Urgent Prayer Call / Bushfire crisis in NSW / Aussies unite in prayer

Bushfires in NSWDear friends & family in Christ across Australia,

I’m sure that most of you would be aware that some parts of NSW are currently under threat from bushfires.

CTFM is urgently calling all Christians across our nation to unite in prayer with other believers today at midday wherever you are to prayerfully seek the Lord for the much needed rain and appropriate winds from heaven to protect NSW from any further disaster.

13 When I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, 14 if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.“  2 Chronicles 7:13-14

This morning we woke up to the news that possibly hundreds of homes have been lost with many properties destroyed. We thank God that there are no reported casualties at this time.

More exciting Pro-Life Testimonies / Live webcast & Pr Daniel’s birthday at CTFM this Sunday 20th Oct / Ev Jason spreads Holy Spirit fire in Perth

Dear friends & family in Christ,

1) Last Sunday 13th Oct, we at Catch The Fire Church in Melbourne we were blessed to have Kay Painter from Remembering S.A.R.A. Ministries International speak to us at our 9.30 am and 6.30pm services.

Kay spoke of her abusive marriages, her abortion and her joy of finally coming to know, really know Jesus forgiveness, healing, being born again and that God had a purpose for her life. That’s why she came to Australia.

Kay also was our guest speaker at our Ladies Afternoon Tea. As many people were touched by Kay’s testimony which is in her book “From Sin And Sorrow To Service” we opened the Ladies meeting to men as well. At all three meetings many men women and some children received healing from trauma, restoration of their lives, Salvation and deliverance. Jesus said that He came to set prisoners free and heal the broken hearted and He did just that.

Ps. Geraldine of CTFM, who is in charge of “Option Plus Care” Pregnancy Crisis and Care Counselling (A division of CTFM) told us of one lady’s amazing testimony after the March for Babies last Saturday 12th Oct.

“I came to this rally and watched both sides with curiosity. I have to admit I was planning to join the ‘other side’ and I was pretty excited, it was to be my first ever rally. I got the shock of my life when I saw how ugly they were and I had to sit down to stop myself trembling. I am having triplets, cancelling my abortion Monday morning. Thank you. My heart has been changed.”

Darwin – Lump dissapears / Curses broken / Salvations / 30 Pastors and leaders from many churches unite

Dear family & friends in Christ,

What an amazing weekend it has been. God moved most powerfully amongst His dear people in Darwin as many people joined together to hear the Word of God preached by Pr Daniel.

It was so encouraging to see many Pastors who came to the meetings, including 2 Catholic Priests, mightily touched by the presence of God.

As people from several churches united in prayer, praise and worship, the anointing of the Holy Ghost powerfully touched many lifes.

Many shared their testimonies, including one Gentleman as to how he brought his sister to a Melbourne to a Catch The Fire service in Hallam. His sister had cancer and her kidneys were very badly affected, as she had a big lump (cist).

But he said praise God after Pr Daniel laid hands and prayed on my sister the lump disappeared. She is doing very well by the grace of God.

Another lady responded to the altar call in order to see generational curses broken. Her mother told her that she was an unwanted child and her father told her she should not eat, as she is not fit to live. This lady was very thin.

As Pr Daniel spoke on “How to be free from generational curses and that everyone is created in the image of God, and that everyone is so special, this lady came to the altar, broke down and started weeping as the Spirit of God mightily touched her.

The Blood of Christians on Obama’s Hands

Townhall.com ^ | September 10, 2013 | Scottie Hughes

Thirty-five miles northeast of Damascus is a small Christian village built into the mountains of Syria. Until yesterday, the most interesting thing about this town called Maaloula was that its 6,000 residents are among the last in the world who still speak Aramaic – the language Christ spoke as a boy in a carpentry shop, as man giving a sermon from a mount, and on the eve of his death and resurrection when he broke bread and poured wine and said, “This is my body…. This is my blood.”

Yesterday, according to reports by eyewitnesses, the Christians of Maaloula were attacked by a vicious army with no respect for human life and a special hatred for the Christians it calls infidels. They were driven from their homes. They were murdered in their streets.

Based on the recent rhetoric from President Obama and his administration, you might at first assume that the Syrian dictator and his army were responsible for this hate crime against the innocent Aramaic-speaking Christians of Maaloula. But the truth is quite the contrary. As has been the case in many prior attacks on Syria’s Christian minority, the culprits were al-Qaeda-linked rebels – the very same rebels Mr. Obama is preparing to help by bombing the Assad regime.

This past Sunday, as President Obama and his administration ratcheted up the usual media spin machine to promote their agenda, I was hoping pastors across the United States would stand up with moral courage and tell their congregations the truth about the ethnic cleansing of Christians in Syria. I was hoping that they would ratchet up the calls for the truth about who our enemies are. However, this administration and their media puppets have done such a good job of confusing the situation, many of those pastors have no idea who our enemy is.

Nick Vujicic Shares About ‘Divine Appointment’ With Limbless Girl in Malaysia

Charisma News – 9/5/2013 Gina Meeks

Evangelist Nick Vujicic shared an inspirational story of “divine appointment” on his Facebook page Tuesday.

Vujicic, who was born with no arms or legs, is in the midst of a two-week Christian outreach tour of several Asian countries.

With a photo of the family in the capital city of Malaysia, Vujicic begins, “Friends, I have an incredible story to share about a family I met in Kuala Lumpur.”

He goes on to say the family drove seven hours to meet him but found the event was filled when they arrived.

“After patiently waiting for more than 4 hours for us to leave the venue, they managed to track down which van I was in,” he continues. “That in itself was no easy task, as there was quite a bit of commotion exiting the event, and our convoy was made up of three different vans which carry the team and our gear.

“They followed behind us, planning on saying hello whenever we reached our destination. When we stopped for fuel, they came running out of their car. Our host, Joshua, saw them coming up to the van and said to me, ‘Wow, you’ll never believe what I’m seeing. There’s a family with a girl who has no arms and no legs, and they’re coming to see you.’

Salvations, Deliverance & Holy Spirit Fire in Sydney / Pr Daniel in Melbourne this Sunday 6th Oct / Darwin 12th & 13th Oct

Dear family & friends in Christ,

1) On this past weekend gone by Pr Daniel ministered in 3 different churches in Sydney.

We praise and thank God for the awesome worship at these meetings as the presence of God was so great that Pr Daniel started praying for people before preaching.

Many people came to the altar at every meeting as Pr Daniel laid hands on them, anointed them with oil and prayed over them in the name of Jesus.  Many started weeping and repenting in the presence of God.  One young lady who had come with her mother was delivered and set free from several demonic spirits.

When she came into the meeting, she seemed quite worried, but when she left, she had a great big smile and was just completely transformed.

She, her mother and niece all gave their lives to Jesus.  Several people who were mightily touched by God rededicated their lives to the Lord at all the meetings.

People were very greatly encouraged to hear all of the great testimonies coming out of from the Rise Up Australia Party campaign as many of the candidates in NSW were present at the meetings.

Pr Daniel thanked all those who prayed for and supported the RUAP campaign in NSW.  He also challenged the NSW team to get ready for their NSW state election.

He stated, “I am so encouraged by the excitement and passion demonstrated by the people in NSW, in particular the RUAP candidates.  I thank God for RUAP.

I know for sure we have already started to take ground and will keep doing so as long as it takes.”

CTFM new church project- unexpected answer to prayer

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We wish to thank you all for covering us in prayer regarding the new Catch The Fire Ministries base which was about to be built in Doveton, Victoria.

We’re sure you all know that the land right next to us was purchased by the Afghani Muslim community to build a mosque which we at CTFM opposed, but the local council granted the permit.

This matter was taken to VCAT and the hearing was adjourned to November.

In Luke 14:25-35 the Word of God speaks of the importance of counting the cost before moving to build a tower or going to war. Well, in the past few weeks we have been doing just that, spending hours prayerfully seeking the Lord’s direction as to what we should do.

Pr Daniel particularly asked the Lord for a clear sign to show him whether or not he should continue to fight this battle in the courts, as the whole purpose of opposing the construction of the mosque was based on the fact it was going to be built right next door to our future CTFM base.

We were ready to go all the way to the Supreme Court, even though it would have taken us around 2 years and tens of thousands of dollars.

Well, all glory to God that our prayers were answered in the most unexpected way.

Suicide bombers kill dozens at church in Peshawar in Pakistan

Christians mourn next to the coffins of their relatives killed in a suicide attack on a church in Peshawar.24th September 2013 – Reuters/AFP
A pair of suicide bombers blew themselves up outside a 130-year-old Anglican church in Pakistan after the Sunday service, killing at least 78 people in the deadliest attack in recent history on Christians in the predominantly Muslim country.

Explosions struck the historic white-stone All Saints Church in the city of Peshawar, near the frontier tribal areas where Islamist militants have their strongholds, as hundreds of parishioners, many of them women and children, streamed out of the building.

“I heard two explosions. People started to run. Human remains were strewn all over the church,” said one parishioner, who gave only her first name, Margrette.

Her voice breaking with emotion, she said she had not seen her sister since the explosions ripped through the area around the gate of the church enclosure.

Interior minister Chaudhry Nisar Ali Khan said the death toll included 34 women and seven children. More than 100 people were wounded.

“Who are these terrorists, killing women and children?” Mr Nisar said.

NOTHING LESS THAN SATANIC

By Alex Murashko, Christian Post Reporter – August 16, 2013

The recent barrage of attacks on Christians in Egypt, including on members and churches of the nation’s Coptic denomination, are of a scale unseen in modern times and being described as satanic, according to sources living in the country. The persecution watchdog group, Open Doors USA, says Egypt is engulfed in a furnace of fire and Christians are taking on the brunt force of the attacks.

“The attack against the Christians of Egypt is nothing less than a furious satanic attack that aims at terrorizing Christians, imprisoning them at their homes helplessly with no guarantee of protection so their love, peace, hope and testimony may be neutralized,” stated an anonymous Christian leader, whose name is being withheld for security reasons, in a commentary obtained by The Christian Post.

“We, Christians of Egypt, are facing a severe time of persecution and suffering that we may have not witnessed since the Roman times!” the source explained.

Thursday evening, the overall picture coming out of Egypt from news reports was dire. Egypt’s health ministry said that at least 580 people were killed and more than 4,000 injured amidst clashes involving security forces and former President Mohammad Morsi supporters.

The Commentator : Islamism’s slow genocide against Christanity

Noah Beck – 20 August 2013

As Egypt’s Islamists blame Christians for the ouster of Mohammed Morsi, anti-Christian violence has reached epidemic levels, with an estimated 82 churches across Egypt attacked and heavily damaged by pro-Morsi supporters in a mere 48 hours.

Unfortunately, the persecution of Christians is nothing new in Egypt or other Muslim-majority countries. But thanks to the mainstream media, few Westerners understand the true scale or nature of the horrors involved.

As you read this, Christians around the world are being murdered, raped, plundered, abducted, forcibly converted to Islam, or otherwise oppressed by Muslims. Christians in Muslim-majority areas are some of the most vulnerable and horribly oppressed people on earth; they live at the mercy of the mob and receive little or no protection from the police or other government institutions.

The reach of this silent tragedy is sweeping – a global religious genocide on “slow burn” with occasional conflagrations that make it into the mainstream media. There are an estimated 100 million persecuted Christians.

This massive crime is documented in shocking and painstaking detail in Raymond Ibrahim’s new book Crucified Again: Exposing Islam’s New War on Christians. The book is required reading for anyone who cares about religious freedom, human rights, and/or the survival of Christians in their ancestral lands.
