted and Israel escaped unharmed on dry land. If it were not for God’s supernatural deliverance Israel would have perished at the hands of the Egyptians!

Christianity taking over planet?

Mega Shift by James RutzEvidence suggests it’s fastest growing faith on Earth

Posted on WorldNetDaily on December 31, 2010 2011

What is the fastest-growing religion on Earth?

Most news reports suggest it is Islam.

But the evidence suggests a new, or, perhaps, original form of biblically inspired evangelical Christianity is sweeping through places like China, Africa, India and Southeast Asia – making it, by far, the fastest growing faith on the planet.

In “Megashift,” author Jim Rutz coins a new phrase to define this fast-growing segment of the population. He calls them “core apostolics” – or “the new saints who are at the heart of the mushrooming kingdom of God.”

Rutz makes the point that Christianity is overlooked as the fastest-growing faith in the world because most surveys look at the traditional Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church while ignoring Christian believers who have no part of either.

He says there are 707 million “switched-on disciples” who fit into this new category and that this “church” is exploding in growth.

Floods in Australia- Is it God, the devil, or a natural disaster? By Pr Daniel

Queensland FloodsPraying for flood victimsDear family and friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,

Many have asked Pr Daniel whether they could reprint or forward this article to others, so we are sending it again. Please feel free to do so in addition to the attached Christian Breaking News article from the Elijah List.

The above is a hot topic right now amongst many people, as Christians and non-Christians alike have been asking the question, “Is God punishing the people or is it simply a natural disaster?”
 
However, I have not personally heard many people ask the question, “Is it  the work of the devil?”
 
I am sure that even during the time of Noah’s flood many would have called it a natural disaster, until they all perished. We know this because when Noah warned the people as God’s spokesman, they did not receive his warning.  (Genesis 7:21-23)
 
Of course, there have always been many natural disasters throughout the world, but when the disaster is of the magnitude of what recently happened in Queensland, and when the secular media calls it ‘A Flood of Biblical Proportions’, we definitely need to take a good look and see whether this is more than just a natural disaster.
 
As I was recently getting my hair cut, my barber said to me, “Danny, I cannot understand why a loving God is punishing people.” My barber is a Christian, but does not go to church. In fact, I led him to the Lord a few months ago.
 
I promptly responded, “Suppose my daughter or son tell me that they are leaving home because they don’t like all the rules and regulations, but I tell them that the rules and regulations are because we love them and want to protect them from getting into trouble.  If they still choose to go, and I hear that they get into some trouble, would it be fair for them to blame me??”
 
He promptly responded, “NO.”

Cyclone Yasi – What a challenging moment in our nation / Pr Daniel

Pastor Daniel NalliahDear family & friends in Christ across this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit,

1) I am sure many of you would have hardly slept last night as you would have been praying and storming heaven on behalf of our nation, in particular for Queensland.

Personally, I hardly slept myself as I kept getting up all through the night and was led to pray in tongues for most part of the night. I asked God that there should be no lives lost. I am sure many of you would have done the same. I was also watching the breaking news.

I thank God with all my heart that the breaking news this morning was that “NO LIVES WERE LOST and NO REPORTS OF ANY INJURIES”. Isn’t this amazing!

A category 5 Cyclone rips through parts of Queensland, with winds of up to 285KM’s an hour, and there were no casualties. This is an amazing miracle, although there has been major damage to property and infrastructure.

Already there are encouraging reports coming out of Queensland.

This morning I was speaking to Pastor Adam who lives in Cairns. He told me that 16 born-again Christians, his family and a few from his church gathered at their home and spent a few hours in worship, praise and prayer last night.  While the cyclone was passing through they were playing their guitars and worshipping the Lord.
