How One Arab’s Hatred for Israel Turned to Love: All Things Are Possible!

Charles Gardner : Jul 16, 2015 : Israel Today

Even Christians in Egypt are encouraged to hate Jews. In writing essays, for example, the more vitriol you could express against them the higher marks you would get.

Sameh Metry leads a lively 100-strong Arabic congregation in Ealing while at the same time serving as vicar of an English-speaking church in nearby St Hugh’s, Northolt. And he showed his keyboard skills as he led a high-octane worship session during a conference in Manchester aimed at building bridges between Middle Eastern followers of Jesus.

He was born into a Coptic Orthodox family in Upper Egypt and became a born-again Christian at 15.

Catch the Fire & Rise Up Australia in Mildura

Dear friends & family in Christ,

Ps Daniel, with a team, spoke and ministered in Mildura over the last weekend.

His inspiring messages focused on his political journey thus far and what he believes will be the inevitable for Australia if Aussies will not recognize the developing multicultural trend of Islam in this country.

Sighting the persecution that is currently happening in Europe especially the plight of the Christians due to the current invasion of Islamic Refugees, Ps Daniel urged us all to be vigilant. Islamic populations in some parts of Europe have swollen to a disturbing 25%.

Many people in the meeting spoke out support and gratitude for his stand in Australia against Islam and for righteousness and our nation’s Judeo-Christian values.

Also, completely unexpected, a prominent Melbourne journalist, writer and Radio / TV presenter, who has been following the activities of Pastor Daniel for some time, walked into the meeting on Saturday.

At the end of the meeting, he was so touched that he talked with Ps Daniel for more than 1 hr and then gave his heart to the Lord Jesus when Ps Daniel laid hands and prayed for him. He came to church on Sunday morning and spent more than 3 hours in the presence of God and with Christian believers.

Study Finds American Evangelicals Stand Behind Israel

Study Finds American Evangelicals Stand Behind Israel; Here Are the NumbersBob Smietana/For Lifeway : Jul 27, 2015 : Charisma News

Slightly more than half of men (51 percent) say they support Israeli statehood, compared to a third (33 percent) of women.

A recent LifeWay Research study shows that American evangelicals remain among the strongest supporters of the nation of Israel. (Photo via YouTube)

Most believe God has plans for that nation, both now and in the future. And many of America’s preachers say Christians need to support Israel.

Those are among the findings of a LifeWay study of American attitudes toward Israel and the Bible. As part of the study, researchers conducted two separate surveys of 1,000 Americans, along with a survey of 1,000 senior pastors of Protestant churches.

“No piece of literature has had more impact on American culture than the Bible,” said Scott McConnell, vice president of LifeWay Research. “No country is more intertwined with the ancient Biblical narrative than Israel, and evangelical Americans see a contemporary connection with the nation.”

Muslims Who Watch This Spirit-Filled Preacher Are Turning to Christ

 7/21/2015 Leading the Way

As the world responds to the latest series of Islamic extremist attacks, including a Tunisia attack that killed 30 people, one story that isn’t being covered in the media is that Muslims are turning to Christ.

Twenty-one-year-old Hafid* from Morocco believed in jihad and killing anyone who did not follow the laws of Islam.

However, his life was transformed when he started watching Leading The Way’s 24/7 satellite television channel, The Kingdom Sat. Leading The Way is a television broadcast from the ministry of Michael Youssef.

“I started comparing Islam with Christianity and found there to be a lot of contradictions between the Hadith (the prophets’ teaching) and the Quran. I studied the Bible online. I wanted to tell you that I have decided to follow Jesus.”

After receiving this message, Leading The Way’s follow-up team led him to Christ.

The Godly Role of a Mother and Grandmother

Written by Lillian Penner – 28th July 2015

“I have been reminded of your sincere faith, which first lived in your grandmother Lois and in your mother Eunice and, I am persuaded, now lives in you also.” (2 Timothy 1:5)

If Timothy’s grandmother Lois had not been faithful in passing on her faith to her daughter Eunice and her grandson Timothy we probably would not have First and Second Timothy in the Bible today. This is a good generational example of the importance of passing on the faith to future generations. Lois is our forerunner who modeled grandmothering for us.

Isn’t it interesting that nowhere in the Bible does it say that the church has the primary responsibility to pass on our faith to the next generation? It makes clear that parents and grandparents are the principal conduit to instruct their children about God and His love for them.

Mother and Grandmother’s role

Many grandparents are greatly concerned that their children are not passing on the values and faith by which they were raised. Parents and grandparents have a crucial role to fill, if faith is to be found on earth when Jesus comes back for His own. According to God’s word, God wants parents and grandparents to focus on passing on a godly legacy to the next generations. The demonstrations of our faithful walk with the Lord and our prayers for our children are powerful ways to pass on our faith to the next generation.

My response to Leadership (office of PM) change in Australia – Ps Daniel / Live webcast Sun 20th Sept about honouring God & leadership

Dear family and friends in Christ,

On Monday night when the news broke that Tony Abbott was no longer the PM and that Malcolm Turnbull has taken over the top job of PM, I was very sad and disappointed.

The Liberal party had just done what Labor did to Kevin Rudd. My night was quite messed up, as I am sure many of you would have felt the same.

6 months after Mr Abbott took up the office of PM, I told my team, “the greatest threat to PM Abbott was not Labor but Malcolm from inside the Liberal Party”, and at this point I did ask my team to pray about this.

Well, in the most shocking way it happened overnight.

I woke up very early the next morning (Tuesday Sep 15th  2015) and started praying, asking the Lord for wisdom. To my surprise, I started getting the prompting by the Holy Spirit, “Bless the office of PM and do not curse it,” as I was very upset in my heart.

The following is what I believe the Lord would want the Church to do; to start praying for PM Malcolm Turnbull (also his family) and bless the office he is holding as PM of Australia.

I have also put this on video on YouTube at https://youtu.be/EyrrniooKyY

In God’s heavenly courtroom, Jesus is our advocate, but remember the devil is constantly accusing us in the sight of God. Every word which comes out of our mouths is taken by the devil or Jesus, so we must speak blessings and let the Lord be the judge.

Megachurch Trend Sees Global Growth: World’s Largest Congregations Are Now in Africa and Asia

July 25, 2015 – Beatrice Gitau – Christian Science Monitor

While the United States may have started the trend of megachuches, a new study shows that the future of super-size congregations lies abroad.

A survey by the Leadership Network, a Christian nonprofit organization, reveals that the world’s biggest churches are not in the United States, but in Asia and Africa.

For example, the world’s largest megachurch, Yoido Full Gospel Church in Seoul, South Korea has an attendance of 480,000 people. India is now home to more Christians than at any time in its history.

According to a list compiled by the Leadership Network, attendance is high in western and eastern Africa, and at least 25 of Africa’s megachurches are in Nigeria. Lagos, the capital, ranks second in the world after Seoul, with a combined weekly attendance of 346,500 people.

Take Christian & Yazidi refugees says RUAP Dr Daniel Nalliah

FOR URGENT RELEASE – WEDNESDAY 9th SEPTEMBER 2015

Rise Up Australia Party would formally welcome Syrian, Iraqi and Yazidi refugees who are fair dinkum.

This goes without saying.

You may click the following link to listen to RUAP National President Daniel Nalliah speaking out on the Refugee Crisis.

https://youtu.be/tmmOrbqd90I

From his Melbourne office this morning, Party President Daniel Nalliah stated: “I am proud of Australia’s long term policy of acceptance of the tired and broken and starving refugee. However, I am also not a mug. Contrary to the overwhelming media bias, I believe the most persecuted people, and children, in the entire Middle East are not the Red Cross mocking, agents of ‘Allah Akbar’ breaking Europe’s borders, one after another, but the Christian and Yazidi.

We should first and foremost, as has been suggested by Julie Bishop, Cory Bernardi and the P.M. himself, be giving favour to these aforementioned groups as they have zero Homeland status and on arriving in Australia would have near zero risk of becoming ‘radicalised’.”

WHAT A TRUE CHRISTAN REALLY LOOKS LIKE

4/29/2015 Bethany Blankley – Charisma News

It’s easy to understand why nearly all non-Christians, secularists and the media misunderstand Christianity. Today words and their definitions are nearly meaningless because the same words are used to support particular, even opposite agendas. Relativism and proof-texting are the means to this end, justifying the terms people use about themselves and others.

Division among denominations, churches, organizations, and even personalities advocating their own version of truth certainly hinders non-believers from understanding Christianity.

However, identifying real Christianity and the people of the Cross is straightforward.

Christianity is rooted in the historical person and work of Jesus Christ. Jesus’ words and actions communicate God’s unconditional, immeasurable love, expressing God’s unbending commitment to human redemption. To know Jesus is to know God; one’s belief about Jesus yields eternal consequences.

A true Christian believes Jesus is not only the Word of God but he is the key to understanding God’s revelation (John 1, 5, 8; Romans). Jesus made authoritative claims about His deity, the eternal co-existing relational nature of God, and the necessity for salvation, truth and life, all of which only He can provide. His claims got Him killed (John 10:29, 30, 8:24-27, 5:18, 3:35, 15:26, 19:10-11; Luke 2:49, 11:13; 1 John 4; 1 Pet. 1; Matt. 26:39).

Nigerian Native Christians Standing Firm against Boko Haram; Some Terror Members are Coming to Jesus

News Staff : Jul 6, 2015 : Christian Aid Mission

“In the midst of what is happening, we still thank God, because we are still alive; we are still working. If the Church is in hiding, who will know the Church? There must be missionaries who are so desperate for soul-winning that they’re ready to die.”

(Nigeria)—Far from allowing the Islamic extremist violence of Boko Haram to drive them out, native Christian workers in Nigeria’s northeast have expanded their church-planting ministry to meet the needs of displaced people. Their courage has contributed to several members of Boko Haram repenting and putting their faith in Christ.

Boko Haram rebels continue to lash out after losing ground to government forces earlier this year. Nigeria’s multinational military force, including troops and mercenaries from Chad and Cameroon, took back large swathes of territory in northeast Nigeria that Boko Haram had seized in its six-year crusade to impose sharia (Islamic law) throughout Nigeria. Despite the losses, Boko Haram has continued its campaign of terror, reportedly killing at least 2,700 people since the beginning of the year and some 300 in June alone.

Hindu Radicals Threaten to ‘Burn’ Indian Pastor Alive, Wipe Congregation From Town Following Church Attack

By Samuel Smith , CP Reporter – June 30, 2015|

A protester holds a placard during a rally by hundreds of Christians against recent attacks on churches nationwide, in Mumbai, February 9, 2015. Five churches in the Indian capital New Delhi have reported incidents of arson, vandalism and burglary. The latest was reported last week when an individual stole ceremonial items.

Following a mid-June attack on a Christian church in the Indian town of Attingal in Kerala state, Hindu radicals have threatened to wipe out a Christian congregation and burn the church’s pastor if they continue to worship and pray in there.

According to International Christian Concern, a U.S.-based Christian persecution monitoring organization, a mob of 200 angry Hindus surrounded the Reaching the World with Love Ministries Church in Attingal on June 14, while about 400 congregants were in the middle of their Sunday worship service.

As the large mob shouted loud Hindu chants, including “Bharat Mathaki” [Hail Mother India], the congregation’s pastor, known by the name Shiju, told ICC that 30 Hindus broke into the worship hall, charged at him while he was preaching and began beating him down and caused him internal injuries.

Media Release – IF PREMIER ANDREWS ABOLISHES RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN SCHOOLS, WE DEMAND REMOVAL OF ALL HALAL PRODUCTS FROM THE SCHOOL TUCK SHOP!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –  THURSDAY 27th AUGUST 2015

“VICTORIA” IS FAST BECOMING A MISNOMER FOR AUSTRALIA’S SECOND STATE; TRADITIONALLY OUR MOST CONSERVATIVE AND EDUCATED.

The only victories for the Garden state are those of the ALP “Stalinist regime”, as recently quipped by our Prime Minister. The Victorian Labor government has announced that SRI, the special religious instruction program will be dropped from classes at the start of 2016.

Boss Andrews has consulted neither the parent, teacher nor chaplaincy nor any religious group, with this red letter, bad decision.

Rise Up Australia Party leader Daniel Nalliah is struck by the rapid disintegration of our Christian values in what has always been a Christian nation:

“Generally, the blind acceptance of Islamic demands is very dangerous” Mr Nalliah said from his Melbourne office.

“The double standards of political correctness are staggering. A vocal, potentially brutal, minority have almost stolen Christmas”.

Absence of the Bible and religious instruction willingly volunteers our schoolchildren as cannon fodder for, inter alia, U.N. Agenda 21.

IT IS HYPOCRITICAL OF PREMIER ANDREWS TO REMOVE OUR JUDEO-CHRISTIAN HERITAGE FROM SCHOOLS WHILST ALLOWING THE NEAR MONOPOLY OF RELIGIOUS ITEMS IN SCHOOL TUCK SHOPS SUCH AS HALAL FOOD! BAH HUMBUG!

Great meetings in Darwin

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Ps Daniel spoke and ministered with his team this past weekend from Friday to Monday at several meetings in Darwin at a public hall, hotel, church and parliament.

Many who came for the meetings were greatly impacted to hear his message on “Why Christians should stand up for government.”

On Sunday at church the mighty presence of the Holy Ghost swept through the place as Ps Daniel shared the Word of God and led in worship and intercession.

Many people from other churches came to the meetings and were greatly blessed. Some stated, “We have never experienced anything like this ever before in Darwin.” Oh glory to God it was a great weekend!

People came to the altar weeping, asking more of God. Ps Merv the Senior Minister of the church, and a very well respected man of God stated, “Truly, God has sent this man (Ps Daniel) into Australia for an hour such as this to stand in the gap for our nation.”

Several people joined RUA Party understanding the importance of Christians having a voice in parliament.

Ps Daniel stated, “I thank and praise God for giving me this wonderful opportunity to serve Him in my nation Australia. I know Australia will turn back to Jesus. I also thank God for giving us the opportunity to go right inside parliament and intercede for our nation. It was just wonderful”.

Thank you Jan and all the team (our coordinator for NT) for doing a great job in standing in the gap for NT.”
