Dear friends and family in Christ, For those of you unable to attend the special Deliverance and Healing Meetings with International Evangelist Jay Bartlett from the US this Sunday 12th…
For those of you in the Melbourne area, you’re most welcome to our special Deliverance and Healing Meetings with International Evangelist Jay Bartlett this Friday 10th at 7pm and Sunday…

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?’”
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…)
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.

Dear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,
We thank and praise God for another wonderful weekend in His Almighty Presence!
Yesterday Sunday 8th Jan was testimony time at our morning service at CTFM as many people shared their amazing testimonies in giving God all the glory for the great things He has done! People listening to these testimonies were mighty blessed. Sunday night was another glorious service with many who were gathered responding to the altar call ‘To go all the way for Jesus’! This service was also webcast live as many watched all across Australia and overseas.
1) One young woman boldly got up and shared her testimony of how she was raped 3 times and that the 3rd time she was almost strangled to death. That it is only by the grace of God that she is still alive. There was pin drop silence in the congregation. Then she said how God had used her to save two young girls aged 13 & 18 who were raped and had attempted suicide several times. Through her testimony and love the 2 young girls are doing well. Glory to God. Everyone was mightily impacted by her testimony.
Following are three additional powerful testimonies.
2) Testimony of Barry Willis 29-12-2011
In September 2011 I was admitted to hospital with severe pain on my left side, and on examination they discovered a LUMP pressing on the Urethar tube (which joins the kidney to the bladder), it was stopping the flow. They then inserted a STENT to widen the tube releasing the flow once again and relieving the pain, but the stent was only a temporary measure, which meant that the stent would need to be replaced after 3 months whilst they tried to discover what the lump was.
Dear friends and family in Christ,
1) For those of you in the Melbourne area, the first Rise Up Australia prayer meeting in this New Year 2012 is tomorrow Friday 6th January beginning at 7:30pm, followed by an all-night intercessory prayer meeting that is also open to the wider Body of Christ for National Spiritual Revival, Reformation and Transformation.
2) Pr Daniel will be ministering at CTFM in Hallam at both the 9:30am & 6:30pm services this Sunday 8th January 2012.
Please note that the 9:30am service will include a special opportunity for people to glorify the Lord through sharing brief personal testimonies of the great things He has done and continuing to do!
Pr Daniel will be preaching the prophetic Word of the Lord at the 6:30pm service, which will be broadcast through live streaming beginning at 7:30pm on our website at www.reformationharvestfire.com
Dear family and friends in Christ across our nation of Australia, It’s with great joy that we wish to bring to your attention that the Australia Day National Prayer Gathering…
Mark Ellis : Oct 5, 2011 : God Reports
“Before the coma I denied Jesus. I heard His voice in the coma. He taught me the real meaning of love. Now I’m His.” -Randall Hall
(Laguna Beach, CA)—Randall Hall was once a free-wheeling playboy who traveled the world, went through women like “potato chips,” and dashed around town in his Mercedes 500 SL convertible. Seven clothing boutiques from Laguna Beach to San Francisco provided access to beautiful women ready to lay claim to his indulgent lifestyle. Then he tried to move in on someone else’s girlfriend one night at a bar in this coastal enclave. The woman’s boyfriend savagely attacked Hall after he left the bar, which left him unconscious, lying face down in an alley with blood oozing from a cracked skull.
To save Hall’s life, doctors at Mission Hospital induced a coma and removed a portion of his skull to relieve pressure on his brain. After five surgeries and complications due to infection, doctors failed in their attempts to bring Hall out of the coma. He lapsed into a persistent vegetative state for two years. Over time, his body atrophied and curled into a fetal position. His doctor estimated that only 30 percent of his brain function remained. Hooked up to breathing and feeding machines, with no response to sounds or movement, doctors recommended they remove life support.
From the beginning, Hall was a rebel who dropped out of school and became a professional escort at 17-years-old. Drugs, alcohol, sex, and travel fueled his innate passions, but in his early 20s, he found Jesus Christ at Calvary Chapel in Costa Mesa. “It lasted for about a year,” he recalls.
Then he fell back into his old lifestyle, which kicked into high gear. He was a prodigal powered by jet fuel. Hall believes God used the assault and subsequent coma to rescue him from his downward spiral. “I was a bad person,” he admits. “I always took other men’s women,” he says, a practice that led to the violent assault.
“I was going to hell if I died, but God saved my life,” Hall believes.
Dear family & friends in Christ,
1) Glory to God for another weekend full of Kingdom action under the anointing of the Holy Spirit, as the Lord moved mightily in Sydney where Pr Daniel ministered the prophetic Word at a Christmas evangelistic outreach organised by some Indonesian and Korean churches!
Some Indonesian & Korean churches combined together and did an amazing job with music, dance, etc.
The Christmas Love Street Parade was so great and very colourful that it attracted the attention of thousands of people in the CBD of Sydney.
At Park in Sydney, a few hundred people gathered to watch this great afternoon of celebrating the birth of Jesus!
As Pr Daniel spoke on ‘Remembering the Special Gift on Christmas Day” many people passing by watched and listened with great interest.
Additionally, over the weekend several people gave their lives to Jesus, including 2 Indonesian Buddhist men, a taxi driver and a young man from China that were all led to the Lord through Pr Daniel!
The 22 year old young man from China, a university student, came to the house where Pr Daniel was before ministering at the service, gave his life to Jesus, and was very keen to get baptised in water!
After speaking to the leaders of this fellowship, Pr Daniel baptised the young man in the bathtub in their house. As this young man came out of the water, he also received the baptism of the Holy Spirit and burst out praying in tongues! It was just absolutely amazing!

This very colourful and exciting event is expected to draw many people together to celebrate and remember the birth of Jesus. Pr Daniel will be the guest speaker at this event and he is looking forward to seeing you all there. Following is information regarding the event.
The LOVE FOR AUSTRALIA Christmas Parade starts at 2pm from Hyde Park on the 10th December 2011. For those who want to lend a hand on the day, please come at 12pm sharp.

More precious souls were radically born-again into the Kingdom of God (including a wiccan / vampire / princess of darkness and her boyfriend ), with many miraculously healed, delivered, set free, restored, revived, transformed and revolutionised by the manifest presence, glory and love of our Heavenly Father!

Praise the Lord for your webcast on Sunday…I not only had the blessing of watching Pastor Yun and your entire church service but my husband too watched most of it and opened his mouth to say something to me and to his surprise he began speaking in tongues…there was a sense of the Presence of God here and the anointing came with me as I travelled over to Westmead Hospital to see my Mum who had had a stroke…I prayed for her and could feel the power of God flow into her….

Dear family & friends in Christ,
We were so blessed to find out that 1160 computers were tuned into the first ever live webcast of Catch The Fire Ministries, as thousands watched the live streaming of the Heavenly Man, Bro Yun’s meeting last Sunday in Melbourne, Australia. The CTFM auditorium in Hallam was absolutely packed out with more than 400 people in attendance.
Everyone present was mightily blessed in addition to the many reports we received of many families all across Australia who were also tremendously blessed as they watched the webcast. We thank the Lord for this mighty man of God Bro Yun, his wife and their powerful testimony.
We would very much appreciate your feedback too if you watched the webcast. This would help us plan the possibility of live streaming our weekly Sunday services.
Also Pr Daniel had the opportunity to personally meet Bro Yun in Perth over the weekend. It was a great meeting of 2 men of God who have served the Lord with underground churches, Pr Daniel in Saudi Arabia and Bro Yun in China. Some others watching these 2 men of God meet stated, “It was like an explosion, as we all ended up on the floor on our knees weeping in the presence of God in Koorong book store.”
Pr Daniel had a glorious time of ministry in Perth & Geraldton, WA over the weekend as hundreds of people attended the Holy Spirit revival meetings. Many were healed, delievered and set free by the miracle working power of God, as a few surrendered their lives to Jesus, including the guest house owner where Pr Daniel stayed.
