Millions of Youth Pray for Awakening on School Campuses

 9/26/2012 Charisma News Staff

Before the opening bell on Wednesday, millions of students from across the country gathered at their school’s flagpole to pray for their nation, their towns and cities, and their schools at the annual See You at the Pole (SYATP) prayer gathering.

“First, how stinking awesome is it that our kids, shy or bold, were coming together as one in Christ! Peer pressure didn’t stop them…,” Sarah Downing wrote on Facebook. “We had 3 girls at the pole this morning. Christ was glorified and the school lifted to our awesome God!”

The First Amendment guarantees students the right to pray on school grounds. During any non-instructional time—before or after school, in between classes, during the lunch hour or on the playing field—students may express their opinions verbally or in writing. Prayer is a form of speech, and therefore during non-instructional time, students have the constitutional right to pray individually or in groups.

Franklin Graham: ‘Our Nation Has Lost Its Way’

 10/1/2012 – Charisma News

After watching the political conventions of both parties last month, it’s clear that America is quickly hurtling down a road toward God’s judgment.

One party affirms a belief in the sanctity of life. The other party does not. One party supports the traditional, biblical definition of marriage between one man and one woman. The other party enthusiastically endorses and promotes same-sex marriage.

I will not—cannot—vote for a candidate, regardless of their political affiliation, who supports same-sex marriage and advocates abortion. God will judge our nation if we continue down this path.

Here in Charlotte, N.C., near our headquarters building, the Democrats held their convention and made a clear choice to leave God and Jerusalem out of their platform. They caught so much criticism from around the country that they moved to reinsert the words but needed a two-thirds majority to make the change.

The mayor of Los Angeles, Antonio Villaraigosa, who was presiding at that time during the convention, asked all in favor to say “aye.” Many voiced their approval. But when he asked all opposed to say “no,” I watched in horror and absolute disbelief at the deafening roar as delegates rejected including any mention of God’s name. After the mayor called for two more votes, each with the same result, opponents shouted in protest as the mayor wielded his gavel and declared it approved.

I appreciate those delegates at the Democratic convention who stood up by saying “aye.” They were the minority, with the majority clearly rejecting any mention of God. This all happened on national television, and it sent goose bumps up my spine and shock waves across America. When the prophet Jeremiah warned the Judeans of impending Babylonian captivity, he repeatedly reminded them that their exile would take place because they had forgotten God (Jeremiah 2:32; 3:21; 13:25; 18:15).

Do Prayer Rallies Really Do Any Good?

10/4/2012 Jennifer LeClaire – Charisma Magazine

Another day, another prayer rally. That’s the sentiment of the naysayers who don’t believe intercession can turn the direction of a nation.

After all, they say, you’ve got IHOPs all over the world praying—some of them filling up the bowls 24/7. You’ve got TheCall. You’ve got TheCry. You’ve got the National Day of Prayer. You’ve got OneCry. You’ve got Cry Out America. You’ve got Broken Before the Throne. Indeed, there is a diversity of dedicated prayer warriors from coast to coast organizing solemn assemblies based on 2 Chronicles 7:14.

If all this prayer worked, the naysayers argue, why haven’t abortions ended? Why hasn’t revival come? Why hasn’t there been a long-prophesied Third Great Awakening? Why isn’t the prayer changing anything? I believe the prayers are making an impact, even though things often appear to be growing worse despite massive intercession.

Beware the Spirit of Unbelief

Still, some are skeptical. They don’t believe that God’s Word doesn’t return to Him void. They don’t believe it accomplishes what He sent it to do (see Is. 55:11). They don’t believe if two of us agree on earth as touching anything that we get what we ask for (see Matt. 18:19). Simply stated, they don’t believe.

That unbelief leads to questions, arguments and declarations.  They ask, “Why even bother praying anymore?” They argue, “This nation is going to hell in a hand basket no matter what we do!” They declare, “It’s too late for America.”

Millions of Global Christians United in Prayer on October 7 During The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem

Millions of Christians united across denominational, cultural, and political differences on Sunday, October 7, as part of The Day of Prayer for the Peace of Jerusalem (DPPJ) to intercede for the city God calls His own and to invoke God’s blessing, purposes, and provision upon all of Jerusalem’s people. From over 175 nations, believers gathered to pray in their worship services, in their homes, on college campuses, in regional gatherings, and on a 24 Hour Prayer Conference Call.

Broadcast by GOD TV to over 200 nations, Christians were also able to join the special DPPJ Celebration at the International Convention Center in Jerusalem. It was co-hosted by the International Christian Embassy Jerusalem ( ICEJ), who had gathered more than 5,000 believers from nearly 90 countries for that week. Its Executive Director – Dr. Jürgen Bühler – told the packed audience: “We have to pray for Israel like never before and stand with Israel like never before. We have to pray for all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, both Jew and Arab…and as we pray for Israel, we must pray for the Arab nations too.”

Special guests and speakers participating in the Jerusalem event included the Israeli Hip Hop artists “Lions of Zion”, as well as Deputy Speaker of the Knesset, MK Danny Danon; Chief Rabbi of Efrat, Dr. Shlomo Riskin; International Director of Interreligious Affairs of the AJC, Rabbi Dr. David Rosen; and other Jewish and Evangelical Christian leaders.

This multinational, multi-denominational DPPJ global prayer movement was started in 2002 by Evangelical Christian leaders with Dr. Jack W. Hayford and Rev. Dr. Robert Stearns serving as co-chairmen. Rev. Stearns, Founder/Director of Eagles’ Wings, explained: “We are gathering together in Jerusalem during the season of the High Holidays and declaring that Christians will continue to pray for G-d’s peace to come to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem. We will remind G-d of His promises, and we will remind Israel’s detractors that Israel is not alone.” (more…)

Robert Spencer in PJ Media: Now that the U.S. Is an Islamic State…

By Robert Spencer – PJ Media

In PJ Media this morning I discuss how Obama is now enforcing Sharia blasphemy laws on American troops:

A bipartisan group of six senators recently wrote to Pakistani President Asif Ali Zardari, asking that he free Rimsha Masih, the eleven-year-old girl who was being held on blasphemy charges and is still under serious threat of mob violence and resumed prosecution even though she has been released on bail. The letter is a welcome indication that the world is finally noticing Pakistan’s blasphemy laws — but working at cross purposes with those who are trying to get Pakistan to scrap these laws is none other than Barack Obama, who is now doing nothing less than effectively enforcing them upon the U.S. military. The senators wrote to the wrong President.

Rimsha reportedly has Down syndrome, yet was charged with blasphemy for allegedly burning some pages of the Qur’an among some trash she had collected. Even worse, a Muslim cleric has now been accused of planting the pages of the Qur’an among the remnants of the papers she burned, so as to ensure her conviction. According to Pakistan’s Dawn, a witness “said he tried to stop the cleric from tampering with the evidence, but he insisted it would strengthen the case and lead to eviction of the girl’s family from the locality.”

Muslim Brotherhood Calls for More Protests Against America

Posted by Daniel Greenfield Bio ? on Sep 12th, 2012 

Brotherhood secretary-general Mahmoud Hussein called for a “peaceful protest to condemn insults to religious convictions and insults to the Prophet”, adding it would start after noon prayers on Friday in front of main mosques across Egypt.

Right… peaceful. Morsi did not condemn the attacks and his government failed to provide proper protection even though a similar attack had been launched against the Israeli embassy.

The Egyptian media has been stoking the flames of this conflict and Morsi recently took control of the media and appointed Muslim Brotherhood loyalists to head state-owned media outlets. That means there is a high probability that the Muslim Brotherhood directed this attack or at the very least used propaganda to set it in motion.

Obama is handing a cool billion to Morsi, but the Muslim Brotherhood is still conducting protests against America. The Arabic Muslim Brotherhood site contains a call from the Jordanian Muslim Brotherhood calls for “official and popular levels of action to stop this crime against Islam.” While the English Ikhwan site has put up a condemnation of the Benghazi attack, no such condemnation exists on the Arabic Ikhwan site.

Ryan: Obama’s Position on Israel ‘Borders on Contempt’

Charisma News 9/17/2012-  David Brody /CBN News Chief Political Correspondent

GOP vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan says the Obama administration’s actions toward Israel border on “contempt.”

It was just one of several criticisms the Wisconsin representative had regarding President Obama’s foreign policy record.

The minute Ryan came onto the scene, conservatives couldn’t get enough of him, heaping praise on their fresh, 42-year-old idea man.

All the energy and rave reviews, however, have not translated into a lead in the polls against the president—at least not yet.

“Why do you think he’s still leading at the polls at this point?” CBN News’s David Brody asked Ryan.

Democrats’ Boo-God Moment Puts Black, Latino Faithful in ‘Tough Place’

By Alex Murashko , Christian Post Reporter – September 8, 2012

Political analysts tracking the mood of minority groups such as African Americans and Latinos, especially those within the church community, say the Democrats did themselves no favor when it came to matters of faith during the national convention.

Black and Latino Christians have been put in a difficult position over the DNC platform, according to several stories posted at BCNN1.com, an online site “dedicated to reporting breaking news from a black, Christian perspective for the glory of God.”

The news site, also found online at blackchristiannews.com has pooled news from other media showing that some Christian leaders in minority communities are not too happy with the apparent “progressive shift” to a more secular Democratic Party.

“My message is this could cost us our election,” said Fernando Cabrera, a New York pastor and a city council member from the Bronx. “I see myself as a reformer, and I’m hoping that we can put enough pressure (on the party).

And as you know one of the biggest issues is gay marriage.”

Mrs. Obama almost makes you forget that her husband supports killing babies … almost

by Alveda King Sep 06, 2012 

September 6, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The First Lady of America took the grandstand this week in a rousing speech. As the emails flooded into my cache, with the pros and cons, I wrote back to one sincere young lady: “She looked beautiful and proves that she’s nearly as much a consummate skilled politician as her husband. She almost makes you forget that her husband supports killing babies and destroying natural marriage. Almost…”

In comparison to Mrs. Romney’s sincere and impassioned speech in support of her husband last week, Mrs. Obama’s speech was more glittering and glamorous. She skillfully moved through the controversial issues of abortion and homosexual marriage by drawing comparisons between the two leading candidates without ever mentioning her husband’s opponent’s name during the subtle attack on his candidacy.

Mrs. Obama’s efforts to pit the rich against the poor also fall short of the mark, when we consider that both candidates and their families are not poor people. The President and First Lady are not poor by a long shot. Both candidates also have humble beginnings in their ancestries. Neither the President nor the Governor have ancestors who have been slaves in America by the way.

Pr Daniel returns to Australia after a great ministry tour of US & Canada

Dear family & friends in Christ,

We thank and praise God for His mighty hand at work during our recent ministry tour of US & Canada! It was so great to have my wife Maryse and our youngest daughter Brianna with us. We’re so happy to be back home in Australia, as there is no place like home. We also dearly missed our son Nigel & daughter Shannen very much, as they could not join us on this trip.

Call me bias, but I cannot help it to say that there is no place like Australia. Everywhere we went, when people heard that we were from Australia, there was such a warm welcome, including at many airport check points and with custom officials. Praise God that Australia has become a good friend of many nations and we thank God for the favour Australia has around the world.

I had the wonderful privilege of ministering with Jimmy Swaggart Ministries in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. God opened the door for me to minister at three different churches and to be on SBN TV, including the ‘Francis & Friends’ Program, which reaches a potential of tens of millions of people in America and around the world, including Australia. The feedback was amazing, with many greatly challenged to take a stand for Jesus and their nation.

At Pr Jimmy’s church, people were mightily touched by the Holy Spirit through the Word of God, as almost the whole church came to the altar to stand in the gap to pray for America. This happened in almost every church where I ministered, particularly because the US is facing a very important election in a few months which may very well determine the destiny of this great nation of America.

In Toronto, Canada,  it was so great to catch up with family and friends at a family wedding. The re-union was so great. I also had the wonderful opportunity to minister at ‘Miracle Family Temple Church’ in Toronto. At these revival meetings, many received a mighty healing touch from God, with others set free from demons. In this church a lady who was completely deaf in her left ear, was instantly healed. I trust that many of you have already read this exciting testimony and watched the videos. For those who haven’t yet, you may click the following two links to watch, one of the lady receiving prayer and the other of her sharing her testimony with tears of joy.

Israel accuses Obama administration of sending ‘mixed messages’ to Iran

By Richard Spencer, Middle East Correspondent  Telegraph.co.uk – 31 Aug 2012 

Israel’s vice prime minister has attacked the Obama administration for sending “mixed messages” to Iran in the wake of a report saying Tehran had more than doubled its capacity to enrich uranium.

Moshe Yaalon made explicit the growing gulf between Israel and its closest ally, the United States, saying that Iran did not take seriously the military threat it was under over its nuclear programme.

“We have an exchange of views, including with our friends in the United States, who in our opinion, are in part responsible for this feeling in Iran,” he told Israeli radio. “There are many cracks in the ring closing tighter on Iran. We criticise this.”

Mr Yaalon’s criticism is striking because he has been among those in the Israeli cabinet believed to have been urging time for sanctions against Iran to be allowed to work.

However, the rate of progress in the Iranian nuclear programme, even if there is no firm evidence that it intends to push ahead with building a nuclear weapon, is being used by Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister, and Ehud Barak, defence minister, to back their case that a military strike is needed sooner rather than later.

New Reality TV series called “Becoming…Christian from Muslim”

By Dan Wooding Founder of ASSIST Ministries –  August 16, 2012 

‘Wow, wow. It’s great!‘ says a former Muslim who is considering the Christian faith.

LOS ANGELES, CA (ANS) — Reality television: can we possibly need more? Yes, according to Joseph Nassrallah, CEO of The Way TV (www.atvsat.com/en). He believes the world needs to know about when a Muslim becomes a Christian.

Nassrallah is confident the new series will make an impact. “Becoming… Christian from Muslim is one of the strongest, most attractive and well prepared preaching series,” he says. “I pray the Lord will use it to attract millions, through satellites, into His blessed fold.”This month The Way TV begins broadcasting a reality series on the discipleship of a previously Muslim new believer.

Traditionally, no Christian from a Muslim background would take the risk of showing their face on television. But in the last decade all that has changed. Former Muslims are becoming bolder in their love for Christ and desire to see other Muslims saved through him. Huda, the series’ new believer is one of them.

“I want to join this program,” says Huda, whose name means enlightened, “because there are a lot of things unknown to people like myself who are from a Muslim background. Before, I didn’t know anything about the Lord Jesus. Through this program I am happy to share the answers to questions that will enlighten others as much as they will enlighten me.”
