Modern Day Paul – African Warlord Who Killed Thousands Repents; Now Christian Evangelist

23rd Dec 2011 – http://www.christianpost.com

It’s a story of transformation that has surprised thousands and shocked all who have heard: a brutal African warlord with a violent past finds Christ and dramatically turns his life around.

Selected for The Economist Film Project, an initiative by The Economist in partnership with PBS NewsHour, “The Redemption of General Butt Naked” is a chilling documentary about the changed life of Joshua Milton Blahyi, once dubbed to be one of Liberia’s most feared warlords.

Now renouncing his violent past – which includes confessing to killing nearly 20,000 people during Liberia’s 14-year civil war – after converting to Christianity, Blahyi seeks to reinvent himself as an evangelist, traveling the nation as a preacher and asking for forgiveness from those whom he had hurt in the past.

Filmmakers Eric Strauss and Daniele Anastasion spent five years with Blahyi, closely following his troubled life as he sought forgiveness from his former soldiers and his numerous victims.

Strauss had become interested in Blahyi after he read about him in a book called The World’s Most Dangerous Places.

“It was just a tiny blurb about a notorious warlord who had killed thousands and was now walking the streets preaching truth and reconciliation,” Strauss told The Los Angeles Times. “I wondered, ‘Could someone like this really exist?’”

Exciting Australia Day Vision / DVD orders / CTFM website passes 5,000,000 visits / RUA prayer and upcoming schedule

Dear friends and family in Christ,

1) We received the following email from Brother Peter Kentley of Australian Marketplace Connections in regard to an exciting prophetic vision he received at the National Australia Day Prayer Gathering in Melbourne on Jan 26th, 2012.

We’re forwarding it to you for your ongoing prayerful participation.

Hi Danny,

Thanks for allowing me the honour of participating in the Australia Day Service at Scots Church.

During the worship before we sang the national anthem I saw in the Spirit the floor of heaven being cracked open in thin parallel slots that allowed the shekinah glory of God to start to be released downward like thin billowing clouds emerging through the roof of the meeting as an expression of God’s pleasure, and for the purpose of extending His blessing on Australia. (I could see this in the Spirit but not in the physical).

It was not a pouring down but a beginning. It was an outcome of human penetration of the floor of heaven that released the “early rains” of the magnitude and power of heaven that can accomplish anything God wants.

I understood that the power of heaven is constrained from the natural because the difference between heaven and the world is so vast that God does not give his shekinah glory lightly or easily. It is withheld from man’s grasp due to our rebellion and hardness of heart, as with Cain, Esau, Dan, Ephraim and Judas.

But at the Scots service heaven was taken by force (Matt 11:12).

And what was that force? …. (more…)

700 Aussie Christians, including 35 Pastors, Unite as Body of Christ to Prayerfully Storm Heaven for Australia’s Transformation

Dear family and friends in Christ,

The Australia Day National Prayer Gathering at the Scots Church in Melbourne, organised by Catch The Fire Ministries and supported by many churches, and ministries, was a great success for the unity of the Body of Christ and the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

 Around 700 Aussie Christians, along with 35 pastors and many other Christian ministers, filled the church in the city of Melbourne. Many carrying their Australian flags were so excited to see so many people of God lift up their hands to worship Jesus as King of kings and LORD of lords! There were people from every single state from across Australia present at the united prayer meeting for our nation’s transformation.

The interdenominational multi-ethnic prayer service started with the the minister from the Scots Church welcoming the people, and a great time of worship led by the CTFM worship team. Then the Uniting Church Minister prayed for Government & Leaders, followed by the AOG Pastor who prayed for protection from bush fires and thanked God for the rain.

As passionate Aussie Christians kept pouring into the auditorium, the place was full of excitement and the mighty presence of God filled the house. More worship was lifted up to heaven as people started interceding and praying for Australia’s revival, awakening, reformation and transformation.

Then the Baptist Minister led prayer for the nation and for revival in Australia. We also had prayer for the business and marketplace led by Brother Peter. Then Pas Daniel spoke on forgiveness and read a message from Pas Mark Conner of City Life Church.  At this point people gathered together and spent time searching their hearts and repented before the Lord from any anger, bitterness, unforgiveness, offence, etc.

Then the Indigenous elder Aunty Margorie from Darwin led in prayer and a song of worship about welcoming the Holy Spirit from the highest mountains to the lowest valleys throughout our nation and hearts. Following this the Catholic priest led the congregation in the Lord’s prayer.

Mighty weekend in the Presence of God in WA / 6PR Radio Interview / Australia Day Prayer / CTFM Schedule

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We are so excited to see the way God is moving in our nation of Australia, across this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!

Even though it seems like that there is no major breakthrough, we thank God for the remnant He has preserved who have refused to bow down to political correctness in our nation and within the Church. We believe the Lord will use this remnant to awaken the Church and to shake our nation with the power of God.

On Friday 20th Jan Pr Daniel ministered at Bunbury, where around 70-80 people gathered to hear the Word of God and his personal testimony. He also shared the vision and mission God placed in his heart to take Australia for Jesus by 2020. The people were absolutely challenged and many stated, “Thank God we have now once again received hope to see revival in Australia!” At the end of the meeting there was great excitement and many signed up for membership with Rise Up Australia Party.

Pr Daniel was also interviewed by Howard Sandler of 6PR Talkback Radio in WA regarding RUA Party. Pr Daniel had the opportunity to do the interview live from the radio station.  We thank God for a very productive interview.  Click the following link to listen.

On Sat 21st Jan at 11am Pr Daniel met with a group of very excited committed Christians in Perth for 3 hours. Some drove 5 hours to be at this meeting. Here we saw the birth of the State Executive for Rise Up Australia Party to Keep Australia Australian in WA. This 12 member team comprises of Doctors, Teachers, a Businessman, some who have been in Politics for many years, a Journalist, Housewives and a couple of Pastors.  Some others were so happy that they wanted to know more about RUA Party that they all met with Pr Daniel for coffee after the meeting, and finished up around midnight.

Pr Daniel stated, “I thank God for a very good state executive team that He has now given us for WA. They are all full of excitement and passion to keep Australia  Australian and see her come back to Jesus. I am very confident that they are going to do an amazing job at the next federal election. With God’s grace we will run candidates in all lower and upper house seats in WA.”

Sat night and Sun morning He ministered at Dream Life Church in Wangara where the Lord moved most powerfully at both meetings with many mightily touched by the power of God. Many responded to the altar call, including many youth. So many were just sobbing and crying at the altar as they were being prayed for. Many others just could not stand in the presence of God. Some received healing and some others were set free from bondages.

Here to many signed up to take membership with RUA Party. At the end of the meetings people were just buzzing with great excitement and joy. (more…)

An article in the Herald Sun newspapers today re Mandy & Nathan Ahmadi

Dear Friends,

Our office has received several calls and emails from people who want to know as to when and where would Mandy’s funeral be held. Also thank you very much for your many messages of sympathy and love for Mandy’s family. Be assured we will pass it onto her family.

As for the funeral, according to available information at this point, we understand that the Coroner has to release the body first, in order to plan the funeral. Please stay tuned into our website. As soon as we have the details of date, time and venue for the funeral, we will keep our website updated.

Please continue to pray for the rest of the family.

Mandy & Nathan

Dear family and friends in Christ,

Today’s Herald Sun newspaper has published another article regarding our dear sister Mandy, who has gone to be with Jesus. We want to thank the media for doing a great job from the time they got to know about it, in exposing this murder mystery.

Link to  Herald Sun article:

As we all know, with any issue some reports are not quite accurate.

1) One media outlet referred to us as “Gateway church” and not Catch the Fire Ministries.

2) Mandy and Nathan did not worship at Catch The Fire. They worshiped at Citylife Church. They have visited us on several occasions. Ps Daniel is not their Pastor, but a good friend.

Hillary Clinton goes off-script, suggests that Islamic governments fear religious debat

Posted by Robert on December 15, 2011 12:16 PM 

Off the cuff, Hillary says things that are likely to get her in dutch with the boss. “Hillary Clinton suggests Islamic governments fear religious debate,” by Neil Munro in The Daily Caller, December 15:

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton used an international conference on religious freedom Wednesday as a platform to suggest that Islamic governments which suppress Christianity are secretly afraid Islam will lose out in a public debate.

“Every one of us who is a religious person knows there are some who may not support or approve of our religion, but is our religion so weak that statements of disapproval cause us to lose our faith?” she asked the attendees, who included national representatives from the Organization of Islamic Cooperation.

“Especially when one person’s speech seems to challenge another person’s religion’s belief, or maybe even offends that person’s religious beliefs … we defend our beliefs best by defending free speech for everyone,” she said, while citing her own experience as a Methodist — a Christian movement made up of many Protestant denominations, and where debate is common.

Protect Your Man of God

by Dr. Larry Ollison

At a recent ministers’ conference, there was a seminar entitled, “Protecting the Anointing.” I overheard one minister comment, “Why should we try to protect the anointing? I thought it was the anointing that protected us!” Although his statement is true, it is also true that many times a good message from God can go unheard because of the senseless words of a third party. Let me explain.

A few years ago, I was prepared to deliver a specific word from God to my congregation. I spent much time in prayer and preparation in order to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit. I wanted to deliver the message accurately and in the spirit that I received it. As I turned a corner in the hallway to the auditorium, an usher stepped forward, pointed his finger in my face, and began to tell me how he and his family would be leaving the church because of a letter someone in our church had written. I let him rant and rave for a couple of minutes.

When I asked him what the letter said, still huffing and hyperventilating, he said, “Well, I haven’t actually read it myself, but I know what it says.” The letter wasn’t the issue. The enemy knew that I had a message from God. The enemy also knew who he could use to attempt to spoil the message. The incident did not affect the teaching that day, although it took me a while to refocus. Actually, it made me more determined to deliver God’s message to the people.

Targetting Darwish

Posted by Daniel Greenfield on Oct 11th, 2011

The recent conviction of the Irvine 11 was a reminder of how far the campus arms of the Muslim Brotherhood will go to silence dissenting speakers. For all their protestations during the trial, they don’t believe in free speech, what they believe in is a monopoly on campus speech.

Nonie Darwish, an ex-Muslim and an informed critic of Islam, has had her talks assailed by Brotherhood campus affiliates numerous times. In 2009, at Seattle University members of the Muslim Students Association did their best to disrupt a speech by Darwish. That same year at Boston University, a fire was set in a bathroom right before her speech to scuttle her presentation. Now, as Darwish was set to speak at a Federalist Society event at the George Mason University School of Law, another Muslim Brotherhood organization, CAIR, deployed a slightly more subtle line of attack.

While Muslim Brotherhood front groups routinely bring extremist speakers to campus, such as Imam Abdel Malik Ali and Norman Finkelstein, CAIR wanted the Federalist Society to provide equal time to a Muslim speaker to “balance” her views. The MSA has never extended such an offer to Jewish student groups, yet the Brotherhood expected it to be granted to them.

In her speech at George Mason University, Darwish described arriving at her first job in America and seeing a sign that said it did not discriminate. “For the first time in my life, I felt free and equal to men under the law.”
