Should we pray for Julia Gillard’s salvation?? By Pr Daniel

Parliament House Canberra, AustraliaDear family & friends in Christ,

The last few months have been very exciting and challenging with people from all walks of life entering the debate about the upcoming Federal Election this Saturday 21st August.

I first want to thank you all for your overwhelming support through the many responses we have received. I would love to respond to every email, but unfortunately it is not practically possible, as I too have a family. My motto is Jesus first, family second and ministry third.

A few people have asked me, “Pastor, should we not pray for Julia Gillard’s salvation? Maybe once she wins the election she might become a Christian. Don’t we as Christians have to love her? Nothing is impossible with God.” And the list goes on and on.

Let me say this, we have to definitely pray for Julia Gillard’s salvation, we even pray for Bob Brown’s salvation.

When the election was announced, during that first week, we had one of our RUA prayer meeting in the western suburbs of Melbourne in Ms Gillard’s electorate. Around 20 of us went down to her office, placed oil on the doors and windows, and prayed for an hour around the place. (more…)

Pastor Daniel with girl who was the first baby saved through Options Plus Care 10 years agoPraying for people gathered from 10 different churches on the Gold CoastDear family & friends in Christ,

It is with great joy we announce that this Sunday the 22nd of August at the 6.30pm service the first batch of Ministers of the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ will be credentialed into the five-fold ministry (Ephesians 4:11-13). These men and woman of God will travel from SA, NSW, QLD & across VIC to receive their credentials and to join in this very special night of giving praise, worship, and honour to the King of Kings and LORD of lords!

We would love to see you at this very special service to join together with us in praying and commissioning these mighty warriors in God’s army into the Lord’s end-time harvest to transform our nation of Australia and the nations for Jesus. You are most welcome to bring friends and family along with you.

We are expecting a full house, so come early and get your seats as Pastor Daniel will be ministering at both services at 9.30am & 6.30pm this Sunday the 22nd of August.  He stated, “I am so excited that finally the day has come that we could credential ministers into the five-fold ministry to equip the Body of Christ for the work of the ministry.  (Ephesians 4:11-13) This is how the Church is supposed to be, where the Apostles, Prophets, Evangelist, Teachers & Pastors all work together hand in hand to train the saints in the Body of Christ to extend the Kingdom of God.”

The leadership board of Catch The Fire Ministries had to unfortunately turn down many applications, as they did not meet the needed criteria, but we pray as time goes by that many more warriors in the army of God will see the importance of a totally surrendered life in order to fulfil the great commission of our great KING Jesus! (Matthew 28:18-20)

National Prayer Assault Great Success on Mt Ainslie and Other High Places

Prayer Warriors Interceeding For Australian GovernmentPs Daniel leading National Prayer Assault on Mt Ainslie in Canberra, AustraliaDear family & friends in Christ,

It is with great joy and excitement we bring you this wonderful report regarding the National Prayer Assault on Mount Ainslie in Canberra and 20 plus mountains across Australia!

We believe that Saturday the 14th of August 2010 was a day of history making in the Spirit for our nation as thousands of Christians around Australia stormed heaven in intercessory prayer for the upcoming Federal Election, repenting of sin on behalf of the Church and the nation, asking God to heal our land.

There were Christians gathered on many mountains, churches, homes and parks all across our Great South Land of the Holy Spirit to unite as one in the Lord Jesus Christ to pray for His righteousness to exalt our nation!

Following are some of the places we have a record of where people prayed: Central Coast Gosford, Penshurst, Sugarloaf Mountain in Newcastle, Brown Mountain in Bega Valley, Kellyville, Ryde (between Sydney City and the Blue Mountains), Brown Mountain in Bega Valley (NSW), Kyabram, Boort, Burwood, Hallam, Mildura, Mount William in the Grampians (VIC) Toowoomba (QLD), Darwin, Middleton, Kangaroo Island (SA), Victoria/Daly District, Darwin (NT), Kalgoorlie, (WA), Hobart (TAS), Mt Ainslie (ACT), overseas in Singapore and other nations. Every state and territory was covered in prayer.

Hundreds of Christians from 20 cities and towns across Australia gathered on top of Mount Ainslie in Canberra to pray from 10am – 12pm on Saturday 14th August. They came from Perth, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, Canberra, Newcastle, Young, Merimbula, Bega, Cootamundra, Culcairn, Gosford, Griffith and many other places across Australia. There were Christians from 35 different churches, which included Catholic Baptist, Presbyterian, Lutheran, Anglican, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Charismatic, and others.  It was also very encouraging to see that these prayer warriors represented 40 different nationalities, all who are now Australians and call Australia home.

When will the Church stop being politically correct? By Pr Daniel

Pastor Daniel NalliahDear family & friends in Christ,

Let me start by saying that our battle is not against flesh & blood, but against principalities and powers of darkness in high places (Eph. 6:11-12).

We as pastors and Christian leaders are accountable to God to lead the flock He has entrusted into our hands in the right path. We must stop being politically correct, and return to being biblically correct.  We desperately need your faithful intercessory prayer support (1 Timothy 2:1-7).

In the last few days I have received several phone calls and emails from Christians (including pastors and other Christian leaders) around the country asking me as to why Australian Christian Lobby appears to be promoting self-confessing atheist Julia Gillard for PM in this election and why the Senior Pastor of City Life Church recently stated in the Age newspaper on 6th August that he was not overly concerned by PM Julia Gillard’s atheism, ”Primarily you are looking at them to have what it takes to run the nation.”

http://www.theage.com.au/federal-election/gillard-bid-to-win-back-christians-20100805-11krh.html

I personally called the Senior Pastor to speak to him, but he was out of the country, so I spoke to his personal assistant who was very kind and cooperative in assuring me that she will talk to him and get back to me. As promised she did call me and confirmed that the Pastor had spoken to the Age newspaper journalist and that his response was on his blog.

I read through his blog, but could not find a clear answer to the question as to whether or not it concerned him that the PM was an atheist, so I also contacted the Age journalist who told me that his question to the Pastor about his concern over the PM’s atheism was very straight forward. For which the Pastor responded by saying, ”Primarily you are looking at them to have what it takes to run the nation.” 

We also recently read in the news media and on the ACL website that ACL (Australian Christian Lobby) was successful in getting PM Julia Gillard to speak to the Christian voters through the ACL website, where she made several promises in order to win back the Christian vote.

http://www.theage.com.au/federal-election/gillard-pitches-to-christian-voters-20100807-11pih.html

The question we all need to ask is, “Was PM Gillard genuine or was she simply making promises that she will never deliver. I was surprised when I heard that ACL was giving such a forum to Julia Gillard, knowing very well that she is an atheist. Many asked me “Why is ACL doing this again as they did the same with Rudd?” I honestly cannot understand how a Christian leader could give an atheist such a platform to mislead the Christian voters.

Should Christians be involved in Politics? by Col Stringer

Col StringerI love this country; to me it is the greatest land in the world. As I was walking into church the other day, I thought to myself that no one had to go through a bomb check or a metal detector when we arrived. No one had come with thoughts of being blown up, or shot etc. Yet for how many nations in the world, would it be a vastly different story? Australia is one of a few successful Christian democracies in the world. Even the USA fought a war f their freedom from England a: then a civil war. The UK fought bloody civil war and more recently they have faced IRA bombs, and race riots. France has been a divided nation for 150 years. Russia, Greece, Italy a Spain are just a few that experienced revolution and civil war. Historian Paul Johnson wrote: “ The development of Australia rates as one of mankind’s greatest achievements……….one of the most advanced. and prosperous societies on earth has been created. It is an achievement with few parallels in history.”

I am not just a minister, but I am also a fifth generation Aussie; I have dual citizenship. I am a citizen of heaven, as well as Australia. I have a stewardship of what He has given me here in this great land. Yet so few Christians will stand up and fight, for that God given freedom. Section 116 of the Constitution of Australia clearly states: “The Commonwealth shall not make any law establishing any religion or imposing religious observance or for prohibiting the free exercise of religion…..” (more…)

10th Anniversary RUA / Ps Terry Walker at CTFM

CTFM board and leaders washing feet of Ps Daniel and his wife MaryseCTFM Board and Leaders cut cake at RUA 10th Anniversary Dear family & friends in Christ,
 
1) In the midst of the whole federal election and all the other critical issues surrounding us in Australia, we thank the Lord that He is increasingly moving by His Holy Spirit and power across our nation!  This is only because Christians, the people of God, are beginning to see the importance of prayer and the amazing effects it has on everyone around you!
 
Last Friday night 6th August marked the 10th Anniversary of RUA (Rise Up Australia) prayer meetings across the nation of Australia and now also in many other nations. This was a glorious day for the RUA family as many of the CTFM Generals have faithfully prayed, supported and stood with Ps Daniel and his family in this God-given mission to take Australia and the Nations for Jesus.
 
There was a real spirit of celebration and rejoicing in the house of the Lord as many gathered on this night to seek the Lord in prayer particularly pertaining to the upcoming federal election. The Spirit of God moved most powerfully as many travailed and wept for Australia’s transformation in prayer to the Lord Almighty.

School chaplains only certain with Abbott as PM

Senator Ron BoswellMedia Release from Senator Ron Boswell, The National Senator for Queensland

2 August 2010

“The only way to be sure of keeping your school chaplain is to elect a Coalition government,” said The Nationals’ Senator Ron Boswell today.  “Tony Abbott is committed to keeping the program going at present funding levels of $165m over three years.”

“Labor on the other hand has reduced funding which is designed to finish in 2011. There are no promises beyond a departmental review.”

“Chaplains play a valuable role in schools, supporting students and school communities by offering pastoral care and guidance.”

“The National School Chaplaincy Program was introduced by the former Coalition Government and enabled schools to employ a part-time school chaplain, with the purpose of providing pastoral care and non-denominational spiritual guidance in schools.”

Senator Boswell said that the program operates in 1,915 schools where the local community has sought to be involved with the program, and enjoys strong support among principals, schools and in the community generally.

Pastor who survived the Genocide in Rwanda at CTFM this Sun / 6PR Radio interview in Perth / Congratulations to Pastors & Leaders

Dear family & friends in Christ,

It is with great joy we bring to your attention that Pastor David, originally from Rwanda now living in Canada, will be speaking at the CTFM base in Melbourne (Hallam) this Sunday the 8th of August at 6.30pm. This man of God has an amazing testimony of how the Lord miraculously saved him in 1994 when the Hutus massacred the Tutsis in Rwanda, with around 2 million people losing their lives.

Pastor David was formerly a Muslim, but gave his life to Jesus when the Lord miraculously healed him from an incurable disease on his deathbed in the hospital. Then his family wanted to kill him. One of his family members loaded the gun to shoot him, but Jesus appeared and said, “Do not touch My child.” This led to the salvation of the whole Muslim family, Islam to Jesus!

Sadly, a few years later when the massacre took place in Rwanda, Pastor David lost 66 members of his own family, which included his mother, father and all his brothers. Today he says, “Thank God my family accepted Jesus. I know now that I will see them again.”

I am sure you would be greatly blessed by his powerful and very challenging testimony. Do not miss this Sunday night the 8th August at 6.30pm.

Revival fire falls in Rockingham WA as people are radically transformed

Ministering in Rockingham, WA, PerthMinistering in Rockingham, WA, PerthDear family & friends in Christ,

At CTFM the last 2 years have seen the beginning of our dreams come alive in Australia after much prayer and fasting!

For the past 10 years we have been crying out to the Lord in intercessory prayer for His supernatural anointing to be poured out all across this Great South Land to see Australia come back to Jesus through a Holy Ghost Revival of God’s Mighty Miracles, Signs & Wonders!

Well once again the Spirit of God moved most mightily in Rockingham WA (one hour from Perth) in a small church where Pastor Daniel ministered over the past weekend. Every meeting with 70-80 people went on for more than 3 hours with people absolutely soaking in the presence of God, as the Holy Ghost fire and mighty hand of the Lord radically transformed people’s lives!

Some people travelled a long way to get to the revival meetings and were so blessed as the Holy Spirit ministered to every single person through Pas Daniel with words of knowledge, prophecy, healing, and miracles! Many who received the prophetic words were shouting for joy, as they saw the love of God for each person present at the meetings!

One lady testified, “My husband kicked me out of the house and threw the keys in the garden. So I picked the keys up and went off to work. I got back home on Friday night and went to bed. My husband came home late that night. I was not sure what he would do, but praise God he had come to church and got touched by the power of God. Thank you Pastor Daniel my husband is a changed man now and our marriage is restored.” (more…)

A Very Special Invitation To The 10th Anniversary Of RUA Prayer Meetings / Praying For Federal Election 2010

United In Prayer At RUA Meeting

Dear family & friends in Christ,

On this Friday the 6th of August we will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Rise Up Australia national prayer movement which has been rapidly spreading across the land of Australia bringing hundreds of praying Christians from many churches and denominations to their knees to cry unto the Lord for our nation’s transformation!

With more than 60 locations having RUA prayer meetings each month, this interdenominational prayer movement under the leadership of Pr Daniel through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, has brought back a culture of fervent prayer to the church, which was desperately lacking.

Pr Daniel stated, “In the year 2000 while I was ministering in Ethiopia, the Lord gave me a strategy to transform Australia through United Prayer, Fasting and Repentance by 2020. I praise God we have now reached the halfway mark and 10 years of corporate prayer has certainly shifted the spiritual climate over Australia. I believe the next 10 years will bring a great harvest into the Kingdom of God.”Australia For Jesus!

I thank God for the many prayer movements in our nation that the Lord is moving through. RUA is a ministry wing of CTFM and has taken a stand to lead the way in corporate repentance for the Body of Christ, to pray in Spirit and in Truth, to breakdown demonic strongholds, and to destroy the works of the enemy, in order for our nation to experience a radical reformation through the manifest glory of God’s presence. I want to see my generation rise up and fulfil God’s prophetic plans for Australia and the nations in preparing the multitudes to meet the Bride Groom King, Jesus our Lord and Saviour, who I believe is coming back very, very soon!”

There will be a very special focus on the Federal Election, as we expect some Christian Candidates standing for election to be present at the meeting.  They will be given the opportunity to share for a few minutes and then we will pray for them and the election.

Moves to Ban Brothels in Australia’s Bible Belt

Gordan Moyesby Teresa Neumann : Jun 30, 2010 : Phil Mercer – BBC

“We have to have a reformation of morality and ethics and unfortunately by legalizing prostitution, it is only another nail in the coffin of decency.”

(Australia)—Although prostitution is by-and-large legal in most of Australia, the BBC reports that efforts are now underway to ban brothels in one of Australia’s fastest-growing regions.

Peter Dimbrowsky, mayor of the Hills Shire Council in Sydney, was quoted as saying there is no place for the sex industry in the “Bible Belt” district, home to one of the largest churches in the country.

“While we’ve deliberately made it difficult for them to be successful in this area, we’ve also said that we deserve the right to say no to them if we feel that a sufficient number of people are sufficiently against this type of application,” he said. “You should be able to argue that in this part of Sydney or in any part of a city where it is family-orientated, it may be better for them not to be there at all.”
