Mocking of Jesus on channel 10/Answers to prayer in Rockhampton QLD

Kitty FlanaganDear family & friends in Christ,

1 )I received this info yesterday and thought it was important that we act on it ASAP.

The link below is a portion of a program aired on Channel Ten on 4th Jan. While God has a sense of humour, this goes way beyond what is acceptable.

If this was about the Muslim faith and Allah there would be demonstrations and riots on our streets. How dare they speak about of Saviour like this!   I have heard that Channel 10 has been swamped with complaints.  I would encourage you to do the same and ask for a public apology.

To register your complaint call channel ten Melbourne, details as follows:

Glorious Praise & Worship ushered in the new year at CTFM base

Powerful WorshipDear family & friends in Christ,
 
The Ushering in of the new year was celebrated around the world with fire crackers, parties and family gatherings at homes etc, but the most exciting news is that there were also groups of Christians around the world who came together in prayer and worship to usher in the new year!  Glory to God!
 
Some of you may be surprised to know that also there was a another group of people who were very active during new years eve night, and that was the satanic cults and witchcraft covens. In fact we received messages that the covens had surrounded the Catch The Fire base and covered a five kilometre area trying to stop what we were doing.  We were also informed that some coven members were in attendance at our meeting.
 
Well glory to God, we were so excited to hear the news that the covens were trying hard to disrupt our meeting. This so challenged the people that the place exploded with mighty praise and worship right throughout the night. The presence of God was so strong, at times the people could hardly stand up! There was an amazing spirit of intercession at the meeting and warfare prayer.
 
The place was just bursting with God’s mighty presence. As the new year was ushered in, People danced, and shouted out loud proclamations of victory and declared prophetically “AUSTRALIA FOR JESUS!” three times. Then the showfars and trumpets sounded, while the musicians lifted up worshipful praise to Jesus. People aslo danced with banners and tambourines.

Surprise: More hate crimes against Christians than against Muslims

Islam FlagThis morning there was a report that a cab driver in New York was stabbed because he was Muslim. While the facts are still emerging, all reasonable people can agree this is a shameful and un-American act if this proves to be true.

This incident will undoubtedly be used by the media to further push the narrative that the controversy over the Mosque near Ground Zero in New York shows how Americans are bigoted against Muslims. So here’s some clarifying info from the FBI. According to the latest hate crime statistics available, there were 1,606 hate crime offenses motivated by religious bias in 2008. A closer look: 65.7 percent of them were committed against Jews. Against Muslims? 7.7 percent.

U.S. grants asylum to born-again ‘Son of Hamas’

MosabPosted: June 30, 2010 By Art Moore © 2010 WorldNetDaily

Homeland Security wanted to deport ex-Muslim who spied for Israel – Mosab Hassan Yousef
 
An immigration judge in San Diego ruled today the son of a Hamas founder who converted to Christianity and spied for Israel will be granted political asylum after the Department of Homeland Security dropped its objections.

As WND reported, Mosab Hassan Yousef had been denied his February 2009 request for asylum because the department interpreted his work as a counterterror agent with Israel’s Shin Bet security agency as engagement in terrorist activity, making him a threat to U.S. security.

Judge Rico Bartolomei ruled Yousef will be granted political asylum Aug. 26 after he is fingerprinted and passes a routine background check. Yousef says he wants to become a U.S. citizen.

Church Building in Israel Set Ablaze

Church FireFriday, 05 November 2010 Wayne King/Compass Direct News – Featured News

An unidentified arsonist in Israel set fire to a Jerusalem church building that has long been a focal point for anti-Christian sentiment in a Jewish ultra-Orthodox-leaning neighborhood, church officials said.

On Friday (Oct. 29) shortly before 1 a.m., someone broke the basement windows of the Jerusalem Alliance Church Ministry Center and set fire to its bottom floors. An area resident noticed the fire and called the fire department, which arrived 20 minutes later and found the church basement engulfed in flames.
 
Firefighters extinguished the blaze, ventilated the smoke and left after inspecting the rest of the building, said Jack Sara, senior pastor of the church.
 
Smoke and the noise of the blaze had awakened 10 volunteer workers who were sleeping at the church’s overnight facilities. The volunteers, who were visiting Israel from the United States and Denmark, went to a nearby hospital and were treated for smoke inhalation; they were released several hours later, church leaders said.

The Vicar of Baghdad Speaks Out About Recent Iraq Church Bombing

The Vicar and Teresaby Teresa Neumann : Nov 23, 2010 : Andrew White – The Jerusalem Post

“I live with many threats, along with my people, but our place is not sad but full of joy. Despite the constant tragedies, our people are not sad and our church is not despondent.”

(Iraq)—Many Breaking Christian News subscribers watched our exclusive video interview with the Reverend Canon Dr. Andrew White last year. Now, White is speaking out about the recent church massacre in Baghdad.

In excerpts from a Jerusalem Post blog, White writes: “In Iraq we have been under attack since the beginning of the war in 2003, but the past month has seen an escalation in our situation. Over the past year, 93 Christians were killed in my church. This month alone over 100 have been killed in Iraq. Some 59 were killed in a single massacre in the Syrian Catholic Church on the 31st of October 2010. Since then many more Christians have been targeted, blown up, told they no longer belong in Iraq and were advised to leave now or be executed. Things are so hard that many Christians are fleeing, or at least are trying to.”

“My security now is very intense and far greater now than in the post war year. It always used to amaze me when I went to church each week with body armor on, in armored cars and surrounded by Iraqi Military. I don’t think that there were many other ministers in the world who would go to church like this. Nowadays things are very different. I now live in the church Compound, and the security of the church is now completely different than before. Not only are we surrounded by bomb barricades, the number of police and army security is phenomenal—and they are all provided by the Iraqi Government. Not long ago I went to Kurdistan with my board chair Lord Hylton. We were given over 120 military security to get us out of Baghdad. Then we reduced to our normal 35 soldiers when we left Baghdad. The children of our church came to me and, pointing at the soldiers, told me they were my children. So from that day I call my security my children.

Bush Memoir Points to Faith-Based Decisions

President George W BushThursday, 11 November 2010 04:19 PM Jimmy Stewart News  

He never would have made it to the White House in 2001 as the country’s 43rd president without the faith-based decision he made in 1986.

“I could not have quit drinking without faith,” former President George W. Bush writes in his memoir, Decision Points, which released Tuesday. “I also don’t think my faith would be as strong if I hadn’t quit drinking.”

It was the first significant decision among several that ultimately solidified Bush’s resolve to act on his belief that God was calling him to lead the nation as president, the memoir shows, according to a report published Wednesday by Religion News Service (RNS).

That his politics were influenced by his faith in God after Bush took office in Jan. 2001is no revelation. But now he recounts in his own words, across the 497 pages, the ways his religious belief shaped his life and his politics, and thus his administration, RNS reported. His reliance on God, though not the central thrust of the book, remains a theme throughout, the report stated.

Amazing Dreams and Visions Coming Out of the Middle East

Muslim womanby Teresa Neumann: Nov 29, 2010 : Staff – Mission Network News

Middle East (MNN) ― Last week we told you about Muslim leaders warning Muslims about the danger presented by the “network of house churches” in the country. Despite threats, Christians aren’t easing their desire to share the Gospel. Many young Iranian leaders met in a nearby country to receive training from a E3 Partners team.

Vice President of Church and Ministry Partnerships with E3, Tom Doyle, says those who receive the training were young. “Many of them 22 to 25 are pastoring churches throughout Iran. And the church is growing in Iran. Obviously, it’s a very threatening existence for them.”

From there the team traveled to Israel. “My buddy Jason Elam, who used to be a place kicker for the [Denver] Broncos, was also hosting with me. He’s a wonderful Bible teacher. And he’s getting involved.”

The work in Israel focused on the city of Haifa. “Haifa is the place where Arab and Jews really get along in Israel, and they work together. We worked with a church there. [We] did some things in the West Bank and did Gospel outreach in Tel Aviv,” which is a secular city.

E3 has a desire to see the Middle East turn to Christ. Doyle says many are turning to Christ. He says the way they’re doing so is amazing. “We found that Muslim-background believers, many of them, in our informal surveys — maybe even as many as half of them — had a dream or a vision before they came to Christ. They became a ‘seeker,’ found a believer, heard a message on the radio, or found a Bible.”

Church Growth Exploding in Cuba

Cuban Churchby Teresa Neumann : Nov 17, 2010 : Mission Network News

Because music is such a major part of Cubans’ lives, many musicians are coming to Christ as well.

(Cuba)—Cuba is seeing one of the fastest church growth rates in the world, so much so, that the Southern Baptist International Mission Board (IMB) says there aren’t enough churches to hold all the Believers.

As reported in Mission Network News, church growth in Cuba is surpassing the speed of construction for houses of worship, which leaves some of the congregations worshipping in houses, garages, yards or on rooftops.

According to the report, an IMB team discovered that—because music is such a big part of Cuban life—one of every five people is involved in music in some way and as a result, many musicians are coming to Christ.

In 1960, Cuban Baptist churches numbered 210. Growth was slow over the next three decades, increasing that number by just 28.

WHEN HIS FATHER AND MOTHER FORSOOK HIM

Witnessing the Good News of Salvation in JesusGospel for Asia – November 16, 2010

Ajay Chattopadhyay’s parents want nothing to do with Jesus Christ. In fact, they persecute their son for his faith in the Lord. But that was not always the case.

When Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Jyoti Banerjee shared the Good News with Ajay and his parents, all three chose to leave their traditional religion and follow Jesus. When Ajay decided he wanted to learn more of God’s Word, Jyoti encouraged him to attend a Gospel for Asia-supported Bible college.

Problems arose after Ajay enrolled in the Bible college. His relatives joined together, threatening Ajay’s parents with certain “inevitable consequences” if they did not reject their new faith. Because of continuous pressure, they turned their backs on Jesus and returned to their former faith. Ajay, shocked, began crying out to the Lord for them.

When Ajay returned home for vacation, he discovered that the religious teachings of their old faith had captured his parents’ hearts again. They tried convincing him to abandon Jesus, too, but he refused. He implored them to understand their need for Jesus. Angry, they forced him out of the house and told him not to come back until he had given up his faith in Christ.

Vatican: Koran encourages ‘killing Christians’ AKI

KoranMillions of dead Christians later…..finally, real “dialogue.” Now, duck!

Vatican City, 22 Oct. (AKI) – The Koran is a text that encourages Islam to impose itself with force and permits the killing of Christians, said Lebanon’s Catholic Patriarch of Antioch Archbishop Raboula Beylouni, addressing a Vatican meeting of Middle East bishops.

“The Koran gives Muslims the right to judge Christians and kill them with Jihad,” he said. “It gives orders to impose religion with force, with the sword. For this reason, Muslims don’t recognise the freedom of religion among themselves or others.”

Christians, Jewish Leaders Protest Iran President Outside UN

Wednesday, 22 September 2010 01:54 PM EDT Adrienne S. Gaines News

Christians joined with Jewish leaders Tuesday to protest the appearance of Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad at the United Nations General Assembly this week.

Representatives from the New York Board of Rabbis and Eagles’ Wings’ ministry formed a human chain outside the United Nations building in New York, singing and blowing a shofar to condemn the U.N.’s inclusion of Ahmadinejad, who has called for Israel to be “wiped off the map.”

“Anyone who is concerned about human rights, anyone who is concerned about the basic values of human rights that the United Nations purports be founded on needs to take a stand against this tyrant, this despot Ahmadinejad,” said Robert Stearns, founder of Eagles’ Wings, a New York-based Christian ministry that supports Israel through prayer and social outreach.

Military Troops Request More Scripture in Afghanistan

solidiers at the frontThursday, 11 November 2010 04:00 PM EST Danielle Tomlinson News – Featured News    

Since October there has been an overwhelming demand from troops in Afghanistan for the Military BibleStick, an MP3 audio Bible with the entire New Testament preloaded from Faith Comes By Hearing (FCBH).

Military chaplains overseas have recently requested more than 20,000 audio Bibles for the troops. FCBH reports they will be able to meet about half of their need.  “Our heart as a ministry is to provide the Scriptures in audio to anyone who asks,” said Jon Wilke, spokesman for the Military BiblesStick project. “However, the demand for these devices—for God’s Word in audio format—has just been overwhelming.”

The Military BibleSticks are sent to military chaplains free of charge based on donations from churches and other organizations. The audio Bibles retail for $25 and FCBH has distributed more than 70,000 BibleSticks to military troops overseas in Iraq, Kuwait, Kosovo and Afghanistan since 2008.

Loosed from Chains

Being set fee in Jesus Name!5 October 2010 Gospel for Asia

Demon possession is a common occurrence in South Asia. In Umed’s case, it was so severe his family kept him chained.

Chains held Umed down. They were the only things that worked to tame the 17-year-old boy when demons took control of his body and gave him unnatural strength.

Umed had chains wrapped around him when Gospel for Asia-supported missionary Aiman Patil met him.

Aiman immediately knew the source of Umed’s suffering and felt moved to share the Gospel with his family. When he did, he helped them understand that Umed’s condition could be healed only through prayer and belief in Jesus Christ, who has the power to deliver people.

As Feared: London borough becomes ‘Islamic republic’

Lutfur RahmanFriday, October 22, 2010 Atlas

As predicted here at Atlas, the vile Islamic supremacist, through massive voter fraud (isn’t always how they get their way?), has taken the election.

In my New York Times interview here, I repeated what I have said and thought for some time — that the first country that will be Islamic in Europe will be the U.K. This terrible election victory just validates my prediction. An Islamic supremacist with fundamentalist links was elected Executive Mayor of Tower Hamlet council, with control of over a billion dollar budget.

Mind you, he was previously fired for extremist ties. But the Islamic machine went into overdrive and fraudulently gamed the system. Tower Hamlets moved from a conventional leader system to a mayoralty this year as a result of a campaign spearheaded by the Muslim extremist group the IFE. IFE’s Abu Talha told an undercover reporter for The Sunday Telegraph and Channel 4’s Dispatches: “The mayor is going to have a lot more control. That’s why we need to get someone, one of our brothers, in there. Which we will do.”

And they did.

Labour: London borough becomes ‘Islamic republic’ Telegraph

Outside the Wellington Way polling station in Tower Hamlets yesterday, as at many other polling stations in the borough, people had to run a gauntlet of Lutfur Rahman supporters to reach the ballot box. As one Bengali woman voter went past them, we heard one of the Rahman army scolding her for her “immodest dress.”
