You Can’t Stop the Holy Spirit—Iran’s Persecution of Christians Causing Huge Growth of Underground Church

by Aimee Herd : Jun 6, 2011 : Trevor Persaud – Christianity Today

“…in places like Tehran and more educated communities, if you say, ‘I have become a Christian,’ they will respect you because of your courage and your independent thinking.” -Issa Dibaj

(Iran)—Just as we have witnessed in China, where oppression against Christians there has only caused faith, and the underground Church to grow exponentially over the years; the same is reportedly happening now in Iran.

According to a recent article in Christianity Today, it was noted that Iran’s Government previously had discounted Believers denying that any “Iranians become Christians.” But that now the House Church movement has become too big for them to ignore, and they’ve subsequently labeled the grass roots movement as “enemies of Iran.”

Pakistani Believers Defy Islamic Rule for Christ

Monday, 11 July 2011 - Mission Network News News – Featured News

ChristianChristianity and Islam in Pakistan s working in remote Pakistani communities are facing extreme pressure, according to a Voice of the Martyrs Canada report.

A believer was handing out gospel literature when a group of Muslims threatened him to try to get him to stop. In another city, Christians who work in an evangelist’s office are now under investigation, and authorities are watching their mail.

The notorious blasphemy law also comes into play, imposing the death penalty on anyone who defames Mohammed, and life in prison for anyone who defiles the Quran. Many Pakistani Christians have been falsely accused under this law.

Against this backdrop, Mawii Pudaite with Bibles For The World says, “In recent months, we have been getting telephone calls and emails with urgent requests for gospels, New Testaments and Bibles in Urdu language for the people in the country of Pakistan.” (more…)

Pr Daniel ministering at the altarPr Daniel ministering on the Gold CoastDear family & friends in Christ,

We thank and praise our Almighty Father God in Heaven for His increasing presence and end-time outpouring of His Holy Spirit anointing to prepare the Bride of Christ for the return of our reigning King of kings and LORD of lords!

We desperately need the anointing of the Holy Spirit to lead every single church service, so we can experience the manifest presence of our Lord Jesus Christ and the miraculous outworking of the supernatural gifts of the Spirit of God!

Over the weekend gone by, Pr Daniel ministered in the Gold Coast and Deception Bay in QLD at two AOG Churches, where many who gathered to hear the prophetic Word of the Lord, were mightily touched by the presence of God and greatly challenged to rise up with the anointing of the Holy Spirit!

The altar calls were packed with people lining up for divine healing, deliverance and a supernatural encounter with Jesus, as many were mightily blessed as Pr Daniel prayed and ministered to them!

People from 17 different churches, including Catholic, Lutheran, Baptist, Anglican, Orthodox and many different Pentecostal churches, united as the Body of Christ at the Sunday evening service.

Also, many were greatly challenged and blessed to hear about the start of “Rise Up Australia Party – Keep Australia Australian”.

Despite 200 Murders, Iraqi Church Grows Strong

Anglican Canon Andrew White Thursday, 02 June 2011 – Felicia Mann - Charisma News Online Featured News

Most Bible-believing Christians would probably run from a church after one or two of its members were murdered, much less after witnessing 200 killed in the first six months of the year.

Indeed, many of the most fervent saints would abandon a congregation where bomb blasts are the norm and where saints are kidnapped on a weekly basis.

Despite these horrible realities, however, Iraqi Anglican Canon Andrew White says his Baghdad church is 4,000 people strong—and his members are among the happiest church-goers he’s ever seen.

“So many Christians have been killed,” White said in an exclusive interview with Charisma Publisher Steve Strang which you can watch below.

“Yet the church in Iraq is so happy—miraculously happy. The fact that the church is like this is incredible. And they’ve got a huge amount to teach us.”

Luis Palau Leads Unprecedented Evangelistic Campaign in France

by Colin James : Jul 11, 2011 : Luis Palau Association

The gatherings brought together civic and church leaders as never before, breaking down barriers and establishing relationships that will last for years.

(Marseille, France)—In a country that has resisted open proclamation of the Gospel for hundreds of years, God provided a much needed breakthrough this past week in southern France, focusing attention on the city of Marseille and the greater area of Provence.

Invited by 1 Meme Coeur, an organization made up of church leaders from throughout the region, world evangelist Luis Palau led historic evangelistic campaigns in the cities of Istres, Aix-en-Provence, and Marignane. The campaign culminated in a three day “Gospel” festival on Marseille’s crowded Plage du Prado beach.

Riding on the tails of France’s official Day of Music (June 21), and appealing to France’s affinity for Gospel music, the festival in Marseille helped reach 16,000 people with the Gospel. The festival included a clear Gospel message from Palau, as well as special musical performances by guest artists from throughout France and the United Kingdom. Palau was also joined by the 73-member Salem Baptist Gospel Choir from Chicago, led by Rev. James Meeks.

Council approves CTFM building permit / RUA Prayer 11th Anniversary / Lord Monckton and Pr Daniel in Dandenong Weekly

CTFM team prayerfully dedicating new land to the LordPr Daniel and CTFM team dedicating new land to the LordDear family & friends in Christ across Australia and around the World,

1)It is with great joy that we bring to your attention that our local council in the South Eastern Suburbs of Melbourne has finally approved our CTFM building permit after applying for it more than one year ago!

We thank God for this approval which will allow us to start building our new place of worship!

We also want to thank the Lord for His provision as  we were able to purchase the land at a cost of $590,000/- in January 2011. We currently owe the bank only $ 60,000/- as we have paid off the rest. Thank you so much for your financial and prayer support. We hope to pay the remaining $60,000/- off to the bank by the end of this year.

However, we are now trusting the Lord for the finances to build the new sanctuary where hundreds of people can come and worship Him. This will possibly cost us around $ 1.4 million. We know where there is vision, there is always provision. Please pray and partner with us in this great vision to see our nation of Australia and the Nations come back to Jesus. (more…)

A Pathologist Puts Divine Healing Under the Microscope

By Dan Wooding – Founder of ASSIST Ministries – Friday, June 10, 2011

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) — Dr. Fidel Cholo Fernandez, a 57-year-old pathologist from the city of Zamboanga in the Philippines, spends his days studying diseases under the microscope, but he also is a believer in divine healing.

Fernandez is one of more than 220 doctors, scientists and medical professionals from 30 countries who are gathered in Brisbane, a city that earlier this year was devastated by floods, to participate in the 8th World Christian Doctors Network “Spirituality and Medicine” conference.

Held on June 11-12, 2010, the medics — many of whom pray for their patients as well as giving them more usual treatment — to explore whether miracles still happen today and, if they do, to provide medical data to prove them.

The doctor’s believe that all “miracles” should be provable by data, and so they are giving case studios that are presented with the data flashed on large screens in the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.
The Philippines-born doctor told me about a particular healing — the story of a Korea Christian called Deacon Han who had been diagnosed with early gastric cancer following an endoscopic study on September, 2002. (more…)

A doctor brings an amazing report during Brisbane medical conference

BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (ANS) — A Christian group of doctors and medical professionals listened in shocked amazement as one of their own told the incredible story of how he came back from the dead.

He was Dr. Sean Thomas George, an Indian born doctor who is now a consultant physician in a West Australian hospital and he told his extraordinary story before more than 220 Christian medics on the first day of the 8th Annual International Christian Medical Conference called “Spirituality and Medicine” being held June 11-12, 2011 in Brisbane, Australia.

“I was dead for 1 hour and 25 minutes, but came back to life after my wife prayed a simple prayer,” said Dr. George, who provided all kinds of medical data that put on a large screen for the other doctors to check out.
He said that it on October 24, 2008, he returned from the dead to amaze colleagues who had battled for almost 55 minutes to revive his lifeless heart.

‘Rise Up Australia’ Vision the Lord gave to transform Australia by 2020

Pr Daniel at the first announcement of the Rise Up Australia Political PartyDear family & friends in Christ across our nation of Australia,

Many people who have listened to me speak and share the vision the Lord gave me to transform Australia by 2020, have asked me to put it in writing to share with others.

Please take some time to read through all of it and forward to your family members and friends. I pray that you will be blessed.

In my book ‘Worship Under The Sword’ I shared my testimony of how God miraculously saved me from execution at least twice, once in Sri Lanka and then in Saudi Arabia (when we worked with the underground Church). I also share how I have been pelted with stones on several occasions, received other forms of physical abuse and have even received many death threats.

Spiritually and prophetically speaking, at times I feel that we killed the bear in Sri Lanka, the lion in Saudi Arabia and now we are ready to defeat Goliath in Australia. I am sure once David in the Word of God killed the bear and the lion, he was definitely not looking for a puppy dog or a kitty cat.

On 21st July 1997 at 3.40am in Saudi Arabia (40 min from Mecca) when I had a one on one supernatural encounter with the resurrected Jesus, He told me to go to Australia for He was about to do a mighty work in Australia.  In my book, you can read the whole life transforming encounter which lasted for 2 hours and 40 min. He also told me my short time mission would be to work for the persecuted Church and that He would give me favour with government leaders. In obedience, my family and I packed our bags and made our journey to this Great South Land Down Under.
