The Significance of the 31st day of October

Col Stringerby Col Stringer

G’day partners and friends!
 
Sunday the 31st of October heralds a historic day on the Christian calendar.  Here are several facts about that day.
 
* John Eckhardt brings out in his book ‘Moving in the Apostolic’ (page 76), Martin Luther received his divine revelation of ‘The just shall live by faith’ on October 31 1517. That revelation was the catalyst for the Protestant Reformation, the revival that swept Europe and changed the world.
 
* Sunday 31 October is also the day that the Welsh Revival commenced in 1904. Evan Roberts led a movement that saw hundreds of thousands of people come to Christ all over the world

But the importance of this date for Australia, is that it also marks the Anniversary – to the very day – our Light Horsemen forefather’s charged on Beersheba. This was the victory that laid the groundwork for the liberation of Jerusalem from 400 years of Muslim rule.  (The city had been captured by the Ottoman Turks in 1517).

National Day of Prayer for Life Sunday 31 October 2010

Dr Graham McLennan from the Canberra Declaration said, “We are calling the people of faith in Australia to set aside Sunday 31 October 2010 as a National Day of Prayer and Fasting for Life. A wave of anti-life sentiment seems to be sweeping Australia. Let us call to the author of life and ask him to intervene in our nation. You might be able to miss a meal, refuse dessert or fast for the day. Ask your friends to do the same. Ask your church to join with you”.
 
Dr Lachlan Dunjey from Medicine with Morality and one of the supporters of the Canberra Declaration said, “The battle for the intrinsic value of all human life intensifies across Australia with the push for euthanasia, unrestricted abortion, the elimination of all that is less than perfect, destructive embryo research and the overriding of conscience in medicine. It is more important than ever before for God’s people to declare that all humanity is created in the Image of God and support this Declaration. People in Victoria please watch www.repealsection8.net.au over the weeks prior to the state election Nov 27 2010 to see how you can vote to support right over wrong”.
 
In the 1890s when Australians were forming the Constitution and the Federal Parliament, it was the intention of the people that the nation could be called to days of prayer and fasting. This national day of prayer and fasting is a move to fulfill those wishes.

We thank God for the one big family He has blessed us with at Catch The Fire Ministries across Australia and many parts of the world!

It seems like this beautiful family is growing bigger day by day in an ever increasing and deepening bond of God’s great love!

We enjoy keeping you updated with all that the Spirit of God is doing through CTFM!

Although you may not be able to be physically present at our gatherings, you can feel a part of what the Lord is doing throughout our Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!

On this past Sunday, the CTFM Apostolic Centre in Melbourne (Hallam) was buzzing with great excitement as people from Darwin, Canberra, Bendigo and other places came expecting a miracle from the Lord and to soak in His mighty presence. Many were mightily touched by God, including one entire family (father, mother, son & daughter) who had never been to church before. For the first time in their lives, these true blue Aussies experienced the amazing love of God and the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit!

Deaf ears open, Gift of Tongues, and Salvations with Mighty Anointing of Holy Spirit in Sydney services

Pr Daniel with Indonesian Youth in SydneyWoman receives partial healing from deafnessDear family & friends in Christ in Australia and around the Nations of the World,

How can we adequately explain the awesome miracle working power of the Holy Spirit?

We are running out of words!

If the trickle of His Holy Spirit anointing is so great, just imagine what it will be like when His full manifest presence and glory comes down from heaven to earth!

We are surely heading into a great season of mighty revival fires in Australia and across the Nations of the World!

This past weekend gone by once again saw many people healed, delivered and set free through the anointing of the Holy Spirit as Pr Daniel ministered in Sydney at an Indonesian Church and an AOG church.

On Saturday night there were more than 150+ youth / young adults at the service as Pr Daniel challenged these young men and women of God to rise up and be a true soldier in the army of Jesus, willing to lay down their lives in order to win lost souls back to the Father in heaven.

The response was wonderful as almost all the youth / young adults came to the altar with tears, as many cried out to Jesus from the bottom of their hearts and made a commitment to go all the way to serve the Lord, even if it cost them their lives, just like nearly all the Apostles of the Lamb and martyrs for Christ throughout the history of the Gospel.

Should Christians participate in Halloween?

Children in Halloween costumes of vampires, soldier, and otherDear friends and family in Christ in Australia and around the World,

We’re forwarding the following email so that you can help your children and others who are ignorant of the dark side of Halloween. We as Christians should not celebrate Halloween and we must boldly speak out against it.

Satan is very subtly brainwashing the next generation to embrace what is evil.

We as the Church must stand up against it. If not, no one else will. 

Isaiah 60:1-2, “Arise, shine; for your light has come! And the glory of the LORD is risen upon you. For behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and deep darkness the people; but the LORD will arise over you, and His glory will be seen upon you.” (NKJ)

Should Christians participate in Halloween?

The October 31st holiday that we today know as Halloween has strong roots in paganism and is closely connected with worship of the Enemy of this world, Satan. It is a holiday that generally glorifies the dark things of this world, rather than the light of Jesus Christ, The Truth.

Have you noticed how costumes and masks are getting generally more bloody, gory, and depraved each year? Unfortunately, the gruesome and grotesque and the occult are increasingly glorified in American society, not only on Halloween, but throughout the year in horror movies and in television programs.

Woman healed from arthritis in Launceston, TasmaniaWoman taking first steps after prayer for healing from arthritisDear family & friends in Christ,

We at CTFM are so excited as we believe that now is the Holy Spirit’s kairos time for Australia’s revival, reformation, and transformation for the advancement of the Kingdom and Glory of God!

We have been receiving very encouraging reports from many RUA prayer locations across our nation that they are beginning to experience an increasing outpouring and movement of the miracle working power and presence of the Holy Spirit, resulting in many more people being saved, filled, healed, delivered, set free, restored, and set ablaze with the revival fire of Jesus!

Over the past weekend in Hallam (Melbourne), Launceston (Tasmania) and Canberra, hundreds of spiritually hungry Christians experienced such a glorious anointing of the Holy Spirit’s power and manifest presence, that many in the congregation were literally stuck to the floor for more than an hour as the revival services went on for more than 4 hours! The KEY for this was corporate worship in Spirit and Truth which went on for hours, bringing down the mighty presence of God!Worshipping the Lord in Launceston, Tasmania

In Hallam (Melbourne) Pastor Jason could not even start preaching the prophetic Word of God until late on Sunday night, as the worship went on for 3 hours, with many spiritually hungry Christians staying for the entire 5 hour service!

All Praise, Honour, and Glory to God as it was the same in Tasmania and Canberra!

Pr Daniel ministered at very special Healing Weekend at Zion’s Hill Church in Launceston, Tasmania on Sat night and Sun AM & PM. Many were mightily touched by the Spirit of God and greatly challenged to rise up and stand for their nation of Australia for Jesus! The place was buzzing with great excitement and much joy as many stated, “This is revival!”

Ps Daniel giving Jesus all the glory for Dianna\'s resurrection from the dead, with Dr Murray and Ps Daniel\'s wife Maryse presentDear family & friends in Christ in Australia and across the Nations of the World,

This past weekend has been full of supernatural Holy Spirit action for the advancement of the Kingdom, Power and Glory of God!

First starting with the RUA (Rise Up Australia) prayer meeting on Friday night, followed by an all night prayer meeting until 6am! Intercessory prayer warriors from some 20 churches and many different denominations united as a prophetic representation of the Body of Christ in Melbourne, Australia as CBN (Christian Broadcasting Network) filmed the corporate prayer gathering for Australia’s revival, reformation, and transformation!

Pr Daniel stated, “We thank God forOther part of the crowd praying for Israel the RUA interdenominational prayer meetings across Australia over tPart of the CTFM crowd praying for Israelhe past 10 years that have challenged thousands of Christians in the Body of Christ to develop a lifestyle and culture of prayer. United intercessory prayer is the key to revival, reformation, and transformation of Australia and the nations.”

Then on Saturday afternoon there was a reunion of around 20 people from CTFM who went to Israel earlier this year, including Diana from NSW, the lady who was raised from the dead on the tour bus and Dr Murray from WA. This time of fellowship and lunch was just wonderful. The CBN crew was able to speak one on one with those who saw the miracle of Diana being raised from the dead.

On Sunday morning Pr Daniel spoke on ‘The Barren Land will bring forth a Harvest’ as many were set on fire for Jesus. So many people who were at the meeting were greatly blessed with CBN once again recording the whole service.

Sunday night was the highlight of the weekend as around 300 people packed the CTFM base in Melbourne (Hallam) as the Spirit of God moved most powerfully. First people just absolutely soaked in worship and then they were so blessed to hear 10 very powerful miracle healing testimonies of Cancer, Deafness, Blindness, Depression, and a Resurrection from the dead!

Dear Pastor Danny,

Thank you for coming to Kingaroy and teaching us so much. Since you Prayed over me, Not only has my pain eased, my depression and Anxiety is totally gone! something i struggled with for years. Everyone close to me cannot believe the change in me and I laugh so much now and I truly believed I had forgotten how to laugh before Jesus touched me through you. Praise God!!! I was full of Demons and didn’t even realise, i thought my life was over and God had no plan for me as I’d let him down too often. I didn’t understand the Love of Jesus until He explained it to me through you Pastor Danny! I speak in tongues now, a lot, EVEN my Parrot is learning it ha-ha. The Bible didn’t make a lot of sense to me until now and I am getting powerful messages from it now! PEOPLE!!! I’D LIKE TO SHOUT OUT, FORGET ALL THE SECULAR SELF HELP BOOKS, THE BIBLE IS THE ONE AND ONLY BEST SELF HELP BOOK THERE IS! MY SECULAR SELF HELP BOOKS ONLY MADE ME SELFISH AND FEEL SORRY FOR MYSELF AND FEEL INADEQUATE!!!! My Goal now is to become “A Wife of Noble Character” Proverbs 31:10-31 and to spread the word to others so they too can feel what I’m feeling and they too CAN BE SAVED!!!

Thank You and May God continue to Bless you Forever and Always, Annastasia, Kingaroy, QLD

2 very humbling and encouraging emails received at CTFM

Dear family and friends in Christ,

We received these 2 following emails in the past few days and thought they will encourage you as they have us very much.

Praise the Lord for these 2 Christian ministers who were humble enough and obedient to do what the Spirit of God told them to do.

1) Dear Pastor Danny,

Please bear with this humbled and repentant servant of God as you read the following.

James wrote: “…the prayer of the faith  will save the sick and the Lord will raise him up. And if has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess you faults to one another, that you may healed. The effective fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much”

Ps. Danny, you may recall that about 3 years ago I invited you to preach at our Sunday morning  service. You may also recall that I expressed a different understanding to you regarding born-again Spirit-filled Christians being delivered from demons. Well, I still really do not have a clearer understanding of this subject, but I am nonetheless open to receive enlightenment from the Lord on this.

However, more importantly right now, is what the Lord  revealed to me tonight about what was in my heart when my wife and I attended a combined churches minister prayer gathering. 
 
Well, about an hour into the prayer meeting I felt the Lord convict of judgement that I had been carrying in my heart toward another particular Pastor and their church (I won’t got into any more detail on this) and also toward you, from the time you visited our church. Choosing to obey the Lord rather than resist Him, I confessed before my peers repented of the judgement in my heart toward other particular Pastors and declared that I also need to contact you to do the same.

Ps. Danny, I’m ashamed to admit this, but the Lord has instructed me to humble myself and confess my sin of judgement toward you and seek your forgiveness, which I humbly do now.
