Atheist Who Went to Hell and Was Saved Gives Riveting Testimony

Former Atheist Matthew Botsford and his wifeby Teresa Neumann : May 9, 2011 : Josephine Vivaldo – The Christian Post

“Hell is a real place. Hell was never intended for us; God doesn’t want any one of us to go there. He wants all of us to come to Him through repentance. It’s a simple thing. We believe that Jesus is the son of God and we should have a relationship with Him. It’s important to spend time with Him and get to know His Word. It’s all based on relationship.”

Matthew Botsford—who, today has a ministry called “Seeds of Love”—experienced Hell first-hand during a 27-day coma after his business partner was killed and he was shot in the head.

In an interview by Josephine Vivaldo for The Christian Post, Botsford explains that he was an atheist at the time of the shooting.

Of his experience in Hell, he says: “I immediately was in my full bodily form. I looked like myself but I didn’t have any clothes on and I was hung like crucifixion style in a very deep abyss. All I could see beneath me was very red, it was very hot. I was chained on both my wrists and I had shackles on my ankles. I knew I was in some sort of cavern. It was pitch black. I knew I was going to be there forever. I knew there was nothing I can do to get myself out of it. I didn’t know the name of Jesus so I never prayed, you know ‘Jesus, please save me.'”

“There was this continual mocking,” he added, “this sense of hopelessness, and evil in all sides. There was nothing good there. It was totally void. Even in life, if we are having a bad day we kind of know that something good is around the corner. There was nothing good around the corner.”

Ex-Muslims thank CTFM for sharing the love of Jesus / Healed from Cancer

Baby Shameer, Mother, Grandmother, and others at CTFM celebrate his 1st Birthday Dear family & friends in Christ,Baby Shameer with Pastor Daniel and wife Maryse

1) We thank God for His mighty hand and Holy Spirit at work amongst His people across Australia and the Nations of the World!

The weekend gone by was absolutely glorious at CTFM in Hallam, Melbourne. Many received a mighty touch from the Lord, as they waited at the altar soaking in the presence of God in worship. Amongst the people at the altar was a young mum and her mother, who were once Muslims, but are now worshippers of the Lord Jesus Christ.

This young mum was brought to our attention about 18 months ago, when she was only 13 years of age, 3 months pregnant and not sure what she was going to do, as she did not have a father and her family was in great trouble. We were also told that they were all Muslims.

So after we prayed with the leading of the Holy Spirit the family was approached by some of our counselling team from Options + Care (Pregnancy Counselling Division of CTFM). After a few visits the young mum decided to keep the baby and gave birth to a beautiful baby boy in May 2010. Pr Daniel & sister GerSister Geraldine, Baby Shameer, Mother, Grandmother and others at CTFMaldine from O+C visited them in the hospital and dedicated the baby to the Lord Jesus Christ.

Glory to God as now the whole family are born-again Christians!

We celebrated the baby’s 1st birthday this last Sunday at church.  The grandmother shared her amazing testimony and thanked Jesus for giving them a new family at CTFM.

Clashes leave 12 dead as Christians attacked in Egypt

Christians persecuted by Muslims in EgyptBarnabas Fund – 9th May 2011

Egyptian Christians came under attack at the weekend as Islamists set fire to two churches and Christian property, resulting in clashes that left 12 dead and more than 200 injured.

The unrest, which broke out in north-west Cairo on Saturday, has been described as one of the most serious outbreaks of sectarian violence since the revolution.

As several hundred Salafist Muslims descended on a church in Imbaba district, Christians barricaded themselves inside and around the building in a bid to protect it and, as demonstrations turned violent, Islamists stormed a six-storey residential building, claiming Christian snipers were positioned inside. Fire bombs were thrown at the church and at Christian homes and shops; the Muslim mob later attacked a second church, setting it ablaze.

The attackers chanted, “With our blood and soul, we defend you Islam” while Christians complained about the lack of security. One church leader said: They are people who are systematically attacking us and there are no police or military to protect us.

Dear Elijah List Readers:

In late March, 2011, a battle cry was released in the Middle East as the Palestinian Authority recreated a Third Intifada page, which had previously been banned by Facebook. This page was calling for the destruction of the State of Israel and encouraging the gathering of millions to invade Israel’s borders on May 15, 2011. Once the page was removed from Facebook, additional pages with the same call to action have been posted. Since their creation, these Facebook pages have gathered hundreds of thousands of “Likes,” with similar pages gathering over 3,000,000 votes of support.

E-News – A Warning of Intimidation – To Come?

Salt Shakers – 29th April 2011

The battle for Marriage continues here as it does elsewhere in the world – we knew it was going to be tough because too many have already compromised over the issue of homosexual relationships.

The illegitimacy of these unnatural relationships has been compromised by governments, Christians and Christians denominations across the world which have allowed the unnatural to be called natural despite all the evidence to the contrary.
 
In the last week, in the USA, the battle took another turn for the worst – President Obama has given so much ground that he will now NOT support an Act of Parliament which was passed by the overwhelming vote of both houses of Congress and was signed into law by President Bill Clinton in 1996 – DOMA – the Defence of Marriage Act.
 
The NEW Republican dominated House of Representatives in the USA hired a law firm to defend that Act in the Courts. Attached is a one page transcript of what have happened in the last few days – not from an ‘activist’ but from Albert Mohler, President of The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Reverend David Wilkerson’s Tragic Death

Reverend David WilkersonDear friends and family in Christ in Australia and around the World.

Following is the link to an article from Christian Broadcasting News (International Media Ministry of American Evangelist Pat Robertson) regarding the tragic death on Wednesday 27th April of our dear brother and Pastor David Wilkerson, the founder of Times Square Church in NY City and author of the well-known book ‘The Cross and the Switchblade”.

http://www.cbn.com/cbnnews/us/2011/April/Rev-David-Wilkerson-Killed-in-TX-Car-Crash/

Pr Daniel stated, “I was greatly saddened when I heard the news of brother David Wilkerson’s tragic death in a car accident. We all know that this man of God was a great hero and tremendous ambassador for our Lord Jesus Christ.

In today’s society, it’s very rare to find a Christian leader who has the guts to stand up for what he believes. Certainly, Pastor David Wilkerson was a man who always stood for the truth of the uncompromising Word of God, no matter the cost.

Victory for free speech

Judge orders Detroit transit to run AFDI/SIOA religious liberty bus ads

Detroit’s SMART transit system refused to run our AFDI/SIOA religious liberty bus ads, offering help for those in danger for leaving Islam; however, in an unusual victory for the freedom of speech, a judge has ordered the ads to run.

In “A Victory for Free Speech and Free People” in the American Thinker today, my colleague Pamela Geller gives the details:

In a notable victory for the freedom of speech, a U.S. District Court judge has ruled that Detroit’s SMART bus system must run my religious liberty bus ads offering help to people wishing to leave Islam safely, without having to live in fear.

CRIMINAL ON THE CROSS/HAPPY EASTER

Crosses at calvaryDear family & friends in Christ,

It is once again the time of the year when the shops are full of people buying their Easter Eggs etc, but in the busyness of life and all the shopping and the stories of Easter bunny and so on, sadly the real reason why we celebrate Easter gets buried.

The story below captures the moments heading up to this amazing event which took place some 2000 years ago, where my Jesus gave His life for you and me on the cross of Calvary and then rose victorious on the third day.  This is the real meaning of Easter, that our Saviour rose again victorious!  Hallelujah!

Sadly, most children and many adults do not know the real meaning of Easter. A few years ago a survey done showed that more than 80% of children in school thought Easter was all about the Easter Bunny and Eggs.

Iranian Video Says Mahdi is ‘Near’

The Basij. This Iranian paramilitary force is a branch of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. They enforce Iran\'s Islamic social codes, and have a branch in almost every Iranian mosque.Iran President Mahmoud AhmadinejadBy Dan Wooding – Founder of ASSIST Ministries

March 28, 2011

TEHRAN, IRAN (ANS) — Erick Stakelbeck, CBN News Terrorism Analyst is reporting that new evidence has emerged that the Iranian government sees the current unrest in the Middle East as a signal that the Mahdi–or Islamic messiah–is about to appear.

CBN News has obtained a never-before-seen video produced by the Iranian regime that says all the signs are moving into place — and that Iran will soon help usher in the end times.

While the revolutionary movements gripping the Middle East have created uncertainty throughout the region, the video shows that the Iranian regime believes the chaos is divine proof that their ultimate victory is at hand. (more…)

Souls saved, Demons flee as Holy Spirit fire falls on the weekend

Pr Chandi ministering to Aboriginal people in QldPr Daniel ministering in SunburyDear family & friends in Christ,
 
What an amazing weekend of Holy Spirit fire and mighty anointing!

We thank and praise our God for His mighty hand at work in our nation of Australia. We pray that the Holy Spirit will be given free reign in every single church so that we could see the book of Acts in action.
 
On the weekend just gone by, Pr Daniel ministered in Sunbury and Keilor Downs in Victoria to hundreds of hungry people who gathered to hear the Word of God.  All glory to God as they were mightily blessed by the great anointing of the presence of Jesus which fell at every service.
 
People flocked to the altar to receive from God and one woman who came forward fell under the anointing as Pr Daniel laid hands on her, and then started manifesting with evil spirits.  As many people watched and stretched their hands toward her and prayed, many demons left the woman and she was set free, hallelujah!

Mighty Miracle of God’s Amazing Protection during Car Accident

Supernatural ProtectionSupernatural ProtectionDear family & friends in Christ,

On Sunday 6th of March 2011 just before our Sunday morning service, we at CTFM were informed that 2 of our elders (husband & wife) were in a major car accident on the freeway in Melbourne and that they both came out of the accident with only minor injuries. We were thanking God for saving them both.

However, later that night when we watched News on TV and saw what had really happened at the accident scene and the total destruction of the car, we were just speechless.

It is an amazing miracle that the 2 of them are still alive and giving all the glory to God!

The police and the emergency workers had a double shock. First that the 2 of them were alive. One policeman asked them, “Where is the driver of the car?”  He could not believe that he was talking to the driver.  Secondly, the 2 of them started sharing Jesus to everyone, and how He had miraculously saved them. They even witnessed the love of Jesus and encouraged the driver who caused the accident!

Glorious 2nd Credentialing Service at CTFM in Melbourne, Australia

Some of the congregation worshipping at the altarPr Daniel and wife Maryse with some of the newly credentialed ministersDear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the World,

1) We thank and praise Jesus our Lord and Saviour for His awesome presence on Sunday the 10th of April at the CTFM 2nd Credentialing Service in Melbourne, Australia where 18 men & woman of God received their ordination into the 5-Fold Ministry in the Body of Christ for the advancement of the Kingdom of God.

This very special service started off with wonderful praise and worship led by the CTFM worship team. During the worship many came up to the altar and soaked in the presence of God. Some were kneeling, some were sitting on the floor, some were lying prostrate on the floor, some were waving banners and others with their hands lifted up were just simply worshipping Jesus. It was so great to see people expressing their hearts to Jesus in their own way!

Many at the altar also received prayer and were mightily touched by the Spirit of God as Pr Daniel laid hands on each person and prayed for them. The anointing of the Lord was so tangible that many were weeping in His presence. Oh, what a mighty God we serve!

Pr Daniel shared the prophetic Word of the Lord, speaking on “It is Time for Change” and challenged the people of God to get ready for change, to rise up for Jesus.

Republicans launch bill to jail Muslims who follow Sharia law

Proposal: Republican Senator Bill Ketron, 57, has put forward a bill to make following some forms of Sharia law a crime punishable by a 15-year jail sentenceBy Daily Mail Reporter - 2nd March 2011

A conservative group has put together the boldest legal attempt yet to limit how Muslims worship in America.

The Tennessee group, led by Republican Senator Bill Ketron, 57, has proposed a bill to make following some versions of Sharia law a crime punishable by 15 years in jail.

They are concerned extremist Muslims want Sharia to supersede the Constitution, but the bill would probably face steep constitutional hurdles if it is enacted.
