The Power of Unity – Vic Election and the Christian values based parties / Church leaders refuse to speak out – Will we pay the price?

Dear family and friends in Christ,

First let me take this opportunity to thank everyone who voted, supported and prayed for us. This was the first State Election that Rise Up Australia Party contested (although we contested the Federal Election last year) and I must say that we learned a lot.

Something very significant happened in this election in Victoria. The Christian values based parties worked together as a block in sharing first preferences with each other and the results were very good.

In most regions with the strategic preferences, we came very close to winning Upper House seats, and it seems that at least one Upper House seat will now be secured, with three more seats currently in question. (Some 90% of the upper house votes are yet  to be re-checked).

This clearly shows the power of unity as Jesus said, where He prays for all believers in John 17:20-23.

“My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, 21 that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22 I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so that they may be brought to complete unity. Then the world will know that you sent me and have loved them even as you have loved me”.

On another note, although some church leaders I know of spoke out regarding the election, once again many church leaders refused to speak out and tell the people how to vote.

Faith Leaders Unite To Protect Life, Faith & Moral Values

Faith leader's statement on our shared values to save our babies, our morals, our schools and our faithMedia Release – For Immediate Release – 24th Monday November 2014

Rise Up Australia endorses faith leader’s statement on our shared values to save our babies, our morals, our schools and our faith

Daniel Nalliah, President of Rise Up Australia Party, is one of the first party leaders publicly to endorse a remarkable joint statement (click the photo on the left to read) by the eminent leaders of the Jewish, Christian and Muslim faiths identifying the four crucial moral issues in the Victorian State election.

Rabbi Shimon Cowen, Bishop Peter Elliott and Imam Riad Galil say in their statement that The Victorian law permitting abortion without anesthetic until birth is the worst abortion law in the world. The UN-sponsored Safe School’s programme to promote homosexuality in schools under the guise of preventing bullying is an attack on the freedom of parents to have children raised according to the values of their faith. Labor’s proposal to force religious schools to employ staff who do not share the school’s religious faith attacks the freedom and integrity of religious institutions. All parents are entitled to obtain a religious education for their children but that neither of the major parties has announced a commitment to fulfilment of this need.

Mr Nalliah, lead Upper House candidate for the South-Eastern Metropolitan Region, said “Faith leader’s statement recognizes our common cause to protect the Faith, Values and Moral decay in society. Never before has our heritage of moral principles been under such relentless and deliberate attack as it is today. Faith leaders stand united in their profound concern at the deliberate assaults on the moral principles on which Australia and the West were founded.

He added that it is alarming that the United Nations, whose charter of human rights states that everyone has the right to life, does nothing to uphold the rights of little children in the womb not to be tortured and then killed. It is still more concerning that the UN is actively supporting the promotion of homosexuality in our schools as though it were a normal lifestyle when in fact it is a life-threatening choice. If a child is bullied for stealing, one does not stop the bullying by celebrating stealing. The UN has arguably out lived what use fullness it once had.”

Stop the torture of unborn children or be jailed – Nalliah

Dear friends & family in Christ,

Following is a very important article about stopping the torture of unborn children, written by Christopher Monckton of Brenchley.

Rise Up Australia Party has launched a major new campaign to protect babies being killed by abortion in Victoria from being tortured by abortionists during the death procedure.

Though the 2008 Abortion Law Reform Act in Victoria exempts abortionists who kill unborn children from prosecution for murder, the Federal 2010 Criminal Legislation Amendment (Torture Prohibition and Death Penalty Abolition) Act, which takes precedence over Victorian law, makes the torture of any person by or with the consent or acquiescence of any public official a criminal offence punishable by 20 years in prison.

Pastor Daniel Nalliah, founder and leader of Rise Up Australia Party, launched the campaign with a crowd of Rise Up Australia supporters on 10 November 2014 outside the “Fertility Control” and “Day Procedure” abortion abattoirs at 116-118 Wellington Parade, Melbourne.

You may click the following link to watch a short video of what happened yesterday outside an abortion clinic in East Melbourne and on the steps of Parliament.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaCKR-VMHro&feature=youtu.be

Pastor Daniel said that unborn puppies had more rights in Victoria than unborn children of our own species. It was unacceptable, he said, that in a society that called itself civilized unborn children should not only be killed but tortured before they were killed.

Unborn children of 17 weeks’ gestation or more, he said, were fully capable of experiencing the trauma and suffering of their own death-agony. Yet the law did not require them to be given an anaesthetic before they were torn limb from limb or soaked in caustic salts or injected to the heart with a painful and fatal poison.

RUAP Media Release: ‘A dog in Victoria has more rights than an unborn child of our own species’ – ‘End criminal torture of unborn children’

For Immediate Release – Monday 10th November 2014

At 1 pm on Monday 10 November 2014, Daniel Nalliah, leader of Rise Up Australia Party, will hold a press conference outside the “Fertility Control” abortion clinic at 118 Wellington Parade, East Melbourne to launch the party’s campaign to end the torture of unborn children.

At 2 pm, at the State Parliament in Melbourne, Mr Nalliah will hand in letters asking the Premier and the leader of the Opposition to consent to an urgent amendment to the Abortion Reform Act 2008 obliging abortionists to give an individual anaesthetic to every child of 17 weeks’ gestation or more who is to be aborted, to ensure that he or she is not tortured.

Mr Nalliah said: “By this major initiative we will persuade our legislators to make sure that any child capable of feeling pain and experiencing suffering is spared the excruciating terror of his or her own death agony. Victoria law – for now – permits abortionists to kill children, but Commonwealth and international law, which take precedence over State law, expressly prohibit torture.”

“The procedures inflicted by abortionists on little children offend not only against the explicit bar on procuring abortions in the Hippocratic Oath but also against the central principle underlying that oath: Primum non nocere: ‘first and foremost, not to cause harm’.

“The Australian Federal courts have held that smacking a child can be illegal: yet the law in Victoria permits killing a child. A dog in Victoria has more rights than an unborn child of our own species. Labor and the Greens refused to include a provision in the 2008 to prevent torture of babies by requiring a simple injection of anaesthetic. Torture is punishable by 20 years’ imprisonment.

“On behalf of those who have no voice and no vote, we are warning our lawgivers that they must do what is right and – if they must allow child-killing – make sure, by an abundance of caution, that they prevent the torture of the innocents that is now occurring in our hospitals and clinics, to the shame of our civilization. Who in conscience can refuse this measure?”

Should You Turn Your Light on at Halloween?

Dear friends & family in Christ,

We’re posting the following article below for your prayerful interest and Holy Spirit led action as we proclaim & demonstrate that Jesus is Lord over Halloween!
by Riley Stephenson, KCM Minister of Evangelism

Whether or not to participate in Halloween activities has been a big debate among the members of the Body of Christ. As believers, we have nothing to fear when the Holy Spirit is our guide. What does He have to say about this issue?

The Bible tells us not to “copy the behavior and customs of this world” (Romans 12:2, New Living Translation). But this verse should not be an excuse for us to shut the door on the world. We also need to let our light shine, as my family and I learned a long time ago—especially on the darkest day of the year!

For years my wife, Kim, and I would not turn on our porch light at Halloween. When persistent trick-or-treaters knocked on our door anyway, our family ignored them. We would not let our girls carve pumpkins or color Halloween artwork at school or go trick-or-treating.

Then one year the Lord spoke this scripture to our family: “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven” (Matthew 5:16, New King James Version). We realized that God wanted us to reach out to our neighbors on Halloween night. So we changed our MO! We bought good candy, not the cheap stuff—you know, the kind that has bubble gum in it that loses its flavor as soon as you put it in your mouth. We got chocolate bars! And we began to minister the love of God to those who were participating in Halloween. We handed out candy to our neighborhood kids, gave them tracts, and asked them if we could pray with them about anything.

Halloween is a great time for us to get to know our neighbors. Streets are packed with parents and children. Paul said it this way: “When I am with those who are weak, I share their weakness, for I want to bring the weak to Christ. Yes, I try to find common ground with everyone, doing everything I can to save some. I do everything to spread the Good News and share in its blessings” (1 Corinthians 9:22–23, NLT).

As Christians, we walk every day in the burden-removing, yoke-destroying power of God (see Isaiah 10:27). If we close our door on our neighbors at Halloween, if we “turn our lights off,” we miss a big opportunity to remove burdens and destroy yokes from other people’s lives.

RUAP Media Release: Is the 6 year old Muslim Boy a Moderate, Radical, Terrorist or a Mascot / Do DHS & the Government have the guts to remove these children??

Media Release – For Immediate Release – 30th October 2014

As reported on channel 7 yesterday and today, four young boys were displayed on a stage in Sydney, Australia by older men who escorted them to the stage, where the boys speak of an Islamic Caliphate in Australia & death to democracy. The youngest boy who is just 6 years old, declares that you are never too young to be a soldier.

Is the 6 year old Muslim Boy a Moderate, a Radical, a Terrorist or a Mascot ?? Do DHS & the Government have the courage to remove these children from their families into protective custody for rehabilitation to save their lives, and more so, to protect Australia from possible disaster??

You may watch the link below.

https://au.news.yahoo.com/nsw/a/25383009/aussies-have-a-right-to-be-outraged-bishop/

This footage which incites young Muslim children living in Australia to hate non-Muslims is appalling, and needs immediate action by the Government.

The National President of Rise Up Australia Party, Daniel Nalliah stated, “I have been warning Australia and the west for the past 15 years of the evil of fundamentalist Islam.

I recommend that these children be immediately removed into protective custody, and the adults promoting this event be imprisoned and their organization shut down.

But I dare say, neither DHS nor the Government will have the moral fortitude to  remove these children because of fear of retaliation by the Muslims. Our politically correct leaders will continue to give into this nonsense until we lose our rights and become invisible prisoners in our own country.

Brian Houston, the Golden Rule and the Golden Calf

David Ravenhill

It was wise old Solomon who said, “There is nothing new under the sun.”

Megachurch leader Brian Houston’s response to the LGBT issue talks about “the world we live in, there’s the weight we live with, and there’s the Word we live by.” The present world we live in is no different than the world of the past. Jesus made it abundantly clear that the world of Noah’s day was no different than the world of today or that of the future. “As it was during the days of Noah so shall it be at the coming of the Son of Man.” That being the case, then the weight we live with has not changed either. The issue of sin and depravity is as old as the fall of man. Likewise the Word we live by is just as relevant today as it ever was. God is not in catch up mode when it comes to being abreast of current trends, trials, and temptations.

What every spiritual leader needs to remember is that God chose His first priesthood on the basis of their willingness to separate themselves from the idolatry and immorality that the rest of His people were condoning and practicing. Allow me to jog your memory for a moment. God had originally planned for the head of every household to function in a priestly calling. We see this in operation at the first Passover when the children of Israel did not have to wait for a delegated priest to preside over the sacrificing of the Passover lamb. The responsibility was given to the head of each house. This today we refer to as the priesthood of all believers.

What brought about the change in leadership happened at the time of the golden calf. Israel, you recall, became anxious about Moses who had left the camp to meet with God. Following his departure the people pressured Aaron into giving them a god that would go before them and lead them. Aaron bowed to the pressure and created the golden calf. What followed was nothing less than a sexual orgy. Israel gave themselves over to every base and degrading sexual passion imaginable. During the height of this sex feast God issued a challenge through Moses who had now returned to the camp for anyone and everyone to separate themself and stand with God against all the carnality, immorality and idolatry. Out of the twelve tribes, only the tribe of Levi responded and answered God’s call.

Child marriage: one in three brides under 18 wed before 15th birthday

theguardian.com, Tuesday 22 July 2014

More than 700 million women worldwide were married as children, with one in three of them married before their 15th birthday, according to a global prevalence study.

As activists, politicians and campaigners gather for the first Girl Summit on child marriage and female genital mutilation (FGM), a report by Unicef, the UN’s children’s agency, reveal the devastating situation of millions of women.

The study, the first of its kind, also reveals that more than 130 million girls and women have experienced some form of FGM, and states that urgent efforts are needed to tackle gender inequality or the number will not reduce. If the current decline in FGM continues at the same rate, more than 63 million more girls could be cut by 2050.

About a third of child brides live in India, according to Unicef. If nothing more is done to end the practice, the number of married girls could increase to more than 1 billion by 2050. Population estimates suggest the number could leap from 700 million to 950 million by 2030 and 1.2 billion by 2050. At least 280 million girls are at risk of becoming brides by the time they turn 18.

Vatican Document Makes Dramatic Tone Shift Over Homosexuals

10/13/2014 Philip Pullella/Reuters

In a dramatic shift in tone, a Vatican document said on Monday that homosexuals had “gifts and qualities to offer” and asked if Catholicism could accept gays and recognize positive aspects of same-sex couples.

The document, prepared after a week of discussions at an assembly of 200 bishops on the family, said the Roman Church should challenge itself to find “a fraternal space” for homosexuals without compromising Catholic doctrine on family and matrimony.

While the text did not signal any change in the Church’s condemnation of homosexual acts or its opposition to gay marriage, it used language that was less judgmental and more compassionate than past Vatican statements under previous popes.

The document will be the basis for discussion for the second and final week of the assembly, known as a synod, which was called by Pope Francis and focuses on the theme of the family.

It will also serve for further reflection among Catholics around the world ahead of another, definitive synod next year.

“Homosexuals have gifts and qualities to offer the Christian community: Are we capable of welcoming these people, guaranteeing to them a further space in our communities? Often they wish to encounter a Church that offers them a welcoming home,” said the document, known by its Latin name “relatio.”

Hillsong Founder Denies Covering up Father’s Sex Abuse

Charisma News – 10/13/2014 Sarah Pulliam Bailey/RNS

Days ahead of an annual conference in New York’s Madison Square Garden, the founder of the Hillsong music and church empire is facing strict scrutiny for what he knew about sex-abuse allegations lodged against his father.

Hillsong is an Australian megachurch that has exported its influence to major global cities and into churches’ music across the U.S.

In 1999, Brian Houston’s father, Frank Houston, who was also a minister, confessed to sexually abusing an underage male at his New Zealand congregation 30 years before. In response, the younger Houston, who was then president of the Assemblies of God in Australia, fired his father, took control of the church and merged it with Hillsong.

The elder Houston died in 2004.

On Thursday and Friday, the son took the witness stand in Sydney and denied any attempt to cover up the allegations. Next week, Brian Houston will be in New York City for the church’s conference at Madison Square Garden.

In his testimony, Brian Houston denied trying to hide his involvement in a $10,000 compensation payment made to a man who was abused as a child by his father.

“I acknowledge the courage of the victim in taking the stand today to outline the trauma he has suffered by Frank Houston,” Brian Houston said in a statement. “However I disagree with his perception of the phone call with me, and I strongly refute that I—at any time—accused him of tempting my father. I would never say this and I do not believe this. At no stage did I attempt to hide or cover up the allegations against my father.”
