Options Plus Care Orientation Day Saturday 17 April in Melbourne / Pregnancy Counselling Service of CTFM

Pastor Daniel and baby saved through Options Plus Care Pregnancy Counseling

Dear family & friends in Christ,
 
In 1998 God birthed in Pr Daniel’s heart to start the Options + Care Pregnancy Counselling Centre in Australia.
 
He challenged him with the following words, “Will you be a Voice for the Voiceless?” 
 
The motto of this ministry is ‘Save A Life and Save A Soul!’
 
We have seen many babies saved through O + C over the past 12 years.  Now that God has provided us with a much needed Ultra-Sound machine, we believe that this is a new season to see more babies saved!
 
We believe even as we continue to pray for abortions to become illegal in Australia, we also need to act in order to save the next generation of Aussie’s in our nation.
 
Following is a opportunity for you to become a part of this great ministry serving the Body of Christ and local communities across our nation.
 
Options Plus Care (Pregnancy Counselling Service) – Orientation Day, Saturday April 17th, 2010 -  10.30am to 12.00pm at CTFM Base, 23 Melverton Dr, Hallam.

Police stop re-enactment of crucifixion of Jesus in Geelong, Australia

Crucifixion of Jesus re-enactment in Geelong, Victoria, Australia deemed too offensive by local policeDear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,

Due to the widespread national and international media coverage, you possibly would have heard by now that a church in Geelong, Victoria, Australia did a re-enactment of the crucifixion of Jesus on the Easter weekend, which was shut down by the local police because a few complaints were alleged to have been received.

However, what seemed to be initially negative has now turned out to be very positive for the Kingdom of God!

The senior minister of the church in Geelong told Pastor Daniel that he had challenged the police as to how many complaints they actually had received and as to why they abruptly shut down their street drama.  He also told the police that the ‘Gay and Lesbian Mardi-Gras’ is very offensive to many people (Christians and non-Christians alike) in addition to the ‘Nude Bike Ride’ and people posing nude in public places for photos. He challenged them as to what they do when they receive many complaints on those issues. The police admitted that they received only 2 complaints in relation to the re-enactment of the crucifixion of Jesus and that they had over reacted. The police have now made a public apology which was printed in several newspapers.   (more…)

President Obama’s anti-Israel hysteria and plan to microchip citizens

President ObamaDear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahu
 
President Obama is definitely de-Christianizing America, making it an Interfaith nation to further the Antichrist’s diabolical agenda of a One World Government, Religion, and Economy.
 
He is planning to microchip citizens in America and trying his very best to divide Jerusalem. We must continue to pray that the Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu will continue to stand strong and not let this happen.  Pray for Israel and especially Jerusalem!
 
I am shocked that thousands (perhaps millions) of Christians are so misled and do not support Israel. Thank God for the nameless and faceless remnant who will rise up and take a stand for the soon coming King of kings and the Lord of lords! These Kingdom warriors will prepare the way for the second coming of Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. We must remember that where there is darkness, the light shines even brighter. So let your light shine!
 
Following are 2 very interesting and alarming articles regarding President Obama’s anti-Israel hysteria and plan to microchip citizens.
 
Jesus is coming back very soon!!! ARE YOU READY TO MEET HIM?????? Please pray for the nations!!!

Don’t Try to Tame the Holy Ghost

Fire in My BonesJ. Lee Grady Newsletters – Fire In My Bones – 2nd March 2010

Too often the American church has tried to put the Third Person of the Trinity in a box.

Hundreds of years before the Holy Spirit was poured out on the early church on the day of Pentecost, the Old Testament prophet Ezekiel, newly anointed as a priest, got a free preview of how God would send the Holy Spirit to empower His people. The preview came in the form of a Technicolor vision that included a stormy wind, a cloud that glowed with fire, flashes of lightning and strange, four-faced cherubim that were empowered by God’s divine energy.

Ezekiel wrote of these heavenly creatures: “In the midst of the living beings there was something that looked like burning coals of fire, like torches darting back and forth among the living beings. The fire was bright, and lightning was flashing from the fire. And the living beings ran to and fro like bolts of lightning” (Ezekiel 1:13-14, NASB).

“Let’s not become so trendy and culturally relevant that we lock the Holy Spirit in a cage … so that He doesn’t mess up our scripted show” (more…)

Another young woman from satanism experiences the power and love of Jesus / All out prayer assault needed this Easter weekend

Dear family & friends in Christ,

It is with great joy we report that another young woman from a satanic background experienced the supernatural power and life transforming love of Jesus last Sunday night at the CTFM meeting in Hallam!

This young woman who was born into a satanic coven and grew up as a Satanist, has reconfirmed her decision in living in the light and truth of the Lord Jesus Christ rather than in the darkness and deception of Satan. This is another breakthrough in relation to the spiritual warfare prayer operation on Mount Ainslie in Canberra in October 2009, ‘Taking the High Places for Jesus!’ 

Satan and his demonic powers of darkness are definitely beginning to lose their hold over Australia! We believe at CTFM that as Christians rise up in their God-given spiritual authority in Jesus, stand their ground in the authority of the Word of God and the finished work of the Cross of Christ,  pray, fast and sincerely love these precious people, there will be a supernatural harvest of souls coming out of the kingdom of hell into the Kingdom of heaven!

Netanyahu’s AIPAC Speech in Washington Receives Standing Ovation

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Nethanyahuby Teresa Neumann : Mar 24, 2010 : Israeli Prime Minister’s Office

“The connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel cannot be denied. The connection between the Jewish people and Jerusalem cannot be denied. The Jewish people were building Jerusalem 3,000 years ago and the Jewish people are building Jerusalem today. Jerusalem is not a settlement. It’s our capital.”

(Washington, D.C.)—A March 23 report in Haaretz describes the highly charged difference of opinions addressed in Washington when Israel’s Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu met with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton. In contrast, however, at the same time, the Prime Minister received an overwhelming voice of support and a standing ovation from nearly 8,000 attendants after delivering a powerful speech at the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

The Prime Minister reportedly spoke several hours after Secretary Clinton charged that Israel’s building in parts of Jerusalem that the United States does not recognize as being under Israeli sovereignty “undermines” U.S. policy.

Noted the report in Haaretz, when Netanyahu spoke, he “pointed out that Israel has made constant to the concessions to the United States and Palestinian Authority but drew the red line at Jerusalem, reasoning that building houses for Jews in all of united Jerusalem in no way precludes the possibility of a two-state solution. More than half of the American Congressmen were among the more than 7,000 people listening to the speech at the annual conference of the pro-Israel lobby group in Washington. The speech was delayed in order to allow people to enter the packed convention hall.” (more…)

Obama Says NO to Jerusalem as Israel’s Capital

Older photo of Obama and Nethanyahu as Obama censored all media coverage of their recent meeting in D.C.Following two lengthy meetings at the White House on Tuesday between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Obama, including a second unscheduled meeting, relations between the two nations remained icy. The White House refused to release the normal photos or briefings that would accompany such an event, leading observers to wonder if the silence was intended to punish Israel for the “insult” to Vice President Biden of announcing the construction of homes for Jewish people on Jewish land during his visit.
 
Observers had hoped that the high-level meetings would begin to repair the relationship, but that does not appear to be the case. The sticking point appears to be the Obama Administration’s insistence that Jerusalem is an issue that must be negotiated rather than acknowledging the ancient City of David as the rightful and eternal capital of Israel.

But despite the pressure, my friend Benjamin Netanyahu is standing firm. “Jerusalem is not a settlement—it is our capital!” he proclaimed at a dinner prior to his meeting with President Obama. He further told Secretary of State Clinton that Israel’s policy toward building homes in Jerusalem has remained unchanged for more than forty years and that it will not be changing, despite the protests of the United States.

Divorce-proofing your marriage

By Greg Laurie – February 13, 2010
 
My wife and I celebrated our 36th wedding anniversary a little over a week ago. I remember the day we were married as though it were yesterday. Cathe was a vision of beauty as she walked down the aisle, while I had long hair and a big, bushy red beard. I was also wearing the ugliest tuxedo ever made. Now as I look at those old photos, I have to ask, “What was I thinking?” But we are grateful for how faithful God has been to both of us over the years.

Sometimes couples will ask me to redo their vows. I don’t have a problem with that, but I have never felt a great desire for Cathe and me to do this. We haven’t broken them yet, and we don’t plan on breaking them. So I think once is good enough, because I meant them when I said them to Cathe, and I know she meant them when she said them to me as well.

From the very beginning, we sought to build our marriage on biblical principles. Now, I know a little bit about marriage and a little bit about divorce. I have never been divorced, but my mother was married and divorced seven times. She went through a lot of what might be described as relationships, though I don’t really think they were. So for many years of my childhood, I saw how not to do things. Then, when I was getting married, I knew that I was about to make a lifelong commitment that I planned, by the grace of God, to honor and keep. (more…)

40 Days for Life: an Early Report

40 Days for Lifeby Aimee Herd/David Bereit : Feb 24, 2010 : 40 Days for Life

“Jesus is really, really using us to save lives!”

The 40 Days for Life spring prayer vigils began last week and fantastic testimonies are already pouring in—there have been at least 55 babies’ lives saved so far.

Below is a report from a vigil in Florida. To find out more about 40 Days for Life, and to find a prayer vigil in your area, CLICK HERE, or follow the source link provided.

Report: Early Sunday morning, local coordinator Ernie Cyr sent out an urgent message to 40 Days for Life volunteers in Pensacola, Florida. He had just found out that abortions were taking place at the city’s only abortion facility. Yes, on the Lord’s day.

Ernie’s request for prayer volunteers at the 40 Days for Life vigil was quickly answered.

It would soon become apparent that their prayers were being answered as well.

A woman drove up and told the vigil participants, “I called my sister and convinced her not to have an abortion!” (more…)

Derryn Hinch / Family First Party / Credential Application Forms / Weekend Ministry in Melbourne

Dear family and friends in Christ,

1) What a mighty God we serve, the King of kings and LORD of lords, Christ Jesus!

Many of you know that Pr Daniel was interviewed by Derryn Hinch of 3AW Radio on 10th March 2010. Well, all glory to God that one week later the podcast and photo of Pr Daniel are still on the front page of the 3AW website under the caption ‘God does work in mysterious ways.’  80-90% of the comments have been very positive in support of Pr Daniel and his uncompromising stand for Christ and the advance of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God.  Many people are actually discussing the Bible as many Christians are quoting scriptures and sharing the love and truth of Jesus on the website!

Most amazingly 3AW confirmed that their website has approximately 2,000,000 hits a month. Additionally, the personal website of Derryn Hinch had 4,200,000 hits over the last 12 months. In total that’s around 75,000 – 80,000 hits a day. Glory to God! Just imagine the number of lost souls (non-Christians) who are receiving the incredible opportunity to hear about Jesus and the Word of God on the secular radio station, especially the interview conducted by an Atheist broadcaster. God does work certainly in mysterious ways!

Don’t let politicians bully you, Lord Carey warns Christians

Lord Carey - Former Archbishop of CanteburyBy Steve Doughty – 2nd March 2010

Former Archbishop of Canterbury Lord Carey today accused politicians of trying to bully Christianity out of public life.

He complained of a ‘strident and bullying campaign’ to marginalise Christianity in the name of political correctness.

Lord Carey said: ‘We have reached the point where politicians are mocked for merely expressing their faith.

‘I cannot imagine any politician expressing concern that Britain should remain a Christian country. That reticence is a scandal and a disgrace to our history.’

Demand for Bible Outstripping Supply in China

Christian Post  – 02/21/2010 – Charles Boyd

LONDON – The U.K.-based Bible Society has reported a growing demand for copies of the Bible in China where an estimated 500,000 people convert to Christianity every year.

Although some four million Bibles were printed and distributed across China last year, the rapid growth of the church year on year means that demand for Bibles is now outstripping supply, according to the Bible Society.

The official number of Christians in China stands at 28.6 million, but it is believed the true figure could be as high as 90 million if the estimated number of worshippers at unofficial house churches is included.  

The Bibles are printed at Amity Printing Company, the only government-approved Bible printing press in China. It has printed around 70 million Bibles since it was established in 1987. Around 50 million of them have gone to Chinese believers.

Does Obama Walk the Walk When It Comes to Christians and Jews?

President Barack ObamaBy Ken Blackwell – FOXNews.com

It’s hard to call for an end to the culture wars when your own side is manning the barricades. President Obama is big on civility. He talks a very good game. But his nominee for a top slot at the Department of Justice–Dawn Johnsen–is a leading exponent of incivility. Johnsen worked with the ACLU for years. And she joined ARM–the so-called Abortion Rights Mobilization–to strip the Catholic Church of its tax-exempt status because of its pro-life advocacy. The Catholic Church eventually won that case–but not until it had spent years and millions of dollars defending itself. The Catholic Church was just the biggest ARM target. If they had succeeded against the Catholics, they surely would have come after the Southern Baptist Convention, the National Association of Evangelicals, and The Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod.

If Mr. Obama is serious about civility he needs to withdraw Dawn Johnsen’s nomination. If she is confirmed, we will see a radical anti-Catholic, pro-abortion zealot influencing policy thoughout the Justice Department—but also policy throughout the entire federal government.

What we are witnessing right now is an anti-Christian programmatic pogrom. What is a “pogrom” it’s the word that describes anti-Jewish raids by Cossacks and others in czarist Russia, but a programmatic pogrom best describes what is happening right now. These are not isolated attacks. And while we no longer have Cossacks to threaten, we now have left-wing bloggers who actually call themselves Kossacks (after the Daily Kos). (more…)
