Rise Up Australia Party (Keep Australia Australian) – Already Winning Souls to the Lord!

Dear family & friends in Christ,

The Rise Up Australia prayer movement started in the year 2000 (under the covering of Catch The Fire Ministries) and will continue until the Lord Jesus comes back!

This prayer movement is now operating in around 75-100 bases, with prayer groups meeting every month in churches, community centres, schools, homes, parks, etc., across our nation with thousands of intercessory prayer warriors uniting together as the body of Christ to pray for Australia’s transformation.

Glory to God that this prayer movement, along with many other prayer movements, has further developed an increasingly 24/7 prayer culture in the Body of Christ in Australia.

We thank the Lord, that after a 10 year prayer foundation, He birthed in our hearts to start the Rise Up Australia Political Party in 2010, which is a vehicle through which we could see our nation Australia come back to Jesus, through a national reformation across our Great Southern Land of the Holy Spirit!

Of course the RUA prayer movement will continue to undergird the RUA political party with the wisdom, power and guidance of the Holy Spirit!

When CTFM Board members started prayerfully seeking the Lord’s direction in regard to the political party, one of my Board members who is a practicing medical doctor and a member of the Presbyterian church, received the following prophetic word from the Lord.

Please receive this word with love.

“My Church is in such an apostate state that I cannot reach the nation of Australia through My church right now, so I will cause Rise Up Australia Party to be a vehicle to challenge My Church and the nation of Australia. This will awaken and encourage My Church to rise up, take the nation, and prepare as My Bride for My return.”

What Kind of People We Ought to Be?

Franklin GrahamFriday, 15 July 2011 – Franklin Graham News – Featured News

There has been a lot of speculation about the end times lately, especially in light of recent storms. I saw first hand the devastation and carnage that accompanied the fierce, deadly tornadoes that swept across the South and the Midwest this spring.

I’ve seen lots of disasters in my lifetime, but the scenes that I witnessed in Alabama and Missouri were among the most horrific I’ve encountered anywhere.

Many are asking if the seemingly growing numbers of such catastrophes could be an indication that the return of Christ is drawing nearer. Jesus said that such tragedies—in addition to wars and persecution—are indeed the “beginning of birth pains” (Matthew 24:8), and these certainly appear to be increasing in frequency and intensity.

Just a few months ago, the owner of a Christian radio network forecast that May 21 would be “Judgment Day” for the world. I was amazed at the extensive national coverage given to this prediction, even though the Bible says that only the Father in Heaven knows the exact date of the Savior’s return. It was hard to view a news program or read a newspaper without a prominent reference to this event.

While I’m grateful that there has been some renewed discussion given to the return of the King, I’m afraid that such a superficial focus can divert our attention from the primary thrust of Scripture regarding His coming—are we living holy, godly lives on earth, diligently waiting and working until He comes?

‘Rise Up Australia’ Vision the Lord gave to transform Australia by 2020

Pr Daniel at the first announcement of the Rise Up Australia Political PartyDear family & friends in Christ across our nation of Australia,

Many people who have listened to me speak and share the vision the Lord gave me to transform Australia by 2020, have asked me to put it in writing to share with others.

Please take some time to read through all of it and forward to your family members and friends. I pray that you will be blessed.

In my book ‘Worship Under The Sword’ I shared my testimony of how God miraculously saved me from execution at least twice, once in Sri Lanka and then in Saudi Arabia (when we worked with the underground Church). I also share how I have been pelted with stones on several occasions, received other forms of physical abuse and have even received many death threats.

Spiritually and prophetically speaking, at times I feel that we killed the bear in Sri Lanka, the lion in Saudi Arabia and now we are ready to defeat Goliath in Australia. I am sure once David in the Word of God killed the bear and the lion, he was definitely not looking for a puppy dog or a kitty cat.

On 21st July 1997 at 3.40am in Saudi Arabia (40 min from Mecca) when I had a one on one supernatural encounter with the resurrected Jesus, He told me to go to Australia for He was about to do a mighty work in Australia.  In my book, you can read the whole life transforming encounter which lasted for 2 hours and 40 min. He also told me my short time mission would be to work for the persecuted Church and that He would give me favour with government leaders. In obedience, my family and I packed our bags and made our journey to this Great South Land Down Under.

Current Events In Light of Bible Prophecy

By Joel Rosenberg – posted on May 11, 2011

Ezekiel chapters 38 & 39, what Bible scholars describe as the coming “War of Gog & Magog”

Over the next few days, I’ll share with you some of my notes. Today, let’s start by defining who “Gog” and “Magog” are, when this prophecy will take place, and what countries will be participating in the coalition against Israel:

1. The Hebrew Prophet Ezekiel lived in Babylon (Iraq) more than 2,500 years ago and the Lord gave him a vision of events that would take place in the future.

2. Ezekiel 38:16 specifically tells us these events will take place in the “last days” — that is in the End Times before the Messiah comes to set up His kingdom on earth.

3. Ezekiel chapters 36 and 37 set the stage for the “War of Gog and Magog” by describing that Israel will be reborn as a country in the last days, the Jewish people will come back to the Holy Land from exile all over the world, the Jewish people will rebuild the ancient ruins and make the deserts bloom again. These things have all happened, and this suggests we are getting closer to the fulfillment of the next set of prophecies.

Among Israeli Jews, 20,000 embrace Christ

31st May 2011 – http://www.bpnews.net/

White and blue flags rustled in the breeze, and kebabs sizzled on the grill. Ben Martin gathered the group around and offered a prayer of thanks for the food.

“Thank You for this food. Thank You for this nation. And thank You that after 2,000 years, You haven’t forsaken Israel.”

He hasn’t forsaken it — in fact, Jesus Christ is at work among the Jews more than ever, Martin said.

The crowd at this Israeli Independence Day party was more diverse than one might expect for a get-together celebrating the founding of the Jewish homeland in 1948.

There were Iranian Jews. Iraqi Jews. Russian Jews. American Jews.

Witnessing History in the Making – 500 people respond to an altar call at an outreach conference in Tel Aviv, Israel

Israeli FlagVoice of Judah Ministries – Pastor Israel – 11th May 2011

Shalom Greetings!  
   
Last week we organized an outreach conference with an international evangelist and a friend of Israel, David Hathaway, who has ministered worldwide for over 60 years. This year he celebrated his 50 anniversary since his first ever visit to Israel in 1961. It was a very joyous celebration with the theme: Israel – yesterday, today and forever. He has a big heart and a big passion for Israel and the people of Israel and it was reflected in his message.
 
Over 700 people attended the 2-day conference. Most of them NON-believers and many of the guests at the conference were an older generation, holocaust survivors and many other Israelis. For most of them it was the first time they had ever heard the gospel of a Jewish Messiah preached to them. Their response was overwhelming!
 
On the first night more than 300 people responded to the altar call, came forward to receive Yeshua as their Messiah! The second night 200 people also gave their lives to Yeshua. It has exceeded all our expectations! We have never seen such a large number of people in Israel responding to the message of Yeshua.  
 
We saw what a difference our social work makes. The love, patience and help to people does wonders. We thank God that Voice of Judah is a ministry that continuously bears such fruit.

PM Netanyahu Addresses Congress—It Was Amazing

Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu25-05-2011 – Dr. Michael Evans – Jerusalem Prayer Team

The highlight of my trip to Washington to defend Israel as your Ambassador was this morning as I watched my friend of thirty years, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, address a special joint session of Congress. It was a powerful and amazing speech, and it effectively laid out the case for America to stand with Israel in opposition to the UN plan to unilaterally declare a Palestinian state. I urge you to take the time to watch the full speech linking below. Near the beginning of his remarks, the Prime Minister said:

Israel has no better friend than America. And America has no better friend than Israel. We stand together to defend democracy. We stand together to advance peace. We stand together to fight terrorism. Congratulations America, Congratulations, Mr. President. You got bin Laden. Good riddance!

In an unstable Middle East, Israel is the one anchor of stability. In a region of shifting alliances, Israel is America’s unwavering ally. Israel has always been pro-American. Israel will always be pro-American.

READ NETANYAHU’S ENTIRE SPEECH TO THE US CONGRESS

WATCH PM NETANYAHU’S ADDRESS TO THE US CONGRESS

We must stand with Israel. It is the right thing to do politically, militarily, economically and most importantly—prophetically. We cannot allow the leaders of America to direct our course so that we turn our backs on the Chosen People now.

Call for Millions of Muslims to invade Jerusalem, Israel on 15th May 2011

Pray for the Peace of JerusalemDear friends and family in Christ in Australia and around the World,
 
We’re forwarding the following email we received from Curt Landry of One New Man United
with a 2 minute Youtube video link regarding a Call for Millions of Muslims to invade Jerusalem, Israel on 15th May 2011. 
 
Please pray as never before for Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), because if this truly happens, we will see a major war breakout in Israel very soon. 
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrlJSxCYqXA

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.

Please join together with us to wish  Pr Daniel & his wife Maryse a very happy anniversary and God’s richest blessings, as they celebrate their 24th wedding anniversary today the 28th of march.

A Perspective on the Japan Earthquake

Cindy JacobsCindy Jacobs Newsletters – Prophetic Insight – Tuesday, 22 March 2011

 As one looks across the face of the earth today, it doesn’t take a large amount of spiritual discernment to see that things are shaking as has been prophesied over the past few years. Many voices, including mine, have spoken over what is known as the Rim of Fire nations, or the Pacific Rim. These are approximately 40 nations that ring the Pacific with some sort of volcanic activity. 

The tragedy in Japan brings this prophetic shaking starkly to the forefront of the news. Many are asking the question, “What is taking place?”

First of all, I know that we must stand in the gap and pray for Japan. The enormity of the loss and the intensity of what has transpired will continue to unfold, and it is hard to grasp with the natural mind. 
What do we know? God had warned us that shaking was coming. This doesn’t mean it was His desire for it to happen but that it was more of the biblical fulfillment that He doesn’t do anything without first warning through His servants the prophets (see Amos 3:7) In fact, I along with others prophesied volcanic eruptions would occur in the Pacific Rim.

Poll: What Evangelical Leaders Believe about the End Times

By Audrey Barrick | Christian Post Reporter

Wed, Mar. 09 2011

A majority of evangelical leaders believe that Jesus Christ will return to earth and then reign with his followers for 1,000 years, a new survey shows. This end times theology is called premillennialism and 65 percent of surveyed evangelical leaders identify with it.

As part of its monthly poll, the National Association of Evangelicals surveyed its board of directors, which include the CEOs of denominations and representatives of a broad array of evangelical organizations, on their eschatological beliefs.

“It’s in our human nature to want to prepare ourselves – physically, emotionally, spiritually – for what might be ahead,” said NAE President Leith Anderson.

The poll, released this week, found that 13 percent of those surveyed are amillennialists – believing that the non-literal millennial reign of Christ is happening now as Christ reigns at the right hand of the Father.

Seven Reasons Why I Pray and Take a Stand with Israel

James W. GollA VIEW FROM MY CHAIR With James W. Goll

The following is an excerpt from the first chapter of my book Praying for Israel’s Destiny. The book is solid and relevant for these days. Having been an Israel Intercessor for many years, these truths roll out of my heart with ease. May you be enlightened and encouraged to take a stand in these perilous times.

1. Israel is Still the Apple of God’s Eye, and His Inheritance.

Pray and take a stand for Israel because Israel is still very close to God’s heart. I have already shared Zechariah 2:8, which says, “He who touches you , touches the apple of His eye.” Centuries before Zechariah prophesied these words, Moses wrote a song containing a very similar picture:

For the Lord’s portion is His people; Jacob is the allotment of His inheritance. . . . He encircled him, He cared for him and He guarded him as the pupil of His eye. . . . He spread His wings and caught them. He carried them on His pinions. Deuteronomy 32:9–11

Psalm 148:14 declares, “And He has lifted up a horn for His people, praise for all His godly ones; even for the sons of Israel, a people near to Him.” Did you hear that? “A people near to Him.” I love that!

The first reason I pray for Israel is not profound. I pray for Israel because I want to be close to God’s heart and I want to be in alignment with God’s sight. If God says that Israel is the apple or pupil of His eye, then I want to pray with insight–with His sight. Do you want to be close to the heart of God? Then be close to the things, people and purposes that are close to His heart. Fulfill your appointment. Take a stand and be a watchman for Israel!
