Colombian Christians Bless New President amid “Great Optimism” Over Nation’s Future

Juan Santosby Teresa Neumann : Jul 7, 2010 : Wesley W. J. Richards – Christian Today

“When someone is waiting with patience God rewards them greatly…I believe this is the Kairos (timing) of God for your life…The hand of God has supported everything you’ve done and will continue to support you. Thank you for not anticipating events, thank you for waiting, because in His time you will receive the reward.”

(Colombia)—The new President of Colombia, Dr. Juan Manual Santos was overwhelmingly elected with the support from one of the world’s fastest growing churches winning 69% of the vote.

As reported in Christian Today, during his campaign Santos attended campaign meetings hosted by Misión Carismática Internacional (MCI), with more than 200,000 members and leaders from the church were also reportedly elected to the Senate, Congress and Andean Parliament for the ‘U’ party, led by Santos.

At an MCI conference earlier this year, Pastor Wes Richards, from King’s Church International in Windsor told Santos: “You helped to give this nation hope in dark moments of despair and when you have faced entrenched evil. We are all very grateful for the contribution you have made to the security of this nation.”

Australian Election – Will God’s shepherds rightly lead His sheep? Pr Daniel

Pastor Danny NalliahDear family & friends in Christ,

The body of Christ and our nation of Australia are at a very critical point in time.

We are facing a pivotal crossroad that will determine our corporate destiny of either exalting God’s righteousness and receiving His favour, or exalting unrighteousness (sin) and receiving His righteous judgment.

In the Church throughout our nation, the sheep desperately need their shepherds to lead from the front, under the authority and direction of the Chief Shepherd Himself, our Lord Jesus Christ. God by His amazing grace has given the Church another prophetic opportunity to see our nation of Australia come back to Jesus through either blessing or persecution. Which do you choose??

In the 2007 Federal Election many were confused as to whether Kevin Rudd was a true Christian or not, but I’m sure time has proven as to what sort of a Christian he was. Firstly, before the election when he refused to directly answer the question by a spectator at the footy finals, “Is Jesus the Son of God?” He replied, “I go to church on Sunday.” 

Then at his very last speech in Parliament as PM, he stated in his closing statement, “I better thank the great God and creator of us all, I thank him – or her – as well.” See http://www.theaustralian.com.au/full-transcript-of-kevin-rudds-farewell-speech/story-fn5vfgwx-1225883796571

How can Mr Rudd not realise that the Lord’s prayer starts with “Our Father who art in heaven” when they pray it every day in Parliament? Or was he actually mocking almighty God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit??  You be the judge. (more…)

‘I went into prison a terrorist and came out an evangelist’: Former Ulster fighter abandons life of violence after finding God

article-1293033-0a5ce605000005dc-283_468x665By Liz Hull on 9th July 2010

As a member of the Ulster Volunteer Force, David Hamilton’s life was peppered with violence and murder.

He was repeatedly shot, orchestrated bombings and bank robberies, and brought terror to the streets of Northern Ireland.

But after spending years in jail, the 56-year-old has turned his back on his old life and committed himself to peace as a pastor in England.

 New beginning: Former loyalist terrorist David Hamilton has abandoned his life of bombs, guns and armed robbery to become a pastor.

Mr Hamilton yesterday revealed he ‘found God’ while serving an 11-year sentence in the notorious Maze prison and currently presides over a 200-strong congregation at the Heaton Chapel Christian Fellowship near Stockport.

FAITH UNDER FIRE

Tom McMillinBy Bob Unruh July 07, 2010 © 2010 WorldNetDaily

The Attorney general has been asked to investigate arrests of Christians – State representative says in his speech, religious rights ‘can’t be just pushed aside’

A lawmaker in Michigan is calling on the state attorney general to investigate the arrests of four Christians at a recent Arab festival in the city of Dearborn, saying they were just “engaging festival goers in conversation about religion on public property.”

The call comes from state Rep. Tom McMillin, who has introduced a resolution to that effect.

His concern is over the arrests of four people during the Arab Festival in Dearborn, where police have been accused of enforcing Islamic law.

Indonesian Muslims Call for Halt to ‘Christianization’

MosqueBy Compass Direct News Sarah Page  – Sat 3 July 2010

Muslim organizations in Bekasi, West Java, on Sunday (June 27) declared their intention to establish paramilitary units in local mosques and a “mission center” to oppose “ongoing attempts to convert people to Christianity,” according to the national Antara news agency.

“If the Muslims in the city can unite, there will be no more story about us being openly insulted by other religions,” Ahmad Salimin Dani, head of the Bekasi Islamic Missionary Council, announced at the gathering. “The center will ensure that Christians do not act out of order.”

Observing an increasing number of house churches, Muslim organizations have accused Bekasi Christians of aggressive proselytizing. The Rev. Simon Timorason of the West Java Christian Communication Forum (FKKB), however, told Compass that most Christians in the area do not proselytize and meet only in small home fellowships due to the lack of officially recognized worship venues.

Many Christian seminary graduates prefer to remain on Java rather than relocate to distant islands, Timorason added, making West Java the ideal place to launch new home-based fellowships for different denominations. But neighbors see only the multiplication of churches, he said, and therefore suspect Muslims are converting to the Christian faith.

“The ideal solution is to have one building with a permit to be used by different denominations in each housing complex,” Timorason said. “If every denomination wants their own church in the same area, it’s a problem.”

Kanti Prajogo, chairman of the Congress committee, had hoped to present a written declaration of intent to city officials at the mosque gathering, but officials did not respond to his invitation, according to The Jakarta Post.

Around 200 people attended the June 20 Congress, representing local organizations such as the Bekasi Interfaith Dialogue Forum, the Bekasi Movement Against Apostasy, the local chapters of Muhammadiyah and the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) – two of Indonesia’s largest Muslim organizations – and the Islamic Defenders Front (FPI), well known for its aggressive opposition to Christians and other non-Muslim groups.

Good News! Mosab Yousef Can Stay in America

Mosab Yousefby Dan Wooding : Jun 30, 2010 :

Judge agrees to grant him asylum after governement drops its objection to him staying

UPDATE by Dan Wooding: (San Diego)—Mosab Hassan Yousef, author of the best-selling, “Son of Hamas” has won the right to stay in the Unites States after a huge campaign by both Christians and Jews had called for him to be granted U.S. asylum.

With his friends in court to support him, Yousef got the news during a 15-minute deportation hearing Wednesday (June 30, 2010,) in San Diego, California, after a U.S. Department of Homeland Security attorney said the government was dropping its objections.

Yousef is the eldest son of Hamas founder Sheikh Hassan Yousef, and became a Christian some time back after being given a Gospel tract in Jerusalem by a London taxi driver who was on vacation in the Holy Land.

After his conversion, he later became a spy for Israel’s Shin Bet agency and their leadership had praised his courage.

The battle to keep Yousef in American began when the DHS denied his asylum request in February 2009, claiming that he had been involved in terrorism and was a threat to the United States. (more…)

Mohammed (A Former Muslim) now preaching Jesus at CTFM this Sunday

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Mohammed a former Muslim from Pakistan, now a mighty Christian man of God, will be preaching at the CTFM base in Hallam at the 9.30am service. This man of God was once a very prominent and radical Muslim leader in Pakistan who hated the Christians and Jews, but today he absolutely loves everyone with the love of Jesus!

He was born into a very strict and radical Muslim family in Pakistan.  His father was one of the leading Islamic clerics in the country. When his Muslim parents found out that their son had become a Christian, they wanted to kill him, but most amazingly God protected him.

This dear brother in Christ has served with the Pakistan Air Force for many years. Once he was born-again he began to share his Christian faith with everyone he met, including his Muslim mates in the Air Force. When the Air Force found out that he had become a Christian he was sentenced to jail. After 4 months he was miraculously released from prison.

US FalconsURGENT, URGENT, URGENT

Posted: Wednesday, June 30, 2010 
by JERRY GOLDEN, The Golden Report

There is a very large naval force that has come together in the Persian Gulf and surrounding Iran.  The USS Carrier Harry Truman has pulled into the area loaded for bear.  Israel and the US have grouped bombers and fighter jets in many countries in the Middle East, Azerbaijan, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Afghanistan and others.  Over the past week USS warship have went through the Suez Cannel, as have Israel subs all capable of launching a Nuclear Attack.  And if Iran has already obtained or developed a nuclear warhead this thing will certainly go nuclear bringing the world into a global war.  In fact, if Iran goes to the nuclear option Israel will have no choice but to take out Syria, Hezbollah (now all of Lebanon) and the Hamas in Gaza, and also Egypt if it tries a sneak attack, in short order or face terrible civilian causalities. 

While most people are concerned and closely watching the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and justly so, all hell is about to break lose around the world if Iran is attacked.  Another decoy or if you will smoke screen is the change of command in Afghanistan that has also found 24/7 coverage in the media news.  To put it bluntly, folks we are in deep trouble and if you haven’t made your peace with the Prince of Peace Yeshua you are in even worse trouble, if you haven’t prepared and stored some water and food, made some arrangements for your family all I can say is shame on you.  If you are Jewish and you haven’t bought that air plane ticket to Israel, shame on you as well. 

We always hope and pray that once again this is just the kid shouting wolf, wolf but I am afraid the wolf is here, and all that fire power now gathered in the Persian Gulf is far greater than anything we have ever seen in the past, this is just plain serious and explosive.  It is very obvious that Iran cannot be threatened or bluffed, and sanctions have no effect, leaving only the military option, so here we go.

‘Burqa ban’ (face-covering) bill in NSW parliament

Islamic women wearing Burqa (face-covering)

by Salt Shakers
 
Last month, Rev Fred Nile of the Christian Democratic Party tried to introduce a private member’s bill into the NSW Legislative Council that would ban the wearing of face-coverings that conceal identity. This has become known as the ‘burqa bill’ as it would prohibit the wearing of the full face-covering burqa and niqab.
He couldn’t get permission to explain the Bill – the Council voted against allowing a debate.
 
However, he has since been granted permission to introduce and explain the Bill. This explanation was supported by most of the MLCs – with the exception of the four Greens and family First MP Gordon Moyes (see article at bottom of report).
 
His media release says that, in his speech on 22 June, “Amidst angry protests, Rev Nile gave a detailed speech addressing accusations of racism and religious discrimination, stating the bill had nothing to do with race or religion.”

Read Fred’s media release –
http://www.cdp.org.au/media-release/78-people-power-forces-introduction-of-burqa-bill.html
 
In his speech, which is included in the media release, he said “The purpose of the Summary Offences Amendment (Full-face Coverings Prohibition Bill 2010) is relatively straightforward. It is based on the Belgium bill. This bill is to prohibit the concealing of a personal identity whilst in public without a reasonable excuse to do so. As I have already stated, nowhere does the bill mention “burqa” or “Muslim”. While this legislation has become known as the burqa bill, the scope of the bill is much broader than just that one item of clothing.” (more…)

New Prime Minister / Mount Ainslie / Election 2007 – By Ps Daniel Nalliah

Pastor Daniel NalliahKevin Rudd and Julia GillardDear family & friends in Christ,
 
It is so great to be back home in Australia.  I am sure we all know that there is no place like home.  Our time in Israel, Jordan, Sri Lanka & Malaysia was fantastic. While I was in Sri Lanka I heard the shocking news that Kevin Rudd was no longer the PM but Julia Gillard had taken the top job.
 
I received many emails asking me what I thought about it and what’s going to happen to Australia with a self confessed Atheist as Prime Minister.   Sorry for not getting back to you before, but I was so very busy since returning from overseas and have also been reading many articles about this issue and seeking God’s wisdom before making any comments.
 
As you all know by now I tell people, ‘what they need to hear and not what they like to hear.’   Let’s give credit where it is due.  Unlike Kevin Rudd, at least PM Gillard has been honest in telling the people that she DOES NOT BELIEVE IN GOD.   However, is this the beginning of the end for Australia ??  This will depend on how you vote at the next election which could be anytime between now and November 2010.
 
In October 2009 we at CTFM carried out a spiritual warfare prayer assignment with the help of many other prayer warriors on Mt Ainslie in Canberra and around 30 other mountains across the country. We specifically prayed for rain, the breaking of the drought and that there would be no major bush fires.  Then we stretched our hands over federal parliament and prayed for ungodly leaders in parliament to be removed and righteousness to be restored.
