Prayers Answered – Record Breaking Rains Continue

Dear Friends and Family in Christ,

We just received this very exciting email from a supporter of Catch the Fire Ministries who attended the ‘National Prayer Call’ at the Great Hall in Parliament House in Canberra on 22nd Oct 2007. I pray that you’re wonderfully blessed as you read the miraculous answers to united prayer for rain across our nation. Yesterday on the 3rd December, we in Melbourne experienced more than 30mm of rain. I personally want to thank all of our faithful supporters from across our nation who joined together in praying for rain. Surely, we’re experiencing the mighty hand of our Creator God at work in breaking the drought! Please continue to pray for the fulfillment of 2 Chronicles 7:13-14 in this present generation. My heart’s one cry is, ‘Lord, give us Australia as an inheritance and bless this Great South Land of the Holy Spirit!”

With all of my Love,

Ps Danny Nalliah (more…)

“Public Servants Will Advise Me, Not God: Rudd”

Dear Friends and Family in Christ,

Possibly you would be aware that over the past weekend the newspapers across the nation have reported several alarming statements by Prime Minister elect Kevin Rudd (who professes Christianity as his personal faith) regarding ‘God and Politics’. Many Christian leaders across Australia have promoted Kevin Rudd as an alternative Christian candidate to former PM John Howard. Unfortunately (or fortunately), within a week of being elected as Australia’s new Prime Minister, Mr. Rudd is making it very clear where he truly stands now. Following is the beginning of the article ‘Public servants will advise me, not God: Rudd’ from the Daily Telegraph on Friday November 30th 2007. (more…)

Even If The Truth Is Unpopular It Is Still The Truth

by Pastor Bob Cotton, Maitland
Dear Pastor Danny,   

I want to encourage you to keep declaring the truth according to God’s Word regardless of how it is received.

I noted that when you declared what the Lord had told you, you included the word “IF”. While some would see this as a disclaimer for you to dodge criticism should the prophetic word not come to pass – the “IF” is meant to be an encouragement & motivation to the Church.  2 Chron 7:14  is an example of this type of condition. “IF my people….. etc”.  Obviously, the condition was not met.

Danny NalliahBy Ps Danny of Catch the Fire Ministries

Dear Family in Christ,

I am just back in my office after 5 days of ministry in Western Australia. Sorry for the delay in bringing out this email.

Media Release – Climate Change Crisis Points to Sin

Danny NalliahCatch the Fire Ministries leader Pastor Danny Nalliah has branded the nation’s drought catastrophe the result of a spiritual crisis in Australia and tied the flow of rain fall directly to sin and prayer.
Pastor Nalliah points to a verse in the Bible which reveals the reasons behind the drought. “In the Word of Almighty God (i.e. the Bible), it proclaims in 2 Chronicles 7:13-14, “When I shut up the heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people, if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn away from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (more…)

Bible Belt For Labor Article – Herald Sun – Nov 9th 07

Ps Danny NalliahNovember 09, 2007 12:00am:

Article by John Masanauskas
WHEN Labor leader Kevin Rudd stepped on to the MCG for a sports policy announcement in September, he got an unexpected question from an Auskick parent looking on.

“Do you believe Jesus is the son of God?” the man asked.

Mr Rudd seemed initially perplexed, but then answered by saying that his status as a regular churchgoer was well-known.

For some religious groups campaigning in the election, that wasn’t good enough. (more…)

Article Featured in The Age Newspaper, 1st November 2007 “Howard Keeps Link to Controversial Pastor”

Ps Danny NalliahThe Hon. Prime Minister John HowardMisha Schubert
November 1, 2007

PRIME Minister John Howard has condemned the League of Rights as “a bit anti-Semitic”, but refused to cut ties with an evangelical pastor who has accepted a platform from the far right-wing group.

Opposition Leader Kevin Rudd also sidestepped the issue of government access for the pastor, warning only that people should be “very, very wary” of dealings with the “grossly anti-Semitic organisation”.

Danny Nalliah, head of Melbourne-based Catch the Fire Ministries, last night reaffirmed he would address the league again, despite criticism from Jewish leaders that his actions had conferred legitimacy on the group.

“I would not change my view. I stand by it,” Pastor Nalliah told The Age. “I am a Christian minister — my task is to go after the sinner, not cast away the sinner. There is no one beyond redemption.” (more…)
