A Very Special Invitation To The 10th Anniversary Of RUA Prayer Meetings / Praying For Federal Election 2010

United In Prayer At RUA Meeting

Dear family & friends in Christ,

On this Friday the 6th of August we will be celebrating the 10th Anniversary of the Rise Up Australia national prayer movement which has been rapidly spreading across the land of Australia bringing hundreds of praying Christians from many churches and denominations to their knees to cry unto the Lord for our nation’s transformation!

With more than 60 locations having RUA prayer meetings each month, this interdenominational prayer movement under the leadership of Pr Daniel through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, has brought back a culture of fervent prayer to the church, which was desperately lacking.

Pr Daniel stated, “In the year 2000 while I was ministering in Ethiopia, the Lord gave me a strategy to transform Australia through United Prayer, Fasting and Repentance by 2020. I praise God we have now reached the halfway mark and 10 years of corporate prayer has certainly shifted the spiritual climate over Australia. I believe the next 10 years will bring a great harvest into the Kingdom of God.”Australia For Jesus!

I thank God for the many prayer movements in our nation that the Lord is moving through. RUA is a ministry wing of CTFM and has taken a stand to lead the way in corporate repentance for the Body of Christ, to pray in Spirit and in Truth, to breakdown demonic strongholds, and to destroy the works of the enemy, in order for our nation to experience a radical reformation through the manifest glory of God’s presence. I want to see my generation rise up and fulfil God’s prophetic plans for Australia and the nations in preparing the multitudes to meet the Bride Groom King, Jesus our Lord and Saviour, who I believe is coming back very, very soon!”

There will be a very special focus on the Federal Election, as we expect some Christian Candidates standing for election to be present at the meeting.  They will be given the opportunity to share for a few minutes and then we will pray for them and the election.

First the Power, then the Promise: God’s Light Show over Chicago

Rainbow over ChicagoLightning over Chicagoby Aimee Herd : Jun 30, 2010

He covers His hands with lightning, and commands it to strike.” Job 36:32

God has always said there would be signs in the heavens and in the earth. This could be a sign that our government, where most of the new team are from—Chicago—should pay attention to the God who is the “Father of Lights.” And so should we all pay close attention to the signs sent from Heaven. –Steve Shultz, BCN.

A video camera set up by Craig Shimala captured some amazing action in the sky over Chicago recently, and it’s been posted online in slow motion, making it all the more remarkable.

In the first video, several chains of white-hot lightning are seen connecting with familiar landmarks outlining the Chicago skyline—a “triple strike” on the Willis Tower, Trump International Hotel and Tower and the John Hancock Building.

But the light-show wasn’t over, and fortunately Shimala kept the camera rolling for what came next—shown on the second video. (more…)

Dr Glenda healed of partial blindnessDear family & friends in Christ,Ps Daniel praying as youth surrender to Jesus at altar

What an amazing weekend in the increasing Spirit of breakthrough and revival it has been in Hallam (Melbourne), Gosford (Central Coast), and Maitland, NSW!

Every week is getting better with an ever increasing outpouring of the Holy Spirit and Fire!

Last Friday night was such a glorious night with the Watoto Children’s Choir from Uganda, Africa ministering through anointed praise and worship at the CTFM base in Hallam. We had a packed out crowd of over 300 people from many different denominations, churches, and ethnicities as the Spirit of God deeply touched the hearts of many through tWatoto Children\'s Choir at CTFMhe beautiful children. Around 50 people made a public commitment to Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

On Sunday Pr Howard Bass from Beersheba, Israel shared the prophetic word of God and many were greatly impacted when they heard what the Lord is doing in the Middle East and in the nation of Israel.  He also shared on the many serious challenges facing the nation of Israel and the desperate need to pray for Israel every day.

Pr Daniel ministered in Gosford, (Central Coast) NSW on the weekend as hundreds who gathered to hear the word of God were mightily touched and tremendously blessed through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Around 25 people made a commitment to Jesus as Lord and Saviour. Many young people were so radically impacted and set on fire for Jesus. Around 18 people (including many youth) were baptised in the Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues for the very first time. Many others were healed and set free. One lady travelled from Newcastle to share how God healed her from partial blindness when Pr Daniel prayed for her over the telephone a few months ago. Everyone  was so excited to hear her miraculous testimony.

1) We give all glory and honour to Jesus the King of kings and the Lord of lords for His mighty hand increasingly at work in our Nation of Australia! 
 
The last few weeks have been absolutely exciting and glorious, including this past weekend as Ps Daniel and a team from CTFM ministered in Culcairn, NSW.
 
Over the weekend hundreds gathered to hear the word of God and almost every one present was mightily touched by the Spirit of God. So many were healed and mightily challenged to rise up and take a stand for Jesus.   Around 18 people, including many youth and children, got baptised in the Holy Spirit and prayed in tongues for the very first time in their life.
 
One of the highlights of the weekend was that Diana from Wagga, Wagga, who was raised from the dead in Israel by the power of God, shared her testimony of God’s amazing grace.   People were just absolutely shocked when they saw Diana in person.   What a mighty God we serve! (more…)

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…)

Church Shift! 10/40 Window No Longer a Mission Field, but a “mission force”

10/40 Window now a Mission ForceAimee Herd (June 24, 2010)

“The Eastern Church that is rising up with radical faith is going to mobilize and inspire the rest of the Body of Christ around the world to get the Great Commission done.”

Pastor and Hip Hop artist, Jaseon Ma, has produced a film (1040) documenting the amazing work God seems to be doing in the Asia 10/40 window; (where the bulk of the world’s unreached people live) in the areas between 10 degrees and 40 degrees North Latitude.

Asia is a region of the world that, Jaseon explains, is alive and in motion with God’s Spirit in a “dramatic way.” (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…)

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…)

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…)

HOW TO BE BAPTISED IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

Receiving the Baptism of the Holy SpiritJ. Lee Grady Charisma Channels – Spirit Led Living  Saturday, 17 April 2010

Find out the simple steps you can take to be filled with the Holy Spirit.

When we meet Christ and put our trust in Him, we are “born again” (John 3:3) and we receive the Holy Spirit in our hearts. This is the most important decision we will ever make. This happened to the disciples of Jesus in John 20:22, which says: “[Jesus] breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit.'”

 But before Jesus ascended to heaven He told His disciples to wait in Jerusalem until the “promise of the Father” had come (Luke 24:49). He told them that if they would wait there they would be “clothed with power from on high.” In Acts 1:8 Jesus told His followers that they would receive “power” to be His witnesses.

So the disciples waited in Jerusalem for many days, praying near the temple. On the day of Pentecost, which was 50 days after Jesus had died on the cross, something amazing happened. The Holy Spirit was poured out on the early church . This is described in Acts 2:1-4.  The Bible says that when the Spirit came, the disciples were filled (another word is “baptized”) with the Spirit (more…)

WINDS OF PENTECOST

Dr Cindy JacobsDr. Cindy Jacobs – April 5, 2010

God Says: “I Want My People to Pray In a New Pentecost that will Sweep the Face of the Earth”

On December 31, 2009, the Holy Spirit spoke through me and said, “I’m going to shake the earth. You will begin to see earthquakes—I am going to shake everything that can be shaken. Look where the earthquakes are hitting because God is going to release a wind of Pentecost in those places.”

Since that time we have seen an increase in earthquake activity on a large scale. Haiti was and is experiencing horrible devastation. After the earthquake, the president called for a day of fasting and prayer for the nation. This was a miracle in this country that had formerly been dedicated to voodoo.

With only five days notice, Christian leaders were able to gather around 1,000,000 people for a prayer meeting. On that day, the winds of Pentecost did indeed blow as 3,000 were saved—among them 101 voodoo priests. It seems the back of the strongman of the occult was broken in that land and I believe a new Haiti will arise. (more…)

Christianity in Indonesia Surges; Healings, Miracles Part of the Reason?

Christian Breaking News – Teresa Neumann (Apr 21, 2010)

“More surprising, though, is the boom in Christianity—officially Indonesia’s second largest faith and a growing force throughout Asia. Indeed, the number of Asian Christian faithful exploded to 351 million adherents in 2005, up from 101 million in 1970, according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, based in Washington, D.C.”

(Indonesia)—A report in Time Magazine—a secular publication—has recognized the explosive growth of Christianity in Indonesia.

Notes reporter Hannah Beech: “A religious revolution is transforming Indonesia. Part of the spiritual blossoming entails Muslims embracing a more conservative form of faith…More surprising, though, is the boom in Christianity—officially Indonesia’s second largest faith and a growing force throughout Asia. Indeed, the number of Asian Christian faithful exploded to 351 million adherents in 2005, up from 101 million in 1970, according to the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life, based in Washington, D.C.”

“Much of the growth comes from Pentecostal and evangelical conversions,” she adds, “which have spread charismatic Christianity across the globe and are a large reason for estimates that by 2050 a majority of Christians will be living in developing nations. Already, less than a quarter of the world’s 600 million Pentecostals reside in the West, where the modern movement has its roots. Indeed, Pentecostalism is believed by some to be the fastest-growing faith in the world, if measured by conversions as opposed to births.” (more…)

Pastor Daniel meets ex-satanist from Mount Ainslie in Canberra

Pastor Daniel and Steve united in the LordSteve confronting Pastor Daniel on Mount AinslieDear family & friends in Christ,
 
I thank my Lord and Saviour every day for the young man who was once a Satanist, but was born again after the spiritual warfare prayer operation on Mount Ainslie in Canberra last October 2009.

 

This proves that God loves every single person, no matter who they are or what they have done, He will still forgive them of all their sin as He died for us all  (John 3:16).
 
I am sure you have all heard about this young man who was very angry and hostile towards us on Mount Ainslie last year in October 2009 when we carried out a major spiritual warfare prayer assault against Satan and his demonic powers of darkness over our capital city of Canberra and nation of Australia.  This young man at that point was a Satanist and led the anti-God mob against us right through the whole prayer operation.
 
Glory to God for miraculously opening the door for me to communicate via email with this young man, named Steve, who sometime in February this year 2010 gave his life to Jesus! I know many of you have being praying for him and I thank you so much for doing so.
 
In April during the revival meetings in Canberra, I along with my friend Pastor Glenn, met up with Steve at his home. This was the first time that I met him after he became a born-again Christian. I spent around 1 hour 10 minutes with him and oh how wonderful it was to sit next to a guy who was formerly on the other side (the dark side with Satan) and now we were both on the same side (in the light with Jesus)!
