The State Of The Nation Prayer Event In London Said To Be Possibly The Most Important Gathering Since WWII

By Teresa Neumann

State Of The Nation Gathering“Put a stake in the ground and declare that we will no longer be divided and that we will allow the Lord to be Lord, and that the church will rise up and say ‘Lord, let Your Kingdom come, let Your will be done.'”

(London, England)—Hundreds of Christians, representing many denominations, gathered at the Emmanuel Centre Church in London last weekend to cry out to God over the moral and spiritual crisis in the UK. As reported in Christian Today, The State of the Nation gathering also focused on repentance over the church’s silence in the face of immoral legislation passed over the decades, particularly in the areas of the unborn child and marriage.

David Noakes, a member of the State of the Nation facilitating group, was quoted as saying the prayer meeting was possibly the most important gathering since World War II. (more…)

Opinion – UN Resolution To Limit Free Speech On Islam

It is the so-called mainstream Muslims, grouped in the Organisation of the Islamic Conference, who are now demanding through the UN that Islam be officially shielded from any criticism. Although written tongue-in-cheek in the language of human rights and of opposition to discrimination, the non-binding UN Resolution seeks to extend protection not to humans but to opinions and to ideas, granting only the latter immunity from being “offended”.

Rather than attempt to put its house in order or to confront such grave questions as the mass murder of Shia Muslims by Sunni Muslims (and vice versa), or the desecration of Muslim holy sites by Muslim gangsters, or the discrimination against Ahmadi Muslims by other Muslims, the UN resolution seeks to extend the whole area of denial from its existing homeland in the Islamic world into the heartland of post-enlightenment democracy, where it is still individuals who have rights, not religions.

1) Abortion Law Under Challenge In Victoria 2) Salt Shakers E-News: NSW – Greens MP Calls For Decriminalisation Of Abortion

Dear friends and family in Christ,

1) The following article recently appeared in the Age.  Please keep praying and acting for a divine reversal of the abortion laws in Victoria!

“Abortion law under challenge”

Jill Stark

THE federal Attorney-General is under increasing pressure from within his own party to use his powers to overturn Victoria’s new abortion laws, which leading lawyers and Catholic hospitals say are in breach of international law.

At issue is a clause in the new legislation that forces doctors who oppose abortion to declare their belief and refer patients seeking terminations to specialists who are willing to provide the procedure.

Queen’s Counsel Neil Young, a former Federal Court judge, and barrister Peter Willis, a former adviser to the attorney-general’s office, who examined the legislation on behalf of Catholic Health Australia, say that Australia will fail to meet its international obligations unless the clause is removed.

Reborn Costello Strides Ahead Of Turnbull

The Australian

by  Dennis Shanahan, Political editor | March 10, 2009

Peter CostelloMalcolm TurnbullPETER Costello is the publicly preferred Liberal leader over Malcolm Turnbull as Kevin Rudd and the Labor Government continue to dominate the Coalition during the economic crisis.

The former treasurer, who is increasingly seen as an alternative Liberal leader, has a two-to-one advantage over Mr Turnbull as preferred prime minister, with strong support among men, Coalition voters, older Australians and the 35 to 49 year olds who are most likely to have mortgages and children.

Even More Treachery

Dear friends

Prime Minister Kevin RuddObamaBoth Rudd and Obama won their elections in part by seeking to woo Christians. Yet both have consistently promoted anti-faith, anti-family and anti-life policies.

Today the Rudd government announced that it has reversed the ban on foreign aid funding for abortion services: http://www.billmuehlenberg.com/2009/03/10/killing-babies-to-improve-their-health/

Western Monk Attacks Christianity

2009 seems to be the year the enemy wants to claim for “atheism”

Dear Pastor Danny,

I have posted my response to the Australian-born monk Dhammika’s vicious attacks against Christianity, myself and my book From Buddha to Jesus @ www.buddhabook.org/bookblog. My refutation of Dhammika’s anti-Christian polemic is in 4 parts. I believe you will get a lot out of it.

My posting will appear on other Christian websites soon. My articles are copyrighted, but feel free to copy them unabridged and paste them on your websites. 

As my book From Buddha to Jesus explains, my stance has been that we will not win people being antagonistic and hostile like Dhammika. I believe it helps us win people to Christ to be respectful and to see the good in others without compromising our core beliefs (e.g. Jesus is Lord!)

2009 seems to be the year the enemy wants to claim for “atheism”. Richard Dawkins and 3 of his atheist friends have called themselves on TV the “4 Horsemen” of the Apocalypse. Dhammika falls more into this brand of Western atheism than Eastern religion. He does not know Isaiah 11:9, “For the earth shall be FULL OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE LORD as the waters cover the sea.” Those who fight God are fighting a losing battle. (more…)

Islamic Hate-Preacher Gets OK To March In London Calling For The Implementation Of Sharia

By Tom Savage and Ross Kaniuk for the Daily Star

Anjem Choudary“The startling move comes just days after processions celebrating St George were banned for being racist” and “despite a previous demonstration in which some of his supporters chanted: ‘Bomb the UK.'” All in the name of “diversity.”

HATE preacher Anjem Choudary marched in London on the 28th of February, calling for Britain to adopt Islamic Sharia law.

The startling move came just days after processions celebrating St George were banned for being racist.

Choudary was given the green light the day before the march despite a previous demonstration in which some of his supporters chanted: “Bomb the UK”.

Publicity for the march, in the East End, carried 41-year-old Choudary’s personal mobile number and said the aim of the campaign was to “emulate the Prophet and his companions, by calling for Islam and speaking out against the oppression of man-made law”. (more…)

My Muslim President Obama: Why Members Of The Islamic Faith See Him As One Of The Flock.

My Muslim President Obama 
Written by Asma Gull Hasan, 02.25.09

Asma Gull HasanI know President Obama is not Muslim, but I am tempted nevertheless to think that he is, as are most Muslims I know. In a very unscientific oral poll, ranging from family members to Muslim acquaintances, many of us feel, just as African-Americans did for the non-black but culturally leaning African-American President Bill Clinton, that we have our first American Muslim president in Barack Hussein Obama.

I know it’s odd to say this. At first, I thought I was the only Muslim engaging in this folly, and I am reluctant to express it lest right-wing zealots try to use “Muslim” as a smear and cite my theory as proof of an Islamic traitor in the White House or some such nonsense. But, since Election Day, I have been part of more and more conversations with Muslims in which it was either offhandedly agreed that Obama is Muslim or enthusiastically blurted out. In commenting on our new president, “I have to support my fellow Muslim brother,” would slip out of my mouth before I had a chance to think twice.

“Well, I know he’s not really Muslim,” I would quickly add. But if the person I was talking to was Muslim, they would say, “yes he is.” They would cite his open nature and habit of reaching out to critics, reminiscent of the Prophet Muhammad’s own approach, and also Obama’s middle name, Hussein. Most of the Muslims I know (me included) can’t seem to accept that Obama is not Muslim. (more…)

Catholic Church Slams New Code Of Conduct Forcing Teachers To Promote Islam And Gay Rights

Oono StannardBy Simon Caldwell

Oona Stannard: ‘It would not be possible for a person of faith to promote another faith this is a matter of conscience’

The Roman Catholic Church has severely criticised a proposed new code of conduct for teachers which it says will force Christian schools to actively promote Islam and gay rights.

The Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales has warned the General Teaching Council, by the professional regulatory body, that many teachers will quit the profession because they will not be able to accept the revised code of conduct in good conscience.

Their advisers say the code would also seriously undermine the religious character of church schools by imposing on them a hostile form of secular morality.

The legally-binding code would discriminate against Christian teachers in recruitment and in the classroom, they say.

Principle 4 of the code demands that teachers ‘proactively challenge discrimination’ and ‘promote equality and value diversity in all their professional relationships and interactions’ before they can be registered. (more…)

ANTI-CONVERSION BILL Delayed In Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan FlagPastor Danny NalliahDear Family and Friends in Christ,

I wish to convey my sincere appreciation to all who prayed and acted in order to stop the above bill from getting through the Parliament of Sri Lanka. Below is a report I received a few days ago. Further, I personally spoke to several Christian leaders and others who have now advised me that the President has personally assured some of them that he will not let it pass through Parliament.

The delay tactic is because the President is planning on calling for elections this year and would dissolve Parliament before that. If this happens, all existing bills scheduled to go through Parliament will be automatically cancelled. (more…)

“God Uses Ordinary People!” Merrigum Harvest Weekend

Little Girl Accepts The Lord Into Her LifeThe CTFM Team at The FarmGod loves people, He uses ordinary people, He seeks humble, willing vessels simply available, and prepared to listen to His voice and obey. Who would have thought a small group of “seemingly” ordinary Christians in a sleepy country town called Merrigum (between Tatura and Kyabram, half hour from Shepparton in the Goulburn Valley) could have believed for Ps. Danny and the Catch The Fire Team (Dianne, Rosalie, Glen & Noreen) to join with them for a whole weekend and host a special worship weekend during the peak of the Goulburn Valley fruit-picking season? To be blessed in seeing God touch the hearts of so many young backpackers from the nations of the world as they stood to give thanks for our nation of Australia and their role in “the Harvest”.

Shalom Worship Centre, a non-denominational apostolic healing Church hosted a special prayer and worship weekend “Miracles in Merrigum” believing for God to bring hope and healing to our communities presently struggling with the many issues confronting both our farming communities, flood and fire victims, and those seriously affected by the global economic meltdown. Our nation needs prayer, our farmers need prayer, our leaders need prayer, …the Church needs to learn how to pray! Jesus is turning over the money tables in His Church, God is calling His House back to be what the Father had purposed – “that My House shall be called a House of Prayer for all Nations”! (Mathew 21:12-13, Isaiah 56:7, 11 Chronicles 6&7 –ordinances of prayer) (more…)

Largest Church In Middle East, Thriving In The United Arab Emirates, With Healings In Almost Every Main Service

Dr. V. DilkumarBy Aimee Herd

“Never did I ever expect such things, never, never… I only rejoice for what I am today because of Jesus.”

(Dubai, UAE)—One might expect to find such a vital Christian congregation as the King’s Revival flourishing in the US or Australia, however, this 7,000-member church, which has 24 pastors is situated in the Middle East.

King’s Revival Church International began as a small house church of just 7 people, led by Dr. V. Dilkumar, who moved from his native Sri Lanka in 1991 to Dubai, one of 7 states in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). From its humble start, the church grew to become the largest Evangelical church in the Middle East.

“Never did I ever expect such things, never, never,” Dr. Dilkumar told CBN News, “I only rejoice for what I am today because of Jesus.”

The founding pastor went on to explain that there are 14 services weekly at King’s Revival, 4 in English, the rest in other languages. (more…)
