Ps Daniel’s Vision of Julia Gillard stabbing Kevin Rudd in the back – By Jill Curry

Kevin Rudd and Julia GillardDear friends and family in Christ,

 

Shortly after Kevin Rudd was elected as PM in late 2007 or early 2008, at a Wednesday CTFM Prayer Meeting in Melbourne during our worship time, Ps Daniel suddenly gasped and later shared a vision of Julia Gillard stabbing Kevin Rudd in the back.  He interpreted this as Ms Gillard making a challenge for the leadership at some stage and deposing Kevin Rudd.

 

Just before leaving for Israel in May 2010, at an office daily prayer time, Ps Daniel was musing about the possibility of Ms Gillard making a challenge and the speculations that were in the press.  I reminded him of the vision he had some years before, which jogged his memory.  On his return this week, the fatal blow had been made in Canberra and we now have a new Prime Minister.  At our prayer meeting on Wednesday, many others present also remembered the vision he had some 2 years ago.

 

On ABC radio 774 on 29/6/10 John Faine interviewed PM Julia Gillard.  Normally not one to support Christian causes, he asked her directly, “Do you believe in God?”, to which she replied that she did not. 

 

She had grown up in the Baptist Church and attended youth group, but as an adult had made other choices.  He then mentioned that both Kevin Rudd and John Howard had made a point of being seen attending church and courting the Christian vote.

Power of God falls in Sri Lanka & Malaysia – Salvations, Healings, Miracles

more than 900 people pack the altar as Ps Daniel ministers at SIB church in KL MalaysiaThank you for loving and helping us AustraliaDear family & friends in Christ,
 
I am so glad to be back home in Australia after a month overseas.  I arrived back with my wife and daughter late Tuesday night.  Our time away from Australia has been amazing.  As you would have read from my last few emails God moved most powerfully in Israel.
 
We spent 3 weeks in Sri Lanka & Malaysia on our return from Israel.  In Sri Lanka we caught up with our family and friends. I also had the great opportunity of visiting the 3 Children’s homes (where we feed, clothe & educate around 80 children) and the feeding program (where we feed 150 children lunch every day).  I was so happy to meet with them, and they were also very excited to see me. They all looked so great, happy and well taken care of.
 
I interviewed many of the kids one on one. The feedback from the kids were full of positive remarks and I am so pleased with the pastors who are taking care of these children. They refuse to call them orphPs Daniel with Dilma tea company owner\'s son at tower they erected to honour Jesusans, they always call them “our children”.
 Ps Daniel, wife Maryse, and daughter Brianna in SL
I am so grateful to all of you who assist in keeping these projects running in Sri Lanka through your generous support.  If not for your help, we would not be able to finance them.  Catch The Fire Ministries releases 100% of all finances which come in for ‘Rescue Sri Lanka’ to Sri Lanka.
Some very exciting news, as a result of the feeding projects in 4 towns, now the Pastor I am working with has started 3 new churches and has seen 45 families born again. Thank you so much for financing these projects, as you have played a key role in winning these families to Jesus. Your continued support will be greatly appreciated.

I was in tears when I left each location as the kids came around me and said, “Please don’t go so soon, we love you so much, thank you for caring for us. When are you coming back?”  (more…)

Julia Gillard and ‘religious faith’ – Please vote in polls

Australian Prime Minister Julia GillardDear friends and family in Christ,

Following is an email from Salt Shakers for your ongoing prayer for Australia’s government, that the righteousness of the Word of God would be exalted in our nation!

Julia Gillard and ‘religious faith’ – Please vote in polls
 
When Julia Gillard was sworn in as Prime Minister she used an ‘affirmation’ – not the traditional oath on the Bible. When asked about religion yesterday on the ABC, she said she didn’t believe in God and is “not a religious person” although she was brought up in the Baptist Church. She said “I’m not going to pretend a faith I don’t feel” but added that she respected the religious views of others.

Although we are concerned about the Prime Minister being an atheist, at least she is being upfront about her beliefs!
 
Having an atheist as the Prime Minister is a significant development and a move away from the Christian heritage of our nation. We would like to see committed Christians having influence in the governing of our nation.

We posted a report on these matters – with links – on the front page of our website yesterday.

CTFM Israel mission report part 3 / Woman raised from the dead / by Pastor Daniel

Diana with Dr Murray and Geraldine of CTFM in Hospital Dear family & friends in Christ,

I am sure this part 3 report of God’s mighty power at work right in the Nation of Israel will greatly bless and encourage you to know that we serve a God of miracles!

On the last day of our tour in Israel we all boarded the 2 buses and started on our journey to cross the border into Jordan to visit mount Nebo before proceeding to the Amman Airport for our flights the same day.

In my bus was a lady by the name of Diana from Wagga Wagga in NSW, which is 4 hours from Melbourne, Australia, who had joined us on the tour. Also in the same bus was a Doctor by the name of Murray from Western Australia.

All seemed normal, except for the fact that we were sad to leave Israel, so as usual we started worshipping and singing praises to God. I was seated at the front of the bus as I was using the microphone to lead the people in worship.

While we were driving we were also talking about how great it was to visit the tombs of Lazarus and Jesus, as they were both raised from the dead in Israel over two thousand years ago. Suddenly I heard some shouting in the bus. At first I did not take much notice, but then my wife shouted out, “Danny, Danny come here.” She had just noticed something that she had seen a few times in ministry before.

CTFM Israel mission – Part 2 / by Pastor Daniel

Pastor Daniel and his wife leading the CTFM tour in IsraelEastern / Golden Gate where King Jesus rides through after His 2nd Coming to Jerusalem, IsraelDear family & friends in Christ,
 
I was so happy to read all the encouraging feedback from my last email titled ‘CTFM Israel mission great success – Part 1 / Mini revival in the aircrafts and transit hotel’ and I hope that this Part 2 report will bless you too!

I just do not know where to start once again, but I will try my best to share as briefly as possible as to what happened over our 8 day mission to Israel.
 
Although entering into Israel territory was very exciting, we were all very tired and ready to sleep the day we arrived.  There were many security checks, but they were not too bad. As soon as they heard that we were from Australia, there was great favour given to us. I must also say that with Jesus on our side, we did not have any major issues at all!
 
More than 60 of us were on this intercessory prayer mission trip, including my wife Maryse and little girl Brianna. I must say that the Catch The Fire team were just absolutely fantastic as everyone worked together so well and helped each other, which made the trip so pleasant and very exciting

For the first few days we stayed in the Palestinian controlled areas. The Jews & Palestinians were all very nice to us. We had many opportunities to share the love of Jesus and to pray with them. In fact, our bus driver who was a Palestinian Arab Muslim gave his life to Jesus!
 
Every site we visited in the Holy Land was so special and almost every site had been secured by mainline churches. Thank God for them, because if not for them, there possibly would be no Christian sites to visit in Israel. However, it was most depressing in many of these traditional religious places, as everyone was told to be silent in respect of the holy sites. We at CTFM did play by the rules at first, but then I remembered that Jesus is alive, not dead, and we needed to bring back the joy of the Lord! So I went up to the priest at every site and very kindly challenged him that we should celebrate that Jesus is alive! This strategy was successful at almost every place as we were given permission by the priests to praise and worship the Lord out loud in public! This was fantastic and brought great excitement into many of the traditional religious parts of the trip as we took over lifted our hands to worship the Lord! (more…)

CTFM Israel mission great success – Part 1 / Mini revival in the aircrafts and transit hotel

Flag of IsraelPastor Daniel and his wife leading the CTFM tour in IsraelDear family and friends in Christ,

All glory and honor to the King of kings and the Lord of lords as our mission to Israel which was a great success!

I really do not know where to start. Possibly, there is not enough words to explain all that happened. I cannot write it all at once, but will try to send it across as part 1, 2, 3, etc.

On the 27th May, arouClnd 50 of us from Catch The Fire Ministries boarded the Malaysian Airlines plane in Melbourne. From the time we boarded the aircraft, we knew God was with us and something exciting was going to happen.

As the plane began moving down the runway, we were all very surprised when the pilot said, “Welcome to all at Catch The Fire Ministries. May you all have a great and safe pilgrimage to the Holy Land.” We were so happy and amazed to receive this welcome aboard Malaysian Airlines.

As we were high up in the sky over Australia, all the generals of prayer were ready to fire their weapons of the Holy Spirit (praying in tongues) at 4pm the planned time to unite heaven and earth in prayer. I had told the cabin crew that we were going to pray and suddenly there appeared on all the television screens behind every single seat throughout the whole aircraft the words, “Catch The Fire Ministries please pray for Australia – Ps Daniel.” (more…)

Thank God for the one man who has the courage to stand up to our ruling elite’s assault on Christianity

Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey

Mail Online  on 12th April 2010

The Church and the judiciary are two of the most venerable pillars of the establishment.

But in an explosive development, war has been declared between them over one of the most fundamental aspects of our society – freedom of religious conscience.

In an unprecedented move, the former Archbishop of Canterbury, Lord Carey, and other church leaders are calling upon the Master of the Rolls and other senior judges to stand down from future Court of Appeal hearings involving cases of religious discrimination because of the judges’ perceived bias against Christianity.

Lord Carey is said to have prepared a witness statement in support of Mr McFarlane

No wonder Lord Carey and his colleagues have been galvanised into militant action. For under the guise of promoting ‘ tolerance’ and ‘liberal’ social attitudes, anti-discrimination law is deeply intolerant and illiberal. (more…)

Why are Liberals So Afraid of Prayer?

Bishop Harry JacksonBy Harry Jacskson Jr – The Christian Post  – Apr. 27 2010

The last two weeks have been anything but calm in the world of faith and religion. Conservative Christians are wondering whether they are being betrayed by both the White House and the court system. The ruling of a Wisconsin judge that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional and violates the concept of the separation of church and state has been like a blow to the solar plexus for battle weary Christians. In the much-touted culture wars, there has never been such an open case of liberals throwing down the gauntlet in a specific area that has been deemed “Christian territory.”Perhaps the blame for this change in the political atmosphere should be laid at the feet of the current administration and it’s concept of pluralism. After all, the president boldly declared last year that the U.S. was no longer a Christian nation. This remark infuriated the faithful and set the stage for millions of rank and file Christians to question his personal faith. Next, he did not attend the National Day of Prayer and refused to make a declaration or statement until late in the day last year. Conservative Christian powerbrokers watched tentatively as the administration attempted to bring new leaders into the president’s advisory circle. These new leaders had no real national cache’ with the Christian masses. Despite the fact that the president attended a Congressional prayer breakfast earlier this year, his approach seems to have been aimed at “defanging” the politically powerful, religious right.

Hundreds Commissioned for the End-Time Harvest at CTFM with Brother Yun from China

Brother YunDear friends and family in Christ,

1) Wow, what an amazing weekend in the Spirit of the Lord we experienced at Catch the Fire Ministries with the visit of Brother Yun from the Chinese Underground Church! 

The building was absolutely packed on the Friday night with so many people coming from many churches, denominations, and different places that we had to close the doors to the building as there just wasn’t enough room to accommodate everyone! Approximately 800 people attended over the two meetings on the Friday night and Saturday morning. 

A wonderfully culturally diverse team of six people travelled with Br Yun from China, Finland and America.  Firstly, a well known sister from America previously known as Evie ministered in song in her beautiful soprano voice telling of the goodness and love of Jesus, our Mighty King! Then a brother who interpreted for Br Yun spoke of the Back to Jerusalem Ministry, colouring his talk with many heart-warming and emotional testimonies of salvations and changed lives of humble God needy people.

Then the grand finale was when Brother Yun came up to speak!  Such a humble but God centred man!  He spoke of his persecuted life and leaving all for Jesus.  He stated that there were many nameless people in the Bible describing the 70 who were sent out to preach the gospel, cast out demons, and heal the sick.  He explained that it doesn’t matter who you are, you can be used by God.

Then it was time for the prayer ministry to begin!  A Holy Ghost pandemonium ensued as unnecessary chairs were moved  away and crowds surged forward for deep soaking and commissioning prayers.  Brother Yun’s call was for those willing to suffer anything, even death for Jesus as he explained in the past during much persecution he had said to the Lord “I’m ready to die for You”.  (more…)

Tony Perkins: I see ‘hostility’ toward Christianity

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council,Family Research Council chief confirms ‘politically correct’ options diminishing
April 27, 2010 - By Michael Carl © 2010 WorldNetDaily
“We see a federal judge who’s been on the bench since Jimmy Carter appointed her. She’s not a new judge. This is a judge who’s been around for quite some time. And she decides all of a sudden that the National Day of Prayer is unconstitutional. So I do think what we’re seeing is an environment that is hostile to Christianity,” Perkins said.

He also said what is happening now parallels America’s past.

Tony Perkins, president of the Family Research Council says he sees more and more limits being placed on what is “politically correct” for Christians to do.

“I see an environment being created that is hostile to Christianity,” he said. “Two months ago, I was disinvited to speak at Andrews Air Force Base. Just last week … Franklin Graham [was] disinvited to pray at the Pentagon on the National Day of Prayer.”

He said that “shows that this isn’t about political activity. It’s not about public policy positions. It really comes down to the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” (more…)

The Orwellian logic that’s turning the faith Britain was built on into a crime

Dale McAlpine was hauled to court after telling a gay police community support officer he thought homosexuality was a sinBy Melanie Phillips – 3rd May 2010

Terrifying as this may seem, the attempt to stamp out Christianity in Britain appears to be gathering pace.

Dale Mcalpine was preaching to shoppers in Workington, Cumbria, that homosexuality is a sin when he found himself carted off by the police, locked up in a cell for seven hours and charged with using abusive or insulting words or behaviour.

It appears that two police community support officers – at least one of whom was gay – claimed he had caused distress to themselves and members of the public.

Under our anti-discrimination laws, such distress is not to be permitted.

Dale McAlpine was hauled to court after telling a gay police community support officer he thought homosexuality was a sin.

And so we have the oppressive and sinister situation where a gentle, unaggressive Christian is arrested and charged simply for preaching Christian principles.

It would appear that Christianity, the normative faith of this country on which its morality, values and civilisation are based, is effectively being turned into a crime. (more…)

Cootamundra, NSW Catches the Fire on Pentecost Weekend – Healings & Salvation

Pastor\'s Daniel\'s daughter Shannen leading worship

People in Cootamundra, NSW surrender to the Lord at the altar

Dear family & friends in Christ,

Once again we thank and praise our Heavenly Father for a glorious weekend in Cootamundra NSW as people from 7 different churches hungry for more of Jesus received a mighty touch from the Spirit of God during this past Pentecost weekend!

We praise and thank the Lord for the local Four Square Gospel Church and the Baptist church for organizing these combined church revival meetings.

Pr Daniel led a team of ten others from CTFM, mostly youth on this trip. The Spirit of God used these young men and woman to minister in leading worship at all the services and then to pray for and prophesy over people. Everyone was so blessed to see the young men and woman of God serve the Lord with so much passion and commitment!

Pr Daniel stated,  I was so full of joy to see the next generation at Catch The Fire take on the baton and led people into the presence of God. They did such a fantastic job. I was so blessed to see the way they ministered under the Anointing of the Holy Spirit. We desperately need the next generation to rise up and operating under the Anointing.” (more…)
